This reaction made Whiteness’s gaze snap down and then slowly lift back to Jacob, as he knew better than anyone that the hexagon compass’s orientation was unmistakable.
Now, it was pointing directly at Jacob, and the realization crystallized instantly.
"...So, it’s you," Whiteness whispered with startle and murderous certainty intertwining, "the heretic!"
’Heretic?’ Jacob was startled when Whiteness called him "heretic," and his eyes compressed into condensed beams as he couldn’t help but think, ’Is he referring to the Cursed One? Could he be another one of Destin Saint’s minions or related to Immortal Nimrod? How did he find so quickly!?’
His eyes shifted incisively to the hexagonal compass, which was shaking violently in Whiteness’s hand. ’Don’t tell it’s because of that disk!’
Apparently, Jacob was very sensitive to this topic, and with how strange Whiteness was behaving and that peculiar white ’disk’ in his hand, he couldn’t help but connect Whiteness with his enemies.
But what both Jacob and Whiteness hadn’t expected was that the compass wasn’t pointing at Jacob; instead, it was reacting to Autarch, in the body of Lamia Queen, behind him.
Nonetheless, in Whiteness’s mind, everything aligned at that mont, from the impossible concealnt, severed causality, the isolated realm, and finally, the compass’s erratic behavior.
Whiteness has already considered Jacob guilty of heresy against his master, making the latter his target.
On the other hand, Jacob beca extrely wary of Whiteness, but he also knew that this was an opportunity to capture one of the enemy’s minions since he had intruded in the Infinite Space on his own.
Even if Whiteness ended up not being related to Destin Saint or Immortal Nimrod, he might know sothing about the ’Cursed One’ or ’Heretic,’ and that hexagon disk seed to be so kind of guiding treasure.
Without hesitation, Jacob stops holding back and uses his full authority of the Infinite Space to capture Whiteness!
When Whiteness felt that suppression suddenly growing stronger and weighing down on his very being, he beca solemn, for he was not afraid of Jacob, but what he feared was this space.
After all, this realm could suppress a Higher God like him while thoroughly ignoring the cosmic hierarchy.
The most important fact behind Whiteness fear was that this place has severed him from the Supre One’s gaze, making his imagination run wild to extres.
’Soone is helping this Heretic, or rather soone had helped him. But that soone did not show themselves even until now...’ Whiteness’s mind raced, ’A being capable of creating or empowering such a space would not casually expose themselves. But they would also not kill a Higher God lightly. They would be bound by taboos, by unspoken accords like the Supre One.’
Suddenly, Whiteness’s eyes revealed a hint of madness when he thought about how that ’existence’ didn’t directly move to restrain him and probably used this space’s suppression to warn him or tell him that the Heretic was under their protection.
’Even if you are a taboo existence, even if you are capable of evading the Supre One’s gaze...so what!?’ The madness in Whiteness’s eyes grows deeper. ’For the Supre One, I will sacrifice my own!’
In Whiteness’s heart, his own life didn’t matter as long as he could get rid of this Heretic for the Supre One and eliminate this hidden danger.
Furthermore, when Whiteness creates this ’hidden existence’ behind Jacob in his mind, he also considers why such an existence might be hiding in places like the Legendary Plains, and considers various possibilities.
The biggest one being this existence had to be injured or hiding from soone, and if that was the case, then it ans this hidden existence can only use limited power.
This ans he still had a chance!
’If I stalled, I would die. If I spoke, I would lose initiative. If I hesitated, the suppression might deepen. But if I killed the heretic first, this space, no matter how terrifying, might lose its anchor.
’Once I escaped back into the Legendary Plains, this isolated domain would beco a liability rather than a sanctuary, and whoever is hiding here is doing so for a reason. They cannot step openly into the Zodiac Plains...’ Whiteness concluded coldly, ’And if I escape... I live!’
At that mont, his loyalty crystallized as he would die for the Supre One’s will if needed, but not pointlessly, and he would not fail.
Right at that mont, Jacob finally sensed sothing awry, especially when Whiteness remained standing despite his full effort to put him under a seal like his other ’specins’.
Furthermore, he had already connected Whiteness with beings like Immortal Nimrod and Destin Saint, which made him instantly think that he might be another being like the Fateless Celestial.
Without hesitation, Whiteness moved!
Jacob’s eyes trembled violently at that mont, when the white hexagon in Whiteness’s hand shattered into countless fragnts of blinding pallor, each fragnt unfolding into layered sigils that did not radiate power but erased reference.
’He’s not completely suppressed by the Infinite Space, and according to Immortika, only Divine Treasures like the Temple of the Blazing Flas couldn’t be fully suppressed, while the Divine Soulless Pagoda is still considered dangerous because of its artifact spirit, Soulless.
’And since this guy can also move despite the suppression of the infinite space, this ans...’ Jacob’s Eyes of Judge turned profoundly bright as he finally turned serious because he knew what it ant to have such an opponent within the infinite space.
Before, he was full of confidence and was using the infinite space suppression without using any of his own abilities, but now things have changed completely because the opponent was probably above the Quasi-Myth Rank or might even be the Mythical King Rank!
Whiteness also noticed the instant changes in Jacob’s deanor, but it was none of his concern as he had already decided to end this with a single as his childlike form blurred, his presence stretching, folding, expanding as sothing vast and alien stirred beneath the surface.
At that mont, Whiteness gave no warning, or declaration, but only intent, vast and supre, completely outside the realm of mortals.
"Kneel," Whiteness whispered softly, his voice carrying the weight of an execution decree, "and be erased, heretic!"
With that, the Higher God struck, unleashing his attack directly at Jacob, intent on annihilating him before the unseen master of this space could intervene!
