As the old bone said earlier, in Nazarick Great Tomb, even painless death is a luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, did you enjoy the special performance I prepared for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Gilkneferu’s grim expression and his tightly clenched fists, the Bone King on the throne even had the audacity to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【These damned monsters take pleasure in tormenting others’ lives!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he thought this in his heart, Gilkneferu dared not show any outward displeasure; instead, he forced a twisted smile: “Those who disturbed your peace and committed vile grave-robbing—this is truly what they deserve…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Gilkneferu’s voice trembled from extreme anger and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how furious he was, he had to suppress it now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he turned hostile here, it would be exactly what they wanted—he must endure humiliation and bear the burden!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What have you made of life? Taking pleasure in others’ deaths, building your own joy upon their suffering—is that truly so fulfilling for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Gilkneferu was still swallowing his pride, Lachesis could no longer bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1016,"2026-06-19T15:18:35.208Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","218edaab17ab89560b9935b3998af45cb5031a449fef12c7449cbef317c98851","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-556","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-554",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
