Chapter 127: Chapter 127:- Capture The Ender Dragon!
Seeing the Enderman looking at him, Entity 303 immediately felt a kind of invisible sense of oppression.
The last time he felt such pressure was when he encountered HIM.
"What do you want me to do to thank you?"
Hearing Entity 303's words, the Enderman smiled and said, "Courtesy demands reciprocity. I helped you, so I also hope you can help me with something."
Hearing this, Entity 303 frowned and said, "What do you need?"
Seeing Entity 303's expression, the Enderman smiled, comforting him, "Don't worry, it's nothing difficult."
"It's just that our End's... guardian, the Ender Dragon, has gone missing. Can you help me bring it back?"
Hearing this, Entity 303 furrowed his brows. Entity 303, of course, knew the whereabouts of the Ender Dragon.
The Ender Dragon was with HIM.
If he agreed to help this Enderman, it would undoubtedly mean going against HIM.
Entity 303 already harbored resentment toward HIM. If not for HIM, he wouldn't have been fired.
However, the officials had said they removed HIM, and with the appearance of a heaven-defying GM like Rookie, Entity 303 couldn't be sure if HIM still existed in this game world.
Although the Enderman's request didn't conflict with his revenge plans, Entity 303 felt the deal wasn't worthwhile.
The Enderman only guided him, yet for reciprocity, Entity 303 might have to face HIM.
This clearly benefited the Enderman.
Thinking of this, Entity 303 said, "The help you provided was just guidance. For reciprocity, I'll guide you in return. I can locate its position and directly give you the coordinates. You go find it yourself."
Entity 303 naturally didn't want to suffer a loss.
Although retrieving the Ender Dragon didn't conflict with his plans to settle the score with HIM, Entity 303 didn't want to let the Enderman benefit too much.
Hearing Entity 303's words, the Enderman was visibly surprised. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If I could leave the Void, I wouldn't have to trouble you."
After saying this, the Enderman somehow pulled out something resembling an Eye of Ender and handed it to Entity 303.
He then continued, "Consider this as my payment. Once the task is done, I'll give you something even better."
Entity 303 looked at the Eye of Ender in his hand, noting it bore no markings.
Although it resembled an Eye of Ender, there were some differences.
An Eye of Ender was bluish-green, but this one was red.
It didn't appear to be game data.
"What is this?"
Seeing this, the Enderman explained, "This is a valuable item. It can absorb power and create a domain of its own."
Entity 303, intrigued, asked, "A domain?"
The Enderman nodded and explained, "In this domain, you can control everything. Words won't do it justice. You'll understand when you experience it."
As Entity 303 toyed with the Eye of Ender, locking eyes with it, his mind suddenly felt like it had been electrified.
At this moment, his entire demeanor changed, as if he had gone into a trance. He repeatedly muttered a few sentences.
"Kill HIM... capture the Ender Dragon..."
"Kill HIM... capture the Ender Dragon..."
Seeing Entity 303's state, the Enderman finally revealed a satisfied smile. He leaned toward Entity 303's ear and said, "Kill lifeforms. The Domain Eye will grant you power. Collect strength well."
"Bring me HIM's head and the Ender Dragon!"
After finishing, Entity 303 left the End.
Not long after Entity 303 departed, a fluctuation occurred in the Void.
It seemed to be communicating with the Enderman.
The Enderman, seeing this, spoke toward the Void.
"The Domain Eye is indeed rare, but if one Domain Eye can help us eliminate him, it's worth it."
After another series of fluctuations in the Void, the Enderman replied, "Don't worry, he won't lose control unless someone invades the Domain Eye's domain and destroys its core."
...
"The Dread King's strength doesn't compare to Entity 303, and we don't know if he's truly loyal to us, so we must prepare for contingencies."
...
"I know what you're worried about, but Entity 303 is significant to us. He can break the barrier between the End and the Overworld. We must utilize him properly."
"If he can complete the task, we'll consider recruiting him..."
After speaking to the Void, the Enderman's eyes returned to their original purple color.
It seemed something had been possessing the Enderman, causing this transformation.

Upon returning to the Overworld, Entity 303 no longer troubled the Eternal Guild.
At this moment, only one goal consumed his mind: kill HIM.
After arriving in the Overworld, Entity 303 seemed guided by something, immediately starting a rampage against various creatures.
With each life taken, Entity 303 could feel the Domain Eye absorbing a portion of power.
He finally understood what the Enderman meant.
With the Domain Eye, his main task now was to gather enough strength to obtain a domain.
Once he had that, facing HIM shouldn't be a problem.
———
After Entity 303 left the Eternal Guild's base, Rookie didn't pursue him deeply. Instead, he returned to the Eternal Guild's base and resumed his sightseeing and photo-taking mode.
As he enjoyed taking pictures, the game suddenly disconnected.
When he opened his eyes, he found Old Wu pulling him out of the game pod.
Old Wu had just returned from Mo Jiang's rental room but didn't find him.
Mo Jiang's room was layered with dust, yet the game pod was still open.
'This was already strange.'
Old Wu was about to leave when he happened to meet Mo Jiang's landlord.
The landlord said he had been messaging Mo Jiang to pay the rent, but there had been no reply.
Mo Jiang had never delayed paying rent before, and the landlord, fearing something might have happened, came to check.
The landlord's words further unsettled Old Wu. Old Wu and the landlord decided to call the police before returning.
The first thing Old Wu did upon returning was find Rookie.
The reason he forcibly pulled Rookie out of the game was because there were too many suspicious points.
He had to ask Rookie to get some clarity.
"Is Mo Jiang's issue resolved?"
Hearing Old Wu's question, Rookie blinked and said, "Huh? What issue?"
Hearing Rookie's response, Old Wu decided not to ask further.
Rookie's thoughts were always whimsical. Asking him too much was less practical than checking his game logs.
Old Wu went directly to Rookie's game pod and began reviewing all his actions in the game.
About ten minutes later, Old Wu finally emerged from the game pod. His face was much grimmer than when he went in.
"This... how is this possible?!"
After reviewing all the logs, two points puzzled him.
The first was that Mo Jiang wasn't a data intrusion.
Old Wu knew this because the moment Rookie entered the game and encountered Entity 303, he performed a data scan.
But no code was detected. Just like when Mo Jiang scanned HIM before.
In other words, the current Entity 303, like HIM, had become a product of the game's origin!
But Entity 303 was clearly Mo Jiang himself.
How could he become a product of the game's origin?!
If this were true, then there was only one possibility.
