The rest depended entirely on Perfect Life's choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her abilities were limited, and this was the best plan she could devise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game itself was openly cheating. When the rules were explained, it was stated that each \"player\" would have their own room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't have a room itself—only by actively choosing opponents could it engage. No matter how valiant Perfect Life and the others were, it was meaningless if they couldn't find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players weren't even qualified to discuss whether they could be its match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Competing against the referee in the same game meant enduring such unfairness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To face it in battle, they could only wait for it to come to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chance to truly sit across the board from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that wasn't even considering whether they could be its match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she believed that man would still win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect Life's expression darkened. He didn't speak or refute anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, judging by his actions, he grew increasingly impatient. His movements became wilder, more forceful, completely unlike before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Xie Antong truly thought, he didn't know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To outsiders, she seemed entirely detached, as if her goal had been accomplished the moment Perfect Life arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Perfect Life lost, the game would face \"Sin\"—a case of driving away a wolf by inviting a tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Perfect Life insisted on winning, the game would triumph, cutting off \"Sin's\" score and possibly ending his reign as the strongest player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Blank was now hostile to \"Sin.\" This was entirely a scheme targeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Perfect Life was so conflicted. No matter what he did now, he was being used, with no personal grudge against Blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he defeat \"Sin\" this way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he insisted on winning, would it end without even seeing the game itself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Become the strongest player the game favored?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the current one, who was too unruly and always opposed the game, while he was more obedient?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly choose that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it seemed he truly had to lose here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this option grew clearer, Perfect Life nearly laughed in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So 'voluntary crushing defeat' meant this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression grew uglier, and he vented his fury in frenzied clashes with The Creator, his movements growing increasingly erratic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps I have another choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I could kill you here. Then, even if it comes to this room, it won't gain any points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong shook her head. This was just anger talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she died, the game naturally wouldn't come to this room. At most, it would take longer to find Chiyo Eine and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, this choice was no different from winning for Perfect Life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since everyone present already knew this, Xie Antong didn't elaborate, only replying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why don't you do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several more violent exchanges, Perfect Life suddenly took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he raised his arm with all his strength, hurling his Halberd like a javelin—a rainbow piercing the sun—straight at Xie Antong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Halberd tore through the air with a shrill whistle, ripping through space toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air behind it condensed and exploded, the speed of the strike even creating visible Mach rings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong's lenses instantly blurred as kinetic equations deconstructed everything before her, slowing the Halberd's approach to a crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even slowed, its speed was terrifying. With her current physical limits, her reflexes only allowed one move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Dodge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her head tilted slightly left, the Halberd grazed past her helmet with a thunderous roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The All-Seeing Eye helmet's side was instantly scratched, severed strands of hair floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death had brushed past her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Halberd struck the ground behind her with a deafening explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, Perfect Life's stance collapsed, his defenses wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spatial freeze, his defensive vortex, his Yin-Yang Hands—all failed at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, his previously impenetrable guard had now created its own breach!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even The Creator was surprised by his decisiveness, but in the heat of battle, there was no time to pull back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another explosion echoed, nearly simultaneous with the Halberd's impact, as Perfect Life's chest seemed to take a cannon shot. He flew back like a broken kite, crashing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was over. Perfect Life—defeated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong's forehead was damp with sweat. That strike had been dangerously close...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough!\" Perfect Life spat a mist of blood, his face grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hate being used.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to explain. If you hadn't dodged that strike, you'd be dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong looked up, ignoring his words, and repeated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, all that remained was to wait for the game!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in another room, Juege was facing his own challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, he was struggling to keep his composure—he had encountered an unexpectedly \"strong\" opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>",843,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.234Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c1c7d9d1669db288b66c1fe25f3b90271c7289dd299e936e7211d0af44286ba","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-399","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-397",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
