Chapter 240 The ‘Thrall’

The information completely gobsmacked Jacob, as he knew it was simply too ridiculous for his luck to be this crazy. But the fact was right in front of his eyes, and he truly wanted it to be true.

'If this Brain Hunter really is Eclipse Alipes Imhoff, then I can have a rank-9 fantastic insect at my complete disposal if this array works.' Jacob's eyes shimmered in ecstasy.

The Eclipse Alipes Imhoff was something he acquired accidentally from Decker, who had used it to control Pig Head's corpse.

After he got the information about it from Immortika, he didn't dare to use it since the method to control it was simply too shallow, and it might come back to bite him if he was careless.

So, to this day, the Eclipse Alipes Imhoff was always in his infinity pendant, and he almost forgot about it because he was busy raising his prowess.

However, now that he has seen this sketch and its familiar name, he can't ignore it because a fantastic insect was simply too terrifying, and if he could tame one, it would be a frightening trump card.

But he needed to clarify it first, and he knew only one thing could help him.

"Cursed Immortality!" Jacob coldly uttered, and the next moment the book appeared.

Without waiting, he said, "You already know what I want to ask you? Just give me a straight answer. Is what I'm guessing true or not?"

Jacob knew Immortika's antics, and if it didn't want to reveal information, he was simply helpless.

Even if he got nothing, he was still going to try his luck by performing this ritual; it was simply not worth passing over.

"Hahahaha… what a turn. I never thought you would get your hands on something like this. Of course, since you already discovered the true background of Eclipse Alipes Imhoff, then I can't deny it."

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Jacob's eyes shimmered with ecstasy when Immortika confirmed it.

He inhaled sharply before he said, "So, this is really a rank-9 fantastic insect, and what about the legend? Is any of these legends true?"

"Now, now, aren't we getting ahead of ourselves? But I will still answer this question. The information in this book is 10% correct and 90% assumption. No one had ever seen the top 100 rank fantastic insects.

"Especially the ones in the top 10, those ten are simply myths, and there are various debates about whether they are even real.

"But they do exist. It's just that their traces had been nigh impossible to find, and they mostly died the moment they were born since it was too difficult for them to survive. They are born even more fragile than insects in the top 11 to 100.

"However, if by some heaven-defying chances even one of them survived, hehehe, trust me, you don't want to know what kind of despair they will bring on a cosmic level.

"But these existences are very, very far from you, and knowing about them will do you nothing but give you nightmares. As for the Eclipse Alipes Imhoff's actual rank in Fantastic Insects is 18th. And this is all the information you will get from me."

Jacob inhaled coldly as he was really astonished reading all this unimaginable information.

He didn't ask more since he knew he wouldn't be entertained anymore. Just this much information was quite generous of Immortika to divulge when it could simply remain shut.

'It seemed as long as I know about the basic of some information, Immortika can answer me about it.' He thought since it was quite apparent now.

But it still remained to see if his conjecture was true or not.

He asked something else, "Then, can this ritual array really tame Brain Hunter indefinitely?"

Truth be told, he was no longer confident anymore after reading Immortika's reply. Since this book wasn't completely accurate, then there is no way in hell he would believe that the ritual array was accurate as well.

So, what if he had the Brain Hunter? He didn't dare to try to nurture it unless he was absolutely sure if it was under his absolute control.

If there were even the tiniest bit of chance that it would turn on him, he would rather kill it than let it become its enemy who knows about him and probably Immortika as well.

Because Pig Head had seen everything that had happened in Decker's lab, and there was no way in hell, he would let anyone knows about it. Cursed Immortality's existence outmatched anything in Jacob's eyes.

Even the 1st Rank Fantastic Insect!

"Hehehe… at least you're not greedy, I must say. Despite getting your hands on such a rare opportunity, you are still ration enough to fight the urge to gain control of a Fantastic Insect.

"Tell me, do you remember the piece of information that I gifted you for completing the second level of Cursed Heart Emergence?"

Jacob squinted his eyes because of this sudden question, but he still replied as he could tell Immortika was implying something, "You told me to 'Nurture Alice into a star-level being,' what about it?"

"Hahahaha… my exact words were, 'Nurture that thrall of yours into a star-level being!' I never said 'Alice!'"

Jacob's eyes instantly dilated as he would be imbecilic if he still didn't understand.

He blurted, "You were telling me to nurture Brain Hunter, not Alice! Fuck!"

Immortika's laugh filled the entire page as if it was extremely pleased with Jacob's blunder.

Jacob's expression was also quite ugly since he knew he was right, 'How could I not think of this? Alice wasn't even in my complete control at that time, and the only 'thrall' I have been actually Brain Hunter. But I simply didn't think too deeply about this and believed what was in front of me. I should've known better to think that this book could put a weak human in its eye.'

"Stop laughing, you could've simply told me straight, and I wouldn't have wasted so much time. Well, knowing you, if I hadn't gotten my hands on this book, you might've still not going to make it clear, right? So, tell me, what changed it?"

Jacob's eyes went sharp as he looked at Cursed Immortality without blinking, waiting for its answer!
