“Haha… cough cough! Ha~ cough cough cough!”
When that massive head was twisted off, Lu Ce almost instinctively wanted to burst into laughter, but he couldn’t. Instead, he started coughing violently.
He looked down at his blood-soaked clothes and cursed in frustration.
“Tch, f***ing useless. Total buzzkill.”
The manic grin on his blue-painted face faded a bit. After staggering forward a few steps, he collapsed onto the corpse of the Divine Creation next to him.
“Sigh, why is it that whenever we want to play a little, there are always so many damn restrictions?”
Muttering to himself, he downed another bottle of Advanced Healing Potion.
Honestly, out of all the gas he’d played, this one had drained the most potions.
The mont Greed went into Overload, he stopped being human—he beca sothing more like a spirit.
His mind was focused solely on madness and profit, on Pain Points, Perfect Completion, and how to use and manipulate others.
Things like combat, physical condition, or the big picture? Who gives a sh*t.
And since he couldn’t feel pain to begin with, fighting really did feel like playing a ga—controlling his own fists like a player with a controller handling a fighting character.
In other words, he lacked any basic fear or respect for life.
That was the true side effect of Overload—it made it easy to play yourself to death.
For Greed, it ant greed could get him killed.
That’s where Lu Ce was different—his nearly twenty years of life before this had etched a survival instinct deep into his soul.
That’s the only reason that even when he lost all reason now, he still rembered to pop pills.
He couldn’t die—not because he had to live, but because there was no reason for him to fall.
The reckless slaughter earlier had already drained his life force. Just now, killing the second-to-last one had nearly pushed him to death’s edge.
That fight had even shaved a flat top off the business building nearby!
If it weren’t for Greed Overload being insane and powerful enough, this enemy would’ve been way beyond what any Player should face.
Now, maybe because he was close to death, Lu Ce had regained a bit of rationality.
On one hand, he could feel his body recovering fast. On the other, he tapped into the Bloodhound ability.
The sll of blood was heavy…
Chiyo Eine’s vitality was weak. Xie Antong’s wasn’t, but her condition looked nearly dead too…
“Sun” couldn’t even be sensed anymore.
On the other side, he could clearly feel a new strong presence forming.
Roughly twice as powerful as the thing he just dealt with.
“The last one… right…”
His tired voice sounded like a war-torn veteran, utterly worn out.
“Hehehehahaha! Good tis never last, huh. Only one left now. What a pity…”
Quickly, a twisted grin crawled back onto his face. Like trying to hype himself up, Lu Ce slapped his own face.
Then he started laughing again, playing with the Divine Creation’s severed head in his hands.
【: Bro, he’s actually insane, right?】
【: This doesn’t feel like acting. He’s way too into this role. I swear we could find Sin’s real identity in every major psychiatric hospital.】
【: Don’t be like this, Sin-baby, mommy’s scared~】
【: Even a psycho like this has mommy fans?!】
Just now, viewers had been watching the gory, violent fights with bated breath. To them, it was like watching a Hollywood action blockbuster.
Now that things had cald down a bit, they finally caught their breath and started chatting again.
…
“Hey!”
Lu Ce wobbled to his feet, pointing in a direction like a drunk man.
“You—how about not coming any closer?”
“I’ve got a better suggestion. Why don’t you go play with that fireball over there? He must be feeling pretty lonely by now. Might even be cold.”
As he said that, he pointed toward “Sun,” indicating the rciless scorching sun in the distance.
But the figure far away clearly didn’t get what he was saying—or maybe they did and just didn’t care.
A piercing screech followed, announcing the birth of the final Hunter.
That red figure had already entered Lu Ce’s senses.
“Ah, Tokyo. A monster. Feels like I stumbled onto the wrong movie set.”
“Any believers in the light out there? Soone wanna co save the day?”
“Dyna!!!”
Suddenly, Lu Ce shouted that last word at full volu, scaring the hell out of the livestream audience.
Crazy people really don’t care when they act crazy.
“I know where so of the others are too. There are still so fish that slipped the net. Wanna take care of them first?”
Standing still, Lu Ce’s Overload healing plus the potions had made his body practically brand new.
He didn’t move. Instead, he just stood there and started rambling.
He had a hunch—his words were having an effect.
The effect being: the other side wasn’t listening at all.
“Heh… so, there’s another bug now, huh.”
“God… truly the sloppiest, lowest-level programr in this world…”
Saying that, he actually tapped his earpiece.
Even at a ti like this, he thought to contact Xie Antong.
He said just four words—“Castling Move!”
…
Elsewhere, Xie Antong’s eyes flickered slightly as she lay in the Black Water, her gaze full of darkness.
Castling Move?
Castle over for what? You want to deal with that last thing?
You really think I’m cannon fodder, huh… well, I guess that’s fair. He probably always saw as cannon fodder.
But she didn’t reply. She didn’t know what to say. Her brain had already crashed.
On the other side, Chiyo Eine was already on her feet, slowly walking toward her, eyes full of complex emotions.
“You’re good. I admire you…”
“Where did you hide the Beacon? Take it out. Destroy it yourself.”
Xie Antong slightly raised her head and looked at Chiyo Eine walking toward her.
She didn’t speak. Her lips twitched just a little.
To Chiyo Eine, that expression looked like she was ready to die.
“Don’t be stupid! He’s about to lose too!”
“You’ve already lost. Don’t force to kill you…”
Xie Antong finally opened her mouth, her voice weak and soft:
“Are you… really going to kill ?”
Chiyo Eine was now right in front of her, towering over the woman lying in the Black Water, her gaze slowly hardening.
“If you don’t surrender on your own… I will!”
“…Alright then…”
Castling Move!
In that instant, Chiyo Eine saw a flash—
A twisted, blue-painted face appeared right in front of her, smiling as it greeted her.
“Hi~”
