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

Chapter 194: The Real Purpose of The Person in the Mirror

In a concealed spot in the outskirts of Moonlight City, Kean was acquainting himself with the formidable divine power he had recently acquired.

Directly before Kean stood a colossal full-length mirror, the surface of which was, at that moment, shrouded in a substance akin to an eerie, obsidian liquid.

"What exactly are your intentions? Why did you assist me in seizing the formidable divine power possessed by the White Tower?"

Kean inquired, his face devoid of any emotion, murmuring to himself.

Soon, a little girl's voice emanated from the massive full-length mirror directly in front of Kean.

"We helped you for a very significant reason, of course. However, you cannot know this reason for now, because once you discover it, you will no longer cooperate with us."

Upon hearing these words, Kean chuckled softly.

"If you refuse to divulge your true intentions, I will also refuse to cooperate with you. Moreover, I must warn you that I have now mastered formidable divine power.

Even without your cooperation, I am fully capable of annihilating Jeremy using the power I've already harnessed. I highly doubt Jeremy can elevate his strength beyond mine in such a short span of time." Kean declared with unwavering confidence.

His tone brimmed with certainty at this moment.

After absorbing all the divine power the White Tower had left in the real world into his own body, Kean could arguably be considered the most powerful being in existence.

Although Kean could no longer use the skills the White Tower had once bestowed upon him.

He found that as long as he could manipulate the divine power within his body, he could elevate his abilities to an astonishing level.

The voice of the little girl in the mirror swiftly transformed into a raspy and aged voice that Kean recognized all too well.

"You will not proceed in that manner.

For if you do, you will undoubtedly be ridden with regret. Our power far surpasses your imagination. Just as we were able to imbue you with the divine power of the White Tower, we can just as easily strip you of every ounce of that sacred power." the voice warned.

Kean nodded calmly, his expression remaining serene.

He indeed believed that the Person in the Mirror would implement such measures.

After all, the Person in the Mirror's previous series of actions had successfully entangled Kean, the White Tower, and Jeremy in a web of deception.

Though all three parties took various actions, ultimately, they only facilitated the Person in the Mirror's plan.

"We've been collaborating for a long time now. Do you still not trust me? Do you think I would divulge your true intentions to others?"

Kean lifted his head and gazed at the large floor mirror before him.

"Do you genuinely wish to know our purpose?"

"Of course! Do you intend to turn me into a puppet like the White Tower aimed to do?"

"Our objective is certainly not to convert you into a puppet. However, once our goal is achieved, the divine power you possess will not remain entirely intact."

The raspy and aged voice from the mirror finally revealed some information intimately related to Kean.

Kean wasn't particularly surprised by these words.

For Kean had originally believed that there was absolutely no way to retain all of the divine powers he had acquired.

After all, in the previous operations, Kean had not actually contributed much effort. The one who had truly exerted significant effort was the Person in the Mirror.

"I can certainly accept that you will take away a large portion of my divine powers. I only need you to leave me with enough to defeat Jeremy."

Upon receiving Kean's unequivocal answer, the Person in the Mirror finally revealed their true objective.

"Since you are able to accept this, I shall disclose our true purpose to you.

Our ultimate goal is to resurrect a great deity. And to resurrect this deity, we must possess an exceptionally powerful amount of divine energy."

Hearing these words, Kean's face displayed a look of astonishment.

"You actually intend to resurrect a deity? Are you saying that the deity you aim to resurrect is the one defeated by Jeremy?"

Kean immediately connected this revelation to the information the White Tower had previously shared with him.

The White Tower had explicitly mentioned that Jeremy had once caused the downfall of a deity in the world where the apocalypse game was planned.

"You are absolutely correct, the deity we seek to revive is the great Sun."

The moment the raspy and aged voice finished speaking, a dazzling sun appeared on the surface of the large floor mirror in front of Kean.

Even though this radiant sun was confined within the mirror, it still managed to project an immense amount of light and heat into the world beyond the mirror.

Kean never imagined that the Person in the Mirror's objective was to resurrect a deity.

However, after calming down, Kean suddenly realized that if the Person in the Mirror's plan succeeded, he too would reap significant benefits.

"If the great Sun you speak of is successfully resurrected, would it target Jeremy as its primary adversary?"

Kean inquired of the Person in the Mirror.

"Indeed, that is certain. After all, it was Jeremy who caused the downfall of the great Sun. Should the great Sun be successfully revived, it would undoubtedly seek retribution against Jeremy."

The Person in the Mirror provided an unequivocal response.

After hearing the other party's response, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Kean's mouth.

"In that case, I will fully cooperate with your actions from now on. If taking all the divine powers from me can revive the Sun, then go ahead and take them all right now."

If he could truly gain the assistance of a deity, Kean was naturally willing to pay the corresponding price.

Moreover, in Kean's view, if the Person in the Mirror successfully resurrected the Sun, then the Sun would surely be able to manifest directly in the real world.

A deity capable of appearing directly in the real world would undoubtedly wield far greater power than the White Tower.

"It's not the right time yet, we must complete other preparations before we can initiate the deity's resurrection process."

The Person in the Mirror, of course, believed in Kean's sincerity.

Thus, the Person in the Mirror also disclosed the next phase of their plan.

"Reviving the great Sun naturally requires an ample amount of divine power. However, divine power alone is insufficient for a successful resurrection.

We must gather enough equipment and artifacts related to the great Sun. By concentrating all the Sun's essence from these items, we can proceed to the next step."

Kean nodded in agreement.

"The equipment and weapons I currently possess have no connection to the Sun. However, from my recollections, my family's warehouse contains items somewhat related to sunlight.

I will promptly return to my family and bring you all the relevant equipment and weapons from our storage. Following that, I will swiftly gather other items associated with sunlight."

After finishing his sentence, Kean prepared to return to the capital to begin his mission.

But the Person in the Mirror quickly interjected, "The power of the Sun encompasses more than just sunlight. It also embodies the power to set rules and establish covenants."

"Therefore, equipment and weapons related to rules and covenants also carry the essence of the Sun. If you manage to gather those items, you must bring them to me as well."

Kean nodded in understanding.

"I understand. Then let's not waste any more time and get to it immediately!"

After Kean finished speaking, the enormous floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him returned to its normal state.

Kean stepped into the mirror's surface, and was instantly transported from the outskirts of Moonlight City to a villa in the capital belonging to the Lannisters.

This villa was exclusively Kean's private residence.

Upon arriving back at his villa, Kean glanced over his shoulder at the mirror behind him. The surface of the mirror was covered in a black liquid.

"For the upcoming period, we must focus all our efforts on gathering items related to the great Sun. Therefore, refrain from provoking Jeremy for the time being."

The voice of the Person in the Mirror echoed a reminder from within the glass.

Kean nodded in acknowledgment.

"Naturally, I understand which matter holds greater importance. You need not worry, I shall not trouble Jeremy in the foreseeable future."

With Kean's clear response, the mirror in front of him returned to its normal state.

At that moment, the astonished voice of the butler, Farmer, suddenly reached Kean's ears.

"Master, what brings you here? Didn't you mention you had a very important mission to undertake?!"

The expression on Farmer's face was one of utter surprise.

He had assumed that Kean's mission would require several days to complete, no matter the circumstances.

Upon hearing Farmer's words, a faint smile appeared on Kean's face, and he replied nonchalantly.

"What is it? Are you displeased with my return?"

Farmer's expression shifted from surprise to fear upon hearing Kean's remark.

"How could I be displeased with your return, Master? I was merely concerned for your well-being. After all, during your one or two days of absence, the higher-ups of the family have been inquiring about your whereabouts."

Hearing this, Kean's gaze suddenly turned cold.

At this moment, the butler Farmer also felt an immense pressure.
