Jacob's discussion with Immortika lasted quite a long as there were simply too many things to cover and too many shocks for him to take, especially the truth that he was already within the Path of Legend.
As for how he ended up here or how it happened, he already knew it was Immortika's doing, and the cursed book's true abilities again shocked him. The biggest change was naturally in Cursed Immortality itself. After completing the first phase, not only can Immortika now speak with him, but the previous summoning time limit was removed, which means he can now summon Cursed Immortality any time he wants, and there were no limitations on it.
The second change was also related to Cursed Immortality; the Infinity Pendant's inner space had been increased from 1,000 cubic meters to 10,000 cubic meters, which was nothing but good news for Jacob.
Furthermore, after the first phase, the Infinity Pendant also unlocked a new feature: the Infinite Time Module. The Infinite Time Module can increase or decrease the speed of time for Jacob alone or within the designated area by Jacob. As for the time limit or area radius, there is no limit!
But the crux of the matter was that to use the Infinite Time Module, Jacob needed to fuel it with his own cursed blood!
According to Immortika, he can increase or decrease time by millions for himself or for the entire universe as long as he has the cursed blood to fuel it. Jacob was dumbfounded, as he never thought the infinity pendant was this powerful.
Furthermore, since the infinity pendant was still missing a component, the amount of cursed blood needed to fuel the infinite time module was ten times higher than its original, which made Jacob grimace.
Nonetheless, this function was still extremely useful, depending on how he utilized it. He had already experienced the pros of the time acceleration in the nightmare dreamscape realm.
But it was still not reality, yet now he could do the same thing in reality and more effectively. However, he knew he couldn't utilize this at will since it cost cursed blood, and if he wasn't careful, his lifespan would start to decrease.
All of a sudden, cursed blood became extremely precious for Jacob, and his lifespan became a currency. He had never expected there would come a day when he would treat his lifespan like a currency.
Furthermore, he started to understand why Cursed Immortality was the exclusive scripture that grants Immortality. Without it, no one could utilize cursed immortality's true abilities. Not to mention, there were still eight entire phases left until he could grasp the entire scripture and its power.
Nonetheless, Jacob knew he needed lifespan to utilize his abilities of Cursed Immortality, and Nyx became as important as his life for him. Without her, he knew he would never be able to use those abilities to their full potential.
Once the shock of the cursed immortally settled down, Immortika revealed the next most important thing, which almost made Jacob laugh with mirth, just like Immortika.
It was the evolution of the mysterious and terrifying Fighting Giant Spirit. Since the Fighting Giant Spirit was an aspect directly connected to his soul, after his soul achieved the Spiritual Nebula evolution stage, his Fighting Giant Spirit also followed suit and evolved.
Although the Fighting Giant Spirit's properties and benefits remained the same and only strengthened, like the aspect of Eyes of Judge, it also awoke an innate passive ability called Combat Gigantification.
Combat Gigantification will allow him to manipulate his size by using the Soul Force once each time he uses this ability. By utilizing this ability, he can become as small as 1 meter and as large as 50 meters, which is his actual height, and this limit will continue to grow with his power. The only disadvantage to Combat Gigantification was that the shorter his form, the more limited his power of Fighting Giant Spirit. But Jacob didn't care since he was always annoyed by his height, which was simply too eye-catching in many ways.
After all, he wasn't always in combat, and now that he was fifty meters tall, Jacob knew he would stick out like a sore thumb, which he really wanted to avoid. The gluttony mask was his only option.
However, Gluttony Mask also had its limitations. It didn't allow him to use his true powers as long as he was in disguise. This was a price to pay for a perfect disguise.
But now, with Combat Gigantification, he didn't need to always be in disguise, and fighting giant spirit wasn't his main source of power at all. After all, Jacob knew he could crush Quasi Legends like ants because of how powerful he had become.
Other than the Fighting Giant Spirit, his Eyes of Judge were also strengthened, and according to Immortika, they were now on the verge of breaking through into the Intermediate Awakening stage. As for when it was going to happen, he didn't give any clues except that they were directly related to his soul, and it was enough to make Jacob form his own guess. His other abilities also existed, but most of them had become useless, especially all those aspects he acquired in his early days.
The only useful abilities he was left with were the Mortal Danger Sense from the Infant Mortal Giant and the Fluid Acceleration from Bloodstorming Bug, which he had with him since the very beginning.
After sorting out everything and getting all the information from Immortika that he could for the time being, Jacob closed the cursed book. He sighed deeply while looking at the ethereal scenery around him.
Suddenly, his flaming eyes compressed into two flaming dots as he was focusing on something deep within, searching for a certain feeling.
Soon, something magical happened. A vague mystical symbol suddenly appeared on Jacob's forehead, and the next moment, Jacob's gigantic body started to shirk in size until he was only two meters tall, and the symbol on his forehead vanished.
Now, he was standing in a crater of his own footprint. Seeing that the Combat Gigantification worked after he followed his instincts just as Immortika told him, Jacob was elated. He finally felt like he was no longer an attention-drawing clown.
Yet Jacob also felt a part of his power diminished after decreasing his size so much, but he was still left with about 80% of his strength, which was still too much for any quasi-legend. The next moment, clothes appeared on his skeleton body. Although they were old from the time when he wasn't a giant, he still kept them. Not to mention, anything below legendary rank was nothing but ordinary treasure for him, so he wasn't too bothered about them. Besides, he can always modify his unique rank clothes so it was a big deal at all.
Looking around the hill, Jacob decided to create a small cave for himself because he still needed to do something before he started his journey in the Path of Legend!
