Chapter 308 Trapping the Enemy, Pressing Forward
In a desperate assault, the God of War unleashed an astonishing burst of power. In almost an instant, he was upon the Mechanical Tutor, brandishing his weapon with the intent to deal a divine blow. However, unexpectedly, the Mechanical Tutor generated a shield right in front of herself.
A massive amount of High-Dimensional Data absorbed the divine attack, and in turn, reflected the force back at the God of War. The backlash sent the God of War flying through the air. If not for the mountain behind him breaking his fall, he might have been thrown even farther.
"Is this all you've got? Seems your previous defeat wasn't just a fluke. Even without the intervention of the great [Fool], you'd still be unfit to retain your divine seat," the Mechanical Tutor sneered, her tone dripping with disdain.
Furious, the God of War rose from the ground. "The battle is just beginning! Don't think you can defeat me so easily!"
With those words, the God of War gathered all his strength, enlarging his figure to five times his previous size. Seeing this, the Mechanical Tutor responded in kind. She expanded, making the mechanical components that formed her body even more colossal. The Mechanical Tutor's robotic form now towered even higher than before.
The two giants clashed in a direct confrontation, not far from where Jeremy and Ritchie were situated.
As the Mechanical Tutor and the God of War battled, Jeremy was using his skills and tools to help Ritchie recover from the negative effects.
"Can you hear me? If you can hear me, take this item from my hand," Jeremy instructed, pulling a tool from his pocket that was capable of blocking mental contamination.
He hoped Ritchie would grip the item, as it should help alleviate his headache. Following Jeremy's guidance, Ritchie, though still dazed, took hold of the tool. The moment he grasped it, the intense pain in his head quickly subsided.
"I feel much better now! What's the situation? Are we still in serious danger?" Ritchie asked, no longer suffering from the agonizing headache. He even had the energy to focus on their current predicament.
In response to Ritchie's question, Jeremy spoke with a hint of worry.
"Our situation is terrible right now! The Mechanical Tutor's strength far exceeds my expectations. Even if the God of War and I work together, we might not be able to defeat her."
While Jeremy was saying this, Ritchie glanced over at the battlefield not far away. After watching for a moment, he concluded that the God of War was on the verge of defeat.
"So, what should we do now? Should we step in and help the God of War? Maybe if the two of us act, we can assist him in driving the Mechanical Tutor back." Ritchie wasn't ready to give up just yet.
But Jeremy shook his head and said, "Even if we manage to push the Mechanical Tutor back temporarily, we still won't be able to escape her pursuit. I think we need to find another way to get out of this situation."
No sooner had Jeremy finished speaking than the God of War was defeated in his battle against the Mechanical Tutor. His strength was almost completely drained. Using the last of his power, the God of War quickly retreated to Jeremy and Ritchie's side.
"The Mechanical Tutor is far too powerful. I can't defeat her. Why don't we use your talent, *The King of Time and Space,* to open a portal and escape quickly?" the God of War said urgently to Jeremy.
Jeremy didn't respond immediately. He simply stared at the rapidly approaching Mechanical Tutor.
"What are you hesitating for? If you want to face the Mechanical Tutor head-on, then just tell us. We'll fight her alongside you. If you're not planning to engage in a final battle with her, then you should open a portal quickly and get us out of here!"
Ritchie was becoming anxious, watching Jeremy in a daze. He felt Jeremy was being too relaxed at this critical moment.
Despite Ritchie's urgency, Jeremy remained silent. He kept his eyes fixed on the approaching Mechanical Tutor.
In this moment, Jeremy noticed something he hadn't seen before about the Mechanical Tutor. She was currently in her robotic form, equipped with numerous weapons, but at the same time, her ability to manipulate High-Dimensional Data had weakened.
Jeremy could sense that the amount of High-Dimensional Data surrounding the Mechanical Tutor had significantly diminished. This meant that perhaps he could use this opportunity to catch the Mechanical Tutor off guard.
Silently, Jeremy devised his plan of action. His apparent daze was nothing more than a ruse, intended to confuse the opponent. He wanted the Mechanical Tutor to believe that he was already intimidated by her overwhelming power.
Jeremy's strategy worked. As the Mechanical Tutor advanced, she felt confident in her victory. She even began to mock Jeremy and his companions. Experience tales with mvl
"I really don't understand where you found the courage to enter the Tower of Exile. Your strength is laughably weak. To me, you're nothing more than cannon fodder. It seems that even the outer defenses of the Tower of Exile were far too lenient. Perhaps we should consider strengthening them."
The Mechanical Tutor felt so assured of her victory that she no longer worried about fighting Jeremy and the others. In fact, she had already started thinking about how to bolster the Tower of Exile's defenses.
However, just as the Mechanical Tutor closed in to within 100 meters of Jeremy and his group, Jeremy suddenly activated his *King of Time and Space* ability. A portal materialized in front of him, and at the same time, he warped the space around the Mechanical Tutor.
Because the space around her was distorted, the Mechanical Tutor's movements became much slower than before. Startled by the unexpected turn of events, the Mechanical Tutor looked around in disbelief, quickly assessing the situation.
Her reaction was swift—she immediately began to manipulate the High-Dimensional Data to neutralize the spatial distortion. However, since her control over High-Dimensional Data was weakened in her robotic form, it took her longer than usual to reverse the distortion.
Seizing the opportunity while the Mechanical Tutor was preoccupied with restoring the warped space, Jeremy dashed through the portal and appeared right next to her. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the Dark Core.
Although Jeremy didn't fully understand the connection between dark powers and High-Dimensional Data, he had a hunch that the Dark Core could be used to restrain the Mechanical Tutor.
With everyone watching, Jeremy hurled the Dark Core directly at the Mechanical Tutor. As if drawn by the Mechanical Tutor's energy, the Dark Core flew straight into the crevices of her massive mechanical body.
The moment the Dark Core made contact with the Mechanical Tutor's mechanical body, a surge of dark powers flooded into her system. Although the Mechanical Tutor desperately tried to suppress the spread of the dark powers, Jeremy interfered with her efforts. Using his *King of Time and Space* ability, Jeremy continued to distort the space around the Mechanical Tutor.
As the spatial distortion intensified, even the High-Dimensional Data couldn't penetrate the warped space. In this way, Jeremy successfully sealed the Mechanical Tutor and her control over the High-Dimensional Data within the distortion.
Jeremy quickly returned to Ritchie and the God of War.
"I've trapped the Mechanical Tutor! There's no need to waste any more time fighting her. Let's head to the upper levels of the Tower of Exile right away," Jeremy declared.
Both the God of War and Ritchie were stunned by Jeremy's statement. Ritchie immediately asked, "Shouldn't we take this chance to defeat the Mechanical Tutor? If we don't deal with her now, she'll surely come after us."
Hearing this, Jeremy sighed.
"I want to defeat the Mechanical Tutor too! But with our current strength, it's impossible! Just trapping her has already taken everything we've got. We need to keep moving forward! If we cause greater damage to the Tower of Exile, the power that Mechanical Tutor and her backers from [the White Tower] rely on will weaken. Once that happens, we can destroy all of our enemies."
After saying this, Jeremy opened a portal leading to the upper levels of the Tower of Exile. Though it was a dangerous move, Jeremy had no other choice. There was no longer time to ascend the tower slowly by using the stairs. He had to reach the upper levels of the Tower of Exile as quickly as possible.
The God of War immediately supported Jeremy's decision.
"I agree with Jeremy. Staying here to fight the Mechanical Tutor is a waste of time and does us no good. Our true enemy is [the White Tower]. Before we confront [the White Tower], we need to conserve our strength."
With the God of War's persuasion, Ritchie quickly agreed to Jeremy's plan. The three of them passed through the portal, rapidly heading to the upper levels of the Tower of Exile.
Shortly after they disappeared through the portal, the Mechanical Tutor managed to undo the spatial distortion surrounding her.
