Chapter 676: I Need Her Gone!

After Jacob organized all the information he had received from Autarch, he didn't look very pleased. In fact, he suddenly felt a foreboding feeling because of the mysterious Ocean Oracle's presence.

The Ocean Oracle's involvement in the Legendary Key's matter was a huge variable that Jacob hadn't even considered before. He was even compelled to summon Cursed Immortality and asked if it was possible to pinpoint the legendary key or his location through this mysterious power.

But first, he decided to deal with those remaining eight anonymous stars because not only was it an opportunity to greatly reduce the Star Hackers' prowess, but he hadn't found eight Beyond Unique Rank beings' blood together this easily.

However, it wasn't easy either since they didn't easily meet. There wasn't any good reason since they could do everything through calls and private networks.

They have their own secret network called the Anarchy Network, which is like the Star Network but not as powerful. However, it was still powerful enough to maintain its privacy from the Star Network for a very long time and go against it to some extent.

The black technology they controlled was all done through this network, and there were even authority levels like the Star Network for different ranking members. For security purposes, they only contacted each other through the Anarchy Network and weren't allowed to share their private Star IDs with each other.

This rule was not just for the high-ranking members but for the entire organization. Lastly, what interested Jacob was the Star Hackers' private database of black technology, hidden information, blueprints, and other secret knowledge gathered on the Anarchy Network.

"Since they're going to retreat after causing trouble for the Siren Hymn Temple, we can assume the remaining eight are up the same thing that this guy was doing, right?" Jacob in a neutral tone.

"Yes, sir. Anonymous1 was the one who told Dewey about their retreat, and he seems to have encouraged this massive destruction. He seems to hate the ocean races," Autarch replied.

A faint glimmer flashed past Jacob's eyes as he nodded in understanding, "Then we can assume that despite not having an absolute leader among them except for the elusive Star-Lord, they all still trust Anonymous1 as their leader to some extent.

"So, if we can hunt down Anonymous1, approaching the rest of them will be easy and even easier to ambush them. Alright, we'll go after Anonymous1 first.

"Try contacting him and telling him you've discovered a very important secret of the Ocean Oracle and can only tell him that upon meeting. Make it as believable as possible. If you sense he's getting suspicious, don't push too hard.

"After all, they still don't know Dewey is dead because you are replacing him. But when you changed your body, the Anarchy Network would instantly discover his death and alert the others.

"So, we're looking to turn him into a puppet first before that special Anarchy Signature vanishes completely. When we're discovered, we can make it look like the Ocean Oracle schemed against them and killed them all. Let's see if we can find trouble for this Ocean Oracle.

"I need her gone! She's too dangerous to remain alive," Jacob coldly ordered, as he had already put the Ocean Oracle on top of his killing list. He didn't dare be careless with the Legendary Key since calamity would await him if others found out about the key's whereabouts.

Furthermore, he was also worried that the Star Hackers would be discovered about his immunity to the Oath Contract since he had signed a Zodiac Oath Contract with them when he tricked them in the Dark City to avert their attention to the dead Free Sword.

This might be a huge blunder and even more dangerous if others got hold of this information. That's also why he wanted to cause chaos among the Star Hackers so they wouldn't be bothered by the legendary key's matter anymore!

Autarch nodded in acknowledgment and started to prepare by activating the Anarchy Watch, which was actually a modified version of the Star Watch by the Star Hackers.

Although they couldn't fully grasp the technology behind the Star Watch, they were still able to modify it using their technology, which had been built upon countless trials and failures.

While Autarch was about to lay a trap for Anonymous Star No.1, Jacob fell into deep contemplation, 'It seems the Unique Plains won't give up on the Legendary Key so easily, especially since the time is continuing to be shortened.

'If there are hidden Quasi Legend Rank experts hidden among these organizations, as I suspected after encountering the Dark Battle Arena, then it's quite possible that they are already searching for it.

'I'm not sure where I stand against a Quasi Legend Rank expert with my current, but I might only be able to escape, not fight them head-on. My only trump card against them is the Planet Destroyer, but it also comes with a huge cost...

'Then there are the ocean races. I don't know where they stand when it comes to Legendary Key. Although I've never found any information regarding the Legendary Key among countless victims of ocean races, the presence of Ocean Oracle changed everything.

'Since the Star Hackers had already approached her, she already knew about the Legendary Key's existence, but for some reason, she refused their request. It's either because she wasn't interested or because she didn't want to give it to others after finding out about it.

'Then there is also a faint chance that the Ocean Oracle can't predict the location, or it comes with a steep price she wasn't willing to pay. No matter the reason, she must be dealt with. I can't leave a variable like her alone, and I need to hasten my pace of longevity schema.

'Since that's the case...' Jacob's eyes flashed with a chilly light, and a runic plate appeared in his hand.

Dewey held the same runic plate when Jacob barged in on him; Autarch had already handed everything in Dewey's space ring to Jacob.

The runic plate began to shimmer at his moment as Jacob thought, 'I only need blood, and this little scheme of Star Hackers just happened to be aligned with my needs!'
