Even his attacking movements slowed, causing him to fail to block the next strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black lightning bolt tore through space with a thunderous roar, striking the prison guard squarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like hot oil poured into cold water, the violent sound signaled the prison guard's defenses being truly breached. The Warden showed no mercy—this was a killing blow through and through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the prison guard hesitated. Or rather, out of lingering sentiment, he'd been holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warden's combat form and demeanor confirmed his authenticity, which was why the guard had been restraining his strength all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right eye instantly became obscured by blood, while a gory wound split open across half his body as the black lightning wreaked havoc within his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excruciating pain flooded his vision with bloodshot veins, eroding his rationality as he gradually entered full combat mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Warden's earlier words kept echoing in his mind, throwing his thoughts into chaos as if countless buried memories were stirring in the depths of his consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that voice... it felt vaguely familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our duty is to guard this prison. No major incidents can be tolerated. Maintain stability. Sustain the continuous feeding...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the biggest problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll deal with you first, then the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warden's eyes had lost their whites, becoming pitch-black voids as he stared fixedly at the prison guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His murmured words felt like unnecessary narration, as if explaining something to an unseen audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prison guard's lips trembled. There were questions he wanted to ask, but he clenched his jaw shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An instinctive feeling warned him—some things couldn't be spoken, only acted upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping blood from his face, he suddenly grinned savagely, tensing his muscles to stem the bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you're so eager to die, old man, I'll oblige you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he charged at the Warden with full force, completely disregarding the ongoing prison riot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two most powerful figures in the prison were now locked in mutual destruction, paying no heed to the chaos around them—leaving Know-it-All, who normally stayed farthest from prison affairs, to handle the suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, none of this escaped Xie Antong's All-Seeing Eye. Observing everything, her rapidly processing mind instinctively sensed something amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After contemplation, she reached an unbelievable conclusion. Pressing her earpiece with trembling fingers, she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey? Something's off.\" Watching the life-or-death struggle between the Warden and prison guard, she continued, \"The Warden... seems to be going easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" This assessment surprised even Lu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's like he's deliberately keeping the prison guard engaged, preventing him from disengaging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost as if making excuses—handling the guard means not having to deal with the rioting prisoners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce fell silent before responding with palpable malice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know... My earlier actions shouldn't have caused this much effect...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you could try helping. Whichever side gains upper hand, assist the other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surveying the battlefield, she noted the considerable damage escaping prisoners were causing without the Warden or guard present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black-clad figures had joined the fray, yet Xie Antong couldn't shake the feeling the advantage lay with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, no one could possibly escape through sheer riotous force—this was Hell Mode after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, it seemed genuinely possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry things up on your end,\" she urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we brute-force our way out, I might just steal your perfect clearance this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible,\" Lu Ce stated decisively. \"If that happens, this game will likely end with zero perfect clearances!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, with Xie Antong's direction, players' aggressive assault, and the Warden's apparent leniency, the situation appeared optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, though utterly baffled from start to finish, Know-it-All reluctantly joined the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blur of motion no one could trace, he materialized before a frenzied prisoner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prisoner, mentally affected by the Charge Horn, had bloodshot eyes. Though startled to face a top-tier opponent, he refused to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to escape? Seems you're short on tools.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seen prison movies? Let me gift you the ultimate tunneling implement~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a theatrical flourish, he conjured a spoon from thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With enough perseverance, you can dig through any prison!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prisoner roared, shoving Know-it-All with all his might—only to meet immovable resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pity. You lack the dedication.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing, Know-it-All plunged the spoon deep into the prisoner's eye socket. The man collapsed without uttering another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All strolled leisurely through the chaos, leaving fallen prisoners in his wake—each face embedded with bizarre objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A combat-specialized player clad in black armor charged him, only to have his defenses shattered instantly. He collapsed, clearly unable to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the three powerhouses operated at Lu Ce's level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While comparing bosses to players seemed unfair, considering how Lu Ce dominated regular players, Know-it-All remained an insurmountable peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong frowned. She knew Know-it-All had been \"Sin's\" most thoroughly deceived disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ought to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she stepped forward, she froze—her pupils contracting sharply as someone seized one of her All-Seeing Eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who then... popped it into his mouth! The disgusting act made her pupils tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, an aged voice reached her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell that underground boy to repeat what he just did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: !\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did he know \"Sin\" was underground?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am... the first to awaken!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",887,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","187e54481f58975d9ca04bf25b361e5aa9cbbabcf75dea1c3e64e00d971c242a","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-257","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-255",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
