Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Mysterious Grand Prize, Monster King

With Beau Soto, the head of the research institute, personally vouching for them and intervening, the quarantine and inspection process for Seraphina Sullivan and her group was greatly simplified.

They were placed in the relatively comfortable temporary living units attached to the research area, where they underwent 24 hours of basic biological scanning and medical observation.

Naturally, the results came back completely normal, with no signs of parasites or infection.

As soon as the quarantine period ended,

Beau Soto quickly arranged a top-level internal hearing and verification session for Dr. Ford and her research findings.

Meanwhile, as a reward for their successful escort,

Seraphina Sullivan, Chet Lucius, and the others received temporary permits to live and move about within the inner areas of Shelter No. 3.

As the heavy airtight door separating the inner and outer zones slowly closed behind her, a Shelter that was simple but brimming with order unfolded before her eyes.

Seraphina Sullivan knew that the core, most difficult part of this instance was finally over.

Right on cue, the crisp sound of a system notification echoed in her mind,

bringing with it the relief of a completed mission.

[Ding! Main Quest One: Reach the military Shelter (Inland Shelter No. 3). Complete!]

[Quest Completion Reward: Immediate access granted to return to the real world. This access has no time limit. You may communicate with the system via thought at any time to select "Return."]

Seraphina Sullivan took a deep breath, savoring the hard-earned relaxation, but she didn’t choose to return immediately.

[Ding! Main Quest Two: Protect Sharon Lynn and ensure her safe arrival at Military Shelter No. 3. Complete!]

[Quest Completion Reward: A Special Storyline Treasure Chest has been delivered to your personal Space. Please check for it.]

A quaint Treasure Chest, lined with a soft, golden filigree, lay quietly in a corner of her Space.

With a flicker of her will, Seraphina Sullivan stored it away, not opening it then and there.

’I’ll deal with this when I get back,’ she thought.

Sean Chandler’s luck had always been far better than hers—the guy was a bona fide King of Fortune.

With him around, maybe some of his luck would rub off on a veteran unlucky charm like her when she opened the Treasure Chest.

Then came the most important notification of all:

[Ding! Hidden Quest: Spark of Hope (Safely escort Dr. Sophia Ford and her research, ’Barrier Breaker Type I,’ to Shelter No. 3 and complete the handover). Complete!]

[Mysterious Grand Prize! Now available. Please claim!]

’Here it is!’ Seraphina’s spirits lifted. She focused her will and selected "Claim."

A dazzling flash of light, rippling with a strange, mystical energy, pulsed through her consciousness.

No physical object appeared in her Space. Instead, a segment of clear, cold text was branded directly into her mind:

[Congratulations, you have obtained a piece of Secret-Class intelligence for the ’Monster Apocalypse’ instance—]

[Secret Intelligence: Core of Calamity (Fragment)]

...Within the known Blight Beast hierarchy, ’Catastrophe Level’ is not the final stage of Evolution.

Based on ancient records of cataclysms and extrapolations from residual high-dimensional Energy, individuals exist that transcend the Catastrophe Level—they have been named [Monster Kings].

The birth and advent of each King corresponds to the collapse and reshaping of a global ecosystem or Energy cycle.

They are not merely conglomerations of Power; they are likely the very source of Blight Beast tides, spatial rifts, and even certain cataclysmic phenomena.

It is believed that once a ’King’ fully descends and anchors itself to reality, the probability of that world’s civilization surviving will approach zero.

This is... an absolute, irreversible harbinger of the end.

Seraphina Sullivan: ???

She stared at the block of text, completely bewildered.
