Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

Xu Yuan on this side was waiting for Peng Peng and the others to provide him with news of the Divine Realm competition. Yet he noticed abnormal movement on the shoal.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan controlled a clone to teleport to Peng Peng's location. Then he withdrew from Peng Peng's sight.

"Report to me immediately if there's any news." After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the shoal.

Xu Yuan turned around and glanced at the situation on the shoal, and he also gained a general understanding.

Eddie had obviously been discovered. The Ender Queen and the others had certainly coerced Eddie into leading them to the shoal.

Although Eddie had exposed his whereabouts, the task Xu Yuan had given him was completed quite well. By a twist of fate, he directly awakened the Ender Queen and brought her here.

This actually saved Xu Yuan quite a bit of trouble.

The only thing unknown for now was the purpose of the Ender Queen's visit.

While Xu Yuan was scrutinizing the Ender Queen and her group—

Null and the Dread Lord, upon seeing this, also moved closer to Xu Yuan. The two were just about to tell Xu Yuan what had happened here, but Xu Yuan raised his hand to stop them.

The Ender Queen's gaze had been fixed on HIM all along. Seeing HIM suddenly turn around and scrutinize her, she instantly felt an immense sense of oppression.

"So this is HIM…" The Ender Queen took a deep breath, calmed her emotions slightly, then looked at HIM and spoke.

"Our purpose in coming this time is to reclaim what originally belonged to us."

Even though HIM's oppressive presence was directly pressing upon her, the Ender Queen still withstood the pressure. After all, as the ruler of the End, she could not lose her dignity.

Upon hearing the Ender Queen's words, Xu Yuan turned his head and glanced at the Execution Dragon behind him. He immediately understood the Ender Queen's purpose for seeking him out—it was most likely for this dragon.

However, the Ender Queen probably wasn't here for the Execution Dragon inside this Ender Dragon, but rather just for the Ender Dragon's body.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan chuckled and countered. "Yours?"

Hearing HIM's words, the Ender Queen's heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that HIM knew what the Ender Queen was referring to; otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at the Ender Dragon when she mentioned it.

But his response was unfriendly, clearly indicating that he had no intention of returning the Ender Dragon. Even though HIM's words already carried a hint of provocation—If it had been in the past, the Ender Queen would have already erupted in anger. But for the sake of the bigger picture, she forcefully endured it.

Seeing the Ender Queen holding back with great difficulty, the Dragon Prophet stepped forward and said to HIM, "The Ender Queen is referring to the Ender Dragon behind you."

"It originally belonged to our Ender Clan; it is the guardian of our End Isle. Perhaps due to some twist of fate, it ended up by your side."

"We hope you will return it."

As the Dragon Prophet spoke, he placed his hand on Eddie's shoulder and then continued.

"This one, I presume, is your subordinate. He was lost in the void, and we brought him back."

"Consider it a token of goodwill."

It must be said, the Dragon Prophet understood the art of conversation.

Eddie was clearly their hostage, yet he managed to frame it as if Eddie had gotten lost and was rescued by them.

However, the Dragon Prophet's meaning was already quite clear—he was suggesting a hostage exchange. It was just that, out of consideration for HIM's immense power, he phrased it more tactfully.

Hearing the Dragon Prophet's words, Xu Yuan merely chuckled. He found a place to sit, leaned against the sand blocks behind him, and looked at the Ender Queen and her group with a playful expression, saying—

"What if I don't return it?"

Seeing HIM's disdainful gestures and playful expression, the Ender Queen's temper flared up instantly.

Her hand was already reaching for the greatsword on her back, but the Last Dancer behind her pressed it down. The Last Dancer gave the Ender Queen a look and shook his head meaningfully.

Seeing this, the Ender Queen let out a long sigh and finally withdrew her hand from the sword.

After hearing HIM's words, the Dragon Prophet was not angered either. He was well aware that HIM was in a superior position while they were at a disadvantage.

The fact that HIM was even willing to talk with them peacefully at this moment was already showing them respect.

Just now, the Dragon Prophet had merely been testing HIM's temperament. From what he saw now, HIM did not seem to be a violent person.

The Dragon Prophet's earlier words had been dancing on the edge of danger.

Even though he had softened the suggestion of a hostage exchange, it was still a suggestion. If HIM were a ruthless tyrant, he probably would have already attacked. But he didn't. Although his words were provocative, his inaction meant there was still room for negotiation.

Thinking of this, the Dragon Prophet pondered for a moment before saying, "I can sense that your power is immense, and the Ender Dragon should not be of much significance to you."

"But to us, this Ender Dragon is indeed very important. If you are willing to return it, the End will be forever grateful."

To avoid conflict, the Dragon Prophet even lowered his status considerably.

Hearing the Dragon Prophet's words, both the Ender Queen and the Last Dancer felt somewhat aggrieved.

As the End's Observers, they had never lowered themselves like this before. But they also understood that doing so was their only chance to reclaim the Ender Dragon.

If a fight broke out, they would lose not just the Ender Dragon but also their own lives. Perhaps it might even affect the people of the End.

After hearing the Dragon Prophet's words, Xu Yuan simply smiled and turned to the Dread Lord. "Why does this sound so familiar?"

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Dread Lord's old face flushed red. He scratched the back of his head and said, "It does sound familiar…"

The Dread Lord looked at the Ender Queen and her group and said, "I, for one, have said similar words to my king before."

"But my people in the Nether did not merely express gratitude to my king; they swore undying loyalty. If you truly want the Ender Dragon, why not follow my example?"

The Dread Lord naturally knew that HIM would never return the Ender Dragon. He also clearly understood the importance of the Ender Queen.

Since he had chosen to follow HIM, he was now on the opposite side of the void.

If the Ender Queen were to pledge allegiance to HIM, then HIM would essentially hold the key to the void's invasion of the Overworld.

The initiative would be in HIM's hands.

That was why the Dread Lord made such a suggestion. After all, with HIM's power, dealing with the Ender Queen and her two companions would be easy.

HIM definitely wouldn't kill the Ender Queen—he would find a way to control her. Perhaps, in the future, the Ender Queen and her people would become part of the Undead Legion.

The Dread Lord did not mind giving them some advice to spare them some suffering.

Compared to Null, who had never experienced the world, the Dread Lord was much more tactful.

When the Dragon Prophet heard the Dread Lord's words, he was momentarily stunned.

Although he had seen both the Dread Lord and the Wither King here, he had not expected the entire Nether to have already pledged allegiance to HIM.

He understood the meaning behind the Dread Lord's words.

He was suggesting they surrender.

If not for those words spoken by that consciousness in the Void, the surrender before them was indeed the optimal solution.

But at present, Dragon Prophet and the others still did not know the truth or falsehood of the words of that consciousness in the Void.

Moreover, Dragon Prophet had also confirmed that it was HIM who erased the memories of the Ender Queen. The HIM before them, to them, might be an enemy.

Before uncovering the truth of the matter, how could they possibly surrender to someone who might be an enemy? Where would the dignity of the entire End be then?

Thinking of this, Dragon Prophet glanced at HIM.

Seeing that HIM did not refute the words of the Dread Lord, Dragon Prophet also understood HIM's intent.

HIM had tacitly approved the words of the Dread Lord. This somewhat surprised Dragon Prophet.

But it also proved that HIM probably did not intend to take their lives.

What puzzled Dragon Prophet, however, was that if HIM was really as that consciousness in the Void had said—massacring the people of the End, erasing the memories of the Ender Queen, and seizing the Ender Dragon—

Then why, at this moment, was he inclined to have them surrender? Since his hatred for the End was so great, why would he spare the three of them?

Moreover, even if HIM believed that the Ender Queen no longer remembered past events,

Since the Ender Queen had come so abruptly, if he wanted her to surrender, he should at least probe about past matters to confirm whether the Ender Queen truly did not remember, before considering the matter of surrender.

Yet from the moment he saw the three of them, HIM had not uttered a single word about the past.

Was he that confident in himself? Someone whose memory he had erased suddenly appeared before him, and he wasn't the least bit curious?

Though his strength was indeed formidable, such actions seemed a bit too careless.

Thinking of this, Dragon Prophet pondered for a moment.

Naturally, he did not wish for battle. Since they were already face-to-face with HIM, and the current situation was already very awkward.
