Lust seed to be deliberately angering Jiang Yuan, intentionally pushing him to the opposite side.
For Lust, identifying soone’s emotions and inner thoughts was the easiest thing in the world.
Sure enough, hearing the other’s delirious, nonsensical justifications, Jiang Yuan instantly burst into a fit of rage.
"Just because of a reason like that, you treat people in your world so casually?"
"Manipulating the emotions of the weak—does that give you pleasure?"
Lust looked at the person in front of him, who was still tangled up over right and wrong, and truly could not help but laugh.
"Yes, of course it gives pleasure. What, shouldn’t the strong toy with the weak?"
"It’s hard to imagine that soone who has already driven his world toward destruction could say such naive things."
"Truly laughable."
As he spoke, the mocking light in the eyes on his mask fixed onto Jiang Yuan without letting go.
Jiang Yuan: !!!
The hand gripping his weapon tightened instantly. Clearly, Lust’s words had struck a precise nerve in him, causing murderous intent to flash across his eyes.
The force in his hand surged slightly, and he already had the urge to act.
Originally, he wouldn’t have struck for such an improper reason;
now he was losing his composure.
"Hahahahaha!"
But just before he could move, Lust suddenly pointed a finger at him and laughed uproariously.
That laughter stopped Jiang Yuan’s intention to act dead in its tracks, leaving him staring at Lust in confusion.
"See? Just like that. Don’t you think it’s interesting?"
"With just a few simple sentences I completely shattered your ntal defenses. So? Now that you, who think you represent justice, want to angrily strike out?"
The teasing tone instantly woke Jiang Yuan, making cold sweat break out across his head.
Right—just a mont ago his emotions were basically being controlled too, weren’t they?!
He looked up at Lust with unsettled suspicion and, fearful, asked:
"You used your ability on just now?"
"Do you refuse to face your own heart?" Lust’s face took on an oddly serious, earnest expression as he asked back.
Staring at Lust, Jiang Yuan slowly cald and hesitantly said:
"So you said those things on purpose?"
"You're trying to tell to always be wary of my inner self, to watch whether my emotions are being led by others?"
As those words fell, silence imdiately lood between them. On Lust’s purple mask, his mouth curled into a crazed grin;
the earlier seriousness vanished in an instant.
"Hahahahaha!"
Once again, Lust burst into guffaws, the mockery hitting Jiang Yuan like a wet towel slapped across his face.
"I knew it—playing you is easier than dealing with the ones below. Stirring your emotions is effortless;
I just changed my phrasing and you fell right into the trap."
"People like you aren’t cut out for this ga. You’re born to be used as soone else’s tool. That woman used you and didn’t even bother to hide it."
Listening to Lust, Jiang Yuan froze as if petrified, unable to move.
How could such a person exist in this world!?
So capricious and fickle—yet everything he said was true. His emotions truly had been toyed with and manipulated.
He even forgot what he had rushed here to do.
He had co to this strange world knowing nothing and couldn’t even find the Master...
At that mont, a new surge of pink waves erupted through the city below.
Obviously, after Jiang Yuan’s roar earlier, Lust’s incarnations had acted again, expanding their control over the crowd.
At the sa ti, Xie Antong had already circled once around the main street beneath Lu Ce, mobilizing the Apostles and closing in.
All of this was thanks to Jiang Yuan holding Lu Ce back for so long.
Jiang Yuan instinctively glanced down at the spreading pink light, his expression growing uneasy.
"This...is their aura."
It should be the enemy’s aura.
But the person in front of him...
Jiang Yuan’s mind was a ss;
he even felt afraid to look directly at Lu Ce.
On the purple mask, Lust showed a sowhat devilish smile as he watched Jiang Yuan’s retreating figure.
This guy must be totally unfamiliar with the Ga and the world—still too green.
Since he ca to this world to follow , I’ll give this rookie a lesson.
"Ah, seems your plan worked, you held back."
Lust’s mocking voice rose.
"Now, I’m not the one controlling and toying with those people below. Their usage rights have been handed over to so other fellows."
"This wasn’t my plan..." Jiang Yuan said dazedly.
He no longer knew what was right.
Below, seeing the pink haze and the lasers Lust could fire at will, Xie Antong decided not to hold back.
A perfect opportunity!
"Apostles, act!"
She gave the order directly, now that commanding these people had beco second nature.
Instantly, the street below turned noisy. Several Apostles led the calls, building a huge montum.
"Attack! Hurry, there won’t be another chance!"
"Quick! This is our chance to take down the First Player!"
"This is being chosen by God, our chance to ascend!"
Shouts rose from the crowd. Those who could muster so semblance of rationality needed to fire their lasers, even if it was a gamble.
The sudden assault on Sin shocked Jiang Yuan into asking:
"Do they have a grudge against you?"
"A grudge? Heh, once you’re in the Ga, everyone’s an enemy," Lust replied nonchalantly.
But Jiang Yuan felt sothing was wrong;
he suddenly wondered if he had done sothing wrong.
Watching the incoming beams, he almost reflexively raised his shield, intending to block them for Lu Ce.
Yet the light slices went straight through the shield, unaffected.
It was the Ga’s design—beams couldn’t be blocked by abilities;
at most they could be dodged.
"Oh? Helping again so quickly?" Lust’s voice lounged on, as if the lasers weren’t even aid at him.
"See? With a few words, you seem to be under my spell once more, changing your mind again."
"Didn’t that woman tell you I’m very good at beguiling hearts?"
"What, have you grown used to being used?"
Jiang Yuan fell utterly silent;
he couldn’t tell anything anymore—he could distinguish nothing at all!
