BXBX NOVEL Chapter 162: Contacting Allies to Gather Intelligence
Jeremy spent the better part of half a day poring over a significant volume of documents.
Howard remained by his side the entire time, silently observing without uttering a single word or performing any other action.
"To be honest, I can\'t immediately digest such an overwhelming amount of information." Jeremy confessed, a slight look of confusion clouding his features as he finished reading the last document Howard had handed him.
The documents Jeremy reviewed were all related to the relationships between different types of monsters after the apocalypse and their respective strengths and weaknesses.
Although these documents did mention Moonlight City and the instances and monsters within the vicinity, such content constituted only a minor portion.
This implied that Howard brought Jeremy here not merely to resolve the crisis facing Moonlight City but also with the hope that Jeremy could devise a solution for all the monsters.
Among all the information, what intrigued Jeremy the most was, of course, the changes in the monsters\' strengths.
Jeremy noticed that the significant increase in monster strength coincided precisely with the time when he entered the instance and, in collaboration with [The World], successfully killed [The Sun].
Although Jeremy had already harbored similar suspicions before, he found it difficult to accept the reality once his hypothesis was confirmed.
The current situation essentially proved that other planners of the apocalypse game had already made their moves.
This meant that the situation Jeremy faced had become even more severe. He didn\'t even have the luxury of considering Kean\'s threat at this moment.

"I brought you here not merely to inform you about the significant increase in monster strength. More importantly, I want you to understand that only through our concerted efforts can we face the increasingly dire situation." Howard explained.
Initially, Howard hoped that Jeremy could find some insight within the military\'s archives to counter the Dark Tree. However, after seeing Jeremy\'s expression, Howard realized that his objective had not been achieved.
Consequently, Howard swiftly adjusted his focus.
If Jeremy could fully cooperate with him from this point onward, they could expedite the elimination of all instances around Moonlight City.
While this would ensure the safety of Moonlight City, it would also allow Howard and his subordinates to offer support elsewhere, thereby alleviating the monster pressure on other cities.
Howard\'s words seemed to strike a chord with Jeremy.
Snapping back to reality, Jeremy looked at Howard and said, "You\'re right. In the face of such a severe situation, we must collaborate closely. However, I have more pressing matters to attend to right now."
With that, Jeremy walked out of the archives without even informing Howard of the more important matters he needed to address.
"Where exactly are you planning to go? Besides these documents, I hope you can review some additional materials. Our military base has an extensive archive."
Howard called out in Jeremy\'s direction.
Jeremy didn\'t turn back in response to Howard\'s words. In fact, before Howard could even finish his sentence, Jeremy had already vanished.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Howard\'s face.
He let out a sigh and muttered to himself, "The situation is far worse than I anticipated. Collaborating with a genius like Jeremy is proving to be exceedingly challenging."
Jeremy was unaware of Howard\'s reaction, nor did he care.
What Jeremy aimed to do was to return home as quickly as possible and establish contact with the Class Change Goddess Janna or [The World].
Jeremy believed that the information he currently possessed was exceedingly limited.
While the military could provide some details about the real world, the most crucial information was undoubtedly beyond their reach.
Only powerful entities like the Class Change Goddess Janna and [The World] could provide such crucial information.
Upon returning home at the fastest speed, Jeremy immediately locked his front door.
Jeremy took out the gemstone given to him by [The World], then began to silently recite the names of the Class Change Goddess Janna and [The World] in his mind.
After a brief moment of disorientation, Jeremy found himself standing before the Class Change Goddess Janna.
The Class Change Goddess Janna appeared to be in excellent condition. Upon seeing Jeremy, she even had the mood to tease him.
"It looks like you finally remembered me. Have you run into some trouble again? If you hadn\'t, you probably wouldn\'t be seeking me out." she joked.
Jeremy gave an awkward smile and said, "I have indeed encountered some trouble. The strength of the monsters in the real world has significantly increased. Is this the doing of the apocalypse game planners?
Do you have any relevant information? If you do, I hope you can provide it to me. Only then can I quickly eliminate the monsters in the real world and weaken the power of the apocalypse game planners."
Faced with Jeremy\'s question, the Class Change Goddess Janna responded without any hesitation.
"Of course, I have relevant information. And I can tell you very clearly right now, the reason for the increased strength of those monsters in the real world is indeed due to the intervention of two apocalypse game planners.
These two planners are our greatest enemy, [Fool], and another who is highly skilled in manipulating machinery, [The White Tower]. As exceptionally powerful beings, they have successfully coordinated to enhance the strength of the monsters in the real world."
Upon receiving the answer from the Class Change Goddess Janna, Jeremy nodded.
"What exactly should I do to weaken the strength of these two individuals? The monsters in the real world have already become powerful enough to annihilate all of humanity.
I must quickly find a way to diminish the monsters\' power. Moreover, I have a strong feeling that the strength of these monsters will continue to escalate.
If I don\'t act swiftly, their power will soon reach a level that could lead to the total destruction of humanity."
After hearing Jeremy\'s words, the Class Change Goddess Janna smiled and said, "Your assessment is absolutely correct. If you wish to halt the increase in monster strength, you must severely damage one of the apocalypse game planners."
"Do you mean to say that I must directly challenge [Fool] or [The White Tower]? That is an utterly impossible task.
Even disregarding the fact that my power is far inferior to theirs, I have no means of locating their current whereabouts. They are certainly not in the real world."
Jeremy felt a slight headache as the solution provided by the Class Change Goddess Janna seemed utterly impossible to achieve.
"You are absolutely right, they are not in the real world at all. Furthermore, neither the Class Change Goddess Janna nor I can transport you to the world they inhabit."
The voice of [The World] came from behind Jeremy.
Jeremy quickly turned his head to look at the speaker. "Did you just arrive, or have you been here all along without revealing yourself?"
"I have been here all along. The reason I didn\'t show myself earlier was merely to assess whether you have sufficient strategic awareness.
Now that you know the two apocalypse game planners have intervened directly, can you guess their objective? If they intended to annihilate all of humanity, they could have done so long ago."
Faced with the question posed by [The World], Jeremy hesitated for a moment before arriving at an answer that he found hard to believe.
"Are you implying that the reason these two apocalypse game planners are doing this is to target me specifically?"
Jeremy asked [The World], his confidence wavering significantly.
In Jeremy\'s view, even if he possessed extraordinary talent and was a one-in-a-million human genius. It still didn\'t make sense for the two apocalypse game planners to see him as such a threat. Shouldn\'t their primary targets be the Class Change Goddess Janna and [The World]?
"You must be deceiving me! If these two apocalypse game planners wanted to target me, they could just strike directly. There\'s no need for them to go to such great lengths."
[The World] nodded, seemingly agreeing with Jeremy\'s statement.
"In the past, they could indeed have targeted you directly. Even if you hid in the safest place in the real world, you would still be instantly killed by these immensely powerful beings.
However, after the fall of [The Sun], the overall strength of the apocalypse game planners isn\'t as formidable as it once was. They can\'t easily project their power into the real world.
They must have some sort of medium to bring their power into the real world.The reason they have significantly enhanced the monsters\' strength is clear.
They aim to restrain human actions through this method.This will prevent humanity from having the chance to stop their arrival.
[The World] spoke these words with a smile.
"If I haven\'t missed any information you\'ve mentioned, can I draw the following conclusion?
One of the planners of the apocalypse game, who possesses deity-like power, is about to descend into the real world.
And their sole purpose for doing so is to eliminate me?"
Jeremy asked [The World], his disbelief evident.
[The World] nodded silently.
