Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 580 Trespasser!

Vritra gave his full attention to the explanation, realizing that for the moment, the seed had to be left alone as he lacked the means to interfere with it.

"Is this freezing climate going to last until the trials begin?" he inquired.

"Indeed, many shifts are possible. This weather also serves as a clue regarding the nature of the upcoming game," Divine answered.

Fixing his gaze on the seed, Vritra decided to conceal it once more. With a simple motion of his hand, the scattered fragments of white stone rose into the air.

Utilizing his Dust manipulation, he fused the stone back together, restoring it to a nearly flawless state.

Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't have been broken; after all, no entity of such power was supposed to exist on this planet yet.

Even Jack, the prophesied hero, had not yet attained the Lord rank.

"That reminds me, I must locate Jack before he ends any lives." Vritra had nearly pushed the hero out of his mind—perhaps fate was attempting to shield the boy?

Unfortunately, Maeve, who shared the strongest bond with him, had initiated her evolution and was currently unable to assist.

He decided to return home first to brief his wives so they could initiate a widespread search for Jack.

"Let us depart. I will clarify the situation once we reach the house."

The four of them took to the skies, flying through the intensifying blizzard and heavy snow.

...

Vritra gently cleared the accumulated snow from Yasmine’s head and shoulders, repeating the gesture for Fiona and Teresa.

Upon hearing Vritra’s call, Vanessa and Diana halted their training sessions and emerged to meet him.

"Listen, this object is a seed. It will transform into the primary engine of ruin if we fail the trial. Furthermore, when the game commences..."

While projecting an image for them to see, Vritra detailed the situation to his five wives.

In his heart, he longed for Yennefer’s swift return, feeling the weight of her absence.

Once she emerged, he planned to take her along and allow her to slaughter as many demons and demon lords as her heart desired.

"Honey, I shall begin the hunt for Jack immediately," Vanessa declared.

"Dear, my control over the continent isn't fully restored yet, but since news of my return has spread, loyalists are flocking back to my side."

Diana spoke with intent; she was eager to eliminate the Golden Moon members who were currently posturing as masters in her own palace.

The day after tomorrow, however, would be their day of reckoning.

"Do not worry, we will settle every debt very soon. Use all your resources to track him down. Contact the World Information Centre as well; their tracking capabilities are superior," Vritra instructed.

"Darling, I will mobilize everyone in my kingdom for this search as well," Fiona added, simply happy to be by his side again as they were in the past.

"Wifey, you need to begin absorbing the core. Everyone must bolster their strength rapidly. Tess, that applies to you as well," Vritra noted, looking toward them.

"Understood," they both replied, acknowledging the tedious but vital necessity of the task.

The group moved into action. Vanessa was the first to return to the City of Charms to organize the search parties.

Once her orders were issued, she went back to her cultivation. Thanks to that nameless treasure, her power was surging at a remarkable pace.

Diana followed a similar path, returning to her training after coordinating her search teams. With the Tomb of the Gods treasure aiding her, her growth was equally explosive.

Yasmine and Teresa began a joint training session, drawing energy directly from the core.

Teresa also had to devise ways to protect the common folk and other races from the biting cold, as it appeared the temperature would only continue to plummet.

Realizing it had been far too long since he had spent quality time with Fiona, Vritra decided to take her out.

The two of them dressed appropriately for the winter, though the cold could not truly harm them.

Just as Vritra was leaving his residence, Hellmancer arrived, carrying the mangled remains of two corpses.

It was evident that the men from Divine Kage had suffered greatly under Hellmancer’s interrogation.

"Well done. Remain here and guard the premises," Vritra commanded. He swiftly converted the deceased men into soul wraiths, adding them to his massive personal army.

His legion now numbered in the thousands, with even the lowest-ranking guard being a beginner Lord, while many others were far more powerful.

"Fiona, our first stop will be the Phoenix Kingdom," Vritra said, adjusting her hood and brushing her warm cheek.

"As you wish, darling," the redhead answered with a radiant beam, overjoyed to have this moment with him.

They flew off together, their fingers tightly interlaced.

Despite the worsening climate, the flight offered a unique perspective.

Below them lay a world transformed into a beautiful, unbroken landscape of white snow.

The sun was completely obscured by the storm, and the environment promised to grow even harsher.

Fiona and Vritra savored the view as they eventually reached the borders of the Phoenix Kingdom.

To their surprise, a few sentries were stationed at the gates.

As Fiona touched down before them, the snow in their immediate vicinity evaporated instantly from her heat.

The startled guards recognized her and bowed in a frantic hurry. "G-Greetings, Empress! We have been awaiting your arrival!"

Fiona paid them no mind, continuing her walk with Vritra while chatting happily about trivial matters.

Only after the pair had moved on did the guards dare to stand straight, questioning if that was truly their ruler.

Was the Empress, known for her volatile temper and bloodlust, truly speaking so softly to someone?

Had they caught a glimpse of her actual expression, their shock would have been ten times greater.

"It seems your people truly fear you, Fiona. You used to be so kind to everyone," Vritra remarked, shaking his head. He was glad she was becoming more open with him.

Upon reaching a vacant hall, Fiona turned to Vritra. "Darling, give me just a moment to summon everyone here."

She pulled a glyph from her storage and channeled mana into it, triggering the emergency alarms.

Within sixty seconds, dozens of officials and warriors sprinted toward the hall, alerted to their Empress’s return.

"Go on, handle your affairs. I will wait for you outside," Vritra said. Before she could object, he began strolling toward a nearby row of buildings.

Fiona gave a soft hum of agreement, determined to conclude the meeting as fast as possible.

Vritra stopped in front of a shop selling various sweets. The aroma was pleasant, so he decided to buy some.

Since he was wealthy in gold, the inflated prices caused by the weather were of no concern to him.

"You're a new face. Who are you?" As Vritra collected his candies, he was approached by three men.

Due to their fire-based nature and high resilience, the phoenix kin were less bothered by the freezing temperatures than others.

Vritra looked back, sensing immediately that they were merely looking to shake him down for money, as the disaster had made everything exorbitantly expensive.

"Ignore me and just... leave," Vritra replied. These three were so pathetically weak that killing them felt like it would only stain the ground.

"Hey, guards! We've found a trespasser! A thief is right here, come quickly!" they began to yell, looking at Vritra with cunning eyes.

As the natural disaster worsened, the crime rate in the city had clearly begun to rise.
