Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Chapter96-Eye of Annihilation
Velen had previously mentioned that Sophia was his mentee, but Ethan still had some doubts. After all, Velen had also said that Sophia was the saintess of the Tarot Order.

The saintess of the Tarot Order—her status and strength were both extraordinary.

How could she possibly be Velen’s mentee?

But now, Sophia had personally admitted it!

Clearly, she truly was Velen’s mentee!

Velen was simply incredible!

Within the Titan Galaxy, the strongest faction had never been definitively identified. After all, for so many years, internal conflicts within Titan Galaxy were rare, and top forces had always concealed part of their strength.

Thus, the true dominant force in Titan Galaxy remained uncertain.

However, if one were to name the most arrogant and influential faction,

It would undoubtedly be the Tarot Order!

Because of their ability to peer into fate, they had always held themselves above others and never regarded other factions as equals.

Yet now, the saintess of the Tarot Order had actually become Velen’s mentee.

Considering what Ethan knew about the councilors of the Tarot Order, if they found out, they would be absolutely furious!

Velen’s methods were truly remarkable!

After all, if nothing unexpected happened, the saintess of the Tarot Order would one day become its Speaker, leading the entire Tarot Order!

And now, as Velen’s mentee and having such a close relationship with him, wouldn’t that mean that the Tarot Order itself might one day fall under Velen’s influence?

Thinking of this, Ethan felt his scalp tingle. For the first time, he felt that knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing!

At this moment, Velen took out the World Chessboard and handed it to Sophia.

“This is what you came here for, right? Take it. Deliver it to the Tarot Order.”

Velen spoke casually.

Seeing the World Chessboard in Velen’s hands, Sophia was slightly surprised.

She had already realized—

The one who had caused such a massive disturbance and annihilated the Triad Sanctum from behind the scenes was actually her own mentor!

Then, Sophia blinked her large eyes and earnestly asked,

“Mentor, since no one else is around, can you tell me why you destroyed the Triad Sanctum?”

Velen hadn’t expected Sophia to ask such a question and was momentarily unsure how to respond.

His reason for destroying the Triad Sanctum was simple: he didn’t want them to affect the fortress, and he also wanted to give the pre-guards a chance to stretch their legs.

Other than that, he had no particular motive.

But what was Sophia imagining now?

Seeing that Velen didn’t answer, Sophia didn’t press further. Instead, she declared fiercely,

“The Triad Sanctum actually dared to obstruct mentor, getting in the way of your grand plan—they were seeking their own doom!”

Saying this, Sophia clutched the World Chessboard in her hand and solemnly vowed,

“Mentor, don’t worry! I have already received unprecedented recognition from the Tarot Order. With this World Chessboard, my status will rise even further. Before long, I should be able to take full control of the Tarot Order!”

“And with the Chaos Barrier you granted me, I can negate the side effects of peering into fate. Using the Tarot Order’s most sacred treasures, I can now assist you as well!”

“I will not be weaker than that senior sister of mine!”

Velen massaged his temple as the veins throbbed on his forehead.

Good grief, how long had it been since they last met? His mentee, the Queen of Overthinking, seemed to have gotten even worse.

He really didn’t have any of those bizarre, devious schemes in mind!

These words were practically slander against his character!

At that moment, Ethan suddenly dropped to his knees, swearing,

“Velen, I heard nothing just now! If a single word of today’s conversation ever leaks, may I die a horrible death…”

Ethan made a solemn oath on the spot!

Sophia’s words had utterly shaken him.

He never expected Velen, who usually seemed so harmless, to be so ruthless behind the scenes!

And to have such an earth-shattering plan!

Hearing all this, he was afraid he might be silenced!

Seeing Ethan suddenly kneel and swear an oath, Velen was completely dumbfounded.

“Senator Ethan, what are you doing?”

He could understand Sophia, the Queen of Overthinking, indulging in her wild fantasies—but Ethan? A renowned master forger? How could he also start spewing nonsense?

Something that was originally simple—how had they managed to make it so complicated?

“Velen, I understand the rules. Don’t worry, from now on, I am yours! I will never betray you, ever!”

Ethan spoke with unwavering determination.

“Senator Ethan, you are seriously overthinking this. It’s all just nonsense from Sophia—none of it is true!”

Velen prided himself on being a straightforward person. He had no desire to be seen as some kind of scheming mastermind.

Ethan nodded repeatedly, “Right, right, right! It’s not true! I was too stupid earlier and failed to grasp your deeper meaning, Velen!”

Velen: “…”

Is it really so hard to just be a simple person?

Seeing that there was no way to correct their misunderstanding, Velen sighed deeply and then suddenly adopted a serious expression:

“Since you already know, then as you said—today’s events must be kept absolutely secret. Not a word is to be leaked!”

Since there was no way to fix their misunderstanding, he might as well roll with it.

Ethan immediately covered his mouth and nodded furiously, relieved at his own quick thinking.

That was definitely a test from Velen just now. Fortunately, he had reacted in time!

Velen truly was a man with grand ambitions—he was merely biding his time, making his moves in secret!

Seeing Ethan’s “I knew it” expression, Velen didn’t know what to say.

Since Ethan was beyond reasoning with, Velen could only turn to Sophia.

“You have to explain things clearly to Ethan later. Don’t let him keep misunderstanding me!”

Sophia playfully stuck out her tongue. “Don’t worry, mentor! I’ll be sure to explain it properly!”

Hearing this, Velen felt slightly more at ease.

After hesitating briefly, he decided to take Ethan and leave this place.

He did not pass on the abilities of Descent and Council to Sophia.

After all, seeing her like this—if he gave her those abilities, she would definitely pester him endlessly.

“Congratulations, host, for completing the Annihilation of Triad Sanctum mission. You have been awarded 300,000 luxury points and the Ghost Box!”

Ghost Box: A special magical artifact containing tens of thousands of bloodthirsty spirits. Once released, they form an unstoppable spectral army, attacking the souls of their targets. By feeding it your own blood, you can continuously strengthen these spirits. The artifact can grow indefinitely!

Reading the Ghost Box description, Velen’s eyes immediately lit up.

This was a fantastic item!

Soul-attacking artifacts were already rare to begin with. The fact that this one could grow indefinitely—only requiring his own blood as nourishment—was incredible!

Though a bit sinister, its power and potential were simply undeniable!

Seeing how much Velen valued the Ghost Box, the system’s voice suddenly chimed in:

“Host, you are a super tycoon—how could you be impressed by such an item?”

Velen snorted. “System, you call this garbage? Then tell me, what counts as a good item? Don’t just dangle vague promises—I don’t fall for that.”

Previously, it had dismissed the Fenrir bloodline as trash. Now, it was saying the Ghost Box was worthless, too.

Velen was really curious—just how godly did an item have to be to meet the system’s standards?

“Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Eye of Annihilation!”

Eye of Annihilation: Nothing is indestructible! The stars and galaxies lie within your gaze—destruction and creation are but a thought away.

(Due to the host’s low level, it can only be used once per day.)

Reading the description, Velen suddenly felt as if something terrifying had fused into his eyes.

Rubbing them, he opened them again—only to find that the entire world suddenly seemed far smaller.

At the same time, an eerie, annihilating energy surged within his pupils, as if a single thought could obliterate everything.

Velen instantly grew excited—this was definitely a treasure!

Although he hadn’t used it yet, since it was something the system gave to slap him in the face, it had to be extraordinary.

He could feel the overwhelming power contained within his gaze!

Thinking this, Velen decided to test the Eye of Annihilation.

“Velen, is something wrong?” Ethan asked nervously, noticing Velen suddenly pause.

Velen said nothing. His gaze swept over the landscape before locking onto a towering mountain in the distance.

“A ten-thousand-meter-high mountain… should be a good test target.”

With that thought, he channeled all his mana into his eyes.

He narrowed his gaze, beginning to charge the terrifying Annihilation Light—
