Chapter 892: Identity Revealed — He Became the Boss?
Lu Ce was silent for a moment, staring at Perfect Life in front of him, suddenly feeling as if a brand-new path had appeared before him.
He did not know which god he would ultimately have to face, but he was very skeptical about the one-to-one matchup idea for players like Xie Antong and the others.
Maybe Xie Antong was a special case—absorbing divine power earlier and more, plus having help from him and Agony, she might still hold a ten percent chance of victory.
As for the others, they basically had not a sliver of chance!
They obtained part of a corresponding god’s power, followed the path those gods used to raise energy, tried to absorb and grow for a few days, and then expected to wrest a god’s position from the god?
That sounded absurd; even Lu Ce himself felt it unreasonable!
Back when he saw Xie Antong’s personality beginning to tilt toward Pleasure, he had felt some unease, thinking simple mimicry was not a good path.
But Perfect Life now outright rejected the promotion conditions of Despair and forcefully refused that god power’s brainwashing.
His power grew very slowly, and he seemed to be falling behind among many players, but in fact he was attempting a different route!
A different advancement path that was not the same as the original Despair path.Lu Ce looked at Perfect Life and couldn’t help feeling his heart stir; perhaps, he really might have a chance as well?
After Perfect Life finished speaking, seeing Sin before him still keeping a cold face and saying nothing, he gave a bitter smile and continued:
“Do you think all this trivial stuff I’m saying now makes you look down on me?”
“Back when Despair’s black sea thing happened, you spared no effort helping me. I still haven’t properly thanked you.”
“Now… I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you again.”
No!
Lu Ce didn’t care about anyone’s disappointment—what choices Perfect Life made were none of his business!
He only felt that compared to Perfect Life becoming a powerhouse in the prescribed way, this guy who dared to try another path might actually be more useful.
Naturally he said nothing; the other would insist on his own course anyway, and encouraging someone wasn’t really his style.
Click!
A somewhat crisp sound appeared in the air, like colored glaze shattering.
Cracks began to appear on the bodies of those Heaven and Earth Society members Perfect Life had completely sealed—obviously even he could no longer hold them.
But the fact that he had forcibly controlled such a group of superhumans for so long still reflected his top-tier strength.
The next second, the golden light instantly shattered together, and all restraints on the Heaven and Earth Society members vanished in an instant.
The figures who had rushed forward stumbled, looking at their hands in confusion as if they had lost some memories.
What had just happened?
However, as some of them noticed Sin before them, their expressions instantly hardened again, and they seemed ready to resume fighting.
“Isn’t this enough, everyone? Do you really want to continue this meaningless struggle?” Perfect Life quickly said.
“You should all know that the Sun’s death actually had nothing to do with him. Do you know who you should really be avenging? Isn’t that obvious?”
The movements of the crowd froze for a moment, as if hesitating.
They did know these things, but did that mean they should pretend the cause never existed?
They did not think they could take Sun’s place and make that judgment for him.
“All right, cut the nonsense.”
Just as Perfect Life was about to say more to these people, Lu Ce spoke impatiently.
He had only acted on a spur of the moment, and never expected so many complications to arise.
Never mind that these Heaven and Earth Society members had been beaten by him, there also seemed to be many top god-player wager players gathered in the distance; he didn’t know why they had come here.
He had already seen the Society’s backbone and strength—fine, that was that.
Now he needed to reveal his identity quickly and deal with them.
With that, he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a golden medal!
The medal shone a dazzling golden light in the sunlight, as if Lu Ce held a small star in his hand, freezing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Society members in place!
They were far too familiar with this item.
—The medal symbolizing the Heaven and Earth Society leader’s identity!
Immediately, each of them seemed unable to move, staring dumbfounded at the scene.
He...
He actually...
He actually killed the leader and then stole the medal!
“Okay, okay, stop overthinking. This was a gift from your cheap boss to me.”
“He said that if I could kill him, then I would be the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society. This was his way of selecting a new chief, which means you’ve all effectively been sold to me!”
Saying that, Lu Ce straightened his chest a little and showed an oddly malicious smile.
He also posted Sun’s last words to him and the leadership certification on the Society’s in-game public chat.
With this, he could forcibly enter the internal chat interface of the Heaven and Earth Society in the game.
[Sin: Hi~.]
Seeing the facts before them, every member of the Heaven and Earth Society was stunned!
They all stood in place like terracotta warriors, eyes blank, their minds storming with thoughts.
You can do that?
Why didn’t you say so earlier! What are we supposed to do now?
Perfect Life, who couldn’t see the Society’s internal situation, still roughly guessed what had happened and his mouth twitched.
Crap, how presumptuous of me.
No wonder Sin had no killing intent when he acted; I ran out and babbled a bunch of useless things—turns out he was one of us all along!
“His way of selecting a successor… actually suits him.”
“You’ve got a flair for the dramatic, pulling a stunt like that.”
Once the reality sank in, the Heaven and Earth Society members exchanged glances.
What to do?
They had come prepared to fight to the death, thinking they would be battling desperately, and instead they were here to meet the new boss!
Seeking revenge for the boss, only to find the object of their revenge is the boss.
Isn’t this ridiculous? Both the old and the new chief are so outlandish and unserious, treating the brothers like fools.
Moreover… it seemed like the second and third-in-command within the sect were probably dead too…
