I felt that every part of my body was hard to move, I felt like my arms were made of iron, my legs were far longer than normal and my eyelids were trembling.
My conciseness started to slowly get more ground, but I was too lazy to do anything.
The temperature was perfect, but my body seemed to be sore all over the place like I'd been asleep for a whole day.
I'll stay like this for 5 more minutes then wake up to challenge the Mad Prince and save Violet and Alexa.
Yeah, that sounds like a solid plan that needs plenty of rest.
.
..
...
....
"Wait but I already did that!"
I quickly got up looking around in panic.
Suddenly, I felt a headache rushing over me as memories slowly came back.
I was fighting the second in command which took longer than expected but still won, when I started to fight the Mad Prince everything went south.
At least that's what I wanted him to think.
Of course, I lost the battle anyway, I couldn't see myself winning in that situation but the real plan was for Alexa to wake up Violet and take it to a designated place and break my Perl to teleport as well.
The strategy was to bombard her head with loud messages and noises, but if that didn't work, I gave Alexa permission to scan her body.
I knew she didn't like it, but desperate times calls for desperate measures, and it seemed to work.
While I was distracting the Mad Prince and everyone else, Alexa did her job and woke up the Enderwoman.
Once Violet realized what was happening, she listened to Alexa's instructions, ripped the chains off herself, and teleported away.
After this, she must've broken the Perl since this doesn't look like a camp.
But I don't remember anything after the battle, and where was I?
I looked around at the Blue trees recognising the biome I was in, but not the place itself.
From beyond a tree, a floating angle was floating before laing its eyes on me and quickly came towards me.
<Sir, you're finally awake! Quickly build a portal and let's get out of here. It's too dangerous to stay here any longer!>
This was the first time I heard Alexa so panicked, what happened while I was asleep?
"Calm down Alexa, what happened, why are you in such a hurry?"
<Sir Trader, I have to insist you build a portal and take off your armor so Violet would know your awake, she's been constantly teleporting for a week without rest, I don't think she can hold this for much longer.>
We were being hunted, but how?
And what do you mean she's been teleporting constantly for a week, is that how long I was asleep?
I had so many questions to ask, but this was an emergency so I did everything Alexa instructed.
I built a portal, lit it, and looked around the cave to see if it was safe, then took off my armor and got back to the Nether.
"So what exactly happened while I was asleep?"
<I'll report to you later, for now, I'll explore the caves further so monsters won't bother us.>
"Ok? Here's some torches, you can place them on the floor to stop monsters from spawning."
<Thank you, I'll use those.>
Then it was gone, leaving me alone with my thoughts on what could've happened in the past week.
After waiting for 15 minutes, Violet suddenly appeared in front of me filled with glowing wounds all over the body with a look of relief on her face.
"MY....human."
She said that before falling face-first on me which made me quickly catch her so she wouldn't get hurt.
"Ugh...she's heavy, I have to get her a potion of healing soon."
With a lot of hard work, I managed to drag the 4 block monster to the other side of the portal.
After I safely placed her on the floor, I took out my pickaxe and broke the portal, finally having some time to rest.
"Oh boy, what happened to you Violet?"
All over her body were wounds made with swords or axes, not only that, but it seemed to give a similar effect to specter arrows making them glow.
Looks like being invisible didn't work after she got those wounds.
But how is that possible?
She could've teleported anywhere she wanted to and they couldn't do a thing.
But it seems they still found her.
I slapped my face to get my focus back, I needed to heal her wounds now, not solve the mystery.
Unfortunately, she's already unconscious so I couldn't give her a golden apple to regenerate.
I took out one of my strength potions and quickly drank it, leaving me with an empty bottle.
Then I took out the brewing stand from my Ender's chest together with some nether warts and a ghast tear.
Next, I placed the water down from my bucket, careful not to touch Violet, and filled the bottle with water.
Soon I had a regeneration potion in my hand, and unfortunately, no gunpowder to make it a splash potion.
It was a little inefficient, but I poured the contents on the wounds directly and the last few drops in her mouth.
With a relieved sigh, I sat down and looked as her wounds were visibly closing and her expression changed from one of pain to one of comfortable sleep.
I was glad to see that.
<Looks like her condition is getting stable. How do you feel Sir?>
I took out the sword and shield by instinct only to realize that it was Alexa who spoke to me.
"I'm doing fine. I guess you've finished scouting the area, can you tell me what happened now?"
<Affirmative. I tried to wake up Violet by communicating with her telepathically, but unfortunately I didn't have any success, luckily the scanning process seemed to do the work, and after almost destroying this body, she was willing to listen to my instructions and teleport towards your Perl.>
So the plan worked in the end.
<Afterwards, we broke the pearl and you appeared, but unconscious similar to how Violet had previously. Because we were in a rush we decided to take you and Telport away. Unfortunately, it seems that the Mad Price anticipated this, so he forced Violet to hold a block with curse of Biding on it, and the Signal enchantments. Since her hand was registered as inventory, she couldn't let the block go no matter what we tried. That's when the danger came. Because we couldn't build our own portal or wake you up, we decided to run away, but no matter where we hid, they always managed to find us. We tried to separate, but because I wasn't invisible anymore, I was more of a danger to you than help, resulting in Miss Violet teleporting constantly and getting more tired as time passed.>
That happened while I was asleep!?
How could I do that, why couldn't I wake up and build a portal to get away?
What kind of potion did the Mad Prince throw at me?
<In the end, Miss Violet was able to convince a few Endemans from a blue forest not to attack us, and she teleported away so the Brutes couldn't catch us.>
That was very admirable from Violet, and I'm impressed that she managed to hold on for so long. She dereves to get some rest.
"This was a nightmare to deal with, but I'm glad everyone is alive at the end. I don't know how I would've felt if Violet died because of me."
<Sir, if I may interrupt, I finished scanning Violet and she has information that you likely want to know.>
That put me on the spot, but she didn't want to be scanned, so maybe it's better if I don't know.
"It's ok, you don't need to tell me."
<Even when she is related to the person who brought you here into this world?>
That confused me a little.
"What do you mean Alexa, I know who brought me here, and I knew Violet is the same since she is a monster. The Void used her power for both of us."
<Negative. While your body was created from the Void, it was used as a power source, meanwhile, the monsters and the Lords were created with the Void as a tool.>
What was Alexa talking about?
Was there a difference between those two?
"What do you mean?"
<It means whoever brought you here and created Violet, is someone different from the one who create the monsters.>
This new information threw me off.
The only entity that I know in the End to be this powerful is the Ender Dragon, and she's most likely the one who fought the System and created the monsters.
But Alexa now is saying that there's another entity on the same level in the End?
Who could it be?
And why did it bring me into this world?
"Do you know anything else?"
Looks like I couldn't keep my curiosity in check.
<Affirmative. It seems that your and Violet's bodies have been modified by the Crystal project.>
The Crystal project?
I think I heard about that before, but I don't know what it does.
"What's the Crystal project?"
<Crystal project was created with the intention of making a device powerful enough to modify the biology of all living beings. It was a great success. Unfortunately, I can't recreate the enchantments since the System limited them enough not to work. But the device was so impressive, that the System made it into an item."
Seriously?
That sounds impressive.
"And what's that item?"
<You already have it, sir. You've been using it as an explosion device all this time. I have to say, I was surprised when I first scanned it since it's such in a stable form, but it seems to help you more with blowing stuff up then modifying the flesh.>
Is that the true purpose of the Crystal?
I knew it could heal the Ender Dreagon, but I thought it was just a feature in the game, not a device that it's forcefully modifying you body for a better state.
This was mest up, but also kind of impressive.
No wonder the System was mad that I used it last time, it's just to dangerous in the wrong hands.
"Do you know how to use this thing correctly then?"
I said that while placing the Crystal down.
Alexa flouted around the Crystal and started to analyze it. A few moments later a few blue tabs appeared in from of him.
Then I felt like something was trying to scan me, but becouse of the armor it couldn't go for too long before it stopped.
<Just as I thought, it seems to have the same functions as the ones that I have at my base. I can scan things deeply and change its structure if I have the necessary energy for it. But this Crystal seems to be in a constant state of being on verge of the destruction, but not in the same time, making it an almost infinite source of energy.>
That...sounds very useful to have in so many situations.
And to think that I only used this as explosives.
No wonder the System didn't bother me anymore with this, It's like I had a gun with bullets but I used it as a club.
"So how do I get access to it?"
<It's simple. Put your hand at the base of the Crystal and imagine yourself getting connected to it.>
I put my hands on the bedrock looking base without touching the Crystal and closed my eyes while imagining a link between us.
Like a click, I felt that my mind was connected in a way similar to how Alexa talks with me.
While the connection was similar, I felt that this was inferior to Alexas, since it was sending feelings instead of words.
To test how it worked, I decided to scan Alexa.
I imagined the blue angel is my mind and a few tabs appeared in front of me.
And once I saw what was written there I could only say:
"Alexa, what are you?"
