The heated online discussions among players also caught the attention of the Alliance Guilds.
The guild has officially issued an announcement explaining the recent anomalies observed in Instance.
This made Shen Hao very happy, as it meant that his influence had grown even greater.
Now it's not just players discussing this; even official guilds have gotten involved.
The official announcement confirmed what the player said; similar incidents had indeed occurred before, but they had all been resolved by the players.
The solution is to clear the Instance that malfunctioned and defeat the boss within it.
Once this task is completed, such a thing will not happen again for many years to come.
The Alliance Guild also announced the existence of Divine System Ability Users, Divine System Ability User are almost omniscient and omnipotent, with abilities far surpassing those of other Ability Users.
They have the potential to transcend the human level of existence and become truly extraordinary beings.
They could even access the realm of God.
Those with Divine System Ability User are extremely special; they are almost free from this game and can participate in Instances without being forced to.
Moreover, even if they participate in Instance, given their strength, most Instance would not pose a threat to them.
Therefore, they can be considered transcendent beings who are above all other players.
This is a huge inspiration for players; who wouldn't want to become Divine System Ability User like that?
Becoming Divine System Ability User is merely clearing one Instance.
Now, people are no longer afraid of encountering such Instance; instead, they hope that such Instance will happen to them.
However, only a handful of Instance have shown this result so far, which is as rare as winning the lottery.
The official announcement also included other information to help players identify abnormal Instances and how to deal with them.
For example, if a special bonus appears in Instance, it's definitely because you've encountered this unusual Instance.
At this point, if you are confident, you can choose to continue the mission or commit suicide to end it.
If a boss in Instance that was originally mindless suddenly gains intelligence, then the Instance is definitely abnormal.
The Alliance Guild explained that this was due to the resurgence of the Lord of the Netherworld's power, which had also restored the intelligence of His minions.
When dealing with such Instance, you absolutely cannot follow the Instance guide exactly, because the BOSS can completely see through the player's intentions.
However, the strategies in the Instance guide that don't involve the boss may still be effective.
In short, this is a time when players need to outwit and outmaneuver the BOSS.
Additionally, if multiple teams participate in the same Instance, it could also be Anomalous Instance.
However, this is not absolute, so players should never choose to commit suicide just because they see multiple teams appearing in the Instance at the same time.
Because if it's not Anomalous Instance, there's no way to revive.
The Alliance Guild specifically reminded players that even with the special bonuses from the Instance, they should not underestimate the BOSS, as such Anomalous Instance are very difficult to clear.
In addition, a new mechanism has been introduced in the game to incentivize players to clear Instance.
In such Instance, even if the player fails to kill the BOSS, as long as they are not killed by the BOSS or commit suicide, and leave the Instance by other means, the Instance's special bonuses will last indefinitely.
Furthermore, there is a high probability that you will be matched with such Instance again in the next Instance match.
Players will receive an additional bonus on top of this.
This effect can be stacked indefinitely.
In other words, as long as you can survive a few more of these Instance, your strength will accumulate and you can completely crush the bosses of Anomalous Instance.
This mechanism has excited players, providing them with a clear strategy for clearing such Instance.
The strategy is to play defensively in the early game, then completely dominate in the late game.
From this perspective, Anomalous Instances are the real benefit.
Simply surviving the Instance grants a permanent buff. While the boss is terrifying, the fact that you won't die makes it acceptable.
Right now, almost every player is fired up and can't wait to enter the Instance and tear the Anomalous Instance's BOSS to shreds.
Players' enthusiasm is at an all-time high.
They felt that this wasn't Anomalous Instance, but rather Welfare Instance.
Shen Hao felt that his previous guess was correct; all of this was aimed at him.
They were determined to kill him.
If players can truly and continuously gain Instance, that would be absolutely terrifying.
After a few times, he will likely lose the right to fight those players.
After all, even if you only consider a 100% attribute bonus, it will amount to a terrifying number after a few uses.
With exponential growth, it's not impossible for him to shatter a world with a single punch after a dozen or so attempts.
Moreover, players will gain special abilities tailored to him each time.
If those players were allowed to return, he might not die immediately, but he would definitely become a free-for-all boss for players to exploit bugs and farm stats.
Such Demon is clearly not scary at all; in fact, it's quite cute.
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
He could only continue with his style, not letting a single prey escape.
In any case, none of these people can be left alive.
Maintaining such a record shouldn't be too difficult, since he has been doing it perfectly so far.
The Alliance Guild also released some information about the Netherworld, calling on players to actively participate in the quests.
Because the Netherworld is also beginning to show abnormalities, extraordinary beings from the Netherworld are constantly entering the human world.
"Now the power of the Lord of the Netherworld is beginning to recover, and His minions are also gradually regaining their strength."
The Netherworld is connected to our world, but it is no longer suitable for survival. Once they regain their power, they will come to our world.
At that time, our place will become like the Netherworld, a place of utter devastation and suffering.
Therefore, everything we do is actually protecting our world.
However, most players are not very interested in this.
Saving the world is too far-fetched; what's the point of a vague and ethereal Lord of the Netherworld compared to a readily available, Welfare Instance?
People still prefer to clear Anomalous Instance and become transcendent beings like Divine System Ability Users.
At the very least, you should grind for stats to ensure your survival in Instance; that's the most practical issue.
The official announcement was followed by a flood of comments from players.
"Please bless me so I can enter the Anomalous Instance next time."
"Don't try to take it from me, I'm definitely going to be one of the next batch to enter the Anomalous Instance!"
"I'm already playing Instance; I've never been this busy before."
"I'll sacrifice 20 years of all players' lifespans in exchange for my qualification to enter the Anomalous Instance!"
Seeing the players' great anticipation for the Anomalous Instance, Shen Hao felt gratified.
These players are finally not being lazy anymore; now the Instance are much more interesting.
That evening, Shen Hao received a notification from the game system that he had successfully been matched into a new Instance.
It seems the players' enthusiasm has really been aroused; they can't wait.
