This place, resembling an ancient battlefield, looked like a ruin, but even more like an alternative kind of arena.

The world kept swaying endlessly, though it was unclear what exactly was swaying. The sounds of collapse and shattering were everywhere, yet nothing that was collapsing or shattering could be seen.

Lu Ce was just like this, alone, thrown into this space as if he had been exiled.

"Hey?"

"No one's here? What's the meaning of this, just leaving me be, huh? Planning to trap me here until I die?"

"Hah, you guys really are something else with your underhanded tricks. Messing with me without even a heads-up."

After his voice rang out, there was no echo at all. It was like standing on an empty plain practicing vocal exercises, the sound traveling far into the distance.

He couldn't actually just wait to be trapped to death here. Otherwise, [Death] wouldn't have said those things earlier, nor mentioned that he still had a game or something.

A flicker of confusion passed over the blue face as he walked continuously in one direction, as if trying to reach the end.

But this space seemed to have no end! With his nearly demigod physique and the fastest human speed, he walked for who knows how long, yet still couldn't see any boundary.

"Tsk... If I had that teleportation or similar skill that Perfect Life has, then I could at least experiment a bit..."

"Where the hell even is this? You guys are really too kind to me..."

"Not even a chair to sit on!"

There wasn't a single person around to chat with him, but he didn't feel lonely, nor was he particularly nervous or scared.

Talking to himself, he actually felt quite happy with the conversation.

......

However, he himself never watched his own game livestreams. What he didn't know was that, at this moment, he could still be seen by the spectators!

This livestream had not ended! After those spectator stands disappeared and their spirits returned to their own physical bodies, they could still watch his current movements.

Only, their confusion was no less than Lu Ce's.

[ : Huh? What's the meaning of this? That spectator stand suddenly vanished, I got sent back, so why hasn't "Sin" returned yet? ]

[ : I passed out after returning, just woke up now. How long has he been trapped? ]

[ : I've been watching for hours, what's going on. ]

[ : Could it be... the gods realized "Sin" is truly hard to deal with, so they directly exiled him to a void space to slowly die? And still livestreaming it... ]

The barrage discussed all sorts of things. Even though this boring game livestream scene had continued for several hours, the eyes of the entire world were still focused on that man.

It was as if the game wasn't over until that man came out.

When they were immersed in the spectator stands earlier, it felt novel at first, but later became nerve-wracking. Now they realized it was better to just sit behind their screens.

So people chatted fervently, having already discussed an abnormal number of conspiracy theories and possibilities, a wide variety.

They just didn't know yet that these days of sitting safely behind screens might also be numbered...

......

[Stop walking.]

In the endless forward trek, the swaying of the world gradually ceased. Suddenly, a voice came from high in the sky.

Lu Ce himself was already somewhat familiar with such a voice and could quickly identify it as the voice of [War].

So he looked up at the dark starry sky overhead. The myriad stars seemed to each be a source of that voice.

"It's you... Did you need to make me wait this long?"

Lu Ce also truly stopped walking, looking up at the sky as he spoke.

[What comes next is a game belonging to me.]

"What kind of game is this? Why so mysteriously, adding another match for me?"

"My wager should logically be over. This game of yours, I don't recall agreeing to participate."

"Moreover, what kind of wager have you prepared?"

The face of Greed grinned, the perfectly curved corners of its mouth almost clearly spelling out three words—pay up more!

Regardless of what game it was, or why he appeared here, all he thought about was the benefits he could gain.

[Hah...]

However, [War]'s response was unusually laced with amusement, sneering as it said:

[Did I ever say this game is between you and me?]

[If we follow the rules of bullfighting in your human society, you are merely the ox...]

As the words fell, roughly a hundred meters opposite Lu Ce, a starry gate materialized out of thin air!

The color of the door frame resembled those resplendent stars, yet the space within the door was pitch black, completely obscuring what lay inside.

The smile on Lu Ce's face also slowly faded. Looking at that gate, with a few flickering movements, he was already right in front of it.

The closer he got, the more he felt that beyond that door seemed to be sealed some primordial behemoth, brimming with bloodlust and killing aura. The overwhelming killing intent carried the scent of blood, strong enough to knock a person off their feet!

Lu Ce raised an eyebrow, peering inside.

What did it mean... the participants of this game weren't himself and [War]?

Then who could it be...

Suddenly, from within the pitch-black door frame, a pair of crimson eyes abruptly snapped open. Those eyes, filled with violence and slaughter, fixed their deadly gaze on Lu Ce.

Then, those eyes swayed, slowly growing larger, as their owner gradually walked out from within the door, arriving before Lu Ce.

As it approached, Lu Ce also slowly looked up, gazing at the colossal being before him.

"Whoa~, you, my friend, have been eating well."

The being before him—no, perhaps it could no longer be called a person—this monster stood over three meters tall.

Its entire body burned with black flames, its face was ferocious, its skin had completely armored over, and at every joint protruded sharp bone spikes.

Even the air it exhaled was abnormally scorching hot, possessing lethal potency.

Furthermore, it was currently hunched over like a gorilla. Its two long arms, resembling granite pillars, hung at its sides, its hammer-like fists resting on the ground.

If it were to stand up straight, its height would likely approach four meters!

Given its current body density, its weight was absolutely measured in tons. This was completely no longer a human body.

—Sun!

Looking at this unfamiliar yet still identifiable by aura colossal being, Lu Ce said with a smile:

"You, you really are extreme."

"A while not seeing you, and you're not even human anymore..."

From the starry sky above, another voice suddenly rang out:

"The final game of the god-player wager, 'The Final Battlefield', begins now!"

"The wager participants: [War], and the player 'Sun'!"
