if among the entire \"god\" faction, only Agony had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this Chosen of Agony designation on him definitely had major problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, his overwhelming appetite was about to suppress all his rationality, and he could even feel the mask on his face beginning to stir abnormally again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this Gluttony possibly have a third phase?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no time for excessive hesitation, Lu Ce could only make an instant decision - he himself also needed a stronger physique to withstand the Gluttony mask!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, this was choosing between two poisons, but from another perspective, it could also be considered risk hedging!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this mask's limits were unknown, and the Chosen of Agony's future possibilities were also unknown, then let these two unknown risks hedge against each other!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long been in the abyss - regretting now was already far too late!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the stat interface appeared in his mind, that physique that had already unlocked the second-level Gene Lock once again surfaced in his game interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind felt slightly dazed - this game-like stat interface seemed like something he hadn't seen for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Remaining Agony Value: 163!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Agony Value he had accumulated across several games by avoiding using it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual mental glance, he still allocated most of it to strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Speed: 60.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Spirit: 17.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the infusion of forty strength points, his muscle fibers seemed to emit their own mournful cries, like internal combustion engines roaring within every cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this level, every single point of strength improvement represented massive enhancement for players who didn't practice physical cultivation techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone him directly pouring this level of strength into himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adjusting coordination to match his speed level, notably, he also upgraded his \"Fortune\" by one level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, accomplishing certain things still depended on luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortune differed from other stats - not only was the exchange ratio more expensive, but the maximum that could be exchanged was exactly 20!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this directly surging power poured down, he felt his heart clench tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet simultaneously, his consciousness seemed to become slightly clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— A stronger body could already bear greater Gluttony power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a tremendous roar, a stone pillar slammed heavily onto Lu Ce's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he wasn't directly smashed into the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands gripped the ground tightly in a push-up position, using his body to stubbornly withstand this thousand-pound blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands sank deeply into the ground, the extremely hard gravel crumbling like tofu under his grasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... does it feel lighter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gluttony's mouth emitted intermittent, sandpaper-like sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, cracking sounds came from the joints in his hands as he desperately pushed his entire body weight upward, his previously slightly bent arms now completely straightened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone pillar above emitted enormous cracking sounds, like mechanisms shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This garlic-pounding torture device, not yet due for retrieval, was lifted by Lu Ce, forcibly breaking its own internal structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands trembled, but in the eyes of the numerous players, this didn't seem weak at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those whose personal hells hadn't been selected and who still had some reaction ability watched with intense concentration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they didn't know what had happened, this guy who had been directly smashed into the ground before seemed suddenly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly in the previous hell punishment, \"Sin\" had suffered the most severe injuries among everyone, seemingly unable to hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was already covered in bloodstains - blunt weapons causing bleeding indicated no ordinary injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now... was this a final rally or what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Bearded Divine Messenger, who understood the hell's mechanics, was utterly shocked, even forgetting to continue using his little tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had he just done?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the pillar's bottom structure been damaged already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Mortar and Pestle Hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a place where crushing serves as execution method! Everything here has the highest durability in hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there are no magical or psychological attacks - just pure smashing - everything should be utterly unbreakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... it got damaged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect Life's Mountain of Knives might be damaged, Volcano Hell's lava might be immune or even devoured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current shock was beyond words - it's important to know the game's intensity was initially set based on each player's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such damage was theoretically impossible in itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly are you... with Agony's aura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, but intelligence said you're not Agony's Divine Messenger...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His doubts found no outlet, but next came an even more shocking scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gluttony's most formidable aspect was still that enormous mouth - that was Gluttony's ultimate manifestation, otherwise wouldn't it be no different from Wrath?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pillar began rising...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his own powerful strength growth, Lu Ce didn't rush to chase the gray button this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, like an eel, he suddenly flipped over, facing the tungsten alloy pillar covered with tooth marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce directly took a bite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of shattering echoed from the biting point.\u003C\u002Fp>",888,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.234Z",1,"novelbin.me","a3d4a2ce323bcc1026417d735d7d90b8b320158376da2bb01cb87418af0b7134","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-499","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-497",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
