The voice of the wings came coldly, like a heavy hammer fiercely smashing onto Wither King's heart.
Hearing this demand, Wither King's feeling was simply identical to that little demon who received the order to kill Tang Monk and his disciples.
"Me?"
"Defeat Entity 303?!"
"What kind of joke is this?!! He's an invincible existence, okay?!"
Wither King couldn't help but complain, the demand put forward by the wings was simply unbelievable.
Actually, it wasn't wrong that Wither King lost his composure like this. With his current strength, in the entire big family he could practically be considered at the very bottom position.
From Wither King's reaction after the wings put forward their demand, it could clearly be seen that his biggest problem was a lack of confidence.
These wings had always been with Wither King, and he frequently used them, yet he never once noticed that the wings had actually developed self-awareness.
The reason behind this was that Wither King had never once truly affirmed himself.
Wither King was once the ruler of the Nether, but even when he was high in position, in his heart he never truly had a sense of recognition toward himself.
In his view, only Dread lord was the one most suitable to lead the Nether.
This kind of thought had deeply taken root in Wither King's heart, like a shadow he could never get rid of.
Whenever he thought of Dread lord's inexplicable disappearance, Wither King would secretly sigh. If Dread lord were still here, then the master of the Nether would definitely be none other than him.
Yet reality was so cruel, the gears of fate made him become the inheritor of this position.
Later, Wither King and Dread lord together sought refuge under Xu Yuan, serving under his command.
During this time, as Xu Yuan's forces continuously expanded and capable people appeared one after another, the unease deep inside Wither King's heart only grew stronger.
Before, he only thought himself inferior to Dread lord. But now, within this huge family, he suddenly realized that there were so many other powerful beings in the world.
In this big family, every member possessed earth-shaking strength, their existence enough to shake the entire world.
And at this moment, Wither King, for the first time, truly felt his own smallness and powerlessness.
This feeling was like being shrouded in an invisible pressure, making it hard for him to breathe.
Once, he trained day and night, constantly improving his abilities, with all his heart wanting to escape the fate of being at the bottom. However, the people around him were also frantically racing forward, and he could never catch up to their footsteps.
Before, he still had the capital to spar with Dread lord, sometimes even exchanging a few moves.
But as time passed, he suddenly realized that whether it was fitting into this family or his own strength's growth, Dread lord had already left him far behind.
This already made him feel defeated, but what he couldn't bear even more was that the one surpassing him wasn't just Dread lord alone.
In this vast family, it seemed that every member had already left him behind.
In the past, Death Knight often humbly asked him about various battle skills.
Now, even Death Knight no longer asked a single word about tactics.
It seemed that everyone's strength had already surpassed his.
He worked so hard, yet in the end became the one at the bottom of this family.
Because of this, Wither King had never affirmed himself. He always felt that in this big family, he was just a filler.
If not for Dread lord, Xu Yuan probably wouldn't have looked twice at him, nor taken him under his command.
In this family, he had always played the role of a small transparent.
This was also the reason those wings had not affirmed Wither King.
If he himself had never affirmed his own value, how could the wings possibly affirm him?
And those wings, the demand they put forward to Wither King, though different from the demand Dread lord's stone sword had put forward, it wasn't hard to see their starting point was actually the same.
They were both for the sake of letting their wielder overcome their own flaws.
Wither King's long-standing problem was unworthiness.
But in truth, he was not weak. His strength back then could go head-to-head with Dread lord.
Even with the old Null, he could exchange several rounds.
It was precisely because of this unworthiness all along that caused Wither King's strength to gradually sink to the bottom.
Before even starting a battle, he already felt he was inferior, couldn't win, how could he possibly win?
This was why the wings put forward that Wither King must defeat Entity 303.
It wasn't to make Wither King really defeat Entity 303, but to force him.
They knew Wither King, for the greater good, would definitely go all out to battle Entity 303 once.
They also knew Wither King couldn't win against Entity 303. But they also knew very clearly that Wither King had the strength to fight Entity 303 for a few rounds.
Wither King didn't need to win against Entity 303. Just those few rounds of battle would be enough to make Wither King understand the painstaking intentions of the wings.
Obviously, at this moment Wither King still hadn't understood the good intentions and painstaking care of the wings.
"Whose competitiveness did it inherit to be this fierce?!!"
Wither King actually didn't want to fight, because in his heart it was crystal clear, this battle had no chance of victory at all.
However, he knew full well that this fight was bound to happen, unavoidable.
In this big family, he was already a transparent person with practically no sense of presence.
If only he failed to gain recognition from his wings, thereby holding up the whole progress, then he would truly become the burden of the entire family, and that would make him utterly ashamed.
Wither King, face full of worry, eyes hollow and helpless, looked around at the others, trying to get some help from them.
But unfortunately, his "idol," Dread lord, was busy at this time struggling with his own "ancestor."
As for the others, they too were helpless, not knowing what to do.
Still, though the current situation was tricky, everyone was still trying their best to help Wither King.
"Its meaning is just to win, right? No other restrictions, so maybe if Entity 303 doesn't use fire control, that's fine?"
"Even without fire control, Entity 303 is invincible… there's no way to defeat him, right?…"
"So what exactly is the definition of defeat?…"
"I've got a few salted fish here, maybe… lend them to you?…"
At this moment, the "duel agent" Entity 303 cautiously approached Wither King, lowered his voice, and said, "No worries… my acting's pretty good. When the time comes I'll secretly go easy on you a bit, should be fine!"
"I've noticed, all these weapons are just stubborn tsunderes!"
"Just give them a little step down, and they'll climb down quick!"
After speaking, Entity 303 confidently patted his chest, showing everything was under control.
However, after hearing these words from Entity 303, Wither King couldn't help but roll a huge eye.
"Please, big brother, it grew up with me…"
"The voices I can hear, it can hear just as clearly too, okay?…"
There was no need to wait for the wings to speak themselves, Wither King knew very well in his heart, this plan absolutely would not work.
If it were some other weapon, maybe there was a chance to muddle through.
But unfortunately, the wings were tightly linked with Wither King, fully one with him.
Leaving aside whether the wings could hear this "conspiracy spoken in front of their face."
Even if Entity 303 didn't speak it aloud, once deliberate holding back appeared in real battle, the wings would definitely be able to sharply sense something was off.
Because they were one body, one life, whatever Wither King felt, the wings also felt the same.
Hearing Wither King's words, Entity 303 also felt a bit helpless.
"Then what do we do?"
"If you can beat me, then pigs can climb trees…"
Entity 303 didn't mean to belittle Wither King, but the truth was, the gap between their strengths was just too big.
Hearing Entity 303's words, off to the side Steve seemed unable to hold it in and let out a "pfft" laugh.
Steve's laughter immediately caught Wither King's attention.
Entity 303's words already had made him a little annoyed, but since Entity 303 was speaking the truth, Wither King couldn't explode.
But Steve's laugh instantly lit Wither King's anger.
After all, he was still the ruler of the Nether. If others stronger than him laughed, that was one thing.
But now, even a player dared laugh at him, where was his face to go?!
"What do you mean?"
"Aren't you just relying on being invincible?"
"If I had that kind of ability as backup, even if you could control flames that burned everything, I could still beat ten of you!"
"Back in the day when I unified the Nether, you brat weren't even born yet!"
Wither King also had a temper. This belonged to, he could deny himself, but if someone else embarrassed him, denied him, then no way.
No matter what, he was still the ruler of the Nether. To be embarrassed by a brat, how could he ever hold his head up again?
That's why they said Entity 303 was a brat, Wither King's words had also provoked him.
"Something's not right!"
"The most fitting for you should be your mouth!"
"All these years your strength hasn't improved much, but your mouth has gotten harder and harder!"
"Tsk… if you used your mouth to fight me, maybe you really could win!"
These words of Entity 303 were truly excessive, his mockery power fully maxed out.
Even Death Knight and Null at the side couldn't stand it anymore.
They were about to step in to stop it, but then saw Dragon Prophet and the others frantically winking.
Death Knight and Null, seeing this, seemed to understand something.
"Taunting tactic?"
"Could it be Entity 303 is doing this on purpose?"
Hearing their words, Dragon Prophet nodded, then shook his head and said.
"Whether it's on purpose or not, if it can stir up Wither King's fighting spirit, then it's already half done!"
Dragon Prophet couldn't say for sure whether Entity 303 was intentional.
Judging by Entity 303's nature, he probably hadn't thought so deeply, so most likely it was a lucky hit.
But that was fine too. If Entity 303 had really tried to act it out, maybe it wouldn't have worked this well.
But what Dragon Prophet was sure of was that just now, the noise Steve made was definitely intentional.
Actually, from the start, Dragon Prophet, Ender Queen, and the Last Dancer had already understood the wings' meaning.
But they couldn't expose it directly.
Just as they were at a loss, they suddenly noticed Entity 303 had started running his mouth.
If at that time, others had joined Entity 303 to laugh at Wither King, most likely it still wouldn't have been able to ignite Wither King's anger.
That fuse, having Steve play the part was the most suitable.
Because Steve was a player. Even though Steve was a top player and wielder of the Blade of War God, his strength was still far inferior to Wither King's.
Wither King could accept being laughed at by others, but he absolutely could not accept being laughed at by Steve.
