Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 782: The Most Greedy Gluttony, the Golden Body Has Been Broken!

At this final moment, the eyes of [Knowledge] were filled with an unusual light. At the moment of making the most extreme decision, He seemed to have become a human.

His eyes were full of resentment and anger, staring fixedly at the Arbitrator before him.

Perhaps it was the ability granted by the massive influx of information, or perhaps He had also evolved in this moment close to death.

In any case, at this point in time, He was not looking at Lu Ce, nor at Xie Antong, but was staring directly at the Arbitrator.

He felt something was off about the Arbitrator. He felt the current Arbitrator was different from that entity of the past!

He was unwilling. As a god, having existed in this universe for such a long time.

He was [Knowledge]! To know all was to be all-powerful. In this universe, He believed He would eventually understand everything. He should have been the mightiest god!

But reality was, He was dying because of two humans, dying for reasons completely unclear, not even understanding what He had lost to by the time of death...

Under the gaze of these eyes, the Arbitrator was also extremely unnatural, as if He had been seen through.

At this moment, the "Sin" below was still adding fuel to the fire, speaking up:"Bro, why are you even bothering with Him? You're the most impartial referee. Just deal with Him whether He's convinced or not, isn't that enough?"

The Arbitrator's heart immediately skipped a beat, cursing inwardly that this guy couldn't just say a few less words.

When He hadn't done these things, they never seemed problematic, but now that He had actually done them, hearing this was truly nerve-wracking!

Especially since [Pleasure] and [Despair] were watching from the side...

And within His nervousness was contained an extreme killing intent!

Never mind "Sin" for now. At this moment, [Knowledge] must die!

"Apologies, duty-bound. This is not my decision. I am not qualified to make a decision."

"This is determined by the Rules, and the Rules were set by you gods back in the day."

This kind of half-explanation, half-excuse was something the Arbitrator could never have uttered before, but now it flowed out with unusual smoothness.

As the words fell, He didn't even wait for the other party to have a chance to respond. He directly pressed down from the void, forcibly trying to push the power of the wager into "Sin's" body.

Either He would disintegrate due to insufficient energy.

Or if He wanted to Self-Expose, then He should hurry up and do it!

His birth was as a servant to the gods, but now, He was personally forcing a god to die!

This feeling was hard to describe, but within His will, a forbidden sense of pleasure inexplicably appeared.

[Ahhhhhhh!]

[Knowledge] could no longer utter any words by the end. Listening to His howl, it was as if countless pieces of information violently flooded one's mind, driving one mad.

And on His body, the cracks suddenly widened and grew larger, before He exploded with a tremendous bang!

[Hey! Wait!] "Pleasure" instinctively felt this was somewhat absurd, but it was already too late to stop it.

[Despair]'s brows were also tightly furrowed. In the last few minutes, His power had increased significantly, already recovering what had been weakened before.

The death of a god of the same level as Himself in such a despairing and aggrieved manner was naturally a great tonic for Him.

But He found it difficult to feel any joy now. This was the first time He had seen a god truly die before His eyes.

It was an indescribable sense of oppression and eeriness...

Boom!

A terrifying explosion resounded through this world. The entire sky became abnormally bright, as if the world had turned white.

This explosion caused the Game world to directly collapse. The Life and Death Boundary disappeared, and the Despair Secret Sea returned to the space where it originally belonged.

The powerful energy of [Knowledge] swept past the cheeks of [Pleasure] and [Despair], causing Their eyebrows and eyes to twitch.

Although it was a god's Self-Expose, appearing far more dazzling than a supernova explosion, counter-intuitively, it caused no damage whatsoever.

Because His energy was not focused on temperature or impact force. His Self-Expose was a form of disintegration, forcibly returning the power He had gathered back to the universe.

The sole purpose was His utter unwillingness and His desire not to let His power be obtained by "Sin".

Someone like him was not worthy of receiving Knowledge's favor!

When the gentle breeze of that energy brushed past Lu Ce and the Arbitrator, the remnant consciousness of [Knowledge] entered Their minds.

[I... will not let you off!]

"Oh? Thanks for the reminder." Regardless of what the Arbitrator thought, these words did remind Lu Ce.

"I already knew you might try to renege..."

Then, he raised his hand and wiped it across his face. His entire face instantly turned crimson red, with only a blue mark adorning the center of his brow.

This was the state of the most Greedy Gluttony.

The point where Lu Ce differed from ordinary people was that he never thought of gods as lofty or superior.

In his judgment, reneging, cheating, going back on one's word, becoming furious out of humiliation—such situations were entirely possible for Them.

Thus, Gluttony had long been prepared.

His mouth gaped open, looking as if his entire face had been split apart, like a drain in a bathroom. He directed a vortex of devouring straight at the remaining energy!

A massive influx of energy poured down. He didn't care whether he could swallow it all. The concept of Gluttony had no notion of acting within one's means!

Stage one, stage two, stage three...

The form of the Gluttony mask continuously changed, absorbing more and more energy. Lu Ce's eyes gradually lost their luster.

At the last moment before losing consciousness, he grabbed a hand beside him.

If he really couldn't absorb it all, the excess energy shouldn't be wasted. Let it be responsible for repairing the woman beside him.

With the Gate of Death, he probably wouldn't burst...

Dust to dust, earth to earth.

Everything returned to calm. Several figures stood within the void. Before this Game began, aside from the person who had now become a fool, no one had expected the outcome to be like this.

Feeling the disappearance of [Knowledge], the Arbitrator suddenly felt a sense of relief and ease.

He didn't know what He was relieved about, but it was like a ritual.

His face was once again covered by a layer of shadow. He lowered His head, making it impossible for others to see His expression or discern His emotions.

In reality, this was because He could no longer suppress the corners of His mouth!

He could feel the two gods beside Him watching Him. It was a gaze of wariness He had never experienced before.

That represented respect.

He had never experienced... such a satisfying feeling before!

[Did you... turn off the Game's live broadcast interface just now?] After a long silence, [Despair] finally broke the quiet.

"...No."

He had forgotten.

Truly forgotten.

Therefore, regardless of the process, the result was already clear—"Sin" had won, [Knowledge] was dead.

The gods, Their golden bodies had been shattered!
