The bearded Divine ssenger's phantom expanded in the air, transforming into a giant over ten ters tall, looking down at the "Sin" before him like a judge.
That's right, the room Lu Ce was in was the Spring Mortar Hell, Gluttony's favorite place.
But... what did he just say?
Wasting food?
The words spoken by the Bearded Phantom hadn't even gotten much reaction from him, but the audience outside the screens were completely broken by them.
[: Wasting food? What kind of statent is that, this is a bit too outrageous.]
[: No, this thod of assigning guilt, isn't it a bit too targeted?]
[: Right now, "Sin" is the only one who appears guiltless, so they just have to assign him a cri, right?]
At this mont, even the detached audience could see that sothing was wrong with this bearded figure.
He almost nakedly harbored malice toward the players. As the ga's referee, soone who should "uphold justice," there was currently not a trace of fairness to be found.
This no longer seed much like players competing with each other while he watched from the sidelines; instead, it seed like he also wanted the players dead.
However, considering the target was "Sin," many viewers felt it was relatively reasonable, after all, "Sin's" reputation was far too notorious—he had long since offended the ga.
......
The Gluttony mask on Lu Ce's face seed like solidified gasoline, with no sense of flow and none of the liveliness of the other masks.
But precisely because of this, that face appeared exceptionally terrifying, like soone from an anthology horror film.
After a long staring contest, a large mouth cracked open on the red mask, spanning the entire width of the face as if drawn on.
The shape of the large mouth looked like red fangs outlined with a black pen. After baring its teeth in a grin, it spoke:
"Wasting... food?"
This was one of the rare, sowhat rationally conscious statents he had made since putting on the Gluttony mask.
Due to his previous frenzied eating, and consuming things that were high-energy or even outright harmful, his mind was now exceptionally chaotic.
The effect of the Gluttony mask: immunity to any harmful parts within anything eaten.
But at the sa ti, ntal confusion intensifies, energy unnaturally surges violently, with the constant risk of the body exploding from overload.
However, given Lu Ce's current physical strength, which was far greater than during his last use of Gluttony, he was still nowhere near the point of bodily explosion.
Seeing the state of energy dissipation around him distorting space, the Bearded Phantom also frowned slightly.
But he said nothing, rely repeating:
"Defiling the five grains, wasting food—do you plead guilty!?"
And simultaneously, he had already begun silently counting down a tir in his heart.
"Food..."
"Who is the food?!"
Gluttony exhaled a thick, hot breath, his whole body seeming almost unable to stand upright as he slowly leaned forward. Yet, the violent aura emanating from his entire being began increasing exponentially.
Who is the food?!
Just listen to what this guy is saying!
Sothing like "food"—can it be referred to with "who"?
But Lu Ce had said it exactly like that. A violent explosion sound erupted throughout the space!
That was the reactive force from him stomping the ground to launch himself forward.
The most outrageous aspect of Gluttony lies in this: the energy from the things he eats is temporarily stored within his body.
He might burst from overeating, but he can equally release and erupt with that stored energy!
The Bearded Phantom was still silently counting in his heart, but the next second, a figure had already rushed right up to his face.
A crimson large mouth opened, chomping down on him with absolutely no regard for reason.
Divine ssenger with beard: !?
"How is this possible, could he have seen through it?!"
Thinking in shocked horror, his reaction certainly couldn't be slow; he rapidly retreated backward.
But, he was too big.
A portion of the airflow constituting his body was still easily sucked in by Gluttony just like that, swallowed into his stomach.
The countdown in the bearded Divine ssenger's heart was directly reset.
Who is the food?
The food is himself!
By voluntarily entering this room, he was exploiting the rules to make himself the "food."
This way, if that "Sin" couldn't eat him, he could be directly judged guilty.
Only after all eighteen lamps were lit could this ga enter the state most advantageous to him.
But...
He actually ate it!
The speed the other party erupted with in that instant even surprised him a little, resulting in him not completely dodging.
It was pure savagery, the most primitive physical power, combined with energy erupting from who-knows-where.
But this wasn't over yet.
This Gluttony, having successfully bitten flesh, beca like a shark that had successfully hunted, his entire face twisting into a ferocious grimace.
With no leverage point in mid-air, he forcefully twisted around and charged again toward the retreating Bearded Phantom!
This movent was even faster than the previous one, directly crashing straight through the massive gaseous phantom!
The Bearded Phantom instantly exploded and reford on the other side.
With an ugly expression, he touched his chest. In his current state as an energy entity, he could clearly feel that a small portion of his power was missing.
Lifting his gaze, he saw that "Sin," now crouched on the ground, had stopped moving.
As if savoring so particularly delicious food, he was chewing vigorously.
Simultaneously, the red mask on his face began twisting and restructuring like lting wax.
The image itself looked like soone undergoing torture, as if molten hot wax had been poured all over a person's face.
Strange, low growls began erging from Lu Ce's throat, seeming like pain, but also like a kind of ecstasy.
The lting mask slowly began rging with his face, kneading together anew, and the violent aura around his entire being grew even more unstable.
"Thank you..."
From the red face, his eyes erupted with a bloodthirsty glow, shooting straight toward the phantom Divine ssenger across from him.
He could clearly feel that this guy seed to have beco a different person.
"You are delicious."
"I promise you, I will not waste... a single piece of at on your body!"
