NOVEL NEXT Chapter 284: Chapter 284: The Deluge of Data
The moment Jeremy departed from the Cemetery of Giants, he was suddenly enveloped by a vast torrent of data.
Some of this data was ordinary, while other segments constituted High-Dimensional Data. Although the proportion of High-Dimensional Data was relatively small, the energy inherent in High-Dimensional Data was extraordinarily potent.
Jeremy was able to perceive the existence of High-Dimensional Data because he had encountered a similar phenomenon in an instance within the realm of reality.
Ritchie, who had never encountered a situation like this before, appeared quite perplexed.
Although he sensed that something was amiss in their surroundings, he was unable to pinpoint the exact cause of this disquiet.
Ritchie carefully scrutinized the environment and, in a hushed tone, posed a question to Jeremy.
"Do you feel that there seems to be an elusive force surrounding us? Could it be that this force is somehow connected to the yet-to-be-born White Tower?"
While Ritchie was not particularly attuned to High-Dimensional Data, his experiences from previous events led him to surmise that any unexpected occurrences they faced were inextricably linked to the White Tower.
Jeremy, maintaining a calm expression, nodded in affirmation.
"The elusive force enveloping us is, in fact, High-Dimensional Data. However, it appears that this High-Dimensional Data has yet to be controlled by anyone.
Let us not concern ourselves with the effects of this High-Dimensional Data, instead, we should proceed directly towards the depths of the Tower of Exile. We must reach the lowest level of the Tower of Exile with utmost urgency.
If I am correct, the White Tower is on the verge of coming into existence. If we fail to arrive before its birth, we will lose our opportunity to defeat it."
Jeremy had no intention of utilizing his data storage device to gather all the surrounding High-Dimensional Data.
His reasoning for this was rooted in a desire not to alert any potential threats.
Should he collect all of this High-Dimensional Data, the White Tower would instantly be able to detect the changes in the High-Dimensional Data.
Although the White Tower had yet to officially come into existence, it maintained a very close relationship with High-Dimensional Data. Jeremy had to navigate his actions with caution to avoid any outcome that could lead to detrimental consequences.
Since Jeremy had made a decision, Ritchie naturally expressed no dissent.
The two of them swiftly descended the staircase of the Tower of Exile, making rapid progress towards the lower levels.
After advancing two floors, Jeremy suddenly came to a halt.
"Wait! It seems there is a formidable presence ahead! We must immediately prepare ourselves for battle!"
Upon hearing Jeremy's words, Ritchie promptly drew forth the Ravager's Gloves.
The moment he donned the Ravager's Gloves, Ritchie was struck by the overwhelming sensation that there were numerous shadows around them, each possessing a distinct sense of consciousness.
Under normal circumstances, shadows could not possibly exhibit independent awareness.
Even the shadows of monsters would lack independent consciousness before detaching from their physical forms.
The emergence of shadows endowed with independent consciousness signified that these shadows were, quite evidently, manifestations of their original entities.
Ritchie immediately conveyed his discovery to Jeremy.
Jeremy, after surveying the surroundings, displayed little astonishment. In his view, the shadows surrounding them posed minimal threat.
"There is no need to concern ourselves with these shadows, they likely harbor little hostility towards us. After all, they have not attacked us thus far. What we truly need to confront is that powerful entity not far in front of us."
After articulating this observation, Jeremy proceeded forward quietly and at a measured pace.
Ritchie followed closely behind Jeremy, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
After proceeding for a while, Jeremy abruptly came to a stop.
He signaled to Ritchie with his gaze that the formidable presence he had previously detected lay just around the corner.
Jeremy unsheathed the Longsword of the Undying, and Ritchie was already prepared for battle.
Having confirmed that launching an immediate attack was the most prudent course of action, Jeremy boldly charged towards the direction of the powerful entity.
As Jeremy rounded the corner, he was taken aback to discover that there was, in fact, no formidable presence at all.
What he had sensed was actually the Deluge of Data.
A vast accumulation of data converged to form the immensely powerful Deluge of Data.
Within this Deluge of Data, numerous High-Dimensional Data entities were coming into existence.
Upon witnessing this scene, Jeremy immediately recognized that the High-Dimensional Data emerging from the Deluge was likely intended to augment the power of the White Tower.
Consequently, without a moment of hesitation, Jeremy sprinted towards the Deluge of Data, wielding the Longsword of the Undying.
Experience more on m v|l e'm,p y r
Although the Longsword of the Undying could not directly annihilate the Deluge of Data,
Jeremy was resolute in his determination to confront this overwhelming force.
However, Jeremy possessed the skill known as The Mechanical Puppet Technique.
He could simultaneously launch an attack while employing The Mechanical Puppet Technique to disrupt the High-Dimensional Data within the Deluge of Data.
As long as the High-Dimensional Data was torn apart, the Deluge of Data, which was centered around it, would subsequently be shattered as well.
At that point, the Longsword of the Undying would be able to fulfill its intended purpose.
Jeremy's speed of attack was extraordinarily swift, before Ritchie even caught sight of the Deluge of Data.
Jeremy had already swung the Longsword of the Undying towards the Deluge.
There were no flaws in Jeremy's execution, and his plan indeed succeeded.
The Deluge of Data was directly torn into four distinct fragments.
However, what transpired next exceeded all of Jeremy's expectations.
Rather than rapidly dissipating after being torn apart, each fragment of the Deluge of Data began to absorb the surrounding data.
The piece of Deluge of Data closest to Jeremy transformed into a colossal mechanical monster.
Thanks to the insights provided by the Eye of Omniscience, Jeremy immediately discerned the characteristics of this enormous mechanical creature before him.
[Name: Mechanical Rampage Beast ]
[Category: Special Derivative Boss ]
[Level: 54 ]
[Skills: 1. Mechanical Assembly. 2. Total Bombardment. ]
[Skill Description:
Mechanical Assembly. The Mechanical Rampage Beast possesses the remarkable ability to continuously combine any mechanical components it encounters during battle.
Each time the Mechanical Rampage Beast integrates a part into its own form, it gains an additional unique ability.
Once the Mechanical Rampage Beast has assembled a sufficient number of mechanical parts onto itself, its attributes will experience a significant enhancement. Furthermore, the level of the Mechanical Rampage Beast will correspondingly increase.
Total Bombardment. The Mechanical Rampage Beast is armed with a vast array of weapons.
Throughout the course of combat, it employs various weapons to launch attacks against its foes.
After each weapon has been utilized at least once, the Mechanical Rampage Beast will activate the Total Bombardment skill.
When the Total Bombardment skill is triggered, every attack executed by the Mechanical Rampage Beast will unleash a simultaneous barrage of fire from all its weapons.
Each weapon's attack will grant an additional damage bonus to the attacks of other weapons.
If the enemy lacks any special defensive skills, they will suffer severe injuries.]
[Tip: Absolutely do not allow the Mechanical Rampage Beast to assemble too many mechanical parts! By defeating it before the Mechanical Rampage Beast can assemble four components, one can obtain additional intelligence.]
Upon reviewing all the data concerning the Mechanical Rampage Beast, Jeremy immediately resolved to unleash his full power in order to initiate an assault.
Under the guidance of The Eye of Omniscience, Jeremy understood that he must not prolong the battle for too long.
Moreover, to secure the extra rewards from The Eye of Omniscience, he needed to eliminate the Mechanical Rampage Beast before it could assemble four mechanical parts.
Jeremy remained unaware of the speed at which the Mechanical Rampage Beast could assemble its components.
If the Mechanical Rampage Beast were to assemble its parts at an extremely rapid pace, it was highly probable that Jeremy would be unable to prevent it from reaching four assembled components.
Without hesitation, Jeremy activated the talent of The King of Time and Space, using a Portal to teleport directly behind the Mechanical Rampage Beast.
The rear of the Mechanical Rampage Beast was not heavily armored, instead, numerous electronic conduits were laid bare across its back.
Jeremy lifted the Longsword of the Undying and struck heavily toward the direction where the electronic conduits converged on the Mechanical Rampage Beast's back.
This attack proved effective.
As the Mechanical Rampage Beast was severely injured by Jeremy's strike, emitting a deafening roar of metal clashing.
Simultaneously, the red lights on the Mechanical Rampage Beast began to flicker ominously.
Just as Jeremy intended to continue his assault, he suddenly sensed a tremendous threat.
Though he could not discern the source of this threat, Jeremy ultimately decided to temporarily create some distance between himself and the Mechanical Rampage Beast.
Once more, Jeremy activated the talent of The King of Time and Space, and with the appearance of the Portal, he teleported back to his original location.
At that moment, Ritchie had just witnessed the Mechanical Rampage Beast in its frenzied state.
Upon seeing the Mechanical Rampage Beast, Ritchie's expression turned profoundly grim.
This was due to the fact that mechanical-type monsters are exceedingly difficult to control with shadow manipulation skills.
Mechanical creatures, in essence, lack souls, all mechanical monsters are driven by High-Dimensional Data.
Ritchie felt that he would be unable to provide any assistance to Jeremy in the impending battle.
However, just as Ritchie hesitated, Jeremy suddenly spoke up.
"Focus your mind! The Mechanical Rampage Beast before us cannot be easily defeated!
Moreover, we must not prolong the confrontation for too long! The Mechanical Rampage Beast will only become stronger as the duration of the battle increases.
We must strive for a swift resolution, so there is no need for you to reserve your ultimate skill until the end!
Go ahead and unleash your decisive ability right now!"
