Cursed Immortality

"Hmmm… other than Dreamscape Nightmare Realm and Nightmare Conqueror, I don't have any more innate abilities because just these two abilities are made with a cluster of abilities. "Like the Dreamscape Nightmare Realm served as a reality itself, and it can be used in many ways. The stronger I get, the more of its properties will unlock, and trust me, you will absolutely like them. "As for the Nightmare Conqueror, this ability is not only for devouring, but I can also use it as an offense to drag people into their dreams and make their life worse than death. I can even turn those dreams into real life-like illusions to make them spit information or their deepest secrets. "If anything else, then your mind is no longer vulnerable to mental attacks, invasion, negative mental effects, metal curses, and so on unless, of course, the attacker is not too much stronger than me.

Or we are both doomed. "Oh, and remember my Nightmare Flames? They still exist, but I can only use them to protect this place and trust me, they can burn anyone's Psyche or Soul as long they dare to invade here. They are the bane of souls.

It's a last protection measure to protect us both. "I can still use Psyche Reasoning to talk with you when you're not here, and you can enter anytime as long as you think about entering the Dreamscape Nightmare Realm," Nyx explained. Jacob didn't find any fault in this, since even he thought just the realm was enough to make Nyx extremely useful, and the Nightmare Conqueror alone could send anyone to their deaths as long as they were foolish enough to go against him. Lastly, the part about no longer being vulnerable to mental attacks or negative mental effects drew his attention. "Does this immunity to negative mental effects also include effects from a powerful innate ability that affects the mind?" He asked sternly.

He was naturally talking about the Giant Fighting Spirit, since that thing was giving him a headache lately. "It should be. As long as this ability is weaker than my protection range, then you'll be fine." Nyx confidently replied, "Now, I have answered every question of yours. Can you please grant me a body?

Or at least give me permission to change myself according to my preferences." Jacob was happy to hear the first part, the latter made him narrow his eyes, "You have my permission as long as you don't turn into that woman again. It's forbidden!" "You're the one who turns me into her…" Nyx muttered with indignation. "What was that?" Jacob narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Nothing." Nyx quickly feigns ignorance and changes the topic, "Also, permission to change this bland scenery. I want to show you the most beautiful place I have ever seen." Jacob thought for a moment before he nodded, "Go ahead, but not…" "Not the garden, got it." Nyx quickly agreed happily, and then suddenly, the green grass plain vanished, and what appeared terrified even Jacob.

He stood on the floor full of stars, and around him were active rivers of stars that were extremely breathtaking. There was a supermassive tree in the center, seemingly made with stardust, and its starry branches spread as far as the eye could see. Despite being only a replica, that tree gave one a feeling of extreme ancientness and mystery, and it looked timelessly supreme, like the ruler of space itself. "What is place?" Jacob couldn't help but ask as his eyes were still affixed on the timeless tree.

He knew this kind of thing was absolutely impossible to exist, yet deep down, he knew common sense wasn't worth a dime in this place. But then, what kind of existence can make land and rivers of stars? That arcane tree was probably the most important part of it all.

He didn't dare to imagine just what kind of existence was capable of creating this all. "Hehe, this is the final place I saw before that Owner of Universal Godly Scripture handed me to that tree thing." Nyx's voice rang as she appeared beside Jacob. But she was no longer the dark mist anymore. Instead, she has turned into a woman whose beauty was hard to describe in words.

The only accurate word for her appearance was 'Goddess', nothing else. She was perfect in every way. Her eyes appeared to be made with countless stars, and there was a white crown with myriad stars etched on it like jewels, and her long black hair seemed to be made with strands of dark space itself.

Even someone like Jacob, who had seen many women and only considered Hope as the most beautiful woman, was shaken by seeing this goddess in front of him. She was probably the pinnacle of true beauty. In the end, he was still a mortal with a powerful will, and the existence in front of him was nothing but worldly.

Nyx smiled, which appeared soul-shattering as she looked at dazed Jacob, "This is the appearance of the Owner of Universal Godly Scripture who found me and brought me to this place. Although it was because of her, I was trapped for so long in nothingness. But I had to admit, her appearance greatly affected me that day.

For some reason, I can't seem to hate her no matter what. It is like she won't be tainted by something like hate. She seemed above these mundane emotions." Jacob's heart skipped a beat, seeing that otherworldly smile before he snapped out of his daze.

His eyes turned cold. "How should I leave this place?" Nyx was surprised, "Just think about it, and you'll leave, but why…" Before she could do anything, Jacob was gone, and she muttered in indignation, "Didn't he want to hear my sad tale?" Outside, Jacob opened his eyes as he was still sitting in the dark cave, and he suddenly started to pant heavily as all those suppressed emotions started to rage in his body. It took a short while before he returned to being calm again. 'How can that kind of woman exist?' He wondered in a trance as her face appeared in his mind again, and his heart trumped before he quickly snapped out of it, 'No! This is just the carnal desire of a mortal.

She's too strong for me, so it's only natural she has had such a massive effect on my mind and wasn't even the real thing, damn it! 'Not to mention, she is the owner of another Universal Godly Scripture… the question is what hers Universal Godly Scripture do and how far she has gone into it to travel in that kind of place…' Just thinking about that starry scenery and that tree made Jacob extremely uncomfortable. Nyx had no idea that she had just revealed a terrifying secret to Jacob that was only known by a few scary existences throughout the entire Zodiac Plains, and their ends were not pretty.
