Thinking up to this point, the real HIM frowned tightly.
His eyes were shut, as if he wanted to completely seal some memories in his mind and never touch them again.
That person he resisted remembering so much was like a deep scar carved into the depths of his soul.
Everything related to that person was like an endless nightmare. Every fragment was so painful and hopeless, without the slightest warmth.
The real HIM had personally witnessed far too many tragedies happen. Those scenes played in front of his eyes like movies again and again, tearing his heart apart each time.
He once did everything he could to save those people who suffered D's cruel persecution, yet every effort in the end turned into nothing.
Even though he possessed strong power, compared with D's strength it seemed insignificant, like a mantis trying to stop a cart.
Not only that, he had also sincerely tried to persuade those innocent living beings to stay away from D's temptation.
But D, being the creator god, had abilities beyond imagination. As long as he wished, he could freely change form and become anyone.
Even worse, after noticing the real HIM's actions, D actually stepped things up even more.
He cleverly used various chances to stir up relationships between living beings, players, and the real HIM, creating countless misunderstandings and conflicts.
Gradually, the real HIM found himself isolated and helpless, surrounded by looks full of doubt and hostility.
Thinking back on those dark, lightless days, the real HIM's heart was filled with helplessness and pain.
He clearly knew that behind many seemingly accidental tragedies was D's hidden hand controlling everything. Yet even knowing the truth, he could do nothing, only watch more innocent lives struggle in suffering.
And what made him feel most sad was that almost no one was willing to believe what he said. His voice in this chaotic world seemed so weak and small.
At first he did not understand why D did this. He did not know what D's motive really was.
Only after a later meeting did the real HIM finally understand the purpose behind everything D had done.
That meeting was not a chance encounter. It was a trap set by D for the real HIM.
Under his careful arrangement, those close followers of the real HIM personally beat to death a zombie that had followed the real HIM the longest.
When the real HIM rushed there after hearing the news, all he saw was a cold corpse.
Then D made a "grand" appearance. With a satisfied smile on his face, like an audience pleased with a performance, he applauded this show while telling everyone the truth.
After the followers around the real HIM learned the truth, all of them made the same move. Right in front of the real HIM, they ended their own lives.
After going through all this, the real HIM had already become numb. He wanted to personally kill the unforgivable devil in front of him, even if it meant risking his own life.
But he could not use any strength at all. That feeling of helplessness almost broke him.
And what defeated him was not the helplessness of being unable to kill the enemy, but the conversation D had with him afterward.
After doing all this, D seemed finally satisfied. He slowly walked up to the real HIM. Seeing the look in the real HIM's eyes that seemed ready to tear him apart, he let out a disdainful laugh.
"Looks like you really hate me?"
D did not wait for the real HIM to answer and continued speaking on his own, "The height you stand at decides what you see, so right now you will hate me."
"I also saw your potential, but the people around you are clearly just burdens."
"They believed my words so easily and killed the person you trusted most, and that person you trusted most did not even have the ability to save himself."
"They will only become obstacles for you."
"So, I am actually helping you."
At this point, D blinked and continued with a smile.
"You local beings really do not understand what life is, do you?"
"Having grand, unforgettable memories is what makes a perfect life."
"No matter how many years pass, you will still remember today's scene, right?"
After a round of high-sounding nonsense, D finally tore off his disguise.
He shrugged and sighed, "Ah, forget it. Anyway, you would not understand even if I said more."
After saying that, D slowly moved closer, looking at the real HIM with a playful expression.
"So what if you are the legendary HIM those players talk about?"
"So what if this world has so many unknowns?"
"You are all just toys in my hands."
"I can easily change your lives and control your existence."
At this point, D paused, as if remembering something, and continued, "Maybe one day I will feel like becoming a savior. Like some of my friends, I might create a peaceful and beautiful world for you."
"I will talk about that after I get tired of playing. Right now it is still interesting~"
After saying all this, D disappeared from the spot on his own. He did not even look at the real HIM again.
Even now, the real HIM clearly remembered every word D said back then, every pause, even the tone he used while speaking.
Those words were like a brand mark, stamped deep into the real HIM's heart.
It was also those words that made the real HIM, even until today, unable to define what kind of being D actually was.
After going through countless storms and personally experiencing many ups and downs of life, the real HIM's views toward people and things in the world had completely changed.
Those people he once could not figure out and those things he once could not understand were now all clear to him.
With his current broad vision and the high position he stood at, just a little contact with someone was enough for him to accurately analyze that person's true nature.
However, D was the only one the real HIM simply could not define.
Without exaggeration, D's existence completely overturned the real HIM's understanding of humans, or even all "beings capable of thinking."
The real HIM knew D's true identity, but after deeply studying and fully understanding D, he could no longer treat him as a human.
Of course, the real HIM also never treated D as a creator god.
To the real HIM, D was nothing more than a thinking creature without empathy, who saw all living beings as ants, ignorant, and ridiculous.
Before, this ignorant creature did not have a clear goal. Everything started from his playful mood.
But now this ignorant creature had a goal, and the real HIM had also found the thing he feared.
After thinking this, the real HIM told Xu Yuan everything about D, J, and Notch all at once.
As expected, the information provided by the real HIM matched exactly with what Xu Yuan had gathered, without the slightest difference.
Although the information he had deduced matched what the real HIM said, Xu Yuan still had some questions.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the real HIM and asked, "Do you know about D and J dying in the real world?"
