Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 895: The Man Who Calmed Down the Chosen Ones

Silence—

Listening to Sin’s voice, no one responded. Everyone remained silent.

Among those present were people Lu Ce knew, and some he didn’t recognize well, all standing silently on the Great Wall, some even hovering in the air!

In short, they had positioned themselves in a very subtle formation, encircling Lu Ce completely.

The person closest to Lu Ce was Perfect Life. Seeing the current state of the crowd, he raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.

Why had the atmosphere suddenly turned so tense? And why was everyone releasing traces of their Divine Power?

It felt like they were comparing something, or proving something.

This made Perfect Life, who had absorbed less of Despair’s power, stand out as somewhat unusual.

The pressure continued to climb. This was the first time these God’s Chosen had completely unleashed their divine might without any restraint!

The planet had never witnessed so much divine power descending in a single location before!In an instant, even the air seemed to change color. Winds and clouds converged. Beneath the bright sunlight, the atmosphere turned dark and oppressive, as if black lightning were colliding in the sky.

Divine Power permeated the heavens, forcing members of the Heaven and Earth Society in the distance to retreat further and further away, struggling just to remain standing.

The winding Great Wall had stood on this land for countless years, like a sleeping dragon lying across the earth.

But now, enveloped and wrapped in such vast divine power, it seemed as though that dragon had awakened, radiating a terrifying presence.

"Heh, actually, you don’t need to answer. I already know why you’re all here."

"It’s simple. After getting those powers, you got swollen heads, didn’t you? Heh..."

Lu Ce abruptly lifted his head. His eyes, composed of flowing multicolored light, made it hard for anyone to meet his gaze.

Still, no one spoke, but hearing his words, their hearts couldn’t help but skip a beat.

In truth, they were also quite surprised to see each other here.

After all, today’s events had nothing to do with them. Each and every one had come entirely on their own initiative.

After absorbing Divine Power, they could all clearly feel the changes in their own temperaments and psychology. That influence was almost impossible to resist through sheer personal will.

But at the same time, they also vividly felt the intoxicating sensation of surging power—a transformation capable of completely destroying reason.

In that moment, they felt as though their entire lives had been wasted. The small increments of power they had gained in The Game before were like fireflies compared to the bright moon now.

That feeling of reaching the heavens in a single step made them feel omnipotent, as if all the dreams in human history were within easy reach.

They knew that mentality was dangerous, that they needed to calm down, but they simply couldn’t do it through willpower alone!

But ultimately, just as their spirits were about to climb into madness, a bucket of cold water was poured onto their souls.

That bucket of cold water came from a masked man.

He stood with his back to them, at the end of that path, tilting his head, staring at them with the exaggerated, ferocious grin unique to his mask.

And that man was now standing right in front of them.

To be precise, they didn’t even know why they had come here. They had simply learned of Sin’s whereabouts in The Game and came straight over.

The result was that almost everyone had gathered, like a meeting of top players. Anyone who didn’t know would have thought they were planning something together.

"Heh, it doesn’t matter. One by one..."

Lu Ce sighed helplessly in his heart, but the expression on his face began to gradually turn ferocious.

He had figured it out. For some strange reason, every God’s Chosen in this world, after obtaining power enough to drive them mad, ended up wanting to come find him.

Sun, the first one, had been schemed against by the gods, but even he had been exceptionally excited when fighting Lu Ce.

Xie Antong had also wanted to spar with him.

Now Perfect Life was no exception, and then there was Chiyo Eine and the others who had also shown up. It was like everyone was using him as a whetstone.

What, did they all think that after getting strong enough, they could come and beat him up?

"Let’s deal with your matter first. The rest of you, wait for now."

Saying this, Lu Ce calmly ignored everyone else and focused on Perfect Life.

Even under the targeted blockade of so much Divine Power, he still acted as if it was perfectly natural to leave them all hanging.

"Your earlier words were quite interesting."

Perfect Life was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected that the man before him had actually listened seriously to what he had said.

"But since the power is already inside you, you still have to absorb it. How exactly do you plan to proceed?"

Perfect Life put on a contemplative expression, thought for a moment, then said:

"Actually, I’ve only absorbed a small part of Despair’s power. But it’s strange—their despair wasn’t caused by me at all."

"Besides, the way He absorbs energy is inherently bizarre. How could creating despair increase power? If you absorb despair, shouldn’t it make other people’s despair decrease instead?"

Perfect Life smiled bitterly. When it came to studying Divine Power, he was still just a beginner.

But hearing his words, Lu Ce raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had caught a spark of inspiration.

Perfect Life continued with a smile:

"I’m not sure either. I don’t understand it. It’s fine to absorb it if I can, but I won’t actively bring despair to others."

"They all say you are Agony, but I’ve never seen you deliberately torment people. Well... of course, it’s hard to say for sure whether you have or haven’t."

"But I went back and watched some of your earlier games over the past couple of days. Most of the time, it seemed like you grew stronger by making yourself suffer."

"So... I’ll try that too."

With that, Perfect Life raised his head and looked at Sin, saying:

"Coming to see you today, I also want to experience for myself just how strong the world’s strongest really is."

"And let me see if your strength is enough to make me feel despair!"

"Hahahahaha!" After hearing this, Lu Ce burst into loud laughter. "After all that talk, you still just want to fight me!"

"How strange. Why does everyone want to come and get beaten up today!"

As he spoke, Lu Ce grinned maliciously and swept his gaze across the surrounding God’s Chosen players.

That look, along with the familiar aura, immediately made their hearts tighten. Then, as if annoyed by their own nervousness, they all furrowed their brows in unison.

Without another word, Lu Ce’s clothes rustled. The Illusion Cloak automatically changed color, turning his entire body golden!

In his hand, his most familiar weapon, the Extreme Path Battle Axe, appeared at the same time. He gave it a slight toss, weighing it.

"Make you despair, huh... Sounds like you want me to one-shot you quickly. Is that what you mean?"
