Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren't Twisted Enough
Chapter 852: [War]’s Stubbornness: I’ve come to find you!
A dull, thunderous sound reverberated through the space. Pleasure instantly looked up. These successive, unexpected changes made him feel his spirit was like a piece of iron wire being bent back and forth.
One moment he felt amused, the next he felt irritable, always harboring the illusion of wanting to take action.
"See, look. The one to stir the pot has arrived."
"I can only say that kid 'Sin' did a really good job. It's too surprising for me. Actually, I remember I wasn't that familiar with this guy back then."
Agony's face also wore a strange expression as he pointed at this space and spoke.
Pleasure was also somewhat tense. He glanced back at the black box and saw that Death inside had stood up again, clearly also feeling unsettled.
This great god kept standing up and sitting down as if he came here to practice leg exercises.
Pleasure said through gritted teeth:
"War!... You brainless fool!"
"Don't say that. None of you gods possess an organ called a brain. Have you spent too much time with humans that you've gotten used to their vocabulary?"
Agony teased.
The entire world shook violently. This time, even the Arbitrator couldn't react in time. Soaring into the air, he used himself as the center point, supporting this heaven and earth.
"Stop, War. The Game has not ended. Do not interfere with the Rules of the Game."
"What about your own game? Are you completely ignoring it too?!"
The Arbitrator's voice echoed across the sky. However, his threats were absolutely useless against War, a guy who only recognized dead-set principles.
Moreover, War was very special within this Game!
Back when they were fighting over who would deal with "Sin," four gods had exceptionally firm stances, to the point of not yielding an inch.
For Life, the way to persuade him to back down was to tell him that this Game would definitely contain important elements related to him.
That way, even if he didn't participate in this Game, he could still gain considerable benefits.
So he gave up. Considering himself the strongest god, he didn't have much obsession with "Sin."
But War didn't care about any of this. He believed this "Sin" was his perfect opponent, and that he had likely also crossed that line.
The gods couldn't reason with him, nor did they know what exactly the "that line" he spoke of was. But directly clashing with the God of War wasn't a good thing anyway.
The final compromise was that this Game could reserve a spot for War. At a necessary moment, for example, if the god side was truly about to lose, then he could also participate.
At the very beginning of the Game, when "Sin's" power erupted, it attracted him over once again, requiring Death to placate him for a long time.
The condition given was that they would definitely find an opportunity for him to face "Sin" directly.
That was just a delaying tactic at the time. But now, these repeatedly planted foreshadowings finally erupted. War had still come! At the most inappropriate time!
It was precisely because of his special status that the Arbitrator couldn't forcibly exclude him, finding it exceptionally difficult to block him.
In the sky, the space continuously compressed and deformed inward, as if forming a huge, blurry face that opened its mouth and said:
"You truly have crossed that line."
"Or is it... Agony?"
"But it's fine. Your life is mine. We promised each other."
Death stood inside the black box, wanting to communicate with War, but was completely trapped inside the turtle shell, hesitant to act for fear of collateral damage.
If he actively overturned the Rules from his side, just how chaotic would this Game become?
"If you're really that restless, you can go roll off to another Room. As far as I know, Perfect Life seems quite eager to fight you."
"I warn you, don't come interfere with me!"
Pleasure's eyes flickered with dangerous light, staring straight at the face protruding into the sky, releasing his own Divine Power outward.
That large face swayed left and right, causing the entire space to emit creaking sounds, and said indifferently:
"It seems you're about to lose too."
"Trash!!"
Pleasure: "?"
Such straightforward insults were something only War could utter. Pleasure directly stood up.
"Alright, sit down and behave. Don't think it's just him now. In reality, pulling one hair moves the whole body. The other gods will sense it too."
"If you cause this Game to collapse directly, it won't just be our little corner that collapses."
Agony said with a smile, then picked up the three remaining cards in front of him. After looking at them, he casually threw two out.
A "4" and a "5." It was already certain these cards could beat the "Tiger."
It was just that the number of cards played still didn't conform to the Rules. This was all something "Sin" had calculated long ago. He didn't need to do anything extra; a draw was fine.
"Alright, play your card directly now. I know Death over there must have also prepared a contingency plan for failure."
"Losing is losing, no big deal. Having wins and losses is what makes it Pleasure, otherwise how boring."
"And it's not necessarily a loss. What if that little bit of Sand you have left is more than what that kid hid inside his body?"
As he spoke, he even pointed at the hourglass in front of Pleasure, which already held a pitifully small amount of sand.
"Don't even think about it..."
Pleasure's fists were already clenched tight. Although losing to Agony wasn't as hard to accept as losing to a human, the sense of frustration today had already driven him almost to madness!
...
"Agony!"
In the sky, the voice belonging to War spoke with contained anger, perhaps dissatisfied with Agony ignoring him.
"Regardless of whether you are him, or yourself... I'm coming for you!"
"Did you hear that? He said he's coming for me. He's already starting to breathe heavily over there, how terrifying. Look at the space shaking."
Agony bent his fingers and knocked on the constantly shaking Gambling Table.
"Don't think about it. That guy 'Sin' really planted quite a few hidden pieces. Aside from having the power of a god, you've lost too much."
War: "?"
The large face in the sky froze for an instant, seemingly experiencing a moment of self-doubt.
Did he just completely ignore me?
Instantly, the entire space shook even more violently. But this situation instead stirred Pleasure's rebellious heart, giving him a feeling of completely disregarding the consequences.
Suddenly, that mass of purple-black energy swirling around his body surged violently once again, crashing towards the one remaining card on the table!
