The corners of D's mouth slowly lifted as he murmured softly. At the same time, he gradually raised his arm, reaching toward Witherzilla, who was suspended high above the Nameless Land and continuously releasing immense power.
The moment D's fingers stretched out, Witherzilla suddenly felt an uncontrollable torrent of power erupting from within his body.
Those surging forces seemed to have found an outlet. They rapidly condensed into a dazzling, brilliant beam of light and shot like lightning straight toward where D was standing.
"What are you trying to do?!! Stop it right now!!" Witherzilla widened his eyes, staring at D in disbelief as he roared hoarsely.
His face twisted from extreme shock, and his eyes were filled with an unprecedented fear and panic.
Since descending into the world, he had never once felt as helpless and fragile as he did at this very moment.
This was also the first time in his life that he experienced his vitality draining away at an astonishing speed, as fear surged up from the depths of his heart like a tidal wave.
At this moment, the expression on Witherzilla's face, mixed with endless terror and dread as he looked at D, finally gave D's vain heart tremendous satisfaction.
Watching Witherzilla's state, a sly smile appeared on D's face as he said with a hint of mockery, "That's right, that's the expression."
"If you had shown such humble, cowardly fear the first time you saw me, maybe I would've been merciful and allowed you to cling to life for a little while longer."
As he said this, D deliberately put on a look of regret and continued, "What a shame."
"Who told you to be such a useful chess piece?"
"I originally thought that after you gathered power for me, you wouldn't be of much use anymore."
"I didn't expect your usefulness to be this great."
Although a trace of regret and reluctance appeared on D's face, his hands did not slow down in the slightest.
At this moment, Witherzilla could only watch as his own power was continuously siphoned away by D like a raging tide, his heart filled with fear and despair.
Seeing the situation grow more and more critical, Witherzilla could no longer care about so-called dignity or pride, and hurriedly opened his mouth to beg desperately.
"Please spare my life… As long as you let me go, I'm willing to unconditionally obey any of your commands…"
However, this humble plea did not stir D's cold, merciless heart in the slightest.
On the contrary, not only did D feel no pity, he even accelerated the rate at which he was extracting power. As D continued to exert force, Witherzilla let out one final, piercing scream, "No…" Immediately after, all the power contained within Witherzilla burst forth like a breached flood, madly surging into the palm of D's hand.
Gradually, that dazzling golden light in D's hand slowly condensed and transformed, eventually turning into a yellow Ender Eye that radiated a mysterious aura.
Looking at this incomparably precious Ender Eye in his hand, D finally revealed a smile.
He then gently lifted the Ender Eye in his hand, admiring it as he casually played with it.
He muttered to himself, "Hmph, so what if you were once a lofty, arrogant god?"
"You're just a chess piece in my hand. Your life and death are under my control."
As the words fell, a flash of extremely cunning and ferocious light suddenly swept through D's eyes. With a crazed expression, he shouted loudly, "I am the one true god of this world! Anyone who dares look down on me or oppose me will pay a terrible price!"
After finishing this declaration to himself, he suddenly clenched his fist.
The immense pressure of his power caused the golden-yellow Ender Eye to shatter completely. At the instant the Ender Eye broke apart, the vast power contained within it surged like a runaway wild horse, instantly drilling into the palm of D's hand.
In fact, with D's abilities, he could have effortlessly absorbed Witherzilla's power directly into his own body. Yet he deliberately went through all this trouble, first converting Witherzilla's power into an Ender Eye, then holding it in his hand and toying with it at will.
The reason he did this extra, unnecessary step was nothing more than to satisfy his already severely twisted and distorted sense of vanity.
After absorbing all of Witherzilla's power into his body, D casually waved his arm toward the sky above the Nameless Land.
Immediately afterward, the primal lightning that Witherzilla had previously released appeared once again above the Nameless Land.
The primal lightning continued to release power downward into the Nameless Land. The scene at this moment was no different from when Witherzilla had released his power earlier.
Obviously, this was yet another pointless act, like taking off your pants just to fart.
D's plan never required sacrificing Witherzilla in the first place. He only needed to intimidate Witherzilla and use him, and he could have achieved his goal.
But he didn't do that, because he felt that Witherzilla had offended him. So even if it was unnecessary, he had to do it.
This time, D's plan was not aimed at the Execution Dragon, nor at Xu Yuan, but at J.
Ever since D completely let go of his friendship with J in his heart, he had been thinking of ways to kick J, this stumbling block, out of the way.
Although J didn't usually use his power, that didn't mean he didn't have power, nor that he couldn't use it.
Like D, he was a Creator-God–level existence, and their strength was evenly matched.
Precisely because of this, any abnormal move by D would be noticed by J, so D had never found a way to deal with J.
And Witherzilla, however, had provided D with a solution.
What could now be confirmed was that the flow of time inside the Nameless Land was definitely slower than in the main world, and Witherzilla's power could maintain the current rate of time flow within the Nameless Land.
In other words, as long as pressure was continuously applied from the outside, the Nameless Land would continue to maintain slow time flow, and the Execution Dragon would be unable to change it.
And what D needed to do was to trick J into entering the Nameless Land. That way, J would effectively be trapped there for the time being.
Naturally, if Witherzilla could think of a way to deal with the Execution Dragon, then the Execution Dragon could surely think of a countermeasure as well.
But D wasn't worried about that. Although J would not harm the Execution Dragon, she belonged to Xu Yuan's faction, and she was inherently opposed to J.
Just trying to persuade the Execution Dragon would already require J to spend a lot of effort and words, and naturally, a lot of time.
The time J spent merely trying to persuade the Execution Dragon was already more than enough for D to do many things…
