Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Chapter260-Come on, Strike Me If You Dare!
“Provoking the will of the universe?!”

Everyone was utterly stunned by Velen’s actions.

Who would’ve thought that someone would dare to provoke the will of the universe during a breakthrough?

Wasn’t that just plain suicide?!

“His Highness Velen is actually provoking the will of the universe… Has he lost his mind? Does he really think the will of the universe wouldn’t strike him down?”

The four Knight Commanders were completely dumbfounded as they watched Velen pointing to the sky and furiously cursing at the looming thunder tide above.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A terrifying pressure came crashing down.

The ordinary thunder tide that hovered above began to evolve—gradually transforming into a Thunder Calamity!

“It’s furious!”

“The will of the universe is truly enraged! He’s just at Ascended Rank Level 1, yet he’s triggered a Thunder Calamity that only appears during breakthroughs to Ascended Rank Level 9!”

“This aura… it’s the first stage of the thunder tide!”

As the Thunder Calamity fully materialized, the four Knight Commanders were stunned beyond words.

This was the first time in their lives they had seen something like this.

They never imagined Velen would go so far as to enrage the universal will to the point of upgrading a standard thunder tide into a full-blown Thunder Calamity!

Was there anyone more insane than this guy?

Nobody dared even think about doing something so crazy.

“Come on!”

“Strike me if you’ve got the guts!”

“What, you’re going soft now? Come on! DO IT!”

Watching the Thunder Calamity flash violently above, Velen grew even more excited, shouting at the sky with reckless defiance.

“Rain down your fury! Come on! Show me what you’ve got!”

BOOM!

Multiple bolts of first-tier thunder came crashing down from the heavens. The will of the universe, provoked to its limit, finally responded.

You dare insult me?!

You really think I won’t strike you down just because I’ve been holding back?!

Fine. I’ll electrocute you to dust!

The will of the universe had snapped!!!

Everyone stood in shocked silence.

But the very next second—

“What the hell?!”

“WHAT THE ACTUAL—?!”

“Run! Run for your lives!”

“What is this madness?! We were just relaxing in this hot spring, watching the show, and now you’re striking us instead of Velen?!”

The four Knight Commanders suddenly realized that several thunderbolts weren’t even aimed at Velen—they were headed straight for them.

They were utterly dumbstruck.

What in the world was going on?!

The moment they realized the danger, all four bolted out of the spring in panic, frantically activating magical defense artifacts to shield themselves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their hastily activated gear shattered instantly under the force of the thunder, leaving them all with their hair standing on end, charred black, and looking like overcooked chickens.

Velen: ???

What the hell just happened?

He had enraged the will of the universe, right? So why was it smiting the four Knight Commanders instead of him?

Even the will of the universe knows how to pick on easy targets?

How ridiculously cowardly was that?!

Watching the four high-ranking commanders flail about under relentless thunder strikes, Velen was dumbfounded.

He hadn’t expected the will of the universe to play dirty like this.

But no matter how mischievous it was, he absolutely wouldn’t stand by and let his helpful “training dummies” suffer in his place!

“Will of the universe!”

“Why aren’t you hitting me?! Are you scared now?”

“What kind of coward only bullies four frail old men?!”

“Come on! Use your big, thick thunder and strike me down with all you’ve got!”

Velen raised his arms and screamed at the sky once more.

Meanwhile, the four Knight Commanders were trembling with rage and despair after hearing his words.

“Frail old men?!”

“We’re Ascended Rank experts, for heaven’s sake!”

“We are the Four Great Knight Commanders of the Noyer Kingdom!”

“There are barely a handful of people in the entire universe stronger than us, and now Velen dares call us weak, sickly old geezers?!”

At that moment, the Thunder Calamity above seemed to explode with renewed fury.

The sky darkened as more thunder tides coalesced—the second wave, and then the third!

“Uh-oh…”

The four commanders’ faces turned pale.

This was bad.

“Blazing! Silver Lunar! Rose! I think we’ve got serious trouble!” the Ghost Knight Commander warned, a grim expression on his face.

“The more His Highness insults the will of the universe, the angrier it gets—and then it dumps all that rage on us!”

“What?!”

Everyone went stiff with realization.

“That’s true! I can feel it—it’s already locked on to us…” Ghost muttered, swallowing nervously.

“We need to brace ourselves,” said the Silver Lunar Knight Commander seriously. “The third-tier thunder tide is manageable… but if it escalates all the way to ninth-tier, we’re finished.”

Hearing this, Rose Knight Commander nodded gravely, then glanced to his side—only to freeze mid-sentence.

“Wait… where’s Blazing?”

They all turned in unison.

“DAMN IT!”

“Blazing, you sneaky bastard!”

“You ran off and didn’t even warn us?!”

The three Knight Commanders erupted in curses when they spotted Blazing Knight Commander calmly standing right beside Velen, completely unscathed.

“You three are idiots. And you blame me for being clever?”

Blazing grinned shamelessly.

“You’ve got some nerve,” Ghost snapped.

“I was worried sick about you, and you just bolted without a word?!”

“Come on,” Blazing shrugged. “You guys saw it too—they won’t strike His Highness. Obviously, the safest place is right next to him!”

“You fools just stood there waiting to get zapped. That’s just stupid!”

“Look at me—first thing I did was get close to Velen. Genius move.”

Then, with a smirk, he looked up at the sky and resumed taunting the heavens.

“Damn you, will of the universe! Come on, hit me!”

“You were so eager just now—come on, zap me again! Why so quiet now?!”

“Hey! I’m stepping away from His Highness!”

“…And I’m back again! Haha! Try to strike me now!”

Blazing jumped in and out of Velen’s protective range like a child playing tag, having the time of his life.

“Blazing Knight Commander…”

Velen suddenly looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

“Do you think there’s a chance… that once I leave, the will of the universe might resume zapping you again?”

“Huh?”

“…???”

Blazing froze mid-leap.

He hadn’t considered that possibility at all.

But now that Velen mentioned it…

Oh crap.

If the only reason he was safe was because of Velen’s presence, then once Velen walked away…

Blazing Knight Commander felt a chill run down his spine.

The other three commanders, who had just been thinking of sneaking over to Velen too, paused mid-step. The dread on their faces mirrored Blazing’s.

Because deep down, they all knew—Velen’s guess might be terrifyingly accurate.

And then—

FWOOSH—

The Thunder Calamity vanished.

The dark clouds cleared. The sky returned to its bright, peaceful blue, as if nothing had ever happened.

“Your Highness Velen…”

“…I’m feeling a little nervous now.”

“You don’t think it’ll still come back for me, right?”

Blazing’s voice trembled as he looked up at the now tranquil sky, unsure whether to feel relieved or more afraid than ever.
