Chapter 59: Second Class Change - The Goddess Was Right, This Guy Truly Deserves to Die
Just like the first time he changed classes, a white light appeared in front of him.
In the next instant, Jeremy's figure vanished from the room.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Class Change Plaza.
Unlike last time, the surroundings were no longer grasslands but an endless expanse of blue ocean. The Class Change Plaza now resembled a small island floating on the sea.
Jeremy took a look around and noticed that the statue of the goddess Janna in the center of the plaza was gone. Instead, there was a grand and exquisitely crafted palace at the far end. It seemed that this second class change was taking place in a different location from the first.
[Please proceed to the Job Change Temple for your second class change!]
A prompt appeared in front of Jeremy.
After waiting for a moment and seeing no other movement, Jeremy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Janna hadn't noticed him.
Jeremy didn't rush to proceed with the job change. Instead, he took out a Substitute Puppet from his storage space.
Looking at the puppet, which resembled him exactly but had a somewhat vacant expression, Jeremy prayed in his heart.
Whether he could escape this ordeal depended on whether this Substitute Puppet could fool Janna.
The idea seemed a bit naive, considering that Janna, as the goddess overseeing job changes, would likely see through the puppet at a glance.
However, Jeremy knew that Janna wouldn't be manifesting in her true form.
Otherwise, she would have thrown him into the All-Spirits Prison last time, and he wouldn't have a second chance at a class change.
So, he might still have a chance.
Just to be safe, Jeremy first used a Concealment Mask to hide his aura, and then used the Ring of Transformation to change his face to Ritchie's.
Thus, the Class Change Plaza now had Jeremy and his good friend Ritchie.
"This should do it." Jeremy nodded in satisfaction.
After ensuring everything was in place, he walked straight toward the Class Change Temple.
The temple had an architectural style reminiscent of ancient Greece, with towering columns and intricately carved beams, exuding an aura of antiquity polished by time. Who knew how long it had stood there?
Upon entering the temple, a sense of solemnity and grandeur hit him.
The opulent main hall of the temple came into view, with statues representing various professions standing silently around the spacious hall, like dutiful sentinels.
At the far end of the hall stood an even more exquisite statue of the goddess Janna, looking incredibly sacred.
As soon as Jeremy entered the temple, the statue began to emit a faint glow.
[Welcome to the Class Change Temple.]
[Please stand in the magic circle in the center of the hall. I will proceed with your second class change.]
Janna's gentle voice reached Jeremy's ears, just like last time.
Though the voice was pleasant, its tone was unchanging, indicating a lack of personal consciousness.
The second class change didn't require any special conditions. One just needed to reach level 30. The real challenge would come at level 50 when players had to undergo a more complex job awakening.
Without much hesitation, Jeremy stood in the magic circle in the center of the hall, together with the Substitute Puppet.
Then, a glimmer appeared in the eyes of the statue of Janna.
"Buzz!"
The magic circle activated instantly, with the radiant patterns swirling on it.
A white light emanated from the circle, enveloping Jeremy.
Soon, Jeremy felt a wave of heat coursing through his body. His skin turned red, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
He could sense something unlocking within him.
The next moment, a surge of violent, malevolent dark red energy erupted from his body.
"Boom!"
The dark red energy broke free from the temple's confines, shooting straight into the sky!
In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds!
Black clouds roiled, thunder and lightning clashed, and fierce winds arose. The sea surged and roared.
The once bright temple was plunged into darkness, like the arrival of doomsday.
In the Class Change Temple, only the statue of Janna and Jeremy emitted a faint glow.
With his eyes closed, Jeremy could feel a transformation occurring within his power. The energy compressed, becoming denser and denser until it broke through a critical point.
"Boom!"
An overwhelming surge of dark red energy erupted from within him again, bathing the entire temple in a dark red hue!
[Ding! Congratulations on completing your second class change!]
[Your attributes have been enhanced!]
[You have acquired the super-tier skill "Seven Sins - Envy"!]
[You have acquired the high-tier skill "Abyssal Summon"!]
[You have acquired the high-tier skill "Calamity Wind"!]
...
A series of notifications appeared before Jeremy.
Simultaneously, several golden lights shone upon him.
[Your level has increased to 32, and you have gained 40 free attribute points!]
[You have acquired fixed class attributes: Strength +50, Spirit +50, Stamina +25, Agility +25!]
At this moment, Jeremy was enveloped in a fiery dark red glow, exuding a powerful and ferocious aura.
It was similar to when he used the skill "Seven Sins - Wrath". But now Jeremy's mind was exceptionally clear.
He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him.
After completing the second job change, his strength had significantly increased again. Jeremy estimated that even without the Sword of Judgment, he could now instantly defeat the ghoul high priest.
Jeremy exhaled, suppressing his excitement.
He was about to check his stats and skills.
Suddenly, a powerful energy wave emanated from the statue of the goddess Janna.
The statue's eyes began to shine, as if about to open.
"She's coming!" Jeremy's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly stepped out of the magic circle.
Barely had he prepared himself when a terrifying divine power erupted from the statue!
"Boom!"
Blinding light pierced through the darkness, dispelling the dark clouds in the sky in an instant.
An overpowering aura swept across the entire Class Change Temple.
Jeremy felt like an infant compared to this immense power.
Then, Janna's cold laughter echoed through the Class Change Temple.
"I've finally caught you!" The expression and eyes of the statue became more animated.
She wore a sinister smile, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Jeremy... or rather, his Substitute Puppet.
As for Jeremy, who wore Ritchie's face, she completely ignored him.
"Did it work?" Jeremy's heart stirred, and he glanced at the goddess Janna, bringing up her information.
[Name]: Goddess Janna (Descended)
[Level]: 120
[Rank]: Deity
[Health]: ???
[Attack]: ???
[Defense]: ???
[Skills]: ???
[Note]: The ancient goddess in charge of class changes, currently descended with a fragment of her divine consciousness.
Jeremy's eyes flickered as he looked at the panel.
This time, the goddess Janna was clearly different from before.
Although most of her attributes were still question marks, the Eye of Omniscience provided a bit more information.
Most importantly, Janna hadn't realized it was just his substitute.
Jeremy let out a long sigh of relief.
Judging by Janna's expression, she hadn't forgotten what happened last time. In fact, she seemed to have been holding a grudge. Thankfully, this class change goddess wasn't particularly bright. Otherwise, he would have been done for today.
"Despicable human, I told you that you would pay for offending a deity, and I meant it." Seeing the puppet's silent fear, Janna assumed Jeremy was too scared to speak.
She looked smug, finally able to vent her long-held anger, making her descent from the All-Spirits Realm worthwhile.
Jeremy blinked, prompting his puppet to show a fearful expression.
The puppet immediately looked terrified, trembling as it stammered, "I know I was wrong. Please, Goddess, spare me this once!"
Janna raised her chin, prideful, "Now you know fear, but it's too late! For the blasphemy of offending a deity, you must pay the price!"
With that, Janna's divine light intensified.
In front of Jeremy's puppet appeared a black door, firmly locked with two iron chains.
With a wave of Janna's hand, the chains loosened. The black door slowly opened, revealing a desolate, lifeless world beyond.
The dark, void-like sky was filled with bizarre monsters.
An ancient, desolate aura emanated from it, making Jeremy's heart race.
"So, this is the All-Spirits Prison?" Jeremy was astonished as he looked at the dark sky of the prison.
It seemed similar to the spirit realms he had seen before. He wondered if there was any connection between the two.
"Clank, clank!"
Suddenly, the chains from the black door flew out, wrapping around the puppet.
Jeremy could feel an overwhelming, inescapable force in the chains.
Then, his puppet was pulled directly into the black door.
"Bang!"
The black door shut instantly and slowly vanished, severing Jeremy's connection with the puppet.
He felt a pang of regret, as he hadn't used the puppet much.
Noticing Jeremy, Janna sneered, her tone a mix of warning and gloating, "This is the fate of those who dare to offend a deity!"
"The Goddess is right. Such blasphemers truly deserve to die!" Jeremy nodded repeatedly, his face full of agreement.
