Damn it!

Upon hearing "Sin's" voice, the first reaction that surfaced in the Arbitrator's mind was that he might have said the wrong thing.

He was, to some extent, a double agent.

Although due to special circumstances, he had temporarily cooperated with Lu Ce, the deal between him and "Sin" absolutely could not be known by the gods.

Yet, he couldn't truly be loyal to "Sin" either; some of the things he told the gods also could not be known by "Sin."

In the heat of the moment during his fight with [War], he had blurted out something he shouldn't have, giving "Sin" a handle.

Based on past experience, once "Sin" got even the slightest advantage, he would pursue it relentlessly and keep expanding it.

Before he could even speak to salvage the situation, [War], who had just been relentlessly pursuing him with the long spear, stopped.

[You're quite confident, aren't you? Us scheming behind your back on how to deal with you? You really dare to think that.]

In [War]'s understanding, what Lu Ce just said was a bit too arrogant, to the point where he couldn't help but laugh a little.

In the Arbitrator's memory, this might even be the first time he had laughed.

But no! The Arbitrator wanted to stop him from continuing, but it was already too late.

[It would be more accurate to say that a few of us indeed discussed for a long time how to divide up you, the prey.]

[But don't worry, since you've made it this far, I will definitely make sure you die by my hand. This is the honor you deserve.]

Judging by his tone, he seemed quite serious, as if he genuinely believed this was an honor he was bestowing upon Lu Ce.

Thinking about it, dying in war did sound more heroic than other ways to die.

But Lu Ce didn't even bother to respond to him. Wearing the mask of Jealousy, he didn't even deign to mock him, simply turning his head to look at the Arbitrator.

"You see, brother, he admitted it himself."

"That is to say, they did have discussions and schemes behind the scenes, about the rules of the game, about how to kill me."

"That sounds like it makes the game somewhat unfair. As the fairest arbitrator in this world, I'm starting to have doubts about you. Are you truly absolutely fair?"

"After all, as your brother, I didn't even ask you to help me."

The pink face was exceptionally ferocious, and his words gave off a grating, unpleasant feeling.

Here we go again, here we go again!

The Arbitrator felt like cursing inside. This "Sin" was starting to say things again that only he and himself could understand.

This is a threat, right? Trying to force me to use this as an excuse to bias the rules in his favor!

But how could such a thing be done openly? The general rules have already been agreed upon; are we supposed to change them now?!

"I will not help any side. I am absolutely impartial..."

Just as he was organizing his words, trying to indicate how impossible this was, he realized "Sin" wasn't even looking at him.

His gaze passed over him, looking in the direction behind him.

He spoke with utter absurdity:

"I'm so jealous of you, War..."

As he spoke, that pink face twisted and contorted, giving off an exceptionally sinister vibe.

[Arbitrarily trampling the rules, smashing through everything with violence... if only I could have such power too...]

[War]: ?

He wasn't a fool either. The other party wouldn't suddenly praise him at a time like this. So what madness was he up to?

What was he thinking right now? If I put myself in his current situation, if I say...

Wait a minute! Why would I put myself in the shoes of a human? He can do whatever he wants.

[War] looked somewhat shocked at that ferocious pink face, forced to admit a fact: he had just been influenced by him!

Although it was only for a very brief moment, he was still influenced!

What did he do? But this also seems rather pointless...

But beside him, the Arbitrator, who had been observing "Sin" all along, noticed something was wrong.

The divine power overflowing from his body... why did it seem to have suddenly dropped sharply just now?

Was it absorbed? He said "I'm so jealous of you," and it was all absorbed?

The effect of this mask is quite good, quite remarkable.

No, that shouldn't be possible. This doesn't look like absorption either... it feels more like it was consumed!

The Arbitrator frowned deeply, looking at that constantly twisting, wrinkled face like a dirty rag. He always felt something was off.

Judging from the last game situation... has this guy... already started his game from this very moment!?

"Arbitrator, I'm jealous of you..."

Before he could figure it out, Lu Ce's words had already turned to him again, making him shudder.

While muttering this, he fired Hell's Roar again, blasting a shot at [War]!

Seeing him take action, Black Knight naturally had nothing to say either, immediately following up with a shot from behind.

Without another word, the situation that had just barely calmed down was actually stirred up again by "Sin," the weakest one!

Amidst the bombardment, through the method of combat, Lu Ce was rapidly fusing with that divine power.

[War] wasn't about to indulge him either, immediately taking action directly. The Arbitrator was also forced to get dragged into it, becoming "Sin's" bodyguard.

Just as he didn't know how to end this, the sky slowly darkened.

A somewhat distant voice echoed within this space.

[Everyone, how did we end up fighting already?]

[Truly worthy of being the world's strongest player with a long-standing reputation. The game hasn't even started yet, and you've already made it so exciting.]

[You've kept me waiting for so long.]

As the voice fell, a pitch-black humanoid figure materialized in the sky. From its appearance, it bore some resemblance to [Despair].

But this wasn't [Despair]; it was [Death]!

[Death] had arrived!

As everyone knew, among all the gods, the two with the greatest intellect were the gods of Life and Death. And after [Knowledge]'s death, he had advanced yet another step.

Now, saying he was the most powerful god wouldn't be incorrect either.

The Arbitrator breathed a sigh of relief. After all, with this guy making an appearance, he probably wouldn't have to worry too much anymore.

[Death]'s power suppressed the entire world. A feeling of annihilation pressed down on everyone's hearts, forcibly making the three of them stop.

"[Death]..." Lu Ce spoke hoarsely, "I'm jealous..."

[Alright, alright, enough of that.] Death immediately interrupted, making the energy around him become blurry and difficult to see through.

He wasn't entirely clear what "Sin" was doing, but in any case, it was best not to let him succeed.

[You really are... full of surprises.]

[Let's enter the game. The one gambling against you this time... is me!]

[State whatever conditions you want to propose.]
