"Where did that door come from?"
"How did I miss that just now? God Yu's eyes are too sharp!"
"It's so tiny and hidden in the void. There's no way I would've found it!"
"Well, that's God Yu for you!"
"But even if there is a door, how do we get in?"
"It's only one block high and surrounded by bedrock. We can't exactly mine bedrock, can we?"
"Insta-killing the Ender Dragon was already insane, but mining bedrock?!"
Following Galen Yu's point of view, the viewers spotted the End Gateway.
Unlike other portals they had seen—be it the Nether Portal or the End Portal...
Even the Twilight Forest had four large pits you could jump into. But this End Gateway was unique.
It was only one block wide, as if it were trying to keep people out.
"Is there more? Another world within another world?"
The Blonde Elder felt it was a bit much.
He had only noticed it after Galen Yu's reminder, and now he was observing it closely.
"It's so well-hidden. Could Galen Yu really have found something good in there?"
Trash wasn't worth hiding; only treasure was!
It appeared only after the Ender Dragon's death. Could it contain the dragon's hoarded treasures?
Dragons had a habit of hoarding treasures, making this theory highly plausible.
Staring at the screen, the Blonde Elder was filled with curiosity and apprehension.
"How do we get in? Should we use shrinking magic?"
Staring at the one-block-high End Gateway, the Wandering Mage asked.
Upon hearing this, Galen Yu gave him a very strange look.
Feeling awkward under the gaze, the Wandering Mage was confused.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Do you... know every kind of magic?"
Galen Yu was genuinely curious.
Up until now, many difficulties had been solved by the Wandering Mage; it felt as if he knew everything and could fix anything.
Judging by their earlier confrontation, he shouldn't have been more powerful than the Black Mage.
"Haha, well, not exactly."
"After Sky Island was corroded, many things were lost. But because of that corrosion, many forbidden spellbooks leaked out."
"I just learned a few more back then. While I can use them, the effects aren't actually that great."
At this, the Wandering Mage's expression turned slightly sheepish.
To have survived until now, he must have come into contact with all sorts of magical things to some degree.
Yet his strength remained mediocre; it really felt like he was a bit of a lost cause.
Besides, things like shields and invisibility were minor spells.
Truly powerful magic should be like the Architect's, capable of directly imprisoning a boss-level creature for one's own use.
"There's no need for magic. Take this."
For a mere End Gateway, magic was both too extravagant and a sign of incompetence.
Regardless, there were plenty of Endermen in the End; killing a couple would easily provide Ender Pearls.
He tossed one to the Wandering Mage.
"I don't need to teach you how to use this, right?"
He threw the pearl directly into the End Gateway. As the weightless sensation of teleportation washed over him...
When Galen Yu opened his eyes again, he had arrived in another world.
[REMOTE WARP]
"Wait, you just need an Ender Pearl?"
"Such a simple trick! I didn't even think of it!"
"My brain is so fried from the shock God Yu gave me that I completely forgot Ender Pearls existed!"
"I almost thought he was really going to break bedrock. Scared me to death!"
"Where is this? It looks a lot like the End!"
"It's all made of End Stone, but what are those purple, plant-like things?"
"They're so dense they cover almost the whole world. I really want to use a flint and steel..."
"We've got a griefer here!"
Seeing the world behind the End Gateway, the audience was amazed once more.
Not only did they look strange, but those purple, plant-like vines seemed to bear some fruit?
"So this is the End's other world."
Following in Galen Yu's footsteps, the Wandering Mage arrived.
There were also many Endermen here, and unlike the central End island, this place seemed vast.
One area was connected to even more stretches of End Stone.
"Purple fruit?"
Approaching the nearest Chorus Tree, the Wandering Mage looked around with curiosity.
He plucked the topmost fruit, holding a Chorus Fruit in his hand.
"It looks like it might taste good?"
"I suggest you don't eat that."
As the Wandering Mage wiped the surface and prepared to take a bite, Galen Yu cautioned him.
Hearing this, the Wandering Mage became even more inquisitive.
"Why? Is it inedible? Is it poisonous?"
"No, it won't kill you, but... you can give it a try."
With permission granted, the Wandering Mage took a bite out of curiosity.
A rich flavor exploded in his mouth, and he chewed, enjoying the taste.
"It's actually quite nice. A bit like blueberry jam. Mmm, such a concentrated fruity aroma!"
Just as he was about to say more, the next second...
Pop!
The Wandering Mage vanished from before Galen Yu's eyes, leaving only a cloud of purple Ender particles behind.
With a told-you-so expression, Galen Yu scanned the area and found the dazed Wandering Mage on a nearby patch of End Stone.
"So, how was it? I told you it's better not to eat it."
"Indeed."
Looking at the vast void surrounding them, the Wandering Mage pulled his head back.
It was one thing not to know the effect, but now that he knew eating it would cause random teleportation, he didn't dare consume it carelessly again.
If he accidentally teleported into the void, it would be over.
"The purple fruit looks so good!"
"I want a taste too! God Yu, save one for me!"
"What? Eating it causes random teleportation?"
"Isn't that the same as an Ender Pearl? If it tastes good, it's not out of the question!"
If he accidentally teleported into the void, it would be over.
"The purple fruit looks so good!"
"I want a taste too! God Yu, save one for me!"
"What? Eating it causes random teleportation?"
"Isn't that the same as an Ender Pearl? If it tastes good, it's not out of the question!"
"The hell it is! You can choose where to teleport with an Ender Pearl, but you can't with this fruit!"
"It's purely random! What if you fall into the void?"
"Even the Wandering Mage doesn't dare try it again. I think I'll pass."
The things in the End were extremely attractive to the viewers.
However, after witnessing the Wandering Mage's experience, that attraction gradually faded.
Some experiences weren't meant to be lived through twice. Isn't staying alive better?
"This is interesting. I should collect some!"
Without eating any more, the Wandering Mage decided to gather some Chorus Fruit for experiments.
Having explained the risks, Galen Yu didn't care what the Wandering Mage did and looked ahead.
He hadn't come here for Chorus Fruit; Elytra were the key.
Not knowing the exact location, he could only take it one step at a time.
He had the Wandering Mage apply a speed buff and began his search.
His luck was decent; before long, he spotted a building that stood out from the rest.
An End City!
It was a purple city featuring several End Ships, Chorus Flowers, Chorus Plants, and Purpur Blocks.
Approaching the city, he observed it from up close.
[THE CITY AT THE END OF THE GAME]
Aside from the basic blocks, there were some special little guys here.
Upon seeing Galen Yu, a purple block suddenly moved. A creature popped its head out, aimed, and fired a tracking missile.
Being hit by the missile caused not only damage but also a special effect.
'Levitation'
A bizarre sensation one could never experience in the normal world—feeling light-headed and weightless, as if adrift in outer space!
