Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

Though Annoying village HIM didn't particularly like the identity given to him by the real HIM, he had to admit, it did come with many advantages.

No hunger bar, not afraid of sunlight, and even came with a built-in trade system.

The only downside at the moment was probably just the large number of hostile factions.

But for Annoying village HIM, that wasn't really a problem.

The combat style of this world leaned toward village-style tactics, and that just happened to be Annoying village HIM's most familiar battlefield.

Even without those special abilities, his strength was still at ceiling level.

Besides, even if there are many hostile forces now, could they be more than the number of hostile forces he had in Annoying village?

In his own world, he could be said to have been an enemy of the entire world.

Annoying village HIM also very quickly accepted the identity setting given to him.

At this moment, he had already gathered quite a few players from the animal faction. And his next goal happened to be exactly the same as Xu Yuan's.

To find Mustard.

———

Although the Trial Grounds were full of undercurrents at the moment, on the surface, it was still peaceful.

Right now, although each faction was already clear, they were still in the development stage. At this stage, players from each faction would not choose to come into conflict with others.

So from a god's-eye view, the whole Trial Grounds still appeared very calm.

And at this moment in the main world, the situation wasn't much different from that of the Trial Grounds.

On the shallow beach, the Ender Queen had been pacing back and forth, appearing restless and anxious.

After walking back and forth several times, she finally couldn't hold back anymore and came to stand in front of Entity 303.

"The Void is completely quiet right now. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so why not let us go to the Trial Grounds and see our king's progress?"

After the Trial Grounds opened, once Xu Yuan's subordinates learned that the Trial Grounds could be viewed from outside, they all really wanted to take a look.

After all, it had already been a long time since they were separated from Xu Yuan, and everyone missed him, naturally they were also worried about him.

But everyone's requests were rejected by Entity 303.

Entity 303 was also very worried about Xu Yuan, but he clearly understood that going to spectate the Trial Grounds would be meaningless.

Even if they knew what Xu Yuan's identity was in the Trial Grounds, even if they knew his progress, they could only stare blankly. They simply couldn't help Xu Yuan at all.

Doing that would only be a waste of time. Not to mention, they still had more important things to do at the moment.

Seeing the anxious look on the Ender Queen's face, Entity 303 couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He looked around the shallow beach and saw that everyone looked distracted and absent-minded.

Entity 303 thought for a moment, then gathered everyone together.

Everyone thought Entity 303 had changed his mind and all came over eagerly.

Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, Entity 303 didn't show mercy and directly shattered their illusions.

"I know what you all most want to do right now. But what's important now is not what you want to do, but what you can do."

Hearing Entity 303's words, the hope in everyone's eyes instantly disappeared, and they all let out helpless sighs.

"We understand what you mean, but the Void hasn't had any news at all lately. We also can't just go to the End directly to gather information. Other than waiting, what else can we do right now?…"

"Exactly… Null and I have already reached the limit of what sparring can improve. If we want to get stronger, we can only rely on the power granted by our king…"

"We know the Void is building up for something big, but all we can do is wait. We know our king is taking part in the trial, but all we can do is wait. This feeling is really unbearable…"

Actually, without Entity 303 having to remind them, everyone on the shallow beach already clearly understood how serious things were.

The reason they were all so restless was because, under such circumstances, they felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Everyone on the shallow beach had already reached a plateau in their strength. After all, they'd been on the shallow beach for so long, and they'd sparred with each other so many times they'd lost count.

They were already too familiar with each other. Just a glance and they'd know what the other person was going to do next.

So fighting each other didn't bring any more improvement.

They also wanted to proactively search for clues about the Void, to learn what its next move was.

But clearly, that was an impossible task. It was like knowing there was a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment, but they couldn't do anything except wait for it to explode.

And they didn't even know how much longer this torturous waiting would last.

The people on the shallow beach weren't blind to the situation.

It was because they saw the situation clearly that they realized how small they were, and that's why they felt so powerless.

That's why they wanted to do something, anything, even if it was pointless. At least they wouldn't be sitting around endlessly waiting.

Hearing everyone's words, Entity 303 let out a long sigh.

Of course he understood how they felt, how was he any different?

Ever since the Trial Grounds had opened, Entity 303 had started to feel uneasy. The longer the Trial Grounds stayed open, the stronger this unease became.

He knew very well that the Void was already preparing for the next attack. He knew even more clearly that this next attack would definitely be even more intense than the last one.

Although after the last battle, Entity 303 now had a correct understanding of his own strength, he still had a vague feeling that what they were about to face this time might be something even he couldn't handle.

If that was really the case, then he wouldn't be able to protect the people on the shallow beach at all. When the time came, how could he explain himself to Xu Yuan? How could he explain himself to himself?

Seeing that Entity 303 didn't say a word and everyone else looked depressed, the atmosphere on the shallow beach became extremely heavy.

Off to the side, the Execution Dragon saw this and sighed. She hesitated for a moment, then finally made a decision and spoke, "Sigh… Young people, huh… just can't stay calm."

"If you all knew what kind of opponent you were going to face, would you feel any better?"

Hearing the Execution Dragon's words, everyone's eyes instantly turned toward her.

Everyone on the shallow beach naturally knew the Execution Dragon's status and identity. If she said something like that, then she must already know something.

"Dear sister, do you know something?! Hurry and tell us!!"

"What kind of address is that?! Kid, she's hundreds of generations older than you. You should call her ancestor! Not sister…"

"Come on, not the time to argue! Did you sense something?!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes lit up after hearing her speak, the Execution Dragon sighed, then slowly spoke.

"After my self-awareness awakened, my power has been gradually gathering and recovering."

"I am a god. I am the source of power, so my power isn't affected by any external factors when it comes to growth. Because of that, the speed at which my power recovers has always remained steady."

The Execution Dragon had already told Xu Yuan before that the speed of her power recovery wouldn't be affected by external factors. So unlike the Death Knight, killing players wouldn't help her grow faster.

After saying this, the Execution Dragon paused, glanced at everyone, and continued, "Just not long ago, right after the Trial Grounds opened…"

"I could clearly feel that the power gathering had suddenly sped up quite a bit."

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Doesn't that mean heaven is helping us?! Your power is gathering faster, so you should soon reach your peak state, right?!"

"If that's the case, then we won't need to worry about the Void anymore!"

"Whew… this really is the best news we've heard lately!!"

Seeing that everyone didn't seem to realize the significance of the situation, the Execution Dragon couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

Though everyone had finally gotten a bit of hope, she still had to explain things clearly.

"The reason my power is gathering faster, there is only one. This world already contains another source of power."

Hearing the Execution Dragon's words, everyone on the shallow beach was dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at each other, clearly not fully understanding what she meant.

"Wait… wait… another source of power?…"

"If I'm not mistaken, didn't you just say you were the source of power… and now there's another source of power in this world?…"

"Meaning, this world already has another god?! Emmm… could it be, do you have any siblings or something?"

Although everyone on the shallow beach was very powerful, they didn't understand the concept of a "god."

Because that was something they had never come into contact with before.

But after interacting with the Execution Dragon for so long, they could feel that she was different from everyone else.

Even though she had never reached her peak state, everyone on the shallow beach could clearly feel her getting stronger every single day.

Her body was like a bottomless pit, endlessly absorbing power. It felt like her strength had no upper limit.

So their understanding of a "god" was pretty much based on that.

Hearing the Execution Dragon's words, it was clear that what she meant was, this world had now given birth to another god.

This news was undoubtedly shocking for everyone. Even though everyone on the shallow beach greatly admired Xu Yuan and truly believed in him, they also clearly knew that the current Xu Yuan, or rather, Xu Yuan before entering the Trial Grounds, hadn't reached the level of a god.

And yet now, this world actually already had another god…

Seeing everyone's expressions, the Execution Dragon wasn't surprised. She nodded, confirming their guess.

"Yes. This world already has another god."

"I can vaguely sense that powerful force, but I can't detect its form. Or rather, it doesn't have a form yet."

After hearing what she said, the Dread Lord furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "That power must be coming from the Void…"

"This time, what we're going to face… might be one of the Red, Orange, or Yellow consciousnesses…"

After hearing the Dread Lord's words, everyone turned to look at the Execution Dragon.

Right now, they were hoping more than anything to see her shake her head and deny the Demon King's guess.

But unfortunately, they didn't get to see the scene they wanted.

[T/N: I came to know, via Patreon, that you can't find the new novels I annouce, in my account. The thing is, WebNovel allows maximum 20 WebNovels to be published by an account. Due to which, I can't post anymore novels through this account. So, I had to create another account(Ambitious_Guy) to continue publishing novels. So, when I am annoucing new novels, you can search them by their name and read it, or just check my other account(Ambitious_Guy). I hope it clarifies.]
