Am I really like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong spoke with a smile throughout, and her words didn't carry the same utter disrespect and mockery towards gods that Lu Ce's did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, her words showed an abnormal level of respect for Pleasure, and she even kept praising him, talking about his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To someone who didn't know better, they'd think she was a believer of Pleasure, here to curry favor with the god...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, Pleasure found listening to his own praise more unbearable than hearing insults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands were now pressing down on the table so hard the gambling table creaked under the pressure, feeling like it might collapse at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, even though he had won the gamble and was being lavishly praised by his opponent, he felt exceptionally uncomfortable, unable to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arbitrator in the distance also wiped a cold sweat. The chip hourglasses in this game had special restrictions placed on them; players participating in the gamble couldn't crush them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this table seemed different. If the table collapsed, it would look pretty bad...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what does it mean to flip the table at a divine gambling match?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, he was also using his divine sense to secretly observe the eloquent Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy... was she always like this? I really haven't observed enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart is truly black...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying Pleasure isn't as crazy as he appears on the surface, saying he's actually quite rigorous, has substance, and isn't at all like \"Sin\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's not praising someone; that's aiming straight for Pleasure's weak spot and mocking it wildly, even worse than cursing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's equivalent to denying the divine essence of Pleasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Blank's current demeanor didn't really seem like she was cursing, which made the scene exceptionally ironic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pleasure gnashed his teeth fiercely, looking at Xie Antong as he spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Saying I'm different from \"Sin\"... are you trying to say I'm not pleasurable enough...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong's eyes and brows lowered slightly as she calmly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this topic makes you uncomfortable, then just pretend I never said it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That felt like an even dirtier insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pleasure slammed his hand on the table, stirring up a surge of divine light. It was only due to the Arbitrator's intervention that the table didn't collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression returned to a smile, though this smile now carried a hint of killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Little girl, I always thought before that you were quite fun, something to amuse myself with.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[But this time, you've really managed to anger me a bit... Since you've lost, it'd be better if you kept your mouth shut!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Otherwise, why don't you look at your chip count and then look over there?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xie Antong had lost four chips. She lost two chips earlier due to a special event penalty, another one rapidly drained away for unknown reasons, and now there was still one draining...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on Pleasure's side, 28 hourglasses were perfectly intact, sitting there without any loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the black box beside her with the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but twitch. After losing just now, Lu Ce was undergoing a drastic transformation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, she didn't even need Pleasure to specifically tell her to look. The gasps of the spectators nearby had already told her everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consuming chips resulted in being burned by flames. How could there be no consequences when losing chips...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the black box, Lu Ce's body was twisting once again. Black energy transformed into sharp thorns, piercing through his body, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked as if ten thousand long needles had been driven into his body, with black thorns even piercing between the gaps of his fingernails! The sight alone conveyed immense suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things seemed to pierce through a person's soul, impossible to remove, bringing despair and pain every single moment, gnawing away at the victim's spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Ce didn't feel much. He was just a bit surprised, or rather, pleasantly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Chosen of Agony, Agony Value +17!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Chosen of Agony...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventeen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since acquiring this special God's Chosen ability, Lu Ce had never received a single bonus of this magnitude!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the punishment from this divine gamble was actually pretty good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this bizarre pain was continuous, constantly increasing the Agony Value!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce strongly suspected what the game's punishment mechanism was thinking. Was the Arbitrator actually helping him? He didn't seem like such a reliable guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right, it was mentioned before that the game was supposed to bring feelings of pain and fear. That should be Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Death helping me? If that's the meaning, it really keeps adding up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the drastic change happening to Lu Ce, Death also smiled, looking up as he spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It seems the result of the first round is out. I suppose you understand who won and who lost.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It seems your teammate has failed to live up to your expectations.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that no one else can hear, I need to ask you a serious question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Huh? What?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, did you have something going on with Agony back in the day? Are you also one of my brothers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of nonsense is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce's words completely baffled Death, instantly leaving him feeling bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jump in topic was a bit too much for this \"old gentleman\" to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Agony?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. If you won't admit it, forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce leaned back, enjoying the sensation of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, I kind of hope she loses a few more times too. But unfortunately, it seems the chips are limited; she can only win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that he was still so stubbornly deluded, Death decided not to say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Xie Antong didn't look towards Lu Ce's direction again. She knew that this level of torment was probably something only Lu Ce in the world could withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now wasn't the time for heartache or apologies. What she could do was focus on her own gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment, the leftmost hourglass had completely drained. With a crack, it shattered directly, making everyone's hearts tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh? Another one shattered. I hope you see your chip count clearly and understand how close you are to failure.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pleasure glanced over, sneering as he spoke to Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Next is your turn. You place your bet first.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Let me give you a friendly reminder...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This game isn't really divided into five rounds. For you, this round is already your... life-or-death round!]\u003C\u002Fp>",1142,"2026-06-02T09:03:46.946Z",1,"novelbin.me","c87c15fcfbe595f7e35fd0e2e4ada85ae17ab2a27f73904a20f9d183f5b15d82","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-816","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-814",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
