At this moment, after hearing Xu Yuan's words, both Tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM were a little stunned.
Tyrant HIM frowned slightly, his sharp gaze fixed on Xu Yuan, and said in a firm tone, "Since one side must become the final victor, then we should choose a set of competition rules that everyone can accept."
Then, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a confident smile, as he continued, "And for the three of us, the simplest and most direct way is nothing more than battle."
At this point, Tyrant HIM glanced at Annoying Village HIM, then looked back at Xu Yuan and continued speaking.
"I think… as another version of me from a different plane, and the person chosen by another version of me from a different plane, you two must have long wanted to spar with each other, right?"
Tyrant HIM's little scheme was completely impossible to hide and was fully exposed in his words.
Among Annoying Village HIM, Xu Yuan, and Tyrant HIM, whether the other two wanted to spar was still unclear, but one thing was certain, Tyrant HIM was the one who most wanted to spar.
After Tyrant HIM finished speaking and saw that Annoying Village HIM and Xu Yuan did not respond, he assumed they had tacitly agreed, and then continued talking to himself.
"If we're going to spar, then this Land of Trials is undoubtedly the most suitable venue."
"In this Land of Trials, everyone loses their special abilities and can only rely on their true strength to win."
"A showdown like this won't be influenced by any other factors. It's completely fair, and whoever wins, the other two surely won't have any objections."
Annoying Village HIM, standing to the side, quietly listened to Tyrant HIM's remarks. Although he secretly agreed in his heart, he did not immediately echo them and instead fell into deep thought.
After all, since Xu Yuan asked this question, there must be a reason behind it.
After thinking for a moment, Annoying Village HIM slowly raised his head, his sharp eyes fixed on Xu Yuan, and calmly asked, "Could it be that you have another plan to end all of this?"
Annoying Village HIM knew very well that ever since entering the Land of Trials, Xu Yuan had always adhered to the principle of avoiding war, and he had indeed done so.
But after all, what came before were only mergers between factions, not the final decisive battle, and there truly were ways to avoid war.
Now, however, the critical moment had arrived, and he really could not imagine how a winner could be selected without triggering conflict.
Yet from Xu Yuan's tone, it seemed that he had already found a way to end everything without war.
So Annoying Village HIM was still somewhat curious and was more than willing to hear Xu Yuan's thoughts and plan.
At this moment, after hearing Annoying Village HIM's words, Tyrant HIM once again turned his gaze toward Xu Yuan.
Seeing that both Tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM were looking at him with curious expressions, Xu Yuan let out a helpless sigh.
He did not directly answer Annoying Village HIM's question. Instead, he looked at the two of them and asked in return.
"Have you ever thought about why you were suddenly summoned to this world without any warning by another version of yourselves from another plane?"
Hearing Xu Yuan's question, both Tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM were startled.
Their reactions and expressions were surprisingly identical, both wore completely bewildered looks.
It had to be said that after spending so much time together, Tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM had finally found a common point.
That was that from the moment they came to this world until now, over such a long period of time, neither of them had ever thought about the question Xu Yuan had just asked.
Tyrant HIM was the type with a go-with-the-flow personality, and when he first arrived in this world, he was already in the Dark Space. At that time, his only thought was to leave the Dark Space, and he didn't think too much about anything else.
Soon after, he met Xu Yuan, and what followed was an exchange of information and mutual understanding between him and Xu Yuan, and then the Land of Trials.
He simply never had the time to think about why he had been summoned here in the first place.
It was only after Xu Yuan suddenly brought it up that Tyrant HIM remembered this matter.
He was dazed for a moment, then frowned, thought for a bit, and finally spoke.
"After he gathered all of us, he opened the Land of Trials."
"After winning the Land of Trials, we will obtain his power."
"He probably wants to use his power to help us resolve our predicaments…"
At this point, Tyrant HIM let out a long sigh, then looked at Annoying Village HIM and Xu Yuan and said, "Before I came here, the situation in my world was also complete chaos."
"I am the leader of the Undead race, but my strength isn't strong, so the overall situation of the Undead race is very unfavorable right now."
"If I can obtain his power, I believe I can definitely lead the Undead race to rise!"
After hearing Tyrant HIM's words, Annoying Village HIM pondered for a moment.
The reason Annoying Village HIM had also not had time to think about this question was entirely because he was the last of the three to arrive in this world.
After arriving here, before he could think about anything, he was tricked by Entity 303 into the Dark Space, and then entered the Land of Trials.
However, after Xu Yuan raised this question, Annoying Village HIM's answer was actually quite similar to the one Tyrant HIM had given.
His situation was also similar to Tyrant HIM's. Before coming here, his world was likewise a complete mess.
He wanted to protect his world, and he believed that his ideals were the same as those of the true HIM, both wanted peace in the world they lived in.
The only difference was that the methods he used were different from those of the true HIM.
But Annoying Village HIM did not think there was anything wrong with this. In his view, the process was not important; only the result mattered.
After thinking this through, Annoying Village HIM no longer intended to hide anything. He glanced at Tyrant HIM and then spoke honestly.
"My situation is actually similar to yours. The world I come from is extremely complicated."
"There are many factions, and each one has its own goals. Because of this, that world is constantly plagued by war."
"My goal is very simple, to restore peace to that world."
"It's just that I don't have enough power to achieve my goal…"
"If I can obtain his power, I can solve all the problems!"
Seen this way, what the true HIM said was indeed not false. Tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM truly were himself from different planes.
Although their personalities were vastly different and the things they had experienced were completely different, their ways of thinking were astonishingly similar.
They were both pursuing power, pursuing even greater power.
Yet they had not thought about one question.
The true HIM, who could create the Land of Trials and even summon versions of himself from different planes into this world, already possessed sufficiently powerful strength.
If sufficiently powerful strength could solve all problems, then why would the true HIM go through the trouble of holding this trial?
He could already summon Tyrant HIM and Annoying Village HIM here, so with his power, couldn't he directly help them solve their problems?
