The strange phenomenon appeared in every corner of the world, then suddenly disappeared, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
Although no one died and nothing was destroyed, the incident caused great panic.
Some believe that people all over the world are hallucinating, that everything is fake, and that nothing has happened.
Some believe that it is something that will happen in the future, and if it cannot be stopped, it will become a reality.
Some believe this must have been the work of the evil Lord of the Netherworld, but was stopped by an even more powerful being; otherwise, it would be the end of the world by now.
Some people believe this is a sign of the end of the world, and that everything will be destroyed soon.
Regardless of one's perspective, people generally believe that all of this is related to that Horror Game that appeared thirty years ago.
And most people remain pessimistic; they have lost all hope.
However, the Alliance Guild quickly announced the cause of today's anomaly, putting an end to people's wild speculations.
The power of the evil Lord of the Netherworld has been revived. The monsters that appeared today are all his minions. He will descend upon the Lord of the Netherworld realm and rule it with his evil.
But people need not worry, because soon a deity from another world will descend upon the human world, and it was He who saved humanity today.
He will destroy the evil Lord of the Netherworld and protect humanity, so that mankind will no longer have to worry about monsters from the Netherworld.
The arrival of that deity will bring something new to this world.
Human civilization will undergo a fundamental change, and everyone who believes in God can become an extraordinary being.
At that time, all humans needed to do was believe in this deity, and Devotion faith would grant them everything they desired.
But now, all game players need to put in an extra effort and prepare for the arrival of the gods.
Shen Hao had no idea what the so-called preparations for welcoming the descent of the gods were, and even with his Eye of Cause and Effect, he couldn't see it clearly.
But he understood that for that deity to descend into this world, certain conditions had to be met, and this game was created to fulfill those conditions.
Now, that deity's power is enough to influence this world; if those people work a little harder, He will be able to come to earth.
This news filled people with immense excitement, and the dark clouds overhead seemed to vanish.
Since the advent of Horror Games, monsters from the Netherworld have been constantly harassing the human world.
Some powerful monsters even claim to be gods, develop followers among humans, and constantly commit evil deeds, attempting to descend upon the human world.
Moreover, there is an incomparably powerful and evil Lord of the Netherworld lurking in the shadows.
The world seems to be in constant danger of destruction.
For the past thirty years, people have lived in constant fear.
Now, it seems that everything is finally coming to an end.
Moreover, as long as they believe in that deity, they can even gain extraordinary powers.
Although no one has ever seen that deity, and no one knows His name, at this moment, people are filled with anticipation for that deity.
Today's events alone have filled them with the most sincere and pure faith in that deity, a faith that has been deeply rooted in their hearts.
But Shen Hao felt that all of this was just a performance orchestrated by that deity.
The Lord of the Netherworld is dead and there is no possibility of resurrection. Moreover, His Divine Authority is constantly being weakened and He will soon disappear completely.
Almost all of the former subordinates of the Lord of the Netherworld are now dead.
At least in the Instances he experienced, the Lord of the Netherworld's subordinates all became mindless walking corpses.
Even Yan Jun, who controls the Land of Reincarnation, is like that, not to mention the others.
The Lord of the Netherworld has no power to do such a thing now; he can only take the blame and be slandered.
Shen Hao didn't know who was better or worse, the Lord of the Netherworld or that otherworldly deity, and he didn't care.
All he knew was that if that deity truly descended upon this world, he would be in trouble.
It is obvious that his power and even his very existence are related to the Lord of the Netherworld. He is considered to be on the Lord of the Netherworld's side; this is a label he was given at birth and cannot be changed.
No matter what he does, that deity will certainly not allow his existence.
He must defy the entire world to prevent the arrival of that deity.
This is his mission, and even if he is Demon, he cannot change this mission.
But once all of this is over, he will be free from all ties.
Today's events brought that otherworldly deity a great deal of faith, but he didn't come away empty-handed; he also gained a great deal of Fear Points.
His current Fear Points is 380,000 points; he gained a full 70,000 Fear Points just from walking around outside today.
This unexpected gain still excited him.
But he felt it wasn't enough; he was still far inferior to that otherworldly deity.
That deity's power could influence the entire world, but his Demon Domain was completely incapable of doing so.
Even if he disregards the consumption of Fear Points, the Demon Domain can only cover the size of a few cities at most, far from being able to influence the entire world.
Now he can only pray that he can collect more Demon organs as soon as possible.
However, the chances are slim, because that being is capable of killing the Lord of the Netherworld of the Lord of the Netherworld, who is a deity of this world, a god who controls an entire world.
The power of Demons may not surpass that of the Lord of the Netherworld.
Therefore, even if he obtained all the Demon organs and reached the peak power of Demon, he still wouldn't be able to defeat that god.
If that deity were to descend, he might truly die.
Now, all he can do is try to cause as much disruption as possible to delay the arrival of that deity.
However, he cannot act too openly or do anything too outrageous in the real world.
Since that deity has already gained the ability to influence this world, this will only hasten his demise.
But he was certain that the deity's influence over the Netherworld was still limited.
After all, that was the stronghold of the Lord of the Netherworld. Although the Lord of the Netherworld was dead, His Divine Authority had not been completely destroyed, and His rules were still in effect.
He can only fight that god through Instance.
Now he's even more eager for the new Instance to arrive, ideally experiencing a new Instance every day.
But reality was far from his expectations.
Half a month passed, and Shen Hao still hadn't been matched with a new Instance.
The situation is different now; it's difficult for him to find a match for Instance.
He's already level 40. Although this game has been around for a long time, there aren't many players who can reach this level.
Furthermore, they participate in Instance less frequently than other players, and the recent emergence of Anomalous Instance has had a significant impact.
One Divine System Ability User has already died, which means it's virtually impossible for ordinary players to complete the Anomalous Instance.
Based on the pattern of Anomalous Instance appearances, the next one will most likely be another SSS-level Instance.
Players who get matched with Instance like this are now very hesitant to actively seek out Instance.
Shen Hao began to regret his actions.
It seems he went too far.
If they had shown a little more leniency and occasionally let one or two people leave the Instance, giving players hope of clearing it, this situation wouldn't be happening now.
Those high-level players are all waiting for the Special Instance to appear. If things continue like this, his next Instance will most likely be that Special Instance prepared specifically for him.
Sure enough, Shen Hao's prediction came true. A week later, he was matched with a new Instance was the so-called Special Instance!
