Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 153 - 150-Seraphic Rite

"Caitlin, there are still 100 Netherbone Pearls left—bring them out as well!"

The moment Velen said this, Caitlin was completely overwhelmed.

Watching all these priceless treasures being destroyed was sheer torment for someone like her, who cherished them deeply.

However, since Velen had spoken, she had no choice but to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes and reluctantly hand over the 100 Netherbone Pearls she had been hoarding.

Velen accepted them and once again turned to Lucifer and the other two headmasters.

"Old headmasters, do you still not realize your mistake?"

Lucifer and the others exchanged glances, each seeing the same look of confusion in the other’s eyes.

Mistake?

What mistake could they have possibly made?

This Velen was truly something else—if they had actually done something wrong, then fine, let the heavens punish them. But instead, it was Velen tormenting them by destroying these invaluable treasures, shredding their hearts to pieces.

If they had indeed made a mistake, why wasn’t Velen simply pointing it out? Why was he making them guess?

However, when they saw that Velen was about to have Alan destroy the Netherbone Pearls as well, Lucifer and the others, their hearts aching as if they were bleeding, hurriedly intervened.

"Velen, don’t destroy them! We were wrong—we truly were!"

Though they still didn’t know what their mistake was, they couldn’t bear to watch more rare treasures be wasted before their eyes.

"If you admit your mistake, then tell me—what did you do wrong?"

Velen pressed, staring at Lucifer, whose face was twisted with pain.

??

Was he serious?

Lucifer’s face darkened. He nearly smacked Velen on the spot.

As the most senior headmaster of Celestia Academy, he was respected and revered wherever he went—when had he ever been treated this way?

Seeing that Lucifer was fuming but still refusing to reflect seriously, Velen turned back to Alan.

"Continue!"

They were utterly dumbfounded.

Watching as the 100 Netherbone Pearls were crushed to dust, Lucifer and the others were in complete shock.

These had once been among Celestia Academy’s most treasured possessions!

And now, they had been destroyed right before their eyes!

The psychological impact was simply too much to bear.

"Right, Caitlin—I also gave you 100 bottles of Soul Potion. Bring those out as well."

Hearing this, Lucifer and the others felt their hearts skip a beat.

They had already been stunned by the sheer value of what Caitlin had previously taken out.

And now there was even more?!

Just how many treasures had Velen given to Caitlin?!

"Three headmasters, do you realize—"

Before Velen could finish his sentence, Lucifer interrupted him, having already guessed what he was about to say.

"Velen, we were wrong! I still don’t know exactly how we were wrong, but I’ll take full responsibility. Please, stop! Our hearts can’t take this anymore!"

However, Velen simply shook his head. He took the 100 bottles of Soul Potion from Caitlin’s hands and smashed them onto the ground without hesitation.

"You don’t understand? Then let me spell it out for you: all of these resources were gifts from me to Caitlin, meant for her to flaunt her wealth with. But instead of using them, she hoarded them away.

"Tell me—was it not you who instilled this frugality in her?"

Caitlin turned even paler.

Though she had already suspected this was why Velen was upset, hearing him say it outright sent a wave of guilt washing over her.

"Mentor, I realize my mistake now! But these resources are so precious—I couldn’t bear to waste a single one. Each of them represents your trust and support, and the idea of squandering them was unbearable to me. I have disappointed you!"

Caitlin bowed deeply in apology, her sincerity evident.

Velen reached out and helped her up.

"Mistakes are fine—as long as you recognize and correct them, you’re still my good mentee."

Then, he turned to Lucifer and the other two headmasters.

"Your first mistake was raising Caitlin to be too frugal.

"Your second mistake was failing to monitor her properly, ensuring that she used these resources instead of hoarding them."

Lucifer and the others opened their mouths but found themselves at a loss for words.

Good grief.

Caitlin was his mentee, and yet he was scolding them for her habits?

And to think he had just spent all this time torturing them…

"Three headmasters, if you had known Caitlin had these resources, you should have helped her use them immediately! Otherwise, even if I asked her to bring them out, she wouldn’t have been able to!"

"Even if you didn’t need these treasures directly, you could have found ways to use them—like bathing in them or using them to purify the air!"

"With resources like these at your disposal, wouldn’t even the scraps be enough to help you all level up?"

Hearing Velen explain his reasoning so clearly, Lucifer and the others finally understood.

So this was why Velen was so upset with them.

But now that they did understand… they felt even worse!

By Velen’s logic, the only way to avoid his wrath was to ensure that Caitlin spent every single resource she had. If they didn’t help her, he would simply destroy them all.

Either way, these treasures were not staying in Celestia Academy for future mentees.

But between letting Velen waste them and making Caitlin use them to strengthen the academy, the latter was obviously the better choice!

"Velen, if you had just explained this earlier, none of this would have happened!"

"So you want us to encourage Caitlin to flaunt her wealth? No problem! Just say the word!"

Seeing that the three headmasters had seemingly learned their lesson, Velen flipped his hand and took out a formation disk from his storage pouch.

"This is the Divine Glaze Barrier. Once activated, even a group of top-tier Ascended Rank awakeners wouldn’t be able to shake it.

"Of course, you can always choose to reject it."

With that, he casually tossed the disk onto the ground.

"Alan, continue."

"Wait! Velen! We believe you—please stop!"

Lucifer and the other headmasters hurriedly tried to stop him.

They knew by now that, given Velen’s extravagant tendencies, he was absolutely not bluffing.

However, Velen still wasn’t satisfied.

If he was going to change them, he had to go all the way!

Otherwise, they’d eventually slip back into their miserly ways, and all his efforts today would have been for nothing.

If they were going to embrace wealth-flaunting, he had to make sure they truly committed to it.

"System, Caitlin wants to hold a Seraphic Rite to become the heir to the Seraph title, but she lacks the necessary resources. Giving her a hand with that shouldn’t be too much, right?"

The system responded:

[Congratulations, Host! Wealth-Flaunting Triggered! Reward: 100,000 Luxury Points, 1,000 Seraphic Rite resources, and 2 Passes!]

In an instant, Velen saw his system inventory fill with a vast array of high-grade resources, so numerous they nearly blinded him.

Without hesitation, he took out a portion of them and piled them in front of him, forming small mountains of supplies.

"The necessary resources for the Seraphic Rite!"

As Velen unveiled these treasures, Lucifer and the other headmasters locked their gazes on the mountain of wealth before them, their shock beyond words.

Celestia Academy had been in decline for ages. To gather the resources for Caitlin’s Seraphic Rite, they had exhausted nearly all their reserves—and still came up short.

Yet now, Velen had casually produced enough resources for Caitlin to perform the rite dozens of times!

For thousands of years, no Seraph heir had been successfully chosen.

But now, thanks to Velen’s generosity, that might finally change!

The long decline of Celestia Academy—

Could this finally be the turning point?
