Yiyu quickly told Steve what had happened.
Hearing the details, Steve wasn't surprised.
Although Steve hadn't been out recently, he had been keeping an eye on the world chat channel.
Players had already reported that monsters had beco much stronger.
This was also the reason Steve was eager to train the guild mbers.
"Okay, got it."
"The Endern aren't so easy to deal with anymore. You guys co back for now."
Just as Steve was about to close the chat window, Yiyu sent another ssage.
"By the way, boss."
"Sothing strange happened in the End today."
"You know how Endern often carry blocks, right?"
"Today we saw an Enderman throw a grass block from the Overworld into the void."
Although Yiyu wasn't one of the earliest mbers under Steve, due to his solid personal skills, Steve heavily relied on him.
The reason he appointed him as a squad leader was because Yiyu was a very observant person.
Steve often reminded these squad leaders to stay sharp and pay attention to strange occurrences.
This was a lesson Steve had learned from facing HIM before.
As long as you pay attention, everything leaves traces.
Yiyu had taken Steve's advice to heart.
Seeing Yiyu's ssage, Steve thought for a mont and then replied.
"Don't co back just yet. Stay there and observe for a while."
"Report anything unusual to imdiately."
Although Yiyu had only provided a seemingly insignificant piece of information, Steve still took note of it.
There was no harm in being cautious.
After receiving Steve's instructions, Yiyu quickly replied.
"Understood."
After closing the chat window, Yiyu imdiately organized the players to re-enter the End Island.
Once they arrived, Yiyu and his teammates built upward to reach the tops of the obsidian pillars.
The view was better from up there, and they didn't have to worry about accidentally making eye contact with an Enderman and getting attacked.
"Brother Yu, why did the boss tell us to stay here? Are we just supposed to watch these Endern throw blocks?"
"Why do you talk so much? Whatever the boss says, we do. Has the boss ever led us wrong?"
"Observing more won't hurt. Who knows, maybe we'll figure out a trick for farming Endern."
"…"
The players chatted casually.
Before long, they saw an Enderman erge from the portal carrying a diamond ore block.
"Whoa?! Diamond ore?!"
"Damn, so that's why diamond ores are so rare—they've all been taken by Endern?!"
"Endern probably carry these things randomly, right? Must've been luck…"
"Why can't I have that kind of luck…"
"…"
The Enderman teleported to the edge of the End Island.
Then it casually let go of the diamond ore, dropping it into the void.
The players were imdiately shocked.
"What the heck?! What a waste!!!"
"Stop! That's a diamond ore!!!"
"Dammit, Enderman, do you even know what you're doing?!"
The players thought the diamond ore would fall into the void just like the grass block before.
But at the mont the diamond ore entered the void, it didn't fall.
Instead, it vanished!
It was as if the void had absorbed it.
Yiyu froze in shock and even rubbed his eyes, afraid he had seen it wrong.
"Did I see that right? … The diamond ore was absorbed?!"
The other players were equally stunned.
"You guys saw that too? I thought I was seeing things…"
"I only know it definitely didn't fall…"
"What… just happened?…"
Although Yiyu and the Enderman were quite far apart, the players were all very attentive to the diamond ore.
The mont the Enderman dropped it, everyone's eyes followed it.
With so many eyes watching, there was no way they could have all been mistaken.
Yiyu and his team were sure that the diamond ore had been absorbed by the void.
That was the strange part.
They had seen Endern drop grass blocks into the void before.
When the grass blocks fell, they simply dropped into the abyss and disappeared.
But this diamond ore was absorbed.
Sothing was definitely odd. There must be sothing hidden within the void!
Just as Yiyu was about to report this to Steve, the Enderman below started behaving oddly again.
It opened and closed its mouth toward the void, making sounds like it was being attacked.
It kept emitting strange noises, as if it were communicating with the void.
Yiyu and his team observed the void carefully.
But they couldn't see anything unusual in the void.
They looked back at the Enderman.
Its behavior clearly suggested it was communicating with sothing in the void.
But whatever it was, Yiyu and his team couldn't see it.
"What is it saying to the void?…"
"I don't know… But I feel like this void isn't simple!"
"Could it be… HIM hiding in the void?!"
"Didn't the devs say HIM was removed?…"
"Removed, but not entirely erased. Maybe his consciousness lingers in the void, and he's using Endern to rebuild his body?"
"Hmm… Makes sense, but would he need diamond ore to rebuild his body?…"
"…"
Yiyu and his team guessed and speculated, but they couldn't co to any conclusion.
This void and the Enderman were definitely not ordinary.
Sothing must be hidden in the void.
And this Enderman clearly had so kind of awareness. It could communicate with the void and carry out tasks.
This led Yiyu and his team to suspect it was related to HIM.
After all, HIM had the ability to control monsters and grant them intelligence.
After a while, the Enderman finished "communicating" with the void, teleported to the portal fra, and stepped into the portal.
Seeing the Enderman leave, Yiyu sent a ssage to Steve, detailing everything they had just witnessed.
When Steve received the ssage, he fell into deep thought.
"Could it really be HIM?…"
The official update announcent had explicitly stated that HIM was removed.
And ever since the ga's servers went live, no one had reported seeing HIM again.
This had made Steve sowhat believe the official announcent.
But he still had doubts.
After all, Steve had seen the HIM vs. GM303 livestream.
The most unforgettable mont was when HIM said: "Hmm? Can't find my data information?"
And GM303's reaction clearly showed HIM had hit the nail on the head.
This alone was proof that HIM had no data information.
If sothing doesn't have data, how can it be erased?
Steve didn't understand programming or data structures. But basic logic was clear to him.
You can't delete sothing that doesn't exist. So Steve never fully believed the devs' claims.
But since the update, HIM hadn't appeared again. Steve didn't know the reason. Now, with this void event, Steve couldn't help but think of HIM again.
After so thought, Steve replied to Yiyu.
"This isn't sothing we can deal with. You guys co back."
No matter whether this was HIM's doing or not, it was far beyond Steve's ability to handle.
Even if he wanted to intervene, he didn't have the ans.
So he decided not to get involved.
After seeing Steve's ssage, Yi Yu and his companions headed back ho.
