Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Gonna Eat Me? I’m Looking Forward to It
It really wasn't that she didn't want to be terrified.
Although she had always been confident in Lu Ce, just watching from a distance and seeing his current state in person were completely different levels.
Gluttony's aura had already made her somewhat hesitant to connect the person before her eyes with Lu Ce.
Would there really be no problem with eating like this?
The Little Devil's voice faded away, quickly transforming into a stream of energy that entered Gluttony's stomach.
His gaseous form was actually somewhat countered; with his original strength, his downfall shouldn't have been so miserable.
But the reality was that he had been instantly defeated, unable to deploy any of his abilities before ending up in the stomach.
This thing was probably the most troublesome entity Lu Ce had swallowed since entering this game.
Unstable energy condensed into chaotic currents, rampaging wildly through his body, completely unable to stabilize.
That completely overflowing energy made her feel somewhat breathless even at this distance.
This had completely surpassed any mask overload form she had ever witnessed before.
Even Wrath back on that island hadn't given her this kind of feeling.
However, the moment she realized this, she didn't marvel at Lu Ce's current strength, but instantly recognized something was wrong.
—He had eaten too much.
If this thing had an upper limit, that would be manageable, but if there was no limit, that would be the real major trouble!
After experiencing fusion with Pleasure, she now understood very well what price had to be paid when merging with powerful forces.
That feeling of being constantly at risk of being swallowed by the primitive desires within one's heart, potentially "losing control and going berserk"—she had experienced it too.
She might even be the only person in this world besides Lu Ce who had experienced it.
Could he really still hold on if he kept eating?
They didn't even know which Divine Messenger they were facing yet, nor what the final method to deal with him would be!
Xie Antong really wanted to ask if he was still conscious right now, but with so many people watching...
She couldn't expose anything!
On her side... that Big-Bearded Divine Messenger should still be watching, right.
Damn it, even now, she still hadn't figured out what possible effects those green lights might have on that guy.
It was hard to say which god's messenger the other party served; this kind of hell punishment seemed like it could be attributed to any god's domain and still make sense.
So now...
Her thoughts spun rapidly as she pondered how to effectively communicate with the Lu Ce before her and confirm whether he still retained some rationality.
If he really had none... she would need to quickly merge with Pleasure right now.
Just as she was thinking, suddenly, her left palm felt cold.
She was shackled in the air in an unnatural joint position, barely able to move at all—even rotating her wrist was painful.
But right in the center of her palm, a red button had appeared!
Xie Antong: ?
She almost laughed in exasperation, thinking to herself that this was really not even pretending anymore.
Directly placing a red button in her palm, right when Gluttony was staring at her threateningly.
And with her being hostile to "Sin," this was exactly when she needed to escape quickly.
The gray button didn't even appear in her field of vision, which was really somewhat laughable.
But, fine then!
Perfect timing to test it out.
She raised her head, met the gaze of Gluttony's face before her, and sneered coldly.
She shook her hand slightly, worried that Lu Ce's current intelligence might be insufficient to notice it, so she had to make it obvious.
"Do I need to thank you for helping me deal with the trouble in my room?"
"But now, you're useless to me. Goodbye!..."
As she spoke, she very theatrically displayed the red button in her hand, then pressed it down forcefully!
Bang!
With a loud noise, Lu Ce moved at a speed no one could follow, grabbing her hand instantly.
His powerful hand clamped down tightly on her wrist, pressing it firmly against the restraint device behind her arm.
Xie Antong instantly gritted her teeth, enduring the intense pain in her arm without letting out a cry.
As if unwilling to show weakness before her enemy.
She could clearly feel that the hand gripping hers was exceptionally scorching hot.
That wasn't from anything else—purely the result of his body temperature rising from absorbing too much energy.
And her tightly gripped hand, pressed against the cold restraint device, created an extremely unusual sensation.
The creaking sounds coming from her arm made her unable to even feel the existence of her hand; muscles and tendons were clamped so tightly she couldn't move at all.
She couldn't complete the pressing motion.
Although she was in great pain, inwardly, she felt relieved.
—Thank goodness, Lu Ce hadn't completely lost control.
Even if the button mechanism had been shaped into his instincts, the fact that her arm wasn't broken yet proved he was holding back.
She knew clearly that with Lu Ce's current strength, the fact that he hadn't directly crushed her arm showed exceptional care.
He still remembered her...
But the audience didn't understand this, and they were going crazy right now.
[What's going on? How did Blank become so weak? Isn't she already an Ascendant?]
[That kind of power clearly isn't sustainable. Blank can't use it casually either.]
[Huh? Then what should we do? Is the couple I ship really so star-crossed? They won't get eaten, will they? That would be too perverted. I can't watch this anymore.]
[Getting eaten... although I've always wanted Sin to "eat" Blank, not in this literal sense!]
Xie Antong had secretly glanced at her game screen earlier, wondering if her acting was a bit over the top.
Seeing people's comments, she could only feel speechless.
But that was fine too...
"Heh..."
Gluttony kept his hand tightly clamped on hers, applying slight pressure as his face gradually approached, staring at Xie Antong before him.
The restraint device originally meant for execution still held her firmly, but the Little Devil responsible for tongue-ripping had now become the King of Hell.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure bearing down on her, Xie Antong didn't show any fear and spoke:
"What, do you still recognize who I am?"
"It seems that your already underdeveloped brain has been eaten by yourself too."
Lu Ce didn't respond to her words, only his heavy breathing washing over her.
"What? Going to eat me? I'm actually quite looking forward to it."
A shadow flashed through Xie Antong's eyes.
"If you keep feeding like this, I'm afraid you'll explode yourself."
"Let me witness the world's strongest person dying from eating himself?"
