Chapter 586 End of the Rope
"Captain Free Sword, surrender, and I'll spare your vain life!"
Jacob was startled when he heard that familiar name, and all of a sudden, it was like an explosion had gone off in his head, and he comprehended something.
"Shit, I was careless!" He cussed, but he didn't have time to mull over his mistake as he could sense a terrifying presence locked on him, and he felt life-threatening pressure engulfing him.
This gloomy pressure was even more threatening than the danger he was feeling from the swarm of ghost insects. He knew by the time the flying ship reached its full speed, it would be too late.
So, without hesitation, he stowed away the entire ship, and his heart began to accelerate at an alarming rate. As veins bulged on his entire body, his skin turned red, and the smock began to rise.
It was his first time using 70X acceleration after gaining a tier-9 unique physique. Although it was too energy-consuming, he knew it wasn't the time to hold back. He had made a fatal mistake in his calculation, and now the enemy leader had locked on his position, so he had to run as fast as possible.
"Still dare to resist? Hmph, do you think my dead empire is a place where you can come and go as you please?" Necro's disdainful cold voice reverberated in the entire dead faction territory.
"Death Imprison!"
Just as his voice trailed off, the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain in the center of the faction suddenly began to shimmer in a dark glow, and a dark streak pillar shot toward Jacob directly from the top, piercing anything in its way.
"Shooting Star!" Jacob's fine hair stood in alarm as he quickly used a fire-type ability to accelerate his descent further; he wanted to enter the sea!
His giant body suddenly lit up in green flames, and his speed increased tremendously as he appeared just like a shooting star from afar.
However, the sense of danger still didn't lessen, and without hesitation, a teleportation talisman appeared in his hand, and he quickly activated it.
But to his horror, the talisman didn't react at all and remained listless like an ordinary paper.
'Space sealing barrier?!' Jacob instantly thought of this possibility, and he knew he was like a trap fish now.
So, now he was forced to take drastic measures, and at this moment, Jacob felt like a chilly air was approaching him, and darkness was suddenly engulfing his entire figure. The dark streak pillar was inches away from making contact, and the green fire aura around it vanished the moment it came in contact with that dark pillar.
Throwing caution to the winds, a thirty-meter-long purple missile appeared right behind Jacob and directly smashed into the dark pillar.
However, the dark pillar was corporeal, and it didn't seem to have any destructive properties; instead, it was like a dark prison, and the moment the atomic missile clashed with it, the pillar directly absorbed it, and the missile remained in its initial position within the dark pillar.
Yet, the pillar never stopped moving since its real target was Jacob, and Necro was controlling it. Jacob thought that the missile would automatically blast once it got connected with the pillar, yet nothing like that happened.
Still, it wasn't like he couldn't trigger it manually. He had already prepared for such an occasion, and the star watch on his wrist suddenly stirred, and a virtual remote control appeared.
In these past few years, Jacob has managed to take a step further into combining his world's technology with this world's technology. Although he wasn't at that level where he could create magic guns that shot atomic bullets, he had learned to utilize the Star Watch to his advantage.
It wasn't just a tool for communication or business. The Star Watch was filled with wonderful tools, and it also gave others the freedom to create their own tools for their advantage as long as they didn't touch the bottom line of the Star network like the dark technology of ATLAS.
Furthermore, Jacob has to thank those two siblings from the ATLAS for this breakthrough in the path of virtual technology because he got some secret notes from the ATLAS in their space rings. With Nyx's help, he was able to devolve this simple algorithm that could control the weapons made by him and trigger them remotely on the Star Watch.
Although virtual reality and robotics weren't his fields of expertise, the anti-missile, target trackers, and weapon controllers needed such knowledge so they could be installed into weapons.
Jacob wasn't just satisfied with creating the shell; he had learned everything about advanced weaponry. Now, he was doing the same here. Although he was still nowhere near the end, he was at least at the starting line.
While controlling the star watch with his mind, it only took a second before the missile was manually triggered.
The static missile within the dark pillar suddenly released a mechanical beep, and the next moment, the entire missile trembled before a sliver of purple-white ray appeared, and the next moment, it instantly began to boom like a blooming flower.
The dark pillar that was about to touch Jacob's windbreaker suddenly halted, and the next moment, it was enveloped by purple-white light. However, this light wasn't gentle; it was far from it. Instead, it was terrifyingly hot, like lava.
Jacob's expression was solemn, with his 70X acceleration, everything appeared slow motion in his view when he saw that light approaching him, he knew the missile has been successfully exploded.
The good news was with its help the dark pillar was stopped, and he will be able to escape the clutching of the Dead Faction Leader. But the bad news was, he knew just how terrifying this missile was; it was even more terrifying than the Blue X-Sun Missile!
With the experiment field like the Dreamscape Nightmare Realm, Jacob finally had the freedom to do mad experiments without being worried about killing himself. While training Nyx, he also tried creating more powerful atomic weapons by combining magic materials with the properties of radioactive waves.
In his experiment, he finally found a unique grade mineral in Captain Free Sword's stash called the Berserker Stone, which was highly violent in nature and could cause a blast upon throwing it with powerful force.
After processing using his unique method, he was finally able to extract its properties, and he found that it was slightly more powerful than plutonium. He then found the golden ratio and mixed it with the plutonium, and the results were disastrously good.
It was the most powerful bomb Jacob had created in both lives and to turn it into a reality, Jacob needed eight months to create just this one missile. And it was his biggest trump card in unique plains; he also hoped he never had to use it, especially if he was in its range of blast.
But now, he was forced into a corner, and he knew if he didn't use it, he might really die or meet an even more miserable end.
As the blinding purple-white light touched the windbreaker, it instantly incinerated the unique grade material it was made. At this moment, Jacob finally reached the sea and entered the water.
Although he couldn't outrun the speed of light, he wasn't going to wait to turn into ashes and use every type of barrier, treasure, and armor he had. He activated one of the most powerful life-saving water spirit-type abilities he got from the Captain Free Sword collection.
