CURSED IMMORTALITY

Chapter 913: Divine Inquisition!

Hundreds of miles away from the Myriad Galaxy Palace, the light in a remote alleyway suddenly shifted before the figure of Soulless Ghost King appeared.

But the next moment, the Soulless Ghost King's semi-transparent body suddenly started to morph, and his three-meter height became two meters before the skeleton body revealed itself. The hollow eyes became more profound, and pale golden flames ignited.

There was no longer any similarity between the Soulless Ghost King and this newcomer except for the cold demeanor. After all, this was Jacob who was impersonating as the Soulless Ghost King using the Gluttony Mask!

After turning back into his real self, Jacob couldn't help but look in the direction of the Myriad Galaxy Palace, and his eyes flickered with killing intent and a hint of incredulous.

'Who could've thought those Legendary Kings would be drawn here by the Throne of Death from the Valley of Sunless Dusk even after so much time had passed?

'Not only that, but I've underestimated its attraction to the legendary kings, even more so their prowess and means! If I hadn't learned about the actual depth of a legendary king's abilities and what they can do with soul sense, I would've been still ignorant while holding up in the Infinite Space. And Elia would've been taken by someone…'

The more Jacob thought about what had transpired in these few hours, the angrier he became. He learned about the tracking skills noted in the wisdom tome of the Cursed Necromancer King and the fact that the soul force residues of a legendary rank, especially the legendary kings. Jacob instantly became alert and had a very bad feeling, so he quickly exited the infinite space.

But what Jacob had never expected was he would meet with the real Soulless Ghost King at the moment he came out.

The Soulless Ghost King was naturally alarmed and astounded when he saw Jacob appear out of nowhere and even witnessed the infinity symbol. Furthermore, like everyone else, the Soulless Ghost King was also tracking the soul totem signatures, and he was the first one to start looking, which ended up leading him to the king's chamber.

Furthermore, the Soulless Ghost King was truly strong, and the moment Jacob appeared, he instantly knew that the soul signature he was suspected to be from the Myriad Galaxy King was actually Jacob's.

But Jacob had already learned all the things about the legendary kings at that time, and the moment he noticed the Soulless Ghost King, his first thought was that it was Blackwell.

However, he knew for a fact that Blackwell was dead, and at that point, Blackwell's memories that he had absorbed through the Nightmare Sepsis Fruit instantly helped him discover the identity of the Soulless Ghost King and his character.

At that time, Jacob knew he couldn't start a fight with the Soulless Ghost King because he was not easy to deal with, and the battle would most likely end up destroying the entire city.

The Soulless Ghost King also sensed terrible danger from Jacob because of his extraordinary soul sense, and as an old ghost who had been alive since who knows when, he also didn't blindly attack Jacob.

But Jacob knew that things were completely going south since he knew the threat he was fearing had ended up becoming real, and he knew the Soulless Ghost King was probably the start.

At that time, Jacob realized that he couldn't stay in this place anymore, so he decided to flee, but the problem was the Soulless Ghost King in front of him, and the quickest way to deal with him was dragging the Soulless Ghost King into the Infinite Space!

After all, in the Infinite Space, everyone was mortal except for Jacob, but the problem was he could only drag someone into the infinite space if they were willing or had no will to resist, the same as the infinite pendant storage space.

He couldn't hex the Soulless Ghost King either since his jinx core was still not strong enough, and jinxing him would not solve the problem instantly.

Thereby, Jacob decided to use his law ability for the first, the Divine Inquisition of the Eyes of Judge!

This law ability was equally strange as the Scales of Justice. Jacob can compel them to confess their sins or falsehoods by locking eyes with a target. The greater the target's sin the greater the punishment of power reduction, it can even turn a god into a mortal as long as Jacob can maintain it!

This works on a weaker soul than Jacob, and if he tries to use it against someone much stronger, it risks significant backlash and even harms Jacob's soul if the target manages to resist.

However, the strength of Jacob's soul was at a terrifying level, especially because of Nyx and his cursed skeleton totem, so despite being an expert in souls, Soulless Ghost King stood no chance against Jacob. The Divine Inquisition instantly caught him before he could even react.

Furthermore, Soulless Ghost King hadn't thought Jacob would have an ancient aspect like the Eyes of Judge, much less its law abilities. After all, the Holy King was feared precisely for this reason, and even the Soulless Ghost King didn't dare to fight her wantonly.

However, the problem with the divine inquisition was that it was a double-edged sword, just like his Scales of Justice or any law abilities. In the case of the Divine Inquisition, just like the Scales of Justice, this ability also judges sins based on Jacob's moral beliefs and values.

If Jacob considers something not a sin, like murdering someone, then the Divine Inquisition wouldn't consider it a sin. That's why Jacob never planned to use it against anyone since he knew his mortal values were twisted and these abilities might end up harming him instead.

However, in the case of the Soulless Ghost King, Jacob knew as a Dark Being that there was no way the Soulless Ghost King's sins were lesser than his, and he had lived far longer than Jacob.

So, when the Soulless Ghost King was affected by the Divine Inquisition, he couldn't use any power until he was judged, and his consciousness was trapped in the Eyes of the Judge.

This was all Jacob wanted, and he risked suffering a backlash by moving against the law's ability by dragging the Soulless Ghost King into the Infinite Space.

The moment Soulless Ghost King entered the Infinite Space, his fate was sealed, and despite escaping the law ability, Jacob suffered a minor backlash since the judgment had yet to be decided!

In the end, Jacob easily deals with the Soulless Ghost King since he is helpless as a mortal in the Infinite Space and completely at Jacob's mercy.

Jacob even used the newly learned soul technique of legendary kings' soul sense, the Soul Search, to extract as many memories from the Soulless Ghost King as possible, which ended up destroying the Soulless Ghost King's soul totem; it was a consequence of soul search!

This is how the strongest expert of the Ghost Race, who had terrorized the legendary plains for countless years and reaped countless souls, met his demise!
