Chapter 341: Chapter 341: The First Phase of Battle
Although Jeremy was unaware that both Liam and General Howard had placed all their hopes on him, it didn’t change his resolve. He was determined to give everything he had. In his mind, only he was capable of defeating The Lost Realm’s instance boss.
After about half an hour of making their way deeper into the instance, Jeremy finally led his companions to the very heart of the instance. What lay before them was a vast, desolate expanse. At the center of this space was a massive, pitch-black lake. In the waters of the lake, a glowing white worm-like creature writhed and swam about, radiating an eerie brilliance.
It was immediately clear that this glowing white worm was The Lost Realm’s instance boss.
Upon seeing the boss, Jeremy wasted no time and shouted to his companions, “Everyone, get ready for battle! I’ll be the one to strike first!” Without waiting for a response, Jeremy leaped down from the elevated platform they were standing on.
The moment he entered the wide-open area, Jeremy sensed something was off. The spatial structure of the area was incredibly chaotic, making movement unpredictable and dangerous. Quickly, he turned back and warned his teammates, “Don’t come down here! Stay where it’s safe and support me from a distance!”
Bonnie and Ritchie, hearing Jeremy’s urgent warning, immediately altered their plans. Originally, both had intended to fight alongside Jeremy, believing that with their strength—second only to his—they should stand by his side and assist in the boss battle. But now, with Jeremy’s cautionary advice, they had no choice but to remain in a safer position.
Bonnie was the first to spring into action. She withdrew her staff, and as soon as it was in her hand, her eyes became shrouded in a layer of frost. A dark cloud materialized above the instance boss, and within moments, a powerful blizzard descended from the sky, swirling around the boss.
At the same time, Ritchie activated his ring, summoning shadows stored within it. The shadows coalesced into monstrous creatures that immediately charged toward the instance boss, intending to overwhelm it.
Though both Bonnie and Ritchie reacted swiftly, their attacks didn’t land before Jeremy was already at the edge of the black lake. Just as Bonnie’s storm began to howl and Ritchie’s shadow creatures surged forward, Jeremy had already closed the distance between himself and the instance boss.
From this vantage point, Jeremy felt the immense power radiating from the glowing white worm, and he knew the fight ahead would be unlike anything they had faced before. His heart raced with adrenaline, but he remained focused. He had to be the spearhead of this attack, the one to shatter the defenses of this powerful foe. As he readied himself for the first strike, he could feel the chaotic space around him twisting, making every move a gamble.
Despite the chaos, Jeremy’s resolve only hardened. He would not fail.
Jeremy gripped Mortal Combat tightly and swung it forcefully at the edge of the black lake. At the same time, he activated his innate ability, The King of Time and Space, linking the space at the lake’s edge with the space at the lake’s center. This allowed his attack to bypass the distance and strike directly at The Lost Realm’s instance boss, the glowing white worm writhing in the middle of the lake.
His attack had some effect—the white worm turned its head toward Jeremy, emitting what sounded like a wailing cry. But this didn’t mean Jeremy had succeeded. In an instant, the glowing worm shot up into the air.
Bonnie’s Blizzard spell, which had been summoned moments earlier, had no effect on the worm. It didn’t even slow the creature down. Instead, the worm radiated tiny white lights from its body, sending them outward like glowing spores.
In that moment, everyone heard the distant sound of drums, signifying violent spatial fluctuations around them. These intense spatial distortions triggered powerful gravitational waves. Bonnie and Ritchie were the first to feel the effects—immediate, excruciating headaches overcame them. Bonnie’s grip on her staff weakened to the point where she could barely hold it, while Ritchie’s ring cracked under the pressure. Around both of them, patches of warped space formed, making it feel as though they were being crushed under an immense, invisible weight.

Behind Bonnie and Ritchie, Emma and Claire were also hit by the intense interference. Emma felt like her body was being torn apart, while Claire struggled to breathe, as though all the air had been sucked out of her lungs.
Jeremy’s companions were all caught in a massive crisis, but he couldn’t help them. The dangers they were facing paled in comparison to the threat Jeremy himself was up against. The space around him had become incredibly unstable, so much so that he noticed a miniature black hole forming directly in front of him. This black hole began sucking in all of Jeremy’s High-Dimensional Data, the unique spatial energy he possessed.
Without hesitation, Jeremy swung Mortal Combat, shattering the miniature black hole before it could absorb more of his energy. But as soon as the black hole was destroyed, the space around him shifted violently again. The glowing white worm appeared directly above him, its body coiling in a circular shape, resembling the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros—an eternal serpent consuming its own tail.
As it closed the loop, the worm transformed into a massive black hole, one that began to pull everything in, including Jeremy. The immense gravitational pull enveloped him, threatening to swallow him whole.
At the very last moment, as the black hole was about to close around him, Jeremy activated The King of Time and Space once more. A portal opened behind him, and in an instant, Jeremy stepped through it, teleporting to the far edge of the vast open area, just outside the black hole’s reach.
Breathing heavily but still composed, Jeremy realized that this battle would demand everything he had—and more.
The glowing white worm’s attack didn’t succeed, but it didn’t seem discouraged. In the brief exchange, it had clearly gained the upper hand. The worm retracted from its black hole form and returned to its original writhing shape. It dove back into the black lake, causing ripples to spread across the water’s surface. As the ripples intensified, the surrounding space once again began to distort violently.
One after another, miniature black holes appeared in different locations around the vast area. These black holes were not only absorbing Jeremy’s High-Dimensional Data, but they were also attempting to drain him of his other powers as well.
Jeremy stood firm, gripping Mortal Combat tightly, his eyes focused intently on the glowing worm. He had already realized that this battle was far from simple, but he hadn’t anticipated that the instance boss of The Lost Realm would be this difficult to handle.
“I need to find its weakness,” Jeremy thought to himself. “Could the black lake be its weak point? If I can destroy the lake, it might lose its ability to harness such immense spatial power.”
In a flash of insight, Jeremy zeroed in on what could be the worm’s most vulnerable spot. Without hesitation, he activated his innate talent, The King of Time and Space. A portal appeared before him, and he stepped through, emerging once again at the edge of the black lake.
As soon as he arrived, he felt the intense compression of the space around him. The compressed space had become so dense that it felt solid, and Jeremy’s movements were severely slowed, as though he were wading through thick, viscous liquid. Every step forward was a struggle.
The glowing white worm reappeared in the middle of the lake. This time, it didn’t release its white lights into the surroundings. Instead, it gathered all the glowing points together. Soon, a massive white sphere, made up of countless illusionary doors, formed around Jeremy, enclosing him in its center.
Jeremy’s situation had become extremely perilous, but his King of Time and Space ability alerted him to the danger. He knew with absolute certainty that he couldn’t allow the white sphere to engulf him. If it did, he would be lost forever in an endless labyrinth of folded space, with no hope of escape.
Gritting his teeth, Jeremy summoned every ounce of strength he had. His hands, still clutching Mortal Combat, began to tremble from the sheer force he was channeling. Determined, he raised his weapon and aimed for the space in front of him, slashing with all his might.
While Mortal Combat couldn’t physically harm space itself, Jeremy’s innate talent, The King of Time and Space, allowed him to imbue the weapon with the ability to slice through dimensions. As the blade cut through the highly compressed, folded space, it created a cascade of miniature black holes.
Unexpectedly, these black holes worked to Jeremy’s advantage. The newly-formed black holes interfered with the structure of the white sphere, weakening its grasp. Seizing the moment, Jeremy saw his chance to escape.
With the white sphere’s control disrupted, Jeremy’s movements became slightly faster. He wasted no time, using his spatial manipulation powers to create a small opening in the chaotic space around him. Just as the white sphere tried to reform and trap him again, Jeremy dashed through the opening, escaping the deadly trap. His heart pounded in his chest, knowing how close he had come to being lost forever.
But he wasn’t done yet. The battle was far from over, and the glowing white worm was still lurking, waiting for its next opportunity to strike.
Jeremy swiftly escaped from the highly folded space. Once free, he thrust Mortal Combat deep into the ground of the vast area, immediately activating its special ability. A unique space formed between him and the glowing white sphere.
In reality, Jeremy was exploiting a loophole in the rules of the battle. The special space created by Mortal Combat had the power to isolate Jeremy and a chosen enemy within it, regardless of other external factors. While the white sphere wasn’t technically an enemy or a monster, Jeremy had cleverly folded one of the glowing points from the white worm into the white sphere. This trick made Mortal Combat treat the white sphere as a temporary enemy.
Jeremy’s immediate goal was to deal with the white sphere first. If he could harness the powerful spatial energy contained within it, he would gain a critical advantage in the ongoing battle.
In an instant, Jeremy and the white sphere vanished from the area, disappearing entirely from The Lost Realm instance boss’s field of vision. This sudden disappearance confused the glowing white worm. The boss, now unsure of Jeremy’s whereabouts, began to scan the surroundings furiously.
The glowing white worm could only detect Jeremy’s companions, but it couldn’t locate Jeremy himself. This situation enraged the instance boss. In a fit of fury, the glowing white worm smashed its massive body into the ground, causing the entire instance to tremble violently.
The ground shook, and the fabric of space within The Lost Realm distorted further, as the boss’s frustration manifested in the violent upheaval of the environment. Despite its immense power, the instance boss found itself momentarily blinded to Jeremy’s location—a fact that only deepened its growing rage.
