At this moment, in a certain dense forest of the game world, someone exclaimed, "What did you say?! The Nether has been taken over?!"
The Dread Lord heard the words of the Wither Skeleton in front of him, with a face full of disbelief.
"Now the Nether is already the world of the Wither. They're bombing everywhere, indiscriminate attacks…"
The Wither Skeleton slowly poured out the entire experience of the Nether.
Upon hearing what happened in the Nether, the Dread Lord immediately clenched his fists. After thinking for a moment, he asked the Wither Skeleton.
"What color are the eyes of those Withers?"
This sudden question from the Dread Lord caught the Wither Skeleton a bit off guard.
After recalling carefully for a while, it answered. "Seems like… it was purple…"
Hearing the Wither Skeleton's answer, the Dread Lord finally understood.
'Most likely they're purple consciousness bodies…'
After thinking of this, the Dread Lord glanced at the Wither King beside him and said bitterly. "So Void had no news for so long, turns out they were raising troops in our Nether…"
The situation in the Nether was clearly the doing of the Void. The Dread Lord and Wither King never expected that, while they were living freely after following Xu Yuan, their old home had actually been stolen.
This was way too humiliating.
The Wither King thought for a moment and then asked the Dread Lord, "Looks like the number of purple consciousness bodies in the Nether isn't small…"
Hearing the Wither King's words, the Dread Lord nodded and said, "Dealing with them isn't hard, but I'm just afraid a bigger conspiracy is brewing behind the scenes…"
"It's better to return first, and see what our King says."
The Dread Lord and Wither King had gone for one to two hours in total.
When they arrived at the shallows, they found that Xu Yuan hadn't returned yet. This made them feel a bit troubled.
Clearly, the longer the Nether's problem was delayed, the more difficult it would become. But at a crucial moment like this when major decisions need to be made, Xu Yuan wasn't around.
Seeing this, the Dread Lord and Wither King also called over everyone at the shallows and shared the information they had just obtained.
After hearing about the situation in the Nether, everyone fell into heated argument.
"Although the Nether is full of purple consciousness bodies, this is clearly the scheme of the Void. If we move blindly, we might alert the enemy, right?"
"But if we don't solve it quickly, there will be endless troubles!"
"Damn it, why did something like this have to happen while our King isn't here…"
"Then are we going to the Nether to solve the problem now, or wait for our King to come back first?…"
Everyone held different opinions and couldn't come to an agreement.
Even though many of these people were once monarchs who stood on their own, at this moment, they had no idea what to do. Even they hadn't realized that they had become so reliant on one person.
Without Xu Yuan, everyone was like a group with no backbone.
They argued for a long time and still didn't reach a conclusion. In the end, they all turned their eyes toward Entity 303.
During the argument just now, Entity 303 hadn't said a word. He, too, was unsure. Now, seeing everyone looking at him, Entity 303 couldn't help but feel a bit stunned.
"You… why are you all looking at me?…"
"Our King once said, if there's something we can't decide, we can ask you!"
"Besides the King, your strength is the highest, don't you have any suggestions?…"
"Are we going to the Nether or waiting for the King, give us a united decision!!"
Seeing everyone unanimously seeking his opinion, Entity 303 was instantly dumbfounded. And they even said it was HIM's prior instruction.
Entity 303 immediately felt flattered. Although he had been in the team for quite a while and had blended in, Entity 303 always felt like he was a small, invisible presence.
After all, emotionally speaking, HIM was certainly closer to those who joined the team earlier.
In terms of strategy, the team didn't lack outstanding individuals at all.
Null, being HIM's shadow, naturally had the thinking most similar to HIM.
The Dread Lord, Wither King, Ender Queen, Last Dancer, Dragon Prophet, each of them commanded a region, and all had rich experience.
Entity 303 also felt that HIM, whether emotionally or logically, wouldn't place high expectations on him.
Entity 303 clearly underestimated himself by thinking this way. The reason Xu Yuan placed high hopes on Entity 303 was because he, like Xu Yuan, didn't belong to this world. Only those who don't belong to this world can jump out of it and think rationally.
They can also see the bigger picture of this world more clearly. Thus making the most reasonable decisions.
Seeing everyone looking at him anxiously, Entity 303 was feeling intense pressure.
The main thing was, even he wasn't sure about what to do. This was the first time everyone asked him to make a decision. If his judgment was wrong, wouldn't that let HIM down?
Entity 303 frowned deeply and slowly analyzed, "The Void needs to kill living beings to gain strength. Now the Nether is their breeding ground. Every minute we delay, those Withers will provide the Void with nourishment from millions of lives."
"Even if it alerts the enemy, we must go and kill those Withers!"
After hearing Entity 303's words, no one had any objections.
"Then should we notify our King now?"
"Our King should be at that 'Divine Realm Competition' the player mentioned."
"Then split into two groups? One group to the Nether, the other to find the King. The King hasn't returned for so long, maybe he ran into trouble, maybe we can help…"
"..."
Hearing everyone's proposal, Entity 303 thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Null already said, the other HIM has strength equal to our King. Even if all of us went together, we wouldn't be their match. Going would be pointless, we might even make things worse…"
After hearing Entity 303's words, everyone agreed with the logic.
Entity 303 saw this and continued, "Alright, Null, Dread Lord, Wither King, you three go to the Nether to check the situation first. Don't act rashly. Understand what's going on and report back. We'll all discuss a strategy together."
The Dread Lord and Wither King were the lords of the Nether, so in the Nether they should be able to sense other energy forms. Null as well.
So the three of them were the best choice to gather intel.
Hearing Entity 303's arrangement, the three immediately set out. Through the Nether portal, the three quickly arrived at the Nether.
When they saw the scene in the Nether, they were all stunned.
"This really has become hell…"
The current Nether was unrecognizable. Looking around, everything was in ruins.
The once steep terrain had now been flattened. In all directions, it was almost impossible to see Nether blocks, exposed bedrock was everywhere.
With all the terrain and blocks gone, visibility had indeed improved a lot.
But looking around, there wasn't a single monster in sight. This scene perfectly echoed the saying, Hell is empty.
Seeing this, even NULL, an outsider, couldn't help but sigh. Not to mention the Dread Lord and Wither King, who saw the Nether as their home.
The usually talkative Dread Lord had now gone silent, trembling with anger. The Wither King clenched his jaw and fists, forcefully holding back the rage inside him.
Null didn't know what to say either, so he patted the two on the shoulder and said, "They will pay the price."
After a while, the Dread Lord and Wither King finally calmed down a bit. The three immediately closed their eyes and began sensing.
"…I sense 37 Void energy presences…"
"42… they all seem to be purple consciousness bodies…"
"No, wait… 46!… That's blue consciousness body energy!!…"
At almost the same moment, all three sensed the presence of blue consciousness bodies. And there were four of them.
All three of them gasped.
Just as they were about to discuss countermeasures, they suddenly saw a gigantic monster in the distant sky, with three eyes and a body like a whirlpool.
Wherever it went, the few remaining blocks nearby were all absorbed to its sides, becoming its armament.
"What the hell is that?!"
"That's the thing that turned the Nether into this state, right?…"
"How can a monster like that exist in this world?…"
