End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

Just as Jeremy and his companions were about to enter The Lost Realm instance, Kean was in a villa on the outskirts of the capital, engaged in a heated argument with The Son of the Sun.

"Don't forget, you promised me that you would help eliminate all the human defenses around the capital!" The Son of the Sun said to Kean in an extremely angry tone. "If you've already agreed to help, why are you backing out now? Why are you heading to Moonlight City? Do you really believe you have the strength to defeat Jeremy and his allies?"

The Son of the Sun was furious because Kean had suddenly retracted his previous commitment. Earlier that day, Kean had sent a message to The Son of the Sun, informing him that he was about to head to Moonlight City. Kean had come across a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate Jeremy.

Upon receiving this news, The Son of the Sun rushed to the villa where Kean was staying. He believed he had to stop Kean at all costs.

Faced with The Son of the Sun's questions, Kean's expression remained unchanged. He continued to organize his gear right in front of him. At this moment, Kean had selected all the equipment he owned, planning to take the most useful items with him to fight against Jeremy.

Kean's actions left The Son of the Sun extremely displeased.

The expression on The Son of the Sun's face grew very serious. He lowered his voice and slowly asked Kean, "Are you even listening to me? Or do you think you have enough strength to stand against me?"

At this, Kean finally lifted his head to look at The Son of the Sun. His expression was icy cold. Though he knew he didn't need The Son of the Sun's help, Kean would not easily allow himself to be threatened.

"I remember that we're supposed to be partners. If that's the case, we should certainly look after each other's core interests. I entered this partnership to gain greater power, and my ultimate goal in gaining that power is to defeat Jeremy. Now that I finally have an opportunity to take him down, do you think I would let it slip away so easily?

And do you really think I'm someone who would accept your threats?"

Kean's words hung heavily in the air, creating a tense atmosphere in the room. The Son of the Sun's gaze turned cold as well. He stared into Kean's eyes, and Kean held his gaze just as firmly. Neither of them blinked, both hoping to emerge victorious in this silent battle of wills.

After a moment, The Son of the Sun's expression shifted slightly. "Of course, I'm willing to help you deal with Jeremy! But do you really think the information you've received is reliable? Could it be that Jeremy has set a trap for you on purpose?"

The Son of the Sun's words caused Kean to waver just a bit.

At first, Kean himself was also skeptical about the sudden news he had received. However, the informant within Moonlight City had conveyed all the intelligence to him. This information convinced Kean that all the forces in Moonlight City were currently tied up with The Lost Realm instance. He saw a perfect opportunity to trouble Jeremy's family and friends.

If Jeremy had indeed entered The Lost Realm instance, Kean even believed he could collaborate with the monsters inside the instance.

"I don't think there's a deliberate trap set for me. But I can't be sure whether Jeremy might use The Lost Realm instance to strike against me," Kean said, his tone filled with hesitation. He was aware that his strength did not match Jeremy's, and during their previous encounters, he felt that Jeremy outsmarted him as well.

In this situation, Kean knew he had to remain cautious in any actions he took.

The Son of the Sun's expression became more relaxed. He felt that his next words could persuade Kean. "These are just your speculations. The things you can be certain about are very few. So, for your own safety, I believe you shouldn't act immediately.

Stay here in the capital; we will soon eliminate all the human defenses around the city. In no time, we will be free to deal with Jeremy. Why are you in such a rush? I thought you were supposed to be a very cautious person."

The Son of the Sun's words made Kean reflect on his previous decisions, and he began to feel that perhaps his actions had indeed been somewhat reckless.

Kean placed his organized equipment on the ground. He let out a deep sigh and said, "I'm just so desperate to defeat Jeremy! All my current struggles are caused by him! My family no longer values me because they believe my talent is lacking. My fiancée has grown cold towards me because she thinks I instigated the conflict with Jeremy on purpose. She even believes I should apologize to him.

Do you think I can reconcile with Jeremy under these circumstances? Absolutely not! I will seize any opportunity to strike at him!"

Kean's words seemed to be directed at himself, but they were also meant for The Son of the Sun to hear. The Son of the Sun quickly responded, "I completely understand you! That's why I'm not just here to stop your actions. I also bring you a brand-new plan! If you follow my plan, Jeremy will definitely pay a heavy price."

The Son of the Sun's words piqued Kean's curiosity.

The Son of the Sun pulled out a scroll. The scroll was covered in a multitude of intricate patterns. At the center of the scroll, a sun symbol radiated light and heat outward.

Upon seeing the scroll, Kean looked at The Son of the Sun with a hint of confusion and asked, "This scroll doesn't seem to possess any significant power to me. What do you mean by showing it to me? Are you saying that this scroll is a reward for me?"

The Son of the Sun shook his head. "The power this scroll currently displays might not seem very strong, but that doesn't mean the power it contains is weak. Once this scroll is placed within an instance that harnesses solar power, it can unleash incredibly potent abilities. This scroll is the key to defeating Jeremy.

Regardless of what happens, Jeremy will be occupied in The Lost Realm instance for a while. During this time, we can eliminate the human defenses surrounding the capital. Additionally, we can deliberately set up an instance infused with solar power near Moonlight City.

Once all the preparations are complete, you can use the solar-powered instance to trap Jeremy. In that trap, you can afford to wait and let him exhaust himself."

The Son of the Sun laid out a very cunning plan. After thinking it over carefully for a moment, Kean suddenly laughed. "It seems you have indeed prepared a flawless plan. However, I believe I can't execute this plan alone, so you will need to assist me throughout the process."

Although Kean believed that The Son of the Sun's plan was likely to succeed, he wanted to ensure everything was foolproof. Therefore, he insisted that The Son of the Sun participate in the decisive battle between him and Jeremy.

The Son of the Sun smiled and nodded. "Of course! I will definitely assist you in your showdown with Jeremy! And not only will I provide help, but others from The Person in the Mirror will support you as well. There's no way Jeremy will defeat you! If he does, then our plan, along with the revival of the great deity, will be utterly ruined, and I will not allow that to happen!"

The Son of the Sun's response left Kean very satisfied. The two of them proceeded to devise a cunning plan against Jeremy.

Unbeknownst to Kean and The Son of the Sun, Jeremy was completely unaware of their scheme. At that moment, Jeremy was still at the entrance of The Lost Realm instance. He and the others had been at the entrance for quite some time, yet they had not entered the instance. This was because they encountered a peculiar situation—the entrance to the instance had suddenly vanished.

Both General Howard's aide and Jeremy wore expressions of astonishment. After all, they had been there just a day prior. To figure out what had happened, General Howard called all the guards stationed around the instance entrance to gather.

"Why has the entrance to the instance suddenly disappeared? Aren't you supposed to be guarding this place?! Did you not notice anything unusual?!" General Howard shouted at the guards with anger.

The guards looked confused, mixed with a hint of grievance on their faces. They felt they had not made any mistakes; however, the entrance to the instance was indeed gone. They had no idea how to explain it, as the entrance had seemingly vanished without a trace. They hadn't even had time to react before it disappeared, making it impossible for them to inform others to address the situation.
