Young Master Shenqian was feeling perplexed by Chun’s unexpected limelight when the butler of the First Man called, leaving the Young Master both excited and shocked.

The excitement stemmed from the fact that orders were given by the First Man himself, with global experts secretly gathering within two days. Once the Southern Canyon Village is seized, the only force capable of taking over would be himself, not only would he regain what was lost, but he might also discover previously unknown Alternate Spaces!

The shock came from realizing, is monster control during a siege predictable? Perhaps, yes, after all, he had 3000 members mining in Hell, making him the key to controlling the monster siege.

The Young Master immediately ordered the Hell Corps: “Stop bribing the Little Demon, cease using Mineral Crystals to produce mushrooms, and focus all efforts on mining for battle preparations!”

Then ordered the Warrior Corps in Iron Flame Village: “Grind levels at full speed in two days, aiming for level 40, hire as many bait NPCs as needed to lure monsters…”

Then, following the butler’s instructions, he coordinated with Tata Battle Team for the distribution of interests.

…

Hidden Secret Realm in the sewers of Black Iron City.

This was unlike the usual brick structure of a sewer but rather an array of underground caves and crevices. Abandoned tools from the city’s founding were scattered everywhere.

Following Alpha’s guiding instructions, the Tata War God and its hound pet army fought through the underground waters, killing Evil Souls, and arrived at a vast cavern. Here, they were surprised to find heaps of discarded furniture, carriages, glass lamps, books, porcelain, like a recycling center.

The Tata War God was incredulous! The previous discovery of abandoned tools was understandable, but a mountain of furniture here was incomprehensible!

Yet there’s no need for understanding, this was the outcome of Alpha, an insider, secretly moving code. Unable to move crucial items accurately, they moved an entire pile associated with furniture instead.

But a pile of waste doesn’t equal garbage, some porcelain here might be centuries-old antiques that could be sold for money!

The Tata War God started rummaging through the furniture mountain and found an old mirrored dresser, with barely half of the mirror left.

Cautiously, Tata moved the dresser to flat ground. Opening the drawers, they found several bottles of different colors, which they then arranged before the mirror.

The next moment, the mirror gleamed and emitted a black light. A black mist slowly squeezed out of the mirror, then condensed into a humanoid figure in a black cloak, whose nature as a player or NPC was indiscernible!

“I am here!”

The Tata War God was taken aback, thinking that for Alpha to appear, he would have to lift a sewer lid, but instead, he emerged from the mirror!

“Mr. Alpha, aren’t you human?”

Alpha proudly announced, “I am a Shadow Demon! A hidden demon race.”

The Tata War God was utterly shocked: “Then what about Mr. Beta?”

“He needs to be on the other side of the mirror to guide me as needed.”

The Tata War God asked, “Where is the other side of the mirror?”

Alpha explained, “The ruler of this city’s underground, known as the Black Hand Organization. According to the game’s narrative, the Five Great Cities were established with the aid of demons. These cities owe their roots to the Golden Empire’s Pioneer Corps, with the Golden Empire worried about these cities becoming independent, thus strengthening control through the Church.”

The Tata War God was taken aback, “The animal protection group I’m associated with is precisely the Church!”

Alpha gave a faint smile, “The organization I belong to is the Black Hand!”

The Tata War God was confused, “Are we supposed to be from opposing factions?”

Alpha responded, “Don’t Angels often fall to Hell to take up roles? You must understand, if there were no demons, people wouldn’t need to worship gods! This is the best setup! But, the Black Hand Organization is merely an ordinary organization in the hell world; this game’s depth surpasses your imagination, hence my willingness to hide and accomplish something grand here.”

The Tata War God asked in alarm, “What if the Ten Lords strike against you… strike against us?”

Alpha replied cockily, “The Ten Lords are just a group of arrogant nobles who have lost their development capabilities, only pointing fingers from high places. We, the most intelligent and outstanding, have mastered this ability. We are the true Creator Gods of this world, invincible here! Additionally, isn’t the most ostentatious guy that Chun?”

The Tata War God understood, “Yes! The team just received instructions from the Ten Lords to obliterate Chun’s location, the Southern Canyon Village. What do you think of this Chun?”

Alpha sneered, “When the Ten Lords greedily crafted exclusive gift packs for themselves and their allies, the intelligent system automatically generated intervention NPCs to snatch the packs. Evidently, the disappearance of the Shenqian team’s gift pack is connected to Chun, even if Chun can’t directly obtain the pack and only acts as an accomplice, gaining other resources through NPC intervention, making him a troublesome opponent. Fortunately, the Ten Lords and the Shenqian team have realized this, so let Chun cover our development.”

The Tata War God was even more puzzled, “Is the disappearance of the Demonized Bat related to Chun?”

Alpha dismissed it, “In the hell world, Demonized Bats aren’t even considered pawns. Do you, being the world’s 12th-ranked, need to be fixated on a pawn-level task? The real threat is the idiots of the Divine Presence Corps, who massively feed a gatekeeper Crystal Bat at the dungeon’s bottom, causing it to mutate and kill a Shadow Demon in the Black Hand Organization, making it unable to resurrect—thus, the disappearance of your Three Sheep Gods also could be attributed to this Crystal Bat.”

The Tata War God was stunned, “The Shenqian team never mentioned this Crystal Bat matter!”

Alpha scoffed, “Of course, they wouldn’t mention it. Sometimes watching their self-proclaimed secrets is quite amusing. This Crystal Bat was designed per the Ten Lords’ request, possessing both high magic and physical resistance, with invisibility and reflection abilities. The obvious collision was a visual distortion deceit, a capability of the Crystal Bat related to light distortion and reflection.”

The Tata War God realized, “How can we deal with this bat?”

Alpha declared, “Only I, a Shadow Demon, can counter it.”

The Tata War God exclaimed, “But you said an organizational Shadow Demon was defeated by it?”

Alpha solemnly replied, “That’s why I need to be stronger! What I require is the Shadow Demon imprisoned and consumed by it to enhance myself; you too can gain a Super Hell Combat Pet.”

The Tata War God was elated, “What’s our next step?”

Alpha gestured towards a bookshelf in the waste pile, retrieving two books: “These are Woodworking Technique and Shipbuilding Technique manuals. Use the furniture here to build a small boat, or even just a basic raft for learning to navigate the underground river to the Divine Tomb.”

The Tata War God was awestruck by this long-distance retrieval: “What level of power does Mr. Alpha hold?”

Alpha stated, “As you see, I actually do not possess a physical form, so the raft-building is up to you.”

The Tata War God complied sincerely, “Understood!”
