In his memory, there was only one kind of person who would do such a thing.
A player!
Only a player would do something like that!
Galen Yu often lost interest in a save file after adding many mods and spending a long time building it up, then never touched that world again.
Now that the Alloy Wargod had said this, could it be?
"Then, do you remember what they were called?"
Galen Yu asked tentatively.
Raking his memory, the Alloy Wargod eventually shook his head.
"I've forgotten."
Although it was a creature created by that person's own hands, time would eventually erode everything.
Even the hardest rock would bear the scars of time.
Recalling carefully only brought back a blurry figure; it really had forgotten quite a bit.
"In my blurred memories, I only recall that he was about the size of a villager, could fly freely in the sky, and accomplished many things."
The Alloy Wargod couldn't recall anything more specific.
Unable to learn more, Galen Yu could only let it go.
"Defeating the Dragon of Execution to become the Lord of Civilization? Fine by me!"
This was exactly what Galen Yu had in mind when he entered the Block World.
Now that the Alloy Wargod had proposed it, there was no reason to refuse.
As a player, his journey was the sea of stars!
Even if the road ahead might be arduous or even cost him his life, that was the joy of the challenge.
This was the path chosen by all those belonging to the group known as players!
"Very well. But before that, you still need to challenge two bosses to truly become a Large Chunk Lord and earn the chance to come to the Titan Chunk."
"The Dread Queen of the Dread Realm, and the Dragon Mother of the Dragon Realm."
These were the next challenges he would face.
Keeping these two names in mind, Galen Yu smiled and nodded.
According to the normal progression of Ice and Fire, he had to deal with these two bosses anyway to obtain gear and items.
It happened to align perfectly with his own goals!
"You don't seem afraid."
Having finished the explanation, the Alloy Wargod spoke calmly.
"I know you have already seen the strength of the dragons and successfully defeated them, but I must still warn you."
"The Dragon Mother is very strong, and the Dread Queen is very strong as well. They are entirely capable of one-shotting the current you."
Knowing this full well, Galen Yu's expression remained calm.
"I understand."
"Good."
As this limited exchange was about to end, the Alloy Wargod suddenly spoke.
"Actually, I'm quite curious. What were you thinking when you came here and saw me?"
A normal person, arriving in a place made entirely of iron blocks that looked so much like heaven, would feel at least some degree of panic.
Yet, while Galen Yu was surprised, he had quickly adjusted his state. He was composed and natural throughout the process, showing not even a hint of tension.
Even upon seeing the Alloy Wargod—a powerful, burly entity far taller and more massive than a dragon.
After the initial surprise, there was still no tension or panic.
This persistent calmness made the Alloy Wargod curious about what Galen Yu was actually thinking.
Facing this question, Galen Yu's answer caught everyone by surprise.
"Tell me... do gods bleed?"
"Hmm?"
As he finished that sentence, the time was up, and Galen Yu was teleported back to the chunk.
Looking at the spot where he had disappeared, the Alloy Wargod was stunned for a moment. After savoring the meaning of the words, it let out a laugh.
"Ha, haha... The choice was correct. You really are very similar to that person."
"I truly look forward to the scene where we meet and talk after you reach the Large Chunk."
"If that time ever comes."
A hint of complex emotion appeared in the Alloy Wargod's red pupils.
The familiar feeling of weightlessness arrived, and once color returned to his vision, Galen Yu was back where he started.
He was back at the spot where his Elytra had run out of durability and he had used his SlashBlade to land.
Everything was unchanged. The dragon's corpse was still on the ground, and the Dragon Hunt had not yet concluded.
Aside from a flower larger than a human head resting on Galen Yu's head, everything that had just happened with the Alloy Wargod felt as surreal as a dream.
"He's finally back!"
"The little red flower on his head is still there, which means it wasn't a dream just now?"
"Holy crap, he really was requested by a Large Chunk Lord to slaughter dragons and become the King of Civilization!"
"'Do gods bleed?' God Yu's words were so cool!"
"The Alloy Wargod really is like a god. I'd be lucky to even stay standing if I saw him, but what was God Yu thinking?"
"It couldn't be deicide, could it?!"
"If it's God Yu, then that wouldn't be surprising at all!"
Savoring that final sentence, the global audience was in an uproar.
Regarding gods, the other contestants had already given their answers without any of this extra drama.
The Indus Kingdom would kneel to the Naga, Mark would pray to God, the Samurai respected various deities, and the same went for the other Alliance members.
Their first reaction toward a god was respect, mixed with a complex slurry of fear, avoidance, and self-interest.
Only Galen Yu's reaction upon seeing the Alloy Wargod was pure.
"Do gods bleed?"
Recalling the scene at the time, Fries murmured to himself.
If it were him, he could never have thought of such overbearing words!
Even if he didn't push back hard, he would be thinking about how to serve the god well to get some benefits from the Alloy Wargod.
After all, as a Large Chunk Lord, even the smallest crumbs of resources from his hands would be enough to make anyone happy for a long time.
Slaying a god?
He wouldn't even dare to dream of it!
But Fries felt that Galen Yu didn't just dare to think it—he actually dared to do it!
"Perhaps this is why the Alloy Wargod took the initiative to invite him and request Galen Yu to become the Lord of Civilization!"
He just finished a set of Dragonsteel, and he's already thinking about slaying gods!
Who else would have this kind of courage or boldness?
Returning to the chunk, Galen Yu looked around.
He hadn't actually thought that much about it; it was exactly as he had said.
The guy showed a health bar, so what else was there to do but kill him?
Even if it is a god, as long as a health bar appears, I'll show you that they can be killed!
However, from the subsequent conversation, the Alloy Wargod didn't seem like an enemy.
The familiar environment set his mind at ease as he took the little red flower off his head.
Pop!
The giant flower turned into a pile of small red flowers. Poppies were now planted all over the area.
Since he was outside the Sky Island, there were no blocks laid out here for now.
A firework rocket shot into the sky as he took flight once more.
All his equipment durability was fully restored, which was one of the benefits of meeting the Alloy Wargod.
As for why it was only one of the benefits...
He flew back to the platform atop the Black Mage's wooden boat, returning to the Sky Island chunk.
