Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Ibro then changed his talk to direct it towards the system as he said:

'Now, I need you to instigate all of them in one go.'

The system asked in confusion:

'Why do you bother taking such a hard route? It's easier to send them all than to attack those infected with demon seeds, especially since your soul's sea energy is low right now.'

Ibro sighed then explained:

'That wouldn't work, as A I have to raise my soul's sea energy level. I can't do it without depleting it totally. B I have to start amassing my army also I need to amass my citizens. 

No empire can be built without people. Huge armies are important, but people are far more important. Now, let's get into work, partner.'

'…'

The system didn't complain, as it started to activate its divine abilities one after the other. Ibro then started to gather his soul sea energy as he repeatedly used the spell:

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

At once, his white energy began to foam outside his body. He didn't stop using the spell until it covered him and Maya. Ibro, then, said to Maya:

"Get ready, I will start now."

Once he finished his words, the system started absorbing the demon energy from the seeds. That drove the players infected with it madly. 

They stopped in their places as the demons inside them started to take shape outside their bodies, then they marched towards Ibro in unison. Ibro didn't wait for them to come near him, as he started to use his other spells:

'Sa Romy Dai.'

'Alfa Ta Shtoy.'

'Sa Romy Dai.'

'Alfa Ta Shtoy.'

Each sword had a hand that held it. Ibro then started to move his body taking the stance of Sword Whirlpool Strike. Ibro then started to move in accordance with the specific move step of the strike. 

Finally, he directed his two huge swords towards all the incoming enemies. At this moment, he felt his huge internal energy begin to gather again. He didn't hesitate and poured it into his swords. 

The world shook as the newly formed mixed energy started to strike the incoming. All the demons high up in the air were caught without exception into this strike. 

This didn't take long as all the enemies lost their lives without exception. Those true demons weren't affected by this strike, as they were moved earlier into the pocket space of Maya. 

There, the coalition army between Ibro's forces and her forces were waiting for them. Ibro used this move as true demons follow the rules of the world. 

So, in a game based world, they give useless XP when killed. In the cultivation world, they would leave behind the valuable cores. Ibro wanted these cores badly.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, release them now."

Ibro didn't wait for all these players to realize what happened, as he got out many storage rings and released huge amounts of beta stones from it. At the same time, Ibro instructed the system:

'Use the confused divine ability of any player if they resisted the stones.'

This was phase two of this crusade. Although Ibro didn't have enough beta stones for the whole numbers of players in this world at the least, he had enough to sustain him for days. 

He had already given Rinobak a mission. He went to his village via teleportation portal and returned with all the beta stones that were produced so far. 

He also put many cores at the printer tray. These cores were all the cores Ibro gathered from killing the demons at Maya' world, plus the cores Maya gave to him before. 

At the same time, Rinobak was waiting inside the pocket space waiting for the collection of enough cores to go to the village again and resupply the printer. 

This printer played a crucial role in Ibro's future, as he depended on it to gain massive citizens in a short time. Ibro felt regret that his village didn't have a return scroll, but his cities had. 

Rinobak had many return scrolls in his possession already. So, the time wasted will be only for Rinobak to come from the village to his location. Ibro hoped he didn't run out from beta stones before he got resupplied again. 

All of this happened in no time actually. Since Ibro started to absorb the seeds energy, starting to attack the incoming demons with his strike, with Maya moving all of the true demons into her pocket space, and finally by Ibro releasing his beta stones which were guided by Maya special technique to reach each player mouth; all of this didn't cross 5 minutes mark.

"Listen to me very carefully; I'm now your new master. I don't tolerate betrayal, or neglecting my orders. I can kill anyone of you with a whim of my thoughts. 

I believe the game has already told you this fact already. You are here with your true bodies, so don't be reckless. Leave this region and wait for me in Gortan city. When I finish everything, I will come to see you."

Ibro said this short speech after waiting for the players to appear with real bodies. He couldn't see them personally, but the system told him about their stupefied reactions. 

This was logical, as this was their first time experiencing such a thing. Ibro now felt content, as these players' threat began to be neutralized. He hoped for those players to spread the word. 

Rumor Vs rumor, and fear Vs fear, that was his plan to face his enemy's scheme. Ibro didn't stand there for them to readjust to their new situation, as he flew at once with Maya towards his new target. 

Maya told him there were still new enemies far beyond 100 kilometers range. Ibro moved towards those groups of enemies. As before, each group had a mix of true demons and infected players. 

These battles were coming one after the other at an increasing pace. After the third time, Ibro lost his powers and became weak.

'Pour to me some demon energy from your storages.'

After Ibro recuperated for an hour, his soul sea began to develop energy again. It was a small amount of energy. If Ibro waited for his soul sea to be filled again, it would take ages. 

Ibro wanted to test a theory. When he used the demon energy, they became dangerous if they touched his dantian. 

If he emptied his soul sea then filled it again with demon energy after some recuperation, would it affect him or not? The system didn't argue, as it got used to the recklessness of Ibro already. 

Once his soul sea became full again, he restarted his crusade with Maya. This time, Ibro was keeping watch on his soul sea to detect any anomaly. 

To his surprise, the demon energy was used perfectly without any danger. Ibro kept using the energy, killing the huge armies, until his soul sea got depleted again. 

His soul sea after the last depletion got some upgrades. Before, Ibro could face 4 such armies at top, but now he faced 6 before his energy depleted. 

The last issue was for his newly generated energy at his soul sea, would it be pure or polluted? Ibro waited for the whole hour to get his answer… It was pure!

'That's incredible. Now, resupply me with demon energy again.'

Ibro was very excited by this discovery. He feared he needed to wait for a whole day to refill his soul sea. Ibro then moved with Maya towards the nearest group of demons. 

Ibro was still inside the territory of his small empire, but he was moving hardly a few tens of kilometers before taking a break. 

The more he went to the front, the more demons he met. The demons' numbers were increasing at a fast pace as he feared.

"We can't keep going forward. These numbers are enough to endanger my village."
