Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 177 - 174-Arthur Has a Breakdown
Uno Kingdom – Royal Capital
Hmm?
Arthur, who had been peacefully watering flowers in his courtyard for some wellness time, suddenly noticed a spatial rift tearing open nearby. A flicker of interest flashed across his face.
Who would be so extravagant to use a Spatial Portal just to show up here?
He wasn't worried about it being an enemy — the other four Knight Commanders' estates surrounded his own. Anyone who dared to come here uninvited would be walking into certain death.
"Knight Commander!"
As Eureka stepped out of the rift, she greeted Arthur respectfully.
"You… you used a Spatial Portal to come back?"
Arthur was stunned the moment he saw her.
"It's taken the Uno Kingdom tens of thousands of years to stockpile just over ten thousand of those! That's like getting one every few years — and you're out here wasting it like this?!"
As he spoke, Arthur's right hand holding the watering can began to tremble uncontrollably from rage.
The Kingdom had painstakingly saved up those portals, never willing to use a single one lightly — and here she was, burning one like it was pocket change!
Eureka smiled awkwardly but offered no explanation. Instead, she quickly retrieved the fortress-style airship from her spatial ring.
Without it, Velen and the others wouldn't be able to teleport over directly.
"Knight Commander, come with me inside. I'll introduce you to a few people shortly."
Eureka waved him over as she stepped into the airship.
"Who the hell—!"
"Who in their right mind is using a top-tier Soul Armor Set to hang up their underpants?!"
Arthur had just stepped into the airship when he saw the Soul Armor Set hanging on the cabin wall — and right there, a small pair of soaked undies dangling off it. He nearly coughed up blood from rage.
With two fingers, he gingerly picked up the undies and flicked them aside before turning his attention to the armor itself.
"Such powerful soul energy!"
"It's definitely stronger than my Soul Spear!"
As he spoke, Arthur channeled energy into the armor. A massive wave of soul power surged forth, forming a protective aura so dense it was nearly tangible.
Buzz!
The powerful soul resonance made Arthur's own soul tremble from the pressure.
Hiss—
Even Arthur couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath at the sheer power the armor unleashed.
And this was just from casually activating it. He hadn't even gone all out — yet he could tell the armor's output was at least three times greater than his Soul Spear!
Keep in mind: his Soul Spear was already among the most elite soul-type weapons, and when combined with his soul combat techniques, it could threaten many Ascended Rank opponents of the same tier.
But now this armor… this armor's potential was three times that! How could he not be shaken?
If Clinton had been here to see Arthur's reaction, he definitely would've smugly turned to the Ironback Centipede and said:
"You may squish little kids one at a time. But me? I one-punch 'em so fast they don't even know what killed them!"
Exhale…
With this kind of equipment, Arthur could unleash his soul arts without holding anything back.
Letting out a long breath, Arthur turned to Eureka with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, whose armor is this?"
Hmm?
Instead of answering, Eureka took the armor from his hands and calmly re-hung it on the sword hilt — even re-draping the little underpants back onto it. Arthur began shaking all over from sheer disbelief.
This divine-tier armor… and they had to air-dry underwear on it?
"Knight Commander, this is Clinton's Soul Armor Set."
"It's far more powerful than you realize — what you just experienced is only a tiny fraction of what it's capable of."
"How should I put it… just be mentally prepared. The two people and one spellbeast arriving soon may seem a bit reckless, but whatever you do, don't offend them. They're not people Uno Kingdom can afford to mess with."
Eureka's expression turned deadly serious as she issued the warning.
"They're here!"
Just then, a spatial rift suddenly opened up inside the airship.
Both Eureka and Arthur turned their gazes toward it.
Before long, Kris's pig-headed silhouette poked through the portal.
"Finally, no more Spatial Portal traffic jams," he grumbled as he stepped through.
"You bastard!"
"You wasteful lunatic — you used a Spatial Portal for just a few steps of distance?!"
Arthur, already seething, pulled out his Soul Spear on the spot. He didn't care if it worsened his injuries — he was ready to shoot this guy a few times out of sheer rage. This was too much. Too much waste!
"Arthur? You old fossil?"
Kris was startled to see Arthur standing next to Eureka. When he realized they were still in Arthur's courtyard, he froze.
"Oh crap… it really was just a few steps…"
A few minutes later—
"That terrifying?"
Arthur was completely stunned after listening to Kris describe the fortress.
He never imagined such a terrifying "little" fortress could exist within Uno Kingdom territory.
"Knight Commander Arthur, that's nothing!"
"Do you know how much power is stored in that Soul Armor Set?"
"Do you know its activation triggered a Thunder Tide?"
"Do you know Velen wiped out that Thunder Tide with just a look?"
"In short, that fortress is a colossal force we absolutely cannot provoke. When Velen arrives soon, you'd better be on your best behavior."
Eureka shared what Galdorin had told him, just to prevent any unfortunate incidents when Velen showed up.
After all, Velen's wrath was not something Uno Kingdom could afford to endure!
One rift.
Two rifts.
Three.
Four!
Four spatial rifts appeared simultaneously in the airship. Moments later, Velen, Ironback Centipede, Clinton, and Galdorin emerged — three people and one spellbeast, each stepping out of their respective rifts.
Hiss—
An Ascended spellbeast?!
The moment Arthur and Kris sensed Ironback Centipede's aura, they exchanged stunned glances.
A single fortress… housing three Ascended Rank powerhouses?!
Unbelievable.
"Arthur, I'll need you to help guide this senator from the fortress for a few days while I work on refining a god-rank healing potion."
After brief introductions, Velen got straight to the point.
"Guide him?"
"Your Highness, Clinton also specializes in soul arts. I doubt he needs guidance. But I'd be happy to exchange insights with him."
Arthur responded modestly.
"Knight Commander — it's not like that!"
Eureka quickly tugged on Arthur's sleeve and whispered a quick explanation: that Clinton was an awakener, and that Velen had force-fed him a mountain of Soul Unsheathing fragments to get him to this level.
???
An awakener?
So he used to be a squishy spellcaster, but now, thanks to stuffing himself with soul fragments, he'd casually leapfrogged into a soul-magic melee hybrid?
Something Arthur had worked his entire life to achieve… this kid got it from popping a few soul shards like candy?
Arthur's mental state completely collapsed on the spot.
