Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter259-Damn It! Why Did the Thunder Tide Strike Off Target?!
Holy shit?!

Seeing that playful smile on the black-robed man’s face, the bald man immediately panicked, his eyes filled with regret.

Why the hell did I provoke this lunatic for no reason?!

Was I just asking for a beating?!

“Big bro, I…” Little Light rubbed his hands together, forcing a dry laugh.

Meanwhile—

Watching as Blazing Knight Commander carried away four barrels of Iron Cub Spring, and Rose Knight Commander took away three hundred Starnight Flowers, Velen quietly waited for the system rewards.

Beep! Congratulations, host! You have triggered three consecutive Spendthrift Tycoon actions. Reward: 300 million luxury points, 300 Invincible Upgrade Potions!

Beep! Rose Knight Commander’s special task has ended!

Beep! Congratulations, host! You have triggered two consecutive Spendthrift Tycoon actions. Reward: 200 million luxury points, 200 Invincible Upgrade Potions!

Beep! Blazing Knight Commander’s special task has ended!

Beep! Congratulations, host! You have completed all special tasks within a single day. Hidden reward triggered: 1 billion luxury points and 1,000,000 (one million) Invincible Upgrade Potions!

What the hell?!

What did I just hear?!

Hidden rewards for completing special tasks?!

Hearing the final system prompt, Velen was completely stunned.

The 1 billion luxury points weren’t the shocking part—

But one million Invincible Upgrade Potions?!

That practically solved the entire fortress’ advancement problems!

An entire million!

If I’d known they were going to give me this much, why the hell was I grinding those Spendthrift Tycoon tasks so hard?!

“Now my luxury points have reached 1.9 billion. Should I just spend 1 billion and break through to Ascended Rank Level 9?”

After checking his current luxury points, Velen quickly made up his mind.

——

Meanwhile, back at the luxurious pool—

“Blazing!”

“Rose!”

“You guys didn’t see it earlier! His Highness Velen was still at the peak of Hero Rank Level 9. Then he just casually lay down on his mana crystal bed and started rapid-breaking through ranks—straight to the peak of Supreme Rank Level 9!”

“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such an insane breakthrough method existed!”

Ghost Knight Commander was passionately recounting the event.

“Ghost’s right. His Highness Velen’s breakthrough style is truly terrifying!”

“Most people need days to stabilize after advancing even a minor rank. But him? He just breaks through an entire major rank, then lies down and falls asleep!”

“Is that even human?!”

Silver Lunar Knight Commander added bitterly.

——

Boom!

At that moment, a powerful breakthrough aura suddenly erupted from the small swimming pool nearby.

Iron Cub Spring splashed everywhere from the explosion, causing Blazing Knight Commander’s heart to ache fiercely.

My water! That’s my Iron Cub Spring being blasted away!

“Look!”

“That’s exactly the kind of breakthrough aura we witnessed before! It happened nine times in a row!”

Ghost Knight Commander pointed at the swimming pool.

“You guys didn’t believe me before, but now—”

Suddenly, he froze mid-sentence.

Turning sharply toward the small pool, he saw—

Velen was actually breaking through again!

“Wasn’t he just breaking through one major rank earlier?! Why is he doing it again now?! Is he trying to crush Blazing and Rose mentally on purpose?!”

Ghost Knight Commander screamed internally.

“No, it’s different this time!”

Blazing Knight Commander said seriously.

“What do you mean?”

“Ghost, this time His Highness is breaking through from the peak of Supreme Rank Level 9 to the first layer of Ascended Rank.”

“Which means—he’s about to trigger a standard thunder tide!”

“But… shouldn’t he at least prepare a little?”

“Even pretending to prepare would make me feel better!”

Watching Velen lying on a floating wooden plank in the pool, drinking casually as if nothing was about to happen, Silver Lunar Knight Commander’s mind completely collapsed.

When did advancing ranks become this easy and relaxing?

What about all of us who fought tooth and nail for every advancement?

This is way too infuriating!

——

“Ghost! Silver Lunar! Rose! Look up there!”

Blazing Knight Commander shouted.

All four knight commanders looked toward the sky.

They saw a disaster cloud forming high above, flashing with lightning.

But strangely, the cloud kept scattering and reforming—

The thunder tide refused to descend.

“Blazing, Silver Lunar, Rose, am I crazy… or is that cloud hesitating?”

Ghost Knight Commander spoke hesitantly, his instincts screaming that something was wrong.

The others followed his gaze upward.

“Ghost, that sounds ridiculous… and yet I can’t refute it.”

Silver Lunar Knight Commander frowned as he watched the bizarre cloud behavior.

“What’s going on?!”

“Why isn’t the thunder tide coming down? Is it… playing around up there?!”

Velen also noticed the anomaly.

He stood up from his floating plank and jumped onto the ground, frowning.

“Wait.”

“Could it be… that the thunder tide is afraid of me and doesn’t dare to strike?”

Velen suddenly recalled what had happened during the Alchemy Tournament—

Back when he was brewing a god-rank potion, the tribulation lightning didn’t dare strike as long as he was nearby.

Boom!

Just as Velen was thinking this, the disaster cloud seemed to make up its mind.

The lightning quickly gathered into a thick thunderbolt—

But instead of striking Velen, it struck the ground beside him!

Even if it didn’t dare hit Velen directly, the laws of the world demanded a thunder tide.

Thus, it simply missed—this was the final stubbornness of the natural laws.

——

“Damn it!”

“It missed! The thunder tide actually MISSED?!”

Ghost Knight Commander’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

This was practically free advancement!

The other three knight commanders were too stunned to speak.

They had never seen anything like this in their entire lives.

“Dear god.”

“Look at that. It actually missed!”

Velen noticed too and quickly moved toward the spot where the thunder tide had landed.

But then—

An unbelievable scene unfolded before their eyes.

The massive thunderbolt, which had been hurtling downward, suddenly halted in mid-air!

“What the hell!”

“You three, slap me! Am I seeing things? The thunder tide just stopped itself mid-descent and adjusted its trajectory?!”

Ghost Knight Commander frantically rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

“IT MOVED!”

“His Highness moved again—he’s trying to intercept it!”

Silver Lunar Knight Commander exclaimed, eyes wide in shock.

“I get it now!”

“Even though it sounds crazy… the thunder tide clearly doesn’t want to hit His Highness.”

“And yet His Highness is determined to get struck by it!”

Rose Knight Commander was nearly losing his mind.

Since when did thunder tribulations become a game of tag between a mage and the sky itself?!

——

“My breakthrough was pure torture. His breakthrough looks like child’s play!”

“Why did I have to witness this?!”

Blazing Knight Commander felt his heart utterly collapse.

He remembered how he had once been chased and struck relentlessly by the thunder tides during his own tribulation.

But now—

Velen was chasing the thunder tide!

Both mages, yet the difference was colossal!

——

“I just wanted to give the Guardian Army a chance to catch their breath!”

“Couldn’t you give me even a little opportunity?!”

“I’ve been struck by thunder so many times already—what’s one more? Would it kill you?!”

Frustrated that the thunder tide kept avoiding him, Velen pointed at the disaster cloud and started cursing furiously.
