Chapter 22: The Heaven-Defying Hidden Class, The Fool's Doomsday Game
Afterwards, no more sound came from the deity statue of the class change.
Jeremy noticed that, at some point, the panel of the class change statue had returned to normal.
It seemed like he had annoyed the goddess away.
Jeremy chuckled and didn't mind, his palm waving out phantoms.
In the empty class change plaza, only the sound of slaps echoed.
Soon, a prompt appeared before him.
[Ding! You have triggered a hidden mechanism and obtained the hidden class "Blasphemer"!]
[Your stats have received an enhancement!]
[You have gained skills: Lawless One lv1, Seven Sins-Wrath lv1, Sinflame lv1, Calamity Blade lv1]
[Note: Favorability from the gods -100!]
…
Simultaneously, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened.
Jeremy sensed this and looked up, only to see the sky filled with rolling dark clouds, as if brewing something.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a terrifyingly dark red lightning tore through the sky, carrying an immensely wild aura and might, as though it aimed to split heaven and earth, striking him precisely.
"Damn!" Jeremy barely had time to curse inwardly before the terrifying energy surged into his body.
In that instant, Jeremy felt as though he was about to be torn into shreds by this wild energy.
He clenched his teeth, enduring the pain of feeling like his body was being ripped apart.
Jeremy could feel this powerful force rapidly transforming his body.
After an unknown amount of time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
On the class change plaza, Jeremy was enveloped in dark red energy, even his eyes turned dark red, emitting an immensely wild aura.
"It's done!" The red light in Jeremy's eyes faded, and he clenched his fist, feeling the power inside him had increased several fold.
If he faced the fused zombie again, he now had the confidence to kill it with one blow!
Jeremy opened his panel.

Jeremy found that after the class change, his strength and spirit attributes had almost increased by 4 times, and his stamina and agility had increased by 3 times.
He also gained two super-tier skills and two high-tier skills.

...
Looking at the skill descriptions in front of him, Jeremy was amazed.
Worthy of a hidden class, indeed powerful!
"The Unreachable" allowed him to wield two weapons and learn skills from other classes.
"Seven Sins - Wrath," although it had severe negative effects, could give him a chance to turn the tides in a desperate situation.
"Disaster Blade" could enhance his damage, adding special effects to his attacks. While "Sinfire" was a magical skill that could not only deal magic damage but also add a mental scorching effect.
At this moment, Jeremy finally understood why the beginner's player manual said that only players who have changed classes are considered true players.
His power had far exceeded that of an ordinary person, making him a true transcendent being!
This kind of power was beyond anything he could have imagined before.
As for the prompt about the gods' favorability being -100, Jeremy glanced at it and then brushed it aside.
Compared to the increase in strength, it was nothing.
...
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.
In a splendid golden palace.
Gana, wearing a gorgeous long dress with white and gold threads, sat on the highest throne, her beauty stunning and her demeanor noble.
However, her exquisite face was filled with anger, her magnificent chest heaving with fury.
She slammed her throne, gritting her teeth, "You despicable creature, wait for me! I will throw you into the All-Spirit Prison and let those monsters deal with you harshly. Let's see if you dare to disrespect me again!!"
The thought of Jeremy being tormented by various monsters in the All-Spirit Prison until he cried for mercy brought a vengeful satisfaction to Gana's face.
She huffed, "Even if you beg for mercy a hundred times, I will never forgive you..."
Just then, a guard in golden armor entered the palace.
He knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "My goddess, the magician has come to visit you."
Hearing this, the anger on Gana's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a majestic and noble expression.
She indifferently said, "Tell the magician I am unwell and ask him to come back another day."
The golden-armored guard complied and was about to leave.
In the great hall, a man's voice suddenly rang out.
He laughed, "I wonder where Goddess Gana is feeling unwell. I have some medical knowledge. Perhaps I could be of assistance to Her Grace."
"It's none of the magician's concern." Gana replied, lifting her eyes to the entrance of the hall, where a man had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
He wore a black gentleman's hat, a black tailcoat, and held a silver-handled white wax cane. His appearance was ordinary and unremarkable, yet it caused the golden-armored guard beside him to suddenly look alarmed.
"Without permission, no one is allowed to barge into the Transcendent Temple!" The golden-armored guard reached for the sword at his waist, his expression wary, as if facing a great enemy.
However, before he could draw his sword, the magician's gloved hand gently pressed on the hilt, preventing the guard from pulling it out no matter how hard he tried.
Cold sweat broke out on the guard's forehead.
The magician did not look at him, instead, he lightly chuckled at Gana, "Is this how you treat your guests, Goddess Gana?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from the magician, enveloping the golden-armored guard.
The guard fell to his knees, trembling, feeling as if a mountain were pressing down on him, rendering him immovable.
"I never said you were my guest." came Gana's cold voice.
At the same time, the guard felt the pressure on him suddenly vanish, as if it had never been there.
"Thank you, Your Grace!" The guard stood up, shamefully bowing his head.
"Leave us." Gana ordered the guard.
The guard glanced at the magician, then obeyed the command and withdrew.
Gana turned to the magician, indifferently asking, "What brings the magician here so unannounced?"
The magician gave a gentleman's bow, smiling, "The Fool has noticed that Your Grace has entered the game. So he sent me to ask if you'd like to have a share of the spoils. We could meet to discuss."
Gana calmly responded, "The Fool worries too much. I merely noticed some issues with the Transcendent Idol, so I went to check. I have no interest in participating in his Endgame."
The magician's eyes narrowed, "In that case, I hope Your Grace won't interfere too much with the affairs of the game in the future, to avoid misunderstandings... It wouldn't be good to harm the harmony."
Gana gave him a cold look, "Magician, I doubt those were The Fool's exact words for you to convey. Guess what would happen if I told The Fool that you tried to meddle while attempting to recruit me? What end do you think you'd meet?"
At her words, the magician's expression changed.
He took a deep look at Gana, said nothing more, and turned to leave the Transcendent Temple.
Not until she saw him leave did Gana breathe a sigh of relief.
She murmured to herself, "I didn't expect The Fool to have noticed. I'll have to be more careful next time."
