Chapter 389 No One Will Come to Save You
The
Son of the Sun
watched Jeremy's actions in confusion. He couldn't understand why Jeremy was aiming
Mortal Combat
at him. Although
Mortal Combat
could create a special space, within that space, Jeremy would still be unable to escape the grip of the quicksand.
Moreover, the
Son of the Sun
could channel his power directly into the quicksand, further amplifying its strength.
"You think your
King of Time and Space
ability poses any threat to me?" The
Son of the Sun
said coldly. "The power of the
Sun
can pierce through both time and space. Now
this
is true strength."
A faint smile curled at the corner of Jeremy's mouth.
"You really think I came to the
Endless Abyss Instance
without making more preparations? You honestly believe you can trap me so easily?" Jeremy's words had barely left his lips when a special space formed, trapping both him and the
Son of the Sun
Continue your adventure at empire
inside.
The
Son of the Sun
wasn't the least bit panicked. He had anticipated something like this. Moreover, he had already deduced that this situation posed no real threat to him.
"You're wasting your effort," the
Son of the Sun
sneered. "There is no way you can defeat me like this! Even in this special space, you can't escape the control of the quicksand."
Jeremy didn't refute the
Son of the Sun
's words. He simply replied, his tone indifferent, "You're right. There's no way for me to escape the situation I'm in using this method. But as long as I trap you, my companions will be able to take action."
The
Son of the Sun
paused, and a look of terror finally spread across his face. He understood now what he had overlooked.
Throughout the previous battle, Ritchie and Liam had appeared extremely weak. The
Son of the Sun
had dismissed them entirely. He had simply left the two of them for
The Person in the Mirror
to deal with.
But now, with Jeremy and the
Son of the Sun
trapped in the special space, Ritchie and Liam were free to act.
Outside the special space, Ritchie immediately used his shadow manipulation ability. The remaining
Persons in the Mirror
were swiftly cut down by this power.
Once they were slain, the
Persons in the Mirror
were converted into
Puppets
by Ritchie.
At this moment, Liam used one of his items to open a portal.
"We can enter the deepest part of the instance through this portal. Bonnie must be there! Let's move quickly!" Liam said as he stepped through the portal, with Ritchie following closely behind.
The portal didn't last long. The immense power of the
SunNôv(el)B\\jnn
quickly shattered it, but it wasn't enough to stop Ritchie and Liam.
When they emerged at the deepest part of the instance, the
Persons in the Mirror
surrounding Bonnie were thrown into a state of panic. These
Persons in the Mirror
were very weak. They were not combatants; their sole purpose here was to maintain the traps.
Without hesitation, Ritchie attacked the
Persons in the Mirror
, while Liam hurried over to Bonnie.
"Can you hear me? Can you wake up?" Liam urgently tried to rouse Bonnie.
However, his efforts were in vain. Under the influence of the
Sun
's power, Bonnie was trapped in an eternal sleep.
Liam had no choice but to take another item from his pocket. It was an alarm clock. As soon as he pulled it out, he shouted toward Ritchie.
"Get ready! We're about to hear a very loud noise!"
As soon as Liam activated the alarm clock, a deafening noise echoed through every corner of the
Endless Abyss Instance
.
Even Bonnie, who was in an eternal slumber, was greatly affected by the sound.
She frowned, struggling to open her eyes.
"What's going on? Why is there such a loud noise? Jeremy, where are you? Turn off the alarm!" Bonnie mumbled, her voice weak and blurry.
Naturally, her words couldn't be heard by anyone, as the noise from the alarm was overpowering.
However, Liam saw Bonnie's movements and quickly turned off the alarm.
"Jeremy isn't here! He's fighting somewhere else! We need to get out of here quickly! If we move too slowly,
Sun's
minions will definitely catch up!"
Liam said, pulling Bonnie along with him as they hurried out.
Bonnie was still in a state of confusion. She couldn't understand what was happening. Her memory was stuck at the moment when she was traveling with Jeremy! She had no knowledge of what had happened since then.
However, Bonnie trusted Liam deeply. She didn't think Liam would harm her. So, she followed Liam and Ritchie as they moved swiftly through the
Endless Abyss Instance
.
Meanwhile, within the special space, The Son of the Sun was filled with anxiety. He had learned that the
Persons in the Mirror
had been wiped out. Clearly, Bonnie had successfully been rescued.
Jeremy looked at The Son of the Sun with a smile.
"Panicking now won't help you! You can't escape the special space! You won't be able to support your subordinates. And I'll be free from the quicksand's control soon."
The Son of the Sun stretched out, trying to reach Jeremy.
The power of the quicksand in Jeremy's area was already dissipating. It wouldn't be long before Jeremy would be free from its grip.
Once that happened, The Son of the Sun would have no choice but to face Jeremy in a one-on-one showdown within the special space.
"Don't think your little scheme has worked! The great
Sun
will never allow you to succeed this easily! And I have other allies coming to my aid!"
The allies The Son of the Sun referred to, of course, were Kean.
Jeremy, however, wasn't concerned at all. He knew exactly what The Son of the Sun meant.
"But Kean could very well show up here. Do you really think he'll help you, though? If I'm not mistaken, your relationship with him isn't as good as you'd like to believe. You two must be rivals, right?"
Jeremy's words made The Son of the Sun's mood even worse. He couldn't understand how Jeremy had managed to figure out that his relationship with Kean wasn't good.
"I knew I was right. The look on your face says it all—what I said was true," Jeremy laughed, a triumphant grin spreading across his face.
"Kean is a very selfish person. He's incapable of true cooperation with anyone. His collaboration with you was only about gaining power. Now that you've failed, how could he possibly want to help you? He won't be coming to the
Endless Abyss Instance
. So, you might as well stop counting on him. All your hopes now rest on your great deity."
As Jeremy spoke, The Son of the Sun felt an increasing sense of threat. The power of the quicksand had completely dissipated, and Jeremy was finally free to move.
Meanwhile, Liam and Ritchie had successfully brought Bonnie to the exit of the
Endless Abyss Instance
.
"We've succeeded! Hurry up and come with us!" Liam contacted Jeremy, hoping he could join them and leave the instance as quickly as possible. Although most of the monsters inside the instance had been wiped out, Liam still had a nagging feeling that the longer they stayed, the greater the risk of encountering even more threats.
However, Jeremy didn't agree with Liam's proposal.
"You guys can leave without me. I still have a lot of things to take care of! At the very least, I have to take down The Son of the Sun!"
Jeremy didn't bother lowering his voice, so The Son of the Sun could hear every word clearly.
At that moment, Jeremy held
Mortal Combat
in his hand and looked at The Son of the Sun as if he were staring at a dead man.
The Son of the Sun felt the immense threat, but he wasn't about to give up so easily.
"You think defeating me will be that easy?" The Son of the Sun snarled. "Let me show you what true sunlight power looks like!"
With those words, The Son of the Sun unleashed all of his power.
In that instant, he transformed, his body glowing with a radiance that made him resemble the very sun itself.
However, both The Son of the Sun and Jeremy knew the truth: The Son of the Sun wasn't the real sun. In fact, the true
Sun
couldn't provide The Son of the Sun with any more power.
"Since you're ready, then let's settle this once and for all!"
Jeremy tightened his grip on
Mortal Combat
and immediately launched himself at The Son of the Sun.
Meanwhile, back at the military headquarters, Kean was gathering every weapon and item he could find.
He had received The Son of the Sun's distress signal, but he had no intention of rescuing him.
"If you're eliminated by Jeremy, I'll be the only one left that
The Sun
can count on. After this, I'll receive unimaginable power from
The Sun
," Kean muttered to himself, a smile creeping across his face.
