Ethan didn't stop for even a second.
If the method worked, there was no reason to waste time.
He immediately had people clear space, then pulled out more Creature Dwellings one after another, feeding in everything he could use—resources, troops, leftover energy—without holding back.
Very quickly, the summoning ramped up at a nearly insane pace.
One ant after another was sent in, and then whole batches of new ants were summoned back out.
Even the little residual energy left in the Dark Abyss started getting burned down fast, like the last groundwater being pumped from a dried-up riverbed—bit by bit, it hit bottom.
But Ethan only got more excited.
He honestly hadn't expected he could use this to directly double an entire ant legion.
By the time the last set of Creature Dwellings finally stopped running, the Dark Abyss's remaining scraps of energy had been squeezed almost completely dry.
