Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Obtaining Information, Red Fog Substance

Seraphina Sullivan followed closely behind Cheryl Chase, moving through the dim tunnel, each step landing on slippery moss.

Cheryl Chase’s figure flickered in and out of the light. Her familiarity with this place clearly far surpassed that of Seraphina Sullivan, a newcomer to this instance.

"I really don’t get it. If it weren’t for you researchers, how could the world have become this hellhole!" Cheryl Chase’s complaint echoed in the narrow passage, filled with irrepressible anger.

Seraphina Sullivan listened in silence, her mind racing. She didn’t understand the full story behind it.

’But Cheryl Chase’s hostility toward researchers is so intense... Could it be that this apocalyptic instance, The Insect Frenzy, isn’t a natural disaster, but a man-made one?’

’A disaster caused by the experiment with that so-called Insect Fusion Potion?’

Before she could think further, a skin-crawling CLICKING sound suddenly came from the corner ahead.

A giant spider the size of a truck tire was blocking their path!

Its eight compound eyes glinted with an eerie green light, and corrosive slime dripped from its mandibles. It had clearly been drawn by the sound of them running.

Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes sharpened, her fingers instantly going for the Sound Wave Vibration Gun at her waist.

But Cheryl Chase was faster!

"Get back!" Cheryl Chase barked. Far from retreating, she shot forward like an arrow from a bow, charging straight at the spider!

Her small, thin body erupted with astonishing Power. She leaped high into the air, the jade-green Mantis Scythe in her hand carving a deadly arc through the gloom.

WHIRRR!

The scythe spun at high speed, letting out a faint sound as it cut through the air.

Its blade was nearly invisible in the dim light, leaving only an afterimage in its wake.

SCHLICK!

With a soft sound, like a hot knife slicing through chilled fat.

The giant spider’s head dropped to the ground, rolling to a stop at Seraphina Sullivan’s feet. The eerie light in its compound eyes had yet to extinguish.

Its massive body crashed to the ground, eight barbed legs still twitching erratically.

The whole thing was over in less than two seconds.

The ferocious creature hadn’t even had a chance to retaliate. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seraphina Sullivan’s pupils contracted. She stared in shock at the grimy little girl before her.

’Seraphina considered herself skilled. She had been through two instances, accumulating plenty of combat experience, and the Body Transformation Pills had even enhanced her speed.’

’But the speed, precision, and timing Cheryl Chase displayed in that single strike... it was simply inhuman!’

’What shocked Seraphina even more was the scythe.’

’She’d thought it was something special before, but seeing Cheryl Chase in action confirmed it.’

’That wasn’t just a simple scythe—it was the actual forelimb of some terrifying, mutated mantis! Its sharpness was far beyond anything she could have imagined.’

Cheryl Chase landed lightly, not even glancing at the insect corpse at her feet. She casually scraped the slime from her scythe against one of the dead spider’s legs, her movements astoundingly practiced.

Clearly, this was not the first insect Cheryl Chase had killed.

Chase glanced back and saw the astonishment in Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes. She curled her lip with a sneer that belied her age. "Is that all it takes to scare you? Weren’t you researchers so brave when you were creating monsters in your labs? These insects are nothing but the mess you made. What’s there to be afraid of?"

She said no more, kicked the insect leg out of her path, and strode away.
