Combined with the Divine Messenger's self-selection option, mountain-like pressure was now gathering on Lu Ce's shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That obvious targeting—if it were anyone else in this world, they would have to reconsider multiple times, their hearts pounding with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only \"Sin\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the world's number one Pride would dare to proceed without hesitation at such a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, Lu Ce had already taken out his mask. Without even entering the game yet, he placed it on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven Deadly Sins Heart continuously transformed on his face, gradually beginning to... shift toward gold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Holy shit!

That's just asking for trouble!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Not necessarily, after all this time they mentioned strategy self-selection...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scrolling public bulletin board still had many people discussing this matter, talking about how they quickly rejected the invitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding \"Sin,\" the general public now had the attitude of Lord Ye's love of dragons—fine to watch from afar, but if actually playing together, few had that kind of courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were also some players who made mistakes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Damn it, I accidentally clicked agree just now.

Just letting you know, prepare yourself!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun wasn't hiding either. Having this opportunity to be in the same game as \"Sin,\" he naturally wouldn't let it pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially this kind of obviously special circumstance, a unique global opportunity—of course he still wanted to join the excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong, in her own room, looked at the screen before her, at that invitation letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, now there was no need for any coincidences or fate connections—she could choose whether she wanted to join or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she definitely wanted to join, looking at the brief four lines of text before her, she still felt this was very bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really... troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, if either Lu Ce or that Divine Messenger died, the game would end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the final survivors could all be considered perfect clearances! And they could choose their own strategies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the specific rules weren't explicitly stated, she instinctively could see the malice in these rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't this equivalent to making participating players choose sides and switch teams?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Lu Ce's current popularity, probably no one would specifically choose to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, this game's Divine Messenger was confident that people would stand on His side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, I hope you can... choose a stronger mask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong muttered to herself, selected the agree option on the screen before her, and entered the waiting state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said it before, I don't think I have a choice either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll walk this path with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In various corners of the world, most people who received invitation letters instantly refused, unwilling to wade into these troubled waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were also some people who, after hesitation and consideration, chose the agree option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Game matching successful!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, this message appeared, and that Lu Ce page that had appeared before players worldwide also disappeared at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please all players, make final game preparations.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The game is about to begin.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mask on Lu Ce's face was already prepared, his golden mask showing no ripple of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome to CHOSEN'S PARADISE!, Hell Mode (Human vs God Mode)—A Thought of Saint and Demon!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Game start!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar game voice sounded in Lu Ce's ears, followed by the familiar sensation of dizziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having experienced it too many times, Lu Ce didn't even feel particularly dizzy now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply waited calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body felt like it was traversing time and space, his soul experiencing vast changes, until he finally stood on solid ground again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes again, what met them was a golden halo of light. After reacting for a moment, he found himself within a light pillar about one meter in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light pillar was semi-transparent—he could see the situation outside, but couldn't make out details clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite him, another light pillar shot up into the sky, standing in distant opposition to his own, but the figure inside was unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounds of light bursting forth continuously rang out as pillar after pillar rose from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both sides, players kept entering, each figure enveloped within a light pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The line connecting the first two light pillars formed the diameter of a circle, and those light pillars formed a large circle along this diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick scan, including himself, there were sixteen pillars total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each pillar contained a human figure, clearly the players participating in this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone remained silent, unable to see each other, probably all counting the pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong happened to be among them. Seeing sixteen pillars total, her first thought was: Impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could so many people want to be in the same game as Lu Ce...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lu Ce, after roughly scanning once, paid no further attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly handled the mask selection question within the game interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he didn't plan to let the game randomly assign him one—he would choose himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Just Pride!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing more to say. Since he had already chosen not to retreat, he wouldn't retreat to the very end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pride was the best answer he could think of to give this game, to these gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome, all players.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This is the game arena for A Thought of Saint and Demon.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the pillar directly opposite Lu Ce came a female voice. Hearing it felt like a cold breeze brushing against one's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Oh, right, since we've reached this point, the two of us should show our faces.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, the light pillars for Him and Lu Ce instantly dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a tall, slender female with heavy smokey eye makeup, wearing a pitch-black long dress. Her exceptionally three-dimensional facial features carried a scornful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And opposite Him stood a figure holding a giant axe, his face resembling a statue, his golden countenance shining brilliantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Pride Returns to the Stage!\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-06-02T09:03:38.934Z",1,"novelbin.me","12a0026f62e62f139c5ce6751083a7ab79094eb84ebb9e49b484aff38667fba7","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-539","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-537",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
