He seed to not believe what he was seeing. Even though the back view looked familiar, the aura felt off. Blue Consciousness couldn't be sure who this really was.
Before he could think further, Null spoke coldly, "Do you even know what you're doing?!"
That question left Blue Consciousness stunned.
"Huh?..."
He thought for a mont, then stamred a reply, "T-This… This was those two's idea..."
"Ma… Master, why are you here?... And your power..."
Blue Consciousness gradually started sensing sothing was wrong. He could feel the "Master's" power in front of him. It was stronger than his own, but not by much.
He rembered the real "Master" being far more powerful.
Though suspicious, he didn't dare act rashly, after all, that back view was exactly the "Master's."
Even though he had begun doubting, Null showed no sign of panic. Instead, he let out a cold sneer.
"Looks like it's those two who gave you the confidence to co and question my power?"
Although Null had borrowed the power of the Dread Lord, at this mont, his strength was definitely above the blue-tier level. But probably at most only increased by one tier.
Blue consciousness bodies are able to sense power, so Null had also guessed that he would definitely beco suspicious of him. But at a ti like this, he definitely couldn't fall into the trap of self-proof, nor could he panic.
Although Null was feeling a bit guilty, he had to hold his montum steady. At tis like this, if he weakened even a little, the blue tier would imdiately see through the illusion.
After following Xu Yuan for so long, Null had beco more and more skilled at reading people's minds.
Just as Null finished speaking, he saw the blue light at the center of the blue Ender Eye in front of him tremble slightly.
At this mont, his suspicion seed to be slowly replaced by fear.
"Please… please forgive …"
Seeing the reaction of the blue-tier, Null more or less understood so of the power distribution among the Void red consciousness bodies.
Just now, a few of Null's sentences had already coaxed out so key information.
Looks like his previous guess was correct. It seems that the manifested back figure he disguised as was the key to creating these consciousness bodies.
These consciousness bodies that were created, what they fear most should be the one who created them. Because that is the source of their power. This point, Null had personally experienced before.
Back then, when Null was still just Xu Yuan's shadow, he also once had the thought of seizing control over Xu Yuan's body.
Later, when Xu Yuan stopped killing, he felt his power begin to drain away. If Xu Yuan completely gave up killing, then Null might disappear from this world.
So at that ti, Null was very afraid of Xu Yuan. After all, his life was essentially controlled by Xu Yuan.
The current blue tier was also the sa, his life is controlled by his creator, so in his heart, he naturally fears him the most, and also is the most loyal to him.
Thinking of this, Null pondered for a mont, then didn't say anything further.
Instead, he raised his hand and opened his palm.
The blue consciousness body saw the action of the "master's" back figure and was imdiately a little stunned.
"Mas… Master?..."
He seed to not quite understand what the "master" ant. He looked toward the back figure of the "master," but could not get a reply from the "master." And the "master's" hand remained open.
At this mont, the blue consciousness body suddenly started to panic.
'What does this an…'
Seeing that the "master" didn't respond, the blue consciousness body imdiately began recalling earlier details.
'This gesture… seems to an that he wants to hand sothing over to him… What exactly does the master want to get from ?...'
'Just now, master seed to be angry… It's because I questioned the master's power… Could it be that the master wants to punish ?!'
Thinking of this, the blue consciousness body's heart trembled.
Just now, he really had questioned the "master's" power, and the "master" indeed got angry because of those few sentences. Since he had made a mistake, he must receive punishnt.
A being of the master's level, naturally wouldn't personally take action to punish him. So the aning behind the master opening his hand, must be that he wants to take back the power he gave.
Thinking of this, the blue consciousness body was imdiately at a loss.
If the "master" wanted to reclaim his power, it would undoubtedly an declaring his death.
He clearly didn't want to just die. But even if he didn't take the initiative to hand over the power, the "master" would still act.
So either way, it was death.
As the blue consciousness body hesitated, he saw the back figure of the "master" let out a long sigh.
This sigh made the blue consciousness body's heart skip a beat, almost jumping out. It was obvious that the "master" was already a bit impatient.
Seeing this, the blue consciousness body gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
Null was actually just playing a psychological ga with the blue consciousness body.
If Null had directly opened his mouth to ask the blue consciousness body to hand over his core, the blue consciousness body would definitely beco suspicious.
So Null didn't play it straight. Instead, he deliberately said nothing, just extended his hand to test the blue consciousness body.
This is just like between a couple, when the girlfriend suddenly reaches out to the boyfriend, but says nothing. Sotis the girlfriend doesn't even have any specific intention, just wants to see what kind of reaction the boyfriend will have.
So boyfriends might hand over a comb, a tissue, or a hairclip, everyday items. So might just take the girlfriend's hand directly. So go straight to handing over cash.
Obviously, no matter what the girlfriend's intention was, handing over money is always a win for her.
This was the strategy Null was using. If the blue consciousness body could fill in the blanks by himself and hand over his core to Null, then Null would have made a huge profit.
If not, Null would just have to co up with another way.
Null had held out his hand for quite a while, thinking this thod wasn't working, and was about to lower it. But then he saw the blue Ender Eye had already fallen into his hand.
'Took the bait!'
The mont the blue consciousness body arrived in Null's palm, he imdiately realized sothing was wrong.
Logically, from this angle, he should've been able to see the "master's" face. But he realized, the "master's" face he thought he would see was still just a back figure.
'This… what's going on?!!'
Just as the blue consciousness body realized sothing was off, Null grabbed the blue Ender Eye tightly. The mont Null grasped the blue Ender Eye, the entire illusion began rapidly collapsing.
Seeing Null clutching his life core in front of him, the blue consciousness body finally realized he had been tricked. He had been inside the illusion the whole ti, and the "master" had never co here at all.
It was all an illusion created by Null. Even though he now knew the truth, it was already too late, because his life core was already in Null's hand.
At this mont, the Wither Storm, having lost its life core, quickly began to disintegrate and collapse.
Null saw this and finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Done."
At this mont, the players in the livestream who saw this scene were all completely confused. They couldn't see what was happening inside Null's illusion. In their view, they just saw the Dread Lord place a hand on Null's chest, and a black aura surged into Null's chest.
Then they saw Null walk up to the Wither Storm and seem to say sothing.
The Wither Storm didn't attack him. Then Null stretched his hand out toward the Wither Storm. Not long after, a blue Ender Eye flew out of the Wither Storm's body and landed in Null's hand. Then the Wither Storm disintegrated.
This series of actions left all the players watching completely stunned.
[What… what just happened???]
[Was that a magic trick? The plot turned way too fast. Weren't they having a tough fight before? Now it ended in an instant?!]
[This must be the power of love, hahahaha. Didn't the Dread Lord transfer his power to Null earlier?]
[Damn? I just ca from the Fire God's side and this side's already over too?!]
[These subordinates of HIM are really freaks… Now only the beauty-sis side hasn't finished yet, right?...]
Although Null and the Dread Lord had struggled quite a bit before figuring out the trick and did a lot of useless work, once they clarified their roles as mages, everything proceeded relatively smoothly.
Actually, with the strength of Null and the Dread Lord, if they were just up against an ordinary blue-tier monster, they should've been able to finish the fight quickly.
But after all, what they were facing was the Wither Storm, a boss with so weight to it, so there were bound to be a few setbacks during the battle.
However, from this fight with the Wither Storm, it was clear that Xu Yuan's reward-based training for Null and the Dread Lord was quite effective. In fact, if Xu Yuan wanted to strengthen them, he could've directly bestowed fear power on them.
But Xu Yuan didn't do that, and instead used a reward system.
The goal was to train their ability to think. The two were about the sa in strength, so it would be hard to decide a winner by brute force, winning would require using their brains.
From this battle between Null and the Wither Storm, Xu Yuan's thod clearly worked. At least it showed that Null was making progress.
As for the Dread Lord… he also played a very key role as backup support.
