Chapter 286 The Courage to Burn One's Boats



Although Jeremy had not seen the two fragments of The Deluge of Data, he was acutely aware that the battle he was currently engaged in was a fight to the death.

The Mechanical Rampage Beast had already assembled two mechanical components, and he could not afford to let the enemy prolong the conflict any further.

If the Mechanical Rampage Beast were to assemble four mechanical components, Jeremy would stand no chance of defeating it.

Upon realizing the gravity of the situation, Jeremy immediately unleashed all of his trump cards.

First, he hurled the powerful scrolls he had prepared in advance.

These scrolls had been provided by Liam from the Special Circumstances Handling Bureau.

The two scrolls Jeremy cast could effectively disrupt the movements of monsters in the apocalypse game.

Although Jeremy was currently situated within the historical mists of the Tower of Exile, the monsters here also possessed characteristics akin to those found in the apocalypse game.

The moment the scrolls were deployed, the Mechanical Rampage Beast's speed of movement noticeably decreased.

Seizing this opportunity, Jeremy successfully created distance between himself and the Mechanical Rampage Beast.

He swiftly dashed back to Ritchie's side.

"What are you still doing here, dawdling? Hurry up and fight alongside me! Do you intend to let me face such a formidable Mechanical Rampage Beast all by myself?!"

At Jeremy's urging, Ritchie finally snapped back to reality.

With a hint of apology in his tone, Ritchie replied,

"I sincerely apologize, I was taken aback by what just transpired. I will quickly regain my composure and join the battle."

Jeremy nodded in acknowledgment but did not elaborate further.

He was acutely aware that they were currently engulfed in the throes of combat.

Thus, they simply could not afford to waste precious time on excessive conversation.

Just as Jeremy and Ritchie had finished readjusting their combat readiness, the Mechanical Rampage Beast reappeared before them.

At this moment, the Mechanical Rampage Beast had assembled its third mechanical component.

Upon witnessing this, Jeremy's expression darkened even further.

"Regardless of how you may perceive the situation, I believe this battle is a fight to the death for us. We must summon the courage to burn our boats!"

When Jeremy uttered these words, his tone was resolutely firm. Although Ritchie had spent a considerable amount of time with Jeremy, this was the first occasion he had ever heard such a statement from him.

Ritchie nodded gravely in acknowledgment.

"Rest assured, I am fully aware that this battle is crucial for us! I will undoubtedly exert all my power to assist you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Mechanical Rampage Beast charged toward Jeremy and Ritchie with astonishing speed.

Jeremy had no intention of evading, instead, he gripped the Longsword of the Undying tightly in both hands and fixed his gaze on the Mechanical Rampage Beast.

It seemed that Jeremy was resolved to confront the Mechanical Rampage Beast head-on using his own strength.

This course of action left Ritchie utterly astonished.

He believed that engaging in direct combat with the Mechanical Rampage Beast was a fool's errand, one that could not possibly end in victory.

However, Ritchie had no time to persuade Jeremy otherwise, he could only retreat into the nearby shadows.

At the instant the fragment of The Deluge of Data shattered, a vast amount of High-Dimensional Data surged forth, diffusing into the surrounding area.

Jeremy withdrew a data storage device from his pocket.

All of the High-Dimensional Data surged toward the data storage device in an instant.

Simultaneously, Jeremy gathered the High-Dimensional Data from the storage device into his own body.

As the High-Dimensional Data coalesced, a torrent of anomalous data flooded Jeremy's mind.

This influx of irregular data severely impacted Jeremy's consciousness.

Nevertheless, Jeremy managed to maintain control over his situation through sheer willpower.

At that moment, the Mechanical Rampage Beast finally approached Jeremy.

With its crimson eyes fixated on him, the Mechanical Rampage Beast extended its lethal appendage, intent on dispatching Jeremy with a single strike.

Faced with the impending attack of the Mechanical Rampage Beast, Jeremy made no effort to defend himself.

Instead, he smiled and opened his arms wide.

"Since you are so eager to kill me, I shall grant you an opportunity!"

Under Jeremy's influence, the High-Dimensional Data he possessed collided directly with the Mechanical Rampage Beast.

A vast amount of High-Dimensional Data intertwined Jeremy's consciousness with that of the Mechanical Rampage Beast.

In that moment, Jeremy gained insight into all of the Mechanical Rampage Beast's thoughts, and the Mechanical Rampage Beast, in turn, perceived all of Jeremy's intentions.

Both Jeremy and the Mechanical Rampage Beast instantly comprehended each other's strategies.

Consequently, they both swiftly adopted countermeasures.

The Mechanical Rampage Beast abruptly shattered its own claws, hoping to sever the connection to Jeremy's High-Dimensional Data in this manner.

In stark contrast, Jeremy took a different approach, violently swinging the Longsword of the Undying towards himself.

Jeremy immediately felt a surge of excruciating pain, and the Mechanical Rampage Beast, linked to him, experienced that same intense agony.

In that fleeting moment, Jeremy finally had the opportunity to eradicate the Mechanical Rampage Beast once and for all.

He pressed the data storage device against the head of the Mechanical Rampage Beast.

Then, he raised the Longsword of the Undying and aimed it at the data storage device.

As the Longsword of the Undying shattered the data storage device, Jeremy directed the remaining High-Dimensional Data within it to invade the Mechanical Rampage Beast's computational core.

Under the relentless assault of excruciating pain and a torrent of High-Dimensional Data, the computational core of the Mechanical Rampage Beast ultimately collapsed.

Seizing this opportunity, Jeremy completely obliterated the Mechanical Rampage Beast.

When Ritchie arrived at the battlefield, he could only see the remnants of the Mechanical Rampage Beast scattered across the ground in countless fragments.

On the other side, Jeremy lay pale and breathless, gasping for air.

Ritchie hurried to Jeremy's side, exclaiming, "Are you alright? I have some healing potions with me! You need to consume them immediately!"

Ritchie could tell that Jeremy was extremely weak, but he was unaware of the severity of Jeremy's injuries.

Despite his ashen complexion, Jeremy responded in a firm tone,

"I have already taken some healing potions, I will be fine! You need to quickly destroy the Mechanical Rampage Beast's data core completely! We cannot allow it to resurrect again! If it revives, I won't be able to defeat it a second time!"
