Her ground-binding array didn’t work on it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top players from all over really had their own tricks. Ranking didn’t always mean everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, except for Park Bu Seong—he was actual trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shark fin on the ground stirred things up like mad, tripping a whole wave of people. Some players couldn’t hold back and started fighting back—instantly exposing themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to players, it turned into the sharpest blade in the world, launching ruthless attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Hell Mode Game. Everyone here was a veteran player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you're scared, then give it all up and exit—no big deal. But if you’re greedy and not strong enough...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then your fate is sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong was calculating the fin’s appearances, weaving through the panicked crowd like a swimming fish, staying unnoticed while thinking about how to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Reno, the twelfth player, looked utterly useless. He couldn’t do a thing and turned to leave, looking embarrassed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t make it far—something silver shot up from the ground and slammed hard into his shinbone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It straight-up broke his leg. Reno collapsed in pain, face grim but silent. He gritted his teeth and started crawling forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Changkong underground was a bit stunned. What kind of useless guy was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he didn’t plan to hold back. The shark fin shimmered with a cold gleam as it dove straight ahead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that hit landed, this American guy was going to be split in half for sure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the last second, Reno's movements—though not pretty—were agile enough to get him under the Tokyo Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and touched it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal surface of the tower instantly liquefied, like it had been hit by a fireball from the sun. But it didn’t cool down—it flowed into Reno’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, a high-tech exoskeleton wrapped around his whole body—practically turning him into a human mech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electric energy condensed at his shin, lifting him off the ground. He now looked like a full-on weapon of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left hand stayed pressed against Tokyo Tower, metal constantly flowing into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a lift of his right hand, it morphed into a massive drill, growling menacingly as he smashed it into the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shark fin vanished instantly—no idea where it went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ground wasn’t so lucky. That drill was slammed down with fury, and the earth cracked open. Fissures spread outward. The ground nearby even collapsed for no clear reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tokyo's civil engineering might need some work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cracked an American-style joke with a cold face. His left hand never let go. The entire Tokyo Tower was getting sucked into him, turning into armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he casually raised a massive shield with a deep clang, his leg braces stabbing into the ground, keeping him steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out, it was Lu Ce who gave him a shot while brawling with Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While fighting, Sun was tossing out fireballs, aiming at Chiyo Eine and Wu Changkong on the ground. Sparks flew off his body, even hitting some bystanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce pulled out a book from who knows where. Maybe he wanted to show it off? Even during a fight, he couldn’t shut up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feeling good lately? If you're happy, read a book. Guess you’re not feeling so happy now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine was unbelievably busy, casting spells like crazy—some for binding, some for shielding, some for attack. She was all over the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was focused solely on their opponent. Everyone was thinking about the big picture, aiming for Perfect Completion. It was an all-out brawl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun gave a cold snort and suddenly stomped the ground. A pillar of fire shot up, blasting Wu Changkong out from underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the first maniac appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reno, from the U.S. Special Forces, looked at the chaos and carnage around him. Something about it must’ve triggered his PTSD—his face was lit with madness and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his right hand—and dropped a massive Gatling gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way that thing existed in the real world. It looked like something born of fantasy, built purely for war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the firepower unleashed. 3,600 rounds per minute, raining bullets like hellfire. The Tokyo Tower behind him served as his ammo depot—and now it was leaning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His main targets were those few, but attacks like that couldn’t help hitting others too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, get out of the way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine shouted, summoning a massive black hand that wrapped around Reno and raised a barrier in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People finally started running in all directions. You’d think their brains were fried—after all this chaos, they were just now trying to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong blinked a few times and got right behind Chiyo Eine—not to backstab, just because it was safer here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been popping pills since the chaos began. Never got caught, never got hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goddess of Self-Preservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the terrifying barrage of bullets, what was technically a battle among a few players looked more like a full-blown military assault. Lu Ce’s voice rang out, excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nice, nice! This is how it should be!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo, this place is already a hot mess—everyone, dig in while it’s hot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me pop a potion first. Hey fire boy, can you not throw fireballs at me right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong listened to Sin's voice in her ear while controlling the All-Seeing Eye, watching Chiyo Eine form seals—very curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... she might’ve gotten too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine seemed to sense something. She whipped around suddenly—their eyes locked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s you?! That person called Blank?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re with Sin! You’ve been hiding here all along?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine instantly flared up like a spooked cat, jumping back several meters, eyeing Xie Antong with deep wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ?\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","6a2baf87f113a6b37d1e174b959174348fe2e26c0c41831b34f3010297d8fe29","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-177","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-175",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
