"Yes!"

...

The recent events sent shockwaves through Yonghui and Canglong's hearts.

Though they had already sensed that defeat was imminent, as leaders, surrender was simply not an option.

They had to fight to the bitter end!

"Damn it! Charge him!!"

"If long-range attacks won't work, then we'll take him up close!!"

"Canglong! Command the Ender Dragon to strike!!"

Upon Yonghui's command, Canglong immediately directed the Ender Dragon to dive toward HIM.

The Ender Dragon moved with blinding speed, its massive frame surging forward with a force that was nothing short of overwhelming.

Yet, HIM remained motionless, as if oblivious to the impending threat.

Just as the Ender Dragon was about to crash into HIM, he raised his hand slightly, making a simple stopping gesture.

In that instant, the Ender Dragon, which had been speeding headlong, abruptly stopped mid-air, halting right before HIM.

Yonghui and Canglong were dumbstruck.

"What...???! What's going on?!"

"Why did it stop?!"

---

Yonghui and Canglong were left stunned, unable to make sense of what they had just witnessed.

They glanced at HIM, now just inches away.

This was their first time seeing HIM this close.

Both quickly averted their eyes, as if even gazing directly was too much to handle.

At such a short distance, the suffocating pressure emanating from HIM crashed over them like a wave.

Even Yonghui, a seasoned guild leader who had encountered countless foes, couldn't bring himself to hold HIM's gaze. The oppressive aura radiating from HIM was simply too powerful.

Yonghui felt a chill in his bones the moment their eyes met.

From that single glance, he knew—they had no hope of victory.

And in HIM's eyes, he saw only darkness and malice without end.

"It's over..."

The realization hit Yonghui hard, albeit belatedly.

Meanwhile, Canglong hadn't fully grasped the situation when the Ender Dragon beneath him began to tilt.

HIM's hand rotated slowly in the air, and, as if in response, the massive dragon flipped upside down mid-flight.

The great beast flapped its wings desperately, suspended upside-down in the sky.

With a sudden jolt, Yonghui and Canglong were thrown off its back.

Viewers in the live stream erupted in shock.

"Wait, WHAT?! HIM can control dragons now?!"

"This is insane! HIM, how many more surprises do you have for us?!"

"History really does repeat itself... Last time, HIM faced a pack of wolves. Now, it's a dragon. How long has it even been since then...?"

"I thought Eternal Glory was unstoppable with these monsters, but oh, turns out they were just HIM's pawns. I underestimated HIM... again."

"HIM: Didn't see this coming, did you? Your trump card? Yeah, it's my minion."

"Brutal... Just too brutal..."

"From that height? They'll splatter, right? Does the game even have that kind of effect...?"

——

Yonghui and Canglong plummeted rapidly, bracing themselves for the inevitable end.

Resigned, they shut their eyes and waited for death.

But, moments before they hit the ground, they suddenly stopped mid-air.

When they opened their eyes, HIM was floating beside them.

Before they could even comprehend what was happening, the scenery blurred, and they were swiftly transported back to the midst of the player crowd.

Yonghui and Canglong were bewildered.

"Am I seeing this right? Did HIM just save us?!"

"What the hell is he planning?!"

Despite HIM's apparent rescue, neither of them believed they were out of danger.

In fact, it was precisely because of this intervention that their fear deepened.

They had expected a quick end. Instead, HIM chose to spare them.

Though his intentions were unclear, one thing was certain—HIM wasn't letting them off that easily.

Viewers in the live stream were equally flabbergasted by the sudden twist.

"WHAT?! HIM actually saved them?!"

"Why do I feel like... this is bad news?"

"Yeah... HIM is a master manipulator!"

"Death isn't the worst thing for us players. Losing loot? We're used to it. But... how does he know that...?"

"Damn, this is suffocating! If I were Yonghui, I'd just end it right now!"

"Even if they want to, they'll need HIM's permission first..."

HIM's unexpected act of saving Yonghui and Canglong left even 007 puzzled.

But before 007 could speak, HIM addressed him directly.

"Your turn."

With those words, HIM vanished.

In less than a second, he returned—this time with a horse by his side.

Upon seeing the horse, something within 007 awakened.

Normally, 007 wouldn't dare act without HIM's approval. But now, he couldn't help himself.

He leapt onto the horse's back.

The moment he made contact, a surge of molten heat coursed through him, as if his body were filled with liquid fire.

In an instant, the horse beneath him was engulfed in flames, its flesh reduced to ash, leaving only a skeleton.

Yet, despite its skeletal state, the horse seemed more alive, revitalized by this transformation.

On horseback, 007, too, was in shock. He could feel the boundless lava-like power flowing within him.

Only now, on the skeletal horse, did he regain full control over his immense strength.

———

Viewers, having witnessed this spectacle, were almost numb from the surprises.

"Alright... fine. At this point, even if that zombie turned into a magical girl, I wouldn't be surprised."

"Is it even a zombie anymore? What should we call it? Wolf Demon King?"

"Could work, but he's on a horse. Clearly, he's more of a knight."

"Then how about... Wolf Demon Knight?"

"That's clunky... Naming experts, assemble!!"

"Here I am! Since he fused with a wolf, but the wolf's dead... How about... Wolf Spirit Knight?"

"Death Knight! So badass! No arguments!"

Thus, what was once merely HIM's zombie underling gained a title of its own: Wolf Demon King—Death Knight.

———

Xu Yuan gazed at 007, now fully evolved, with a sense of pride.

From the start, Xu Yuan had known 007 was special.

He hadn't expected him to become his first and most loyal subordinate.

With the rise of the Death Knight, he was confident that others like Null, Entity 303, and the Fear Lord would soon emerge as well.

Xu Yuan nodded to 007, and without speaking, his loyal subordinate understood.

"My King, leave them to me!"

Xu Yuan noticed that with his transformation, 007 no longer stumbled over his words.

He nodded again but issued one warning.

"Be gentle. Leave them alive."

007 was puzzled but obeyed.

Xu Yuan's gaze swept over the players, a hint of malice in his eyes.

"For them, death would be mercy."

"Wouldn't killing them be a waste?"
