Cursed Immortality

?A day before, Eula entered the Siren Hymn Temple with the head container and sealed scroll.

"So, this is the thing that Star Lord wants to deliver with eight anonymous stars' heads?" Jacob analyzed the gray scroll with a seal on it, but he didn't try to unseal it because he knew he would destroy it without a proper method, and his plan would fail if that happened.

Eula, standing in front of Jacob, replied emotionlessly like a puppet, "Yes. I received this scroll a few days ago through teleportation transportation. I was ordered to hand it over to Anonymous Star No.1 together with my identity, and then I was supposed to leave the Mermaid Faith City and return to the base."

"How interesting. Even Anonymous Star1 wasn't aware of your true identity as Anonymous Star No.10. He was also ordered to deliver this scroll with the heads to the Ocean Oracle and was quite confident that she would personally receive it. And your orders were different before, right?" Jacob asked with a hint of uncertainty.

"Yes, the plan was to sneak into the temple together with Anonymous Star1 when most of the Templars were away and kidnapped the Ocean Oracle. However, Star Lord suddenly changed it." Eula replied truthfully.

Jacob frowned a little as he still didn't understand why the Star Lord made such changes. "This Star Lord really knows how to plant a spy, but I still don't understand what he wanted to achieve by this. The answer probably lies within this scroll, but I can't open it. Well, whatever, since his plan is going to help me, I'm pretty content with it. Go and wait for me to finish my preparation; make sure no one comes to this place."

Eula nodded in agreement before she left Jacob alone in this secret room inside her residence.

"What is your order for me, sir?" Autarch asked who was still inside Anonymous Star No.1's body and standing behind Jacob.

Jacob replied, "For what I'm about to do, Eula would be sufficient. I don't want you to be caught by this, so it won't be long before you have to discard this body as well."

"I understand." Autarch didn't ask further questions, became silent, and let Jacob do what he wanted.

'Now, how many bombs would be sufficient to blow up an entire city protected by a three-step legend rank formation?' Jacob thought as he looked at the scroll.

Jacob's plan was simple; he wanted to blow up the entire Mermaid Faith City with the Ocean Oracle!

But to make this plan work, he needed to make sure the Ocean Oracle was in the range of those blasts because he still didn't know what her rank was. So, to ensure this attack didn't fail, he decided to use almost all his explosives that couldn't be used with Planet Destroyer.

Jacob then carefully carved a space rune under the skull of anonymous star2, right under those runic lines, because it would be very hard to discover with those runic lines present. Afterward, he stored all those bombs in that space rune, which had a 20-meter space.

He had done this many times to make the Planet Destroyer, so it wasn't hard for him to do the same with a skull. All he needed were materials and to be extremely careful not to damage the skull. This process was like making a space ring and a skull of Beyond Unique Rank being more than resilient enough to achieve it.

But it was still not enough because despite storing those bombs in this hidden space rune, he still needed a trigger to blast them. Since he didn't want to be anywhere near when this blast happened, he used a magic trigger.

He first connected all those bombs with a simple magic rune that was connected to a magic remote control, and then he installed it in a Sun Missile, which was even more powerful than the one he used in the dead faction territory.

As for its trigger, it was also very simple; it can be triggered by anyone and isn't complex. Most importantly, its size is minuscule, so it can't be noticed by others unless they are looking for it.

So, he sneakily carved it above the runic seal of the sealed scroll. Now, even if Ocean Oracle didn't receive this scroll, as long as someone opened it or the runic seal was destroyed, the trigger would be activated the very next moment.

All Jacob needs is for them to be present in the middle of the Siren Hymn Temple the moment the trigger is active, and he will still achieve his goal. To make sure it happens, he has Autarch as security.

This will be the end of not only the main Siren Hymn Temple but also the Mermaid Faith City, not to mention all the blood he would harvest once all those powerful sirens present in the city die because of it.

This will also be his final act. He leaves the deep ocean for good because, after this, he knows a huge upheaval will start in it, and he doesn't want anywhere near that despite it being quite useful for him.

He was simply planning to head towards the Dead Faction Territory to complete the evolutionof his hex core and to get rid of that damn insect queen.

Furthermore, if he greatly diminished the power of the ocean races, who would go against the surface for him? His plan was far deeper than just getting rid of the threat named Ocean Oracle!

[Present]

Over a hundred miles away from the Mermaid Faith City, Jacob was sitting cross-legged on his thunder whale and was calmly waiting for his cue.

Despite the ocean's dark surroundings, Jacob was looking in the direction of the Mermaid Faith City.

Right at this moment, Jacob's eyes narrowed when he sensed something in the calm water, 'Did it work?'

The next moment, in the dark surroundings, Jacob saw a white light blooming far away like a rising sun.

"Boommmm…"

The deafening noise could be heard clearly even from this distance, and the white light continued to grow and quickly approached Jacob.

Jacob's lips curled up, 'It's far more powerful than then I've anticipated it to be. I should probably keep my distance. I can feel the incoming shockwaves and heat even from here!'

Under Jacob's command, the thunder whale instantly turned around and fled from the light at full speed. However, the light was too fast and enveloped the thunder whale!
