Minecraft: loading new world

"Are you sure what you're seeing is a portal and not something else?"

That was the description of the End Portal all right.

What was it doing here in the first place?

And from what it described to me, the portal was also opened.

From what I know, that would be a one-way trip to The End. But then, how did the Ender Dragon appear on this side of the portal?

I quickly put the iron golems in my bundle and jumped over the rails to get as fast as possible down.

*boom

"Ssssssss"

I took a deep breath, as I was feeling the pain In my legs.

Because I was in a rush, I opened my cape too late, and it wasn't enough to kill the momentum.

"Can you move the Portal? Or better yet destroy it?"

Just as I thought, it was a helpless endeavor.

"What's the plan now, Alexa? If the portal is here, the dangers are to high to leave it alone like this."

That didn't sound good.

"Can you stop the process?"

Well, at least we had a temporary solution.

"How long it would slow her down?"

"And how long it would take if you didn't intervene?"

That was a big difference.

"But that's still just slowing down the inevitable. We need it to stop it or defeat it once and for all."

And there was one being that knew the answer to that question.

"You can start building the filter and absorb the Void energy. I'll be going to the Overworld and talk with the System."

"Not really, I'll brute force my way through its defense with this."

I said that while holding my mace.

"How long would that take?"

Oh, the guards from the Fortress wouldn't be able to survive for so long.

And the Stone Kingdom would enter full panic mode if I waited that long.

"I think it's better if we do it as soon as possible."

The question is, where would be the perfect place to do this?

I want to get the attention of the System, but I don't know how it would react when ill broke the barrier it worked so hard to put up.

Maybe it would try to bomb the place, or maybe it would bring my soul to its realm like last time.

In the end, I decided that I would break it somewhere isolated from civilization, so there wouldn't be any accidents.

You may be asking how I intended to do this, and the answer was pretty simple.

I got outside the Wither Bastion and built a portal frame.

My mace had 10 enchantments, 9 of them were for the mace to be easier to use, but the last one I chose was specifically made to break space.

The enchantment was Space Breaker, and it was used in the past to make the portals to the Nether.

Why did I choose this enchantment in the first place?

It wasn't because I thought I would be stuck in the Nether, but because I thought if I had enough energy stored inside my mace, I could make a way to Earth.

It may sound like an amazing enchantment, but it's usually used just once because the energy consumption is unreasonable high and the open space would only be one-quarter of a block.

Not only that, but it would last for one second before the space would mend back.

That's why it was only used once, to quickly gather data of the other dimension before using a more stable ways to connect the 2 dimensions.

Unfortunately, I couldn't put all of those enchantments on my mace, since I didn't have enough space for them.

But the enchantment was still valuable, and soon it would show its worth.

I lit a flame in the portal frame, and space began to bend once again.

But before It could stop and heal itself, I took out and charged my mace with half of the stored energy and activated Space Breaker.

Space began to break like glass, but since I used so much energy, the whole was several blocks big.

The world trembled for a bit before Space heald itself until it reached the frame of the portal and stopped.

Now, I could see the Overworld on the other side of the obsidian frame.

I saw a green forest with a sheep that looked confused at what had just happened.

From this, I could deduce that I was either in the Stone Kingdom or the Coral Kingdom.

And since the Wither didn't move too far from the previous portal, that would mean that I was in the Coral Kingdom.

I took a deep breath, held a Totem in hand, and took off my armor before stepping over the portal.

At first, the only thing I felt, was the cold wind of the forest, but then a sudden pressure arrived and tried to take my soul out.

But before that could happen, I quickly put the armor on and looked at the sky.

It's you again...How did you break my barrier? And why do you have so much energy in your mace?

Looks like I managed to stop the System from taking me into its realm.

At least I won't be dying too fast now.

"Well, a lot happened in the Nether, but my question is, why did you seal the portals?"

I don't know how, but that wrenched being has managed to break my Bedrock.

That should've been impossible to do at his current level!

That was because it wasn't him who did that, but the System didn't need to know this.

"That wouldn't explain why you did that. And why did you attack Alexa? Did you intend to destroy it as well?"

I suddenly felt a powerful wind hitting me, that took the form of a tornado.

The world around me began to lose color and from the middle of the tornado came the golden body of the System.

It felt like time had stopped, and I was facing a God.

But to be fair, this was most likely what happened.

You got here too fast for someone who just found out about what happened.

And the fact you managed to break my barrier is an anomaly in itself.

You're trying to trick me with something!

But you are too young and dumb to do that. So speak now, or I'll take the information from your head directly.

I felt like an invisible hand was trying to crush my head, even with the armor on.

I clenched my teeth and hit the ground with my Energy Mace, making a huge shockwave, but stopping the System's attack.

Looks like you learned very quickly how to use my gift.

"I have to thank you for it. And I guess it's true that I expected too much to easily trick you. I managed to defeat the Wither, that's why I have so much energy in my mace."

The golden figure raised an eyebrow but signaled me to continue.

"But unfortunately, he managed to recreate the effects of the Undying Totem to revive himself, and with that power, he managed to break the Bedrock."

As expected from a brute like him, he couldn't think of a long-term plan and cashed out all the power from the get-go.

But that means you failed the mission overall.

No, that can't be possible since you would've died by his head, no matter how often you defy the odds of death.

Looks like even the System is impressed by my adventures.

"That is true. We would've lost the battle if not for the fact that the Shadow Lord somehow managed to call for the Ruler of the Void. And with one chump, the Wither was gone, leaving us confused."

If you're still alive to tell the tale, that means that wasn't her true form.

The Void Energy is too corruptive for you to survive in it, even with your annoying armor.

That was a surprise.

Are you telling me, that the dragon I saw was just an avatar of the Void?

If only the avatar was this powerful, how powerful can she be in her true form?

"That's... not good to hear. After I managed to escape from the place, I met with Alexa, who told me that it could slow down the Void up to a year."

Hmm, this machine was made by that man, so it should be capable of absorbing the Void energy without being corrupted.

As much as I hate him, his ingenuity was something even I had to acknowledge.

Even though it was more of a curse for him than a blessing.

So why have you come here in the Overworld then?

"Well even if we can slow down the Void, we would still lose the Nether in one year. But even if you want to separate yourself from that dimension, if I could break your wall with my mace, then it would be nothing for the Void to do the same."

The System stood in silence while narrowing its eyes at me, not liking what it heard.

"I don't know why you'll want to run from the Void you once defeated. But if you don't want to do anything about it yourself, tell me at least how I can do it, and I'll do it. I am somewhat responsible for this mess, and I don't want, my friends to die from it."

We looked at each other in silence, the System tried to intimidate me while I stood my ground.

After a few tense moments, the System let out a defetead sigh.

You humans and your stupid determination.

Your ambition always brings more problems then solutions.

While I would say that this task would be impossible besides him.

You were chosen by him, and your unorthodox methods has brought you way further then any hero's I summoned.

Let's make a deal human.

If you manage to convince my hero's to join your cause, I would tell you my story and how I defeated the Void.

I don't know if the System knew that I wasn't on good terms with Daniel, but it's request was overall easy to fulfil.

"Can you tell me their location at least? "

The only response I got was a smirk, before it disappeared, making everything reaturn to normal.

"I figured it's not going to make it easy for me. At least I didn't piss it of more then usual. I think I'm getting the hang of speaking with gods."

After I relaxed my tense muscle, I went back to the Nether, where Alexa was still building the filter for the Void.

From what I could tell, it planned to move it's whole body In here.

While it could be dangerous, it was also the safest place in the Nether.

Everything in a thousand block radios was killed by the Withers army, and the only enemy capable of destroying it was now in the Void.

Overall it was a good idea.

Good job Sir, it's seems that the seal has been lifted.

That was good news indeed.
