He was practically in his face insulting him a moment ago!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[: And they still chose him? Let him be their spokesperson? Is this so-called Lust actually a masochist?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[: After fighting so hard and failing to kill him, it ends with selecting \"Sin\" at light speed?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[: He refused the game twice, fought back multiple times, even openly insulted him just now, and the game still chooses to cozy up? This system is a joke.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[: Is this how your goddess behaves in front of the one she likes?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watching Lu Ce’s game livestream was spamming the chat wildly. The scene before them offered too many things to roast, and a lot of viewers were borderline triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No test, no selection process, they just forced it on him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this? Is this supposed to be a good thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his own body was being enveloped by that glow, gradually repairing itself. His carbonized flesh sloughed off, revealing pink, living tissue beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a generous bonus dropped specifically for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong had no answer. She couldn’t comprehend how Pleasure operated with zero logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was humiliating, beyond awkward. Actions like this could even cheapen the game’s reputation in people’s minds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Lu Ce such a prized catch in their eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As that thought occurred to Xie Antong, a startling idea bubbled up in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Betting on both sides?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In times of war, great families would sometimes support opposing forces simultaneously to ensure their survival regardless of the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were Gods! How could they do that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong smiled wryly, feeling the absurdity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another system announcement sounded from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In this game, the God of Pleasure’s power has chosen a player worthy of its strength.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Player \"Blank\" receives the God of Pleasure’s divine power inheritance, as its spokesperson!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong froze. Even something for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True—at the start of this game there had been a line about Pleasure being involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could think further, a shaft of targeted light descended from the courtyard’s open roof, crashing into Xie Antong in a way that could not be resisted or dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She staggered. She didn’t have Lust’s overwhelming power, and her face changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The godly force washed over her body and mind. With the last of her rationality, she forced a shot of sedative into herself to maintain clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and resembled a cultivator meditating to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the last surviving players in the two games had each become a \"God’s Chosen,\" beginning to assimilate the incomprehensible \"proxy\" energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Jiang Yuan remained, pressed against the wall—small, pitiful, and helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Game, and the Gods, would never pick him as a spokesperson. He was a loser—by theory he should be considered dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did these two suddenly carry an aura of “enemies”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, this would be the perfect chance to act, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could he make a move right now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you don’t understand a lot. Get used to it.” The Black Knight’s voice came, hopping onto his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just watch obediently. Act as a protector here. When the two of them wake up, you can go ask whatever you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the infinite void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no notion of being or non-being here, only an unclaimed wasteland where time and space had yet to be formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a ripple of energy disturbed the balance. Chaos fell, and the concept of \"space\" was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A patch of void opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the space tore, and a figure stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, such trouble. What should I name this place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s just call it the Void Realm from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it spoke, it sounded as if it were law of the universe—defining time, space, concepts, and all meanings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Ce were here, he would recognize this being at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The Arbitrator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That special existence representing the Game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right, everyone, I think it’s necessary to hold a meeting. Let’s call it the First Assembly of the Gods. How about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether you are sleeping, half-dead, borrowing a corpse, or insane with unstable consciousness...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still hope you all can attend, at least try to show up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arbitrator spoke to the empty void for a long time and received no response, seemingly talking to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers, producing a crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a neutral expression, the Arbitrator addressed the empty space:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, this meeting is now officially in session. Thank you for participating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A meeting of gods didn’t require anything elaborate. Wherever “space” existed by definition, if they wished to hear, they could hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason the Arbitrator created this private space was to avoid being overheard by certain other parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This meeting’s topic is simple. It revolves around a certain individual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, you probably know whom I mean—the player called ‘Sin’ in World 1073.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the Arbitrator finished speaking than the space trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of golden radiance flared in the void, followed by an angry, domineering voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! A lowly mortal and you drag us here for him!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah~ War has arrived. If you truly don’t care, why bother to come yourself... haha, don’t be angry, I’m just joking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arbitrator chuckled a little, calming War down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although his current power hasn’t reached his essence, what he has displayed so far does deserve attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First on the agenda... Is Pleasure present? Do you have any explanation for your earlier behavior?”\u003C\u002Fp>",929,"2026-06-02T09:03:44.044Z",1,"novelbin.me","d72dba509a2cada39bb5f0746bdd0d3d1915b14cc1c5d21f0cea7a1d09bfc469","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-655","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-560",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
