As the purple aura was fully absorbed by the Blade of the War God, the Wither's body also gradually began to dissipate, and Steve, standing on the Wither's head, instantly fell due to losing support.
Just before landing, Steve skillfully placed a bucket of water to land smoothly. As soon as Steve landed, the Blade of the War God in his hand suddenly began to tremble.
'Is it because it absorbed that purple aura?…'
While Steve was thinking, he suddenly felt darkness in front of his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a boundless space.
In the space floated various items, blocks, weapons, etc. Around these items was a layer of shimmering halo, seemingly resonating with each other.
"Where is this place?…"
Steve was a bit dazed, and just as he was about to explore this space, his vision darkened again.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still standing in the original place.
'Wh-what's going on?! What was that just now?…"'
While Steve was thinking about what that space was, he was interrupted by the Nirvana Guild players who rushed over.
Although the players did not arrive at the scene immediately, Steve was not far from them.
Just now, the scene where Steve one-shot killed the Wither was also seen by the guild players.
"Boss is awesome!! Directly one-shot killed the Wither!!"
"I just blinked, and the Wither's health bar was empty?!"
"Hiss… As expected of a divine weapon, this is too amazing, right?!"
The players excitedly, in one go, all gathered around.
One must know, the players, for a long period of time, had been at the bottom of the food chain in this world. The players, more or less, had all lost some confidence. And at this moment, Steve's action of instantly killing the Wither, undoubtedly brought hope to the players.
Previously, after Steve obtained the divine weapon, there had been no movement. The players also were not clear about the actual strength of the divine weapon.
Moreover, earlier when HIM returned the divine weapon to Steve, it also made the players somewhat doubt the strength of the divine weapon.
But after this battle, the players became even more expectant of the next God's Domain Competition.
Seeing the players one by one so excited, Steve also did not think much more. The space he just saw was probably related to the purple aura he had just absorbed.
Thinking of this, Steve also once again raised the God of War Blade in his hand and said to everyone, "Let's go, let's go support the guild players!"
At this moment, the players in the live broadcast room, after seeing the scene of Steve solo-killing the Wither, were all greatly inspired.
[Although we don't have the divine weapon, just now Big Bro Steve personally demonstrated using TNT to punish the Wither, TNT is effective!!]
[Our side is already preparing to execute, some people will hold off the Wither, then others will hide and build a redstone cannon!! Today we must definitely take down the Wither!!]
[I personally just experimented with Big Bro Steve's face-riding tactic using Ender Pearls, I want to say it's really freaking brilliant!! After riding the face, the Wither couldn't hit me anymore!! Just that without the divine weapon, the damage feels a bit like scratching an itch...]
[Is that for real? So even without a divine weapon we can fight the Wither?!]
[Of course it's real, don't underestimate us players' strength okay, we win with numbers and strength in unity, just think more, as long as the gap in hard strength isn't too huge, we can handle it!]
Although the Wither was killed by the God of War Blade, the players also saw from Steve's various maneuvers the endless possibilities of the player faction.
Quite a few players even voluntarily became lab rats, personally experimenting with Steve's various maneuvers.
They also discovered that, apart from not being able to bounce back the Wither skulls with weapons like Steve, all the other maneuvers could be replicated.
This also proved that, even without a divine weapon, the Wither could be killed.
Although the players did not know that these Withers' strength was that of the void's purple consciousness body, they were not fools, naturally able to see that these Withers were not ordinary Withers.
Their strength was also not weak. And at this very moment, they could injure the Wither even without divine weapons, even kill the Wither.
This, for the players, was undoubtedly a huge encouragement. They finally realized that the player faction was not weak at all.
[Damn it, can't hold back anymore, is there any team recruiting people? I want to go rave dance on the Wither's head!!]
[As long as you have a health bar, we'll show you how we kill! This is the players!!!]
[Feels like we've underestimated our own strength before, always thinking we couldn't beat anything we encountered, didn't dare to fight, but thinking about it, what's there to fear? We can revive infinitely!!]
[I feel even if Big Bro Steve didn't have the divine weapon, he would still think of ways to face the fight, players' creativity is infinite! The only thing limiting our strength is our mindset!!]
[Well said! If we run into this kind of situation again, I'll never be a coward again! We must stand up!!]
Through various experiments by the players, the players also gradually found confidence from these Withers. Their mindset slowly changed too.
Before, encountering powerful monsters, they only thought of running away or giving up, never thinking they could contend.
But now, they realized one thing, what limited their strength was not their identity as players, but their mindset.
Quite a few players, after this battle, suddenly became enlightened. And the players' enlightenment was greatly beneficial to the current world situation.
Players' enlightenment meant the rise of the player faction. Plus, with the future God's Domain Competitions' various divine weapons' blessings, the player faction would undoubtedly become a very powerful force.
If the player faction could rise rapidly, maybe in the future, they would also become an existence giving the void a headache.
After all, the void's consciousness body couldn't parasitize on the players.
Steve also served as a good leading example.
Not long after he wiped out the Wither, many players voluntarily organized themselves to start encircling and suppressing the Wither.
Inspired by Steve, the players made full use of everything, thinking of various ways to deal with the Wither.
Some tried to use iron chains to lock the Wither. Some tried to catalyze super thick trees under the Wither to try and jam its position. Some used Ender Pearls to fly onto the Wither's head to stab its three pairs of eyes. Some even held stone cutters in both hands, trying to cut off the Wither's three heads...
This battle also sparked a wave of experimental frenzy among the players.
And the Withers fused with the purple consciousness body became the lab rats.
Although the players, disregarding death, experimenting on the Wither, indeed allowed the void to harvest a wave of kill counts.
On the surface, it seemed like the players fell into the void's trap, with the void earning a huge haul. But the void probably could only profit this once.
With this experience, the players would undergo earth-shattering changes. Sacrificing some kill counts, in exchange for the rise of the entire faction, this business deal was undoubtedly a sure win.
After all, the battle with the void had just lifted its curtain.
———
Through the joint efforts of the Demon King Army and the players, the void's first attack on the main world finally came to an end.
The entire battle lasted more than eight hours.
Actually, the members of the Demon King Army finished their assigned tasks in less than ten minutes. The remaining time was basically all players fighting those Withers.
Seeing the battle concluded successfully, Notch, who had been observing the battle's progress inside the game, finally let out a breath of relief.
Just as he was preparing to log off to hold a meeting to draft a compensation plan for the players, he suddenly saw Rookie appear in front of him.
Notch was somewhat curious why Rookie came into the game to find him, only to see Rookie take out from his backpack a glowing blue Ender Eye, and then handed it to Notch.
"This is the core of that Wither Storm, right?..."
Notch had watched Rookie's live stream, and had personally seen Rookie take this thing out after which the Wither Storm disintegrated.
So this glowing blue Ender Eye must be the core of the Wither Storm.
Rookie nodded, face full of excitement, saying, "This thing is amazing! There's no way to destroy it!"
"I tried using lava, also tried using code, but couldn't destroy it!"
Rookie had also participated in the design of the Wither Storm MOD. This was also why he was interested in this blue Ender Eye.
After getting this blue Ender Eye, Rookie had been playing with it in his hands, trying to find the energy source of this blue Ender Eye or something like that. After all, it was the core of the Wither Storm.
But after busying for a long time, got nothing, so he brought the blue Ender Eye to Notch.
Hearing Rookie's words, Notch was not surprised. "This thing probably only looks similar to an Ender Eye in appearance. Things generated in-game, not code, naturally cannot be destroyed."
Hearing Notch's reply, Rookie nodded and said, "Seems like that makes sense... Then can this thing be used again? There's no way to know if its energy source is depleted or not..."
"If it can be used again, that would be so cool!! Then can we try putting it into the God's Domain Competition to let players challenge it?!"
"Speaking of the God's Domain Competition, I really want to go in and play too, I think I remember the next opening time is the day after tomorrow, right?!"
"By the way!! The salted fish greatsword I designed really can't be implemented? That thing is so cool!! By then we can even invite Entity 303 to endorse it!"
"Right right! Let me recommend you a takeout place near the company, they sell paper-wrapped fish, it's absolutely amazing! Especially the potatoes in the side dishes!! Ah... mouthwatering...."
"Speaking of potatoes I get angry, I ordered spicy hot pot the day before yesterday, and the potatoes were in chunks! Chunky potatoes shouldn't appear in spicy hot pot?!!! Entity 303's taste is really too bad! That's still his favorite restaurant!!"
"How can anyone hate fish? Fish are both cute and delicious! Really can't understand..."
"..."
Rookie chattered on for a long time, Notch directly muted his voice.
After Rookie finally almost finished talking, Notch found a gap and interrupted.
"Alright! Shut up! Log off and go to the meeting!!"
Rookie was still not satisfied, but hearing Notch's words, suddenly remembered his purpose for entering the game.
He was here to call Notch to the meeting, but after entering the game, he completely forgot about it.
Thinking of this, Rookie slapped his forehead and said, "I remembered! I came to call you to the meeting. Everyone's still waiting for you."
This kind of thing Rookie had already done more than once. The executives of Zero Point Company had long been annoyed with Rookie, but unfortunately, Notch only allowed Rookie alone to enter his office.
So every time the company executives wanted to call Notch, they had no choice but to find Rookie.
But Rookie, out of ten times, at least eight times would forget his mission.
Almost every time, it was Notch who reminded him before he realized his original task. This also caused the company executives to wait at least over an hour every time for Notch to attend a meeting...
Seeing that he finally interrupted Rookie, Notch finally let out a breath of relief. "Let's go, let's go..."
Notch took the blue Ender Eye from Rookie's hand, just about to log off.
Suddenly felt that the blue Ender Eye in his hand instantly gave him a very strange feeling.
He couldn't quite tell what was strange, but always felt this thing seemed to have some connection with himself.
It was a kind of indescribable, very subtle feeling.
Notch suddenly froze. 'Clearly this is the first time touching this thing, why is there a feeling of familiarity?...'
