Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

[🎉 Shoutout to Eval, Lu, Jarrod and Time Walker for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan continued to ask the Dread Lord. "So, the mission the Void sent you to the Main World for is to find the Ender Dragon?"

Xu Yuan was not aware that the Dread Lord had come for him. From the Dread Lord's words, it was undoubtedly clear that the Void needed the Ender Dragon.

It was just that by coincidence, the Ender Dragon happened to fall into Xu Yuan's hands.

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Dread Lord shook his head and said, "Not just that. My mission, besides the Ender Dragon, also includes... killing you..."

After hearing the Dread Lord's words, Xu Yuan was not too surprised. Because in the mental image he had of the Void, there was indeed a figure similar to Xu Yuan.

So, it was not surprising that they would target Xu Yuan.

However, what Xu Yuan couldn't figure out was, the Void was already so fearful of people similar to Xu Yuan. And also, the Void had already learned of Xu Yuan's existence in this world.

Then why did they only send one Dread Lord?

It was not that Xu Yuan looked down on the Dread Lord.

The main thing was, he himself had said that he was the Void's lowest combat power.

The Void was so fearful of Xu Yuan that they had already issued a kill order.

Yet they only sent the lowest combat power over? This didn't quite make sense.

Even if the Void knew that Xu Yuan was not the existence they feared. But to be on the safe side, it was also impossible for them to send just the lowest combat power.

No matter how you looked at it, this didn't quite make sense.

"Why did they only send you?"

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Dread Lord also shook his head. He thought for a moment and then analyzed.

"I'm not too sure either. But I have been in the Void for so long, and I have made some discoveries."

"They need power in order to gain the ability to parasitize. The stronger a person is, the more power they need."

"I don't know how they accumulate power, but the reason they chose me might be for two reasons."

"One, my strength is top-tier within the purple tier, my power comes from fear, and my strength has no limit."

"Two, they might have only gathered enough power to allow a being of my tier to parasitize, plus I am relatively familiar with the Main World."

"So they chose me."

The Dread Lord was actually given his mission on short notice.

At the time, the Void sensed that the portal to the Main World had been opened by the Ender Dragon, and only then did they issue the command.

Although the Dread Lord did not know why he was chosen.

Based on his years of understanding of the Void, he deduced these two reasons for the Void selecting him.

What the Dread Lord could confirm was that the consciousness entities in the Void must absorb a certain amount of power in order to gain the ability to parasitize.

Those consciousness entities were like containers—the stronger the entity, the more power it needed to absorb.

The reason they did not take action themselves must have been for a reason.

It was likely because they had not absorbed enough power.

After hearing the Dread Lord's words, Xu Yuan also briefly summarized the information he had provided.

The current known situation was:

There were seven power tiers in the Void, in order: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple.

The beings within these tiers were still in a consciousness state.

They could only gain a physical form through parasitism. But gaining the ability to parasitize required accumulating power—the stronger the consciousness entity, the more power it needed to accumulate.

Moreover, parasitism had restrictions.

The currently known information was that they could not parasitize Endermen.

Additionally, they seemed unable to enter the Main World through the Nether portals set up by players.

Otherwise, the Void wouldn't have waited until the Ender Dragon opened the air portal before issuing the mission.

Furthermore, the Dread Lord had also entered the Main World through the portal created by the Ender Dragon.

So the Ender Dragon was essentially the key for those Void consciousness entities to enter the Main World and search for hosts.

In other words, the powerful consciousness entities in the Void needed to meet two conditions in order to gain a body.

One, accumulate enough power to gain the ability to parasitize.

Two, enter the Main World for parasitism through the Ender Dragon's portal.

Only by fulfilling these two conditions could they truly pose a threat to Xu Yuan.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan still had one more question.

"Can you not parasitize players?"

Previously, after the game update, players had realized how useful Ender Pearls were. Many players had gone to the End to farm Endermen.

Xu Yuan was also worried that players might be parasitized.

After all, if parasitism on players were possible, then the Void wouldn't need to look for the Ender Dragon.

Players could enter the Main World through Nether portals.

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Dread Lord shook his head.

"No, they do not belong to this world. We can only parasitize the creatures native to this world."

After the Dread Lord finished speaking, Xu Yuan finally understood.

If that was the case, Xu Yuan felt a little relieved. That meant, for now, Xu Yuan held in his hands the key to the Void's entry into the Main World.

As long as he protected the Ender Dragon, Xu Yuan wouldn't have to worry about those Void beings invading for the time being.

This way, Xu Yuan had enough time to grow stronger. When he had enough power, he could then use the key to open this door.

It had to be said, the Dread Lord had indeed provided Xu Yuan with a lot of useful information.

Although Xu Yuan still didn't know what exactly the Void beings were, he at least had a general understanding of the Void.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan continued to ask the Dread Lord.

"Do you know why they fear me?"

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Dread Lord shook his head.

"I don't know..."

The Dread Lord's answer did not surprise Xu Yuan.

After all, he was only at the purple tier and had only come into contact with the most superficial aspects.

Xu Yuan looked at the Dread Lord kneeling before him. Having shared so much about the Void, he had more or less proven his loyalty.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked at the Dread Lord and raised his hand.

"Rise."

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Dread Lord finally let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that HIM had accepted him.

The Dread Lord stood up and glanced at Xu Yuan, his eyes hesitant as if he wanted to say something.

Xu Yuan immediately saw through the Dread Lord's thoughts.

"Speak."

The Dread Lord glanced at the Wither King, then turned his head to look at the Nether soldiers.

Then, he knelt down again.

"My king..."

"No matter what happens in the future, I will follow you. I have a small request. Can you consider it?"

As soon as the Dread Lord spoke, Null couldn't hold back.

"My king has already granted you power, and you still have demands?! You better know your place!"

Hearing Null's words, the Dread Lord seemed a little embarrassed.

He also knew that HIM had freed him from the Void's control and accepted him—he should already be grateful beyond measure.

But this request, he had to bring it up.

After hearing the Dread Lord's words, Xu Yuan raised his chin.

"Let's hear it."

Seeing that Xu Yuan was willing to listen, the Dread Lord was overjoyed. He composed himself and solemnly said.

"Please protect the Nether's people, protect the Nether..."

"They have already suffered too much..."

"If something truly irreversible happens in the future, at least let them have a place to stay..."

The reason the Dread Lord said this was because he knew very well that this world would inevitably face a great war in the future.

Just like the great war before the Three Kingdoms era.

But this coming war would be between the Void and HIM.

This battle would definitely affect many things.

He was willing to follow HIM and fight for HIM. But only if HIM could protect the people of the Nether and not let them lose their home again.

As soon as the Dread Lord finished speaking, the Wither King was stunned.

He never expected the Dread Lord to say such a thing. The one who had been scorned as a traitor by the Nether and the Wither race for years was now thinking about the Nether and its people.
