Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Sapphire Space Bag, Devour and Upgrade

Seraphina Sullivan had been on high alert, and she knew it was trouble the instant Chester Donovan appeared.

At almost the exact same moment he raised his gun, she and Sean Chandler used their incredible reflexes to dive to opposite sides.

A scorching shock wave and a spray of shrapnel erupted from the spot where they had just been standing!

Having forced the two back with a single shot, Chester Donovan didn’t even glance at the outcome. He lunged forward like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey, charging straight for the Silenti that was clutching the [Petrification Star], his eyes burning with greed and fanaticism!

Seraphina had just steadied herself. When she saw Chester Donovan not only attack them but also charge directly toward the Stone of Death, her initial fear was instantly replaced by a sense of absurdity and schadenfreude.

’Heh. He’s really digging his own grave. The idiot is asking to die!’

Chester Donovan completely failed to notice the way Seraphina was looking at him, as if he were already a dead man.

His mind was consumed by the strange energy radiating from the Glowing Green Fluorite and its potential, immense value. His face was alight with the greedy excitement of someone about to claim a priceless treasure.

He strode toward the green light, his thoughts on the special Effect of his Space Equipment. ’All I have to do is feed it this special-looking stone, and my space bag will grow and expand.’

’With more space, I can hoard even more weapons.’

Chester Donovan could already picture it: himself, armed with countless Fire Weapons, laying waste to everything around him with his [Full Firepower] Talent.

However, his euphoria was short-lived.

The instant one of his feet stepped into the effective range of the [Petrification Star]’s eerie green glow, a terrible sensation—cold, stiff, and rapidly spreading—shot through his arm like an electric current!

"What’s going on?!" Chester Donovan looked down in horror, only to discover that the hand he had stretched out to grab the green stone was losing color and sensation at a visible rate, its skin rapidly turning grayish-white and coarse.

And this terrifying Petrification was spreading rapidly up his arm toward his shoulder and torso!

"No! How could this be?! Why am I being petrified?!"

Chester Donovan let out a desperate and incredulous roar, whipping his head around to look at Seraphina Sullivan and Sean Chandler in the distance.

He saw Seraphina wearing a smug ’beats me’ expression, and she even gave a little shrug as if in sympathy.

Then, to add insult to injury, he heard her say, "I was going to warn you, you know. But then you attacked us right off the bat."

Chester Donovan understood instantly.

He whipped his head around, his gaze locking onto the Silenti clutching the glowing stone, his eyes filled with horror and regret!

"It’s this thing! It’s the stone’s light!!"

But by the time he realized, it was already too late.

Even as he desperately tried to stop, his body’s immense inertia still pushed him forward another two steps, exposing him even more completely to that deadly, eerie green light!

"No—!!!"

All he could do was let out a scream of utter terror and indignation as he watched helplessly, the sensation of Petrification washing over his chest, his neck, his head... until finally, his consciousness, his expression, his every movement, solidified completely.

Transformed into a grayish-white stone statue, frozen in a lunging, grasping pose. It stood there in the eerie green glow, radiating an Aura of pure despair.

Seraphina Sullivan watched the scene unfold and sighed softly. "Well, it’s true what they say. In a place like this, greed is the cardinal sin that’ll get you killed the fastest."

’A wave of fear washed over her in hindsight. If my [Analysis Glasses] hadn’t identified the stone’s terrifying Effect ahead of time, I’d be the one who’s a statue right now.’

"But..."

Her tone shifted as a cunning smile spread across her face. "Hehe, this works out perfectly for me. Talk about an easy score."
