End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues -
Chapter 88: Divine Consciousness Fusion Rate
Unconsciously, Bonnie's previous agitation faded away, replaced by a gentle warmth.
At that moment, Jeremy in the room opened his eyes.
Due to his exceptionally high soul attributes, even a few hours of sleep constituted a deep, restorative rest for Jeremy.
The moment Jeremy opened his eyes, he took out the skill scroll for "The Arcane Art of Mind Refinement."
Without hesitation, Jeremy used it.
In an instant, a new skill appeared on Jeremy's skill panel.
[Skill: The Arcane Art of Mind Refinement]
[Level: lv1]
[Tier: Ultra]
[Type: Support (Active)]
[Description: The Devouring of the Essence of Souls by the Gods: By using "The Arcane Art of Mind Refinement," one can subtly devour the essence of souls, gradually enhancing the user's soul power.]
No sooner had Jeremy learned the skill than a few energy crystals appeared in his hand.
[Ding, would you like to use a Tier 3 Energy Crystal to upgrade the skill "The Arcane Art of Mind Refinement" to Level 3?]
"Yes."
[Ding, would you like to use a Tier 5 Energy Crystal to upgrade the skill "The Arcane Art of Mind Refinement" to Level 6?]
"Yes."
These energy crystals were of quite high rank, and with Jeremy using them without hesitation, the level of[The Arcane Art of Mind Refinement]quickly reached lv10.
After reaching Level 10, the skill description for [The Arcane Art of Mind Refinement] changed to: "By subtly devouring the essence of souls, one can rapidly enhance the user's soul power."
Jeremy then produced a small soul crystal, about the size of a fingernail.
Although he had given most of his soul crystals to Janna.
However, this didn't mean that Jeremy was completely out of soul crystals.
With a serious expression, Jeremy's steady voice echoed, "The Arcane Art of Mind Refinement!"
In an instant, a slight suction force specifically targeting the soul crystal appeared at the center of Jeremy's forehead.
Under this force, the soul crystal, originally as hard as a diamond, softened immediately.
Soon after, the entire soul crystal turned into a stream of light and was absorbed into the center of Jeremy's forehead.
Instantly, Jeremy felt a cool, mint-like sensation surge through his brain.
The indescribable feeling of comfort almost made Jeremy let out a contented sigh.
At that moment, it felt as if Jeremy's brain was soaking in a hot spring.
Unfortunately, this pleasant sensation was as fleeting as it was intense.
Within just a few seconds, Jeremy opened his eyes again.
By now, the soul crystal in his hand had completely vanished.
A sense of loss washed over Jeremy's mind.
Shaking his head, Jeremy dispelled this strange feeling and opened his attribute panel.

Compared to the previous attribute panel, this time there was an additional attribute named Soul Power.
Moreover, the most crucial addition was a progress bar that appeared on Jeremy's attribute panel.
Touching his nose, Jeremy fixed his eyes on the [Divine Consciousness Fusion Rate] progress bar, lost in thought.
"This [Divine Consciousness Fusion Rate] progress bar only appeared after the Soul Power attribute showed up. Clearly, increasing Soul Power will cause this progress bar to grow."
"Also, anything associated with 'divine' isn't simple. This [Divine Consciousness] might be the key to getting me closer to what is called godhood."
No matter what, Jeremy had to fill this Divine Consciousness Fusion Rate as quickly as possible.
Here's the problem: both Janna's recovery and Jeremy's enhancement of Soul Power required soul crystals.
Jeremy hadn't anticipated that what he once treated as mere explosives would become so crucial now.
For a moment, Jeremy regretted wasting those soul crystals as makeshift bombs.
Just then, Heber's rough voice rang out from outside the door: "Hey, Miss Bonnie, what are you doing standing outside Jeremy's door? Why don't you go in?"
Immediately after, Bonnie's slightly agitated voice responded, "I just got here, and I didn't say I wouldn't go in."
With a creak, Bonnie pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
Upon entering, she saw Jeremy sitting dazedly on the bed, his hair slightly disheveled, clearly just waking up. A touch of tenderness appeared in Bonnie's eyes.
Walking to Jeremy's side, Bonnie hesitated before saying, "Jeremy, you don't have to push yourself so hard. With... with us around, we can help you."
Jeremy had no idea what emotional journey Bonnie had gone through.
Though he knew Bonnie meant well, Jeremy couldn't help but tease, "As long as you don't get knocked out by the poison as soon as you land, you'll be doing me a huge favor."
Upon hearing this, Bonnie's face flushed a deep red. The tenderness in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.
With just one sentence, Jeremy had utterly crushed the tender feelings Bonnie harbored deep inside.
Bonnie stomped her foot hard and pointed an elegant finger at Jeremy, scolding, "Jeremy, you are such a jerk!"
Without another word, she turned and stormed out of the room.
Jeremy, with his sharp eyes, noticed a glistening tear at the corner of Bonnie's eye.
He hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Bonnie. Scratching his head, he muttered, "Is she crazy? It was just a joke. Why did she start crying?"
At that moment, Heber walked in.
Although Bonnie had almost bumped into him on her way out, Heber had more pressing matters to attend to.
Ignoring the complicated dynamic between Jeremy and Bonnie, who seemed neither like friends nor lovers, Heber produced a gilded invitation and excitedly announced, "Jeremy, the Lord Mayor has invited you to a banquet at the mayor's mansion!"
Heber then eagerly pulled Jeremy up from the bed, chattering like a machine gun, "Jeremy, this is a personal invitation from the Lord Mayor! In all these years, this is only the second time I've seen such an invitation."
Feeling a bit impatient, Jeremy said, "Heber, the most important thing right now is soul crystals. I don't care about any mayor."
To his surprise, Heber shook his head and replied, "Jeremy, you don't understand. The Lord Mayor's reputation is well-known throughout the Land of Eternal Night. With his endorsement, our trip to Nocturne City will be much easier!"
Hearing this, Jeremy knew he couldn't ignore the opportunity.
Patting Heber's arm, Jeremy said, "You should've mentioned this sooner. Let's go meet the Lord Mayor right away."
…
Unnoticed, night had fallen, and the time for the banquet mentioned in the invitation had arrived.
Jeremy, Heber, and Bonnie, all dressed in their finest attire, stood outside the mayor's mansion.
Unlike the somewhat excited Jeremy and Heber, Bonnie's face was icy, her expression cold and detached.
In truth, Jeremy had no idea why Bonnie had agreed to join them for the banquet.
Before they came, Jeremy had merely asked Bonnie to help him and Heber pick out some outfits. He hadn't expected Bonnie to follow them to the banquet.
Actually, even Bonnie couldn't explain why she insisted on following Jeremy to this banquet.
It was only when Heber mentioned how the Lord Mayor's second daughter, Nina, admired Jeremy, and how the last person personally invited by the mayor had become his eldest daughter's husband, that a twinge of jealousy began to sprout in Bonnie's heart.
With a complex mix of emotions, Bonnie determined to see what was so special about this Nina that could captivate Jeremy's attention.
However, the moment they saw the mayor's mansion, Bonnie's inexplicable jealousy was thrown out the window.
The reason was simple: as the grand outline of the mayor's mansion appeared in her view, a large group of people, seemingly out of nowhere, suddenly drew weapons and launched an attack on the mansion.
The guards within the mansion seemed unprepared for such a bold assault, and for a moment, were unable to react.
In an instant, several fireballs the size of an average human head crashed into the mansion.
The next moment, explosions resounded within the mansion with deafening "boom," "boom" sounds.
It was only then that a shrill cry echoed from within the mansion: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Accompanied by the tolling of bells, a translucent barrier rose up from the mansion.
At the same time, Jeremy and Heber arrived at Bonnie's side.
Jeremy's Eye of Omniscience activated, and he instantly recognized that the black-robed attackers, who revealed no hint of their appearance, were the same nobles who had appeared beneath Dawn Arena not long ago.
In fact, within this assaulting group were the clan leaders of the Golden Lions and the Black Goats.
Jeremy's brow furrowed, realizing the gravity of the situation.
Immediately, Jeremy decided to get Heber and Bonnie out of there.
No joke. Most of the fighters on both sides are high-level profession-awakened experts. How could Jeremy, who hasn't even reached level 40 and has two burdens to take care of, possibly get involved?
