Among this batch of Void Iron Golems who entered the Trial Grounds, the lead Void Iron Golem was basically the oldest one.
He had lived for a much longer time, so he had witnessed more things. Compared to the younger Void Iron Golems, he had deeper understanding and better thinking ability.
This accumulation made him start questioning the meaning of his own existence, and he gradually formed his own unique view of the world.
These questions had long been buried deep in his heart, like a seed waiting to sprout.
And Annoying Village HIM's words were like fertilizer, stimulating this seed's desire to grow, making it about to break through the soil.
However, Pocolo's comments just now were no longer something simple like fertilizer, they acted more like "pulling the sprouts to make them grow."
For the lead Iron Golem, his last bit of firm belief deep inside was his bond.
To the lead Void Iron Golem, the Void had given him life, so the Void was his "mother."
He couldn't betray "mother," couldn't go against "mother."
In the endless emptiness, loneliness, anxiety, and fear, this bond with the Void had become the last line of defense he clung to.
But when Pocolo said, "The Void doesn't even spare its own people," it was like an icy wind that instantly blew away all of his hope.
This was also why the lead Void Iron Golem dared to risk offending Annoying Village HIM and stepped forward to question Pocolo.
This was his last belief, and also his last line of defense.
———
The lead Void Iron Golem suddenly stepping out to question Pocolo was undoubtedly challenging Annoying Village HIM's authority.
After all, just moments ago he was still speaking with weird yin-yang sarcasm in front of Tyrant HIM, belittling Tyrant HIM and questioning his ability to command his subordinates, yet in such a short time, his own Void Iron Golem subordinate slapped him in the face by doing this.
Although Annoying Village HIM was a bit annoyed by the lead Void Iron Golem's behavior, he didn't speak to stop him.
Earlier, after talking with the lead Void Iron Golem, he could feel that the lead Void Iron Golem was already somewhat shaken.
But Annoying Village HIM had no way to continue persuading him.
After all, Annoying Village HIM didn't know much about the Void, and the lead Void Iron Golem basically never revealed his thoughts, actually, before this, the lead Void Iron Golem didn't even have any thoughts.
So Annoying Village HIM didn't really know what the lead Void Iron Golem truly cared about; he could only try to persuade him based on what he had observed.
But Annoying Village HIM wasn't anxious. The lead Void Iron Golem was already shaken, being persuaded was only a matter of time. Annoying Village HIM just needed to wait for the right moment to give him a push.
Annoying Village HIM never expected that this moment would come so quickly, and that he didn't even need to push at all.
Pocolo's words just now clearly touched the bottom line of the lead Void Iron Golem, which was why he stood up so agitated to question Pocolo.
Seeing this, Annoying Village HIM quietly stepped back a few steps, leaving the "stage" to the lead Void Iron Golem and Pocolo.
Seeing the lead Void Iron Golem step out angrily to confront him, and noticing that Annoying Village HIM seemed to have no intention of intervening, Pocolo, who had been nervous a moment ago, instantly relaxed a lot.
He had just managed to turn the tables on Annoying Village HIM; dealing with one Void Iron Golem was naturally nothing.
Pocolo shrugged, then put on an exaggeratedly shocked expression as he looked at the lead Void Iron Golem and said, "Oh? Did I slip up and say too much?"
Saying that, his face immediately shifted into a look of sudden realization, and then he continued, "Oh right!! After you all entered the Trial Grounds, you wouldn't know what's happening outside."
Pocolo's acting talent was fully displayed at this moment; he performed the phrase "a petty man who got a bit of power" to perfection.
But Pocolo's annoying attitude didn't anger the lead Void Iron Golem. At this moment, he had already completely ignored those things, he only wanted to know the answer.
The lead Iron Golem's expression was calm. His eyes stared firmly at Pocolo as he spoke in a deep voice, "Answer me!!"
"What do you mean by 'not even sparing their own people'?!!"
Seeing the lead Void Iron Golem's expression, Pocolo froze for a moment, and it seemed he realized something.
"Don't tell me… they really don't know?…"
As a player, Pocolo could leave the Trial Grounds while it was paused and go check the situation outside.
Right now, the main world had completely become Witherzilla's hunting ground.
Witherzilla would attack all living beings without any distinction, and of course the Void Iron Golems were no exception.
It wasn't something Pocolo witnessed personally; he saw it in a video on the forum.
Although previously there had never been a case of the Void's creations attacking each other, Pocolo didn't think this was anything surprising.
In his mind, what wouldn't the Void do? Let alone its creations killing each other?
Even though Pocolo had never seen this kind of situation before, he had already assumed long ago that the Void's creations definitely fought each other.
He thought this kind of thing must have already happened many times, and the Void's creations should all know about it.
So when Pocolo said that line, he had only intended to mock the Void Iron Golems a little.
But the reaction of the lead Iron Golem made Pocolo realize a problem, they might not know.
After thinking about this, Pocolo looked up at the lead Void Iron Golem. Seeing the complex emotions in his eyes, Pocolo was suddenly shocked.
"Good lord?…"
"Don't tell me they really can be persuaded?!!"
Thinking this, Pocolo immediately put away his "petty villain" attitude, looking at the lead Void Iron Golem with a serious expression as he answered, "Not long after you all entered the Trial Grounds, the Void created a Witherzilla."
"They say it's a yellow-level consciousness."
"That thing is like a lunat… anyway, it attacks every living being in the main world without distinction, and of course that includes your Iron Golem companions."
Saying this, Pocolo waved his hand to clarify, "This isn't something I guessed, and it's not something I made up. I saw the video with my own eyes."
Then he paused for a moment, as if worried the lead Void Iron Golem might not understand what "video" meant, and immediately explained, "A video is something we players use to record what's happening during an incident…"
"In short, this definitely happened. It's absolutely real. I have no reason to lie to you!"
