Jeremy did not reveal the details of his n. Instead, he pulled Ritchie a little further away.
The two of them moved back to a spot where the soldiers guarding the entrance could no longer see them.
"What exactly are you nning to do?" Ritchie asked, his voice carrying a hint of doubt.
Jeremy did not answer. Instead, he reached into his pocket and took out the Dark Core.
The original power within the Dark Core had already been depleted, but Jeremy had no intention of using its energy. He treated the Dark Core as a storage vessel for power.
During the battle in Valley City, Jeremy had stored a portion of Major Joseph''s fire-based abilities within the Dark Core.
The moment he took it out, mes erupted around it, burning intensely.
Jeremy cast a smile in the direction of the entrance. Then, under Ritchie''s astonished gaze, he hurled the burning mes straight toward the gate.
The soldiers guarding the Capital''s entrance were by no means weak, yet they were still caught off guard by the sudden fire attack. Panic spread among them.
Moreover, beyond the soldiers, there were ordinary citizens present at the entrance.
When these people saw mes descending from the sky, they screamed in terror and scattered in every direction.
Chaos quickly engulfed the Capital''s entrance.
While the soldiers struggled to block the fire, they also attempted to restore order and locate the attacker.
"We''ve neutralized the attack! Do not panic! Everyone stay where you are and do not run around!"
A stern, authoritative voice rang out from the entrance.
It was unmistakably the voice of the soldiers'' captain.
Jeremy and Ritchie heard it as well.
The moment the voice reached them, Jeremy swiftly opened a Portal.
"We don''t need to stick around here any longer. Come with me," he said with a grin.
Before Ritchie could even react, Jeremy grabbed him and pulled him into the Portal.
As soon as the two stepped inside, the Portal vanished without a trace.
A few minutester, a towering figure with an overwhelming aura of authority appeared at the very spot where the Portal had just been.
"There are traces of spatial fluctuations here. The one who just attacked us must possess space-rted abilities or an innate spatial talent. Follow this lead and investigate immediately."
The tall figure spoke in a grave tone, hismanding voice leaving no room for hesitation.
At hismand, the soldiers sprang into action.
Every single soldier remained on high alert.
Not only did they search the surrounding area near the entrance for any sign of the attacker, but they also swiftly ryed the news of the assault to others.
All entrances to the Capital were ced under strict security measures.
The soldiers stationed at each gate were visibly tense, their heightened vignce akin to being on edge at the slightest disturbance.
After all, the Capital had suffered multiple attacks before. Each assault had resulted in devastating consequences.
None of them wanted to witness the Capital being ambushed once again.
While the Capital was ced under full lockdown, Jeremy and Ritchie emerged from a Portal near a different entrance of the Capital.
At this moment, the two of them were quite a distance away from the gate.
Jeremy did not approach the entrance directly.
Instead, he activated his King of Time and Space ability, generating a Portal that discreetly opened at the corner of a building near the entrance.
Jeremy once again took out the Dark Core.
The mes surrounding the Dark Core were immediately sent through the Portal.
Ritchie, upon witnessing this scene, began to understand Jeremy''s intentions.
Still, he couldn''t help but voice his skepticism.
"Do you really think this will work? Are you sure this won''t just alert them and put them further on guard?"
"The Capital must already be on high alert. And Kean won''t leave so easily. As long as he stays inside the Capital, he has the military headquarters'' support at his disposal."
Ritchie was unconvinced that Jeremy''s n would seed.
By now, he had realized that Jeremy intended to throw the Capital intoplete disarray.
"Kean will have no choice but to act. The military headquarters will undoubtedly send people after me. If I fall into their hands, Kean''s position will be precarious."
Jeremy spoke with a confident smile. Then, without further dy, he sent the mes through the Portal.
The moment the fire passed through, Jeremy swiftly opened another Portal.
Ritchie took the initiative this time and stepped through the Portal.
As soon as Jeremy and Ritchie passed through, a massive explosion erupted near the entrance of the Capital.
Since Jeremy had already thrown the Capital into a state of high alert, he had no intention of stopping there—he wanted to make sure everyone inside the Capital understood just how powerful he truly was.
Inside a secret conference room within the military headquarters, numerous high-ranking officers were engaged in a heated debate.
They had already received reports about the attack on the Capital''s entrance.
Although the attack itself had not been overwhelmingly powerful, it was enough to signify that the Capital was once again in a dangerous situation.
Some of the military leaders were in favor of taking immediate action.
"We must deploy arge number of soldiers to hunt down the creature bold enough tounch an attack on the Capital! We need to make it clear that no matter how powerful these monsters may be, the Capital is not a ce they can assault so easily!"
It was clear that this particr officer believed the attacker was a monster.
However, before he could continue, another voice rang out from the other end of the conference room.
"And how exactly are you so sure that a monster is responsible for this attack? Are monsters even capable of this level of calcted strategy? I believe the one who attacked the Capital was human. In fact, one of the individuals the military has been monitoring—one who possesses spatial and temporal abilities—could very well be responsible for this."
The moment these words were spoken, the room fell silent again.
At the head of the table sat an elderly man with a full head of silver-white hair. He slowly raised his voice and asked,
"You''re suggesting that Jeremy is the one behind this attack?"
"I can''t say for certain that Jeremy was the one whounched the attack. But I do believe he is the prime suspect. After all, he should still be in Moonlight City at this moment. Why don''t we simply contact Moonlight City and verify his current status?"
The elderly man nodded slowly.
"You make a valid point. Very well, then. Send an order to Moonlight City immediately. Have them report Jeremy''s current whereabouts to us at once."
After issuing themand, the elderly man rose from his seat.
"Regardless of whether the attacker is a monster or a human, I do not want any of you to panic. We have the means to ensure the Capital''s security. And despite the attack, the entrance to the Capital has not beenpletely destroyed."
"Even now, no soldiers have been seriously injured. Only a few civilians were hurt in the panic, and even then, it was due to their own recklessness. So there''s no need for us to be overly rmed."
After saying this, the elderly man with silver-white hair turned and left the conference room.
Walking down the hallway, he slowly shook his head.
Deep down, he felt a hint of disappointment.
He had expected the elite officers in that room to maintain aposed demeanor and quickly analyze the situation with a clear mind.
However, reality proved otherwise.
They were merely powerful individuals—nothing more.
Theycked the wisdom andposure needed to handle unexpected crises effectively.
Rather than adapting to the current situation, they simply followed the same strategies they had always used in the past.
Meanwhile, one of Kean''s allies within military headquarters wasted no time in rying this information to him.
At first, when Kean received the news, he was not particrly concerned.
He assumed that it was nothing more than an unexpected monster wandering too close to the Capital.
If it was just a particrly strong creature, the military should have no trouble eliminating it quickly.
"This information is useless to me. Jeremy and Ritchie will be arriving at the Capital soon. My priority right now is preparing for battle."
Kean remained focused on getting ready for the confrontation ahead.
However, just ten minutester, another report from the military headquarters came through.
This time, Kean could no longer remain as calm as before.
The military had confirmed that the person who had just attacked the Capital''s entrance was Jeremy.
Not only that, but it seemed that Jeremy was attempting to shut down all of the Capital''s entrances.
At first, Kean was deeply confused.
Why would Jeremy do this?
What was his true objective?@@novelbin@@
Frowning, he fell into deep thought.
But after a brief moment of contemtion, a realization struck him like a bolt of lightning.
"Could it be… his goal is to trap me inside the Capital?"
"And then… he and Ritchie willunch an attack on The Person in the Mirror and The Son of the Sun?!"
Kean''s voice trembled slightly as he slowly spoke those words, shock evident in his tone.
Kean suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of danger.
If his suspicions were correct, then The Person in the Mirror and The Son of the Sun were about to be in serious trouble.
And if he allowed Jeremy to eliminate them, then in the impending final battle, he would have no advantage left.
"I absolutely cannot let Jeremy''s n seed! I have to act immediately to stop him!"

Kean made his decision without hesitation.
He was ready to move out directly, but before that, he had to warn The Person in the Mirror and The Son of the Sun.
They needed to be prepared for what wasing.
