End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Chapter 304: The Massive Mechanical Army
Upon noticing Ritchie’s abnormal condition, Jeremy moved toward him as quickly as possible.

It wasn’t long before Jeremy realized that there seemed to be a vast number of mechanical monsters surrounding him. And these strange creatures were all at least level 40.

Although Jeremy himself was above level 50, he knew that when faced with such a large number of level 40 mechanical monsters, he needed to be extremely cautious.

This was because even a level 40 mechanical monster possessed a significant amount of High-Dimensional Data, and when such data was gathered in large quantities, it could form a terrifying enemy.

“What on earth is going on? Why are there so many mechanical monsters gathered here? Could it be that the powerful soul of the evil god, which escaped from the soul prison, is trapped here?” Jeremy muttered to himself, deeply puzzled.

In Jeremy’s mind, only when dealing with the souls of exceptionally strong evil gods would there be a need to amass so many mechanical monsters in one place.

Despite his speculations, Jeremy refrained from acting rashly.

He cautiously approached the direction where the mechanical monsters were congregating. From this position, he could observe the situation more clearly while avoiding detection by the mechanical monsters.

From his vantage point, Jeremy saw countless mechanical monsters launching attacks on a towering spire. Inside the spire, an endless number of spells were being cast.

“Could it be that Ritchie and the God of War are trapped inside the spire? If that’s the case, then they’re likely imprisoned with other powerful souls as well,” Jeremy thought, his mind racing as he took in the scene.

After assessing the situation, Jeremy made a swift decision. He immediately activated his “King of Time and Space” ability, creating a shimmering portal in front of him.

Jeremy passed through the portal, arriving directly inside the spire.

His actions were extremely risky, but if he wanted to understand the situation as quickly as possible, he knew he had to take on great risks.

The moment Jeremy stepped out of the portal, he felt the overwhelming force of a powerful soul assaulting him.

Before he could react, an unknown force pulled him to the side.

Once Jeremy regained his senses, he realized that it was the God of War who had dragged him to safety. The powerful soul he had sensed earlier was coming from another powerful entity within the spire.

“What the hell is going on? Why are you trapped here?” Jeremy asked the God of War and Ritchie, now that he had a better grasp of the situation.

In Jeremy’s mind, even though the God of War was known for being reckless, Ritchie should have been more careful. At the very least, Ritchie should have ensured that he wouldn’t get stuck in this spire-shaped structure.

The God of War remained silent, his expression heavy with concern.

Ritchie, on the other hand, looked a bit embarrassed as he explained, “After we left the soul prison, we tracked the footsteps of other powerful souls and headed toward the upper levels of the Tower of Exile. Initially, we didn’t encounter any mechanical monsters.

But when we reached the area around this spire, the other powerful souls suddenly stopped. To ensure our own safety, we stopped as well.

Not long after, a massive number of mechanical monsters surrounded us. We had no way to break through the encirclement because there were simply too many of them.

Also, staying inside the spire offers some protection from these powerful souls. At least for now, we share a common enemy with them.”

Ritchie’s explanation finally made everything clear to Jeremy.

Jeremy let out a sigh. “The enemy of my enemy is sometimes my friend, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re always on our side. However, we don’t have much choice right now. The only thing we can do is help those powerful souls fend off the surrounding mechanical monsters.

Honestly, I don’t even think we should call them mechanical monsters. They’re more like part of a massive mechanical army.

We need to get out of here immediately! More mechanical monsters will gather as time goes on. If we don’t escape soon, we’ll never get out.”

Jeremy’s words resonated with both Ritchie and the God of War. They knew Jeremy could lead them to safety, especially since they were aware of his “King of Time and Space” ability.

Jeremy scanned the surroundings one last time to ensure no one could attack them. Satisfied, he activated his “King of Time and Space” talent.

A slightly shimmering portal appeared in the space between Jeremy, Ritchie, and the God of War.

The moment the portal appeared, Ritchie instinctively moved to step through it, but the God of War quickly grabbed him by the arm.

“Something feels off. Do you really think this portal is going to transport us to a safe place?” the God of War asked, eyeing the portal warily before turning his gaze to Jeremy.

Jeremy didn’t immediately respond. In truth, he wasn’t sure of the answer himself.

Both Jeremy and the God of War had noticed something peculiar about the portal. Under normal circumstances, the portals Jeremy summoned were supposed to be extremely stable, ensuring safe passage to their destination. However, the one standing before them now was anything but stable.

An unstable portal could easily transport anyone who entered it to an unknown and potentially dangerous location. And in the Tower of Exile, an unknown location usually spelled extreme peril.

Upon seeing the concern on both Jeremy and the God of War’s faces, Ritchie started to piece things together as well.

With a hint of worry in his voice, he turned to Jeremy. “If the portal isn’t reliable, what should we do next? Are we just going to stay here? You said earlier that staying here would only make things more dangerous.”

Jeremy, feeling a bit agitated, ran through his options. In his mind, things weren’t supposed to turn out this badly. After a few moments of contemplation, Jeremy spoke up.

“With my power alone, I can’t stabilize the portal. So, we might need to collaborate with the other powerful souls inside this spire.”

Without waiting for a response, Jeremy moved toward one of the powerful souls nearby. The powerful soul noticed Jeremy’s presence but didn’t pay much attention to him, continuing its relentless assault on the mechanical monsters surrounding the spire.

“I believe we need to leave here as quickly as possible! Staying any longer will only make things worse. I can generate a portal, but I can’t maintain its stability on my own. If you’re willing to cooperate, we can stabilize the portal together and escape this dangerous area.”

Jeremy proposed his plan directly, hoping to appeal to the soul’s sense of urgency.

However, the powerful soul completely ignored him, too focused on fighting the mechanical monsters.

Frustrated but not defeated, Jeremy turned to seek assistance from the other powerful souls in the spire.

However, much to Jeremy’s surprise, the other powerful souls also chose not to cooperate with him. It seemed that, in their minds, staying within the spire was the safest option.

Jeremy returned to Ritchie and the God of War, empty-handed.

Ritchie’s mood had darkened considerably by this point. He couldn’t shake the feeling that it was his rash actions that had brought them into this dire situation.

“If only I had thought things through more carefully while we were still in the soul prison, we might not be in this huge mess now,” Ritchie said, his voice heavy with regret.

The God of War shook his head. “You can’t blame yourself for this! I supported your plan, too. If your actions led us into this crisis, then part of the responsibility falls on me as well.”

“That’s enough! Now is not the time for the two of you to argue over who’s to blame!” Jeremy cut them off, his tone sharp.

In Jeremy’s view, there was no point in debating responsibility at this critical moment. Instead, their focus should be on finding a way out of the situation.

Just as Jeremy finished speaking, a loud crash echoed from the base of the spire. All three of them could feel the structure begin to tilt at a noticeable angle.

“It looks like things have gone from bad to worse! This spire is about to be destroyed by the mechanical monsters! We can’t afford to hesitate any longer!

As dangerous as it might be to pass through an unstable portal, I believe staying here is far more dangerous! You two, follow me through the portal!”

With that, Jeremy activated his “King of Time and Space” ability once again. Though he put all his strength into it this time, the portal he generated was still dangerously unstable.

The God of War glanced at the flickering portal but quickly made up his mind. Without hesitation, he was the first to step through.

Seeing the God of War go, Ritchie followed closely behind, stepping into the portal as well.

As both of them passed through, the portal became even more unstable. Just as it was about to collapse, Jeremy made his move and leapt through.

The moment Jeremy crossed the portal, the spire they had just been in collapsed behind them, with a torrent of mechanical monsters surging into the rubble.
