Chapter 688 Jacob’s Scheme!
A day before, Eula entered the Siren Hymn Temple with the head container and sealed scroll.
"So, this is the thing that Star Lord wants to deliver with eight anonymous stars' heads?" Jacob analyzed the gray scroll with a seal on it, but he didn't try to unseal it because he knew he would destroy it without a proper method, and his plan would fail if that happened.
Eula, standing in front of Jacob, replied emotionlessly like a puppet, "Yes. I received this scroll a few days ago through teleportation transportation. I was ordered to hand it over to Anonymous Star No.1 together with my identity, and then I was supposed to leave the Mermaid Faith City and return to the base."
"How interesting. Even Anonymous Star1 wasn't aware of your true identity as Anonymous Star No.10. He was also ordered to deliver this scroll with the heads to the Ocean Oracle and was quite confident that she would personally receive it. And your orders were different before, right?" Jacob asked with a hint of uncertainty.
"Yes, the plan was to sneak into the temple together with Anonymous Star1 when most of the Templars were away and kidnapped the Ocean Oracle. However, Star Lord suddenly changed it." Eula replied truthfully.
Jacob frowned a little as he still didn't understand why the Star Lord made such changes. "This Star Lord really knows how to plant a spy, but I still don't understand what he wanted to achieve by this. The answer probably lies within this scroll, but I can't open it. Well, whatever, since his plan is going to help me, I'm pretty content with it. Go and wait for me to finish my preparation; make sure no one comes to this place."
Eula nodded in agreement before she left Jacob alone in this secret room inside her residence.
"What is your order for me, sir?" Autarch asked who was still inside Anonymous Star No.1's body and standing behind Jacob.
Jacob replied, "For what I'm about to do, Eula would be sufficient. I don't want you to be caught by this, so it won't be long before you have to discard this body as well."Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
"I understand." Autarch didn't ask further questions, became silent, and let Jacob do what he wanted.
'Now, how many bombs would be sufficient to blow up an entire city protected by a three-step legend rank formation?' Jacob thought as he looked at the scroll.
Furthermore, if he greatly diminished the power of the ocean races, who would go against the surface for him? His plan was far deeper than just getting rid of the threat named Ocean Oracle!

[Present]
Over a hundred miles away from the Mermaid Faith City, Jacob was sitting cross-legged on his thunder whale and was calmly waiting for his cue.
Despite the ocean's dark surroundings, Jacob was looking in the direction of the Mermaid Faith City.
Right at this moment, Jacob's eyes narrowed when he sensed something in the calm water, 'Did it work?'
The next moment, in the dark surroundings, Jacob saw a white light blooming far away like a rising sun.
"Boommmm..."
The deafening noise could be heard clearly even from this distance, and the white light continued to grow and quickly approached Jacob.
Jacob's lips curled up, 'It's far more powerful than then I've anticipated it to be. I should probably keep my distance. I can feel the incoming shockwaves and heat even from here!'
Under Jacob's command, the thunder whale instantly turned around and fled from the light at full speed. However, the light was too fast and enveloped the thunder whale!
