This instance's rating: SS

You were incredibly skilled; you killed Brother Long and Li Tian without even getting your hands dirty.

Who says there's no such thing as a perfect crime? This is the real perfect crime!

What a thrilling battle of wits!

That was brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

I admire your courage to kill the legendary King Tang. You must be very confident in your abilities!

You are the undisputed BOSS!

You must be looking forward to challenging an even higher peak.

You can choose one of the following four rewards as your prize.

1. Terror level +5, further enhancing the reduction effect on strange and magical artifacts.

2. As a boss, how can I function without subordinates?

You can summon elite-level fakes from the student council to fight for you. They can be resurrected after death. You can summon 20 people at a time, with a 5-minute cooldown. You can summon up to 200 elite-level fakes.

3. The Purple Gold Talent "Fake Human Academy Escaped BOSS" is upgraded by one level.

4. Tell my stats! Vitality and Constitution increased by 2 points!

Xu Feng was completely bewildered.

What does it mean that I have two sets of settlement panels?

Is this really necessary?

By the way, is it because he chose the escaped BOSS from the Purple Gold Talent Pseudo-Human Academy that two sets of settlement panels appeared?

Speaking of which, after my terror level was raised to 10, why did I get to summon more minions as a reward for my second option?

The number of people increased from ten to twenty, and the upper limit also increased from 100 to 200.

Xu Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought, unaware that as his terrifying level increased...

Will the strength of the pseudo-elite warriors I summon also increase?

However, his immediate priority was to increase the terror level. The backstab blade's ability to empty his health bar made him extremely vigilant.

After thinking it over, Xu Feng still chose reward one, raising his terror level to 15 points.

With the Bloodstained Throne and the Hammer in the opposite direction bonus, my constitution reaches 290 points in the first stage when I'm at low health.

The second stage is even more terrifying when the target is at low health, dealing a direct 370 damage.

Xu Feng's stats are not lacking for the time being.

What he lacked was the terror level; most strange and magical artifacts could be effective against him, which made Xu Feng's scalp tingle.

The dungeon has been successfully completed.

Xu Feng didn't know how difficult the next dungeon would be, but it certainly wouldn't be easy.

[Beep! Detected that the 2400-point peak national war boss has been temporarily away on business and will be replaced by the escaped boss from the Pseudo-Human Academy, Bloody Gentleman.]

[The current BOSS is entering the dungeon "Cataclysmic Apocalypse".]

[Your identity is the new Warden, the World Boss of the Order faction. Your mission is to lead your containment team to contain all the world's anomalous creatures using the most appropriate methods, preventing them from destroying the world.]

[Note that each catastrophic entity possesses the potential to destroy the world; never underestimate any catastrophic entity capable of such destruction.]

[Besides dozens of elite containment teams, you command approximately a thousand people, as well as a large number of top-tier chosen ones who are about to enter the national war instance.]

[The number of participants is two hundred.]

[Your opponent, the boss of the Doomsday Cult, the Child of Chaos, Raven, also commands an extremely large riot group. This riot group believes in the ultimate destruction of the world and has 200 top-tier Chosen Ones under its command.]

[Their goal is to destroy the world with monstrous creatures. Please ensure this world, on the verge of destruction, survives for one year, holding out until the day the gods descend. The world's will will then eliminate all monstrous creatures.]

[The objective of victory is to leave behind a pair of Adams and Eves before the day of God's descent.]

[As long as one male and one female pair survive, the will of the world will absolutely purify their genetic vulnerabilities, allowing them to present their most perfect form, thereby ensuring the continuation of human civilization.]

Xu Feng opened his eyes and found that he was now wearing a silver warden mask.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the high platform of the prison, his warden's robes fluttering in the wind.

Below stood several elite squads, along with prison guards, making the entire prison a staggering 10,000 people. Yet, in this silent prison standing in the middle of a desolate sea, there wasn't a single prisoner.

Below the high platform, nearly ten thousand containment team members and elite team members from various countries stood solemnly.

Although they stood in neat rows, their expressions were gloomy, and their brows were full of weariness and dejection.

They lacked the sharpness expected of an elite squad, and even their equipment showed signs of neglect and aging.

Xu Feng turned around slowly with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the audience. The background information of the dungeon world flooded into his mind at the same time, and he instantly understood the reason.

This ultimate containment prison, known as the Silent Containment Tower, was built over a hundred years ago.

The world-ending defense line was built by various countries using all their national resources, based on the destruction messages left behind by previous human civilizations.

For generations, a prison warden has been appointed to guard this place and await the appearance of strange and calamities, in order to prevent the world from being destroyed.

More than a hundred years have passed, but the so-called calamities have never appeared. The destruction of the previous civilization has been increasingly questioned by the local people, and rumors have spread.

Some say that supernatural disasters are complete nonsense, an excuse for the self-destruction of pre-civilization scientific research and war that went out of control.

Some say this is just a lie used by rulers throughout history to amass wealth and control military forces.

This containment tower, which costs a fortune to maintain, has long been seen as a burden by various countries. Funding has been cut again and again, and staffing has been reduced continuously. The guards are stationed on the isolated island year after year, seeing no meaning in it, and morale is low.

Over the course of more than a hundred years, three or four wardens came and went, but they always had nothing to do.

The Silent Containment Tower has long been pushed to the brink of complete closure, and the guards below have long lost their belief in perseverance, leaving only numbness and confusion.

Xu Feng looked at the group of dejected and listless prison guards below the stage and gently tapped the railing with his fingertips.

Beneath the silver mask, a knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to enter this instance, and there's a high probability that something bad is about to happen in this instance!

A calamity or anomaly will likely appear soon.

Xu Feng pondered for a moment, then spoke. His voice was deep yet clear, piercing through the gloomy atmosphere on the field. There was no reprimand, but rather a calm and certain tone.

"I know what you're thinking."

"A century of stationing without any disasters, tight budgets, and a bleak future. They even think that the so-called world-destroying anomalies are nothing but a ridiculous prank, and that this containment tower has no reason to exist."

One sentence perfectly struck a chord with everyone, and the audience looked up.

Looking at the unfamiliar warden on the high platform, his eyes showed surprise, as well as barely concealed frustration and bewilderment.

Lian Hongying and Ouyang Tingxue, sitting below the stage, looked at the warden standing on the high platform with some surprise.

They wondered if it was just their imagination, but the world boss of the Order side sounded so familiar in terms of both appearance and voice, somewhat like the Bloody Gentleman.

I'm not entirely sure, maybe I should observe it further.
