Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

Chapter 623 - 623: Endless Slaughter!!

When the real HIM learned two pieces of information, that the Void was becoming restless and that killing could grant power, that new world had actually already quietly given birth to living beings with self-awareness.At the same time, many players experienced all kinds of changes in that world. Some of them chose to join Xu Yuan and became zombie players under his command.

But at this time, Xu Yuan's attention had already gradually shifted away from killing.

He was at a critical point of "transformation." His role and position were undergoing subtle changes.

The Xu Yuan of the past was closer to the image of a Demon King and a villain. Wherever he went, slaughter would follow.

As time passed, more and more people gathered around Xu Yuan. He gradually became someone many people relied on and believed in. He was no longer merely a terrifying existence, but a leader upon whom many hopes were placed.

The various bonds formed between him and those around him brought major changes to his mindset as well.

Later, he discovered the existence of the Void and realized how dangerous they were, causing his goals to change as well.

It was precisely because Xu Yuan's focus had undergone such a major shift that the real HIM found himself caught in a dilemma.

From the moment he parted ways with the Ender Queen and the others, the real HIM had been searching for the truth of the world and for a power capable of defeating Notch.

As for the truth of the world, judging from that mysterious region filled with lines and everything the real HIM experienced after arriving there, he seemed to have already found some important clues.

But regarding a way to obtain the power needed to defeat Notch, the real HIM had never found the slightest lead.

Therefore, when he suddenly learned that killing could grant power, the first thought that appeared in his mind was to gather enough power to recreate the previous world and bring those former beings back to his side.

That was the first thought that surfaced in the real HIM's mind.

It was also the only motivation that had kept him going until now.

He had endured all this time with the goal of saving that previous world, and now he had finally seen a glimmer of hope.

After this thought appeared in his mind, two important questions followed.

First, how should the old world and the new world be handled?

If he truly could obtain enough power, truly recreate the old world, and save those beings, then where should the recreated world be placed? And how should those former beings be settled?

Could the old world simply be merged with this new one? That was obviously impossible.

In the old world, those beings who had originally been set up to hate one another had long abandoned those baseless grudges and lived together in harmony.

But this brand-new world was still in chaos. The relationships between players and beings, and between beings themselves, remained tense and hostile.

It was easy to imagine that forcibly merging the two worlds would only make things even more chaotic.

After all, there were huge differences and contradictions between them. Achieving a perfect fusion would not be easy.

Even taking a huge step back, even if a method could be found to perfectly merge the two worlds, the real HIM would still be unwilling to try.

Because this brand-new world gave him absolutely no sense of belonging.

Once, he had personally watched the world he loved collapse before his eyes. The desperate cries of the beings as they fell into the Void still echoed in his ears and refused to fade.

At that time, faced with such a tragic scene, he could do nothing but watch it happen.

Because of that, he neither wanted nor dared to form any connection with any person or thing in this new world.

Without connections, there would naturally be no sense of belonging.

At this moment, all he wanted was to focus on the old world. But the problem was that if he wanted to save that old world, he had to step into this new one.

This led to the second important question, should he personally step in and take Xu Yuan's place?

Since killing could grant power, the real HIM naturally needed the accumulation of enough lives if he wanted enough power.

But Xu Yuan's focus was no longer on killing, so the speed at which the real HIM could obtain power would undoubtedly be affected.

If the Void were not a threat, the real HIM could wait patiently. If it meant being reunited with the former world, he would not care even if he had to wait another ten years.

But reality would not give him that much time. The Void had already begun to stir, and this gave the real HIM a pressure he had never felt before.

He knew very well that the rule that killing granted power would eventually be discovered by the Void.

Once the Void broke through the seal, if the real HIM still did not possess enough power to defeat them, then all the effort he had put in until now would become meaningless.

This was absolutely not a result the real HIM wanted to see.

This was also the reason he began to consider personally stepping in and replacing Xu Yuan.

The real HIM understood Xu Yuan very well. He knew that once Xu Yuan made up his mind, he would pursue his goal unwaveringly and never give up easily.

Therefore, no matter what methods the real HIM used, whether threats, temptation, persuasion, or even attempts to alter the system's promotion mechanism, none of it could shake the goal Xu Yuan had already set for himself.

On Xu Yuan's path of pursuing power, he had indeed erased many lives.

The pleasure and power brought by killing surged through Xu Yuan like a powerful flood, but that flood never blinded his true self.

Although he felt his strength growing through slaughter, he was never carried away by that pleasure.

At that time, although Xu Yuan still did not know exactly what kind of existence he wanted to become, he knew one thing very clearly, he absolutely did not want to become a Demon King who only knew how to kill.

He had originally been an outsider. At first, he did not feel much attachment to this brand-new world.

But as time passed, during his growth, he gradually formed countless bonds with the beings of this new world.

Those bonds gave him a deeper understanding of the world and allowed him to develop a genuine sense of belonging to it.

He began to realize that this world was not merely a place where he obtained power. It was also the place where he lived, a space where he existed together with others. He wanted to protect the people around him. He wanted to protect this world.

Having already established such goals, he obviously had no desire to become a puppet that only knew how to kill.

It was precisely because he had witnessed Xu Yuan's growth and understood him so thoroughly that the real HIM knew that if he wanted to quickly obtain the power to defeat the Void and save those former beings, it seemed he had only one choice left...

To personally step in, take Xu Yuan's place, and then begin an endless slaughter...
