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

"Wait, Your Highness Velen!"

"Steven... could it be that he's Apollo's mentee?"

Jerry suddenly thought of something, his face filled with shock as he looked at Velen.

"Velen!!!"

Before Jerry could finish his words, a furious voice rang out from not far away.

Anastasia stood at the entrance of the grand hall, her expression thunderous as she shouted.

Velen was getting more and more out of line!

Why was he bringing in random people into the fortress like it was a public market?

"Who are they?"

"Another group you recruited from the outside?"

"Velen, do you even acknowledge me as the lord of this fortress anymore?"

Anastasia's voice was sharp as she questioned him.

Seeing Anastasia flying over on a magic flying device, Velen quickly instructed the two, "You two, leave for now!"

"Jerry, take Steven down to the base of the peak to settle into a temporary residence. I'll come find you later!"

…

"My god!"

"Am I seeing things? Is the entire ground of this fortress paved with advanced mana crystals?"

As Steven rushed out of the fortress, he finally noticed the dazzling ground beneath his feet.

Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined he would one day be running across a field of endless advanced mana crystals.

This fortress was too outrageously luxurious!

Even the greatest forces in the universe couldn't possibly afford to lay down this many advanced mana crystals at once!

How ridiculously wealthy must his mentor be?

Suddenly, Steven felt extremely certain—coming here was definitely the right choice!

"Jerry, is His Highness Velen's fortress really this extravagant?"

"And by the way, earlier you said something... you know my mentor?"

"His Highness Velen told me that my mentor could take on a hundred Ascended Rank powerhouses by himself! He must be a senior senator of this fortress, right?"

Steven looked at Jerry with bright, eager eyes.

"Senior senator?"

Jerry sneered without mercy, shattering Steven's fantasy.

"Steven, you're overthinking things. Your mentor is just... a servant of the fortress."

???

Steven was completely stunned.

My mentor... is a servant?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Jerry, stop messing with me. How could my mentor possibly be just a servant?"

But the moment Steven met Jerry's sincere, utterly serious gaze, he instantly fell silent.

…

"No way..."

"Jerry, you're not joking, right?"

"My mentor, the one who could defeat a hundred strong Ascended Rank opponents, is just a servant?"

Steven's eyes were wide with disbelief.

How could this be?

Forcing an Ascended Rank powerhouse to serve as a mere servant...

Across the whole universe, no force could possibly pull that off!

"I really didn't expect that the mentee Velen found for Apollo would turn out to be you,"

Jerry said casually.

"But actually, it's not a bad thing. You're no threat to me, and knowing this will definitely make my mentor very happy!"

"Huh?"

Steven blinked. "Wait, the mysterious mentor you kept talking about... he's here too? What does he do in the fortress?"

"My mentor is also a servant!"

Jerry said with a tearful voice, revealing the cruel truth.

???

Steven's mind was completely blown.

Jerry—the once top genius of the Rising Magi Rankings!

And himself—the second-ranked genius!

And yet... their mentors were both servants of this fortress?

Who would believe such a ridiculous story?!

"Brother Jerry," Steven stammered, "how many servants does this fortress have? Could it be that every servant here has taken a Rising Magi genius as their mentee—"

Before Steven could finish, Jerry exploded, roaring furiously, "Enough questions! Is your mouth rented or what? Why won't you stop asking?!"

"There are only two servants in this fortress, one is your mentor, the other is mine!"

"That's it, no more!"

"Let me tell you, not just anyone can become a servant here.

Even I—once the Rising Magi Rankings' number one genius—am unworthy to be a servant here!"

What???

Steven was even more shocked.

"Brother Jerry... what do you mean once the number one genius? What happened?"

Jerry looked as if his soul had been ripped apart, his heart in agony.

"Brother Jerry, what are you looking for?"

"Need me to help?"

Steven asked sincerely, seeing Jerry searching around frantically.

"My wand!!!"

"My super-ultra-mega idiot-destroying wand!!!"

"I'm going to blast you, you damned eternal second place!!!"

...

Inside the fortress's grand hall—

"You recruited another Ascended Rank servant?"

"Those two just now... are the mentees of our two fortress servants?"

After hearing Velen's explanation, Anastasia stood frozen in place.

Looking across the entire fortress, there were still many who hadn't even accepted mentees yet.

And yet, the servants were the first to find some?

Was this real life?

Was this how things should work?

"Velen, seriously, does this make any sense?"

"By the way, how's their talent?"

"Since they're the mentees of our fortress's servants, if they're not too bad, let's just accept them into the fortress."

After a moment of silence, Anastasia decided to just lie flat and accept her fate.

Adding two more members to the fortress wasn't a big deal.

At this point, she was already completely resigned.

Tomorrow, even if Velen brought back two random people claiming they were Sovereigns from the Upper Realms, she'd probably believe it too.

"Hmm?"

Velen was a little surprised by her reaction.

Could it be that after all his relentless efforts, Anastasia had finally been conditioned into acceptance?

"Mentor, their talents... leave much to be desired. They aren't fit to join the fortress yet."

"Let them build temporary residences at the foot of the peak and focus on training. Apollo and Blackgold Sovereign can guide them personally."

Although surprised, Velen still firmly declined to admit them into the fortress.

"They're that bad?"

Anastasia looked doubtful. "But they were ranked first and second in the Rising Magi Rankings... surely their talent isn't that terrible?"

Velen shook his head.

"They don't know how to show off wealth."

Anastasia's lips twitched fiercely.

Velen was... well, just as outrageous as ever.

"Fine, arrange it however you see fit."

She waved her hand, dismissing Velen and returning to her magical practice.

Velen looked at Anastasia's determined figure and nodded seriously to himself.

As expected of Anastasia—truly hardworking and diligent!

…

At the base of the fortress.

"Steven, what happened to your injuries?"

Velen asked, noticing Steven building a simple hut while covered in bandages.

Steven nodded earnestly.

"Your Highness Velen!"

"Before arriving at Chaos City, I encountered a battle genius!"

"Although he's currently only at Titan Rank level 9 peak, once he grows, I'm sure even Jerry won't be his match!"

"My wounds... are from suppressing my power to spar with him!"

Steven explained urgently.

Hmm?

Velen raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Steven's words.

"And what's his name?" Velen asked.

"His name is Nikola!"

Steven answered firmly.

???

Nikola?

Hearing that name, Velen froze on the spot.
