NOVEL WEB Chapter 474: The No-Exit Chaos
The timely arrival of Jeremy and the Goddess of Life brought a sense of relief to the World and the Class Change Goddess Janna.
Their gazes were fixed on the collapsing barrier, and beyond its ruins, the four remaining Apocalypse Game planners were already preparing for the final battle.
The pressure on everyone was immense.
Although Jeremy had previously slain several Apocalypse Game planners, the number of remaining planners was still considerable, and the most powerful one, Fool, had yet to make a move.
Thus, Jeremy and his companions could not afford to relax their guard.
For the surviving Apocalypse Game planners, the pressure was equally overwhelming.
They had just learned that both the Hanged Man and Death were already dead.
So, aside from the four of them, only Fool, the Star, and the Emperor remained.
But at this point, there was no turning back.
As the barrier collapsed, both sides immediately plunged into battle.
The World naturally chose to engage the Magician in a life-or-death duel.
Their enmity was long-standing, and in this battle for survival, neither side would entertain the idea of facing anyone but their sworn rival.
The battle was evenly matched, with neither side able to gain the upper hand or push the other back quickly.
Meanwhile, the Goddess of Life and the Class Change Goddess Janna teamed up to face the Lovers.
The Goddess of Life manipulated the power of life itself to disrupt the source of the Lovers' strength, while the Class Change Goddess Janna used her own powers to launch direct attacks.
Despite facing two formidable opponents, the Lovers didn't appear to be under much pressure.
After all, the Goddess of Life had not fully absorbed the divinity of the Moon, and the Class Change Goddess Janna, while powerful, wasn't at her peak strength.
Jeremy, on the other hand, chose to confront both the Empress and the Pope at the same time.
The Empress summoned Valkyries, who were continuously transformed into High-Dimensional Data. Jeremy used this data to counter the various strange spells that the Pope unleashed.
Both the Empress and the Pope were feeling tremendous pressure in their battle against Jeremy.
As Jeremy fought, he simultaneously consumed the divinity of the White Tower, which greatly enhanced his control over High-Dimensional Data.
Moreover, Jeremy was also wielding the divine essences of both the Hanged Man and Death.
With the divinities of these two powerful beings in his hands, Jeremy's power and abilities were growing stronger by the moment.
[Death]'s divine essence resurrected [Empress]'s Valkyries, and these Valkyries, upon being converted into undead, were immediately controlled by Jeremy.
Meanwhile, [Empress] was also being bombarded by the powerful sun-based attacks.
Before long, both [Empress] and [Pope] could no longer hold out.
They attempted to seek help from others, but it seemed the other apocalypse game planners were already trapped.
"No one can help you now! You'll just have to obediently be wiped out by me! You must pay the price for your crimes!"
Jeremy coldly spoke to [Empress] and [Pope].
Of course, the two apocalypse game planners weren't going to give up that easily—they kept fighting with all their might.
However, Jeremy's advantage grew with every passing moment.
Just as Jeremy was about to land the final blow on [Empress], a stern voice suddenly rang out from the distance.
"As your Emperor, I command you to cease your attacks immediately!"
For a brief moment, Jeremy felt compelled to stop his assault.
But that moment passed quickly, and Jeremy snapped back to reality. He realized he had been mentally influenced.
He turned his attention to the source of the voice, and sure enough, he saw a figure sitting on a throne in the distance, with three heads and six arms.
"You must be [Emperor], right? You've finally shown yourself. In that case, I'll take you all down in one go!"
[Emperor]'s intervention only served to delay Jeremy for a moment.
Without wasting any more time, Jeremy resumed his attack on [Empress] and [Pope].
During the battle, the sky suddenly filled with a multitude of meteors, all heading straight for Jeremy and his companions.
[Star] also appeared on the battlefield.
Among the remaining apocalypse game planners, only [Fool] had not personally appeared yet.
Faced with the combined onslaught of four apocalypse game planners, Jeremy felt his advantage grow larger and larger.
Throughout the battle, he fully absorbed [The White Tower]'s divine essence.
This meant that he could now wield both the power of the sun and High-Dimensional Data simultaneously. With the talent of The King of Time and Space, he had effectively become invincible.
The four apocalypse game planners could only hope to delay the inevitable.
"Why do you insist on continuing to fight? All you're doing now is stalling for time. As soon as I kill one of you, the rest will be no match for me."
Jeremy hoped to force one of the apocalypse game planners to flee. If even one of them escaped, Jeremy could swiftly eliminate the others.
[Fool] still hadn't appeared, which worried Jeremy greatly.
If [Fool]'s power was as immense as he suspected, the moment [Fool] joined the battlefield, Jeremy and his allies would be quickly overwhelmed.
However, Jeremy's plan didn't succeed. So, he could only continue to play it safe, gradually increasing his advantage. After all, with time, his edge would grow more and more significant.
Outside the battlefield, [Fool] was anxiously monitoring the situation.
[Fool] had longed to intervene directly, but the power [Fool] possessed at the moment was still insufficient. [Fool] needed to absorb more power to secure victory.
"You all must hold on! As long as you can buy me enough time, I will gain the power to completely destroy Jeremy and his team."
[Fool]'s voice reached the ears of all the apocalypse game planners.
However, to them, the plan [Fool] spoke of was nothing more than a hopeless dream.
During the battle, Jeremy finally seized a critical mistake made by [Pope].
He immediately used [The Hanged Man]'s divine essence to successfully corrupt [Pope].
In that instant, [Pope] lost the majority of their strength. Though [Pope] wasn't killed, they were unable to continue fighting.
The balance of power shattered instantly.
[Empress], [Emperor], and [Star] were now gripped by intense panic.
The three apocalypse game planners were seriously considering fleeing.
But at this point, Jeremy would not let them escape. After all, he already had victory within his grasp. Allowing them to flee now would only lead to unexpected complications.
With a swift movement, Jeremy used High-Dimensional Data to utterly obliterate [Star] in the sky.
A badge adorned with Star fell from the heavens—that was [Star]'s divine essence.
The moment Jeremy obtained [Star]'s divine essence, he immediately activated it, summoning a barrage of meteors.
These meteors blocked the escape route of the remaining two apocalypse game planners.
Taking advantage of the moment, Jeremy activated his The King of Time and Space talent. He quickly arrived at [Emperor]'s side.
"You're no longer my Emperor. You're about to lose everything!"
The three-headed, six-armed figure displayed an expression of extreme fear.
[Emperor] was ultimately terrified of death.
But no matter how much he feared it, he couldn't avoid the inevitable fate of being killed.
A three-headed, six-armed puppet appeared in Jeremy's hand. This was [Emperor]'s divine essence.
"Now there's only [Empress] left, still running away! You can't escape for much longer!" Jeremy said coldly, watching the fleeing figure.
[Empress] naturally didn't change her course upon hearing these words.
She was desperate to return to [Fool]'s side. Only there could she ensure her safety.
However, no matter how fast [Empress] tried to move, she could never outpace Jeremy, who possessed the The King of Time and Space talent.
So, it didn't take long for Jeremy to catch up.
"I told you, you can't escape!" Jeremy said with a cold smile.
At that moment, Jeremy was ready to finish her off.
But suddenly, his expression changed, and he quickly retreated a considerable distance.
[Empress] was unsure of why this happened, but in the next moment, she felt a powerful and familiar force.
"Great [Fool]! You've finally appeared!"
A massive shadow loomed before [Empress], with twisted, writhing tentacles continuously emerging from it.
"You've really disappointed me. You can't even trap your enemies. Why should I spare you any longer?"
[Fool]'s voice echoed in the ears of every apocalypse game planner.
All the planners were left speechless. But they didn't need to say anything anymore.
The nearest planner, [Empress], was immediately consumed by the dark mist. [Empress]'s divine essence was also devoured by [Fool].
The severely corrupted [Pope] was the next victim. [Pope]'s divine essence took the form of an illusory book, and it immediately flew toward [Fool].
[Lovers], in a panicked rush, tried to escape, but in the confusion, they ran straight into [Fool].
[Fool] successfully devoured [Lovers]'s divine essence.
At this moment, [Magician] was deeply shocked. They couldn't understand why [Fool] would consume them all.
"[Fool]! Why are you doing this?! Aren't we fighting for you?!"
