Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Chapter225-Grand Elder! Second Elder! Why Have You Been Captured?!
“Lord Gallio, let’s just go!”

“This fortress of Lord Velen… it’s driving me insane! I can’t take it anymore!”

At that moment, Kayn finally snapped. If they stayed any longer, he felt like he’d lose his mind completely.

“I can’t hold on either…”

Hearing Kayn’s plea, Gallio felt the same urge rising in his chest.

He was just about to ask Apollo if they could leave temporarily when—

A sweet little girl, happily chewing on candy, came skipping toward them from the distance.

The moment the girl appeared, Gallio noticed something strange.

Apollo—who had been unfazed by rabbits doing swordplay and spellbeasts riding forges—was now trembling from head to toe, like a leaf in a storm.

What the heck?

It’s just a cute little girl!

Why the hell are you shaking like a leaf?

“Take them over there,” the girl said in a soft voice. “Big Sis has finished meditating.”

With that, she turned and skipped away, disappearing around the back of the fortress.

Whew…

Only when her figure vanished did Apollo finally exhale deeply.

Gallio and Kayn both saw that the back of Apollo’s shirt was completely soaked in sweat, clinging tightly to his body.

“Sir… are you… afraid of her?” Gallio asked, still staring in the direction the girl had gone.

“Dear heavens!”

“Lord Gallio, for once in your life—could you PLEASE shut up?” Kayn broke down completely.

“Every time you ask a question, we end up suffering some kind of mental breakdown! Can’t you learn from the past?!”

He looked like he wanted to slap a hand over Gallio’s mouth.

“Afraid?” Apollo muttered. “Do you have any idea how terrifying she is?”

“Let me put it this way—no matter how powerful your Holy Fortress is, no matter how many Ascended Rank powerhouses you have under your command—she alone could wipe out your entire knight order!”

“I’m serious! Whether you have ten thousand, a hundred thousand, even a million Ascended Rank fighters—none of it matters! She can destroy them all in a single move!”

“You don’t have to believe me. But that’s the truth.”

Hearing Apollo’s explanation, Gallio and Kayn actually… chuckled.

For once, they didn’t feel frightened—only amused.

Believe that?

Seriously?

A single little girl, obliterating an entire fortress?

What kind of sick joke was that?

But just then…

The girl who had just walked away suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She had clearly overheard Gallio and Kayn’s comments.

Her cheeks puffed up with irritation, and she stomped the ground like a child throwing a tantrum.

“They dare to doubt me?”

“People from the Holy Fortress, huh?”

“Since they don’t believe Apollo…”

A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes as she suddenly stretched out her arms.

Boom!

An immense surge of mind power, vast as a starry sea, erupted outward—shaking the entire plane of existence.

“Found you~!”

In a matter of seconds, she locked onto the Holy Fortress by tracing the residual aura lingering on Gallio and Kayn.

With a flick of her slender fingers, the space before her tore apart like silk being ripped in two.

Meanwhile, deep within the Holy Fortress—

The Grand Elder, immersed in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

His pupils contracted violently.

Beside him, the Second Elder jumped up with a shriek, his staff clattering to the ground.

A Spatial Rift had opened right in front of them, without warning.

Both elders were immediately overwhelmed with dread.

“This… this is…”

Space twisted unnaturally before them.

A pale, delicate hand reached out from the rift.

“…Ultimate Terror!”

“We’re doomed!”

Before either elder could even cast a single defensive spell—

The tiny hand grabbed both of them and yanked them straight into the rift.

“Hehe~ Gotcha!”

The little girl giggled as she swung her legs joyfully, now staring at the two shivering elders in front of her, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Back in the fortress—

Gallio suddenly paused mid-step.

A puzzled look crept over his face.

“What’s wrong?” Kayn asked.

“I think I just sensed the Grand Elder and Second Elder’s presence…”

Before he could finish, the sound of frantic footsteps came from behind.

Two familiar figures came running toward them.

But—

These weren’t the dignified elders they knew.

They were puffing, stumbling—

And their faces were swollen like purple pig heads.

“What the—?” Gallio was dumbfounded.

“Grand Elder? Second Elder? What are you doing here?”

“And what happened to your faces?!”

Kayn was equally confused.

Weren’t they supposed to be in the Holy Fortress?

“Grand Elder, Second Elder, what happe—”

Before Gallio could finish, the two elders tackled him to the ground and started pummeling him with their fists.

“Grand Elder! Second Elder! Why are you hitting us?!”

“Stop! Please stop!”

“My nose! You’re breaking my nose!”

“Grand Elder, I’m Kayn! If you must hit someone, hit Gallio! Don’t lump me in!”

“Not the face! Please, not the face!”

Their screams rang out as fists kept flying.

“Idiots!” the Grand Elder shouted between punches.

“Do you have any idea who you provoked?! Who else should we hit?!”

“That girl—she could wipe out the entire fortress with just a thought!”

“Because you two didn’t believe it, she dragged us out of the Holy Fortress for a beatdown!”

“And you think YOU’RE the victims?! We’re the ones who got our dignity shattered!”

The Second Elder’s beard was practically vibrating with rage.

“I’ve lived for over eight hundred years! Never in my life have I suffered such humiliation!”

“We were wrong! We know we were wrong!”

Gallio and Kayn held their heads and begged for mercy.

Hearing this, the two elders hit them even harder.

Only when both of them were sporting their own pig-head faces did the Grand Elder and Second Elder finally stop, panting heavily.

“Now do you believe us?!”

Gallio and Kayn nodded furiously, like chickens pecking at rice.

“Yes, Grand Elder! We believe you! We really do!”

Satisfied, the two elders let out heavy sighs, turned, and immediately sprinted off in the direction of the little girl.

Watching their retreating backs, Gallio rubbed his bruised cheeks and opened his mouth to speak—

Only to be silenced by Kayn shoving a hand over his lips.

“My lord, please… for the love of everything sacred… STOP ASKING QUESTIONS.”

“If you ask one more thing, I swear I’m going to break rank and mutiny!”

Gallio screamed internally, his soul cracking.

“Why, WHY is my curiosity so damn uncontrollable?!”

Inside the fortress hall—

When Gallio finally laid eyes on Anastasia and sensed her true strength—

He was completely numb.

A fortress where even the servants were Ascended Rank powerhouses…

But the fortress lord was only at the peak of Hero Rank?

What kind of twisted joke was this!?
