Chapter 255: Purgatory of Torture, Paradise of Virtue

Zeno and Silva walked towards Germain.

"We have learned about this from President Netero. How do you plan to deal with the stress and torture?"

German already had a plan in mind.

He reached into his black robe, unzipped it, and took out a box. He opened it and revealed a stack of hard cards with the English logo of Greed Island on it.

"Before coming here, my companions prepared some things for me."

He pulled out the cards one by one.

"After using these cards, they can materialize some things or achieve some effects. They have food for gourmet hunters and the ability to directly relieve stress. I will use them."

Zeno chuckled twice.

"It seems that you will not give up this battle easily... Well, we wish you good luck."

Half an hour later, the dark crown and the torture state disappeared, but this was not the point.

That night, Germain used the card of Greed Island to unseal the dishes that Menqi and Buhara had prepared before, and served them on the table, but only for his personal consumption.

Then, he used the card to summon the fragrant hair girl, who continuously provided a fragrance that could relieve stress.

After that, he also tried the experimental card made by Duen and Lister, which was based on Biscuit's magic beautician cookies.

After all, it was a test product, and the effect was far less useful than the real magic beautician cookies, but it was better than nothing.

Because of the toughness, all of Germain's decompression treatments were amplified.

This allowed him to control the pressure below the 100-point torture threshold before the battle on the second day.

On this day, he first tried not to use Chaos Roar, but was firmly blocked by Netero's Hundred-style Guanyin to the point of suffocation.

So, he could only use Chaos Roar again.

As soon as Chaos Roar appeared, the situation changed significantly.

Netero's Hundred-style Guanyin could not suppress Germain, and Germain avoided attacks more and more times.

However, the load brought by Chaos Roar after forcing it to reach the torture threshold still made him unable to support it for too long.

As long as Netero and Germain fight a protracted war, he will be sure to win.

On this day, he triggered a critical hit, but it was only this time, and the amount of stress reduced was not much.

The torture made him very uncomfortable, especially when he saw that the stress value was getting closer and closer to the 200 points of exhaustion.

However, he did not have no way to solve the exhaustion - he brought the card "Archangel's Breath".

Since it is quite difficult to replenish "Archangel's Breath", Germain now has only three cards.

One of them is one he has held for a long time, and the other two are recently replenished.

It's just enough for him, because everyone can only use one card.

Before reaching exhaustion, using "Archangel's Breath" can restore Germain to the excellent state of clearing the stress value at once.

If it is really unavoidable, Germain can only use one of the three "Archangel's Breath" on hand.

That night, Germain heard about the new situation of Mo Laowu and Nob from Netero.

"Nob used his Psychic ability 'Fourth Dimension Apartment' to set up entrances and exits near and inside the palace occupied by the Chimera Ants, facilitating the break-in at 0:00 on the 23rd."

"During this period, Nob was almost discovered by the three guards, but fortunately he escaped in time."

"In addition, his disciple Pam had to see the Ant King and the three guards in person in order to use the monitoring Psychic ability 'Lonely Deep Sea Fish'."

"For this reason, she sneaked into the palace, but her whereabouts were unknown."

"It is very likely that she was caught by the three guards, and either became the food of the Ant King or the transformation object of the three guards."

Netero's tone was very cold.

"After personally experiencing the viciousness of the three guards' Psychic energy and being powerless to deal with the disappearance of his disciples, Nob's spirit collapsed and his hair turned white overnight."

"It is very likely that he can no longer participate in the decisive battle, and can only provide a certain degree of support at most."

Chimera Ants especially like to eat humans, especially those with Psychic abilities.

They are the most delicious among humans, and you will never forget the taste once you have eaten them.

Pom was caught. If he was eaten, he would most likely be sent to the table of the ant king.

If he was transformed, it must have started now.

German had met Nob and Pom once.

He still remembered Nob, who was wearing glasses and was well-mannered, and Pom, who was disheveled and full of resentment.

Since they have participated in the chimera ant crusade, they need to play a role, otherwise they might as well quit immediately.

Their abilities are just the kind that can serve as scouts.

And the casualty rate of scouts during wartime is undoubtedly very high.

Therefore, German did not laugh at or despise Nob who collapsed because of this.

Nob had a mental breakdown after completing all his work. He did not delay the decisive battle, but still played a very important role.

Not every Nen user can calmly achieve the mission goal in his situation.

This is like suddenly throwing an ordinary person into the mental hospital in "Escape" and letting him escape by himself, as helpless and desperate.

After Netero finished speaking, he added: "No matter what Nobu decides to do in the end, the time of the final battle will not change, and everything will continue."

As if inspired by the story of Nob and Pom, Germain decided to change his mindset.

He would still try to reduce his stress to below the 100-point torture threshold, and then he would take the initiative to do some actions to increase his stress.

Killing penalty, punishment for bad gambling, bloodthirsty penalty...

Germain had to take the initiative to make his stress exceed 100 points, and then refresh his status.

Under extreme pressure control, he had to choose between two options: torture or virtue!

If it was torture, Germain would use Chaos Roar at this time, and the torture would not be superimposed.

This would be a heavier price than usual when using Chaos Roar, because he had to bear the torture with characteristics.

In addition, the order of Chaos Roar materialization and torture was swapped.

If it was virtue, Germain's stress would be forced to be emptied by force.

At this time, when Chaos Roar was used, due to the existence of virtue, torture would not be formed, that is, the stress could not be forced to be increased to 100 points.

At the same time, virtue would also increase Germain's critical hit probability, thereby increasing the chance of critical hit decompression.

Although the probability of virtue is lower than that of torture, it is worth a try.

Germain decided to use this idea to gradually control Chaos Roar, and then he continued to fight Netero's Hundred-style Guanyin.

So, in the next few days, he was reincarnated between the purgatory of torture and the paradise of virtue, and he had no intention of stopping from beginning to end.

In such frequent attempts, Germain's number of virtues was only four times, and the rest were torture.

However, Germain still wanted to continue.

Even Netero, Zeno, and Silva, who were well-informed, couldn't help but twitch their eyelids when they saw Germain torturing himself like this and trying to find a way out of hope in madness.

His body was bombarded by the Hundred-style Guanyin, but he was protected by his physique and the Great Lake Rune.

Mentally, he only had a barrier of reason.

Although he knew it was a nightmare and was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep, he still insisted on doing it, and cleverly thought of using the "Sleeping Girl" card to sleep instead of him, thereby avoiding a side effect.

Netero, Zeno, and Silva were all impressed by German's tenacity.
