Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Return to Reality, Initiating Hot Pot

Countless Aberrations appeared in the area, all because of Franklin Ross.

Seraphina Sullivan stood perfectly still, her breath catching in her throat.

That guy Franklin Ross’s bloodcurdling screams still echoed in the distance, mingling with the rising and falling roars of the Aberration horde. The entire block had become a playground for monsters.

’I was laying low just fine, and now you pull this crap in the last few minutes?!’ Seraphina cursed inwardly as a thin layer of sweat beaded on her forehead.

She glanced at the instance’s remaining time—4 minutes and 37 seconds left.

If she could just hold out for these few minutes, she would be able to return safely.

The problem was... there were at least a dozen Pryros Aberrations roaming nearby. Their hearing was exceptionally keen. If they discovered her, there was no way she could fight them head-on with her current combat strength.

Aberrations: You’re about to return, so we’ve all gathered for a grand send-off. Are you moved?

Seraphina: So moved I’m frozen in place. No, really, I don’t dare move!

She kept her breathing as shallow as possible, afraid that even the sound of her own heartbeat would attract the monsters.

Her fingers tightened around the Sound Wave Vibration Gun, but Seraphina knew the truth. The High Frequency Interference it emitted could hinder an Aberration, and controlling one or two was no problem. But with so many in front of her, the sounds of battle would only attract more. Besides, the Sound Wave Vibration Gun didn’t have infinite Energy. What would happen when it ran out? Facing countless Aberrations was suicide, and Seraphina had no death wish.

However, the screams soon drew the Aberrations away, lured by that guy Franklin Ross.

Before Seraphina could even let out a sigh of relief,

"Quick, Franklin Ross has led the monsters away! Let’s move!" a low male voice called out.

"The Aberration eggs are in that underground garage up ahead. I heard from someone who killed an Aberration that you get ’Slaughter Points’ for killing them!" said another voice, thick with suppressed excitement.

"I don’t know what these Slaughter Points are actually good for, but they have to be valuable! Maybe we can exchange them for rewards after we return!"

Seraphina narrowed her eyes, observing them through a crack.

Four or five people were furtively making their way toward a shopping mall, holding various weapons. They had clearly come prepared.

Seraphina used [Eye of Resume] to observe them. As expected, they were all Players.

’So that’s how it is...’ Seraphina instantly understood. ’Franklin Ross was just bait. This group’s real target is the Aberration eggs?’

Seraphina was a little curious about the Aberration eggs and the so-called ’Slaughter Points’.

But she had no intention of getting involved.

’Slaughter Points? Rewards? Sounds nice.’

But Seraphina knew better. Anyone who dared to provoke Aberrations at a time like this was either a madman or someone with absolute confidence in their abilities.

And as for her own strength, Seraphina was well aware of her limitations.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t used the Sound Wave Vibration Gun against Aberrations during these seven days. However, the Vibration Gun alone wasn’t enough to actually kill one.

She didn’t want to die. Even with her return imminent, Seraphina felt it was best to just lay low.

In the Doomsday Game, the only true victor was the one who survived to the end.

Just as she was preparing to withdraw quietly, 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening explosion erupted from the direction of the mall, followed by the enraged roars of countless [Aberrations]!

"Damn it!" one of the Players shouted in terror. "Why are there still so many Aberrations guarding this place?!"

"Fuck, the intel was wrong! Retreat! Retreat now! Run!"

But it was already too late.

Countless Pryros Aberrations appeared from everywhere. They locked onto the Players using sound, closed in at high speed, and swung their scythe-like claws.

"SQUELCH!"

One of the Players was sliced in half at the waist before they could even scream!

Seraphina’s breath hitched. She immediately dropped low and began to slowly back away.

’I knew it. Staying out of it was the right call... Protecting my own skin is what matters most!’

However, fate seemed determined to play a cruel joke on her.

After slaughtering the Players, the head of one of the Aberrations turned in Seraphina’s direction.

Seraphina froze.
