Chapter 914: New Direction!
After Jacob kills the Soulless Ghost King in the most efficient way, he wants to get Elia and leave the city.
But it was already too late, and the Shadowless King and Black King had already captured Elia. Furthermore, they were already outside the king's chamber. If Jacob had shown himself, he knew he had no choice but to fight, which would've rendered everything he had done to get rid of Soulless Ghost King useless while also putting Elia's life at risk.
That's why Jacob quickly decided to feed the Soulless Ghost King's body to the Gluttony Mask. Although he knew there was a considerable risk of him losing control over the Gluttony Mask since Soulless Ghost King was a peak legendary king and probably a step away from becoming a Quasi-Myth, he still chose to go with it.
Jacob went with this choice for two reasons; the first was naturally after he gained full control over his prowess and figured out how strong his soul was, so raising the Gluttony Mask's rank to advanced legendary rank was still under his controlling ability unless he was increasing to Half-Myth or Mythical Rank.
The second reason was the Soulless Ghost King's identity as the top legendary king of the Ghost Race and as one of the ten members of the Dead Faction. Furthermore, with a soul search, Jacob had extracted over 70% of memories of the Soulless Ghost King, so he knew pretty much everything about him and the Dead Faction secrets now.
That's why he can play Soulless Ghost King and use this identity to his advantage, gathering not only resources but also raising his Jinx Core rank. In comparison, the Myriad Galaxy King's status was simply like trash.
Furthermore, it wasn't like he was giving up on the Myriad Galaxy City or the Alchemy King status of the Alchemy Guild. In fact, it was completely opposite because of Autarch!
Jacob knew once Autarch completed its evolution, he'd be the Myriad Galaxy King. Previously, he was thinking about discarding that body and leaving, but his plan had changed.
Although he didn't know how long it would take Autarch to finish his evolution, knowing Autarch's characteristics, Jacob wasn't worried about leaving him in this place.
Lastly, those legendary kings would also leave once they found the Myriad Galaxy King missing and the palace empty. He also knew they couldn't use excessive means unless they wanted to alert the entire alchemy guild.
So, their attention will be divided between the Myriad Galaxy King and Blackwell for the time being.
However, Jacob wouldn't leave things at that since those guys were seeking their own death by coming after him.
At this moment, Jacob coldly orders Nyx, "Find a way to release this information to the Alchemy Guild or, even better, alert the entire Life Faction about the Throne of Death seekers going after the Myriad Galaxy King.
"Once they take action and find the Myriad Galaxy King missing, Alchemy Guild will certainly not let it go, while others will start suspecting him of running away with the Throne of Death!"
Nyx has always been in the Virtual Star World through her virtual clone because Jacob had hidden the Soul Star Watch in the palace before entering the Infinite Space and set a formation to power it, so Nyx can use it despite Jacob no personally wearing it as long as she entered the virtual star world first.
Jacob discovered this ingenious method since he didn't want to wear the Soul Star Watch while conversing with Nyx, nor was she willing to give up her newly found 'social life.'
So, they discovered this method, which will allow Nyx to be in the Virtual Star World while also making sure of their safety. As long as Nyx can control her virtual clone and main body at once, she can be in two places.
Although this was quite difficult for even a legendary king, Nyx could easily do it because of her unique heritage. As long as Soul Star Watch isn't destroyed, Nyx will stay in Virtual Star World.
But Jacob knew it wouldn't be long before those legendary kings discovered it once they started looking.
"Are you sure you want to do this? After all, they might find the insect body if you gave him enough reason to tear down the entire place?" Nyx asked with a hint of anticipation.
Jacob sneered, "Just do it. No one can search for him anymore since he's dead. In fact, if those lords would probably open their mouths under pressure, it would be even better since, in any case, everyone would be chasing after ghosts. I won't make that rookie mistake again. And you should cut your connection with the star watch as soon as possible. I don't want any trouble. You can continue using the Virtual Star World once I get my hands on a new Soul Star Watch."
"Huh!? Why would I have to suffer with you?" Nyx instantly protested.
Jacob's eyes went sharp, "Do you want to suffer for a little while or for eternity? Your choice!"
"Fine!" Nyx quickly but reluctantly agreed.
Now that Jacob had escaped without revealing his identity or presence, he was ready to leave the Myriad Galaxy City.
Jacob took out the Space Travesty Shuttle and quickly flew towards the sky, leaving the Myriad Galaxy City.
"Alter! Detecting an Advanced Legendary King Spaceship heading in our direction!"
Jacob was startled, and his expression became solemn as he quickly commanded, "Avoid it. Use whatever function you need to use; I authorize you!"
"Order received!"
Jacob stayed silent as he watched the Space Travesty Shuttle emit ripples, and the next moment, it directly pierced into space, entering instant hyperdrive!
Although Jacob didn't know who this spaceship belonged to, he knew whoever could have a legendary king rank spaceship on the same level as Space Travesty Shuttle wasn't an ordinary person and was probably on the same level as the Soulless Ghost King.
'From the Soulless Ghost King's memories, this kind of treasure is in the hand of faction leader level characters like the Holy King, Spirit Poison King, Champion King…but the one who want the Throne of Death the most among these figures are the Spirit Poison King.
'The Soulless Ghost King was also wary of Spirit Poison King because of his Whammy Poison. Could it be him?'
A hint of killing intent flashed past Jacob's eyes, 'No matters, once the time comes to evolve my jinx core to legendary king rank, I'm going to look for him on my own. It's not worth wasting a legendary king rank dark being's dead flame yet…!'
