CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 235: SENT OVER? (TWO IN ONE) _3

Main Quest One: "Slay the Demonic Queen and her older brother, aid the Emperor in regaining control over the court."

Main Quest Two: "Overthrow the rule of the empire, and establish a brand new rule."

"So, there are two main quests. It seems if we choose the second one, we’d definitely have to deal with the Grand Marshal. The first one should be the way you mentioned to avoid battling the Grand Marshal, right?" Alina commented, glancing at the main quests.

"I’d like to see just how powerful this Grand Marshal really is. Maybe defeating her could earn us even higher rewards," Chen Mo said.

"I love a man with ambition," Alina said, her eyes glittering with adoration.

Knowing Alina was joking, Chen Mo laughed. "Since we’re already here, we naturally want the best rewards."

As they were talking, The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded three consecutive times, shocking them both.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Warning! Warning! This instance has been intruded! The intruders come from the Yongming Star System!

Until all intruders are cleared or the instance quest is completed, no one will be able to leave this instance!

The number of intruders this time is 100!

As you are the party being intruded upon, you will unconditionally obtain the complete information of all intruders!

As you are the party being intruded upon and the number of intruders exceeds your party’s by 98, you have gained a 98-fold increase in damage dealt to intruders.

As this instance has now become an intrusion instance, both parties can select an instance intrusion rule! If you do not wish to choose, you may forgo the selection.]

"Intrusion? And 100 at once! What’s going on?" Alina looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

She was aware of instance intrusions, but she had never experienced one hundred people intruding simultaneously during a non-group instance.

This was because intrusions had specific rules.

If the number of intruders exceeded that of the current players in the instance, each additional intruder would grant the original players a one-fold damage increase.

Now that a hundred of them had barged in, it directly increased Chen Mo and Alina’s damage 98-fold!

This kind of increase was often fatal!

After all, regardless of an intruder’s original power, once they intruded, their level would be suppressed to be the same as the instance initiator’s.

Everyone would be at the same level. One side could deal 98 times more damage, while the other side had their initial attributes. How could they even fight? Wouldn’t the side with the 98-fold damage increase instantly obliterate them?

She’d seen people throw their lives away before, but never quite like this. That’s why Alina found it utterly baffling rather than frightening when she heard about the hundred intruders. For a moment, she even wondered, Have the people from the Yongming Star System gone mad?

Chen Mo felt much the same; he couldn’t figure out what the people from the Yongming Star System were thinking.

Logically, if the Yongming Star System dispatched a hundred people, it was clearly a targeted intrusion, and they would have come prepared.

If this is indeed a targeted intrusion, then there’s a 99% chance they’re targeting me, not Alina. But if that’s the case, shouldn’t they have a high estimation of my actual power? Given the Yongming Star System’s intelligence-gathering capabilities, if they’ve already taken action, they must have some assessment of my power level. If I were in their shoes, I would plan based on the highest possible estimate of the opponent’s strength, given the available intelligence. They know I can defeat enemies of a higher tier. Yet they’re allowing my damage to be multiplied several dozen times? Anyone with half a brain would realize that with such a boost, even an army array of a hundred people couldn’t withstand it. Isn’t that just sending them to their deaths?

Feeling that something was off, Chen Mo immediately began to check the intruders’ details.
