Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 888: The Medal of Faith, the World’s Highest Mountain

On the endless, winding Great Wall, like the spine of the world, stood a sea of people belonging to the Heaven and Earth Society.

At this moment, no one spoke. The sun had just risen at the horizon, and the space between heaven and earth was terrifyingly quiet, filled with an aura of deathly slaughter.

All members of the Heaven and Earth Society had put down whatever they were doing. In unison, they turned their heads and stared intently at where "Sin" stood.

Lu Ce looked at the people here, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled upward.

He really had underestimated this organization. Even in such an apocalyptic scene, they still had this level of discipline. He had thought that only the Dragon Group could achieve something like this.

The Great Wall stretched thousands of miles, and someone like Shui Zhongmeng, a level of existence equivalent to a divine apostle, could find him using the special power of the gods. But how could all these people have done the same?

So that meant, every single part of the Great Wall must be filled with their people!

This wasn't a Great Wall at all; this was a Great Wall made of a sea of humanity!

"Really... not bad..." Lu Ce muttered softly as he looked at the people around him.

"That madman Sun actually had such loyalty from you people?""Are you all here to avenge him? Did he have any requirements for joining the Heaven and Earth Society back then?"

At this moment, Lu Ce was genuinely a bit curious. A highly disciplined group must have a unified core ideology.

But Sun clearly didn’t seem like the type to engage in ideological construction. Before today, Lu Ce had always believed that anyone could join the Heaven and Earth Society whenever they wanted.

Shui Zhongmeng looked at the congregation around him and couldn’t help but smile as he spoke:

"That guy knew nothing about requirements. He probably couldn’t even speak human language properly."

"But he had only one standard for everyone who joined the Heaven and Earth Society: absolute recognition that the world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society!"

Lu Ce nodded almost imperceptibly.

Because they firmly believed that the world belonged to them, they acted in the early days like a cult—ostentatious and unrestrained.

And because they firmly believed that the world belonged to them, not a single person here had ever thought of siding with the gods.

For the same reason, even though their leader was dead, they wouldn’t swallow their pride and back down.

"Sun was a genius... but also a total waste." Lu Ce couldn’t help but sigh.

Such a terrifying organization, if it were in the hands of someone ambitious and capable of organization, would have an exceptionally fearsome combat power.

But Sun had focused solely on improving himself and had no real understanding of these things.

Shui Zhongmeng didn’t make any judgment about his former leader and simply continued:

"Of course, there are plenty of people in the Heaven and Earth Society who are just there for the ride. But those kinds of people wouldn’t be here today."

"Because I never gathered the members of the Heaven and Earth Society. Everyone who came here came entirely of their own free will! The Heaven and Earth Society still doesn’t lack people with backbone."

After saying this, Shui Zhongmeng shouted loudly to all the Heaven and Earth Society members:

"Anyone who can hear me, if you don’t want to court death, get off both sides of the city wall right now!"

"If you’ve made up your mind and have participated in and won more than five games, move forward! The rest of you, fall back!"

With Sun gone, Shui Zhongmeng, though without an official title, was essentially the deputy leader of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Since he had previously warned the members not to come, there had been no preparation beforehand.

But at this moment, Shui Zhongmeng’s words caused the members to display military-like discipline. Everyone moved swiftly in complete silence.

In truth, Lu Ce was carrying a certain malicious amusement. The medal representing the chief was sitting in his coat pocket.

He had originally planned to chat a bit more, waiting until Shui Zhongmeng, with the resolve of a dead man, was about to take revenge before pulling it out for them to see.

But now, with the murderous atmosphere of the Heaven and Earth Society members, he suddenly felt his chest heating up!

It was as if some invisible force was frantically gathering toward his chest.

He then remembered that the description of this medal mentioned that it could gather the power of faith!

But he had no idea what kind of power this was. He only felt that the way this power was being generated seemed somewhat similar to divine power.

More importantly, he felt that the power of "Agony" inside him was also churning. He didn’t know why, but it seemed like it was starting to be absorbed by him!

No, he’d better not take out this medal for now.

Lu Ce couldn’t help but laugh. The members of the Heaven and Earth Society surrounding him were no ordinary players; they were all ready to strike at any moment.

"I originally said noon, planning to wait until the sun was at its highest before we made our move. But now, it doesn’t seem all that necessary."

"Sun once said that he was the highest mountain of the Heaven and Earth Society! Whoever could defeat him would directly take over the position of leader of the Heaven and Earth Society."

"Now, he’s died at the hands of you, the Strongest Player. Today, we members of the Heaven and Earth Society will risk our lives to climb the highest mountain in this world—you!"

As his words fell, before Lu Ce could respond, someone had already made a move!

To these battle-hungry people on the scene, Shui Zhongmeng’s words were the final signal to start the fight.

A cart filled with various cold drinks suddenly charged up from behind Lu Ce. Its acceleration was so fast that it probably surpassed any supercar’s zero-to-sixty.

But to Lu Ce, this speed was nothing. He flipped over and leaped into the air, dodging the attack.

The cart exploded instantly. The bottles of drinks shattered as well, and the black and white liquid curtains formed a net that enveloped Lu Ce.

Lu Ce rolled in the air, changing his angle in a bizarre manner, and landed behind that person.

The cart-pusher was not surprised at all. He turned the cart handles into two short spears and thrust them backward!

From the sheer combat proficiency, it was clear that he was no slouch. He was also one of the first players to join the Game, and now ranked in the top two hundred in the world. Within the Heaven and Earth Society, only a handful could defeat him!

Even on a global scale, he was a top-tier expert at the apex of the pyramid.

But when his spears thrust out, they couldn’t go any further, as if they had hit a steel wall.

He felt a chill of alarm. When he turned his head to see the multicolored face, his pupils instantly shrank. What was blocking the tips of his spears was a single pinky finger!
