Following Galen Yu, the Wandering Mage had also collected a backpack full of Chorus Fruit.
Arriving at the End City together, he spotted small creatures at the city gate.
"Are these new creatures too?"
Watching Galen Yu flying in the sky, the Wandering Mage appeared somewhat dazed.
"When did you learn flight magic?"
Even he hadn't mastered it, yet Galen Yu had?
"Wait, it's not magic—it's those little guys!"
Quickly realizing something was off, the Wandering Mage looked down at the Shulkers on the ground.
Homing missiles flew toward them, nearly impossible to dodge. Upon being hit, the Wandering Mage also entered a state of levitation.
Admittedly, it felt quite miraculous.
He drifted into the sky before he knew it, as if swimming through the air.
The wondrous scene left the bullet chat in awe.
"I just blinked, and everyone's flying?"
"It's those purple creatures' doing. What on earth are they?"
"They're hiding in things that look like boxes. Honestly, they're pretty cute inside!"
"Exactly, just a pair of little eyes blinking away. Truly unique!"
"The damage isn't even that high. Why do I suddenly want to keep one as a pet?"
"It's fine, experiencing flight like this is pretty great!"
"Are these the Elytra God Yu mentioned?"
The levitation state allowed for swimming in the sky, which did sound similar to the description of the Elytra.
Silently floating into the sky, Galen Yu felt the effects of the levitation.
A Shulker was merely a creature, not the Elytra he sought.
He didn't have the means to keep one as a pet for now, but he could use their power to slowly ascend to the highest point of the End City.
Aside from the End Stone and Shulkers, the most valuable items here were a few loot chests and the Ender Chest.
The black chest looked different from ordinary ones, sporting a deep, dark hue, and its function was related to the Ender.
No matter where you were, as long as you placed an Ender Chest, you could access items stored inside regardless of distance.
It could be considered an incredibly practical item.
After taking everything, the most important item was still stored within the End Ship.
It was a ship-like structure built in mid-air, guarded by three Shulkers.
"These little guys look cute, but they're a real pain to deal with,"
the Wandering Mage complained.
After the initial novelty wore off, all that remained was endless annoyance.
He had to slowly kill them one by one or directly break the blocks they were attached to.
Of course, that was assuming he could reach those blocks in the first place.
Once the levitation effect wore off, Galen Yu used his SlashBlade to teleport into the interior of the ship.
This was Galen Yu's true objective.
Near a Shulker, there were two chests, and above them in a display case—
A piece of equipment, thin as a cicada's wing and uniquely shaped.
After dispatching the Shulker, Galen Yu took a deep breath and retrieved the Elytra.
He swapped his chestplate, stepped out of the End Ship, and held a firework he had prepared in advance.
"Are you going to set off fireworks here?"
The Wandering Mage asked, noticing Galen Yu's new look.
Without a word, Galen Yu answered with action.
He stood at the highest point and leapt into the void.
"Have you lost your mind?"
With a startled cry, the Wandering Mage watched as the Elytra on Galen Yu's back flared out.
Without any magic, assistance, or Shulkers, relying solely on those wings on his back, Galen Yu soared freely through the sky!
"He's actually flying!"
"No joke, God Yu is totally hacking!"
"Teleportation and flight—he's got the full set now!"
"And people say he's not hacking? He's literally flying!"
"He's really taking off now. With the Elytra, what zombie or monster could possibly scare him?"
"Which zombie can stop someone flying in the air?"
"Incredible!"
The global audience was stunned by this scene.
Until now, no player had managed to reach the sky, not even by borrowing methods like the Shulkers.
Now, Galen Yu could fly freely on his own!
And his maneuverability was incredibly high!
"He's truly flying!"
Fries exclaimed in admiration.
Despite his suspicions, he was still profoundly surprised when he saw it for himself.
With these wings alone, who else could pose a threat to Galen Yu?
He couldn't think of anyone!
The Blonde Elder's expression had never looked as miserable as it did now.
"Flight! If only Mark had it. An angel should be the one flying!"
The wings that should have belonged to an angel had been given to Galen Yu!
"Is there truly no one who can stop him?"
In The End, Galen Yu swam through the sky with his new Elytra.
He felt exhilarated!
"Alright, it's time to head back."
With his tasks complete, the next step was to return to Sky Island and claim the final rewards for slaying the Ender Dragon.
They returned through the Gateway first, then crossed back via the bedrock portal.
Having prepared invisibility magic beforehand, the zombies posed no problem for them.
Upon returning to the Overworld, Galen Yu received a notification.
