Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

They only saw the Execution Dragon nod and say, "This will be a great war…"

Hearing the Execution Dragon's words, everyone felt their hearts suddenly sink.

Though the Execution Dragon had put it mildly, they were very clear in their hearts. What they would be facing was not a great war, but a massacre.

An existence with "god"-like power, how could they possibly match that?

Right now, their only hope was probably the Execution Dragon in front of them.

After thinking of this, everyone turned their gaze toward the Execution Dragon.

Seeing everyone's gaze, the Execution Dragon naturally also understood what they were thinking inside.

"My power is rapidly recovering… perhaps I may have strength to fight a battle…" The Execution Dragon spoke while also avoiding everyone's gaze.

Actually, the Execution Dragon didn't have any confidence in her heart. Right now, her power was rapidly recovering and gathering.

On the surface, it looked like a good thing. But in truth, it was because her body had sensed a crisis, which caused it to accelerate the absorption of power.

For a god like the Execution Dragon to feel crisis, for her body to enter an emergency state, one could imagine how immense that force was.

Even the Execution Dragon wasn't sure whether she had enough time to absorb more power. Because she didn't know when the Void would act.

What she said to everyone, that she had strength for a fight, was actually just to comfort them.

One must say, the Execution Dragon really wasn't good at lying.

Even though she had tried her best, she was still seen through at a glance by everyone on the shallow beach.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, the Execution Dragon sighed softly and muttered, "… I really shouldn't have said anything…"

Actually, the Execution Dragon had meant well. Everyone had been so anxious earlier, and she had thought that saying something would at least give them some mental preparation.

But she didn't expect that saying it out loud made things worse, everyone's emotions instantly shifted from anxiety to despair.

At this moment, only the sound of waves hitting the sand and the wind remained on the shallow beach.

Everyone was silent for a long time before Entity 303 opened his mouth and broke the silence.

He looked at the Execution Dragon and asked, "At your peak state, could you kill enemies across space?"

Hearing Entity 303's question, the Execution Dragon was a little confused.

"Across space?"

Seeing the Execution Dragon puzzled, Entity 303 explained, "I mean, if you were in the main world, could you kill creatures in the Nether?"

Hearing Entity 303's words, the Execution Dragon suddenly understood, and her eyes lit up.

"No!"

"This seems like a good idea!"

Hearing the Execution Dragon's answer, Entity 303 finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Then this battle can be fought!"

Actually, from the information the Execution Dragon had just shared, Entity 303 already understood their current dilemma.

The Execution Dragon's power was beyond doubt. The reason she had no confidence was because she was afraid she wouldn't have enough time to gather enough power to fight the existence from the Void.

So the problem to be solved was time.

That's why Entity 303 asked the Execution Dragon if her attacks were limited by space. Because Entity 303 didn't clearly understand what a god's power was like.

But the Execution Dragon's answer gave Entity 303 a sliver of hope.

The Execution Dragon's attacks could not cross space. In other words, if she was in the main world, it would be impossible for her to attack creatures in the Nether or the End.

From this, one could deduce that the Void's existence, which had power equal to hers, was most likely also restricted by space.

That being the case, then the Execution Dragon only needed to stay in a different space from the Void's existence and wait for her power to recover.

Moreover, this method could also ensure the safety of the others on the shallow beach.

Entity 303 was invincible, but the others on the shallow beach were not.

Entity 303 still remembered Xu Yuan's instructions. Xu Yuan had told them to prioritize protecting themselves, and then the players.

In the current situation, Entity 303 couldn't take care of everything. The only thing he could do was to first protect the people on the shallow beach, and then do his best to let Pengpeng spread the news.

So that the players could prepare obsidian in advance to travel between the Nether and the main world to avoid attacks from the Void.

As for what Entity 303 had to do, it was to draw the attention of the Void's existence, after all, he was immortal. As long as he could stall, there was hope.

Although Entity 303 didn't say his plan out loud, the Execution Dragon immediately understood what he meant.

She nodded in confirmation. "Mm, this method is feasible!"

Although the Execution Dragon's power had not yet fully recovered, she could already sense the power source that had the same strength as hers.

That force was nearly identical to her complete form.

The Execution Dragon, although a god and possessing great power, was not the most powerful being in this world.

Her attacks could not cross space.

In this world, only the Creator could do that. Clearly, the power source the Execution Dragon sensed was not the Creator.

Though it was as powerful as the Execution Dragon, its attacks were still unable to cross space.

If they wanted to win, then right now, they had to make good use of this point.

At this moment, after hearing the Execution Dragon and Entity 303's discussion, the others nearby seemed to see hope as well.

The nervous expressions on their faces immediately eased a lot.

Only the Dread Lord's expression didn't ease.

He thought for a moment, then finally couldn't hold back and looked at the Execution Dragon to ask, "You once went to the End with our king, and sensed the aura of the red consciousness. Is the aura of that red consciousness the same as the power source you sensed this time?"

Hearing the Dread Lord's question, the Execution Dragon shook her head and said, "No. What we are facing this time is not the red consciousness."

Hearing the Execution Dragon's reply, the Dread Lord let out a long sigh. He didn't seem surprised by the answer.

"Then this means, in this battle, what we're facing is only the orange or yellow consciousness."

After saying that, the Dread Lord furrowed his brow and spoke seriously, "The time-gaining strategy you're discussing does benefit us. But…"

"This plan is even more beneficial to the Void…"

Hearing the Dread Lord's words, everyone didn't react immediately, and all looked at him with confusion.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that everyone still didn't understand, the Dread Lord explained, "Before, we had gathered a lot of information and have some understanding of the Void."

"In fact, the true force forming the Void should only be the red consciousness. All other levels of consciousness were created by the red ones."

Hearing the Dread Lord's words, Null also nodded and said, "Mm. When we killed the Wither Storm last time, I had entered its inner world and saw the silhouette of the person it truly feared."

At that time, the Dread Lord had also joined in and had seen that silhouette.

Combining that with the time he had been trapped in the Void and the information he understood about it,

That's how he had come to this conclusion.

After hearing Null's words, the Dread Lord nodded and continued, "The red consciousness's goal all along has been to gather power and obtain a physical form."

"And that power has to be gathered through slaughter. Those Wither Storms and Withers slaughtering everywhere before, that was all to gather power."

Hearing this, everyone seemed to understand what the Dread Lord meant.

"In other words, its goal this time is still to gather enough power… Then this method of buying time… does indeed benefit the Void too…"

"What you mean is, if we delay for too long, then even if the Execution Dragon kills that soon-to-be-born power source, it's already useless because its mission has already been completed?…"

Hearing everyone's analysis, the Dread Lord nodded grimly.

"I think the Void has definitely already learned that our king entered the Trial Grounds… It will definitely use this period to gather enough power…"

"If the gathering is completed… then what we'll face next won't be a consciousness anymore…"

Hearing the Dread Lord's words, the Execution Dragon fell silent for a moment, then slowly said a few words.

"That will be a creator-like existence…"

Hearing the words "creator," everyone was momentarily stunned.

At this moment, the Ender Queen, who had been silent all along, furrowed her brows and quickly asked,

"I once fought side by side with the real HIM. I know that our king's true power is only one-third of the real HIM's."

"I want to know, does the real HIM possess the creator-like ability that you spoke of?"

The Ender Queen had once encountered the real HIM and recovered part of her memory.

Xu Yuan had also learned from her that his strength was only one-third of the real HIM's.

The Ender Queen didn't know what kind of power the creator-like being the Execution Dragon mentioned possessed.

She only knew that the real HIM she had met was, in her eyes, the pinnacle of combat power across all time.

So she really wanted to know, did the real HIM have the power that the Execution Dragon called "creator-like"?

If he did, then all the problems could be solved.
