Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 890: Piling Pressure on Hatred, Perfect Life's Arrival

"Your ability—as long as you land a hit, it works on any existence, right?"

Lu Ce clamped down tightly on the other's wrist, pulling the hand away from his body, speaking with great interest.

This kind of absolutely domineering, forced skill was practically a divine technique at moments like this.

Looking back, in that distant game, back when Shui Zhongmeng was still a pure rookie, he'd relied on this very skill to force the avatar of the god of Lust out of its host.

Though it hadn't caused Lu Ce any harm just now, that was only because this branch of the Heaven and Earth Society lacked top-tier experts who could break through his defenses.

If the Sun had been here, when he'd lost focus for that instant just now, things might not have gone so smoothly.

Around his neck, the wound torn open by Wu Changkong's skateboard had already healed thanks to Gluttony's power. A diamond-shaped, blood-red fragment appeared there, warding off the skateboard.

Wu Changkong twisted in midair, planning to reposition his skateboard and launch another attack, but Lu Ce didn't give him the chance.

His fist smashed heavily into the side, instantly covering the Legendary-grade skateboard in cracks, sending both man and board crashing into the deep valley below.

Seizing the opportunity, Shui Zhongmeng tried to break free, only to discover in horror that his arm felt completely embedded in a black hole—numb and utterly immobile.Sensing Shui Zhongmeng's unusual strength, a smile curled across Lu Ce's face.

This guy was pretty capable. Different from the other Heaven and Earth Society members.

So, on a whim, Lu Ce decided to give him a hand.

Hatred, huh... Then let's pile some more pressure on that hatred!

"In this battle... you're different from the others, you understand..."

"So I can give you a hand."

Lu Ce suddenly leaned down, putting his mouth close to Shui Zhongmeng's ear, speaking cryptically.

Shui Zhongmeng didn't understand what he meant, but he had no time to think—the next second, a wave of excruciating pain surged through his entire body.

This is helping me? Letting me die early, is that it?!

Lu Ce gripped his wrist and hurled him away with all his strength!

This throw used every ounce of his current physical capability.

Crackle, crackle~...

A sickening series of bone-shattering sounds rolled through the other's entire body. Shui Zhongmeng's eyes bulged so wide they looked ready to pop out of their sockets, unable to make a sound.

His arm dangled limply in Lu Ce's grasp, like a soft rope, his entire body swaying unconsciously from the impact.

That single throw, with Lu Ce grabbing his wrist, had cracked every bone in his body—some even completely shattered!

Lu Ce hesitated for a moment in his mind, wondering if this guy could even survive, but quickly pushed those thoughts away.

Leaning close to Shui Zhongmeng's ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, he said mockingly:

"You're way too far from him. You can't get revenge. Today, you're just leading the courageous members of your organization to their deaths together."

"You know it deep down. The Sun didn't really die by my hand. He died because of the gods' scheming."

"You wanted to use me as a whetstone, get stronger, then fight the gods? Heh... just die peacefully. This world has no place for you anymore."

Blood gushed from Shui Zhongmeng's mouth in torrents. In his fading consciousness, Lu Ce's words seemed to echo slowly, endlessly replaying in his mind.

This world... has no stage left for me, huh...

Boom!

A terrifyingly loud explosion erupted from his chest as Lu Ce's leg—powerful enough to create a sonic boom—smashed heavily into it.

Shui Zhongmeng had become a bloody mess, flying off like a soaked, tattered sack, crashing into a mountain and disappearing from sight.

Lu Ce flexed his wrist. He hadn't held back with those two strikes. Honestly, he wasn't sure if Shui Zhongmeng would survive.

But hey, the guy was part of a god-player wager. If he wanted to gain extreme power in the shortest time possible, this was the risk that came with it.

Right before the other lost consciousness, Lu Ce planted seeds of hatred as deeply as he could—directed at both himself and the gods.

Based on Lu Ce's understanding of Divine Power, that obsession should fuel the guy's absorption of it. If it worked, then there'd be one more combatant to fight the gods.

After all, having more of these guys around would share the pressure and boost his odds of winning. Otherwise, was he supposed to fight the gods alone against multiple opponents?

And if the guy didn't survive... well, he'd be dead a few days sooner or later anyway.

Staring at the direction where the other had vanished, with no more sound, Lu Ce lost interest and didn't feel like fighting anymore.

But the remaining Heaven and Earth Society members, spurred on by that horn-like inspiring war cry, grew even more enraged and began surging forward.

In their eyes, this was essentially the end—Heaven and Earth Society's top dog, second-in-command, and third-in-command had all died at Sin's hands.

This was now a war of annihilation, with no reason to retreat.

Lu Ce, however, stood still, making no move to dodge or defend, instead locking eyes with the one who kept blowing that horn.

"Alright, that's enough already."

"Can you stop blowing that thing? While others fight, you just keep fanning the flames, huh?"

Just then, the nearest Heaven and Earth Society members were right on him, with no intention of stopping. But the next second, a golden light enveloped this section of the Great Wall.

That golden light slowed everyone down, forcibly pinning them to the ground, completely immobile.

A figure with golden hair, radiating dazzling light, suddenly appeared beside Lu Ce, like a holy son.

"There's no need to go after ordinary people. They're some of the few courageous ones left in this world."

Lu Ce turned to look at him—at this suddenly appeared Perfect Life!

"You think they're ordinary? They're anything but ordinary."

"I noticed you were here a while ago. What, you've got nothing better to do these days, and now you're sticking your nose into everything?"

But when he saw Perfect Life's face, even Lu Ce was momentarily stunned into silence.

"Uh... what's with that look?"

"Feeling like the world's about to end, so you just let yourself go, overindulging in pleasure? You should probably show some restraint..."
