Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter62-This Fortress Seems Off!

“Little Iron, there’s an old man chasing us. He’s almost here. Capture him when he arrives. I want to give him a good beating!”

The Ironback Centipede immediately flew into the sky, heading straight for the starry sky.

Before it flew into space, it didn’t forget to turn back and solemnly say:

“Master, don’t worry, I’ll capture him in ten moves!”

Velen couldn’t help but roll his eyes at its overly dramatic confidence.

It was just a spellbeast, why did it have to act so tough?

As the Ironback Centipede flew into the stars, Bruce was also about to arrive at Uranus Star, his face grim as he said:

“The fleet will stay here. Velen, this time, you won’t escape!”

The closer he got, the more excited Bruce became. The humiliation he had suffered being imprisoned for thirty hours would soon be washed away!

“That item is definitely your greatest trump card! If I don’t hang you up and beat you, then I’m not Explosive Axeman Bruce!”

Just as he finished speaking, a mocking laughter suddenly rang out from ahead.

“Get lost, young one, don’t piss me off!”

The moment Bruce saw the young man charging toward him, his expression immediately turned icy.

Ironback Centipede, hearing those words, couldn’t help but shake its head and scrutinize the young man.

“I’ve been hunted by your master all the way here. I thought you might be a worthy opponent, but it turns out you’re just a weak Ascended Rank Lv4. How dare you shout at me in my presence?”

The young man immediately saw through Bruce’s level, and his expression suddenly turned calm.

This young man was definitely no simple foe. After all, his level was suppressed, and it wasn’t something that just anyone could perceive.

Even if this young man wasn’t stronger than Bruce, his level was at least comparable.

Then, Bruce seemed to sense something and his pupils shrank suddenly.

From this young man, he could feel an extremely cold spellbeast aura!

Remembering that the young man had just mentioned his master, Bruce was even more certain that this young man was a spellbeast disguised in human form!

“Humans dominate the galaxies, and yet a mere spellbeast dares to appear so arrogantly before me? Truly seeking death!”

Once Bruce confirmed the young man’s identity as a spellbeast, his expression turned even more ruthless.

Although spellbeasts were incredibly powerful, humans were the true rulers of the universe!

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Ironback Centipede’s violent aura, like shattered metal and iron, immediately poured out, crushing the vast black void in front of them!

Even though Bruce had been prepared and used his double-edged axe to defend, he was still pushed back repeatedly by the overwhelming mana.

His body was under immense pressure, twisting severely, and blood began to trickle from the corners of his mouth!

“Impossible, how could your level be so terrifying?”

Under the absolute suppression of mana, Bruce was horrified and stunned.

He was Ascended Rank Lv4, one of the top experts in Titan Galaxy, but under the Ironback Centipede’s pressure, he couldn’t even move.

This was the result of an overwhelming level difference.

Ascended Rank Lv8 and above!

The level of this spellbeast was too terrifying!

But wasn’t it a spellbeast enslaved by Velen?

How could such a powerful spellbeast be controlled by a human?

How did Velen manage that?

As Bruce’s shock grew, Ironback Centipede coldly spoke:

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you unless my master commands it. However, your actions on this journey have displeased my master, which in turn displeases me. So, why don’t you try the taste of my fists?”

As it spoke, Ironback Centipede immediately extended countless fists made of its many legs, smashing toward Bruce with immense brutality.

Bruce’s face turned white in an instant. With so many limbs, if they all hit him, he’d either be dead or severely disabled!

Yet, under Ironback Centipede’s pressure, he had no power to resist and could only let out constant screams!

…

Meanwhile,

Nikola, who was beside Velen, suddenly sensed something. He quickly pulled a red interstellar receiver from his storage pouch.

After a series of harsh buzzing sounds, Nikola’s eyes widened.

“Father, what did you say? Senator Bruce arrived with the fleet three days ago? But we haven’t seen him!”

“Hmm? Senator Bruce sent you a distress signal, saying he’s being beaten by a spellbeast and is about to be killed?”

Upon hearing this, Nikola immediately turned to Velen.

“Velen, when Captain Daniel and I were aboard the fleet, we didn’t notice anything unusual outside. Did you see an old man approach? His level was Ascended Rank Lv4.”

Velen smiled and replied, “Though it’s a bit late for you to notice, it’s no big deal. But remember, always pay attention to hiding your tracks, otherwise, you might not even know how you died if your enemies find out.”

“You didn’t know? That old man had been following us for three days with a murderous intent so strong it almost turned into a physical presence.”

??

Nikola’s pupils shrank suddenly. It turned out that Velen had already noticed Bruce, but there must have been some misunderstanding!

Then, he suddenly remembered Velen’s profound methods, as well as the mysterious youth he had just sent out, and quickly explained in anxiety:

“Velen, the old man you mentioned isn’t an enemy. He’s a senator from the trade guild, and also Captain Daniel’s father!”

Nikola felt that Velen must have misunderstood because of his connection with Daniel. The fact that Bruce was almost killed by the youth sent by Velen was surely a huge misunderstanding!

Velen paused for a moment, unable to comprehend.

The old man with a fierce expression, the one he had toyed with for three days, was actually Daniel’s father, a senator from the trade guild?

Wasn’t this a massive blunder?

Meanwhile, Daniel, still immersed in his ideal future, froze when he heard Nikola and Velen’s conversation.

What did this mean?

His father had been treated like an enemy by Velen, who had even sent someone to almost kill him?

Bang!

Before Daniel could fully react, a loud crash rang out as a dark shadow landed heavily, and Ironback Centipede, resembling a mighty multi-armed demon, descended from the sky, landing beside the shadow in a grand, imposing stance!

“Master, I have fulfilled my mission and brought this man back.”

Ironback Centipede saluted Velen with pride, waiting for praise.

“Father!”

At that moment, Daniel saw the bloodied and battered old man lying on the ground. He immediately recognized him and rushed to help him up.

Anastasia, Robert, Hael, and others in the vicinity all looked at Velen in astonishment.

They had overheard Velen and Nikola’s conversation clearly.

To their surprise, the person Velen had been targeting all this time was actually a senator from the trade guild.

Just now, he had ordered Ironback Centipede to beat him up!

This… was incredibly awkward.

Soon after, Daniel explained the situation to Bruce, who could only weep in frustration.

He hadn’t done anything, but Velen had treated him as an enemy, toyed with him for three days, and let his spellbeast beat him to a pulp!

But Velen was his son’s and the young master’s friend, even the young master’s sworn elder brother, and had been protecting the two of them.

Even though he was enraged to the point of almost spitting blood, he could only swallow his anger.

After all, the spellbeast under Velen’s command was so powerful that if Velen had issued a kill order, he would be dead by now!

His entire journey had been one of immense frustration.

“Ahem, Senator Bruce, my sincere apologies,”

Velen said, looking at Bruce, who was covered in bruises, trying to stifle his laughter and explaining awkwardly.

“I didn’t mean to target you. It’s just that your actions seemed suspicious, and you seemed to harbor deep hostility toward us. You didn’t look like a good person, so to protect Daniel and the others, I had no choice but to act.”

Bruce thought back to when he approached the fleet. To investigate their abnormalities quietly, he hadn’t warned Daniel and the others in advance.

Seeing them fighting, he had naturally glared at Velen, thinking he was behind it.

He hadn’t realized that this had led Velen to think he had strong hostility toward them.

What a ridiculous loss this was for him.

“Senator Bruce, I didn’t expect to meet you here again!”

Robert walked over with a smile, not just because he had met an old friend, but because the state his friend was in was truly amusing.

“Robert? What are you doing here?”

Bruce’s swollen eyes widened, and after seeing Robert’s face through his pained gaze, he was surprised.

Robert was a major shareholder in several auction houses and should be busy with business, so why was he in this small place?

“Well, I’m temporarily not dealing with auction house matters. I’m currently a priest at the fortress. It’s a nice place, and I think I’ll be living here from now on.”

Robert smiled as he spoke.

Bruce asked…
