Evil God? My servants are players!

"Let's team up, there's a lot of new content in the missions," the Phase Man suggested as he flipped through the new missions.

[Our Town! The Crusade: False Justice]

Hamlet was the garden ordained by the Lord, yet something, without His permission, wreaked havoc there, greatly displeasing Him.

But the Lord is still sealed away and cannot deal with the termites in the garden, so it is the turn of His retinue to take care of them.

Even a small insect is far too powerful for the Familia members who haven't yet fully matured.

Moreover, our newly acquired allies are no match for these little bugs.

However, the merciful Lord still cares for His followers, and He has given us the means to defeat our powerful enemies!

[But those mutated guards seem to have chosen to stand in front of the retinue. Deal with them! Don't let them disrupt the ceremony!]

One more thing! It seems our frail allies and their people are trapped in Hamlet. If possible, please help them.

[Task Objective:]

1. Arrange the ceremony at one of the six designated locations in the town. (0/6)

2. Reduce the number of Chaos Eggs until it is less than 500. (2214/500)

3. Rescue the trapped residents.

[Task Rewards:]

1. Start the next stage of the task.

2. Upon completion of the task, you will be rewarded with a large amount of gold coins, experience, and a certain amount of favorability.

3. Each Chaos Egg killed rewards gold and experience; each resident rescued rewards a small amount of gold.

"Six locations! Let's split into six teams based on the numbers we rolled on the dice!" the muscular man called out.

Then, the two hundred or so players were evenly divided into six teams.

The team consisted of about ten experienced players around level 30, twenty new players around level 20, and a few level 10 players who hadn't gained any experience.

Seeing that the players had already formed teams, the Phase Man gave further instructions.

"Let's take those six points first, then go farm the Chaos Eggs. If either side completes the mission or gets wiped out, remember to let us know in the world chat."

"We can make some adjustments then, letting those who have completed their tasks help out!"

Afterwards, the players who had formed teams dispersed and headed to their respective targets.

The Frost Adventurers, who had been blocked at the entrance by the players, finally emerged from the dungeon.

Watching the players depart, Sasha muttered to herself.

"These people are really strange. They can clearly have normal logic and make plans, so why are they like this? They seem like people from two different worlds, like... like... sigh~ I can't really explain it."

"Alright, let's go rescue people first. We don't have enough manpower, so let's try to save the townspeople who are in danger first!" Veronica reminded.

Then Veronica and the Ice Adventurers scattered to begin rescuing the townspeople.

"While fighting monsters way above our level might show how awesome we are, constantly doing that is just too tiring!"

"All Insurance Half-Hanging" complained after teaming up with other players to defeat a Chaos Egg blocking their path.

"Aren't there lots of monsters in the dungeon? Why don't you go farm them?" the muscular man retorted.

"How can that be the same? It's just bones with no meat on them, and killing it doesn't even give much experience. Who would want to gnaw on it?"

"Isn't that enough?" The muscular man rolled his eyes at the half-hanging figure.

"This should be it," Quanxian Bangua said, opening the map to change the subject.

"This is it, but we seem to be the fastest. I see the other teams haven't reached the designated location yet," said the Phase Man in the world chat.

After casually closing the world channel, the Phase Man reached out to the half-hanging figure and said:

"Quest Items"

"Oh." Quanxian Bangua handed the phase man a strange stone slab and some other odd materials.

The man with the phase followed the tutorial that came with the mission, crushed the materials, and then dipped them in the materials to write and draw on the stone slab.

"This game always does these things, can't it just have a loading bar?" Phase Man complained as he drew.

"And we can't draw it in advance; we can only start preparing when we get to the mission location," Quanxianbangua chimed in.

Fortunately, the pattern was not complicated, and with a wave that no one could perceive spreading out, the Phase Man quickly finished drawing it.

"Uh, why do I feel a little dizzy looking at this thing?" the muscular man said, holding up the drawn stone slab.

The lines on the stone slab began to rotate on their own, like a clock that never stops.

Then a user-friendly progress bar appeared on the stone slab.

"I'm a little confused too, but why is there a progress bar? Do I have to wait for it to load...?"

Before the full insurance and partial trailer could finish, a player suddenly shouted:

"Oh no! Look at the map! The Chaos Eggs nearby are gathering!"

"I knew they wouldn't let us complete the mission smoothly!"

The man with the phase sculpt placed the stone slab, drew his dragon-slaying greatsword, and opened the map.

A dozen or so Chaos Eggs that had been wandering around nearby were now approaching this place.

However, the Chaos Eggs weren't very fast; they walked more than ran, perhaps simply wanting to see what was happening.

But in no time, the players entered the Chaos Egg's aggro range, and their wandering turned into running.

Soon, the Chaos Eggs began to appear one after another on the street corner.

"Here we go! Veteran players, hold the front! Newbies in the back, remember to heal them, and keep an eye on your own and your teammates' mana!"

"Full insurance, half-load! Tell everyone on the world channel! The activation ceremony will attract nearby Chaos Eggs!"

The Phase Warrior, who had just finished giving his instructions, was already close enough to reach the Chaos Egg.

"Let me show you my signature moves from other games! Perfect timing, now that I've leveled up, my strength is sufficient!"

The Phase Man raised his Dragon Slayer Greatsword high as he charged toward the oncoming Chaos Egg, but then slammed it hard into the ground.

"Are you drunk?!" Quanxian Bangua retorted.

Phase Man's movements weren't over yet. Using the power of his legs and the momentum from the greatsword slamming into the ground, he threw his body forward.

The weight of his body propelled the greatsword, and then the Phase Man in mid-air swung the greatsword forcefully, drawing an arc in the air.

"Lion Slash!"

The superposition of double gravitational acceleration, coupled with perfect timing, allowed the Phase Maniac to deal damage many times over, and the greatsword was deeply embedded in the body of the Chaos Egg.

Although it failed to split the Chaos Egg in two, the Chaos Egg that was hit twitched twice and then died.

"Isn't that awesome! You took it down in a second!" the muscular man boasted to the half-hanging man.

Instead of commenting on the Phase Man's moves, Quanxianbangua pointed ahead and shouted:

"Look ahead!"

The next Chaos Egg had already rushed in front of the Phase Man.

Meanwhile, the Phase Man had not only run outside the player's group, but his greatsword was still embedded in the Chaos Egg, so he was helpless against the rapidly approaching Chaos Egg.

As expected, the next second, the Phase Man flew into the players' team.

The muscular man, sprawled on the ground, reached out his hand to the half-hanging man:

"Heal me!"

"When you're showing off, you're arrogant and haughty; when you need someone to help you, your life is hanging by a thread."

Despite saying that, Quanxianbangua still dutifully healed the Phase Man, and other players also contributed their healing skills.

Just like that, the seemingly dying phase man suddenly became energetic again.

After receiving the Dragon Slayer Greatsword from another player, Phase Man rejoined the battle, but this time he didn't use Lion Slash.

While a dozen or so Chaos Eggs around level 35 were certainly a threat, none of them were Chaos Eggs mutated from elite soldiers or knights, so they couldn't really shake the players' defenses.

After resolving the Chaos Egg, the progress bar on the stone slab reached its end.

"Next, we just need to bury this stone slab." The phase man picked up the stone slab again and started digging a hole with the other players.

With the intelligence support of the Phase Man Squad, the other player squads were able to operate more smoothly, clearing out the surrounding Chaos Eggs before launching the ritual.

Apart from Train King's squad.
