This feeling... seems somewhat strange.
Pleasure's thoughts circulated within, observing the body of this vessel from a third-person perspective.
To prevent Xie Antong from making any drastic moves, like suicide or something, the control over the body even felt somewhat like Xie Antong was taking the lead!
It didn't mind, and to some extent, even actively yielded control!
The purpose was to coldly observe and witness Blank's mental state.
Suddenly gaining power without any prior foundation, plus falling into a disadvantageous position - this should be the stage where she most desires to seize power!
But now, even when the opponent pulled out the Extreme Path Battle-Axe, a Broken Divine Weapon, and started gaining the upper hand to some extent, this Xie Antong... didn't seem anxious at all?
Why...
It found this somewhat difficult to understand. Its previous feelings clearly hadn't been wrong - this woman should be the type who craves power intensely.
But now, she didn't seem to care at all, fighting with extraordinary patience.
It even felt somewhat intentional!
The massive battle-axe swept through the air, carrying terrifying hurricane forces that filled the entire space with howling sounds.
Xie Antong's flexible figure twisted and turned through this dense attack network, swaying left and right, managing to pass through a field of flowers without touching a single petal.
Not that she could afford to touch any - getting hit would probably mean serious injury or complete incapacitation.
"Why so quiet now?"
"Doesn't using power that doesn't belong to you feel rather awkward?"
"Still not planning to give up? Why not sell everything to Pleasure and let It fight me."
"Your current strength is still somewhat lacking."
After gaining some advantage, Jealousy's innate evil seemed to overflow, spilling out through his words.
His words even sounded like he was helping Pleasure with its seduction, but simultaneously, they alerted Xie Antong that abandoning autonomy meant losing everything!
"Is that so?" While dodging and weaving, Xie Antong didn't seem provoked by these words.
"But in my impression, if you were truly confident about killing someone, you wouldn't talk this much."
"Why so talkative this time?"
Her eyes held a madness mixed with extreme calmness.
She was struggling to find balance, dealing with the pressure from the world's number one combatant before her, resisting the seduction from Pleasure deep within her spirit.
Before her eyes, the All-Seeing Eye operated at high speed, the data flow moving so rapidly that it connected into a continuous stream! Like a curtain!
This legendary weapon had never operated so efficiently before.
This weapon always had one characteristic - its power, analytical capability, and energy consumption were all linked to the user themselves.
That's why Xie Antong frequently needed to inject medications to maintain high mental concentration and increase load capacity, all to enhance her strength.
Now, with her energy comprehensively enhanced in all aspects, it naturally provided significant bonuses to this device.
No one paid attention to her own strength, her analysis, her omniscience, her power activation.
But she herself remained clear-headed!
She was deliberately pushing her own abilities to their limits!
That feeling of skyrocketing to the top was indeed marvelous, that sudden power to rival Lu Ce was truly intoxicating, but she chose to let this power serve as "support."
To combine with her own strength, to adapt and digest.
Through pale blue lenses, emotionless data deconstructed everything - no killing intent, no crisis, only pure mathematics.
Everything before her eyes had completely decomposed into geometric shapes, a symbolic world jumping within her vision, allowing her to dodge every one of Lu Ce's attacks!
Every single one!
Those seemingly perilous maneuvers were all results of the All-Seeing Eye pushed to its limits, and she always accurately found every weakness in the Lu Ce before her.
The exhaustion points after techniques were executed, the gaps between various movements - these were all her opportunities!
The activated divine power struck Jealousy's body repeatedly during such openings, executing her counterattacks.
Although the battlefield situation had changed and she appeared to be at a layered disadvantage, so far, all actual damage had been dealt by her.
The longer this battle continued, the more confused Pleasure became.
What was she actually doing?
Did she really think she could win like this?
But it didn't know that Xie Antong's current actions were completely about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
She was honing her abilities, adapting to Pleasure's power.
Her greatest advantage was that no one knew she never saw "Sin" before her as an enemy.
Her target, from beginning to now to future, had always been Pleasure! Always this "god's" power.
Being enemies with "Sin" was false, a facade they presented to the world together, something silently acknowledged between them.
At least, that's what she believed.
So she wasn't merging with Pleasure to fight "Sin" - she was also dealing with Pleasure!
She wanted to maximize her own benefits. To say something rather arrogant - Pleasure might see her as a vessel, but wasn't she equally coveting Pleasure's power!
This ascendant-like power growth was indeed tempting.
Pleasure had always wanted to assimilate her, she knew that. She had even nearly fallen into that seductive abyss herself, she knew that too.
Like a robot, she examined her own desires, scrutinized all possibilities.
Last time, when Jealousy first appeared, he directly imitated [Life], a higher god.
What was called "the snake trying to swallow an elephant."
But Xie Antong's appetite wasn't small either - this elephant, she also wanted to try swallowing!
In that lightning-fast moment, a crazy light suddenly burst forth in Xie Antong's eyes - she'd gamble!
Instantly, her entire body seemed to exhaust its strength. That should-have-been flowing movement hesitated for just a moment.
That golden axe blade capable of splitting mountains and cracking stones, carrying an aura of cutting through anything, came chopping down toward her shoulder!
In that instant, the sharp wind cut through skin and flesh, revealing white bone within the crimson!
