BXBX NOVEL Chapter 192: Suddenly Turning Against Each Other
At this moment, the Dark Core had absorbed a substantial amount of divine power from the White Tower. Surrounding the Dark Core was a thick, layered shroud of black mist.
The dense black mist not only hindered the movements of those nearby but also obscured their senses.
Kean was immediately lost within the swirling darkness. On the other side of the black mist, Jeremy's situation was far from favorable as well.
Although Jeremy was not directly affected by the Dark Core.
His senses were still somewhat impaired. He could no longer discern the exact locations of Kean and the White Tower.
This made Jeremy feel a bit anxious.
"I must quickly pinpoint their positions! Only then can I defeat them!"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Jeremy decided to utilize the High-Dimensional Data at his disposal.
Using High-Dimensional Data in front of the White Tower was an exceedingly perilous endeavor, yet Jeremy found himself with no other options.
As Jeremy's High-Dimensional Data began to spread, he gradually started to detect the position of the White Tower.
However, the current state of the White Tower was beyond Jeremy's expectations.
The divine power that the White Tower possessed was rapidly diminishing. Yet, not all of this divine energy was being absorbed by the Dark Core.
A significant portion of the divine power was converging onto Kean.
This resulted in a swift amplification of Kean's strength.
Owing to this rapid surge in power, Kean successfully broke through the dense black mist surrounding the Dark Core.
But as Kean reached the vicinity of the White Tower, a voice all too familiar to him echoed in his mind.
That voice belonged to the Person in the Mirror, with whom Kean had previously collaborated.
"You should not offer him any assistance, if you do, we will plunge into an abyss from which there is no return."
The Person in the Mirror's aged and raspy voice not only shocked Kean but also heightened his sense of caution.
Though Kean ceased advancing toward the direction of the White Tower, he had not abandoned the idea of rescuing it.
Kean merely wished to listen to what the Person in the Mirror intended to convey.
"What do you mean by that? When we collaborated, I made it clear that my goal was to completely annihilate Jeremy. Right now, only with the power of the White Tower can I achieve that.
If you're telling me not to save the White Tower, aren't you essentially asking me to forgo my long-held objective?"
No sooner had Kean voiced his question than the Person in the Mirror's voice resounded in his mind once more.
"I am well aware that your goal is to eradicate Jeremy. But why do you insist on relying on the White Tower to willingly transfer its power to you? Why can't you simply seize all the power it possesses directly?"
The raspy words of the Person in the Mirror stunned Kean into silence.
However, Kean did not hesitate for long.
For he quickly realized that all the divine power he had absorbed earlier had originated from the White Tower.
This realization meant that perhaps he truly had a way to seize the power of a deity, just as the Person in the Mirror suggested.
If such a plan could indeed succeed, Kean's strength would not only surpass Jeremy's. He might even ascend to a level akin to that of a deity.
"Can your plan truly succeed? You had better not deceive me now. If you deceive me, I will have no opportunity to collaborate with you again."
In reality, Kean was already quite tempted.
However, before taking concrete action, Kean felt it was imperative to seek final confirmation.
The Person in the Mirror responded bluntly, "My companions and I have already entered the instance. With our assistance, you will undoubtedly be able to seize all the power the White Tower possesses.
You need only follow our instructions to achieve this goal. If you choose to decline, then my companions and I will depart immediately."
Kean, without any hesitation, responded straightforwardly.
"Hurry up and give your instructions! I will coordinate with your actions!"
As Kean spoke these words, his eyes were resolutely fixed on the direction of the White Tower and the Dark Core.
"What you need to do next is quite simple: cooperate with Jeremy to annihilate the White Tower! Once the White Tower is successfully destroyed, we will have a way to channel all its power into you.
With such immense divine power, you will then be able to effortlessly eliminate Jeremy and his allies."
The Person in the Mirror laid out the specific plan to Kean.
At this moment, Kean still harbored some doubts. However, after everything that had transpired, he would rather collaborate with the Person in the Mirror than with the White Tower.
After all, Kean had no way of ascertaining whether the White Tower would once again transform him into a Puppet during their subsequent cooperation.
Resolute in his decision, Kean raised his weapon and struck heavily in the direction of the White Tower and the Dark Core.
Kean's actions left both the White Tower and Jeremy utterly astonished.
The White Tower's piercing voice echoed directly within Kean's mind.
"What on earth are you doing?! Have you completely lost your mind?! Jeremy is our enemy, why are you attacking me?!"
The White Tower's sharp voice was not only a question directed at Kean but also an attempt to halt his actions.
However, the White Tower's strategy proved to be utterly ineffective.
Kean's weapon landed heavily on the already somewhat ethereal figure of the White Tower, dealing significant damage to the Dark Core as well.
"I should have known better than to collaborate with you humans! You are all ungrateful and despicable scoundrels!"
Accompanied by the unwilling wails of the White Tower, its ethereal form vanished completely.
All the divine power possessed by the White Tower converged into Kean's body.
Under Jeremy's watchful eyes, Kean's strength surged rapidly.
Even the divine power of the Dark Core was absorbed by Kean into his own body.
What had just transpired was beyond anyone's anticipation, Jeremy, in particular, could not fathom that the two enemies who had been working together against him would suddenly turn on each other.
Kean had astonishingly vanquished the White Tower right in front of Jeremy.
Although Jeremy knew that what had been destroyed was merely a portion of the White Tower's power in the physical world, he understood that the White Tower's subsequent actions would be severely hampered.
Suffering such a significant blow in the physical world meant that the White Tower had also been gravely injured in its own divine realm.
Although deeply shocked by the recent events, Jeremy swiftly regained his composure.
Jeremy was acutely aware that Kean's power had significantly increased compared to before.
Thus, withstanding Kean's assault would now be far more challenging.
Jeremy's eyes were locked onto Kean, he had to keep track of Kean's every move. This was crucial to ensure that he wouldn't be swiftly eliminated in the ensuing battle.
Kean's gaze was also fixed intently on Jeremy.
The two stood in a tense standoff for what felt like an eternity, but was actually just several seconds.
Just as Jeremy was contemplating whether he should seize the initiative and launch an attack, Kean's expression suddenly turned ethereal.
Within a mere second or two, Kean vanished without a trace.
As Kean vanished, The Person in the Mirror, who had been obstructing Howard and Bonnie, also disappeared without a trace.
Confronted with Kean's sudden disappearance, Jeremy remained exceedingly cautious, moving forward slowly.
Deep down, Jeremy was convinced that Kean hadn't truly left but was lurking in the shadows of the instance, poised to launch a surprise attack.
After Jeremy had cautiously advanced for a while, Ritchie's voice abruptly shattered the eerie silence surrounding him.
"Where did that scoundrel Kean go? I clearly saw him enter this room with a spectral figure earlier."
Ritchie spoke while emerging from the shadows.
Ritchie's appearance caused Jeremy to experience a mix of slight disappointment and profound relief.
Ritchie's safe arrival indicated that Kean had indeed departed from the instance.
"I don't know, he was just here." Jeremy responded calmly.
Ritchie scanned the surroundings meticulously.
At that moment, other than the ever-rotating Dark Core, there was nothing else in Jeremy's vicinity. All the traps Jeremy had previously set up had been obliterated by the White Tower.
"Did you actually manage to eliminate both Kean and the spectral figure he brought along? Have you grown so powerful already?!"
Ritchie asked Jeremy in disbelief, his eyes widening considerably. Clearly, Jeremy's formidable strength had left Ritchie utterly astonished.
Jeremy remained silent, he merely stared at the still-spinning Dark Core.
