Chapter 24: 19
The Demon Lords are powerful mobs probably around D or C levels/Urban or Nuclear (refer to Auxiliary chapter) in the game they were just more powerful mobs and they were found in Bastions and Ancient Demon Lords who are just stronger were found in ruined portals but after all it becoming real even Ender doesn't know what effect it had on them but he is confident that it was nothing that he can't handle if they were not loyal to him, already.
Ender stood in the heart of the Nether Fortress, surrounded by an assortment of block crosses, their eerie formations illuminated by the hellish glow of lava pools and Netherfire torches. To anyone unfamiliar with Minecraft, the scene might resemble a demonic summoning ritual. But to players, it was similar to testing new mods.
"All right, let's see what happens," Ender said to himself, his voice echoing in the oppressive silence of the Nether. He held a carved pumpkin in his hand, its grin oddly fitting for the environment. He placed it atop one of the crosses made of iron blocks.
For a moment, nothing happened. The carved pumpkin sat there, grinning mockingly. Ender tilted his head, frowning.
"Is there a bug?" he muttered, glancing around as if the Nether itself might explain.
Then an idea struck him. He extended his hand toward the inert construct, channeling his energy, his unique blend of XP and divine essence, into the iron cross. A faint hum filled the air, and the iron blocks began to tremble.
The transformation was instant. The iron cross twisted and contorted, glowing with an inner heat as they expanded. The carved pumpkin dissolved into the structure, merging seamlessly into what was becoming a lifelike iron golem.
The creature stood taller than the game version, its iron skin gleaming like polished steel under the glow of nearby lava. Intricate details covered its body enchantments and runes that seemed to form naturally as it took shape. Its eyes lit up with red light.
The newly created golem flexed its arms, emitting a deep metallic groan as it came to life. Its movements were smooth, almost human-like.
"Hah! It worked!" Ender exclaimed, his grin matching the excitement he felt. He took a step closer to the golem, examining its craftsmanship. The creature turned its head toward him, tilting it slightly in recognition.
"You're much more impressive than the game version," Ender mused, tapping the golem's chest. The sound was solid, like striking an anvil. "Let's see how you handle your tasks later."
Ender's success with the iron golem sparked a surge of enthusiasm. He turned to the other crosses he had prepared, each crafted from various materials, Netherite, diamond, gold, obsidian, and even magma blocks. Each one glowed ominously under the flickering light of the Nether, waiting for their turn to come alive.
"All right, one down, several to go," he said, rubbing his hands together. He approached the next cross, this one made of gold blocks, gleaming with a regal luster.
Repeating the process, he placed a carved pumpkin atop the golden cross and infused it with his energy. The transformation was more dramatic this time. The gold blocks liquefied momentarily, their surface shimmering like molten metal before solidifying again. The golem that emerged stood tall, its body radiating a faint golden glow. Its movements were more graceful, almost elegant, and its eyes burned with a warm, golden light.
"Golden golem," Ender muttered, impressed. "I wonder if you are just for show or if you have got some special abilities." He made a mental note to test it later, he also noted that it consumed much more energy than iron golem.
Next, he moved to the diamond cross. Placing the pumpkin on top and pouring his energy into it much more than gold, he watched as the diamond blocks refracted the Nether's light into a kaleidoscope of colors. The resulting golem was breathtaking a crystalline figure that shimmered with every movement. It exuded an aura of resilience and power, its very presence commanding respect.
"Now this," Ender said, grinning, "is what I call a tank."
Turning to the Netherite cross, he felt a rush of anticipation. This one, he knew, would be formidable. As his energy flowed into the blocks for some time, he was only pouring his energy for a few minutes and the transformation began.
The Netherite twisted and reshaped itself with a sound like grinding metal. The figure that emerged was massive, its surface a dark, matte black, with glowing red veins coursing through its body like lava. Its eyes burned with a fierce crimson glow; two horns emerged from its forehead and bent like a crown, and he looked more like a demon than a golem exuding raw power.
"You," Ender said, pointing at the Netherite golem, "are going to be my favorite. No one is going to mess with you."
Finally, he approached the magma cross. This one was the most volatile, the blocks bubbling and hissing even before he added his energy. When he did, the transformation was explosive. Lava dripped from the golem's body as it emerged, its form constantly shifting between solid and liquid. The air around it shimmered with heat, and its glowing orange eyes seemed alive with fire.
"Whoa," Ender said, taking a step back to avoid the intense heat. "A living furnace. You will be perfect for scaring off anyone."
With his new creations standing before him, a lineup of golems each unique in form and ability, Ender felt a swell of pride.
"Welcome to the family," he said, addressing his creations. "You are going to be the first of many. Let's see what you can do."
The golems stood motionless, awaiting orders, their glowing eyes fixed on their creator. Ender couldn't help but smile.
"All right," he said, rubbing his hands together.
"Let's see what else we can bring to life. If this is how simple mobs look after becoming real, I can't wait to see what a boss mob will be like."
A grin spread across his face as he glanced at the materials prepared for a Wither.
(Nether Fortress)
Ender stood before the obsidian altar deep within the Nether Fortress, a strong place needed for what he was about to do, a grim sense of anticipation weighing on him. It was time to take his experiments to the next level. The Wither is a boss mob known to wreak havoc. Now, however, it was going to be something far more real, and potentially far more dangerous.
He placed three Wither Skeleton skulls atop a T-shaped structure/cross of soul sand, each skull radiating a faint, malevolent wither energy. The air around him grew heavy, filled with an oppressive silence.
"Well," he muttered to himself, "let's see what Nether Boss is compared to Elder Gods." He infused the structure with his energy, his hands glowing faintly as the power coursed into the soul sand and skulls.
The transformation began immediately. The soul sand seemed to liquefy and swirl, drawing in dark, crackling energy from the Nether itself. The three skulls merged into one massive, glowing head before splitting apart again, forming a grotesque three-headed structure, each head radiating a distinct aura of malice.
The newly formed Wither roared, shaking the very ground beneath it. Its skeletal body was much more detailed and menacing than in the game, with jagged ribs protruding outward and veins of Netherfire pulsing along its bones. As it hovered in place, it began to absorb nearby Nether energy, growing stronger by the second.
"Okay, that is... terrifying," Ender admitted, "But it's not done yet."
He could feel it trying to absorb more energy. Pouring more of his energy into the Wither, he attempted to see if it could evolve beyond its current state. The Wither reacted violently, its form shifting and mutating. One of its heads morphed into the shape of a wolf, snarling with jagged, fiery teeth. Another took on a draconic appearance, its long, sharp jaws crackling with electricity. The central head remained humanoid but grew larger and more grotesque, its hollow eyes now blazing with crimson light.
The Wither's body elongated, sprouting skeletal limbs tipped with claws that dripped with molten lava. A second set of hind legs emerged, resembling those of a massive, predatory beast. The final transformation was complete when a long, whip-like tail, tipped with a flaming barb, unfurled behind it.
Ender stared in awe at his creation, which now resembled a monstrous fusion of a Cerberus and a skeletal dragon. It let out an ear-splitting howl, the sound reverberating throughout the Nether and sending nearby Piglins scattering in terror.
"You are a masterpiece," Ender said, looking at his latest creation with awe. "A being worthy of the title of the boss"
The Wither or rather, the Wither Cerberus—fixed its three heads on him. For a moment, the air crackled with tension as the creature sized up its creator. Then, all three heads lowered in submission, their fiery eyes dimming slightly.
Ender let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. "Good. Now, let's test just how powerful you are."
He led the Wither Cerberus out into a desolate expanse of the Nether, where he commanded it to unleash its full potential. The creature obeyed without hesitation, firing beams of wither energy from its three heads and summoning waves of Netherfire from its tail. Lava erupted from the ground wherever it willed, and its claws tore through the terrain like it was paper.
"Noice," Ender said, watching the destruction unfold. "You will be terror in the field. And if anyone dares to enter Nether, well... they will have you to answer to."
The Wither Cerberus roared once more, shaking the Nether to its core as if declaring its allegiance to its creator. Ender could not help but feel a sense of pride.
After spending some time observing the Wither Cerberus and ensuring its control, Ender decided to shift his focus. The Nether was a vast realm, but now it was time to explore another realm, the End.
"I think it's time to check on the End. Who knows what has changed since the Ender Dragon fell?" he mused.
It was the place that changed his life, the fall into the void after defeating Ender Dragon. His in-game avatar jumped into the void for some reason. He thought it was a bug, but after all that happened, he had a feeling it was more than that.
The thought of the Ender Dragon brought a glint to his eye. "Oh man, I will have to ensure to take the dragon egg this time. If it can hatch, I might just have myself a dragon mount." Ender chuckled at the thought, the sheer idea of soaring through the skies on the back of a dragon filling him with excitement.
Having seen the majestic Ice Dragon crafted by Buri, he knew how awe-inspiring such a creature could be. Though Buri's creation wasn't a true dragon, it was still a formidable force of frost and raw power. Gaia's Earth Dragons were also impressive, with their immense strength and elemental connection, but they lacked the primal majesty of a 'real' dragon. Even the Lightning Dragon he had forged, lightning given a physical form, was powerful, yet it still didn't satisfy his vision of what a true dragon could be.
The Ender Dragon, however, was different. It wasn't just a beast of his own making or an elemental construct; it was something ancient, primal, and monstrously powerful with the different add-ons, even more so the guardian of the End.

A slightly shorter chapter.
I forgot to add another important prompt but here-
Wither Energy. This dark, corrosive force was the very essence that powered the Wither itself, drawn from the destructive energies of the Nether and enhanced by Ender's own divine influence. With this newfound ability, Ender gained access to a range of powers that blended destruction, decay, and domination.
[Corrosive Aura] Active
You can emit an aura of Wither Energy that slowly deteriorates anything within its range. Organic beings experience rapid decay, while inanimate materials like stone and metal corrode and crumble over time. The aura is also capable of neutralizing weaker magical protections and disrupting energy fields.
[Wither Constructs]
Using Wither Energy, you can create temporary constructs like barriers, weapons, or even minions. These constructs are infused with the destructive power of the Wither and are particularly effective against living beings or magical entities.
[Wither Curse Infliction]
You can curse enemies with Wither Energy, causing their vitality to drain rapidly while leaving them in a weakened state. The curse spreads like a virus, capable of infecting others who come into contact with the cursed individual.
[Decay Manipulation]
By focusing his energy, You can accelerate the decay of objects or organic matter. This power extends to large-scale effects, such as collapsing entire structures or rendering vast swathes of land barren.
[Wither Amplification]
You can channel Wither Energy into your creations, enhancing their power and durability. For instance, you can strengthen your Nether constructs, infuse armor knights with necrotic enhancements, or empower the Wither Cerberus to an even greater degree.
[Immunity to Decay]
As the wielder of Wither Energy, you are immune to all necrotic effects, including the harmful aura of other Withers. This immunity extends to your creations, allowing them to thrive in environments saturated with Wither Energy.
[Wither Dominion]
You can manifest a massive storm of Wither Energy, enveloping an area in destruction. The storm corrodes everything within its range, leaving behind a barren wasteland devoid of life or energy. This ability is devastating but consumes an immense amount of energy.
That's it.
I wanted to show the demon lords but then decided not to cause they are just stronger mobs and nothing much; you can guess the powers of the golems.
I will not show End, probably because most of it is the same except for a few new mobs and throne, etc.
Aether will be shown in the future.
The next chapter will be a time skip, probably around the time humanity emerges.
I will show the child's POV, general POV, and maybe some other beings too.
