What, now you think it's not bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, you were the one saying his intentions weren’t right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph.\" The man grunted in irritation. \"A knife is always a knife. Whether it kills or protects depends on how it's used.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, I think with his personality, the place wouldn’t have made a difference. But still, this time... he really nailed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thinking back now, I get the feeling... it was when he kept using his powers nonstop to drive people mad, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone immediately spoke up to refute:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he dared to say those things, it sure as hell wasn’t a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The question is, when did he come up with the idea? He really doesn’t seem like someone new to the Game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if he were around before... that doesn’t seem likely either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded in silence. Then, the one who looked to be the most respected among them opened his mouth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Decisive. Ruthless. Obsessive and insane about power. He already has what it takes to be a top-tier powerhouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really hope he’d join us—become one of us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But someone like that... in my opinion, we shouldn’t try to recruit him. We shouldn’t waste resources looking for him. And we definitely shouldn’t interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their heads, looking at him in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The highest-ranking elder continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because we are the failures. We’ve failed before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the lessons of failures... usually don’t mean much. Not repeating a failure doesn’t mean you’ll succeed either. Who even knows why we failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he has that kind of mindset and power, then let him walk his path. We’ll walk ours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether he succeeds or not, at least... in him, I see the potential for a 'variable.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned. They’d never seen such high praise come from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the gruff elder looked a bit shocked, and finally said hesitantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the guy clearly has a pretty extreme personality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If no one guides him, with his power and character, he could just as easily bring disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's going to guide him? You?!\" The most respected elder’s voice suddenly turned furious, even a little deranged, like he was about to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the elders took a step back, watching the center warily as if something terrifying had just appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But quickly, the elder calmed down again. Breathing heavily, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you even mean by guidance? In this world now, who knows what’s right and what’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the standard? Even if one day he becomes a mass murderer, can you really say he’s wrong? What standard?! The consensus of human society over thousands of years has long stopped applying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone should... just find their own possible way forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished, silence fell over the Elder Council, and the discussion came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me...\" the messenger said cautiously, \"So, are we still going ahead with the public announcement of the organization?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Proceed as planned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the globe, few people knew that Huaguo had such a secret organization, or that the Game and the world had once shared hidden ties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, everyone repeatedly watched \"Sin’s\" feat in the Tokyo Battle Royale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all understood—this was a terrifying feat of turning the tide against all odds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this man’s decisiveness and ruthlessness sent chills down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the moment “Sin” entered the Game, he had never actively attacked civilians. He looked like a good guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Sun had gone on a chaotic rampage—destroying facilities, roads, and even accidentally killing some ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those in power across the world could tell—within the Game, the most ruthless player, without question, was “Sin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold-bloodedness and viciousness were terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy... he's something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huaguo has produced another incredible figure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One brutal bastard. This guy alone is already a threat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty bold, huh? Looks like he’s throwing down with the Game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who could understand the deeper implications were all discussing this man—“Sin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for ordinary people, they didn’t think much of it. To them, it was just a Game bug, and the next start time announcement got delayed by two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lu Ce himself didn’t pay much attention—he just glanced at the Tokyo news and felt his goal was more or less achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough. After all, he was already back at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At school, classes had resumed after a long break—but not regular lessons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was a special announcement session. Public institutions were rolling out a major news bulletin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Huaguo’s first publicly recognized player organization: Dragon Division!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Division’s official name was something like “Special Bureau” or whatever—it was the same organization as Show-Off Guy’s team, which Lu Ce had seen on his business card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know why the name had changed to Dragon Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was just to sound cooler or more edgy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Division would handle all domestic affairs related to the Chosen’s Paradise Game, and they laid out a set of loose regulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chosen Players could voluntarily register. If they did, they could help each other out and access in-game info and strategy guides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you didn’t want to register, no one would force you—but committing crimes in the real world as a player would bring down the full force of the state, with severe punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The public could form their own groups too, but they had to register. Unregistered groups would be considered illegal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, a whole set of related rules was being rolled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce turned to glance back and saw Xie Antong sitting dazedly on her seat, eyes unfocused, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept thinking about one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something \"Sin\" had said—not the line that caught the attention of world leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the line he said to her during Overload—one where both the voice and tone were drastically different from “Sin’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like... he had become a different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So strange...\u003C\u002Fp>",1004,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","a7f8d819aa41a43cd7094e4688480b0811d7cbff2fbad123da23df6523c410e5","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-220","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-218",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
