【Death】 was practically seething with rage, veins nearly popping on his forehead. After a moment of silence, he snapped sharply, "Idiot! Did 'Sin' scramble your brain just now? I'm not talking about that girl! I'm talking about 'Sin'!"

【Pleasure】 was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding why 【Death】 had suddenly become so furious. However, after calming down a bit, he also began to feel his own way of speaking just now was somewhat abnormal. After a thoughtful pause, he replied, "What about him? What did he do? Hasn't he been locked up with you the whole time? What could he possibly do? Unless... has he started being able to influence our game outside?"

Perhaps by stepping out of Lu Ce's verbal framework and creating some distance, his thinking had become much more normal. He quickly guessed the reason for 【Death】's agitation. "Hmph... at least your brain isn't completely useless, reacting quickly enough," 【Death】 said. "First, you can no longer view 'Sin' as an ordinary human. On certain levels, he should have already reached the standard of a god. He has absorbed too much of Knowledge's power. While it hasn't manifested much in terms of energy or life level, he has already mastered a skill that can interfere with us..."

As he spoke, 【Death】's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, roughly explaining to 【Pleasure】 the Ignorance Aura that 'Sin' had previously displayed. "Using words to make us dumber? What kind of skill is that?" 【Pleasure】 was baffled. He was an old, established major god and had a general understanding of the abilities the various gods possessed. A skill with little combat power that sounded so strange didn't seem to be anyone's exclusive specialty. However, thinking about it carefully, it did seem quite disgusting. How on earth did he come up with that... 【Pleasure】 couldn't help but smile. "This guy is really interesting, always able to develop such fascinating abilities. What a pity..."

The corner of 【Death】's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, *What exactly are you pitying? Are you pitying that he didn't become your Apostle?* "However, if he has such an ability, the gambling table seems to be his best choice. Did he not think of that?" 【Death】 shook his head and replied, "No way. The method of deducting life points inside that black box incorporates Life's power; it's quite overbearing. That was agreed upon with Life back then. If that girl came, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it. Also, back to the main point, when I say that kid is strange, it's not just limited to these aspects..."

【Death】's voice instantly turned serious. "Tell me." "I suspect... he might still have some method to communicate with the outside world." "What?!" 【Pleasure】 was truly shocked this time, taking a step back and sizing up 【Death】 up and down, with a look of wanting to speak but holding back. Communicate with the outside world... To know, even if the two of them wanted to communicate, they had to use that method—simultaneously touching the black box, releasing energy, sensing each other's presence. Then he forcibly triggered a special condition of the Game, which gave them this opportunity to communicate. Could 'Sin' do that? That's nonsense!

"You... haven't gone crazy, have you? When setting the rules for this Game, you said we should set strong rules that even we couldn't violate. Do you think he can?" ...... Indeed, before the start of this Game, at the meeting of the gods, it was mainly 【Death】 who spoke. At that time, because Knowledge had died, his power had climbed to a certain extent, reaching the strongest among the gods. The stronger one was, the louder their voice. Apart from arguing for a long time about who to send to fight against 'Sin,' the rest was about the content of this Game.

At that time, 【Death】 stated that the next god-player wager must begin as soon as possible. However, the rules this time could not be arbitrarily set entirely by the gods themselves; they had to be modified through the Arbitrator's ability to ensure absolute fairness in the game design! All advantages for the gods must stem from their own abilities, but the game rules themselves must be fair to both sides this time! To show that the gods' victory was fair and square. When this requirement was first proposed, all the gods were in an uproar, completely unaware of what 【Death】 was trying to do. For this, 【Death】 argued fiercely with the other gods for a long time, forcefully pushing through this policy. In the end, apart from the Arbitrator who could somewhat guess his intentions, all the other gods were completely baffled, feeling this fair duel was utterly baffling.

...... And now, hearing 【Pleasure】's question, he could only shake his head. "Hard to say... That guy just now was inexplicably injured. I think that guy should have been doing something all along, but I don't know what. This is a big problem." 【Pleasure】 sighed and said, "So, this is why you touched the black box, demanded I must contact you, and wanted to modify our strategy, thinking we've already started to risk losing? Sigh, why did you make things so complicated, even creating that so-called absolute fairness? In the end, it purely hinders us at every turn."

After just a couple of sentences, he had already started complaining, still not understanding the other's previous decision. 【Death】 looked up at him and said, "What, do you think that in a fair duel, you're no longer their match?" "Oh, don't use that to provoke me," 'Pleasure' waved his hand impatiently. When persuading the gods before, 【Death】 had used these very tactics—things like the pride and dignity belonging to gods... Such things were 'politically correct' among the gods, and the gods indeed believed themselves to be supreme, so they couldn't refute it. The problem was, in his memory, the other party didn't seem to care about face and these things so much before! Could it really just be about motivating the gods to take things seriously and not treat it as a game through this rule of fairness? He didn't understand.

"Alright, I know that guy is indeed strange. So tell me, what do you plan to do next?" "I require you to..." ...... Soon, the allotted time for communication between the two sides passed. 【Pleasure】 and 【Death】 emerged from the divine power Barrier they had set up. And the moment they came out, they discovered the situation outside seemed somewhat eerie. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

'Sin' was sitting alone on his own chair at the black box's location, legs crossed and shaking one foot. Xie Antong was sitting at the gambling table, looking at the cards in front of her, pondering something. The two of them had completely no communication?! "Oh ho? Finished your secret chat?"
