Worried? Me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s mind didn’t quite register it at first, then she gave a bitter laugh and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What would I be worried about him for? Like it’s my place to worry about him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You deciding to focus your main force on him—he might actually want to thank you for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s last shred of reason told her: the side effects had definitely kicked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A self-destructive impulse made her feel like giving up, so she just sat down in the other party’s domain without any defenses—just resting like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To delay the symptoms a bit, she started talking non-stop, trying to drown out the voices in her own head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this sudden shift—from dangerous combat just moments ago to now giving up completely—happened to hit Chiyo Eine’s biggest mental weak point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This has to be a trap, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know him well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Know him?\" Xie Antong’s eyes went momentarily blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this point, the whole world probably wants to know him. But no one actually does. All anyone can do is guess based on past data.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From your perspective, it was always going to center around him anyway. The Sun’s condition makes him barely mobile—it’s clearly not sustainable. Maybe give it a bit more time and he’ll fall apart on his own.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to win, you’ll have to gather all your strength and see if you can take him down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine had been thinking the same. She nodded, her expression growing complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her sight, that woman in the helmet suddenly tilted her head back and lay down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right in the middle of the Black Water field. Right on this wide-open battlefield. She actually just laid down?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman’s mind is too sinister... when she saw I wasn’t taking the bait, she just kept showing more weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong lay flat on the ground, staring up at the darkness overhead, trying her best not to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch... crying at a time like this would be way too embarrassing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh... when everything is revealed—all the conspiracies, strategies, decryptions, and competition—it all comes down to one decisive battle in the end.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really am just too weak. So much for omniscient, all-powerful... what a joke......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her muttering from a distance, Chiyo Eine was completely speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was this woman—who had tangled with her so fiercely—now calling herself useless over and over again……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what did that make Chiyo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do all Huaguo folks insult others in such roundabout ways?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the nearby Xie Antong, Chiyo Eine's expression turned complicated. Finally, she asked something that Xie Antong never could have expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your cooperation model with Sin? Do you like him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instantly sat up from the Black Water, staring at Chiyo Eine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you say I like? What’s going on in your head? We’re not even in any kind of cooperation! He framed me from the very beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, her gaze gradually turned dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anything, I should hate him......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to the two times they’d met—the gut-punch of his words after the first game, and then the second time when he beat her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only emotions he ever triggered in her were fear, tension, and wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xie Antong said she didn’t like him, Chiyo Eine quietly let out a breath of relief in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it’s obvious your dynamic is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Out of the three of you, it’s clear you two are the ones on the same team. It’s like you’ve known each other from the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That whole Perfect Completion standoff between Sun and him—it’s obvious you sided with him more than Sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, claiming you two aren’t cooperating is a stretch. When you parted, you gave him an Earpiece to share locations. Nobody gave a d*mn about Sun......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong stared blankly, sitting in place, her brain going offline again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already emotionally unstable from wave after wave of feelings—now she was spiraling into an identity crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finally escaping her boring family, entering high school, that one slightly strange boy had stood out to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, after this Chosen’s Game started, even though she didn’t know him, she found herself watching the world’s strongest more than anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even felt like her connection with Lu Ce had faded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, she totally forgot about the fact that being in the game all the time made communication impossible—and that Lu Ce was deliberately avoiding her. She started gaslighting herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head back and lay down again, slowly closing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that guy was right about me... way back in the first game......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. So tired. Can this Black Water just drown me or something......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine had no idea what was up with her, but she knew what she had to do now—end this battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ninety Players had been eliminated for various reasons! Even Reno’s elimination announcement came through quickly—so Chiyo Eine decided not to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she waited any longer, her stamina wouldn’t hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All targets unified—Sin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment, Lu Ce was already slaughtering at full power and speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving Xie Antong’s final intel, Lu Ce—though almost devoid of reason—relied on Greed’s instinct and madness to know what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept expanding outward from his location. The hotspots Xie Antong had pointed out were ones he’d already locked down earlier—he was eliminating them at maximum efficiency!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was Xie Antong’s words that worked—he didn’t even have time to farm Pain Points. His priority was weakening enemy power as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his kill count had already exceeded that of the far-off Merciless Scorching Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in his senses, many Entities incapable of entering a state of madness were running around the city, spreading something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Chiyo Eine’s final command, all Divine Creations had locked onto one target. No more hesitation—they all turned their heads in one direction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lu Ce felt it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A twisted, terrifying grin split across his Blue-painted face, and his laughter echoed across Tokyo’s night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing toward the distant Sun, he burst out laughing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew it, I knew it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess I’ve got great people skills—even that friend is willing to help me. I suppose this is payback for sparing their life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our competition is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1056,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","b6bb84e968b974f3b63928351f5542180708f1c4c8b47b258cc34988ec25baee","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-206","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-204",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
