Cursed Immortality

The woman's expression didn't change much, but her mind raced as she coldly stared at Jacob and questioned Chaotic Darkness, "Which part exactly? About the legendary treasure or leaving this place?"

"The latter."

A hint of surprise flashed past her pitch-black eyes, "So, does this mean he really has a Fable Legendary Treasure?"

"If he can't lie in front of me, then yes, he has it!"

The woman looked at Jacob thoughtfully. She didn't think this person would give her so many surprises, and she wondered if he was really from the Lesser Galaxy of Taurus.

But since Chaotic Darkness had confirmed it, she believed it. A legendary rank treasure holds quite an allure to someone like her, and she had already claimed a Legendary King State Legacy from the Tower of Capricorn and knew how powerful it was.

She also wanted a legendary king state treasure, but she couldn't choose both, so she was in sullen mode at that time. However, that legacy was more important, so she chose it after an intense internal struggle.

However, now Jacob was offering her a Fable Legendary State Treasure. Although she didn't know why he was lying about the other part, she still wanted that Fable Legendary State Treasure and Chaotic Darkness just confirmed that he really had it.

If it had been someone else, she would've already attacked them and snatched it, but since Jacob was so mysterious, she didn't have that confidence anymore, which made her somewhat depressed.

Nonetheless, she wasn't going to back down, and since Jacob was clearly scheming against her, she wanted to do the same because she was confident in coming on top!

"I don't have a way to leave here, but I do know that when all the Legendary Vestige are claimed, the Path of Legend will be closed and sent everyone away to the Middle Galaxies." She impassively replied at this moment.

She was about to continue making a 'deal' with him to get the Fable Legendary State Treasure when suddenly, Jacob's figure vanished from his spot, leaving behind an afterimage!

The first thought that came into her mind was that he was attacking her, so she quickly channeled her magic power. After a moment, she was dumbfounded because she didn't sense any kind of danger, and Jacob had left her detection range as well, which meant he was gone!

"What in the world…" She was bewildered since this wasn't how she had imagined it would be played out.

She thought Jacob would continue to try chatting with her and appear friendly to trick her, but he would never know she could easily detect his lies, so she would play along until she got a chance to strike back. She would not only get the treasure but also confirm whether Jacob really had the Universal Godly Artifact that she'd been searching for or not. Yet Jacob instantly left after she told him about the truth, and it wasn't a big deal since this was known to many. However, this only made her angry because it meant Jacob had no respect for her. He didn't seem to be scheming against her at all, or he had simply run away to get back up. But it didn't make any sense at all.

"That stinky skeleton probably ran away because he probably realized scheming against me would only backfire. But if he thinks I'm done with him, then he's thoroughly wrong, not until I confirm if he really had the Visor of Chaos!" She resentfully declared to Chaotic Darkness.

"I've rarely seen you so worked up like this; it seemed he left a deep impression on you. Still, he's more powerful than you for now, and it is not confirmed if he really has the Visor of Chaos yet, so don't act recklessly. You should focus on gathering the remaining Vestiges, and your paths might cross again if he still wants to search for another vestige!" Chaotic Darkness impassively stated. A hostile glint flashed past her eyes, "Hmph, next time I see him, I'll make sure he pays for his arrogance. Many more people are still here, including those hidden creatures with powerful souls. I'll become more powerful than him in no time!" ---

Jacob, who had abruptly left, was now miles away from that woman, and he continued at full speed. As for why he left, he wasn't planning on staying in the first place; he just wanted to confirm if she had any intention of leaving this place after she acquired the Cosmic Vestige of Capricorn.

Just like she had Chaotic Darkness to detect lies, Jacob had the Judgement Gaze to do the same, despite lacking in front of a Universal Godly Scripture. But he instantly knew that she was telling the truth, and that was enough to give him more information to work with.

So, without announcing, he instantly left because he was observing how she hadn't unsummoned the Chaotic Darkness after she summoned it. Her delay in reply also made Jacob sure that she was in discussion with the Chaotic Darkness in the midst of their conversation.

Jacob knew that if the Chaotic Darkness were like Cursed Immortality that could detect other origins, he'd be in big trouble. But since that woman didn't react much, Jacob became doubtful. With how Immortika reacts, he mused that as long as he didn't show Cursed Immortality, the Chaotic Darkness might be unable to tell his true origin.

If that woman learned who he really was, she wouldn't be chatting with him with that kind of confidence. If it was him, and he found that there was an opponent who was stronger than him and also possessed a Universal Godly Scripture, he would run away without hesitation and not stay there for a chat.

Even though he felt that he was stronger than that woman, he didn't want to test this theory because he knew that woman had not used any of her trump cards, and if he hadn't started chatting, she was also preparing to retreat.

Jacob had no intention of opposing any inheritors of Universal Godly Scripture unless he was ridiculously stronger than them or they had just acquired them. The main reason was, of course, the unpredictable Immortika! Furthermore, Jacob speculated that the woman with Chaotic Darkness might also be after the remaining Cosmic Vestiges. He needs them to progress with Chaotic Darkness as he needs them for Cursed Immortality.

After all, Immortika had told him only the Cosmic Vestiges were worthy of a Universal Godly Scripture, but he didn't know if every scripture had been used for them.

Nonetheless, Jacob wouldn't give up even if he had another competitor. He also had a way to claim back the Cosmic Vestige of Capricorn in that woman's hand, and if he succeeded, he'd use everything he had to quickly gather all the remaining vestiges and get the hell out of this place!

But first, Jacob needed some answers. Once he felt he was far enough and that the woman wasn't chasing after him, he coldly thought, "Cursed Immortality! We have a lot to discuss!"
