But at this moment, Entity 303 really didn't have the mood to joke around with Scythe of Death.
He had a lot he wanted to say to Scythe of Death, and he also needed to properly apologize to it.
"Sorry, all this time I've been neglecting you."
"You're the weapon I created back in the outside world, and you followed me from that world into here."
"Thank you for accompanying me along the way, for witnessing everything."
"Thank you for never abandoning me."
"Big Lord, from now on, I'll be counting on you to take care of me~"
At first, Entity 303's words sounded pretty emotional, but that last line completely ruined all the atmosphere he had just built up.
But that line, "Big Lord, from now on, I'll be counting on you to take care of me", was exactly to Scythe of Death's taste.
Its personality was very much like Entity 303's. It really couldn't stand those mushy, emotional vibes, which only made things awkward. This kind of tone was much better.
Hearing Entity 303's words, Scythe of Death didn't respond.
But its actions had already shown its feelings.
It suddenly broke free from Entity 303's hand, then hovered in midair, the entire scythe spinning rapidly.
As Scythe of Death spun faster and faster, the temperature in the room quickly began to rise.
Sensing the rising heat around him, Entity 303 couldn't help but be surprised.
This speed of rising heat, he knew it all too well. It was the same effect that appeared whenever he was about to control flames.
Entity 303 never expected that Scythe of Death would also have such an ability.
He watched as Scythe of Death's blade glowed red, and in the area of its spinning, a glowing red vortex formed, pulling everything inward, just like a high-temperature black hole.
Seeing this, Entity 303 quickly shouted to stop it.
"Stop, stop, stop!!"
"I know what you can do now!!"
"We can show off later! Don't blow this place up!"
The powerful force Scythe of Death had just released was something even Entity 303 hadn't expected.
After all, the reason he created Scythe of Death in the first place wasn't because it was powerful. It was simply because he really liked the scythe's cool appearance.
Originally, this scythe was basically just a decoration, mainly meant to improve his overall style and look.
Who could have imagined that he had so severely underestimated Scythe of Death's true power?
From the looks of it now, Scythe of Death seemed to have inherited his ability to control flames.
Although Entity 303 still didn't know how many more surprises this scythe was hiding, one thing was for sure, this weapon that had stayed by his side all along was definitely a one-of-a-kind treasure.
At this moment, Entity 303 made a silent decision in his heart.
From now on, he would treat Scythe of Death with double the importance, never again neglecting it like before.
No matter how harsh or brutal the battles ahead, he would choose to fight side by side with Scythe of Death.
Since Scythe of Death was linked to Entity 303's mind, of course it could sense his thoughts.
It spun in the air once more, then returned to Entity 303's hand. In that instant, its entire blade radiated a blazing red light, as if it were answering Entity 303.
Through all those long and lonely days, the only thing that kept Scythe of Death going was its belief that this day would come.
To it, that long and bitter wait was worth it.
At that moment, after seeing Scythe of Death's terrifying power with his own eyes, Steve couldn't help but feel a strong surge of envy in his heart.
Although he knew very well that weapons with awakened consciousness were never ordinary, he still hadn't expected Scythe of Death's strength to be this shocking, that it even inherited Entity 303's flame-controlling ability.
If he himself could get Scythe of Death, wouldn't that mean he could summon "a copy" of Entity 303 at any time to help in battle?
Just as Steve was lost in this beautiful fantasy, suddenly, War God's Blade's voice rang out in his mind.
"Already jealous?"
Steve snapped back to his senses, his face instantly showing the guilty look of someone caught "red-handed." He stammered, "Uh… just sighing, just sighing… absolutely not jealous!"
Steve could clearly feel that War God's Blade's tone carried a faint hint of jealousy.
This wasn't hard to understand. After all, War God's Blade was personally forged by Notch. Of course it had its own pride and dignity.
There was no way it could tolerate its wielder admiring another person's weapon.
Hearing Steve's half-hearted denial, War God's Blade didn't call him out directly, but still shot back sharply.
"My upper limit is far beyond Scythe of Death's."
Steve's face changed slightly at these words. He was about to say something, when War God's Blade continued.
"But my upper limit depends on my wielder's upper limit."
This line was flawless, it affirmed its own strength, but also shifted responsibility onto Steve.
Not a single curse word, just a plain statement of fact, yet the meaning behind it was deep and cutting…
In simple terms, War God's Blade was saying, "If you're weak, don't blame me!"
Steve felt a wave of awkwardness and shame.
He knew very well that War God's Blade was right.
Ever since obtaining it, even though they'd been through countless battles together, he had never truly drawn out War God's Blade's real power.
In fact, with his current understanding and mastery, what he had managed to bring out was probably less than a tenth of its true potential.
Thinking this, Steve sighed inwardly, secretly making up his mind to train harder, to grow stronger, and never drag War God's Blade down again.
As Steve was lost in thought, he suddenly saw Entity 303 hurrying toward him with excitement.
"You wait here for me."
Then he added impatiently, "I'll go get them right now!"
At that moment, Entity 303's face was filled with barely suppressed gossip excitement.
Just now, he himself had been the one at the center of gossip, but now it was finally his turn to sit back and enjoy it. Naturally, he was thrilled.
He had only just found out that his most suitable weapon was Scythe of Death, and that it already had consciousness.
From this, it was easy to guess that the others were probably in the same situation.
After all, the weapons under Xu Yuan's command had been with their wielders for a long time.
Yet until now, no one had mentioned their weapons gaining consciousness.
So it was reasonable to assume that the others would soon face the same kind of surprise he just did.
Thinking this, Entity 303 couldn't hold back his excitement.
After all, every person's weapon would inherit their unique personality and powers. That meant the show ahead was bound to be spectacular.
Leaving aside the others for the moment, just the Ender Queen alone would be enough for a shocking scene.
Think about it, if her obsidian greatsword inherited her "soft and tender" temperament, and after being ignored for ages, how earth-shaking would its reaction be?
And if we're talking "big scenes," of course that's the Ender Queen.
But when it comes to comedy, it had to be the Death Knight.
Entity 303 really couldn't guess what personality his exclusive weapon would have.
Would it inherit Little Bug's playful style? Or 007's steadiness? Or would it be some mix of the two, forming a brand-new personality?
For the Ender Queen and the Death Knight, Entity 303 just wanted to sit back with melon seeds and watch.
But among them all, the one Entity 303 was most curious about was Null.
First, because Null was Xu Yuan's dark side.
He already carried some of Xu Yuan's traits within him.
Also, when he was born, he didn't seem to have any weapon.
Entity 303 was really curious, what weapon would suit Null best, as Xu Yuan's dark side?
And would Null's weapon perhaps even hold clues to Xu Yuan's own best-suited weapon?
Thinking this, Entity 303 became even more impatient.
He really wanted to see what strange and crazy demands the others' weapons would make.
Seeing Entity 303 like this, Steve immediately understood.
He raised his eyebrows, gave him a knowing smile, and urged him, "Hurry back!"
It had to be said, ever since Steve bonded with Black Blade and joined Xu Yuan's side, he had gone through some subtle but significant changes.
The old Steve had always acted serious, rarely ever joking to lighten the mood.
As the guild leader and one of the top players, he carried a kind of "idol burden."
He never wanted to give anyone the impression of being a joker.
But after meeting Black Blade and learning Xu Yuan's overall plan, Steve loosened up a lot.
This change came from a shift in his heart.
First, because he had finally come to understand clearly what he truly wanted to pursue.
Second, because after siding with Xu Yuan, he realized their goals were aligned.
And he firmly believed Xu Yuan had the ability to achieve them.
Finally, through his interactions with Entity 303, Black Blade, and the others, Steve experienced firsthand the unique atmosphere Xu Yuan's faction gave off.
It wasn't at all the strict, oppressive hierarchy he had imagined.
Instead, it was filled with an indescribable harmony and camaraderie.
Back when Steve first met Xu Yuan, he had already noticed that Xu Yuan wasn't as unapproachable as he had expected.
Xu Yuan did have a special aura, but it wasn't the kind of pressure that came from being in a high position.
It was more like the air of a learned elder who understood the world deeply and was willing to shelter the younger generation.
Steve couldn't fully describe it, but the feeling gave him an unprecedented peace of mind.
As for Black Blade, there was no need to explain.
The more Steve got to know him, the more he realized Black Blade wasn't really "cold" at all.
Not only that, but Black Blade never looked down on him for being a latecomer. Instead, he quickly bonded with him, even calling him brother.
Then came his interactions with Entity 303.
Entity 303 took over all responsibilities whenever Xu Yuan wasn't around, and he handled everything flawlessly, which showed his capability.
Though Steve had seen Entity 303's "dark history," he had also witnessed many of his "highlight moments."
Steve had assumed that someone who could handle so many tough problems might have a personality more like Xu Yuan's.
He never expected Entity 303 to be such a "fun guy."
But precisely because of seeing his personality, Steve finally let go of his own idol burden.
What mattered more than someone's outward behavior was their inner essence.
Even though Entity 303 was a "fun guy," he was still recognized by Xu Yuan and deeply respected by everyone under Xu Yuan.
No one looked down on him for his personality.
In fact, in Steve's eyes, being a "fun guy" was Entity 303's shining point.
He could shoulder everything, while still making the people around him feel joy. That wasn't something just anyone could do.
It was this mix of influences that gradually freed Steve from his old restraints, letting him show his more real and carefree side.
