Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

Chapter 139: Chapter 139:- True Hope



Seeing the Dread Lord suddenly kneeling, Null glanced at Xu Yuan.

Seeing Xu Yuan's appearance, it seemed like he was not planning to refuse the Dread Lord. Null immediately panicked.

"My king!!! He is stealing your power! He is not worthy of following you!!"

Null undoubtedly had some selfish motives; he had always disliked the Dread Lord. If he had to work with the Dread Lord in the future, how awful would that be every day? There was already one colleague (Little Bug) who chirped all day and was annoying enough.

As soon as Null finished speaking, the Wither King also spoke up.

"What are you doing?!!! Are you going to be a traitor again?!!!"

Seeing the Dread Lord's actions, the Wither King was utterly shocked.

While the Wither King and Null were fighting, he would occasionally glance at the battle over here.

Over on the Dread Lord's side, it was as calm as still water, not intense at all.

The Wither King had only looked away for a moment, and the Dread Lord had already knelt down.

To know, back then, it was him who pulled the Wither King down from his throne.

And now, just like that, he was defecting?

The Dread Lord saw the Wither King coming over, glanced at him, but did not respond to his words.

Then he continued lowering his head and said to HIM, "This is the King of the Nether, the Wither King."

"He will also follow you!"

Hearing the Dread Lord's words, the Wither King's eyes widened.

"????????"

"Are you crazy!?!! Aren't you the shameless one?!!!"

The Wither King looked at the Dread Lord as if he were a madman.

He, a dignified King of the Nether, was completely being used as a tool by the Dread Lord.

Getting dragged into war was one thing, but now he even wanted to drag him into defecting together!

The Wither King was about to continue speaking when Null interrupted him.

"What?!! You even want to bring this big chicken wing?!!!"

"We're not a garbage shelter, we don't take in rotten bones and big chicken wings!"

The Wither King was already furious, and upon hearing Null's words, he was instantly even more enraged.

He immediately countered.

"Not a garbage shelter?! Then why did it take in you, this lump of black coal?!"

At this moment, the scene on the grassland left the players watching the live broadcast completely dumbfounded.

"??????????????"

"Excuse me, what just happened?? Did I freaking miss something? Why do I suddenly not understand anything?!"

"What's going on?? How did this seaweed skeleton suddenly kneel?!!"

"Huh???? So the seaweed skeleton just defected like that?!!"

"That black aura… I feel like it's their power. The seaweed skeleton's power was absorbed by HIM, then HIM released power to the seaweed skeleton and took it back again, so the seaweed skeleton knelt. Maybe he felt HIM's power was too strong?"

"I think it's probably that HIM can take back the seaweed skeleton's power at any time, right??"

"Didn't people always ask if the seaweed skeleton was HIM's underling? Let me answer you, now he is…"

"So, the seaweed skeleton and that winged guy have both defected now??"

"Not necessarily, right? They seem to be arguing about something. Besides, that winged guy hasn't knelt yet?"

At this moment, the players could only wish they had a battlefield reporter recording the sounds in real-time.

They could only guess what was happening based on the visuals.

Although the situation on the battlefield was a bit chaotic, the only thing certain was that HIM absolutely had the dominant position.

...

Although Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised by the Dread Lord's reaction, it was still within his expectations.

In fact, Xu Yuan originally planned to subdue the Dread Lord through battle.

But after fighting the Dread Lord, Xu Yuan was surprised to discover another use for Fear Value.

Previously, the purpose of Xu Yuan's Fear Value was only to activate the entity of Null. After activating Null, the Fear Value had basically been left unused.

Xu Yuan also had not discovered any other uses for it.

However, after encountering the Dread Lord, Xu Yuan finally realized that Fear Value could be used to empower both Null and the Dread Lord.

No wonder Null had not grown much after being summoned.

It turned out that all this fear power had been converted into Xu Yuan's Fear Value.

Just now, Xu Yuan also used Fear Value to inject Fear Power into the Dread Lord.

Then, he took it back.

Xu Yuan also wanted the Dread Lord to understand where his power came from.

However, when Xu Yuan injected Fear Value into the Dread Lord—

He clearly felt a force opposing him, but that force was weaker than his and was temporarily pushed back.

When Xu Yuan took back the Fear Value, that force immediately retaliated.

Xu Yuan also noticed that this force might be related to the Void.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked at the Dread Lord and smiled.

"You want my power? Then let's see if you have the chips to trade for it."

Xu Yuan actually understood very well that the Dread Lord's defection was due to fear of his strength.

And it also seemed that he could free the Dread Lord from the Void's constraints.

Just now, when Xu Yuan infused Fear Power into the Dread Lord, he clearly felt a force resisting him.

That force was not coming from the Dread Lord himself. So it had to be a power from the Void.

As soon as Xu Yuan withdrew his power, that force immediately counterattacked.

And the Dread Lord instantly defected. There had to be a connection between these events.

In truth, Xu Yuan had always planned to subdue the Dread Lord eventually.

The fact that he defected so early actually saved Xu Yuan time and effort.

But Xu Yuan could not be careless.

The Dread Lord was extremely cunning. As a Wither Clan member, he had previously worked for the Void, proving that he had already defected once before.

Now, he had defected again.

He was truly the ultimate turncoat.

Even though the Dread Lord seemed to have surrendered, someone like him—Xu Yuan couldn't be sure if he would betray him in the future.

So Xu Yuan did not accept him so easily.

If the Dread Lord truly wanted to follow Xu Yuan, he needed to show his sincerity.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Dread Lord was momentarily confused.

After thinking for a moment, he then said, "I, the Dread Lord, the Wither King, and all the Nether's people will pledge allegiance to you in the future!"

The Dread Lord thought that his offer wasn't enough, which was why Xu Yuan said what he did.

Clearly misunderstanding Xu Yuan's meaning, he even added the Nether's people to the offer.

Even if the Dread Lord did not submit to Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan could still control the Nether's people.

Seeing that the Dread Lord didn't understand his meaning, Xu Yuan thought for a moment and once again infused Fear Power into the Dread Lord.

Seeing that the Dread Lord's body no longer exuded that purple aura, Xu Yuan finally spoke.

"You should be well aware—I can easily take away all of your power."

"Think carefully. Why do you think I'm letting you live?"

Now that Xu Yuan could materialize Fear Value, his perception had improved significantly.

The reason he forced out the Void's aura before talking to the Dread Lord was just in case.

With the Void's presence, the Dread Lord would definitely have hesitations. Someone like him—if he spoke, he would likely hide many things.

Xu Yuan did this to completely eliminate the Dread Lord's doubts.

It was also to tell him, "Only I can protect you and free you from control."

Hearing Xu Yuan's words and seeing his actions, the Dread Lord finally understood.

Xu Yuan wanted him to pledge loyalty.

After a moment of thought, the Dread Lord finally made his decision. He had long wanted to escape the Void but was unable to. Now, someone had finally appeared who could free him from this nightmare and fight against the Void. The Dread Lord, of course, would not hesitate any longer.

He also clearly understood what Xu Yuan wanted from him.

Thinking of this, the Dread Lord finally spoke. "If you accept me, I will tell you everything I know about the Void in complete detail."

"If you accept me, you will be my one and only, my final master!"

These words came from the Dread Lord's heart.

Although he had followed the Void before, it was never of his own will—he had only pretended in order to survive.

But this time, the Dread Lord was serious.

Because he knew, only the man in front of him could bring him true hope.

And bring hope to this world.
