Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Control, Conspiracy

Simon Lewis scowled at the suddenly berserk giant ape, his eyes flashing with impatience.

"So damn noisy."

With a flick of his wrist, three Flying Knives transformed into streaks of cold light, shooting straight for the giant ape’s throat, eyes, and heart.

But in the next second—

The giant ape opened its mouth and violently spewed a huge cloud of thick, white mist!

The mist spread like a living entity, instantly blanketing the entire trading area in the blink of an eye!

"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!"

"What is this stuff?! I can’t see a thing!"

"Dammit! Is this mist poisonous?!"

The white mist reduced visibility to absolute zero.

Everything was a sea of white; you couldn’t even see your own hand in front of your face.

The sounds of frantic footsteps, curses, and collisions rose and fell. The already chaotic scene devolved into a mess of people stumbling around like headless chickens.

Connor Webb was also fumbling his way backward through the mist.

He couldn’t see a thing, relying solely on his memory of the layout to move.

’What a pain... I should get out of here first... The item is still there, so I’ll just come back for it later...’

Before he could finish the thought, he suddenly felt something brush past him.

’Was that the wind?’

’Or...’

Connor Webb’s heart clenched, but he quickly relaxed.

’What’s there to be afraid of?’

’I have several lives.’

’Even if someone did ambush me, dying once is no big deal.’

With that thought, he continued to feel his way forward.

But what he didn’t know was,

three meters behind him, a figure stood in complete silence.

Seraphina Sullivan.

The instant the white mist descended, she had made her move.

Using the [Transformation Ring]’s Aura Transformation, no one could quickly detect her movements.

After applying the [Invisibility Sticker], her form vanished completely into the mist.

With the two items combined, she was now a true "Invisible Man."

She stood in the mist, looking toward Simon Lewis.

Her [Eye of Resume] pierced through the white mist, precisely locking onto the coordinates of the Hound’s leader.

Simon Lewis was coughing in the mist.

The white mist wasn’t toxic, but it was so thick that inhaling it was unpleasantly choking.

He coughed and cursed under his breath, trying to clear a path with his Flying Knives, but he couldn’t see a thing and could only feel his way forward based on memory.

Just then, a cloyingly sweet fragrance, a stark contrast to the white mist, wafted into his nostrils.

The fragrance was too strong, far too potent to belong in the white mist.

It was like the sweetest candy, the most fragrant pastry, making one who smelled it want to... relax, indulge, and obey...

Simon Lewis’s pupils contracted violently!

’Something’s wrong!’

He had survived countless life-or-death situations; his instinct for danger was sharper than anyone’s.

’This fragrance is definitely not right!’

But before he could react,

Seraphina Sullivan’s [Sweet Fragrance] Skill had already activated.

An upgraded version, at that.

After returning from the monster apocalypse, Seraphina Sullivan had gotten three [Skill Upgrade Cards] from a Treasure Chest.

Two went to her [Scavenger’s Farm], making the pocket Space even larger.

Seraphina Sullivan chose to use the last one on [Sweet Fragrance].

Now, the Effect of [Sweet Fragrance] was a whole level stronger than before.

The Control duration was longer, and its hold was stronger.

The cloying fragrance silently seeped into Simon Lewis’s senses.

Bit by bit, it began Softening his vigilance, bit by bit, it blurred his hostility...

The look in Simon Lewis’s eyes began to lose focus.

He stood in place, immobile.
