Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Leaving it to someone like that shows He didn’t take it seriously either
"Attack... who? Wait, you want me to go?"
Even if Zhong Li Rui's mind was still foggy, she was fully awake now, as if waking from a nightmare.
If there was a mirror, she might have precisely seen the twisted expression on her face.
She had always been a firm believer in the brainwashing, thinking that the Game's first-level gods were the truly correct path for this world. When Lust approached her, she felt she had gained divine favor.
Until now.
Until this moment, when she heard she was supposed to directly fight "Sin," she wavered, even starting to doubt whether the presence in her mind was real.
Was she being deceived? Or was this an illusion?
"You..."
Zhong Li Rui's voice was hesitant. In this short sentence, she didn't even use the respectful "you" anymore, which was quite interesting.
Just as Xie Antong had said, he had underestimated Lu Ce in every aspect—not just in strength, but also in the influence of the name "Sin."
He didn't understand that people's complaints, hatred, and even many viewing "Sin" as humanity's opposite were precisely because of fear!
Fear to the very marrow!
So now, Zhong Li Rui was quickly slipping from his control.
[Don't worry, I told you, this is indeed a test, but I will protect you and give you power.]
[You won't face any life-threatening danger; this is a rule within the Game's regulations.]
[But after using the Ability Card, you can briefly ignore the rules. You can attack Him!]
[If the opportunity is right, you might even... slay him!]
To stir Zhong Li Rui's greed and emotions, Lust deliberately used some extreme descriptions to stimulate her nerves.
But who would have thought that as soon as he said this, Zhong Li Rui jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, screaming sharply:
"What?"
"Do you know what you're saying? Slay who?!"
"Do you know who he is? Do you know who He is?!"
"Slay him? If it were that easy, why don't you do it yourself? Why haven't all those Divine Messengers managed to slay him!"
"Who are you?! You definitely aren't Lust! You're deceiving me! No, no!"
Zhong Li Rui's Spirit began to turn somewhat insane, seemingly starting to transform towards "Sin's" mental state, utterly outrageous.
Lust: ?
He was dumbfounded, left speechless by her words.
How was he being questioned now? And... how did even she dare to speak to him in this tone!
Being brutally humiliated by "Sin" and looked down upon and ignored by someone like Blank was one thing.
But even her?!
[I said I will give you power, power beyond your imagination!]
Lust began to patiently try to comfort her.
"I don't believe you!"
"Then give it to me now! I want to see it now!"
"It's over... it's over. Has Blank's potion worn off? Am I hallucinating!"
Zhong Li Rui shouted wildly, turning a matter of god-versus-human combat level into a chaotic mess in this empty street-side store.
It was like a petty vendor's quarrel, leaving Xie Antong, who had sent out several All-Seeing Eyes to monitor everything, utterly stunned.
Standing in the void high in the sky, she suddenly burst out laughing.
In this kind of situation, it seemed rather out of place, quickly attracting the attention of those around her.
"What are you laughing at?" Lust asked with interest.
"Nothing, I just remembered something happy," Xie Antong said.
"Hmph," Lust shrugged, turned his head to look at the ground, raised his hand, and shot a laser beam, hitting a [Narcissus] member below.
As if playing a shooting game there.
By now, the Red-Blue Lovers had basically been eliminated, all shot by Lust and then ascending to be eliminated from this Game.
Looking back now, the statement before the Game began about "giving all ordinary people a chance" seemed like an exceptionally bizarre irony.
"I don't care what other methods you have left; I suggest you think faster."
"I'm starting to get a bit bored with these remaining [Narcissus] members too."
Lust said indifferently, looking lazily at those people who had been conquered by his astonishing charm.
"So, I will eliminate one Narcissus member roughly every... minute."
"You will be the last one," he pointed at Xie Antong.
"If you still can't figure it out by then, my Game will be closing its doors to everyone~."
Hearing Lust's playful and captivating voice, looking at the somewhat breathtaking curve on his mask, Xie Antong couldn't help but say:
"Then you better look forward to it."
"That guy in your head who can't forget you has prepared two bottles of poison for you."
Lust thought, damn it, why did you just say that out loud!
And Lust's reaction was even more outrageous. He didn't show any interest, just said somewhat bored:
"Oh, then I hope they serve it up quickly for me to taste~."
......
Lust looked at his relaxed attitude and felt furious.
But now, time was running out. This was the first time humans had set a countdown for a god, truly turning the natural order upside down.
His true self was currently inside Lust's body; coming out without a vessel now would be quite dangerous. And this portion of power he had separated earlier was facing a pure pig teammate, Zhong Li Rui!
Suppressing the urge to curse in his heart, he had no choice but to temporarily "yield"!
[Open your mind! I'll give you power!]
The madness in Zhong Li Rui's eyes instantly calmed. A beautiful pink color rose from the depths of her pupils.
With her strength level, being semi-possessed like this was far too easy for Lust.
After experiencing the hellish difficulty with Lu Ce, he felt this was practically a treat.
"This is... this is?!"
Zhong Li Rui looked at her own hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.
[I told you, you are a Chosen One. I am watching over you!]
[Take action! Time is running out!]
......
A few seconds later, a store below exploded violently. A figure engulfed in pink flames shot into the sky.
"Oh?" Lust raised his eyes slightly toward that direction.
Then he let out a scornful laugh.
"Hmph, what is this thing?"
"Entrusting matters to someone like this proves He isn't taking it seriously either."
