"It will watch you, it will see you..."
"You will die badly, you will regret this! Let me go!!!"
The voice representing Pleasure was now filled with despair and pain, not a trace of its former amusement-seeking heart remained.
It even sounded somewhat shrill and desperate.
Unexplained explosive sounds echoed in the air, clearly Pleasure's violent struggles.
Sun didn't know anything about cooperation at this point, but he had become the most perfect support in this world.
Under the intense absorption of divine power, his spirit began to waver, his body and face started to deform.
But he kept absorbing!
However much came out, he absorbed it all, showing no concern about the risk of his body exploding.
Pleasure was truly unlucky—the three people it encountered in this game were likely the most insane participants in this entire game.
Lu Ce and Xie Antong were even more extreme, their entire bodies deforming while their spirits suffered the most direct impacts.
At one point, Xie Antong's face transformed into the pink visage of Jealousy, and simultaneously, a handprint bulged out from her cheek!
It was as if someone lived inside her body, desperately trying to break out.
This final assimilation had been building up for so long, yet the decisive battle only lasted a few short minutes.
Its cries received no response, as neither of them could open their mouths to speak.
"You... are wasting opportunities, you're crippling your own martial arts!"
"Assimilating me won't directly give you my power—my strength will merely reside within your body!"
"Every time you want to use it, it'll be a gamble—you could become me at any moment. We weren't that different to begin with."
"How about..."
Its voice had shifted from its previous condescending tone to madness, even beginning to sound pleading.
"Wait... which one of you is which?"
"Who is it?!"
Pleasure was already becoming confused.
"It will watch you! It can see—each of us bears its soul mark..."
As it spoke these final words, violent power seemed to stir spatial turbulence, destroying everything in sight—the ground, mirrors, all the facilities in the haunted house.
Including the three people present, all were sent flying by this suddenly explosive power, spinning and floating in the air as if they'd entered space.
Even someone with Lu Ce's power had no chance to resist—everything was directly shattered.
After tumbling and colliding through the air like garbage bags for what felt like ages, they finally landed slowly, all three crashing heavily to the ground as if dead.
"It is watching you..."
"You have... been marked..."
A voice in the air grew increasingly distant until it disappeared completely.
Everything returned to calm, the ground ravaged by energy now completely littered with debris.
......
"Huh?"
In the Dragon Group's underground facility, the Grand Elder couldn't help but emit a rather unintelligent sound.
Compared to the previous situation, didn't this ending seem a bit too abrupt?
"Is... is it over?"
The surrounding crowd also asked uncertainly.
"Succeeded? Did we succeed?!"
Someone exclaimed excitedly.
"They actually managed to assimilate it?"
"Are the people okay? No problems, right?"
"These three are all our Chinese people!"
In the room, individuals whose youngest members were already in their seventies or eighties chattered like students, all appearing extremely excited.
But some still found Pleasure's final words strange.
What did "It is watching you" mean?
What was that soul mark thing?
These concepts seemed to touch upon gaps in their knowledge.
......
"Over?"
Lu Ce's face returned to its pink appearance, and the face began to gradually loosen, apparently reverting to its mask-like state.
Jealousy, having endured the most intense phase of assimilation, now seemed unable to maintain its overloaded condition.
Struggling to sit up, he drank a potion and scanned his surroundings.
During the confrontation, his Agony value had almost constantly been increasing!
Clearly, the divine power's death throes were extremely difficult to withstand.
He had thought there would be one last difficult period, but it seemed the final moment had abruptly ended.
As if some powerful, overwhelming force had indiscriminately taken something away, ending everything directly.
Was it Pleasure's true form?
"Damn!"
In the distance, Sun struggled to stand up, divine power swirling around him—he had suffered the most severe injuries.
"It's over? Hey! Are you still alive? What were you doing just now?!"
As soon as he stood up, he shouted toward Blank on the other side.
Hearing his voice, Lu Ce simultaneously turned his head.
Seeing the figure in the distance struggling to sit up, he gave an almost imperceptible nod.
Xie Antong sat on the ground with hollow eyes, her disheveled hair giving her a somewhat broken appearance.
Then a weak voice came from her mouth.
"Pleasure's soul mark."
"Pleasure God marked all its dispersed power with its own soul imprint as a label."
She had returned to her most familiar self—calm and peaceful.
The aura around her had also returned to its previous frail state, as if nothing had just happened.
Sitting in the ruins, enduring the pain, she applied medicine to her hands.
[Due to special circumstances, the game has ended.]
Suddenly, a game announcement sounded, the cold mechanical voice replacing Pleasure's to declare the game's conclusion.
[All participating players, except for one, have cleared the game!]
[You may exit for settlement voluntarily, or automatically exit for settlement after half an hour.]
The game's voice calmly announced, declaring this sudden end to the game.
All players, including those outside the amusement park who had been bombed by Sun, now received this message.
Huh?
The game ended? And I won? How did I win?!
This sudden joy was utterly unexpected—the Verbalists Black and White stared at each other in confusion, not understanding why both of them could simultaneously win.
"Only one person lost..."
"It's me." A voice suddenly said, coming from Xie Antong who was drinking her medicine.
"I'm the one who lost."
After pausing for two seconds, she slightly raised her eyes, revealing an unprecedented, unrestrained smile.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, even dyeing her teeth red, but her voice still couldn't conceal its trembling joy.
"But..."
"I won!"
