The piercing laughter tore apart the room's solemn atmosphere, startling awake everyone who had been trying to absorb divine power and feel its strength.
Everyone looked over in confusion, only to discover that the source of that grating laughter was, as expected, "Sin."
And what had he just said?
Mockery covered the pink mask. Jealousy, the very pinnacle of evil, seemed to have finally bared its fangs at this moment, releasing his malice.
"Hehe, you didn't actually believe it, did you?"
"You really thought you had a chance? That if you faced the same gods, learned their traits in advance, and stole and absorbed some of their energy, you'd have a chance to replace them?"
"What a joke! What does any of that have to do with you? I was just teasing you. Let me handle that sort of thing."
"If you really want to try it, you'll basically be guaranteed to die. Hehehe..."
Only after hearing that entire speech did everyone understand that when he said, "You didn't actually believe it, did you," he had not meant the method of absorbing divine power was fake.
He meant that he had apparently never believed people like them could defeat gods and obtain divine power.
But in truth, they had never believed they were capable of defeating gods and replacing them in the first place. From beginning to end, that idea had been proposed by "Sin."
He had proposed the idea himself, openly told everyone how to grow stronger, then denied it himself and mocked them all?
Was this guy actually insane? Had something gone wrong with his brain?
Still, seeing the way he was speaking now, everyone inexplicably felt uncomfortable.
"Hey..." Xie Antong could not help speaking up as well, looking confused.
She did not understand what Lu Ce meant
