Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

So, the things that Xu Yuan entrusted him to do, he would definitely go all out.

"You go to the Void and help me gather information about the Ender Queen."

After hearing Xu Yuan's words, Eddie couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. "Ender Queen?"

Eddie had followed Xu Yuan ever since he gained self-awareness. He was an Enderman born in the Overworld.

Although he knew that he belonged to the Ender race and had also learned about the End from his companions, he had never been there himself, so naturally, he had never heard of the Ender Queen.

Seeing that Eddie was unfamiliar with the name "Ender Queen," Xu Yuan briefly told him about where she might be and her characteristics.

"She lives in the End City. You should be able to inquire about her once you get to the Void."

"She has purple hair, a pair of purple eyes, and her weapon is a large obsidian blade."

"When you meet her, do not act recklessly. Come back and report to me immediately."

"..."

After speaking, Xu Yuan took off the pumpkin head that Eddie was wearing.

That thing was too conspicuous to bring into the End. Then, he reminded him again.

"Remember, once you're in the End, you're just an ordinary Enderman. Hide your identity and secretly gather information about the Ender Queen."

"Do not expose yourself!"

Seeing Xu Yuan's serious expression, Eddie knew the importance of this mission. He quickly nodded in agreement.

"Rest assured, my king! I will complete the mission!"

After speaking, Eddie took one last reluctant glance at his pumpkin head in Xu Yuan's hand before leaving.

Watching Eddie's departing figure, Xu Yuan felt a bit worried. He wasn't afraid that Eddie would mess things up—his main concern was Eddie's safety.

Although Eddie had grown very strong, this time, he would be facing the Ender Queen and those entities in the Void.

If he got exposed, it would still be very dangerous.

However, Xu Yuan had no other choice. If he went to the End himself, his presence would definitely be detected.

Sending Eddie was the best solution for now.

———

After Eddie left, Xu Yuan also found a place to sit down and began organizing the order of the things he needed to do next.

Right now, the biggest threat to Xu Yuan was the Void.

The key to opening the passage between the Void and the Overworld, besides the Execution Dragon attached to the Ender Dragon, was also the Ender Queen.

Xu Yuan had already sent Eddie to find the whereabouts of the Ender Queen. This matter was out of his hands for now—he could only wait for Eddie's news.

Although he could only wait for information, Xu Yuan couldn't just sit idly by.

He had to prepare for the worst.

That would be if the Void found or controlled the Ender Queen before he did. If that happened, the Void would also have the key to opening the Overworld.

At that point, an all-out war would be inevitable.

However, the Void likely wouldn't go all in immediately. After all, the Dread Lord had mentioned that they needed to gather power to gain parasitic abilities.

The stronger the target, the more power they needed. In the short term, the Void shouldn't be able to gather enough power for the Red-tier to gain parasitic abilities.

So Xu Yuan still had quite a bit of preparation time.

Even though there was still time, he had to start considering preparations for war. The Void contained many consciousness entities—it wasn't just a matter of one or two enemies.

And even the lowest-tier entities in the Void were as powerful as the Dread Lord.

If the Void made another move, it probably wouldn't be like now, where they sent invaders one by one.

Next time, it was likely that the entire Purple-tier would attack at once, or even stronger entities could be sent.

Xu Yuan could handle Purple-tier entities, but for those above Purple-tier, he had no confidence.

Therefore, strengthening himself was the most important thing right now. Beyond that, Xu Yuan also had to train his subordinates.

This battle was definitely not going to be Xu Yuan's fight alone.

If the Void sent multiple enemies, even if Xu Yuan himself could handle them, he wouldn't be able to protect his subordinates.

His subordinates were all fiercely loyal.

If a battle really broke out, they would definitely not stay out of it. They would undoubtedly join the fight.

Xu Yuan naturally didn't want the undead army he had painstakingly recruited to be wiped out by the Void. So, he had to train them well so that they could hold their own.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan glanced at his subordinates, who were getting along "harmoniously."

007 was happily wagging its tail while gnawing on the Dread Lord's right arm. The Dread Lord, Wither King, and Null were chatting, seemingly having a "great time."

Only the Execution Dragon was relatively quiet, coiled up in a corner, basking in the sunlight while napping.

Seeing that none of them had any sense of crisis, Xu Yuan couldn't help but hold his forehead.

At this moment, he truly understood the burdens of being the head of the family.

Everything rested on Xu Yuan's shoulders alone.

But in a way, this also showed that Xu Yuan was a capable leader. It was precisely because of his strength that his subordinates could live so carefree.

However, if they truly wanted to live without worries, they had to deal with the Void's threats first.

Training them wouldn't be too difficult.

Null and the Dread Lord both derived their power from Fear Energy. Xu Yuan could convert the Fear Points he obtained into Fear Energy and grant it to them.

But they also needed more combat experience, which was easy to arrange.

Xu Yuan decided to implement a reward system.

Null and the Dread Lord would spar against each other. The winner would receive Fear Energy from Xu Yuan, which would encourage their growth.

Compared to them, the Execution Dragon was much less troublesome—she could restore her strength on her own without much external assistance.

The ones that gave Xu Yuan a headache were 007 and the Wither King.

Those two were like a pair of useless geniuses.

007 had been with Xu Yuan for a long time, mainly as a companion.

Now, there was another one just like him—the Wither King.

Xu Yuan estimated that their strength was about equal. Or perhaps, the Wither King was slightly stronger than 007, considering he could fly.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Yuan decided to let the Dread Lord train the Wither King.

Since they were of the same kind, they understood each other well and could find ways to help the Wither King grow stronger.

As for 007, after much deliberation, Xu Yuan decided to have 007 lead the zombie player squad that Peng Peng belonged to.

007 was currently still at the advanced consciousness stage. If he could reach full self-awareness, his strength would likely soar.

To reach full self-awareness, he needed to kill a million players.

Since Peng Peng and his group frequently invaded player bases, the ones willing to be infected could be handled by Peng Peng, while the unwilling ones could be killed by 007.

Additionally, by following Peng Peng, 007 could help gather intelligence on players. This would give Xu Yuan an extra source of information.

With this decision made, Xu Yuan stood up and faced his subordinates.

Seeing him approach, they all stopped messing around.

Xu Yuan explained his plan to them. Hearing Xu Yuan's arrangements, some were happy, while others were not.

Null and the Dread Lord were absolutely thrilled. They had been subtly competing all along and were itching for a proper showdown.

Now, they could fight openly, and the winner would even receive Xu Yuan's reward.

The Wither King was also pleased. Though he disliked Null, he acknowledged that he had lost in their last fight.

He was eager to improve, and with the Dread Lord's help, his progress would likely be fast.

On the other hand, 007 was a little unhappy. He had been with Xu Yuan for so long, and now they had to part ways again.

But he also understood that he was the weakest among them. Despite being with Xu Yuan for so long, he had never been given any major tasks.

He, too, wanted to grow stronger.

None of the subordinates objected to Xu Yuan's orders.

They all knelt before him in unison.

"Yes!"

"Rest assured, my king! We will train diligently!"

While Xu Yuan was conversing with his subordinates, on the game forum, an official announcement caused the entire forum to explode.
