Cursed Immortality-Chapter 826 Universal Godly Artifacts! (2)
Chapter 826 Universal Godly Artifacts! (2)
"Hahaha… artifacts like Infinity Pendant? Although you're right about the part that every scripture has its own artifact, you're wrong about every scripture having the same type of artifact or at the same level.
"Universal Godly Artifacts are unique, just like their scriptures, and each has different abilities and functions. Only when united with their scriptures can Universal Godly Artifacts reach their full potential and showcase their entire capabilities!
"As for your second question, you are again wrong because every Universal Godly Artifact will return its scripture in one way or another, and there is nothing stopping it.
"Because someone can only snatch away or separate a Universal Godly Artifact from its scripture if there is no inheritor and both the scripture and artifact are in their dormant state.
"But even then, the artifact will always end up with the scripture by countless coincidences; it's also one of the wonders of the Zodiac Plains. However, this process will be intensified once a scripture has an inheritor because not only can the scripture sense the presence of its Universal Godly Artifact, but the inheritor will also have a high chance of stumbling on it or somehow ending up close to it.
"Still, in the end, it's up to the inheritor's capability to snatch it back from whoever has it. But I can assure you that no one can see through the Universal Godly Artifact's dormant form unless someone has the information about it beforehand or the inheritor is an idiot and ends up revealing it. "Lastly, if the inheritor can cultivate the scripture to a certain level, they will also gain the ability to sense the Universal Godly Artifact and also have a higher chance of ending up close to it or even directly acquiring it back!" Immortika explained with a roguishness.
Jacob was silent, as this information was quite huge. He never expected there would be such a massive secret behind the Universal Godly Artifacts. He suddenly felt glad that he got the Infinity Pendant with Immortika, or he would be in the same position as the inheritor of Chaotic Darkness.
But at this moment, something suddenly came into his mind as he asked, "Then how did the infinity pendant lose two components? Shouldn't it be indestructible like the scripture, even if it's in its dormant state?"
"Hehehe, you are half right this time. You see, the scripture is indestructible no matter what form; the same goes for the Universal Godly Artifacts. However, if the Universal Godly Artifacts are separated from its scripture and taken away to a very, very long distance away from it, there is a possibility of breaking them.
"But only breaking them, not destroying them since once the scripture gains an inheritor, they can be mended back as long as their parts are found and pieced together.
"However, not just any random wannabe can break a Universal Godly Artifact, and there are consequences for such action. Even if someone of that level is bored enough to try it, the most they can do is to break it into two or three parts.
"Now, you should be able to guess what happened with the Infinity Pendant. But still, only the most unimportant parts of the infinity pendant were dislocated, not the pendant itself.
"But I can't tell you the entire story since I'll be revealing too much, but you'll understand once you acquire the last component of the infinity pendant," Immortika dismissively stated, as if revealing something trifled.
But Jacob was still absorbing all this astonishing information, so he didn't pay any attention to the tone of the cursed book. Still, he got many answers to some of the most perplexing questions.
However, Jacob wasn't satisfied. He asked, "This still does not explain the Zodiac Wisps' reactions unless this has something to do with scripture with its Universal Godly Artifact as well? Furthermore, you seemed to know that woman's presence even before I encountered her. Don't tell me all the scriptures, united with their Universal Godly Artifacts, can do the same thing.
"If it's true, then doesn't this mean that some inheritor with both Universal Godly Artifact and scripture will also be able to detect me, especially if they are far more powerful than me?"
Although this conversation started with Jacob's doubts, now that he knew the truth, he was concerned since he knew the more he grew, the higher the chances of encountering another inheritor of a Universal Godly Scripture. He didn't think he would always be lucky enough to run into the inheritor of Universal Godly Scriptures who didn't have their Universal Godly Artifacts.
Even though Jacob knew the chances of this happening were extremely low, almost close to none, after all, there are only nine scriptures and nine artifacts. He already had one, and he now knew who had another one, but there were still seven left.
Even if there were only the slightest chance of this happening, Jacob would always have to look over his shoulders.
"Hahahaha… I've already told you about the Zodiacs; you'll know when the times come. As for how I know about her presence, hehehehe… it's because you have precisely the Universal Godly Artifact of that scripture on you!
"So, I can detect its corresponding scripture the moment it comes into my range of detection! It is another ability of a Universal Godly Scripture united with its Universal Godly Artifact! Hahahahaha!" Immortika burst into a laughter filled with mirth and hidden mockery.
"WHAT?!" Jacob's calm expression instantly changed when he heard this unexpected answer. He thought Immortika was joking, but he knew the cursed book didn't need to lie about something like this.
Jacob's mind instantly raced as he started to think of every unusual treasure in his possession, and at this moment, the flames in his hallow sockets instantly flared intensely.
"Which one is it? That pendant I got from Sebastian's body or the Gluttony Mask?" Jacob asked with a hint of agitation.
He could only think about these two mysterious treasures, especially the pendant he got from Sebastian's body, which can't be stored in ordinary space treasure. The Gluttony Mask was also very strange since it could grow without limit and had a terrifying ability of disguise that could fool even Star Network. "Hahahaha, of course, it's the Gluttony Mask. It's in its dormant state, or you can say in its deteriorated state since it's not the inheritor of its corresponding scripture.
"But the moment you make it acknowledged you as its master, its scripture knew. But it's still loyal to only its scripture, and the moment you entered the Path of Legend and entered a specific range, it tried to send an invisible signal.
"If it were another else, they wouldn't be able to feel it, but you did, and your will is still stronger than the Gluttony Mask, and you have me, so you can easily suppress it in due time. But the scripture should've already known about its presence in the Path of Legend.
"And as you've experienced, you still ended up meeting with the inheritor of that scripture. If not for my presence with the infinity pendant and your strong will, that scripture would've already sensed it on you and can even claim it back after establishing a connection!"
Jacob trembled ever so slightly as he finally understood everything. He didn't know if he was feeling rage or relief at this moment because he never expected the Gluttony Mask that he had acquired from the Vile Witch's layer to have such a background.
Furthermore, from what Immortika revealed, he could guess that even the Vile Witch didn't know the Gluttony Mask was actually one of the most powerful treasures in existence or that no matter how terrifying and vile the mask was, she should've never abandoned it!
But the thing was, now, this wasn't the Vile Witch's problem but his, and he cursed, "Bastard! You're only telling me something so important now!?! Shouldn't you have told me this since the beginning?!"
"Hahahahaha… I can't tell you something like this unless you meet certain conditions. Furthermore, even if you knew, would you have given up on the Gluttony Mask and abandoned it?
"After all, despite not being in its true form, it is still a one-of-a-kind treasure that can fool anyone but its scripture. Furthermore, as long as your will is stronger than the mask and the power difference between your scripture and that inheritors won't change to a certain degree, it will never escape your grasp.
"So, let me ask you, are you still going to abandon it? Because if you did, you'd only be gifting power to counter you to your potential enemy! Hahahahahaha!"
