Cursed Immortality

Chapter 823  Impossible to Trick!

'Chaotic Darkness?!'

Jacob's mind reeled as his eyes were struck on the glyph, and to make sure he wasn't hallucinating, he repeatedly confirmed it again and again.

A sudden chill ran down Jacob's spine at this moment as everything became clear to him: Immortika's strange response, this woman's incomprehensible prowess, everything!

'She has a Universal Godly Scripture! Although it's different from Cursed Immortality, I'm sure of it! And I can see it and read its name because it's written in the same language as the Cursed Immortality! Not only that, but it seemed Immortika had vanished because if I could see her Universal Godly Scripture, she'd be able to see mine as well!

'Furthermore, it seemed Immortika also knew all along that another inheritor of a Universal Godly Scripture was in the Path of Legend, and that's why it said, 'And here I thought it was avoidable!' That bastard book clearly didn't want me to encounter her. 'Still, it should have told me before instead of running away on me… or could this scripture be even more powerful than Cursed Immortality? After all, Cursed Immortality is not a magic type scripture…'

The more Jacob thought about it, the more it made sense, but he didn't have time to dwell on this topic further because this revelation was simply too huge. Now that he knew this woman had a Universal Godly Scripture that might be stronger than Cursed Immortality, he lost his will to fight.

Because he knew better than anyone how unreasonable the prowess of a Universal Godly Scripture can be, he had no idea what abilities this Chaotic Darkness could grant its inheritor or how much progress she had made.

Nonetheless, one thing was clear after she was affected by the Slumber Hex: She should be someone like him who had only gotten her hands on the Chaotic Darkness not long ago since she wasn't a Fable Legendary Rank yet.

But Jacob was still not willing to fight her for the exact reason that he had no clue what kind of abilities the Chaotic Darkness had. He hated to admit it, but he was glad that Cursed Immortality had taken the initiative to unsummon itself.

If she could really see the Cursed Immortality as he could see the Chaotic Darkness, she would know that he has a Universal Godly Scripture. His biggest secret would be revealed, and she might've fled with this information and become vigilant about it, and he would have no idea about it!

Jacob didn't dare to imagine the consequence of this information falling into someone like her hands. Although he didn't know if someone could inherit more than one Universal Godly Scripture, he wasn't greedy enough to put it to the test by trying to snatch it away from someone acknowledged by one.

Furthermore, Jacob still vividly remembered just how much allure a Universal Godly Scripture held and just the possibility of someone having it, which could draw the full attention of someone like Furcas!

Lastly, Jacob was unsure if the Chaotic Darkness was as unpredictable as Immortika and would go out of its way to protect its inheritor. But he sure didn't want to find out.

Still, Jacob suddenly thought about something as he looked at the woman still standing on her spot, completely oblivious to the fact that her biggest secret had been revealed in front of him. He mused that she might be talking with the Chaotic Darkness.

"I'm willing to back down, but can you tell me if you're from a lesser galaxy? Because I'm also from the lesser Galaxy of Taurus." Jacob suddenly spoke as he lost his fighting stance, but he was still fully alert, and at any sign of attack, he would flee.

But he wanted to take this chance to see if he could get more information out of her and if he could make her let her guard down. However, he wasn't optimistic about it because if she were someone like him, she wouldn't trust anyone.

Still, despite her earlier haughty attitude and disdain for the people from the higher galaxies, he was sure that she hadn't encountered dangers like him, and she seemed to blindly trust her Universal Godly Scripture's might.

Not only that, but he instantly thought about how she didn't get acknowledged by the Wisp of Capricorn despite having a Universal Godly Scripture because if she had, he wouldn't have gotten another piece of Legendary Master Key, which made Jacob somewhat uneasy yet curious about why Cursed Immortality has such an effect. The woman was about to flee after heeding Chaotic Darkness's advice when she suddenly looked at Jacob with a hint of surprise. Jacob's change in attitude was beyond her expectations, and she thought he would chase after her, so she needed to use one of her trump cards to escape this mysterious opponent.

Truth be told, as someone who hadn't encountered an actual opponent who could rival or harm her under the same realm and make her Chaotic Darkness react in such a way and failed to see through him, she was also curious about Jacob.

"Is he telling the truth?" She quickly asked Chaotic Darkness before she said anything to Jacob.

"I didn't sense any lies from him, but you should be careful. This person is wearing the skin of a Dark Being yet has a powerful Life Signature. Furthermore, from your earlier exchange with him, he released his soul force for a moment, and I'm sure he also has a Spiritual Nebula far stronger than yours.

"He might be a Legendary Rank who somehow crossed the Middle Galaxies with his soul totem and then possessed someone from the lesser galaxies. Now, he's trying to reignite his soul totem to make this body enter the Legendary Rank. But it still does not make his existence clear; instead, it makes him even more of an anomaly. "Lastly, his Eyes are very special; they might be the closest variant of three ancient optical abilities. But for some reason, I can't see through them, just like his origin, and that's why I'm telling you to avoid him if you can. You're not strong enough, and he might be planning something. But it is your decision to make; I won't interfere!" Chaotic Darkness impassively replied.

The woman was even more shocked as she looked at Jacob and finally spoke, "I'm indeed hailed a lesser galaxy. But why do you ask?"

Then she quickly asked Chaotic Darkness, "Don't you say your Universal Godly Artifact is in the Path of Legend, and you even sensed it before you suddenly lost connection? You've told me your artifact can block any and all probing. So, since you can't see through him, do you think he had it?"

Chaotic Darkness replied without hesitation, "Impossible! If he's using my Universal Godly Artifact right in front of me, I'll be the first to know. Furthermore, a Universal Godly Artifact without its Universal Godly Scripture can't showcase its true abilities.

"Although it will still hold power beyond any treasure, its true form and abilities will only be revealed when it's united with its Universal Godly Scripture. If he really had the Visor of Chaos, then it'll be in the form of a Soul Artifact Gluttony Mask, and it only has two abilities.

"And I'm sure he's not using any of those. But since his very existence is a mystery to me, there is a 1% possibility that he might have it. However, you didn't have the ability to confirm it yet!" Chaotic Darkness solemnly replied.

At this moment, Jacob also spoke, unaware of the conversation between the two, "I'm asking because you seemed to have encountered the people from the middle galaxies and had experienced how unreasonable they are.

"Now that you have claimed a Legendary Vestige, once they discover it, they'll come after you with full force, especially those who are still searching for legendary keys.

"So, I was wondering if you have a way to leave the Path of Legend? I can pay you with a Fable Legendary Rank Treasure if you can take me with you!"

Jacob's words again surprised her, and she wondered if this guy was playing some kind of trick to get her to let her guard down. But his reasoning made sense.

However, at this moment, Chaotic Darkness's impassive voice rang, "He's lying about the last part!"
