Although Jeremy used hisKing of Time and Spacetalent to slow down [The White Tower]''s flight,


    [The White Tower] still managed to catch up with [The World] by taking full advantage of the properties of High-Dimensional Data.


    Both of them reached the map of all things and stars at almost the exact same moment.


    As soon as they touched the map of all things and stars, the map emitted an extraordinarily dazzling light.


    At the same time, intense spatial disturbances rippled through the map.


    This powerful spatial ripple spread directly to the Tower of Exile, causing violent tremors to cascade downward from its topmostyer.


    Jeremy, the War God, and Ritchie, who were on the top floor of the Tower of Exile, were hit hard by the shockwaves.


    Jeremy felt as if his body and soul were being torn apart, though his King of Time and Space talent allowed him to reduce the intensity of the space-time distortions around him.


    Despite this, Jeremy was unable to fully evade the severe consequences of the spatial fluctuations.


    Next to him, Ritchie let out a piercing scream of pain.


    He didn''t even have time to slip into the shadows, and even if he had, there was no escaping the powerful spatial ripple this time.


    The War God, standing nearby, lost consciousnesspletely.


    Already weakened from the previous battle, the War God couldn''t withstand the space-time shockwave this time.


    Moreover, unlike Jeremy and Ritchie, the War God didn''t have any special talents to defend against the space-time ripple. His only recourse was to rely on his raw physical strength to endure it, and this time, it wasn''t enough.


    The uppermostyer of the Tower of Exile wasn''t even the epicenter of the spatial ripple.


    As the ripple passed through the topyer, it sted through the tunnel leading to the highest level of the Tower.


    Hiding in that tunnel, awaiting the battle''s oue, were the Mechanical Empress and the Mechanical Tutor, both of whom were violently thrown aside by the shockwave.


    The mechanical monsters near them were also heavily damaged to varying degrees.


    The spatial ripple continued to surge downward through the Tower of Exile, severely impacting every singleyer.


    Each level of the tower felt the devastating force of the ripple, leaving destruction in its wake as it pressed ever deeper into the structure.


    Within the soul prison of the Tower of Exile, the Goddess of Life also felt the violent spatial ripple.


    However, theGoddess of Lifewasn''t heavily affected.


    This was because her location was near the base of the Tower, and, prior to this, she had built strong defenses around her.


    "It seems your n is making tremendous progress! For the battle at the top of the Tower to be this intense... you must seed!"


    TheGoddess of Lifeunderstood well that themotion likely meant Jeremy and his allies had made significant headway in their efforts.


    Thus, she offered a prayer for the sess of Jeremy''s n, knowing full well that her own strength wouldn''t be enough to assist him in such an intense battle.


    She had no intention of heading to the uppermost levels of the Tower of Exile.


    The intense spatial ripple didn''tst long.


    When it finally subsided, there were very few mechanical monsters left capable of fighting within the Tower of Exile.


    The Mechanical Empress and the Mechanical Tutor had both been thrown down to the mid-levels of the Tower.


    The Mechanical Tutor crawled out from beneath a pile of rubble, her expression panicked as she looked toward the Mechanical Empress and asked,


    "What on earth happened? Why was the spatial ripple so strong? Could it be that the great deity was defeated by the intruders?"


    Her reaction was exaggerated because she assumed the spatial ripple had been caused by Jeremy.


    In the previous battles, the Mechanical Tutor had learned that Jeremy possessed the talent of The King of Time and Space.


    She instinctively believed Jeremy''s strength had grown too powerful.


    The Mechanical Empress, too, wore a grim expression.


    Though she didn''t know exactly what was happening at the top of the Tower, she was fully aware of the current state of the Tower of Exile.


    After enduring such a powerful spatial disturbance, the Tower''s structure had be extremely unstable.


    If the battle continued, the entire Tower of Exile might very well be destroyed.


    After a brief moment of contemtion, the Mechanical Empress turned to the Mechanical Tutor and said,


    "Perhaps we should head to the base of the Tower. The Tower of Exile may bepletely destroyed if the battle drags on."


    TheMechanical Tutor''sexpression shifted to one of shock upon hearing this suggestion.


    "Is the situation really this dire? Surely the great [Fool] will intervene and help us, right?"


    TheMechanical Tutorcouldn''t believe that the Tower of Exile, which was of great importance to [Fool], would be left to crumble.


    To her, it seemed certain that [Fool] wouldn''t sit idly by and allow the destruction of the Tower of Exile.


    The Mechanical Empress shook her head.


    "I can''t say for sure if [Fool] will act. The great deity is beyond ourprehension. All we can do now is ensure our own safety."


    With the Mechanical Empress making it clear, the Mechanical Tutor wasted no more time.


    The two quickly made their way to the base of the Tower of Exile.


    Meanwhile, on the uppermost level of the Tower, Jeremy took a long time to recover.


    Even after regaining his senses, he still felt a hazy disorientation.


    Instinctively, he looked up at the sky, but all he could see were the brilliant stars and the vague figures of two entities locked in battle.


    "How is the battle going? Can [The World] really win?"


    Jeremy didn''t feel very confident.


    He was deeply concerned that [The World] might not emerge victorious. If that happened, he, Ritchie, and the War God would undoubtedly face certain doom.


    After a few more moments, Jeremy''s senses sharpened, and he could see the battle more clearly.


    He noticed that [The World] seemed to be gaining the upper hand.


    This sight brought him a small sense of relief.


    "My strength has mostly returned. I can''t just stand here and do nothing. I need to find some way to help [The World]."


    With that thought, Jeremy decided to search the top of the Tower of Exile for any valuable artifacts.


    If he could find something useful, taking those treasures out of the Tower could significantly increase their strength.


    But just as Jeremy was about to begin his search, a sudden, overwhelming sense of danger washed over him.


    The brilliant stars in the sky began to rapidly dim, and the two figures locked inbat drew apart from each other.


    One by one, ck spheres began appearing in the sky.


    These spheres connected, eventually forming a massive void at the very center of the sky.


    Instinctively, everyone''s gaze was drawn to this enormous ck void.


    Though Jeremy couldn''t see anything within it, he had a deep, unsettling feeling that the void contained an immense and dangerous power.


    As Jeremy was still grappling with his confusion, an eye suddenly opened within the ck void.


    Then more eyes began to open, one after another.


    A voice that pierced through time and space echoed in Jeremy''s mind.


    "Your souls will soon be mine."


    Jeremy understood the words perfectly, but the tone and voice were something he couldn''t quite grasp.


    It seemed as though the voice was hidden behindyers of thick fog, both elusive and iprehensible.


    There was only one thing Jeremy knew for sure—his soul was about to be taken.


    The moment the voice finished speaking, Jeremy felt his soul being torn apart. Experience new stories on м??


    He watched, crystal clear, as part of his soul was ripped away and drawn toward the massive void in the sky.


    Though he knew he had to act, he found himself utterly powerless to move.


    His body and mind seemedpletely paralyzed, and oddly enough, Jeremy didn''t feel like something was wrong.


    It was as if his consciousness had been entirely separated from his body.


    He watched everything unfolding from a third-person perspective, as though the destruction of his soul no longer concerned him.


    Jeremy stared nkly as his soul drifted toward the void. He didn''t even notice what was happening to Ritchie and the War God.


    At that very moment, a map covered in brilliant stars flew toward the massive void.


    It was none other than the map of all things and stars.


    The map of all things and stars expanded rapidly, temporarily covering the ck void.


    The moment the void was obscured, Jeremy''s consciousness snapped back into his body.


    He gasped for breath, inhaling deeply several times.


    Immediately, Jeremy activated his King of Time and Space talent, reiming the part of his soul that had been torn away.


    At the same time, he realized that his strange state moments ago was caused by [Fool].


    The massive ck void in the sky was the projection of [Fool] before their arrival.


    Jeremy''s heart raced with panic.


    He hadn''t expected that merely a fragment of [Fool]''s projected power would render himpletely helpless.


    Had themap of all things and starsnot blocked the giant void summoned by [Fool]''s projection, Jeremy''s soul would have been stolen away entirely.


    Now fully aware again, Jeremy quickly nced toward Ritchie and the War God.


    He needed to assess their condition and figure out their next steps together.
