Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 570 The House
Previously on Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill...
Having successfully breached one of the most secure vaults in existence, Vritra stared at the various treasures protected by shimmering barriers.
Since he was already here, what other option did he have besides plundering every single item?
Besides, Zihong was already imprisoned; leaving these riches behind would be a complete waste.
Acting as a benevolent soul, Vritra decided the most righteous path was to assist that unfortunate demi god by taking it all.
Approaching the primary barrier, Vritra halted. The contents were obscured, but he noticed a small pedestal standing beside each energy field.
They were identical to the mechanisms used to unlock the main vault door.
'It seems a key is required for every individual barrier,' Vritra mused, retrieving Zengis from his inventory.
"Zengis, our friendship remains intact even if you are merely a key," he whispered before placing the stone upon the pillar. However, the barrier remained active.
Vritra’s brow furrowed. He picked up Zengis and attempted to slot him in every conceivable orientation, yet the barrier didn't budge.
"What is this? Was Zengis only the key for the entrance? What about these internal locks... wait, it can't be!" Vritra pulled Zengis’s female counterpart from his inventory.
The moment he placed Pinky on the pedestal, the barrier hummed and dissolved instantly.
"So even my best friend's wife was part of Divine's setup?" Vritra sighed, marveling at the sheer depth of Divine’s long-term schemes.
Finally, he looked at the object revealed behind the barrier. It was... a toy house?
"What exactly is this?" Vritra lifted the miniature structure, which appeared to be crafted from dark, obsidian-like stones.
"That is your new residence. Do you find it to your liking?" Divine inquired.
"...And how am I supposed to use it?" Vritra checked the dimensional book and channeled mana into the object, but it remained inert.
"Simply apply a drop of your blood to it, and a brand new home will be yours. Just understand that Zihong endured many hardships to acquire this dwelling," Divine explained.
"..." Vritra pricked his finger, letting a single drop of blood fall onto the toy house, and waited.
[You have acquired the House of Darkness.]
[Would you like to manifest its true form?]
"Yes," Vritra confirmed. The tiny house floated away from his hand and began to expand rapidly.
It grew larger and larger...
In a matter of seconds, it transformed into a massive edifice, more grand than any palace he had ever encountered.
Dark flames seemed to flicker across the walls, yet the interior radiated a sense of comfort and warmth.
The building contained numerous rooms, and Vritra sensed he could modify the layout according to his will.
He chose to keep the room count manageable. He designated one massive chamber where he would sleep with all his wives.
Additionally, each wife was assigned a private room with doors that acted as portals, leading directly to locations they had previously designated.
This allowed his wives to travel seamlessly between the various kingdoms and their new home.
The interior was adorned with statues, fine art, and an army of stone sentinels. Such an opulent residence would be considered a priceless treasure anywhere.
Every stone guard possessed power equal to or exceeding that of a Lord, and there were no fewer than five thousand of them.
Since it was impossible to explore the entire estate in such a short window, Vritra decided to conduct a proper tour with his wives later.
For now, he needed to uncover what other spoils were hidden here.
'Divine promised me a house, so Drino's assault, that Nuclear Fist strike, and everything else was part of his plan?' Vritra wondered just how far Divine’s power had evolved.
Divine had started as a mere transmigrator, yet he had survived countless games and changed entirely following the tragic loss of his sisters.
Storing the massive house back into his dimensional book, Vritra returned to the vault. Several barriers still needed to be opened.
He moved Pinky to the second pedestal, and the second barrier vanished immediately.
"What do we have here?"
A massive pile of small, spherical orbs was revealed. They weren't mana cores, yet they vibrated with a peculiar form of energy.
"That is the universal currency. Those are shards. Once the game commences, you will realize their true worth," Divine clarified.
"Hmm, there’s a mountain of them. What’s the estimated value?" Vritra surveyed the pile, estimating there were roughly five hundred thousand shards.
"This represents the life savings of a demi god who survived five games. Before his departure, he secured the largest possible loan from the World Bank," Divine replied.
"Does that imply he reached Level 5? And what’s the story with the loan?" Vritra asked, tossing a shard back onto the heap.
After a brief silence, Divine explained, "He took the maximum loan because if one ascends to godhood, all debts are erased without repayment.
He had plenty of time and was confident he could find the necessary items on the Zoratian planet to become a god. Sadly, he met his end before succeeding."
He added, "So, this is a fortune. A truly massive amount of money."
"Excellent, I'm wealthy once again!" Vritra cheered, teleporting the shards into his inventory. They might be useless now, but they would be vital later.
He proceeded to the third barrier. With Pinky serving as the key, the field dropped to reveal an emblem etched with intricate, alien patterns.
"What’s this? Some kind of defensive charm?" Vritra asked as he lifted the emblem. It was surprisingly heavy.
"In a way, but it functions more as a mark of status. Keep it well-hidden; this emblem will grant you significant advantages once the game begins," Divine said.
Vritra nodded. This meant more influence and authority—a definite win.
He placed it in his inventory but then transferred it to the divine realm so no one could track his location through its signature.
"This is going much better than I anticipated." Vritra rubbed his palms together and, with Pinky in hand, moved to the fourth barrier.
Upon unlocking it, he found hundreds of thousands of tiny cubic fragments. They were clearly something more than standard glyphs.
"And these?" Vritra attempted to use his appraisal skill, but no information appeared.
"These are more valuable than the currency. They are fragments of the first Mythic Halo and are essential for high-level crafting," Divine answered.
"I see. I can't use them much, but... I'm certain Tess would find them useful," Vritra muttered. He then asked, "It won't be an issue if I bring my wives out here, right?"
"Yes, they are shielded from sensing anything happening in this location, so it is safe," the voice replied.
Vritra peered into the divine realm and saw his wives standing together, their faces etched with anxiety.
Yasmine was awake and had been freed from the bubble. Though the sphere was incredibly durable, Tess had managed to extract her without shattering it.
Aside from Yennefer, all of them were in good health.
Vritra teleported the entire group into the vault. The six women looked around in a daze, completely caught off guard.
"Master, where are we?" Maeve asked before quickly adding, "Are you hurt?"
"Honey..." Vanessa wrapped her arms around Vritra, checking him for wounds and sighing when she found none.
"I'm fine, really. We are currently inside the World Bank's high-security locker room," Vritra began, explaining the situation to them.
"Hubby, I caused so much trouble for you..." Yasmine embraced him tightly, imagining the struggle he must have faced against the demi god.
"Don't say that, wifey. It wasn't your fault. Also, there is something else you need to hear..." He then revealed the truth about her past life's connection to Divine.
"W-What? He was my brother? Is that why the demons were so desperate to kill me? Why my parents had to give their lives?"
Yasmine had always suspected her parents' deaths and the attacks on the dragon kingdom were linked to her, but now the truth was clear.
Vritra held her closer, stroking her hair. "Don't take the blame. It's all because of that scoundrel Divine. You were a victim too. From this point on, things will change for the better."
After a few moments of comfort, they stepped back. Vritra turned to Teresa. "Tess, take these. I believe they’ll be very useful for your work."
Teresa looked at the pile of miniature cubes, her eyes widening in recognition.
"Is it really alright for me to have these?" She hesitated, clearly wanting them.
"Of course. They belong to you now. Use them to build whatever you desire," Vritra encouraged.
Teresa wasted no time sweeping them into her inventory, her mind already racing with crafting possibilities.
Finally, using Pinky, Vritra opened the next barrier to find a massive hoard of weapons and armor.
The equipment was varied, with most items at the Lord rank.
On the Zoratian planet, any piece from this pile would be a legendary treasure, yet here they were stacked like junk.
There were even higher-tier items, which Vritra promptly stored.
He intended to distribute some to his wives and feed the remaining gear to Goop.
He then moved to the final barrier. Once unlocked, two distinct objects appeared before Vritra.
