Constant Baron-0 finally realized at this moment about what Nyx was trying to imply before and couldn't help but sneak a glance at that godly woman who was also prostrating herself in front of 'her lord' and shuddered just thinking about how she had foolishly targeted her.
'It's all that Star Lord's fault for steering me on the wrong path and almost making me lose my life! It's good that the Noble One is merciful towards a 0!' Constant Baron-0 cursed the 'Star Lord' profusely and wanted to skin the Star Lord alive once she gets out of here.
Without hiding anything, Constant Baron-0 revealed, "Replying to the Noble One, it was all but a misunderstanding! The truth is that over two thousand years ago, an Iron Constant ascended from the Lesser Plains.
"It was the first time in the history of ATLAS that an Iron Constant who hadn't even completed half of the 'First Timeless Cycle' was ascended to the Legendary Plains instead of a Golden Constant with 'Fourth Timeless Cycles'.
"But according to that Iron Constant, he seemed to have earned the favor of a Constant Viscount from the upper plains, and because of the unexpected 'END' of Golden Constants, which also includes a Timeless City Overseer of the Lesser Galaxy of Taurus, new constant spots were opened.
"The Constant Viscount somehow noticed it and instantly used the Constant Noble Privilege to descend into the Lesser Plains. The Viscount took subordinates from the Lesser Galaxy of Taurus who had extremely high talents and rare bloodlines.
"Even we, the Constant Barons, weren't able to get this news until everyone was over, and it was probably the Constant Viscount behind it as well." Constant Baron-0's voice was filled with grievance.
She was holding a grudge against that Constant Viscount for sweeping all the benefits from the Lesser Galaxies, while it should be the Constant Baron who receives them.
But because she was only a Constant Baron-0 who was only a step closer to becoming a Constant Viscount, she could only swallow her grievance.
However, now that 'Furcas' has personally descended in front of her, she became brave and revealed everything without hiding anything. She knew that even those above Constant Viscount had no choice but to prostrate in front of Furcas; much less a cunning Constant Viscount.
But what she didn't know was that the 'Furcas' in front of her was not the real one. Jacob heard everything for the first time, and he was really fascinated by ATLAS.
'Their roots are simply too deep. They're like the ultimate version of the Killer Skull Society…'
Jacob wanted to ask for more details, but he kept it to himself and let Constant Baron-0 continue. He was already learning many things that he wasn't able to after spending almost a hundred years in the Lesser Plains.
"After that, the new Iron Constant arrived because of the backing of the Constant Viscount; he became the new Star Lord of the Star-Hackers instead of joining the Timeless City.
"Furthermore, it was at that time that the news about the Legendary Master Key also started to spread, and I later discovered that it was also done by that Star Lord. Not only that, this Star Lord also reveals much information about the deaths of Golden Constants in the Lesser Plains. He earned himself enormous resources to quickly promote himself into a Golden Constant within two thousand years.
"It was also because of this Star Lord that we learned about the perpetrator's star ID, the Faceless Ancient. The Constant Viscount had placed a massive bounty on the Faceless Ancient's whereabouts and on capturing him alive.
"Not only that, but the new Star Lord also believed that the Legendary Master Key is in the hands of this Faceless Ancient. This drew even more Constant Viscount interests because they all seemed to want that Legendary Master Key.
"All the big organizations in the legendary plains are still searching for the Legendary Master Key because they had also received the same instructions from their backers in the Upper Plains. Only we have a specific target." Constant Baron-0 explained with a hint of apprehension.
Jacob was shocked. He wasn't expecting this kind of twist at all, and a terrifying killing intent rose in his heart.
'So, whoever this Iron Constant or now the Golden Constant is, he knows me quite well. Not only that, but he's now the Star Lord of Star Hackers.
'But what is this Timeless City? Could it be the true 'head' of the ATLAS? Nonetheless, the shock caused by the Legendary Master Key had been significantly subdued by the sudden appearance of Zodiac Beast Calamity.
'However, this Star Lord had truly guessed right about who had this key, and he had even drawn the attention of those Constant Viscounts from the Upper Plains to me. But now that I know the Constant Barons should be effective for my legendary rank magic core, which makes the Constant Viscounts effective for the Mythical Rank…'
Jacob looked at Constant Baron-0, who still wanted to continue, but he cut her off. "That's enough. I can easily deduce what happened after that. You all thought my follower was connected to Faceless Ancient. It is indeed true."
Constant Baron-0 was shocked when 'Furcas' confirmed it, but didn't dare to speak since this matter was too huge.
But at this moment, Jacob's voice turned eerie as he declared, "However, you have all taken this too far, and I had no choice but to send a wisp of myself to enlighten the fools.
"Now, hear me, and hear me well. Faceless Ancient is my proxy and doing my bidding. Since you have proven yourself worthy, I'll give you a chance to come under my grace and become part of my 'faction'. Are you willing, Constant Baron-0?" Jacob inquired.
Nyx almost laughed out loud. She wasn't expecting Jacob to take this thing so far, and he even declared himself his own proxy. Nonetheless, she could guess what Jacob wanted.
The ATLAS has offended him, schemed against him, targeted him, and almost killed him; now he has caught their tail, and he is clearly not going to let it go.
Nyx even felt a tingle of pity for those poor bastards as she looked at Constant Baron-0's trembling figure after Jacob's 'offer'; she knew they were going to meet a terrible tragedy!
