Shen Hao would naturally accept such a challenge.
Although the game developer said he wouldn't lose anything by not accepting it, he felt that might not be the case.
The purpose of all players entering the Instance to complete the mission is to destroy the Divine Authority of the Lord of the Netherworld and welcome the arrival of New God.
If he doesn't participate in the Instance, those players will achieve this goal very quickly.
His purpose in appearing was to stop those players.
If he doesn't participate in such an important Instance, who can stop the arrival of the New God?
Whether he would still be alive at that time was also a question.
He didn't believe he was capable of fighting a true god.
Therefore, he must participate in this Special Instance.
Shen Hao chose to accept.
"You have chosen to accept their challenge. Show your fear, and those scoundrels will tremble before your terror."
The Instance opening time is currently undetermined. Once the Anomalous Instance opens, you will be teleported into Instance regardless of your location. Please prepare accordingly.
In that case, he doesn't need to specifically set aside time for this Instance.
Even if he was participating in other Instances at the time, he would still appear in the Special Instance Instance when it opened.
Special Instance have a higher priority than all other Instance.
He can still freely match with Instance during this period.
After making his choice, Shen Hao left home. Although he wasn't tired, he was a little hungry and needed to go out to get something to eat.
In fact, he no longer needs food much, because half of his body has been replaced by Demon organs, and Demons feed on human fear.
But his other half is still human, and as a human being, he still needs the nutrition provided by food.
However, eating is just a habit for him; even if he didn't eat, he wouldn't starve.
However, suddenly giving up a habit of more than ten years still feels strange.
Once on the street, Shen Hao noticed that everyone he encountered looked listless, with intense unease in their eyes.
He used his Eye of Cause and Effect to investigate the cause of these problems and quickly found the answer.
It turns out it's related to him.
The strange events of the past few days have filled the entire city with fear and unease; the power of the Demon has affected their minds and bodies.
It is difficult for ordinary people to recover from this impact in a short period of time.
However, over time, this effect will gradually disappear, and there will be no lasting effects on the body.
However, the mental aspect is a different story.
Shen Hao ate a bowl of noodles, then left the restaurant and went into a supermarket as he passed by.
He planned to buy some daily necessities.
As Shen Hao entered the supermarket, he began selecting the items he needed. At that moment, a commotion erupted inside, with gasps and exclamations from the crowd.
It was Sunday, and there were still many people. Shen Hao didn't go over, but stood aside and watched the panicked crowd run out.
He now enjoys watching excitement, especially the kind of excitement that instills fear in people; he likes it even more.
Because he can also gain some Fear Points from the crowd.
There's nothing more interesting than this.
However, he didn't like to get involved, so he just stood aside and watched quietly.
Seeing the panicked crowd running out of the supermarket, Shen Hao made way for them; otherwise, if they had bumped into him, they probably would have been killed instantly.
He didn't want to get into this trouble, especially since he was going to get splattered with blood.
Chaos spread like ripples on water, and almost the entire supermarket was thrown into disarray.
Shelves were knocked over, people trampled each other, and the cries of women and children filled the air.
The center of the commotion was constantly moving closer to him, and Shen Hao saw the source of the chaos.
It was a monster two meters tall, with a body that was close to that of a human, but its face was ferocious and twisted, and its body was red.
The monster had no physical body, but was a ghost-like spirit that could move nimbly through the shelves, grabbing any human it encountered and draining their soul.
The crowd ran frantically in all directions, crying and screaming, because it was a supernatural being that they could not possibly fight against.
Shen Hao, however, was constantly accumulating Fear Points.
Although each individual can contribute very little Fear Points, there are many people here, so the total amount adds up to a considerable amount.
The monster was grabbing a woman's body and sucking her soul away, and the people around took the opportunity to run away.
The woman gradually stopped struggling, and soon only Shen Hao and the monster remained.
The monster looked at Shen Hao with a ferocious expression, then passed through a shelf and stood in front of Shen Hao.
It prepares to absorb the soul of the person before it.
Shen Hao didn't move, but simply gave it a look, letting it understand on its own.
He believed the monster should be able to understand.
If that doesn't work, then it's just bad luck; he wouldn't mind taking care of this clueless guy.
The monster suddenly stopped, because it sensed that the aura emanating from the person before it was different from that of the humans; this person was even more evil and cruel than it.
It understood that look in its eyes, and without daring to linger, its body transformed into a cloud of blood mist, chasing after the fleeing crowd.
Shen Hao continued selecting the items he needed from the shelves. This time, he didn't need to pay; he could buy things for free.
After leaving the supermarket, Shen Hao realized that the outside world seemed to have changed.
The sky was covered by thick clouds, making it very dark, as if it had suddenly become night.
He immediately activated his Mental Perception to assess the situation.
It turned out that the monster he had just seen was just a small fry; there were many more like that, scattered throughout every corner of the city.
In addition, he saw countless indescribable monsters and ferocious demons.
They wreak havoc on the earth, reveling in a feast of slaughter.
People were desperate and helpless, and could only run and cry out.
It was as if someone had opened a passage to hell, leading countless evil spirits to the human world.
The sky was so dark that even the sun could not shine much.
It felt like the end of the world had arrived.
Hearing the melodious screams around him, Shen Hao continued to expand the range of his Mental Perception.
He even extended the scope of his Mental Perception to several neighboring cities.
The same was true there; chaos, bloodshed, and cruelty unfolded in every city.
Shen Hao did nothing but absorb the Fear Points.
The source of those people's fear is not him, so he will receive far less Fear Points.
Even so, he gained several thousand Fear Points just by taking a casual stroll around the streets.
There were too many people.
This place became his Paradise.
What exactly happened?
Although Shen Hao really liked this hellish scene, he also wanted to know the reason behind it all.
Where did those monsters come from?
Are they monsters from the Netherworld?
The Lord of the Netherworld is dead, and His Divine Authority is being continuously weakened.
Now, no rules can suppress these monsters anymore, so they have come to wreak havoc on the human world.
People have long feared that supernatural beings from the Netherworld would invade the human world, and now that fear has become a reality.
Although this was the only answer he could think of, Shen Hao felt that something was not quite right.
However, this matter has little to do with him. With so many ghosts and monsters, it's impossible for him to save these humans even if he wanted to, since he doesn't have the ability to be in two places at once.
So he decided to just keep watching the show.
