Evil God? My servants are players!

"Let's give it a try, but I don't know how many people we can get."

After hearing the explanation from the Phase Man, even the fully-insured half-carriage was tempted.

"We probably won't be able to attract many people. After all, it takes at least a day to make this trip. If we're not careful and get sent back to the altar, then we're doomed."

"But let's give it a try first. I estimate that we should be able to get it working once we have 10 people."

Then, the man in the phase opened the world channel and started calling for reinforcements.

Phase Man: A large number of level 30 humanoid monsters have been discovered in the experience dungeon! Join a team now! Due to the long distance, it may take a whole day to travel! Serious inquiries only! (Team Link)

This message was like throwing a large stone into a calm lake, creating ripples.

The entire world channel was in an uproar.

Jamie Win: Holy crap! Phase One is amazing!

Traveling Frog: How do you two always manage to find good stuff?!

Train King: Hey bro! Take me with you!

Hurry up and go to sleep: Hey bro! Take me with you! +1

Looking at the team list that was completely full, the Phase Man was at a loss for words.

The fully-insured, half-carried patted the phase-shifting hunk and asked:

"How's it going? How many people did you get? The world chat channel looks pretty lively."

The phase-shifting hunk stared blankly at the team list and said:

"I don't know, the 50-person team system is already full."

After realizing what had happened, the Phase Man quickly sent a new message on the world channel.

Phase Man: Everyone, please stop clicking the team button, the group is already full.

Phase Man: But those who want to go can meet at the entrance on the sixth floor, and we'll set off at noon.

Phase Man: Don't worry about not having enough monsters. I estimate there are no fewer than 500 level 30 monsters, so everyone will get some!

Phase Man: So, if you're interested, come on over!

Phase Man: By the way, newbies who have just entered the game should think carefully, after all, the journey is long and the difficulty is very high.

Phase Man: It would be a huge loss if I accidentally died!

Bear with a well-thought-out plan: I'm not afraid! As long as I can gain some experience points, that's fine!

MuMu's Shark: Boss! I'm a sissy! Take me with you!

Mysterious Gunman 007: Shark Sauce, so cute!

"My goodness, I feel like I'm going to have to do it all? Will I have enough experience points to go around?"

Fully insured semi-trailers are quietly lurking in the shadows.

"Wouldn't it be better to have more people? Otherwise, it would be much more difficult to fight. Didn't you notice? There were even more monsters on the city wall."

The phase-shifting man's nonchalant reply.

Shen Yuan, on the other side, naturally noticed the players' movements.

In fact, Shen Yuan had originally intended to send the players to the surface to investigate the situation.

Back when the two men, Xiang Qimeng and Meng Nan, "heroically went to their deaths," Shen Yuan wanted to issue a mission to have them stay behind to investigate the situation.

But when he thought of the magical Earl Hamlet, Shen Yuan abandoned the idea.

What if that old bastard actually discovers Shen Yuan's secret through the captured players?

The actions of the man in charge of the phase coincided with Shen Yuan's thoughts.

Since we don't expect the players to actually uncover the Earl of Hamlet's secrets, let's send them to cause trouble and buy time.

Although Shen Yuan also knew that with the players' current strength, they were not yet capable of defeating Earl Hamlet.

But Shen Yuan had no choice but to send them out first.

Because there isn't much time left.

After discovering the energy continuously accumulating on the Earth's surface, Shen Yuan has been monitoring the movement of that energy.

Recently, the accumulation of energy has been gradually slowing down.

There are only a few possibilities that could lead to this result.

The first possibility is that he no longer has enough energy to absorb, which can basically be ruled out.

Shen Yuan had roughly calculated that the energy he absorbed from the townspeople would leave them emotionally depressed and physically weak, but not to the point of being fatal.

The second possibility is that the energy is almost saturated and it's becoming difficult to absorb anything more, which means the ritual is about to be completed.

That's the most likely explanation.

This is why Shen Yuan was in a hurry to send players up.

Although Shen Yuan was not afraid that the Earl's ceremony could threaten him, it would be bad if the Earl really did something big and attracted the attention of some behemoths.

After all, although the players could be considered to have some strength, in the eyes of the Empire, they were at most a group of troublesome bandits, and not even a local separatist force.

The players' spontaneous journey to the surface suited Shen Yuan's wishes perfectly, saving him the mission rewards.

Seeing a sensible player – Humanity value +0.002%

Soon, at the call of the Phase Man, the players gathered at the entrance to the sixth floor.

They have gathered about a hundred people and are now slowly making their way to the surface.

Looking at the players marching at a snail's pace, Shen Yuan realized that perhaps the map traversal problem really needed to be addressed.

After all, it would take players a whole day to travel from the base camp to the surface, even if they didn't stop.

Even Shen Yuan felt this was somewhat cruel.

This problem was not difficult for Shen Yuan either, since he was able to project his power after the third layer of the seal was unlocked.

This projection of power is not just a simple attack; Shen Yuan can also accomplish other things.

For example, you could spend points to set up a teleportation array.

Although Shen Yuan remembered that Luna seemed to have a teleportation skill, he knew it without asking.

The spells in this world shouldn't be able to teleport players.

Because anything related to Shen Yuan exhibits an anti-magical state when out of control.

But this anti-magic is strange; it only opposes the generation of magic, not magic itself.

In layman's terms, it greatly reduces the success rate of casting spells, including spell items.

However, it has no effect on spells that have already been cast.

Therefore, if you use magic to teleport players, the teleportation array will most likely fail to function.

Shen Yuan had no choice but to settle for second best and use his existence points.

This kind of precise power projection is different from long-range attacks. Shen Yuan not only needs coordinates, but also a ritual to further weaken the seal's influence.

Although Shen Yuan has unlocked the relevant rituals, the offerings are not easy to find.

However, there is one person who can not only directly replace the ritual, but also reduce Shen Yuan's projection consumption by 10%.

Who is this incredibly powerful person? Of course, it's the 'Great Saint' Hyacinth.

Then, Shen Yuan turned his gaze to the hyacinth.

After getting the cell phone, the two mice stopped going to class and spent all their time chatting on the phone, even though there was only a wall separating them.

Luna, too, spends all her time on the phone with the priestess.

However, Shen Yuan did not intend to send Hyacinth now.

After all, the surface is pretty chaotic right now. Let's wait until most of these players are dead before making any moves.

We'll have Hyacinth act together with the players to prevent anything from happening to her.

As for the mouse's addiction to its phone, Shen Yuan felt that once the novelty wore off, the mouse would return to its daily life.

After all, there was nothing installed on the phone except for a call function.
