This momentum...

Pleasure felt something strange, in such a short time, He kept sensing that this "Sin" seemed to have grown again.

Hearing his words, He was completely certain that the one he faced was a god he had never seen before!

He reached out, took an hourglass from in front of him, and tossed it onto the gambling table.

"From what you just said, you admit it. You've already switched people, you're now 'Sin,' right?"

When He said that, the spectators finally seemed to react. One by one, their stunned faces returned to the previous clamor.

"What do you mean switched people? Can you swap with someone inside the black box halfway through?"

"Pleasure doesn't seem to mean that. He seems to be saying the current 'Blank' is actually 'Sin'!"

"Oh, dressed as a woman!"

"…Gods understand."

...

Listening to Pleasure's words, Jealousy, who had completely taken over Xie Antong's body, showed little reaction, only a disdainful smile.

But Pleasure didn't need any reaction from him, and simply turned to look at the Arbitrator standing on the other side.

"If that's the case, this should be a violation. It was clearly stated when the Game began."

"Between both camps, one person is the chips and one person is the player, once decided it can't be changed."

The Arbitrator felt Pleasure's remark aimed at him, and inwardly began cursing.

Ever since He discovered that the person on the 'Blank' side had swapped, He had been the most shocked—He didn't know how "Sin" had pulled it off!

For some reason, when that guy appeared, He felt an inexplicable guilt and tension.

He retreated early to the distance, acting like he hoped no one would notice him.

That a judge could end up like this was ridiculous.

Upon hearing Pleasure's voice, Xie Antong (Sin) suddenly erupted into an exaggerated, loud laugh:

"Hahahaha! How pathetic, at a time like this you actually start talking about rules?"

"This isn't like I swapped with her, it looks more like you swapped with her. Your fear of losing is so entertaining. Good, you've provided me with a lot of Pleasure."

Jealousy naturally maintained his usual standard, speaking with that murderous impulse.

But having said that, his eyes carried a few sinister tones as they turned toward the Arbitrator.

"However, speaking of which, aren't you as a referee a little two-faced?"

"You promised cooperation. You didn't come help at the crucial moment, fine, but you thought to secretly off me so our affair wouldn't be exposed, right?"

"You think that by turning a blind eye to Death's actions you can get me killed."

Arbitrator: ...

He said nothing, only approached the black box and struck it with a fist.

Bang!

The roar brought a violent tremor, the black box shook, and the divine power belonging to Death inside it was instantly suppressed.

At a time like this, petty scheming was truly unnecessary—people had already come out...

In the black box, Lu Ce's body suddenly lost pressure like a deflated ball, rebounded in an instant, flopped like a salted fish on the chair.

It looked ridiculous, then lay motionless, as if dead.

Only then did people notice that the half of the face belonging to Lust was gone, leaving only the twisted, dark purple-black Jealousy.

That Jealousy face leaned back against the chair, the smile never stopping, frozen on it.

Death in the black box was first stunned, then glanced outward, then furrowed his brow and fell into thought.

The Arbitrator released his grip, bowed slightly, and said toward the gambling table:

"I just paid attention to the gambling segment at the table and briefly slackened. Death did not directly violate the rules."

"Now, a 'swap' has not directly occurred either. The Game continues!"

As he spoke, his eyes stayed on the ground the entire time, not daring to look up...

From the moment this "ally" reappeared, he felt the Game was no longer under his control; let anyone who thinks they control it believe so...

"Hmph!"

Pleasure glanced at the Arbitrator, snorted coldly, not seeming surprised.

He had long seen that the Arbitrator's state in this Game was off, almost giving up.

He slowly closed his eyes, then a sudden wind rose! It was an unusually dense surge of Pleasure's divine power.

But now, this divine power was not intended to suppress Xie Antong (Sin); instead it completely acted upon Himself.

As His divine power circulated into His body, it was as if He cleansed His negative state, the tight frown slowly easing.

When He opened His eyes again, He resumed the godly aura and domineering presence, that trademark mischievous smile returning to His face.

"You still have this trick of spiritual invasion, it truly surprises me."

"It seems that earlier the little girl was able to maintain mental stability under my pressure, that must have been your doing."

"But perhaps you are a bit... overconfident!"

As He spoke, His expression started to warp, as if embarrassed by His earlier lapse.

"Even you are no different from her in front of me, only making my wager and the Game more entertaining."

"Xie Antong" propped her chin with one hand, smiling ambiguously as she said:

"Your look just now reminded me of someone injecting themselves."

"Also, are you saying harsh words forcibly to recover some dignity after being scared by me just now..."

Pleasure: ...

"Aren't you the one who wanted me to teach you to win? Then come and teach."

"The topic shift is a little clumsy."

Xie Antong (Sin) laughed as she picked up the played '12' from the table and waved it in front of Pleasure.

"Actually it's simple. The way to win is for you to go all-in now."

"You already know what I am, so play the hand that can win, then take all the chips!"

"That way, when I win the next round I'll have almost no chips left; the final tally will still be a loss."

"Then you will have won, see? So simple even an idiot could understand it, right?"

"You make excellent sense, I truly think that's the simplest way to victory," Pleasure said with a smile.

"But you're wrong."

"Why?"

"Because it's you saying it, no matter how reasonable, it isn't right!"
