Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Lust, Who’s Never Panicked—A Black Swan Event
Unaffected by any of the current circumstances, Xie Antong acted as if the foolish thing Number Seven had just done never happened and continued with her own tasks.
Even after several rounds of brain enhancement, various potions, and divine power boosts, she still knew that her current mental capacity was, at best, a drop in the ocean compared to the universe.
She didn't hope to control or predict the world right now.
In fact, if all the world's parameters were truly given to her right now, her only outcome would be her brain exploding.
There was no other possibility. The higher her level, the more she understood the terror of "information."
Therefore, she didn't pursue any certainty, only probability. She just needed a high probability!
Thus, she had already factored all potential teammate problems into her probability calculations.
She only needed to do her utmost!
"Number Two, fire now, coordinates (10, 12)!"
"Number Two, fire when the coordinates appear before your eyes, coordinates (63, 08)!"
"..."
One instruction after another was issued in an orderly manner, like a precise instrument.
Moreover, these successive, even simultaneous commands were only for her own processing. The others here could only hear the commands relevant to themselves!
This way, as long as she herself didn't panic, this situation wouldn't fall into chaos.
For a time, these dozen or so remotely controlled Apostles became the most disciplined soldiers in the world. This ragtag group who didn't know each other at all was forcibly coordinated into seamless cooperation through remote control.
It was as if she were playing chess, and this sky was her chessboard!
Situations as perfect as before didn't appear for a while. Many Apostles were actually puzzled, wondering why they were always being told to shoot at empty air?
Even if they suspected Blank's judgment might be flawed, because it had been emphasized earlier, everyone was much more obedient this time, dutifully acting as their assigned tools.
But as time passed, the shock in the Apostles' hearts grew exponentially!
Those fired laser beams, most of the time, would have hit "Sin" if fired just one second earlier or later!
If fired simultaneously, although many positions would inevitably miss, the Apostles increasingly realized that those missed shots were clearly converging!
They were converging all possible positions to seal the opponent's movements.
Within mere dozens of seconds, the Apostles instantly understood—Blank was actually predicting the future!
This instant, scalp-tingling awe conquered them completely, leading to immediate obedience and making Xie Antong's attacks flow even more smoothly.
Zhong Li Rui was one of these people, and the more she fought, the more astonished she became.
Before contact, it was like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the moon. After truly making contact, she increasingly felt like a mayfly glimpsing the vast sky.
Jealousy and intense desire surged together in her heart, her ambitious eyes fixed dead on "Sin" battling Jiang Yuan high above.
Yet she didn't know she had long been Xie Antong's key observation target. Every expression on her face was completely exposed, betraying her inner thoughts.
Lust must have left some contingency plan on her!
But now wasn't the time to ponder these questions.
In the sky, the battle had reached a white-hot intensity, though not with Jiang Yuan, but between Lu Ce and the "Lust" within him.
Before entering, this clone of Lust had never imagined this guy's spirit would be so terrifying.
He now even felt the risk of being directly assimilated and devoured! A desire to retreat began to sprout.
But if he retreated now, not only would his previous efforts be wasted, but he would also lose massive amounts of energy.
These people below are just shooting lasers... what use is that?!
He desperately wanted to shout: Where's the Stimulation?!
He had specifically researched that woman's ability. This time, she was probably also aiming to be chosen by the Gods, wholeheartedly opposing "Sin."
But where is your Stimulation?
Could it be that the person I selected failed to deliver the message?!
Helpless, he could only resort to verbal attacks, speaking through gritted teeth in Lu Ce's mind:
"It seems you're quite unpopular here."
"Should you be careful? Everyone is attacking you. Could this be considered... getting what you asked for?"
"Everyone?" Lust sneered coldly. "Heh heh heh..."
He had noticed earlier that the attacks from below had become very rhythmic, extremely eerie, as if stepping on the points of his movements.
But it didn't matter. Actually, it was good.
"Why have you suddenly become so talkative!"
One hand supporting his chin, Lust forcefully tilted his head back, as if trying to snap his own neck off.
The effects of emotional disturbance were maximized on him, clashing against the influence of Lust in his spirit.
His hand movements never stopped, practically dragging Jiang Yuan into the fight. In truth, Jiang Yuan wasn't very keen on fighting him anymore.
But he needed this violence to remind himself, to keep himself "clear-headed."
Although to many, he already seemed mad.
Actually, if he were willing to switch roles right now, directly becoming the Overload version of Jealousy, this clone of Lust would die here instantly!
But he didn't do that. A rare opportunity for Overload...
"I told you..."
"Fulfill your duty as toys. To be honest, I'm somewhat satisfied with you, cackle cackle~."
Even when seemingly pushed to this point, Lust's voice still carried that aura of having everything under control, without the slightest hint of panic.
Lust couldn't understand what he had to be so arrogant about at a time like this.
And in the very next second, as their energies clashed with Jiang Yuan's once more and the two separated momentarily, he was forcefully struck by a laser beam shot from below!
After fighting for so long, finally a second person scored a hit!
The Apostle who fired the laser wore an expression of excitement and anticipation, clenching his fist in anticipation. Yet the emotionally frenzied Lust didn't even glance at him.
Instead, his head shifted slightly, his gaze precisely locking onto Xie Antong from among the crowd below!
Their eyes met, as if sparks flew.
The next second, that Apostle was enveloped in pink bubbles and eliminated, ascending into the sky!
"It's fine! It was meaningful! Pleasure will see his contribution!"
Xie Antong roared excitedly the first moment, stabilizing these trial-and-error chess pieces for her. At least one identity option had been eliminated.
Her face had begun to pale slightly. Just as she planned to continue, a black swan event occurred.
A laser beam shot skyward, striking "Sin" who was currently in the air, neither dodging nor evading!
But this laser wasn't fired under Xie Antong's command. It was a "wild" player's doing.
