She couldn’t speak, felt dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no idea how to handle this—everyone here had lost their minds. Even those who were supposed to stop the madness were just as insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was the capital. People from other regions were watching, but couldn’t send anyone to take control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the place was now in a completely ungovernable, lawless state. The only ones who could still maintain their sanity were the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant her—Chiyo Eine—and the Chiyo Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she had no idea how to calm this chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, she’d claimed to stand for the greater good, insisting that players should surrender, that they shouldn’t win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine felt a terrible tightness in her chest, rising and falling with rapid heaving breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sis!...” Chiyo Ji ran out, speaking in a worried tone. “What do we... do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even less of a clue in this kind of situation. The entire family’s burden basically rested on his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did Ancestor say?” Chiyo Eine took a deep breath and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor’s gone into seclusion... his health seems really bad...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine understood then—it was all on her now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really wished someone could give her a suggestion, but she knew full well—now wasn’t the time for weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, she looked up. She kept feeling like there was a masked figure in the shadows, watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shrink our industries! Do not oppose anyone in Tokyo. Ignore the economic losses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mobilize all of Chiyo Family’s media outlets—broadcast what’s happening in Tokyo to the whole world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Chiyo Ji was dumbfounded. Airing your dirty laundry? Should they really be the ones to do that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do as I say!” Chiyo Eine’s voice left no room for argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And apply for international aid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Chiyo Eine let out a long sigh and began coughing violently again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her actions had essentially completed the final piece of “Sin’s” plan—spreading Tokyo’s downfall across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, this sacrifice would’ve been meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sis, is this really going to work? Won’t the government deny it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Ji still wanted to say more, but Chiyo Eine suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed, her whole body weakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vision blurred. She felt like people were gathering around her, their voices sounding distant and fuzzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She desperately wanted to pass out, but of course, no one would let her. They helped her up instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out a long sigh, she finally understood why “Sin” had dared to so boldly claim himself the winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Tokyo as a sacrifice, he had even calculated that after taking over, she wouldn’t hide the news but announce it to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had predicted it all—used everyone, then walked away with all the gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She... was just like Sun used to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, there was some takeaway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When investigating Huaguo’s intel and infiltration, look into aristocratic families or hidden experts from official backgrounds to track ‘Sin.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he could plan all this, it means he knows something about the essence and secrets of the Game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, he can’t be an ordinary person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chiyo Family members all nodded, listening closely to Chiyo Eine’s instructions and following them to the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chiyo Family had seen the future clearly—this world’s future power would absolutely be rooted in the Game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Chiyo Eine, despite her youth, was already treated as the acting head of the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, the Ancestor said...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Game is going to do something, it’ll likely happen within two days of its end...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine nodded to show she understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chiyo Family’s influence was still top-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few hours, news of Tokyo’s fall spread worldwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the story hit peak global attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Game started, nothing in the real world had ever topped it—never claimed the number one spot in trending topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No modern city, with established rules and deeply ingrained civilization, had ever regressed overnight into complete anarchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tokyo’s current state was like a massive bomb dropped into global public discourse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The public’s obsession with the Game felt like it was doused with cold water—cooled instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Organizations across the world, both in the light and in the shadows, had never expected something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as time passed, the news reached the Elders’ Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharply dressed man burst in, clutching the latest compiled report, and nearly everyone stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could something like this happen?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tokyo, of all places! That city specifically!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no way it’s just coincidence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If changes to the Game depend on real-world reactions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first elder to catch on shuddered all over and snapped at someone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s supposed to be a deadline for Game changes—it should be about now. Bring up your panel and check!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person blinked, then did as told—pressing his finger to his brow. A black screen shot out from his eye socket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his Game Panel, something that only existed deep within consciousness—yet he managed to pull it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like perfect timing, a new notification appeared instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Maintenance Complete. Next Game Start Time: 23:59:56!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else happened—just a restored start time countdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They actually...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders murmured in shocked voices, one turning to the messenger at the door:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, check with the troops!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the number of new Chosen increased significantly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Huaguo’s secret forces, an entire division was set aside as observation subjects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faith and loyalty metrics could be used to analyze if there were any changes in the Game, based on how many among them were chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messenger knew how urgent this was—he sprinted off and returned within ten minutes, drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No obvious changes... In fact... none of them were newly Chosen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders: ……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell across the entire room, so still you could hear a pin drop in the Elder Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the air seemed frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He really pulled it off...” one elder finally murmured in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guy’s got some guts...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even they were still trying to digest their own shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh.” One elder gave a soft laugh, raising his eyes to the news screen showing Tokyo in flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah... ruthless enough, too!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1064,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","a71d25e244909ccac8d33a621a71f502aeeb873e44610762d525eec1c63f48b7","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-219","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-217",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
