Instantly, golden light shot out like twin lightning bolts, the momentary brilliance enough to stun anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every movement, the feeling of lightness was exceptionally pronounced, making him feel somewhat unadapted once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without allocating points, he could distinctly feel that he had grown significantly stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Status panel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his call, Lu Ce summoned his personal attribute panel to check his various stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since reaching the limit in strength last time, he hadn't even allocated points to other attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the game's voice suddenly sounded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Divine Might Baptism has concluded. Next is full attribute enhancement!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please prepare yourself, player!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it said to prepare, the enhancement began the moment the words finished. A powerful force instantly surged through his entire body, making Lu Ce feel like he had expanded somewhat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of power came quickly and left just as fast. The sensation of expansion soon disappeared, but Lu Ce could clearly feel balanced growth across all attributes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this wave of baptism, all his attributes had increased by ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even these points included Luck and Spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His panel values instantly leaped to a new level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was worth noting that Luck and Spirit, since he rarely used them and their point allocation was relatively expensive, had always been neglected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting such passive growth was quite surprising, especially with Luck - he had thought there should be some upper limit to this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All enhancements completed. Player may organize accordingly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reminder: Your side effects have not disappeared.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What side effects?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce was stunned. He didn't recall any mention of side effects from the Divine Might Baptism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Seven Deadly Sins Heart, Sloth. Side effects still present. Please quickly select items to bring out of the game.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce was instantly shocked. Even after such a massive reconstruction, with his body disassembled and baptized, the Sloth side effects were still there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was terrifying - the mask's priority level was actually this high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on instinct, he quickly equipped himself with the Black Knight and mask. His Dimensional Backpack had enough slots, so he wasn't too worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Game stay time has reached limit...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the game's voice gradually faded away, Lu Ce, completely unable to resist, fell into deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves crashed against the beach and rocks, throwing briny seawater toward a person on shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sounds in his ears gradually cleared, Lu Ce slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling somewhat weak all over, Lu Ce barely managed to push himself up from the ground into a sitting position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the endless ocean and the blazing sun overhead, he knew he had returned to the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a remote island somewhere in the Pacific. He didn't know where he was or what time it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long have I been asleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce examined his body, finding no obvious external injuries, and muttered to himself with lingering fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wearing his mask now, the advantage was no risk of exposure, but the disadvantage was potential death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After playing so many games, that previous period was probably the most dangerous time he'd experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had truly learned about the domineering nature of the Sloth mask - when it came to side effects, there was absolutely no escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black Knight, how do we get home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually tossed out a metal sphere. He had to bring this thing; otherwise, he'd be trapped on this island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How should I know?\" the Black Knight immediately began complaining upon appearance. \"But I roughly know the direction. Let's head back to the country first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce was too exhausted to argue, directly swinging onto the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Knight slightly altered its form to appear less conspicuous before speeding across the ocean surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Ce was wondering when he should jump off and swim to avoid attention, he suddenly noticed something strange about the seawater ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The color was wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if seawater of different densities had converged, forming some kind of pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, color changes of this degree wouldn't attract attention, but Lu Ce's current situation was special, his nerves already taut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seawater stratification caused by different densities formed an arrow pattern!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow pattern appeared briefly before quickly disappearing. Just as he doubted whether he'd seen correctly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered that not far ahead, the seawater churned and converged again, forming another arrow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing in a specific direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey boss, are you seeing this?\" the Black Knight instantly spoke up, sounding like it enjoyed stirring up trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think there's any possibility this is just nature's miraculous coincidence, not someone guiding you somewhere?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.234Z",1,"novelbin.me","36339778585651d5af90baa21c8ab7d37a254e28d9111340e4cea87626df6a45","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-417","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-415",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
