Although Jeremy's actions were swift, the Sun, wielding its godlike power, swiftly shattered Mortal Combat's special space.
If Jeremy hadn't stepped through the portal in time, he might not have been able to escape at all.
The overwhelming power of the Sun had nearly claimed Jeremy's life.
Although he managed to escape through a portal at the last moment, it took Jeremy half a day to regain consciousness.
When his mind finally cleared, he realized he was back in Moonlight City.
"I opened a portal leading to Moonlight City? In the chaos, did I unintentionally enhance my King of Time and Space ability? My talent is stronger now than it was before," Jeremy thought to himself, astonished.
He hadn't expected that, even in the midst of crisis, he would experience a strengthening of his power.
Although this was something to be pleased about, Jeremy had more pressing matters to attend to.
