Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Chapter74-Kidd on the Verge of Collapse
As he spoke, Velen turned and left, carrying the Flame Dragon Furnace, which was burning with roaring flames.

In his opinion, Anastasia was acting so irritable probably because she was simply too exhausted these days, leading to a hormonal imbalance. She’d be fine in a couple of days.

Had Anastasia known what Velen was thinking at that moment, she definitely wouldn’t have let him leave so easily.

She had to teach Velen a proper lesson, making sure he understood exactly why she was angry. Otherwise, he’d remain completely oblivious.

After leaving Robert’s courtyard, Velen returned straight to his own residence.

He placed the Flame Dragon Furnace in the courtyard before heading into his room and going to sleep.

At that moment, he was completely unaware that William senator and the others were rushing toward his location at full speed. By the next morning, they would arrive.

As he lay in bed and closed his eyes, a certain figure suddenly appeared in his mind—Kidd.

“Haven’t heard from Kidd in a while. I wonder how he’s doing now. After all this time, he should have made it back to the Dark Eye Galaxy by now…”

Muttering to himself, Velen quickly shook off the thought.

“Why am I thinking about that guy before falling asleep? I should be spending my dreams deepening my bond with Lord Anastasia instead…”

Dark Eye Galaxy, Holy Light Temple, Sword Saint Plaza.

Before the towering statue of the Sword Saint, wielding a Holy Light Greatsword, Kidd’s plump body knelt trembling on the ground, resembling a quivering ball of fat, unable to lift his head toward the Holy Light Temple Lord seated beneath the statue.

After a brief silence, Kidd mustered up the courage to put on a flattering smile, his chubby face squeezing into an obsequious expression.

“Mentor, your mentee knows his mistake! But look, I made it back safely, didn’t I?”

“I promise, there definitely won’t be a next time!”

“A next time?!”

The middle-aged man, whose silver hair gleamed like a crescent moon and whose scarred face bore a fearsome intensity, suddenly snapped his eyes open, glaring at Kidd.

A chill ran down Kidd’s spine as he met Make’s gaze.

In an instant, blinding sword light erupted from Make’s eyes, flooding the entire plaza in a dazzling white radiance.

“The Singularity Battlefield is fraught with peril! With your meager abilities, you dared to enter on your own? Do you even know what ‘certain death’ means?!”

Fuming with rage, Make was just about to slap Kidd across the face, but when he saw Kidd’s ingratiating smile, he could only suppress his anger for the moment.

Seeing this, Kidd immediately clung to him like sticky rice, grinning cheekily.

“Mentor, I know you’re only concerned about my safety! However you choose to punish me, I fully accept it! Just don’t let your anger hurt your health!”

Make sighed, looking at him helplessly.

Kidd pulled this trick every time, and every time, Make had no counter for it.

With a stern face, Make finally spoke:

“Until you reach Adept Rank, you are to remain in the Holy Light Temple and reflect on your actions!”

Just as his words fell, a hysterical-looking old man with sparse hair suddenly rushed over, scanning his surroundings with wild eyes.

“I felt it!”

“I felt the aura of the Judgement Sword!”

“Who among you possesses such power? Please, reveal yourself!”

Before he had even finished speaking, his attention suddenly locked onto Kidd.

He could confirm it—that faint yet distinct aura of Judgement lingering in the air was radiating from Kidd’s body.

At that moment, the elder froze completely, staring at Kidd in utter shock and disbelief.

The aura of the Judgement Sword… was coming from him?

He knew Kidd’s personality well—a schemer who preferred ambushing from the shadows.

How could he possibly wield the Judgement Sword?!

After all, Kidd had joined the Holy Light Temple at a very young age, and the elder had a deep impression of him.

Judging by Kidd’s temperament, he couldn’t possibly be the type to lead the charge as a swordsman.

And yet, here he was, radiating an aura of Judgement Sword so pure it was unmistakable.

When had Kidd become a swordsman?!

“Grand Senator, why have you suddenly appeared?”

Make, looking at the aged yet unfathomably powerful elder, curiously inquired.

“And who is this ‘great figure’ you speak of? I haven’t sensed anyone at all.”

The Grand Senator, Lucas, stared at Kidd with wide eyes, his expression filled with astonishment and excitement.

“Good heavens… I haven’t seen you for just over a year, and you’ve given me an earth-shattering surprise!”

As one of the Holy Light Temple’s Grand Senators, Lucas had always kept a close watch on the temple’s most gifted disciples.

He had even tried multiple times to persuade Kidd to become a swordsman.

But Kidd had always refused, insisting that he had no interest in leading dangerous charges.

And yet, here he was, not only a swordsman but having comprehended the terrifying Sword of Judgement!

That technique was powerful enough to slay an Ascended Rank Awakener with ease!

Even within the Holy Light Temple, the Sword of Judgement only existed as a recorded legend.

“Well, well, Kidd… So the real reason you refused to become a swordsman wasn’t because you were afraid of death… but because we were unworthy of teaching you!”

Hearing Lucas’ words, Kidd’s heart sank instantly.

Before returning to the Holy Light Temple, he had taken every precaution to hide his abilities.

Yet despite all that effort, Grand Senator Lucas had seen right through him!

This was bad.

Lucas was even more fanatical than the Temple Lord.

At this moment, Make finally recovered from his shock, his expression turning serious.

“Kidd, explain yourself. Why do you possess the aura of the Judgement Sword?”

After Lucas’ exclamation, Make had personally examined Kidd, confirming that the Sword of Judgement’s aura was indeed emanating from his body.

This greatly shocked him, making him even more curious about what had happened in the Singularity Battlefield.

With both the Temple Lord and the Grand Senator staring him down, Kidd’s psychological defenses completely collapsed.

“Grand Senator… Mentor… I swear, I never wanted to become a swordsman! This was all an accident!”

With a deep sigh of resignation, Kidd reluctantly released the aura of the Sword of Judgement from his body.

At once, a divine radiance resembling the sacred wings of a celestial lion illuminated the space, bringing a soothing presence that accelerated the healing of old injuries.

This was the purest form of the Sword of Judgement.

Lucas’ entire body trembled with excitement.

To witness this legendary technique in Kidd of all people…

“Kidd! And you still say you don’t want to be a swordsman?!”

Make glared at him.

“Didn’t you say, all these years, that you never wanted to be a swordsman?!”

“Listen to me!”

Seeing both of them interrogating him, Kidd let out a bitter laugh.

“Believe it or not… this all started when I ran into a certain ‘super tycoon’ in the Singularity Battlefield.”

“I think he was just so rich that he found joy in throwing money around.”

“I only learned the Sword of Judgement because he thought it would be funny to force it on me after I told him I didn’t want to be a swordsman!”

At this point, Kidd was practically in tears.

Sensing the Grand Senator’s suddenly murderous gaze, Kidd hurriedly shrank behind Make for cover.

“Mentor, I was just telling the truth! Why is the Grand Senator so angry?”

However, Make was even more irritated by Kidd’s plea for help. Without hesitation, he kicked Kidd out from behind him and back into the open.

“Kidd, being valued and mentored by the Grand Senator is your fortune!”

“From now on, follow the Grand Senator closely—you are the future Sword Saint of our Holy Light Temple!”

As Make spoke, Lucas had already grabbed Kidd’s round, plump body and whisked him away at high speed.

A swordsman talent like Kidd had slipped through their fingers once—they couldn’t afford to let him run wild again!

“Kidd, from now on, you will train diligently under me! I will show you why leading the charge is a man’s true romance!”

Seeing the fanatic gleam in Lucas’ eyes as he spoke, Kidd suddenly felt like half of his body had already been buried in the ground.

He couldn’t help but curse internally:

“Big Bro Velen, you’re really the best brother I’ve ever had!”

Inside the Fortress

As Velen lay comfortably in bed, sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was secretly talking about him behind his back.

“I’ve always loved helping others. How could anyone be speaking ill of me? Must be my imagination!”

With that thought, Velen quickly adjusted his mindset and slept soundly until late morning.

By the time the sun was high in the sky, Velen stretched lazily and glanced at his system interface.

Special Items: 10 Level 9 Furnaces!

?

Velen rubbed his eyes vigorously, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

From Robert, he had already learned just how precious Level 9 furnaces were—a priceless treasure for alchemists and blacksmiths across the galaxy.

Yet, now the system had casually gifted him ten of them, just for showing off his wealth?

These furnaces were even rarer than the corpse of a Dark Dragon!

Just as Velen was contemplating how best to flaunt his fortune, he suddenly heard the sound of his front door being kicked open.

“Velen! That’s a god-tier furnace! How could you just leave it lying around in the courtyard?!”

Storming into the room in a rage, Anastasia glared at Velen.

“Lord Anastasia, no matter how impressive the Flame Dragon Furnace is, it’s just a tool. There’s no need to make such a big deal out of it.”

Velen had assumed that after witnessing his extravagant displays of wealth before, Anastasia would have adjusted her mindset.

But apparently, she was still the same as ever.

She placed too much importance on resources. If he wanted to change her mindset, he still had a long way to go.

“A furnace of this caliber deserves all the reverence it can get!”

Anastasia was on the verge of mental collapse from Velen’s indifference.

She had tolerated his previous extravagance, even though those items were valuable and rare, they were at least somewhat obtainable in the galaxy.

But the Flame Dragon Furnace—even in the Upper Plane Universe of his past life, this was an absolute treasure of the highest order!

Unwilling to let Anastasia dwell on the furnace issue, Velen swiftly changed the topic.

“There’s no need to fuss over that furnace, Lord Anastasia. If you like rare furnaces, I actually have ten more Level 9 furnaces that, while not as powerful as the Flame Dragon Furnace, are still quite impressive. Want to see them?”

As he spoke, Velen directly summoned all ten Level 9 furnaces before him.

Boom!

As the ten Level 9 furnaces appeared, the surging waves of heat forced everyone nearby to squint their eyes against the searing air.

Even Anastasia, caught off guard, was forced to step back under the intense heat pressure, immediately sensing the dangerous energy radiating from them.

“T-Ten Level 9 furnaces?!”

After steadying herself, Anastasia stared at the sudden appearance of these legendary furnaces, her expression frozen in utter shock.

It was as if her face had been permanently molded in astonishment—no amount of force could pry it off.

These were Level 9 furnaces!

The top-tier furnaces in the entire galaxy!

How had Velen suddenly pulled out so many?!

At that moment, Anastasia’s face darkened as a serious thought crossed her mind.

“Velen… You’re not planning to flaunt your wealth with these furnaces again, are you?”

From what she knew of Velen, ninety percent of the time, whenever he brought something out, it was purely to flex.

“You understand me best, Lord Anastasia! Showing off my wealth is my one true passion!”

Velen nodded seriously.

“If you have any suggestions on how to flaunt it better, I’d love to hear them!”

Anastasia: “…”

She was utterly speechless.

At this point, she didn’t even dare to continue this conversation.

Who knew if Velen would pull out even more insane treasures and shatter her sanity completely?

So, in the end, she simply sighed, deciding to leave immediately before she lost her mind.

After all, she couldn’t control Velen anyway.

However, after leaving Velen’s courtyard, Anastasia wasn’t about to ignore the problem entirely.

She headed straight to Robert’s courtyard.

Velen had brought out far too many Level 9 furnaces this time.

If Robert saw them—especially if he learned that Velen planned to waste them—he might die of sheer anger on the spot.

“No way! I have to get Robert out of here for a while, or things will get messy!”

Sighing heavily, Anastasia arrived at Robert’s courtyard and immediately spoke up:

“Senator Robert, the fortress is running low on several alchemical materials and resources. You should go purchase some immediately.”

Hearing this, Robert narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

Why was Anastasia suddenly trying to get him out of the fortress?

“Lord Anastasia, if we need something, we can simply have it delivered from the auction house.”

“If it’s something difficult to obtain, I can personally handle it. There’s no need to leave the fortress…”

As he spoke, Robert suddenly had a realization.

“Wait… Lord Anastasia, do you not want me staying in the fortress?”

He directly asked:

“Can you just tell me the reason outright? No need to be so secretive.”

Hearing Robert’s direct question, Anastasia was momentarily at a loss for words.

She had never dealt with something like this before, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.

Glancing in the direction she had just come from, Robert’s expression turned thoughtful.

“Wait… Is Velen up to something ridiculous again? And you don’t want me to see it?”

Seeing Anastasia’s pupils contract slightly, Robert immediately knew he had hit the mark.

He chuckled softly.

“Lord Anastasia, you underestimate my mental resilience. No matter how extravagant he gets, I can handle it!”

Saying this, Robert’s curiosity was fully piqued.

He rushed toward Velen’s courtyard without hesitation.

“What in the world is Velen doing this time? Just how absurd is it to make Lord Anastasia this nervous?!”

Watching Robert’s departing figure, Anastasia sighed deeply, her face filled with concern.

Robert only had an 8th-level furnace.

If he saw Velen casually wasting Level 9 furnaces, wouldn’t he scream on the spot?
