End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: The Blessing of the Cosmic Will
Although Jeremy did not intend to engage in combat with the class change goddess Janna, who was ensnared in an abnormal state, he remained thoroughly prepared for battle.

Even though he had entered the realm belonging to the class change goddess Janna without carrying any weapons or items, he still possessed the innate ability known as The King of Time and Space.

Jeremy believed that by effectively utilizing the powers bestowed upon him by The King of Time and Space, he could ensure his safety in the impending confrontation that might erupt.

As he readied himself for the potential conflict, Jeremy took a few steps backward.

At that moment, the distance between Jeremy and the class change goddess Janna had expanded to over ten meters.

However, such a distance did little to ease Jeremy’s apprehension.

This was because the condition of the class change goddess Janna had deteriorated significantly.

The violet aura that had once surrounded her body had now transformed entirely into a menacing shade of black. Moreover, the eyes of the class change goddess Janna had now fixated upon Jeremy.

The class change goddess Janna seemed to regard Jeremy as an enemy that she must annihilate.

Upon meeting the gaze of the class change goddess Janna, Jeremy promptly activated the ability known as The King of Time and Space.

Before him appeared an ethereal portal, and behind the class change goddess Janna, an identical illusionary doorway manifested as well.

Jeremy resolved that the moment the class change goddess Janna launched an assault against him, he would leap through this spectral doorway, instantaneously transporting himself to her rear.

At that point, whether to evade the class change goddess Janna’s strike or to mount a counterattack from behind, he would find himself in an advantageous position.

As Jeremy conjured these two illusory portals, the class change goddess Janna surged toward him with remarkable speed.

At this moment, her movements exhibited a peculiar and unsettling quality.

The class change goddess Janna neither employed her formidable magical attacks, nor did she approach Jeremy in a conventional manner. Instead, her limbs contorted grotesquely as they supported her body, allowing her to advance rapidly toward him.

Faced with this sudden and bizarre development, Jeremy sprang into action without hesitation.

He stepped through the ethereal portal and instantly arrived at the location where the class change goddess Janna had previously stood.

“I’m sorry! Your current state is exceedingly strange, and I must take action against you!” Jeremy said softly, gazing in the direction of the class change goddess Janna.

As he spoke, Jeremy’s left hand reached forward, clenched into a fist.

Suddenly, a fissure appeared in the space surrounding his left hand, rapidly expanding toward the area where the class change goddess Janna was situated.

When the crack reached the vicinity of the class change goddess Janna, a peculiar space materialized around her body.

Before she could react, the class change goddess Janna found herself sealed within this enigmatic realm.

With the sealing of the class change goddess Janna successfully accomplished, Jeremy let out a slight sigh of relief.

“Regardless, I can at least ensure my safety for now. But what should I do next? The class change goddess Janna merely mentioned the name of the master of the Tower of Exile and was immediately tainted by the power possessed by the [Fool].

If I were to truly enter the Tower of Exile, it is highly likely that I would be obliterated by the power of the [Fool]. After all, my strength is somewhat inferior to that of the class change goddess Janna.”

At this moment, Jeremy was feeling quite troubled.

He sensed that the dire situation had far exceeded his capacity for control.

Just as Jeremy was grappling with his anxiety, he keenly detected fluctuations in the surrounding space.

The class change goddess Janna had successfully broken through the spatial seal, and a pale hand extended directly from the peculiar realm.

The pale hand belonged to the class change goddess Janna, and with a swift motion, it hurled an unusually malevolent curse directly at Jeremy.

Jeremy had initially intended to use the ability of The King of Time and Space to swiftly teleport away.

However, as he attempted to activate The King of Time and Space, he suddenly realized he was immobilized, locked in place.

“Why is this happening?! Could it be that after being tainted by the [Fool], the class change goddess Janna has gained the ability to counter my spatial skills?”

Jeremy was utterly astonished.

Amidst his shock, he found himself spiraling into a state of deep panic.

The only resource he could rely on was the power of The King of Time and Space that he possessed.

If the class change goddess Janna truly had the capacity to negate the spatial abilities granted by his talent, there was no way he could endure for much longer.

Unable to take any action, Jeremy remained rooted in place, forced to watch as the class change goddess Janna gradually broke free from the peculiar spatial seal.

The class change goddess Janna completely emerged from the enigmatic realm.

At that moment, she fixed Jeremy with an intensely cold gaze.

As Jeremy observed her movements, he simultaneously attempted to activate his talent, The King of Time and Space, hoping to free himself from the immobilization.

Although Jeremy exerted every ounce of his strength, his efforts proved to be in vain.

The class change goddess Janna approached Jeremy, lifting her head and opening her mouth wide enough to swallow him whole.

All Jeremy could perceive was an overwhelming abyss of darkness.

Just as Jeremy felt he was on the brink of being devoured by the class change goddess Janna, she suddenly let out a wail of despair.

In the next instant, the class change goddess Janna was forcefully propelled away.

Before Jeremy could comprehend what had transpired, he found himself liberated from the state of confinement.

He warily scanned his surroundings, and it wasn’t long before he spotted the figure of the [World].

“You finally arrived! I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show up here!”

Upon seeing the [World], Jeremy felt a sense of calm wash over him, dispelling the panic that had previously engulfed him.

In his view, the [World] was bound to provide him with immense assistance, and moreover, its power significantly surpassed that of the class change goddess Janna.

“I rushed over as soon as I received your message. However, I encountered a few minor obstacles along the way, which delayed me slightly.”

The [World] replied to Jeremy in a cool tone, subsequently shifting its gaze towards the class change goddess Janna.

Jeremy followed suit, directing his attention towards the class change goddess Janna.

Although she had been severely wounded by the [World]’s recent attack, she still remained tainted by the corrupting influence of the [Fool].

“What should we do now? Is it not possible to remove the [Fool]’s taint from her?” Jeremy asked the [World] directly.

The [World] slowly nodded in response.

“Indeed, we must eliminate the [Fool]’s corruption. However, the extent of the contamination that the class change goddess Janna has suffered is quite severe. It cannot be completely eradicated in a short period of time.”

The [World]’s reply left Jeremy feeling a tinge of concern.

“What should we do then? Is there anything I can do to assist the class change goddess Janna and you?” Jeremy asked, even though he was acutely aware that he was entangled in his own troubles, still, he wished to provide some measure of support to his allies.

Upon hearing this, the [World] turned its gaze towards Jeremy.

“The most important matter for you right now is not to assist us. What you must prioritize is entering the Tower of Exile as swiftly as possible.”

A bitter smile crept onto Jeremy’s lips upon hearing this statement.

“How can I possibly dare to enter the Tower of Exile? The class change goddess Janna merely mentioned the [Fool] and was immediately afflicted by its corrupting power.

If I were to step into the Tower of Exile, survival would be utterly impossible for me. Thus, I have essentially abandoned my own plans.”

The [World] shook its head.

“The reason the class change goddess Janna was tainted is not merely due to her mentioning the [Fool]. Rather, it is because her inherent divinity is already linked to the [Fool].

When the class change goddess Janna inadvertently recalled the [Fool] again, the [Fool] successfully corrupted her by exploiting the connection between their divine essences.

Therefore, even if you enter the Tower of Exile, you will not be easily tainted by the [Fool]’s power. Moreover, I shall provide assistance throughout your journey.

I will grant you the protection of the Cosmic Will!”

As soon as the [World] finished speaking, Jeremy felt a sudden surge of pure white light swirling above his head.

Within the luminous radiance, the faint outlines of stars began to materialize.

“What you see above you is the Cosmic Will! As long as you do not encounter a true deity within the Tower of Exile, the Cosmic Will will ensure your safety.”

After delivering this assurance, the [World] waved its hand decisively.

“Leave the matters here to me. You should return to the real world and make your final preparations for entering the Tower of Exile. My understanding of the Tower of Exile is actually quite limited, so your subsequent actions will largely depend on you.”

Jeremy wanted to ask the [World] something further upon hearing this.

However, before he could articulate his question, he found himself abruptly back in the real world.

Although he had returned to his home, Jeremy had not yet fully extricated himself from the earlier state of panic.

He murmured to himself, still somewhat incredulous,

“Could it be that the [World] is facing an insurmountable problem, just like me? It has never been late before! It seems I truly must hasten my pace!”
