In a dark, secluded area of the deep ocean, a cloak giant figure wearing a unique oxygen mask appeared, riding an ocean beast resembling a seahorse.
But unlike a typical seahorse, this one has huge wings like glowing fines and there was a large horn on its head. This was a Winged Bullet Horse of the Siren Hymn Temple, which used to travel under the ocean, just the Whales of the Mighty Whale Empire.
The giant figure controlled the Winged Bullet Horse and stopped in this area after looking at the marked location on his star watch. He then sent a message and waited.
Thereupon, another white Winged Bullet Horse appeared, and riding it was a tall, cloaked figure wearing the same type of equipment as the waiting giant.
"Anonymous5, I came here as soon as I got the chance. You should understand that I was busy with my region." The giant finally spoke with a chuckle, clearly in a good mood for some reason.
Anonymous Star No.5, Dewey, who was none other than Autarch, nodded and replied with a contemptuous sneered, "Heh, I know, Anonymous1, since I was doing the same thing, and I have to admit, it was damn satisfying!"
"Hahahaha!" Anonymous Star1 burst into wanton laughter, very happy with Dewey's reply, and said, "Indeed, we can't just leave those bastards alone after wasting years of our efforts. Anyway, we can talk about this later; first, tell me what you get on the Ocean Oracle. And you did well to contact me right away since we can be able to claim more credit if we capture or kill that arrogant bitch!"
"Heh, that's what I had in mind as well. Since I have your words, I can rest assured. The thing I found out about the ocean oracle…" Dewey started to talk, and Anonymous Star1 listened attentively.
But right at this moment, Anonymous Star1's hidden expression suddenly changed as a sense of crisis overwhelmed him.
"Boom!"
But he was too slow because by the time he realized that something was amiss, a glowing bullet appeared out of nowhere and hit his spin. His armor was pierced, and then an explosion occurred!
Anonymous Star1 was sent flying, and his Winged Bullet Horse was startled and instantly ran away!
About fifty miles away from Autarch and Anonymous Star1's position, Jacob retrieved the huge sniper riffle lit in runic lines into his armor finger ring, and his eyes turned back to normal.
He chuckled coldly, "Despite the water pressure, the Quantum Rifle is still working fine, and I'm not even using the Quantum Bullets yet. However, some minor adjustments in space runes are still required that I can use to improve it slightly. Nonetheless, even a perfect stage beyond unique ranker couldn't dodge it!"
Jacob calmly analyzed this form of the Planet Destroyer and took a few mantle notes to improve its performance further. Nevertheless, he was still very satisfied with it and quickly headed towards Anonymous Star1 and Autarch's position.
Anonymous Star1's entire armor was cracked as blood, and his charred flesh tainted the surrounding water. He was too wounded to be worried about what had just transpired, but he was aghast and fearful nonetheless.
After all, he never imagined that something like a single bullet could approach him, much less pierce through his defenses and almost kill him. However, what he didn't know was that if he weren't at the perfect stage beyond the unique rank aura expert, he wouldn't even be alive right now.
However, he was still alive and conscious, which showed just how treacherous his physical body and will is. But Jacob also knew that a single Atomic Bullet wasn't enough to kill a Beyond Unique Rank expert, and he only used one because he needed him alive.
Autarch moved according to plan. Once Jacob destroyed the armor around Anonymous Star1, and Anonymous Star1 was still in a weak state of absolute shock and pain, Autarch used the puppet poison magic to turn him into his puppet.
This part was crucial since if they let him die, the Star Hackers would know it, and then Jacob couldn't hunt the rest of them. The puppets created by Autarch were essentially alive, but they no longer had their own will unless they could escape from his range, and this much was enough to spell the Anonymous Stars' certain doom, and it would be a circle blow to Star Hackers as a whole.
Because of Anonymous Star1's current state, no matter how strong his will or physical strength, he couldn't resist Autarch's magic, and soon, the painful whimpers coming out of his mouth stopped.
Jacob, riding his thunder whale, also appeared at this moment. After seeing the blood in the water, he didn't waste it and absorbed it all. Speaking of which, after gathering blood in the Holy Polaris Region, his cursed blood was filled, and even beyond that, for his runic lines were glowing in crimson color now.
He noticed that no matter the amount of blood, the runic lines on his bones could store any amount of it. At least, he still didn't know their current limits. The more cursed blood he condensed and stored in those runic lines, the more brilliant their glow.
But it also had disadvantages, as he always needed to hide them, or he would be like a glowing beacon in the darkness, and this annoyed him just as much as his giant height. Yet he had no choice in this matter and needed to wait until he awakened his mystic signature to use the Gluttony Mask.
Jacob looked at the Anonymous Star1, who was a 29-meter-
tall giant, even more gigantic than Jacob, and he mused that it might have something to do with his power rank since a giant's height was directly related to his prowess.
He also felt relief since his height had stopped increasing after he started the longevity scheme, no matter how much his power grew, or he might be the same size as this guy.
"Sir, he's a puppet now," Autarch spoke with telepathy at this moment.
Jacob nodded before he ordered, "Now, use him to draw the rest of the Anonymous Stars here one by one, and we'll follow the same plan. Oh, and ask him if he knew anything about the Ocean Oracle that the other Anonymous Stars did not."
Autarch was about to follow his command when Anonymous Star1, who was now healing because Autarch allowed him to use the healing liquid, suddenly said in an emotionless tone, "Master, Star Lord is contacting me!"
Jacob's eyes narrowed with a hint of surprise. "Tell him to take it and act normal, and have him use the open voice function. I want to hear everything!"
