He opened the system interface, turning his consciousness into a mouse-like object, and placed it on the settings button in the upper right corner.
Click Confirm.
He scrolled to the World Mode section.
The previously grayed-out [Creative Mode] button had turned a brilliant gold.
It looked as if it could be activated at any moment.
"It doesn't require waiting until 0:00 the next day for an automatic switch, which means it's a method more closely aligned with the game, then?"
Jack relaxed his body and used the mental cursor to switch to Creative Mode.
Buzz!
The moment he clicked Confirm.
No! Perhaps even before that!
Or perhaps, completely transcending the concept of time, from a more fundamental, distant fragment.
He, Jack, had directly become a complete Creator!
Without any limitations, a God of Creation who could directly wield authority to create all things!
...
Boom!
A sudden loud noise echoed through the sky of the Minecraft World.
This was not a sound in the conventional sense, but a spiritual tremor that every MC resident could perceive.
Inside the Eternal Church, Father Sebas, who was studying the Bible, suddenly burst into tears.
He knelt before the divine statue and began to pray.
"Ah! My great Creator! You have finally reclaimed your authority from the World-Ending Dragon and descended once more upon the world of your humble followers!
Ah! We are truly too honored!!"
His strange behavior influenced the other Gatekeepers and the ordinary Villagers of Entara who had come to worship.
With the priest, who was said to be closest to the gods, setting an example.
One by one, they all knelt down, expressing their eternal loyalty to the gods.
...
"Eh? This world, it seems to have changed?"
Alice-nushi confirmed multiple times that the booming sound she had just heard was not from Klee's bombs, then slightly focused her attention to perceive the deeper rules and mysteries of this world.
She discovered that.
The originally lifeless land had suddenly burst forth with vitality.
It felt like withered trees encountering spring.
"Interesting, could this be what my dear said before, that the impact caused by the first Creator's demise has been repaired?"
Alice-nushi had a thought.
A dead world beginning to revive meant it had a new master, which implied that Jack had completed the task of defeating the Ender Dragon.
Working backward, she then remembered being left in the Overworld to take care of the child.
The moment she thought of this, she became very unhappy, pouting her small mouth, and decided to demand a proper explanation from Jack tonight.
At least… at least without 100 Stage 5 Infernal demon hearts, Alice-nushi could not possibly forgive her husband!
Wait, my dear is already the Creator, 100 hearts are still too few, let's start with 10,000! Yes, 10,000!
...
Nether, Blazing Arena.
A ball of flame suddenly ignited on the altar.
A Infernal demon, illusory as if only its soul remained, appeared.
Its ancient eyes pierced through the void, looking towards the origin, speaking the language of Nether creatures that ordinary people could not understand.
"You have finally returned, our King of myriad demons!"
Also in the Nether, in the slumbering place of a certain Netherite Colossus.
The enormous war machine emitted a rumbling hum.
Lacking the ability of speech, it could only instinctively dance, stirring up a destructive lava tsunami across the lava-filled Nether.
...
The End, inside an The End City structure located a hundred and eight thousand li away from the Ender Dragon, the Gatekeeper of the The End.
The massive three-eyed monster (Void Lord (☆☆☆☆☆ Outlier)) paused briefly, then continued to play its meaningless harmony.
Just like its body, which resembled a horizontally laid speaker, merely the path of the harmonic waves destroyed countless newly spawned The End Cities and tens of thousands of Endermen.
...
Back to the scene.
Jack opened his eyes.
The greatcoat he was wearing had long since disappeared, replaced by a set of platinum divine armor.
His eyes were filled with golden flames, brimming with wisdom and calmness.
So cold!
So unfamiliar!
So… scary!
Ei gripped Jack's collar, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.
"Husband, are you… alright?"
"I am very well, Ei, never been better."
Jack looked directly at the Endermen below.
A thought flashed through his mind, and the Endermen instantly froze.
A few seconds later, that strange race, so shy that being looked at would make them chase someone for life, seemed to go blind, wandering across the yellow The End stone ground, completely unable to see Jack and the others.
The annoying little black ones were dealt with.
But everyone seemed to face a bigger problem.
Jack seemed to have become abnormal?
"Miss Keqing, Jack… he's become so unfamiliar, that gaze, it's just like the General-sama of the past!"
"Yes, I understand."
"Could it be that the Creator's power has a side effect, causing one's humanity to gradually diminish?"
"Hmm, it's not impossible."
"I think it's better to wake Jack up now~"
Nahida's voice echoed in Keqing's ear.
Keqing looked around; all the young ladies had their eyes on her.
She knew this was because she was lucky enough to be Jack's first woman, so the task of waking him up fell to her.
Since that was the case, she should not disappoint everyone's expectations.
She would go and rescue Jack from the trap of the Creator's power!!
"A—"
"Hoo~ Finally created it, tsk, this Creative Mode is really hard… Hmm? A-Qing, what do you want to say?"
The golden light in Jack's eyes disappeared, and his clothes changed back to the flashy 100-style, 0-defense greatcoat he had been wearing before.
"N-nothing, Jack, what happened to you just now? You became so unfamiliar and scary."
"I was unfamiliar?"
Jack looked at Nahida in confusion.
"When I entered Creative Mode, I did have a delusion of omnipotence; my entire soul drifted to a higher… no! A deeper abyss. So, Nahida, can you recreate what I looked like in your eyes just now?"
"I can."
Nahida waved her small hand.
The power of dreams began to manifest, and amidst a swirl of grass element mist, Jack's cold face reappeared in a mirrored form.
"Hmm, it does indeed feel like someone intoxicated by power. I was browsing the Creative Mode inventory interface at the time and didn't pay much attention to the outside world. I didn't expect my actual appearance to be so much like… a true god."
"From a conventional rational perspective, people would consider the laws of nature, which they initially revered, as the embodiment of gods. Therefore, the initial attributes of gods are fear, indifference, and cruelty."
"Then, Mr. Zhongli, if Jack uses this Creative Mode more often in the future, will he become a cold and cruel god?"
Keqing asked a question that concerned everyone.
Even Jack himself was curious to see how Zhongli, who seemed to know everything, would answer.
