Chapter 429: The White Sun Missile

"Fudge, this madman!"

Nelsen jumped from his calm sitting posture when he saw the White Sun Missile and read its details. It was the first time after many years that he had lost his clam.

"What the hell? If he had such technology, then didn't this mean he could launch these missiles on our regions?!" Andrew exclaimed in horror.

Gunnar was almost in disbelief as his widened eyes were glued on the White Sun Missile, "I-if this weapon is really above epic grade..."

For the first time, Gunnar felt a sense of crisis, and he quickly ordered, "Get Nelsen and Lucy on call!"

Lucy's beautiful eyes were filled with inexplicable terror as she muttered, "Just what kind of shit luck he had to discover this sort of technology? This will cause absolute chaos since no one will be safe... we can't let him live!"

The throne hall was now absolutely silent as the members of the Dark Council were looking at the screen with disbelief.

The Dark Marquise, who was waiting for Jacob's response to his previous condition, was startled as his eyes shimmered with elation and greed.

'Just who in the world are you, Faceless Ancient? Do you have a backer in the Unique Plains? It seems I have to break some rules and contact the Dark Duke!'

"Hahahahaha... you exceed my expectation again!"

Wanton laughter boomed in a state-of-the-art lab filled with high-tech equipment and hundreds of glass tanks filled with test subjects. In the middle of this lab was a tiny figure in a lab coat while a protection of star watch was in front of it.

"If you were a mere thorn in their eyes, now you become an unneglectable mountain. New winds are brewing in the Epic Plains like never before...hahahaha"

Jacob was fully aware of what kind of tremor this revelation would cause in the Epic Plains. Furthermore, people would also be aware of the fact that magic was not as supreme as they thought it was.

Yet despite knowing all this, he still dared to reveal the White Sun Missile. He wanted to achieve two effects with it. The first one was the reevaluation of his status, and the second was the intent behind this technology.

If those guys thought of him as mere prey before, now they would think of him as a predator who can't be taken lightly just because he has no background. In fact, people will start to think he had a backer who was not from the Epic Plains and thought ten times before messing with him.

They will start to treat him like the three leaders of the hegemonies or even higher. Once this was achieved, most of the people would instantly back down, and the threat to him would be greatly decreased.

But once his second objective was achieved, which he knew it would, many possibilities will be open for him.

Just like now, as his inbox flooded with messages after the White Sun Missile was exposed.

But like usual, he didn't bother to reply to any except the Dark Marquise and the Society Killer since those guys were his biggest targets.

"Timeless Dark Tree (Reply): Consider me impress Mr. Ancient. You have my full support. May I ask how many White Sun Missiles you have?"

'How many? Heh, did he think it was a toy? I only made three just in case I encounter some monster in the Star Ocean as a last resort. But after encountering that ogre, I understand my own strength matters the most, and these weapons are only good in the hands of a power to keep each other in check.

'Furthermore, these guys might've not known right now, but there are many methods to render these bombs useless. By the time they will discover them, I will have already exploited them.

'Only this sort of weapon can make them yield and give away the hidden knowledge which will make me stronger while they will be busy creating more of them...' Jacob smiled coldly as thought with amusement.

He was taking full advantage of the Epic Plains' lack of awareness against a nuclear warhead. Furthermore, he was pretty sure that the Alchemy Guild might've been aware of their weakness but refrained from telling the public because of their monopoly on knowledge.

Now that Monopoly was biting them back, he would reap benefits from it big time. So, he replied.

"Faceless Ancient to (Timeless Dark Tree): I'm glad you made your decision. But the White Sun Missile is hard to make. But if you can make an offer I can't refuse, I'll gladly work tirelessly."

Then he opened the society killer's message.

"The Society Killer (Reply): Brother Ancient, how can you hide such a precious toy from your brother? With this, we can annihilate the entire Killer Skull Society without even lifting a finger!"

"Faceless Ancient to (The Society Killer): I've told I'm not a saint. Just made an offer on the post, and we'll talk about it further. Don't waste my time!"

Jacob hadn't demanded some random magic scripture but rare ones which could grant him abilities or help him further research the magic. This was his goal, and he knew only hand full people should have this sort of scripture.

Furthermore, the Water Element wasn't that rare, so it shouldn't be that difficult either, and this would also create an illusion that he was a water element magic user.

A reply instantly came.

"Timeless Dark Tree (Reply): Is that so? I can definitely do that. So, let's discuss the White Sun Missile in the post. I have a Magic Ability Scriptures of the Water element. What do you think?"

'As expected of the Dark City Ruler.' Jacob thought, but an astute smile appeared on his face.

"Faceless Ancient to (Timeless Dark Tree): Instead of making your offering here, please place a bid on the auction post, and if I like, I'll naturally make the exchange. I'm a very fair person, so I would like to give everyone a chance to compete. As for our personal business, let's discuss it after this auction ends!"

At this moment, the second reply came.

"The Society Killer (Reply): Tsk, alright, I have a Water Magic Ability Scripture."

Jacob sneered and copy-pasted the same message he sent to the Dark Marquise and sent it to the Society Killer as well!
