Nyx's expression finally changed when she heard 'Faceless Ancient.' She became aghast. Long Nose's smile widened as she finally felt satisfied with Nyx's expression.
However, Long Nose couldn't have imagined that Nyx's fear wasn't because of Long Nose; it was for an entirely different reason.
"Y-you…how could you have hacked my Star ID?! It's a three-star privilege star ID!" Nyx looked at Long Nose with an appalled look in her eyes, still finding this unbelievable.
"Oh, don't worry. We didn't hack your ID; we just stole some information. Acquiring your friend list is very easy. As long as we have your Star ID and someone in your friend list is one of ours, we can gain access to your friend list.
"If your ID were hacked, would I have to go through all this trouble to ruin my own account by using the Spirit Ripper Formation? But it all seemed worth it. Not only do you know about the Throne of Death before anyone else could figure it out, but you also have ties with this Faceless Ancient.
"You know, once I started investigating this Faceless Ancient, the information I got was unbelievable. The earliest traces we have of this Faceless Ancient are in the weakest region of the Lesser Plains.
"So, even an idiot could tell that there was something wrong with this Faceless Ancient because he literally turned from an ant to a calamity within mere decades since his appearance.
"Furthermore, the Star Lord had personally witnessed the terror of this Faceless Ancient, and the Star Lord also believed that one of our leaders in the Lesser Galaxies, who suddenly met with his 'END', was also related to this Faceless Ancient.
"We've been searching for his clues in the lesser galaxies and here. But we found nothing for thousands of years, we even thought he had perished with our leader of the lesser galaxy.
"Yet, you appeared out of nowhere. A new legendary rank, but you have no common sense, as if everything is new to you, and then you suddenly approach me with the Throne of Death information.
"Only when I discovered the Faceless Ancient in your friend list did it dawn on me that the reason you want to give me the information on the Throne of Death was not because you want money or because of your good luck, but that you want to cause chaos among the Legendary Plains.
"We even have many theories about your actions, and most of them are related to this Faceless Ancient. Anyway, the Faceless Ancient is a huge catch, and you are just collateral." Long Nose disdainfully revealed as she looked at Nyx's pale face.
She became more confident and continued, "Now that the Spirit Ripper Formation is about to activate, there is no more escape! Let me tell you what will happen to you. The Spirit Ripper Formation is one of the trump cards of the ATLAS of Middle Galaxies!
"The Spirit Ripper Formation is a highly sophisticated formation created by an ancient member that exploits the Soul Star Watch system to forcibly extract a person's true soul through their virtual clone in the Virtual Star World!"
However, at this moment, Nyx suddenly spoke, her eyes still filled with fear, "C-can you tell me one thing? Just one thing!"
Long Nose frowned in disappointment. "What is it?"
"Do you guys alert the Faceless Ancient? I mean, can he know any of this and connect it to me? Or worse, did you record the details of this operation? Will it have leaked?" Nyx started to ask strange questions.
"What are you even thinking about?! How could we have leaked something like this to outsiders, much less our main target? It seemed you had lost your mind or simply feared the Faceless Ancient too much, yet you don't know us!" Long Nose again misunderstood Nyx's true intention.
She thought Nyx was having a mental breakdown because she was afraid of the Faceless Ancient. Although she was right, at the same time, she was so wrong.
"But don't worry. As long as you can lead us to this Faceless Ancient, I promise to let your true soul be free and enter the Star Hackers. What do you think?" Long Nose offered.
However, at this moment, Nyx seemed to have calmed down, but the look in her eyes was anything but calm. In fact, she was releasing killing intent as she hatefully glared at Long Nose.
"YOU UGLY SHORT BITCH!" Nyx suddenly swore, startled Long Nose, "Do you even know what you've done!? Now I have to explain it to him!"
Nyx gritted her teeth as she glared murderously at Long Nose, "I was planning on letting you off since you gave me such a huge 'gift' and earned his praise. But now, my entire freedom is on the line!"
Nyx almost seemed crazy, just like Long Nose a few moments ago, but her reasons were completely different.
"Since you dare to seek trouble with him, and put my social life on the line, you can forget about having another life as well! You ugly short goblin bitch!"
"C-crazy bawd!" Long Nose also swore back at this moment, and she was filled with killing intent because Nyx directly poked at her taboo by calling her 'short'!
Long Nose had had enough. Her lips twisted in scorn as she muttered an incantation, her voice merging with an eerie resonance, as if countless voices were whispering alongside her. Then—it surfaced.
An ethereal black hourglass pulsed on Long Nose's forehead, its dark grains of sand twisting like writhing shadows. The world trembled.
Reality convulsed. The ground flickered between solid and translucent, as if the laws of existence themselves were unraveling. Then, the collapse began.
The virtual world pixelated into jagged shards, its colors bleeding into glitched streaks of white and abyssal black. Space looped in on itself—buildings stretching into infinity before snapping out of existence, voices stuttering between static and silence.
Then came the final pull—a silent vacuum swallowed the world whole. A single, vanishing point consumed everything.
The Spirit Ripper Formation had been completely established!
