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

Having confirmed that Janna was currently incapable of taking any action, Jeremy naturally had no reason to fear her.

Moreover, if any danger were to arise, he could easily sever the mental link and abandon the Substitute Puppet without hesitation.

Though it would be a pity to dispose of the Puppet, it was already trapped within the Prison of All Souls, and Jeremy, with his current abilities, had no means of retrieving it.

With this realization, Jeremy felt a newfound sense of confidence.

He leisurely strolled over to Janna, fixing his gaze on the tantalizing glimpses of her exposed skin beneath her tattered divine robe, his eyes filled with amusement.

At this moment, Jeremy's large foot was nearly pressed against Janna's cheek.

The sight of such an odorous foot so close to her face nearly drove Janna mad with rage.

Coupled with Jeremy's piercing stare, her fury only intensified.

She resolved to muster her divine power to teach this audacious mortal a lesson about the consequences of offending a deity.

With eyes burning with hatred, Janna shouted, "Jeremy, for daring to insult me in such a manner, I will make you pay dearly!"

A dense layer of divine light instantly emanated from Janna's hand.

Startled, Jeremy immediately prepared to sever his link with the Substitute Puppet.

However, in the next moment, the divine light in Janna's hand flickered and extinguished, like a faulty light bulb.

The wind howled through the tense silence, leaving the situation awkward.

Janna herself seemed taken aback by this turn of events. Their gazes locked, and under Jeremy's mocking stare, she felt an indescribable mix of shame and anger welling up inside her.

In the end, Janna, overwhelmed with humiliation, spat out a mouthful of golden blood and feigned unconsciousness.

Jeremy, smirking, looked at the goddess lying on the ground with her eyes shut and said, "Goddess Janna, where is the price I am supposed to pay? I don't see it anywhere!"

Janna's face flushed even redder with embarrassment, but she continued to feign unconsciousness, avoiding Jeremy's eyes at all costs.

Jeremy clicked his tongue twice, stroking his chin as he muttered to himself, "Unconscious, are we? Well, I haven't had the chance to experience what a goddess feels like."

As he crouched down, he caught sight of a dazzling flash of white, realizing for the first time that Janna's divine robe was riddled with holes.

Janna, initially confused by Jeremy's words.

However, when Janna followed Jeremy's gaze and noticed her own barely concealed bosom, her mind went blank, and a single thought echoed in her head: "W-what is he looking at?!"

A piercing scream echoed through the air as a surge of divine power erupted from Janna, sending Jeremy's Substitute Puppet flying.

After being propelled dozens of meters, the Puppet finally hit the ground with a thud.

Fortunately, the Substitute Puppet had inherited half of Jeremy's strength and wasn't severely damaged.

Otherwise, Jeremy would have been inconsolable.

Climbing to his feet and rubbing his nose, Jeremy felt a pang of awkwardness.

His intention had not been to molest Janna, her exposed state, her helplessness, and their antagonistic history had all combined to make him momentarily lose control and steal a few glances.

Meanwhile, Janna was on the verge of collapse.

For countless millennia since her creation, Janna had never experienced such an invasion of her privacy.

The realization that her most intimate parts had been seen by a member of the opposite sex made her feel utterly defiled.

A solitary tear, imbued with divine light, slowly trickled down her cheek.

The class change goddess was actually crying!

As Jeremy once again approached her, Janna felt a tumultuous mix of anger and fear. "What does this demon want now? Could he really be planning to... take advantage of me?" she thought in terror.

Having expended all her strength in that earlier outburst, Janna now found herself utterly powerless. If Jeremy truly intended to do something unspeakable, she would be unable to resist.

An overwhelming sense of dread crept across her face.

At this moment, Janna resembled less a class change goddess and more a terrified young girl about to be victimized by a villain.

Seeing Jeremy draw closer, a determined glint flashed in Janna's eyes. "Jeremy, I warn you, if you come any closer, I... I will self-destruct!"

Jeremy let out a bitter chuckle and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not someone who takes advantage of others' misfortunes. It was all a misunderstanding earlier. There's no need to be so tense."

Janna's voice, tinged with both anger and a hint of tears, retorted, "A misunderstanding? Can a misunderstanding explain your actions just now? Ever since I had the misfortune of encountering you, nothing good has happened! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up trapped in The Prison of All Souls by the Fool? If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen to such a wretched state!"

Jeremy, feeling indignant, replied, "Isn't that because you're narrow-minded? A goddess chasing after a mere mortal like me, and you got caught by the Fool—how is that my fault? I'm a victim here too!"

All of this clearly started because Jeremy insulted her idol, and yet Jeremy had the audacity to call her petty!

Staring at the shameless Jeremy in utter disbelief, Janna was at a loss for words. She glared at him, her face full of incredulity: "You... you..."

"You, you," she stammered, unable to form a complete sentence before spitting out a small mouthful of blood.

Seeing the divine blood, Jeremy felt a pang of heartache. This was the blood of a goddess, who knew what kind of rare material it might be?

If he weren't afraid of driving Janna to her death, he would have collected it.

After all, Jeremy had already figured it out: since he could control the Substitute Puppet again, the Prison of All Souls and the Land of Eternal Night must not be far apart.

The "Dawn Break" event was shrouded in mystery, and he might need the help of this class change goddess to get out of there.

Pausing for a moment, Jeremy waited for Janna to catch her breath before saying, "Alright, alright, let's say it's all my fault. Goddess, please calm down."

"The most important thing now is to escape this damned place. Do you have any good ideas?"

Surprisingly, after hearing Jeremy's half-hearted apology, the fire of Janna's anger inexplicably subsided.

Moreover, what Jeremy suggested was precisely what Janna most desired at this moment.

As long as she could restore her strength and escape this cursed place, dealing with Jeremy, a mere mortal, would be a trivial task for her.

With a delicate snort, Janna replied, somewhat dejectedly, "If I were in my prime, it wouldn't be a problem. But the issue is that I've been severely injured by the Fool. Forget escaping the Prison of All Souls. I can't even move right now."

Jeremy pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there no way to recover? I have some healing potions here."

As he spoke, Jeremy brought out all his healing potions, including the Water of Life.

To his surprise, Janna didn't even glance at them.

With a tone of frustration, Janna said, "Do you think the Fool's attacks are that simple? If it were just a matter of health, I wouldn't need your help. I could recover on my own."

"The reason I'm gravely injured now is due to severe soul damage. Unless there's something that can significantly restore my spiritual essence, even a century wouldn't be enough to heal."

By the end, Janna's voice carried a tinge of bitterness.

Jeremy could sense that Janna was bordering on despair.

Soul-related items are top-tier treasures no matter where you are. It wasn't that Janna underestimated Jeremy, she genuinely believed that someone like him couldn't possibly possess such a rare item.

However, Jeremy suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He retrieved a fingernail-sized, snowflake-like, translucent white crystal from his storage space. This crystal was none other than a Soul Crystal.

Holding the Soul Crystal before Janna, Jeremy asked, "Can this Soul Crystal heal your soul damage?"

The moment she heard the words "Soul Crystal," Janna's eyes lit up.

Afraid she had misheard, she quickly looked at the crystal between Jeremy's fingers and exclaimed, "It can be used, Soul Crystals are exactly what we used to use."

Hearing this, Jeremy mused, "So the special existence mentioned in The Eye of Omniscience's prompt referred to deities."

Without further ado, Jeremy felt a lightness in his fingers and turned his head to see the Soul Crystal dissolve into a brilliant ray of light, which Janna eagerly absorbed.

Instantly, her complexion improved ever so slightly.

Janna sighed, "Unfortunately, such a small amount of Soul Crystal is insignificant, it barely makes a difference."

Upon hearing this, Jeremy didn't waste any more words. He took out all the Soul Crystals from his storage space.

Seeing the growing number of Soul Crystals in Jeremy's hand, Janna's eyes began to sparkle with hope. "This... this many? Jeremy, how do you have so many Soul Crystals?"

Jeremy shrugged and said, "I obtained them by defeating monsters along the way. So, is it enough?"

The joy on Janna's face grew even more pronounced. "Just by killing monsters, you have this many? It's different from our era."

After shaking her head, Janna added, "Although these Soul Crystals are numerous, they can only heal about one-thousandth of my injuries."

Jeremy's expression froze. "One-thousandth?"
