"You are not the true HIM..." After saying this, the Ender Queen looked at Xu Yuan somewhat nervously.
Seeing that Xu Yuan's face did not show any displeasure, she finally let out a sigh of relief. "I can only remember that the last person I saw before my memory disappeared was HIM."
"I remember his aura. His aura is different from yours..."
"Simply put, he has your aura on him, but he also has an aura that does not belong to you..." After finishing her words, the Ender Queen glanced at Xu Yuan again.
It was clear that she was indeed being very cautious with her words this time. She was very afraid of saying something wrong and making Xu Yuan unhappy.
Xu Yuan was not surprised to hear the Ender Queen's words. Because he had already anticipated earlier that he was not the HIM who once fought against the Void.
As Xu Yuan was thinking, the Ender Queen spoke again. "Recently, I discussed matters regarding the Void with the Dragon Prophet, the Dancer, the Dread Lord, and the Wither King..."
"The Dread Lord and I have both come into contact with the Void. I have encountered the red consciousness entity within the Void."
"The Dread Lord and I both feel that..." At this point, the Ender Queen seemed hesitant to continue speaking.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan smiled and said, "It's fine, go ahead."
Hearing Xu Yuan say this, the Ender Queen took a deep breath before continuing. "The Dread Lord and I can both sense the power of the red consciousness entity in the Void..."
"Only the true HIM's power is capable of rivaling it."
"Your... current power is not even one-third of the true HIM's..." As she said this, the Ender Queen's heart had already leaped to her throat.
Beside her, the Dread Lord also looked over with a worried expression. Originally, the Dread Lord had planned to meet Xu Yuan together with the Ender Queen.
But in the end, the Ender Queen decided to take on the task alone. After all, she was the only one who had personally experienced both the true HIM's power and the power of the Void's red consciousness entity.
She could make a more direct comparison.
After finishing her words, the Ender Queen kept observing Xu Yuan's expression. Seeing that Xu Yuan remained silent, she suddenly panicked a little and hurriedly waved her hand to explain. "I'm saying this not because I fear the battle..."
"Even knowing the Void's overwhelming power, we will still remain steadfast and follow you!"
Seeing the Ender Queen's nervous expression, Xu Yuan found it somewhat amusing. Xu Yuan asked himself—he had always been quite good to his subordinates. He had never forced or threatened them. Yet, each of them acted like mice in front of a cat when speaking to him, afraid of saying something that might make him unhappy.
However, Xu Yuan could understand. The reason they acted this way was because they respected and revered him.
Xu Yuan nodded and then looked at the Ender Queen. "Alright, I understand."
"Continue letting the Dragon Prophet help you recover your memory. As for everything else, you don't need to worry."
"As long as I am here." Hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Ender Queen finally let out a sigh of relief. Although Xu Yuan did not say much, that one sentence—'As long as I am here'—made the Ender Queen feel a deep sense of reassurance.
After finishing her words, the Ender Queen sensibly took her leave. She knew that Xu Yuan needed some time to think.
After the Ender Queen left, Xu Yuan began flipping through the system. Looking at the system's various statistics, Xu Yuan felt a little puzzled.
"So, I only have one-third of the true HIM's power...?"
Xu Yuan repeatedly browsed through the abilities provided by the system, trying to find room for improvement.
Among the skills obtained from first-killing monsters, there were still many that he had not maxed out. However, now that Xu Yuan possessed a Domain, those skills were no longer very significant.
Even if he maxed them all out, the improvement would not be substantial.
The only skill that might provide some enhancement was Clone.
[Clone Lv10: Does not consume HP. Summon 9 clones. Clones inherit 100% of the main body's abilities.]
[Consumes 10 billion (100E) kill points to unlock Clone Evolution!]
Evolving the Clone skill required 10 billion kill points. Xu Yuan still had not accumulated that many kill points.
If he wanted to evolve the Clone skill, he still had a long way to go. Xu Yuan had previously thought about HIM's three true bodies.
But the idea that HIM had three true bodies was merely a rumor among players, influenced by various fan creations in his past life.
Xu Yuan had no idea how this world's mechanics actually worked. He also did not know whether the HIM of this world truly had three true bodies like the rumors said.
Before, Xu Yuan had only speculated. But now, hearing what the Ender Queen said forced Xu Yuan to seriously consider this possibility.
After all, the coincidence was just too great.
The Ender Queen had clearly told Xu Yuan that his strength was only one-third of the true HIM's. Xu Yuan had no idea how to obtain the remaining two-thirds of power.
Even if he maxed out all of the first-kill monster skills, it would hardly make a difference. The only possibility was Clone Evolution, which might give Xu Yuan a slight boost.
But evolving a single skill would not directly raise his strength by two-thirds.
The other possibility was expanding the Domain's size. However, in essence, the biggest gap in Domains was between having one and not having one.
Going forward, Xu Yuan could only expand the Domain's size and the Invading Domain's range. The attributes of the Domain itself would not change—it would only cover a larger area.
That was hardly a major power boost. Even if Xu Yuan expanded the Domain significantly, his strength would not skyrocket. After all, the nature of the Domain was already fixed.
As he pondered, Xu Yuan continued flipping through the system.
After searching for a long time, apart from Clone Evolution and Domain Expansion, Xu Yuan found no other way to significantly improve his power.
But for now, both of those paths required a long journey ahead.
Clone Evolution required 10 billion kill points. Although Xu Yuan had activated the Epic Siege MOD, players were improving their skills, and monsters were no longer much of a threat to them.
Even though Xu Yuan's Nether monster farm was still running, compared to the astronomical requirement of 10 billion kill points, it was a drop in the ocean.
Xu Yuan could consider activating more Monster MODs. While doing so would reopen kill point farming opportunities, it would also be extremely risky.
The Void's red consciousness entity was already eyeing the world greedily, making frequent moves.
As far as Xu Yuan knew, they had already controlled the Ender Queen, Entity 303, the Dread Lord, and even parts of the Villager faction.
And that was just what Xu Yuan knew.
The Void's interference in the Overworld was definitely much greater. If he activated MODs now, it would only give the Void more bodies to parasitize.
Moreover, the current world situation was already chaotic enough. If he activated Monster MODs, things would become even worse.
After all, activating MODs would affect the entire world.
Even though Xu Yuan had gained access to invading the forum, he still could not monitor the entire world. For now, that path was not an option—there were too many uncertainties.
What Xu Yuan could do was build more monster farms to slowly accumulate kill points while gathering faith value to upgrade his Domain.
At the same time, he needed to expand his forces in preparation for the inevitable great war.
"Looks like I'll have to start with Mustard and Blue Demon..."
As Xu Yuan was thinking, he saw Entity 303 slowly walking over, seemingly wanting to say something.
"What's wrong?"
Entity 303 hesitated for a while before finally speaking. "I actually..."
At this point, Entity 303 seemed unsure of how to express himself. After struggling to find the right words, he finally continued.
"I am actually just like you all now... I will remain in this world forever..."
