Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 908: The First Sensation of Pain; Divine Power Surging

Her gaze lingered on that direction for a long time, filled with love and reluctance, unwilling to leave.

In truth, she really didn't want to go, but she knew she had to. She needed to leave Lu Ce room to "evolve."

At one moment earlier, she had even actively let Pleasure's divine power take over her consciousness.

She made herself unbridled, cold-blooded, treating life like a game.

Otherwise, she feared she really wouldn't be able to leave.

The anchor she used to tether herself to humanity was Lu Ce, so the influence he could have on her heart and mind was enormous.

They were people fighting against gods. Taking even one step toward a warm embrace was like taking a step toward hell itself! This couldn't afford emotional impulsiveness.

She could feel it, and Nie Jiu Tian could feel it too. The energy fluctuations from the nodes scattered across the world were already growing increasingly intense.

No matter how They chose to descend... in any case, the time wouldn't be far off.

Actually, she thought that if she had gone a little further, making herself show no trace of her original self at all, it might have had a greater impact on Lu Ce.But if she did that, she was a bit worried Lu Ce might just make a move against her...

Besides, she couldn't bear it either.

"Forget it, let's leave it like this. I believe you'll make it, just like countless times before."

"The Strongest Player... even if you become a god, you'll still be the strongest!"

Muttering to herself, Xie Antong consumed her own melancholy and forced herself to turn around in midair.

Then, the expression between her brows quickly faded and shifted, once again taking on that smile that treated everything as a plaything in her hands.

"Still, this is pretty good too. A little more fun."

"This guy's body really isn't bad, tsk tsk..."

"Pleasure, oh Pleasure, back then you couldn't take down Agony, could you? But now, I've already taken down my man. What do you have to compare with me?"

Muttering to herself, her figure vanished directly in midair. Heartward Drift allowed her to go anywhere in the world at any time, and it was unknown exactly where she had gone.

...

In the room, Lu Ce looked at the person who had suddenly vanished from his arms, sighed helplessly, and sat back down on the sofa.

He didn't speak for a long time. An abnormally turbulent wave of exhaustion suddenly surged into his heart. That feeling was even stronger than after he had fought the Sun.

"Oh ho, reminiscing already? Tsk tsk tsk..."

In the empty room, a voice suddenly rang out. A metal ball flew in through the window. It was the Black Knight's voice.

"Holy crap! This, this, this... you guys made this much of a ruckus? Don't tell me you two actually fought."

When the Black Knight saw the room full of cracks everywhere, it was utterly stunned. In the end, it didn't dare transform back into its original form.

It could only stay in its metal ball state, floating in midair.

At that moment, it also noticed that Lu Ce's mental state was off. It slowly came to a stop in the air and quietly stayed by his side.

"Sigh, what's wrong? Did she change that much? To the point where you feel she's completely a different person?"

After all, it had been by Lu Ce's side for so long, so it understood him quite well. It knew roughly what was on his mind right now.

"She's still holding on to her true self." For once, Lu Ce actually spoke.

"But, only for now..."

"What do you mean?" the Black Knight asked.

"If she really does defeat Pleasure and seize their divine throne... she'll almost inevitably become that way."

Lu Ce wasn't wearing his mask at the moment. He could tell that his current emotional state was off, probably stuck in a negativity he had never experienced before.

But he didn't want to put on the mask and use madness to cancel it out. He wanted to think.

He recalled what the gods had once said, and the Sun's behavior.

He was almost certain that "becoming a god" was probably an utterly absurd act.

At that point, the will inherent in the power itself would invade your will. If Xie Antong defeated Pleasure, she would become the new Pleasure.

Similarly, the other God's Chosen were basically in the same state.

And if they failed, it was even simpler. Dying was already the most comfortable outcome...

"Brother, are you seriously thinking way too far ahead? You're already considering the problems after success?"

"I doubt your odds of victory even add up to ten percent. Don't think that far ahead for now."

Seeing that Lu Ce's state was off, the Black Knight quickly tried to comfort him, wanting to stop him from continuing to dwell on it.

But Lu Ce had already closed his eyes, his face expressionless. His entire mental state was deeply low, silent, as if he had entered some special state of mind.

Where did these gods originally come from? ...

If I could already be certain that after defeating a god, I would become the same kind of thing They are, then what was the point?

It was just cycling through in a different way. And besides, was that really me winning, or was that the power winning?

Especially since the one who had chosen him was that Agony, whose purpose was completely unknown.

He wanted to pursue the highest power, but right now, thinking about it all felt like an illusion.

— You think you've obtained the highest power in the world, but more likely, it's just that power devouring you.

The deepest suffering in humanity; all hopes turned to ashes.

"Damn! No way, did that woman do something to you? How did you end up like this!"

The Black Knight hovered anxiously in the air, circling around. It could sense that right now, even though "Sin" had no physical injuries, he was likely facing the most severe crisis.

Just as it was wondering whether it should go find backup, suddenly, gale-force winds erupted from all directions.

Centered on Lu Ce, a storm of divine power swept through the space, surging violently into his body.

That divine power was unfamiliar, exceptionally pure. It was the power of Agony.

Lu Ce, who had never known what pain felt like, suddenly furrowed his brows tightly.

An intense, uncomfortable sensation surged within his mind, like a saw grinding through his brain.

He didn't know that this uncomfortable sensation was called the feeling of pain!

"Huh?" The Black Knight was stunned. It had no idea why the situation had suddenly shifted like this. This was completely unexpected.

I was sitting here worrying for half the day, and you're over here breaking through?

At the same time, directly in front of Lu Ce, a white light burst forth, and a door materialized out of thin air.
