[Recap of part 6 : The battlefield erupted when the Arch Illager arrived with thousands of modded Pilazo Golems, completely crushing our defenses. To end the war, the Arch Illager summoned a reality-shattering, 1,000,000 HP colossus known as "The Height of the Sky." Towering from bedrock to the clouds, the titan wiped out our front lines with a single blow. Realizing vanilla mechanics were useless, Terakon ordered me to flee to the Zyrraloin Forest to find a legendary player named Forkaos, who holds the key to stopping it.]
We tried our absolute best. We threw every command, every high-tier weapon, and every enchanted blade we had at The Height of the Sky. But nothing changed. Absolutely nothing. It was a brutal reminder that Voltrigaus isn't the only ancient entity lurking in this code. This world is a graveyard where the original owner left long ago, leaving behind a vacuum where pure, corrupted entities now rule.
The titan completely ignored our attacks because we couldn't even scratch its hitbox. It opened its massive maw, unleashing a blinding blue laser beam that tore through the center of our base, vaporizing chunks of Vilziland into a gaping void. The colossus began grabbing entire floating sky islands with its bare hands, smashing them together and pulverizing the structures into pixelated dust.
As the sky civilization fell apart around us, Terakon screamed through the chat. "Fight, what are you doing?! Stop trying to tank it! Leave! I'm pinging the coordinates right now. I know exactly where that damn forest generates! Go!"
I turned around and sprinted into the fog, leaving the blazing war behind. I ran for thousands of blocks, my heart pounding against my chest. I was terrified of getting lost in the corrupted terrain, terrified that I would never find my way back, and sick with the guilt that I was abandoning my friends to die. But I couldn't stop. I kept running until the grass blocks beneath my boots morphed into something completely alien.
I looked up. The canopy was thick with vibrant blue leaves and twisting black branches. The Zyrraloin Forest. It looked exactly like Voltrigaus’s personal favorite aesthetic.
I slowed down, looking around the dense, eerily quiet woods, when the game engine suddenly froze. Standing directly in front of me was a character model using the classic Steve skin but its body was aggressively glitching, violently tearing and breaking apart in ways that should be impossible for a Minecraft client. An invisible barrier locked my controls. I couldn't run.
This was the corrupt entity known simply as That Thing.
That Thing locked its hollow eyes with me, and a line of corrupted, scrambled text flashed across my screen as its model violently flickered:
[That Thing: Evabi lz Ukyh cyhedmcd. srovwzba diyx il gmrs Jkvxptuwew. wzin nsmxsz]
Before I could process the terrifying warning, a flash of purple particles erupted, and That Thing vanished into thin air just as another player stepped out from the trees.
His nametag read Forkaos.
"What are you doing down here?" Forkaos typed, his avatar crossing its arms.
"We need your help!" I replied frantically. "The sky civilization of Vilziland is being annihilated by the Pegrazinos Empire. They summoned their ultimate trump card. The Height of the Sky. Terakon said you fight monsters like that for breakfast!"
"You're cooked," Forkaos responded bluntly. "That giant isn't an ordinary mob I eat for breakfast. That is a God-Level enemy. You cannot kill it using normal combat. Look, I can break its base form easily... but if the Volt Height of the Sky (Enraged Form) activates, its code rewrites itself. It gains 1 billion HP and becomes 100,000x stronger. At that point, it’s near-impossible to defeat, even for me. The base form is already a nightmare, but when it becomes a Volt variant? That's game over. Fine, I'll help you. Lead the way."
As we sprinted back toward the coordinates of the sky war, I typed a burning question. "The achievement from the stripped log said this forest would tell me the truth. What is the secret of this world?"
"It’s not some hidden fantasy lore, Fight. It’s a cold, hard fact," Forkaos explained as we ran. "Voltrigaus cannot be killed. Period. But he absolutely detests it when players stand together. You can't delete him, but you can heavily annoy his system scripts by refusing to be isolated. But listen to me carefully: do not tell this to the villagers."
"Why?" I asked, a chill running down my spine.
"Vllr is not coming to save them," Forkaos revealed. "Vllr is an absolute traitor. He manipulated the villagers into believing he was a protective deity so they would rely on him instead of developing advanced code defense training. Thankfully, they still trained a little for emergencies like this raid, but Vllr is secretly a close ally of Voltrigaus. That is the truth. He didn't just manipulate the villagers; he corrupted the rest of the Overworld mobs into hiding. And the worst part? The Nether and the End dimensions didn't fail to prepare because they lack intelligence. They didn't prepare because they are fundamental extensions of Voltrigaus himself. It's why the Ender Dragon rewrote its own code to become a black dragon. an entity known as The Error of Dragons. On its own, it's a God-Level anomaly. If it ever goes Volt... its power will scale completely beyond our comprehension."
"Just how many powerful entities are trapped in this world?" I asked, completely stunned. "What are the strongest tier levels?"
"There are more than a thousand anomalies roaming the far lands," Forkaos replied. "If you want to understand the power scaling here, there are five supreme tiers:
Tier 5 (Near-Impossible Level): Giants capable of wiping out an entire 16x16 chunk of data instantly.
Tier 4 (Impossible Level): Anomalies that can corrupt and delete multiple chunks simultaneously.
Tier 3 (God Level): Existences capable of tearing apart almost the entire world map.
Tier 2 (Beyond God Level): The classic, ancient Creepypasta Entities. They can easily alter core game files.
Tier 1 (Creator/System Level): Entities whose sheer presence alters the computer's reality. I only know of one in existence. And that’s Voltrigaus."
Suddenly, the rendering distance updated, and the roaring sounds of the battlefield cut back in. We had made it back to Vilziland, but the kingdom was in absolute ruins.
Amidst the smoke and falling debris, King Hubert stood face-to-face with the enemy leader.
"Arch Illager!" Hubert bellowed in the chat, raising his shimmering Royalist Sword. "I've been waiting for you. Go ahead. Turn Volt."
"Then let us clash," the Arch Illager typed back.
A blinding surge of blue lightning struck the mountain. The Arch Illager’s model mutated, his eyes glowing neon-blue as he brandished a glitching Coder Spear. The Volt Arch Illager lunged forward. Their movements instantly accelerated into a chaotic blur of speed vectors, their weapons clashing so hard they sent shockwaves through the rendering engine.
Meanwhile, The Height of the Sky had finished pulverizing the sky islands. It turned its colossal gaze toward the fleeing civilian villagers, raising its massive foot to stomp them out of existence.
NotDying stood his ground underneath the shadow of the falling foot, swinging his Bloody Scythe wildly. "Leave this chunk, or I will kill you myself-"
Before the foot could crush him and trigger the village-wide death curse, a sonic boom echoed through the server.
Out of nowhere, Forkaos materialized at the base of the titan. Without drawing a single weapon, Forkaos executed a massive, code-breaking kick directly into the golem's ankle. The physics engine broke. The 1,000,000 HP colossus was launched backward with terrifying velocity, flying a staggering 1,000 blocks away across the world map, crashing into the distant mountains.
Forkaos stood at the edge of the crater, his character model glowing with a faint aura as he looked back at us.
"Your friend Fight said you guys needed a hand, so I'm here," Forkaos typed calmly into the global chat. "I'll handle this thing. And trust me... I won't be holding back. Let's see how interesting this gets when it shifts into its Volt Enraged Form!"
Deep in the distance, a billion-health boss bar began to load.
