Jeremy's words caused the smile on the face of the White Tower to vanish abruptly.
It seemed that the entity realized what kind of action Jeremy was about to take.
"Such measures you plan to employ are doomed to fail! The monsters in your world are utterly incapable of posing even the slightest threat to me."
"For even those very monsters were created by me and the other architects of the apocalypse game. How could a creation ever stand against its creator?"
The White Tower, after an initial moment of panic, swiftly regained its composure.
At this moment, the entity believed it had seen through Jeremy's intentions.
The words Jeremy had just spoken were perceived merely as an attempt to cloud its judgment.
The White Tower was utterly unconvinced that Jeremy's plan could succeed, which was precisely what Jeremy had anticipated.
The smile on Jeremy's face did not waver, he replied with an air of nonchalance.
"Since you are unwilling to believe, then let us simply wait and see!"
After uttering these words, Jeremy conjured an enigmatic space right before him. This unknown realm effectively isolated Jeremy from the White Tower.
Seizing the moment when the White Tower could not swiftly traverse the unknown space, Jeremy leapt directly into a high-difficulty instance.
Jeremy's maneuver left the White Tower in a dilemma.
Although it had previously exuded immense confidence.
The prospect of entering a high-difficulty instance stirred a slight unease within it.
The earlier declarations made by the White Tower were, of course, not mere fabrications.
All the monsters in the real world were indeed crafted by the architects of the apocalypse game. However, each architect designed different creatures.
This implied that, apart from the most formidable existence known as the Fool, none of the other architects were privy to the weaknesses of all the monsters.
Even utilizing Kean's inherent talents, the White Tower's power was not yet so formidable as to completely disregard the limitations of a mortal body.
Should the White Tower rashly follow Jeremy into the high-difficulty instance, it risked facing a combined assault from both Jeremy and the instance's formidable boss.
After a moment of careful contemplation, the White Tower opted for a more cautious approach.
The White Tower relinquished control over Kean's mind, allowing Kean's consciousness to finally resurface.
Regaining his senses, Kean shouted vehemently, "You were going to turn me into your puppet?! I will never let your plan succeed!"
Kean, while shouting loudly, instinctively reached towards his pocket.
He hoped to find a handy weapon in his pocket. Although Kean knew the power gap between himself and the deity was immense.
He was unwilling to be completely turned into a puppet, so he was prepared to fight to the death.
Kean couldn't feel his pocket because the White Tower had discarded it long ago. The White Tower did this to ensure that, even in unforeseen circumstances, Kean couldn't escape its control.
"You don't need to waste any more time! First, understand where you are right now."
Kean never imagined that the one he had been cooperating with all along was actually the mastermind behind the apocalypse game.
What Kean found even more astonishing was that Jeremy posed such a significant threat to the mastermind behind the apocalypse game. From what the White Tower said, Kean even inferred that one of the masterminds had perished because of Jeremy.
"Are you really not deceiving me? How could Jeremy possess such formidable power?"
Kean still did not believe the White Tower completely. He felt that the portrayal of Jeremy's power was excessively exaggerated.
Although Kean had never gained the upper hand in his previous confrontations with Jeremy.
Although Kean was far inferior to Jeremy, both in one-on-one combat and in collaborating with others to solve instances.
Kean believed that if he worked hard to improve his own strength, one day he would be able to defeat Jeremy.
However, if Jeremy was indeed as powerful as the White Tower described, no matter how hard he tried, it would be impossible for him to overcome Jeremy.
"I have already agreed to your terms and fulfilled my side of the bargain. Now, you must act according to my orders. This is not the time for hesitation."
These words from the White Tower successfully jolted Kean back to reality.
"You're right! Since Jeremy possesses such formidable strength, we must seize this opportunity to completely annihilate him. We absolutely cannot afford to give him any chance of a comeback!"
Kean could no longer afford to worry about anything else.
He now had no retreat, only by utterly destroying Jeremy could he justify all his previous actions.
Kean planned to slander Jeremy by accusing him of collaborating with the masterminds behind the apocalypse game after eliminating him. His long-standing opposition to Jeremy was merely to prevent such a collaboration.
To achieve this goal, both Jeremy and his friends must be entirely eradicated.
"What should we do next? Has Jeremy hidden himself in that distant instance? If that's the case, we should act immediately."
Kean was already impatient, he wanted to find Jeremy as soon as possible and kill him with his own hands.
"Your guess is correct, but we can't directly enter the instance right now. I will bestow upon you all the skills I possess. Use the skills I give you to control some mechanical monsters."
"We will manipulate these mechanical monsters to enter the instance ahead of us. This way, we can discern what kind of traps Jeremy has prepared for us in secret."
"Once we have thoroughly investigated the depths of the instance, we will enter it ourselves. By then, Jeremy will be incapable of posing any threat to us, and we can swiftly eliminate him."
The White Tower was indeed renowned as a mastermind of the apocalypse game, known for its cunning intelligence.
Although Jeremy's previous actions had put the White Tower in a state of dilemma.
The White Tower wasted no time in devising a perfect counter-strategy.
Kean nodded solemnly, "In that case, give me your skills! I will immediately control the surrounding mechanical monsters."
The White Tower imparted its skill of manipulating mechanical monsters to Kean, who then dashed towards the nearest mechanical monsters at lightning speed.
Countless streams of High-Dimensional Data shot out in the direction Kean's eyes were fixed upon, and in almost an instant, a large number of mechanical monsters were transformed into mechanical puppets.
"Your skills are indeed incredibly powerful! Perhaps we can use them to combat Jeremy!"
Kean spoke after he had controlled several mechanical monsters.
