Inside the tunnel leading to the top of the Tower of Exile, Jeremy and his companions could feel the intense fluctuations of High-Dimensional Data.

"It seems we've thoroughly enraged [the White Tower]! His fury has spread through the High-Dimensional Data, reaching every corner of the Tower of Exile. There must be a swarm of mechanical monsters behind us. We can't afford to slow down; in fact, we need to pick up the pace," Jeremy urged.
Under his command, Ritchie and the God of War gritted their teeth and pushed themselves to keep up with Jeremy's increasing speed.
After about fifteen minutes of sprinting through the tunnel, the group finally reached its end. There, they were met with another large door. However, unlike the previous door, this one had no visible controller, which meant it couldn't be opened from inside the tunnel.
This time, Jeremy didn't hesitate. Gathering all of his strength, he prepared to forcefully break through the door using his own power.
Ritchie and the God of War were both slightly surprised by Jeremy's decision. But after the initial shock, the God of War quickly agreed with his approach.
"He should've done this from the start! If he hadn't hesitated earlier, we'd be in a much better situation by now," the God of War muttered as he increased his speed, rushing to Jeremy's side.
Once there, the God of War made the decision to help Jeremy. Together, they focused their strength on smashing through the door at the end of the tunnel.
At the same time, the powerful subordinates of [the White Tower], who had finally caught up, arrived at the lower end of the tunnel. Upon witnessing Jeremy and the God of War's actions, their faces filled with shock.
"How dare they?! Don't they know the consequences of doing this?!" Mechanical Tutor exclaimed in disbelief.
The Mechanical Empress, however, remained calm. She had already understood why Jeremy and the God of War were acting this way.
"They plan to rely on their own strength to force open the door at the end of the tunnel. Though this might severely injure them, it's the fastest way through. It seems they have no intention of wasting time with us," she said with a cool, calculated tone.
No sooner had the words left her mouth than a thunderous noise echoed from the end of the tunnel.
Suddenly, a wave of High-Dimensional Data surged toward the Mechanical Empress and the Mechanical Tutor. Alongside them were several other powerful mechanical monsters at this end of the tunnel. However, just like the Empress, none of them dared to approach any further.
As [the White Tower] manifested before them, Jeremy felt the temperature inside his pocket rising rapidly. Alarmed, he quickly checked the items in his pocket and found that the special map was burning intensely.
In that instant, a realization hit him. Jeremy was certain that the special map and [the White Tower] were deeply connected. Without a moment's hesitation, he pulled out the special map.
The second the map was exposed, it unfurled at lightning speed.
A massive amount of High-Dimensional Data was absorbed into the special map. Then, all the regions of the map lit up, revealing its true nature—this was no ordinary map, but rather the Map of All Things and Stars, a map that recorded countless worlds. This revelation, transmitted in the form of High-Dimensional Data, flooded the minds of everyone present on the upper level of the Tower of Exile.
Both the God of War and Ritchie were utterly shocked by the discovery. They had never imagined that the map Jeremy had been carrying all along was the legendary Map of All Things and Stars.
[The White Tower], of course, instantly focused on the map as well. Seizing the moment while Jeremy and the others were momentarily stunned, [the White Tower] launched a direct attack on Jeremy.
The overwhelming surge of High-Dimensional Data nearly took on a physical form, flooding the entire upper level of the Tower of Exile. Jeremy could feel the space around him rapidly compressing. Everything was happening so quickly that he had no time to react. Even if he wanted to activate his talent as *The King of Time and Space*, it was already too late.
In a flash, the Map of All Things and Stars flew out of Jeremy's hands. [The White Tower] immediately absorbed the map, converting it into High-Dimensional Data, merging it with the vast amounts of data already under his control.
"You truly possessed the Map of All Things and Stars. Although your intrusion has enraged me, for bringing me this map, I will grant you a quicker death," [the White Tower]'s voice echoed in Jeremy's mind.
At that moment, Jeremy was utterly powerless. He felt as though his soul was being completely ripped apart. The vast amount of High-Dimensional Data seemed to destroy every neuron in his brain, leaving him unable to respond or resist.
Although Ritchie and the God of War weren't directly attacked, their situation was far from ideal.
Ritchie, having avoided a direct assault, still managed to retreat into the shadows. However, hiding in the shadows offered him no real protection. In fact, it only made it easier for the High-Dimensional Data embedded in the shadows to infiltrate and attack him.
The God of War's condition was even worse than Ritchie's. Not only had he failed to recover his lost memories, but the few memories he had retained were now being stripped away by the overwhelming force of High-Dimensional Data.
[The White Tower] swiftly gained the upper hand. Without resorting to any complex strategies, his immense power alone was enough to crush Jeremy and his companions with ease.
Satisfied with how things were progressing, [The White Tower] prepared to eliminate Jeremy once and for all. But just as he was about to deliver the final blow, he sensed the presence of someone behind him—a being whose power was nearly equal to his own.
