Xie Antong's mind was spinning with dizziness, the voice filled with desire from Lust continuously replaying in her ears, eroding her rationality.
The gentle trap is the hero's grave—this saying will never be wrong, though at this moment, the roles were somewhat reversed.
Feeling the presence of the face before her, Xie Antong buried her head lower again, like an ostrich.
No, she absolutely couldn't look at this guy;
she couldn't handle it at all. It was almost like staring at an Ancient God!
At times like this, the downside of having a highly developed brain became apparent. She could clearly outline every detail of Lu Ce's face, with exceptional clarity.
Looking at that purple mask was almost exactly like looking at his face. Her brain could even automatically complete his expression, generating a matching look in her mind along with the tone of his voice.
This was a bit too overpowering...
She had never experienced this kind of feeling before today. How had she not realized earlier that the Lust state could be more troublesome than the other masks under certain circumstances?
She admitted she liked Lu Ce, but rationality should always occupy a more dominant position in her mind. Yet now, her reason was on the verge of being shattered!
What kind of challenge was this...?
The hand being tightly gripped was already starting to suffer from poor blood supply and had lost the strength to grip back, simply being held in his grasp.
She felt she was about to break, her body beginning to tremble slightly.
At this moment, the Lust avatar inside Lu Ce was so angry it started cursing.
What the hell is this %￥#%T@ Pleasure doing, dawdling like this!
It was really tough for it, okay? Fully invading the other's spirit and interfering with emotions was basically no different from two people punching each other.
It was completely a case of injuring the enemy a thousand while damaging yourself a thousand—a hard trade. It had no idea what this guy was hesitating about.
Actually, it was already evident from now that the mental pressure and influence of Lust on him were also disastrous.
Otherwise, if He had even a shred of intelligence, He should have realized that it was suspicious for these two people to coincidentally possess the power of Lust at the same time.
But right now, He was an idiot.
Lust taken to the extreme equals idiocy.
"Ah~ What are you hesitating about? Trembling with fear? Or feeling ashamed in front of me?"
"Didn't He tell you some plans earlier? I'm very interested. If you don't try soon, it seems like you're about to break."
"You need to, give it your all~"
Lust continued speaking with full temptation.
Originally, his voice and tone were no different from usual—just that playful feeling of a cat toying with a mouse.
But to Xie Antong's ears at this moment, it inexplicably carried a hint of encouragement. It had to be said that being lovestruck was truly terrifying.
Finally, she raised her head, looking straight at the purple mask before her with a meaningful gaze.
She couldn't hold on any longer. The ray in her hand was about to disappear;
she had to make a choice.
In reality, her remaining rationality still allowed her to analyze what Lu Ce was trying to do.
The Lust Mask was related to emotions. A strong mental and emotional impact was likely the trigger for his Overload.
But similarly, this was also dangerous. If things didn't go in the direction he imagined, the outcome would be truly unpredictable.
However, to use the rules of The Game to successfully secure the ecological niche of "the primary person opposing Sin," she had no way back.
"Sorry... then, as you wish!"
Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, and it was unclear what she was apologizing for.
Then, Xie Antong, whose face had been flushed from the emotional impact, suddenly had her pupils contract sharply. Her eyes turned pitch black like ink, and a bewitching smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
She began to actively draw upon the power of Pleasure once more, and clearly, she exceeded the appropriate limit!
Immense power instantly surged through her, giving her the strength to firmly grip Lu Ce's right hand. Their palms even began a contest of strength.
Subsequently, her other hand shot out abruptly, touching Lust's forehead.
The power of Pleasure was also terrifying in its influence on the human spirit.
Lust roared a triumphant "Excellent!"—this guy was finally starting to take effect!
Lust's voice abruptly cut off. He slightly raised his head, as if Xie Antong were gripping his skull.
"Hehe..."
Lust's mind at this moment was like an overturned spice shop. Any player in this world who swapped places with him right now would undoubtedly end up in a mental hospital!
If it were an ordinary person, it would mean instant brain death.
Lust, Pleasure, and even Agony! The mental collision of three divine powers churned in his brain, catalyzing his desires.
Yes, for some reason, his long-dormant status as the Chosen of Agony was adding points at this moment. Who knew what kind of pain that represented.
Coupled with the catalytic effect of the mask, the sensation could be described as exceptionally... stimulating.
"Hahahaha!!"
No other sound could come from beneath that mask anymore, only maniacal laughter.
In the bright space of The Game, the area centered around him even darkened slightly, like a black hole absorbing all light.
Similarly, it attracted all gazes.
Although there was no powerful energy overflow, everyone in this game couldn't help but hold their breath, their heartbeats accelerating.
In his mind, an intense internal struggle was taking place.
"Sorry?" Suddenly, his voice came again, and his head began to lower jerkily, as if the frames were skipping.
"It is I who should apologize!"
As he spoke, the hand gripping Xie Antong tightened, and a tremendous force surged forth, violently pulling her figure into his embrace.
The power was so terrifying that even she, enhanced by Pleasure, couldn't react in time.
By the time she realized it, she was already held in his arms. Then, the purple mask descended, pressing against her lips.
She was being forcibly kissed?! In front of so many people?
Her mind went completely blank, only those words flashing through it. Then, her body began to struggle violently, trying to push him away.
But now, how could she possibly push him away?
The cool touch of the mask made her spirit feel like a lone boat floating on the sea, in danger of sinking at any moment.
However, the next second.
The sensation of the mask dissolved. That cool feeling disappeared, replaced by a strange texture.
—Under the mask's Overload, it had fused with the human face!
In other words, it was no longer a mask now?...
A terrifying spiritual aura surged forth the next second, completely engulfing her.
