Chapter 136: Killing Them Is Too Much of a Pity

"Could it be... what they fear is the real HIM?..."

Although Xu Yuan was the HIM of this world, he was not the true Creator God HIM.

Even though his abilities were developing toward those of the Creator God HIM. But he was not truly HIM, or rather, he had not yet become the true HIM.

So, did the real HIM exist in this world?

Null had also mentioned that the aura within the void was very ancient.

Much older than Xu Yuan's aura.

That meant they had been living in this world for a long time. Something must have happened in this world.

Perhaps the real HIM had once existed in this world.

That was why the beings of the void instinctively feared someone who looked like Xu Yuan.

"This world is really complicated..."

But all of this was just Xu Yuan's speculation. Figuring this out would probably be very difficult.

Because Null had said that the figure in the image was very blurry.

That meant that the Dread Lord had never seen it before. Even though that image existed in his subconscious, he had never actually seen it.

Just like the various color blocks that had previously appeared in the Ender Dragon's mind.

But no matter what, the Dread Lord could still provide Xu Yuan with some clues and information.

With that thought, Xu Yuan said to Null, "Let's go meet him."

Xu Yuan also learned from Null that the Wither King was with the Dread Lord. That was also why Xu Yuan brought Null along.

Null couldn't always just follow behind doing reconnaissance work—he had to fight sometimes to have some fun.

The Wither King was definitely not a match for Null, so Xu Yuan wasn't worried about his safety.

Hearing that Xu Yuan intended to fight, Null couldn't be more excited.

"Yes!!!"

Xu Yuan took Null and teleported instantly to the grassland where the Dread Lord and the Wither King were.

At this moment, the Dread Lord and the Wither King were ordering their monster minions to clean up the players of the Dragon Mark Guild.

The Dread Lord's power came from the power of fear.

He certainly had the ability to instantly kill players, but doing so would yield too little fear energy.

Torturing them slowly was much better.

The Dread Lord was enjoying the players' screams and wails when he suddenly felt a familiar presence behind him.

"He's here!"

———

The players of the Dragon Mark Guild were under attack by the monsters of the Nether.

Although these monsters were all from the Nether, perhaps because they followed the Dread Lord and the Wither King,

Their strength was far superior to ordinary Nether creatures.

Moreover, these monsters had a twisted sense of humor.

They wouldn't kill players immediately; instead, they would fight them for a while, give them a glimmer of hope, and then kill them.

As if toying with the players. The players of the Dragon Mark Guild were suffering unbearably.

Just as they were falling into despair, they suddenly noticed that these monsters had stopped moving.

They were all gathering toward the other side of the grassland.

Following the direction the monsters were moving, the Dragon Mark Guild players finally understood why the monsters had retreated.

"Floating in the sky over there... If I'm not mistaken… that's HIM, right?!"

"Even though we can't see clearly… those glowing white eyes are visible from far away. It should be HIM…"

"Huh? Why are there two pairs of glowing white eyes?..."

"The lookout player said the other one seems to be HIM's little follower."

"Why is HIM here? Could he be planning to fight that seaweed skeleton?!"

"Judging by the aura… it seems like it..."

"..."

After Null escaped earlier, the Dread Lord had once again set his sights on attacking the players' base.

The lookout players streaming the battle were quickly killed, and the broadcast was cut off.

Even though the stream was interrupted, many players were still in the stream chat.

After all, to the players, the seaweed skeleton and the white-eyed black coalball were new faces.

They were eager to figure out which factions these two new monsters belonged to.

While the players were discussing, they suddenly noticed that the stream had resumed.

On the screen, the grassland was completely covered by armies of Nether monsters, stretching endlessly into the horizon.

The Dread Lord stood at the forefront of the army, while the Wither King hovered beside him, flapping his massive wings.

Opposite them, floating in mid-air, were HIM and Null.

Neither side had made a move yet, but the tension in the air was so thick it could be felt even through the screen.

The players in the stream immediately dropped what they were doing and found a safe place to watch.

"The small bench, sunflower seeds, drinks, and mineral water are ready!"

"Holy crap? Holy crap?! HOLY CRAP?! Is this about to start?!!"

"Wasn't the seaweed skeleton supposed to be HIM's subordinate? Is HIM here to clean house?"

"That seaweed skeleton has been active for a while, but we still haven't seen him fight. No idea how strong he is."

"He did attack our guild once. He can summon massive Wither skulls to bombard the area. The blocks near the explosions start to decay. His power is pretty terrifying..."

"No matter how strong he is, I feel like he loses to HIM in sheer presence. Not cool at all."

"Alright, alright, place your bets! I'm betting on HIM to win!"

The players hadn't seen a battle of this level in a long time.

And they hadn't seen HIM truly fight in a while either.

Though HIM had been active recently, infecting players only took a blink of an eye—he never had to use his real strength.

Now that they finally had a chance to see HIM in action, the players were eager to witness his true power.

———

HIM and Null hovered in the air, looking down at the Dread Lord and the Wither King.

Null was already itching to fight.

"My lord..."

"Let me deal with these trash?"

Although Null knew he wasn't as strong as the Dread Lord, he just found him unbearable—these two were natural enemies.

Seeing Null's eagerness, Xu Yuan naturally understood what he was thinking. But he wasn't about to let Null take such a risk.

"You play with the winged one."

"Remember, don't kill him."

Xu Yuan had brought Null here to let him have some fun. With Null's strength, he could play around with the Wither King.

Xu Yuan was just worried that if Null got carried away, he might accidentally kill the Wither King.

The Wither King wasn't part of the Undead Legion, but he was still HIM's subordinate.

His strength should be about the same as the Death Knight's.

The Death Knight had joined the Undead Legion mainly for companionship, being one of HIM's earliest followers.

Hearing Xu Yuan's orders, Null was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to disobey.

"Understood!"

After receiving his task, Null didn't act rashly without Xu Yuan's command.

The Dread Lord had seen HIM and Null talking.

He had been through many battles. Even though he hadn't heard their conversation, he understood HIM's intent.

The Dread Lord looked at HIM hovering in the air, his eyes filled with envy.

"Damn it… just a little more time, and I would've gained the ability to fly!!"

The Dread Lord's power came from fear. He could absorb fear and turn it into strength.

He could fly, but he wasn't strong enough yet. That was part of why he had brought the Wither King along.

The Wither King could fly, and if they encountered an enemy early on, the Dread Lord didn't expect much combat power from him, but at least he could serve as a flying mount.

Now, however, HIM's intent was clear—he wanted a one-on-one fight. There was no way the Dread Lord could ask the Wither King for help now.

Sighing, he turned to the Wither King. "You handle that black coalball."

The Wither King and Null exchanged glances and instantly moved west, leaving the battlefield to HIM and the Dread Lord.

Xu Yuan saw the situation, looked at the large number of Nether monsters below.

They seemed to be different from ordinary monsters, perhaps because of Dread Lord's reason, these monsters all had thinking ability.

"Killing them is too much of a pity."

If Xu Yuan wanted to kill them, it would just be a matter of raising his hand.

But Xu Yuan obviously did not want to do this, after all, he would inevitably subdue Dread Lord.

These monsters also still had their uses.
