Chapter 209: Chaos in the Awakening Ceremony
"Are you certain that you are adequately prepared? If you are confident in your readiness, the awakening ceremony can commence at any moment."
Jeremy nodded resolutely.
"I have been prepared for a long time! My awakening ceremony will undoubtedly succeed."
Upon receiving such a definitive answer, the class change goddess Janna nodded in acknowledgment.
"Since you possess sufficient confidence, that is reassuring! I can initiate the awakening ceremony for you immediately. However, during the course of the ceremony, I will be unable to provide any assistance.
You must rely solely on your own mental fortitude to withstand the psychic impact of the awakening gemstone\'s power.
Moreover, throughout the awakening process, you cannot allow any interruptions, regardless of the circumstances."
"If the awakening ceremony is interrupted midway, you will be subject to a backlash from the power of the awakening gemstone. At that point, no one will be able to save you."
The class change goddess Janna reiterated the critical precautions to Jeremy.
Jeremy took careful note of all the guidelines provided.
"I understand. I am indeed ready. If you are all prepared as well, then let us begin the awakening without delay."
The class change goddess Janna cast a glance at the entity known as the World.
The ethereal figure of the World gradually solidified, signifying that its true essence had entered the space occupied by the class change goddess Janna.
"I will ensure your safety throughout the awakening process.
However, be advised that things will undoubtedly become quite tumultuous during the ceremony. Thus, you must not allow yourself to be swayed by the actions of others, no matter how chaotic the awakening ceremony becomes, you must remain composed and respond calmly."
After the World\'s essence manifested, it specifically reminded Jeremy of this important point.
"I understand. I have great trust in all of you, and I believe you will ensure my safety."
The World nodded with a smile, affirming his confidence.
"The awakening ceremony may now commence!"
The World spoke softly to the class change goddess Janna.
Immediately, the class change goddess Janna adopted a solemn expression, and at that moment, a powerful aura of divine energy surrounded her.
"Jeremy, you have now reached level 50, and you may begin your awakening. Are you certain that you wish to awaken at this very moment?"
The words spoken by the class change goddess Janna were ethereal in nature.
This indicated that her utterance was imbued with formidable divine power.
Her question served as the key to initiating the awakening ceremony.
Without hesitation, Jeremy responded, "I wish to awaken immediately."
The instant Jeremy finished his declaration, the vast amounts of divine energy encircling the class change goddess Janna surged toward him at an astonishing speed.
Subsequently, all of this divine energy was absorbed by the awakening gemstone.
Once the awakening gemstone had absorbed sufficient divine power, it transformed into a brilliant blue-green radiance that enveloped Jeremy completely.
Beneath the embrace of this blue-green light, Jeremy could sense an endless torrent of power flooding into his mind.
"It is now time for you to select the talent you wish to awaken. As you are the first individual to undergo this awakening, you have the unique opportunity to choose from five exceptionally rare talents."
The voice of the class change goddess Janna permeated through the blue-green light.
Without a moment\'s hesitation, Jeremy chose the talent he had long desired, the one that was most suitable for him: The King of Time and Space.
"I choose the talent The King of Time and Space!"
The instant Jeremy made his selection, the awakening gemstone underwent a corresponding transformation.
The power contained within the awakening gemstone, along with the knowledge imparted to Jeremy, shifted to encompass abilities and insights related to The King of Time and Space.
Jeremy could feel his mastery over space and time becoming significantly more potent.
As Jeremy\'s awakening ceremony commenced, all of his enemies immediately became aware of it.
Kean, who was currently engaged in his own awakening instance, received the prompt from The Person in the Mirror.
"Jeremy\'s awakening ceremony has commenced, we must now interfere with his process. This also means that we can no longer assist you, you must complete the awakening instance on your own."
Upon hearing these words from The Person in the Mirror, a look of urgency washed over Kean\'s face.
"You need not concern yourselves with me, hurry and stop Jeremy\'s actions!"
Kean was absolutely determined not to allow Jeremy to easily become the first individual to awaken.
Although The Person in the Mirror had lost some of their previous formidable power, they still possessed the legacy of divine power from the Sun.
This implied that The Person in the Mirror could still disrupt the class change goddess Janna at critical moments.
A multitude of The Person in the Mirror gathered together, continuously reciting the revered names of the Sun. The power of the Sun converged, forming a radiant orb within the mirror that illuminated everything around it.
As Jeremy underwent his awakening ceremony, the class change goddess Janna and The World stood ready for battle.
"Why has no one yet come to thwart Jeremy? Is it possible that our preparations have been so thorough that our enemies have abandoned their plans to stop us?"
The class change goddess Janna appeared somewhat bewildered.
For after Jeremy\'s awakening ceremony commenced, it seemed that no other enemies had materialized.
However, The World, standing beside the class change goddess Janna, was far from relaxed.
The World remained vigilantly attentive, scanning the surroundings for any signs of disturbance.
"I have not detected any energy fluctuations. Have you sensed any energy disturbances?"
The class change goddess Janna inquired once more of The World.
The World also displayed a hint of confusion, as he too had not perceived any energy fluctuations in the vicinity.
"I have not felt any energy fluctuations either, perhaps our enemies truly intend to refrain from interfering with Jeremy\'s awakening."
No sooner had The World uttered these words than he felt a sudden surge of intense energy in the surrounding area.
In an instant, a dazzling ray of sunlight materialized within the space where the class change goddess Janna stood.
A massive mirror formed directly above the class change goddess Janna, within which resided a sun radiating boundless light and warmth.
"It seems that our enemies have not easily conceded defeat."
The World immediately took action.
He waved his right hand, summoning a pure black barrier in the sky.
This barrier of absolute darkness absorbed sufficient light and heat, rendering the sun within the mirror incapable of directly harming Jeremy.
Although The World acted with remarkable swiftness, he remained on high alert.
For the individuals seeking to thwart Jeremy were not limited to The Person in the Mirror alone.
Just as The World successfully thwarted the sun\'s attack summoned by The Person in the Mirror, an almost endless torrent of High-Dimensional Data breached the dimensional barriers and infiltrated the space where the class change goddess Janna resided.
"The power of the White Tower has also emerged!"
As the class change goddess Janna employed her powers to prevent the High-Dimensional Data from approaching Jeremy, she simultaneously alerted The World.
"The White Tower was bound to make an appearance. Although its plans in the real world have met with utter failure, it will not easily accept defeat."
The World promptly positioned himself beside the class change goddess Janna.
He resolved to assist her in fending off the assault from the White Tower.
While the sun conjured by The Person in the Mirror was visually more stunning, its actual capacity to inflict harm upon Jeremy was relatively limited.
The entities capable of completely disrupting Jeremy\'s awakening ceremony were solely the architects of the apocalypse game.
The World hoped to repel the White Tower\'s offensive as swiftly as possible.
He understood that the plot to obstruct Jeremy involved more than just the White Tower alone.
Just as The World was thwarting the White Tower\'s assault, a pool of black liquid gradually materialized not far from where the class change goddess Janna stood.
This pool of darkness slowly coalesced into a reflection of an abyss.
Within the abyssal reflection, a figure was revealed, suspended upside down.
The powers of The Hanged Man had now emerged within Jeremy\'s awakening ceremony.
At the very moment The Hanged Man\'s silhouette appeared, the spatial realm controlled by the class change goddess Janna uncontrollably began to collapse.
The entire space had already been corroded by the power wielded by The Hanged Man.
Upon sensing the overwhelming force of The Hanged Man, The World immediately devised a response.
He hurled a piece of white cloth towards the pool of black liquid that reflected the abyss.
The power of The Hanged Man was temporarily suppressed.
However, amidst the cracks of time and space, a figure adorned in the attire of the Magician slowly emerged, leaning upon a staff.
This individual was none other than the Apostle of The Fool, known as the Magician.
With a smile gracing his lips, the Magician regarded the battling class change goddess Janna and The World, speaking softly.
"I did not expect to encounter you both again so soon. It seems you two have yet to learn your lesson from the previous defeat. You actually intend to support a mere human in order to vanquish us.
Do you truly believe such an approach can yield success? Any being with a modicum of intelligence would not consider such a scheme viable."
In response to the Magician\'s derision, both class change goddess Janna and The World paid it no mind.
They were acutely aware that their adversary was the enemy, and there was no need to heed the taunts of an opponent. They simply needed to prepare themselves to eliminate the threat before them.
