Cursed Immortality
chapter-762

Jacob had no idea what was going on, but he sure did know that whatever was behind this blackout and this ghastly pressure was not to trifle with, and he suddenly remembered Miss 70,469's words.

Without hesitation, Jacob raised his arms to shatter the barrier, but to his shock, the pressure completely locked him in his place. At this moment, something strange happened when he was about to ask Immortika.

"This is not something you can handle yet. Stay still and use the mask while you have the chance. Oh, and don't use your powers-it was nice knowing you, hehehehe!"

The cursed book in front of him had already vanished, leaving behind its eerie laughter, making Jacob horrified. He knew there was only one kind of existence Immortika had shown this attitude towards.

'Is it related to Zodiac Will?!' Jacob thought while grimacing as a chill ran down his spine.

Although there was no one to answer him, he knew things were terrible, and someone had provoked the Zodiac Will or something equally terrifying entity. But he quickly suppressed his unease and did as Immortika told him before bailing out on him, probably to protect him or himself, he didn't know.

He stops the fluid acceleration and instantly activates the Gluttony Mask, which already has an appearance saved in it. The next moment, Jacob's giant body quickly morphs as his height starts to decrease from 20 meters to 2'1 meters, and his aura completely changes from monstrous to mortal of a Peak Unique Rank. Even his star watch was switched with another.

Furthermore, he tried to hide his presence even more, however, as he does, the pressure increased tremendously, and he quickly falls on his knees and even felt like losing his consciousness, but for some reason he couldn't and only endure.

At this moment, within the darkness, an ethereal golden eye suddenly snapped open, revealing endless strings of shifting stars within. Everything seemed to come to a standstill. It was completely emotionless as if a God was watching mortals.

Not only that, but the moment this starry golden eye gazed locked on where Jacob was kneeling, the invisible barrier ripped apart, turning into dust particles, revealing Golden Constant-51,117 and Asher's figures within.

But it was just the start, as the runic cube maintaining the barrier instantly turned to dust, followed by the altar, and the Soul Serving Formation also vanished from existence.

Golden Constant-51,117 was barely standing while trembling like a grass blade in a hurricane. Even he couldn't look towards the eye. But what shocked him most was 'Jacob,' who was giving off completely different vibes. He knew this guy was fully capable of enduring this pressure, yet there he was pretending to be a weakling, making Golden Constant-51,117 livid. Nonetheless, he didn't have time to pay Jacob any heed as he knew all escape routes were closed, so he chose to save his life before the eye saw through his origin.

"T...T-Time... Refresh!" He was barely able to utter and activate his biggest trump.

The golden frame hourglass suddenly appeared behind it and started to revolve as the golden sand in it vanished.

At this moment, the eye finally locked on Golden Constant-51,117, and the pressure on him increased thousands of times, breaking his bones and pinning him to the ground, clearly an attempt to stop him.

But alas, despite the eye's action, the hourglass phantom remained untouched as it revolved strongly, releasing powerful undulations as if it didn't exist in the same time and space as them.

"A.T.L.A.S!" An Ethereal voice boomed, filled with murderous intent, reverberating like thunder in the darkness and buzzing everyone's heads.

Jacob, who was having it the hardest because of his power drop, was the most shocked when he heard that name. He was in utter disbelief since he knew there was nothing like hourglass freaks in the ATLAS or that the information he had from the anonymous stars was worthless.

Furthermore, he was shocked that even that unfathomable eye knew about ATLAS, which could only mean their roots were far deeper than he had anticipated. Moreover, the moment that hourglass appeared, Jacob felt a strong pull from his cursed heart, unlike the previous attractions. There was clearly something unique about this person's hourglass from the others.

But Jacob didn't dare try anything. He quickly suppressed his heart without holding it because it would show his ability or might expose him entirely.

The eye clearly didn't pay the Unique Ant any heed, as Golden Constant-51,117 had drawn its full attention. At this moment, the dark ethereal mist suddenly came towards the revolving cloak from all directions like a tilde wave.

The space around the hourglass phantom shattered like glass as the dark mist completely engulfed it.

At this moment, Golden Constant-51,117 finally felt the fear of death as he knew that if he didn't do anything, even if he would be revived, that entity would leave behind an unshakable mark on his very soul and at that time, he would never able to live in peace and died no matter how many lives he had.

So, he used his last reserve, and a tiny hourglass appeared under his clenched grip. He shattered it while issuing a command through his thoughts, 'I sacrifice my Timeless City Lord status, Silver Timeless Sand, and Bronze Timeless Sand to Timeless God! Please make your followers escape this plight!'

Suddenly an ethereal voice rang in reply, "Not Enough!"

Golden Constant-51,117 was shocked. He was almost giving up everything, and he needed the Iron Timeless Sand to revive, so he absolutely couldn't give up his final life.

But he didn't have any time, as he could feel the dark mist about to touch his hourglass, which was actually his soul.

Gritting his teeth, he decided to choose his life and roared, "I'm willing to share all my memories of this life; there are clues about a Sacred Scripture or Sacred Artifact in them! No, in fact, the person in question is right before me!"

This time, something happened. Golden Constant-51,117 felt a foreign power suddenly gripping his mind before it completely overtook it and caused him to lose consciousness. He didn't expect this kind of outcome at all, but he was helpless to fight against this foreign

power.

"Riveting..."

At this moment, Golden Constant-51,117 mingled body, which was pinned on the ground, suddenly enveloped in an ethereal white light and started to regenerate under it.

The eye suddenly trembled when it sensed something completely impossible, and the dark mist came to a standstill.

The white light around Golden Constant-51,117's body got brighter and appeared like a white sun in the darkness.

The ethereal voice rang again, but this time, it was filled with disbelief. "Impossible!"

Just as its voice trailed off, Golden Constant-51,117 suddenly opened his completely white eyes. His body slowly started to float, completely ignoring the pressure!
