The players who suddenly broke into the gray space weren't zombie players. Even though they didn't worship HIM like the zombie players, at least they didn't hate HIM.
As the game world developed, players' views of HIM also changed. Now in the players' eyes, HIM wasn't really an enemy. On the contrary, because of the infection system, he gave players a new path to grow.
He gave the game a new playstyle. A lot of players were thinking that once they got bored of playing as regular players, they'd try the zombie faction.
So HIM had never really given players a bad impression. This was also why the group of players chose to stand on Xu Yuan's side.
Of course, part of the reason was also because Xu Yuan saved them. But regardless of whether Xu Yuan had taken action to save them or not, in their hearts, this newly appeared HIM was a fake.
The players of this world didn't know that HIM meant Herobrine in Minecraft. They didn't even know Herobrine, and they didn't know anything about Herobrine's deeds.
They only knew the HIM of this world.
That white-eyed monster who was initially named HIM by players spontaneously.
Now suddenly, another HIM who looked exactly the same appeared. Naturally, they would think that the one who appeared later was the fake.
To put it plainly, the name HIM, in the eyes of players, was just a title. What they acknowledged was always Xu Yuan as a person.
Even if Xu Yuan told them his real name, their impression of him would not change in the slightest.
Just like the Ender Queen, the Fear Demon King, the Wither King, and even the Execution Dragon, they had all seen or come into contact with the real HIM.
They also knew HIM's strength and what the name HIM meant. They were not stupid; they clearly understood that Xu Yuan was not the real HIM.
Even though they knew these truths, they still willingly followed Xu Yuan and remained loyal to him forever. And all of this wasn't because Xu Yuan was that powerful. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
If we're talking about strength, which one of Void or the real HIM isn't stronger than Xu Yuan?
Xu Yuan's strength was only one-third that of the real HIM.
Void's blue tier merged with the Ender Queen's power was already about equal to Xu Yuan's raw power. The fully evolved Executor Dragon was definitely stronger than Xu Yuan.
The world never lacks powerful beings.
But what truly makes people trust and rely on someone is responsibility, accountability, inner strength, and a clear big-picture view.
Xu Yuan was exactly that kind of person.
Because he was an outsider, and he understood MC well, understood the worldview of every part of MC. His judgment of this world was as if he had entered God's perspective.
He wouldn't have obsessive thoughts, wouldn't solve problems with violence, and wouldn't forcibly change the world's process.
He was neutral, but not hands-off.
He didn't want to rule this world. Because he had once been a player too, he understood the meaning of this game world.
So, the name HIM held no bonus value for Xu Yuan in this game world. It was just a name, a code name, nothing more.
The same went for his appearance. Even if Xu Yuan no longer appeared in HIM's form, players would still believe in him. Because what they believed in was not this shell of a body.
The charm of this shell was something Xu Yuan had given it.
Without Xu Yuan, this shell would be nothing more than the white-eyed monster that people talked about.
At this moment, the Tyrant HIM was instantly enraged after hearing the players' words.
He suddenly disappeared from his spot, and in the next second appeared right in front of this group of players. He spread his arms wide, and in an instant both arms stretched out into two extremely long and sharp obsidian greatswords, slashing toward the heads of the players.
Just then, the ground beneath Tyrant HIM's feet suddenly sprouted countless bedrock spikes.
Tyrant HIM saw this but didn't stop his attack, though his body had been partially pierced by the spikes, he didn't flinch at all.
Xu Yuan saw this and quickly used bedrock to block Tyrant HIM's attack aimed at the players.
Then, in an instant, he appeared among the players and teleported them away. This group of players could be said to have walked past the gates of hell twice now.
Even though they had cursed Tyrant HIM a million times in their hearts, this time they finally learned their lesson. They didn't dare to speak again and all shrank behind Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan felt a bit helpless seeing this. This group of players were, honestly, true burdens. But he couldn't just let them be, right now, they were no longer just a group of playere.
They were chips in the game.
Xu Yuan and Tyrant HIM were clearly fighting over people. If even one player was killed by Tyrant HIM, Xu Yuan would have lost in terms of momentum.
Luckily, these players had finally shut up, which made Xu Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't provoke Tyrant HIM again, he probably wouldn't bother with them.
Thinking this, Xu Yuan looked toward Tyrant HIM.
At this moment, Tyrant HIM had several bedrock spikes pierced through his body. But strangely, there was no blood coming out of his wounds.
Tyrant HIM pulled out the bedrock spikes one by one and twisted his neck.
He suddenly looked at Xu Yuan with a creepy smile and said, "A god does not bleed. And what about you?"
Before he even finished speaking, several obsidian spikes suddenly pierced through Xu Yuan's body. And those obsidian spikes had actually grown from inside Xu Yuan's body.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan instantly thought of the move he once used to deal with an iron golem.
Even though both could control obsidian, obsidian could take on hundreds of forms. So even if Xu Yuan and Tyrant HIM could both control obsidian, their techniques shouldn't look similar.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Xu Yuan hadn't expected Tyrant HIM to use the same move as him.
Seeing his attack land on Xu Yuan, but with no blood flowing from Xu Yuan's wounds, Tyrant HIM was momentarily stunned.
He seemed to have not expected this outcome.
Seeing the disbelief on Tyrant HIM's face, Xu Yuan just smiled. It looked like Tyrant HIM was gradually realizing that the so-called "fake" might not be so fake after all.
'Looks like he's like me, invincible, and neither of us can hurt the other…'
After the exchange of attack and counterattack, Xu Yuan also roughly understood what Null meant when it said their strengths were "equal."
Without a domain existing, both of them were in an invincible state, neither could kill the other. If this fight continued this way, there would be no result, unless some breakthrough was found.
Thinking this, Xu Yuan looked at the obsidian spikes growing out of his body.
'Obsidian! There's the breakthrough!'
Thinking this, Xu Yuan tried to control the obsidian spikes inside his body.
And just as he thought, he could control the obsidian created by Tyrant HIM.
While Tyrant HIM seemed to only be able to control obsidian, Xu Yuan could control both obsidian and bedrock.
'Looks like I still have the advantage.'
At this moment, Tyrant HIM saw that Xu Yuan didn't attack, but the obsidian spikes on his body slowly fell off. The surprise on his face grew even more obvious.
When the obsidian spikes had completely fallen off, Xu Yuan finally spoke, "That's right."
"A god does not bleed."
