Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Successful Execution! The First Death

The room where Lu Ce was located had already begun a new round of adjustments following the departure of the bearded Divine Messenger.

The floor and walls, previously damaged by constant pursuit and leverage, started repairing themselves.

Soon, all the uneven areas began to restore themselves, with the floor's curvature reorganizing into a new state, becoming very suitable for smashing things.

Above his head, those cylindrical pillars swayed as they began descending, emitting piercing friction sounds.

It appeared the punishment was about to begin once again.

Lu Ce's red face looked around, giving the impression he was observing, but in reality, he was simply looking for food.

Yet he found nothing—after the bearded man left, nothing else had been thrown down.

However, a screen appeared before him now, displaying the execution scene of another person.

Currently, two rooms were conducting executions simultaneously, so he could also see what was happening on the other side.

As if he had discovered something good.

The moment "Sin's" footage appeared, the other players in the game also perked up, since "Sin's" footage held considerable reference value.

So far, no one knew who the last convicted person was, but with all eighteen lights now lit, the intensity was certainly higher.

Under the gazes of everyone filled with some anticipation and scrutiny, Lu Ce walked up to that large screen and reached out to grab it.

His hand passed right through the middle of the screen, grasping nothing—it was merely a projection.

The red face momentarily froze, the ferocious features displaying confusion and contemplation.

To the other players watching him, they thought he had discovered something, watching with intense concentration.

But the next second, he simply opened his large mouth and bit forward, his movements slightly exaggerated, almost cartoonish.

The players: ...

So you were just wondering why you couldn't get this thing to eat?!

Tch, after not seeing you for a few minutes, your condition has worsened again.

In the room, "Sin" acted as if completely unaware anyone was watching him. After biting empty air, he actually started circling around the screen.

Continuously trying to find a way to actually eat this thing.

Meanwhile, the screen showed a "Cattle Pit Hell" room where the player being executed had already begun flipping and flying around.

Cattle Pit Hell—any living person who mistreated livestock would be thrown into Cattle Pit Hell after death. Thrown into the pit, several wild cattle charge, goring with horns, trampling with hooves...

Since this was dealing with top-tier players, the wild cattle here were also each like ferocious ghosts, charging wildly as if they were horned demons with terrifying power.

But the person they were dealing with now was a veteran player with formidable strength. Merely this couldn't kill him, so a stalemate ensued for the moment.

Seeing so many cattle in the opposite room, Gluttony immediately started drooling, virtually hugging the screen and beginning to gnaw on it.

Clearly also quite ill.

The next second, a massive pillar over three meters tall and thick as a water vat descended from above, smashing heavily onto his head!

Thud!

A dull sound echoed as Lu Ce was sent flipping vertically through the air, his head directly smashed into the ground by the enormous stone pillar.

[Chosen of Agony, Agony Value +1.]

The familiar voice sounded as the stone pillar rose again. Meanwhile, another stone pillar smashed down heavily.

Thud! Thud! Thud...

Dense, amplified sounds like pounding garlic multiplied ten thousand times, the heavy pillars crashing down one after another. Those heavy pillars began frantically pounding within this Mortar and Pestle Hell.

Lu Ce's body was relatively small within this large pit. Actually, he could still dodge blows of this magnitude.

But he didn't evade. After pulling his head out from the ground, he looked up at the ceiling as another stone pillar smashed down heavily.

He raised his hands upward, actually attempting to forcibly embrace this thing.

Boom!

This time, the sound was thunderous. His entire body was smashed into the ground, but as the stone pillar rose, his hands remained firmly gripping into it.

Amidst crashing and grinding sounds, large amounts of stone fragments were crushed to powder by his hands, breaking off from the pillar.

But the scratched sections reflected a distinct metallic color—it was tungsten steel compressed and enhanced to who knows how many times its original density!

Even with his strength, he couldn't damage this thing.

"Hmph."

Club Ace sneered in his own room, already deciding not to watch further, instead turning his gaze to another screen.

In his view, within this game, those who couldn't control themselves while seeking power were all dead men walking sooner or later.

Meanwhile, in the other room, that veteran player was still maintaining his bodily stability under the charges of dozens of demonic cattle.

He didn't seem injured.

And now, he too had reached that gray button and slapped it down.

Xu Long's previous actions had given everyone a hint: the red button was merely drinking poison to quench thirst. To truly break the situation, one could only try starting with the gray button first.

So while his condition was still good, this veteran player naturally decided to give it a try.

But soon, an accident occurred instantly.

[Special effect triggered! Immediate execution!]

Instantly, all the demonic cattle in Cattle Pit Hell received massive enhancements!

This wasn't linear growth at all, but instantaneous rocket-like improvement. If before, this veteran player could feel that a single bull wasn't his match—

only that he was suppressed by the game, plus there were many cattle—

Now, every single bull before him actually gave him a sense of pressure, even carrying an aura of death!

What?!

Before he could react, his body in mid-air was about to land when the cattle herd instantly charged.

Amidst the interweaving of figures, his form was instantly submerged, without even a scream being uttered.

The cattle herd rampaged wildly through the room, leaving afterimages, seeming to overlap together.

[Execution successful! 1/18!]
