Evil God? My servants are players!

What did the count do?

"Damn old man! Is he Einstein?!" Shen Yuan inside the seal was complaining frantically.

No one expected that the purpose of the count's ceremony was to summon Shen Yuan.

At first, the count unexpectedly discovered the truth behind the pollution, a "door to the truth".

Subsequently, the Earl discovered the existence and utilization of advanced energy through just one contaminated core and two harassing phone calls.

He first established a ritual to collect and store emotional energy and the power of existence.

In the beginning, the Earl may have simply wanted to forge a Philosopher's Stone to fulfill his wish.

But as the research deepened, madness overcame reason, and the count's behavior began to spiral out of control.

He began to adjust the rituals and learn more about them.

Furthermore, the count became extremely craving for pollution, and he began subconsciously seeking out more of it.

Moreover, after rationality was suppressed by madness, instinct gradually took over, and the count began to perform some subconscious actions.

For example, the spread of pollution manifested itself in the replacement of high-ranking officials and guards. As a result, the numerous replacements almost hollowed out the count, turning him into a boneless mass of flesh and blood.

The count also had an instinct that even Shen Yuan was unaware of: the desire to pay homage to the gods. He began to adjust the ritual, hoping to connect with the true god, Shen Yuan, through the large amount of energy stored in the ritual.

Even though the Earl had a large amount of directional material, he still couldn't connect to Shen Yuan due to the seal.

But everything changed after the players appeared on the surface and were discovered by the Earl.

It should be noted that the players are the only ones who can almost completely ignore the seal, and the Earl has also vaguely sensed the special connection between the players and Shen Yuan.

If you replace the directional material with the player, the ritual will definitely succeed!

So even if it means losing the bishop's stand-in, the count will keep the players on the surface.

Thus, the deaths of the players became a new indicative element for the Count, and his ritual was nearly successful.

But even though it was almost a success, the Earl still lacked a certain element to connect with Shen Yuan, a element that connects Shen Yuan to something beyond his identity as an evil god.

That was a material representing humanity, but the Count, who had gone mad, had long abandoned his humanity, and the ritual was destined to fail.

But Veronica's arrival shattered everything. As a precious relic left behind by his deceased wife, Veronica still retained the Count's last vestiges of humanity.

Therefore, the Count sacrificed his last vestige of humanity and successfully initiated the ritual.

Driven by a series of unexpected events and fate, the Count actually managed to summon an evil god from scratch.

But the Earl's actions were a joke in the face of the seal; he did not succeed in summoning Shen Yuan, but simply turned the harassing phone call into a video call.

The dark sun in Hamlet Town was merely a projection of Shen Yuan shown in the video call.

But this very projection brought destruction to the town of Hamlet.

Fortunately, Shen Yuan hung up the phone in time, which saved Hamlet Town from destruction.

All of the above information was gleaned by Shen Yuan from a fleeting glimpse of Hamlet Town during a video call.

After all, under the gaze of an evil god, no truth can be hidden.

However, Shen Yuan's immediate priority is to deal with the consequences caused by the Earl.

After all, Hamlet Town is still Shen Yuan's forward base, and it can't be destroyed by the Earl of Hamlet.

Although Shen Yuan wanted to kill the mutated Earl Hamlet directly, he simply didn't have enough points.

"Damn old geezer! This is going to be a huge financial blow!"

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and sent out his hero unit, Hyacinth, leading the players towards the surface under the guidance of the mission.

But this time it's different from the time with the goblin chieftain. The Count's power after the mutation was all collected by himself, so he naturally wouldn't surrender just because of Hyacinth's identity.

Shen Yuan sent out Hyacinth only to facilitate His intervention if necessary.

However, as mentioned before, it takes at least a day to get from the ninth underground level to the surface.

During this time, those struggling in Hamlet can only hope for the best.

Fortunately, Shen Yuan hung up the phone quickly enough, and only some unemployed townspeople who were directly exposed to the black sun 'evolved'.

As for those professionals, they have already evolved compared to the unemployed; they need more pollution to facilitate their "evolution."

Therefore, professionals have a certain resistance to Shen Yuan's corruption, and this resistance will increase as their level increases.

"Cough cough cough."

Veronica struggled to push away the rubble that was pressing down on her.

The moment Veronica saw the black sun, she thought she was going to die.

Fortunately, the black sun disappeared quickly enough, otherwise Veronica would have suffered the same fate as the Earl of Hamlet.

Veronica now realizes that she has just murdered her father, but surprisingly, she doesn't feel anything special, only a faint sadness lingers in her heart.

After all, Veronica's memory of the Earl of Hamlet had long since become blurred; the only thing she still cherished was the home that had been gone for so long.

Then, Veronica, clutching her wound, saw the monster swaggering around on the ruins of the castle.

At this moment, the monster that the Count has transformed into is wreaking havoc in Hamlet Town, but its first target seems to be those huge, living houses.

I'm not particularly interested in the little people running around everywhere for now.

Severely injured, Veronica knew she was no match for the monster before her.

Veronica wasn't one to be inflexible; she planned to recover her strength before challenging the monster again.

However, Veronica desperately needs help right now, otherwise she will have a hard time navigating this dangerous place.

"We should have exchanged contact information with that adventure team back then," Veronica complained after dodging the monster's 'gaze'.

------

Compared to Veronica, the situation for the Ice Adventure Team on the other side was even worse.

They and the players are facing a direct siege of the Chaos Egg.

The group, who were frantically harvesting among the guards, were suddenly surrounded by layers of guards after the guards mutated.

At this moment, everyone is forming a circle, with those inside responsible for healing or dealing damage, and those outside responsible for holding the line.

"I shouldn't have held back! I shouldn't have doubted those resurrected ones!" the thief complained after dodging the tentacled thrusts of the Chaos Egg.

"What is this?! What is that?! What just happened?!" The priest, hiding under the protection of the warrior, seemed to be crying from the series of events.

"Vice-Captain! What do we do next?!" The warrior asked Sasha for her opinion while blocking the Chaos Egg's attack.

Sasha's mind was in even more turmoil; what had just happened was too sudden and the amount of information was too much.

Sasha gazed at the collapsed castle and the enormous monster, murmuring, "It seems Veronica has failed. I guess we'll have to rely on ourselves."

Then, Sasha pointed to the entrance to the Sien Dungeon and said:

"Prepare to break out of the dungeon! It shouldn't be affected by the ritual there!"

Then, Sasha said to the phase man:

"Please lead your people to break out of the dungeon. Staying here will not end well."

Just as the phase man was about to say something, Sasha interrupted him directly:

"I know you are brave and fearless of death, but it would be a great loss to die here in vain."

"Think about the bright future, don't waste your life here! Let's go!"

It seems that in Sasha's eyes, the players have self-destructive tendencies; after all, what good person isn't afraid of death?

However, the Phase Man did not accept Sasha's offer because Shen Yuan had given them another mission.
