With just a single glance from him, Pengpeng felt that everything he had done was worth it!

At that moment, the players in the livestream room were all stunned by what they were witnessing.

“This… this game is insane! Monsters can transform?!”

“Holy crap! The zombie just turned into a werewolf? What the heck, it changed species entirely!”

“According to some rumors, this zombie originally had a pet wolf, which he sent to infiltrate the Eternal Guild as a spy. Unfortunately, it was exposed and tortured to death by the guild…”

“Whoa… so you’re saying this werewolf might actually be the spirit of that pet wolf?”

“Maybe it’s a fusion… I have to admit, this game is truly something else.”

“Or maybe it’s HIM who’s something else. No transformations like this ever happened until HIM showed up.”

“True… And did you notice? When the zombie lunged at him, HIM didn’t even bother dodging. It’s like he knew exactly what was going to happen.”

“Yet again, he’s calculated everything?!”

“Well, with the Eternal Guild’s pet monster defecting instantly, this battle just got a lot harder.”

“Not necessarily. Don’t forget, there’s still a dragon left!”

“…”

Everyone’s attention shifted to the Ender Dragon.

After all, for the Eternal Guild, their only trump card was this dragon.

Though 007 and Little Bug had merged, unleashing the repressed power inside them, the fusion took a heavy toll on their physical body.

007 struggled to recover, still far from peak fighting condition. Yet, he forced himself to stand, his body trembling.

“My King…”

“Please, leave that dragon to me…”

Before 007 could finish speaking, Xu Yuan interrupted.

“No rush. I have a more important task for you later.”

Xu Yuan noticed that 007 hadn’t fully adapted to his new form yet. While the Ender Dragon was the guild’s final trump card, to Xu Yuan, it was just a minor threat. But with 007’s current condition, battling a flying opponent would still be challenging—not due to a lack of strength but because 007 couldn’t fly, putting him at a severe disadvantage.

Understanding this, Xu Yuan teleported to confront the Ender Dragon midair.

The sight of HIM appearing across from them in the sky made Yonghui and Canglong, who were on the dragon’s back, tense up.

They had just witnessed 007’s transformation and knew from the moment he knelt and called out “My King” that their hopes now rested solely on the Ender Dragon.

Fortunately, 007’s post-transformation state left him weakened and temporarily unable to fight. Otherwise, even with a powerful dragon, they would have stood little chance in a two-on-one confrontation.

“Damn it! We have no choice but to go all out!”

“Canglong! Let the dragon breathe fire!”

Upon receiving Canglong’s command, the Ender Dragon opened its massive jaws. A purplish flame gathered at its throat, condensing into a fiery orb of dazzling intensity.

The blazing sphere, five blocks high, hurtled toward HIM with blinding speed.

Given the short distance between HIM and the Ender Dragon, HIM had no time to dodge. The flaming orb struck him squarely, dispersing into a cloud of purple vapor—a true dragon’s breath.

Seeing their attack hit its mark, Yonghui and Canglong could barely contain their joy. But their celebration was cut short.

HIM’s reaction was like a slap to their faces. He merely frowned, brushing off the lingering purple mist from his shoulder as if it were nothing more than dirt.

Not a scratch. Not even a hint of injury.

Yonghui and Canglong’s minds went blank.

“The dragon breath… didn’t work?!!”

“Impossible! It’s dragon breath!!”

Their shock stemmed from testing the breath’s effectiveness on 007 earlier—it had been potent enough to wound him. This gave them confidence they could hurt HIM since both HIM and 007 were supposedly of the same type. If 007 could be harmed, so should HIM.

But they were overthinking it.

They had no idea that 007 and HIM were on entirely different levels. While both were monsters, 007 was a creation of HIM himself. Naturally, their makeup was worlds apart.

Nor did they know about HIM’s passive abilities: fire immunity and potion immunity.

In the original MC game, dragon breath essentially acted like a lingering area effect damage potion. Here, it seemed to be modified with added fire damage. But for Xu Yuan, it made no difference—he was completely immune.

In fact, had he lost any health, the purple mist might have even healed him due to its instant damage-over-time properties.

The mere thought of HIM healing from a dragon’s breath would have driven Yonghui and Canglong mad with despair. Thankfully for them, HIM didn’t need the healing.

Below, even 007 was stunned. He’d been burned by dragon breath before, so he had worried about his master’s safety. But now, he realized his concern was pointless.

In such a short time, his master’s power had grown beyond comprehension.

It seemed HIM alone could obliterate everyone here.

Meanwhile, the livestream chat was filled with question marks.

“?????????”

“Wait, what?? IMMUNE to dragon breath???”

“Didn’t he only have arrow immunity before? How did he evolve to resist dragon breath too?!”

“I’m not exactly sure how strong dragon breath is, but judging by that massive orb and those flashy effects, it’s clearly no joke. Yet it didn’t even faze HIM…”

“So, here’s the question: How do you hurt HIM?!”

“Good question. Maybe call the GM…”

“…”

After casually brushing off the purple mist, Xu Yuan glanced at the Ender Dragon and pondered for a moment. He opened his Intimidation System.

Seeing a new option labeled [Young Ender Dragon] appear in the system panel, he finally understood.

“So that’s why the Ender Dragon can be tamed.”

“It must’ve been hatched from a dragon egg…”

Since it was marked as a “Young Ender Dragon,” there was only one explanation—it had been hatched.

Normally, defeating an Ender Dragon would yield an egg, which was more than just a decorative item in this game. This made sense; players wouldn’t tolerate going through such a tough battle only for worthless loot.

It appeared this game’s Ender Dragon had been given a power boost. And if its egg could be hatched, it would be a reasonable bonus.

Xu Yuan wondered if this privilege was limited to first kills, a common mechanic in many games.

He turned his attention back to the Intimidation System and saw the cost to unlock the Young Ender Dragon’s control.

“Only 50 million?!”

By comparison, unlocking control of an adult Ender Dragon would cost a billion Intimidation Points! He’d even grumbled about that before.

“This is a deal too good to pass up.”

Killing the dragon outright would be simple—a single fatal axe strike. While he’d gain skills by defeating it, taming the beast was a rare opportunity. Summoning another dragon would require returning to the End, a tedious process.

Plus, he wasn’t sure if a tamed Ender Dragon could leave the End, since its natural state was to circle the Ender Crystals.

Reviving it would require another egg, and if the first-kill mechanic was true, that could mean a serious bottleneck.

So, with a dragon conveniently delivered to him, why not make it his own?
