Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 602 Disaster

With eyes widened in disbelief, Vritra gazed at the landscape around them, the abrupt shift leaving everyone stunned.

"I-Is this usual?" Yennefer gawked at the bizarre twisted beasts and flora, sensing that the realm had truly altered during her absence.

"No way, this is all new to me as well." Vritra responded, inhaling the chilly breeze to steady his nerves a little.

As they kept soaring ahead, the group absorbed every alteration; the beasts and vegetation weren't the only things affected.

The eight companions halted abruptly when a massive thud echoed from within a dwelling, a thick metallic tang of blood saturating the atmosphere.

"…" Moments later, they spotted a hideous form gnawing on human remains, with two mangled corpses sprawled next to the altered individual.

One corpse belonged to a male, the other to a female; the trio appeared to form a household, while muffled terrified cries emanated from the building's interior.

Vritra's brow furrowed deeply, as the world truly appeared to be spiraling into chaos.

The transformed man had morphed into a repulsive beast, and upon catching the subtle noise, it whipped its head toward the structure.

It dashed madly into the home as the youths concealed within wailed in terror.

Yet prior to the creature reaching them, its skull burst apart in a spray.

Vritra scanned the area below, realizing they hovered above a settlement where similar horrors unfolded everywhere.

"Husband, this…" Teresa's eyes bulged at the barbaric and savage display.

Once driven insane and morphed into fiends, these folks were slaughtering and consuming their very kin.

They resembled undead hordes, yet far more hideous, formidable, and lethal.

Teresa, the gentlest and most pitiable soul alive, experienced a sharp pang in her chest from this horror. She yearned to aid them, yet combating such altered humans and creatures across the lands wouldn't prove simple.

"Let's press on; we must gather more intel before acting." Vritra declared, his face etched with severity.

For the moment, though, he employed dust control to eliminate every twisted human, though this approach clearly lacked efficiency.

Additional people might still warp, and the aberrant animals could storm the community.

The inhabitants were already struggling amid the frost, and now this nightmare compounded it.

During their return journey, Vritra alongside his spouses dispatched numerous warped beings, uncertain if restoration was possible for them.

Safeguarding the vulnerable mattered greatly at this juncture; even if they held little regard for strangers, witnessing countless blameless souls ripped to shreds compelled them to intervene.

Shortly thereafter, they reached the House of Darkness, each one bewildered and appalled.

"Hubby, could you inquire with Divine about everything?" Yasmine requested, aware now that Divine was her sibling, yet lacking her former recollections left her indifferent to him.

"I’ll give it a shot." Vritra agreed with a nod, perceiving that across the entire world, identical upheavals raged in every corner.

'Divine?' he mentally summoned, only to meet silence, which irritated and enraged him.

Following several more attempts, Vritra merely shook his head in resignation.

"We can uncover the reasons and details afterward; priority is halting those abominations first." Diana stated, gripped by helplessness and refusing to remain idle.

"These odd transformations appear linked to those spores, so we must prevent them from touching any life form initially." Vanessa reflected aloud.

"Teresa, didn’t you labor on something similar?" Fiona turned to Teresa with a query.

"Indeed, but it remains unfinished." Teresa confirmed, her expression tinged with sorrow.

"Husband, beneath Golden Moon’s foundation lies a mechanism that can induce temporary slumber in everyone, provided sufficient power fuels it." Yennefer interjected then.

Having once belonged to Golden Moon, she possessed extensive knowledge of its secrets.

"Yes, even a brief postponement would grant us preparation time." Fiona affirmed with a nod.

"Alright, we head there immediately. Yenni, accompany me. Tess, how much time to ready the shielding field?" Vritra asked gravely.

He suspected the Divine Kage, the sole remaining dominant faction, wouldn't assist outsiders.

"A minimum of one day, and it demands certain conditions to activate." Teresa answered thoughtfully.

"Will that gadget induce sleep for a full day?" Vritra probed, earning a nod from Yennefer.

"Fine, we’re off then." Vritra clasped Yennefer’s hand, the gesture far from its prior warmth.

"We’ll secure the vicinity for the time being; oh, and why not deploy all our sentries? We command over four thousand lord-tier knights." Fiona proposed.

"Good idea, handle it; but with uncertainty over curing these afflicted, aim to subdue them without killing for now." Vritra directed before pivoting away, entrusting the household and forces to Yasmine, Vanessa, Diana, and Fiona.

"Honey, stay safe." Vanessa urged from afar, her concern overriding awareness of his prowess, as the madness overwhelmed her.

"I’ll manage, Mom." Vritra assured his wives with a nod before vanishing.

Teresa dove into her tasks at once, as did the rest.

…

Vritra and Yennefer materialized near Golden Moon’s central stronghold, but with all six leaders slain, turmoil gripped the site.

Plenty of affiliates remained who skipped the wedding; Vritra ignored them, trailing Yennefer instead.

Through the Lost skill, no one could detect his presence, even if he brushed past.

The apparatus’s spot was cleverly concealed; before long, they accessed a chamber housing a metal effigy.

Yennefer drifted ahead swiftly, guiding Vritra on its activation.

"Husband, begin by raising its arm exactly eleven centimeters, then angle it at thirty degrees. The access is concealed there."

Moments later, the featureless figure loomed before Vritra, arms extended skyward.

Simultaneously, across countless sites, the earth quaked and split as towering spires erupted upward.

This elaborate setup astonished Vritra; Golden Moon wielded immense influence indeed.

In mere minutes, thousands of lofty spires topped with upside-down caps emerged, vaguely resembling amplified signal masts.

Vritra then inquired: "What’s next?"

"Next, channel mana into the figure via its palm. Yet even energy from a dozen lords might fall short for full operation; do you possess any relic-"

Yennefer’s words cut off as Vritra pressed his hands to the statue’s, unleashing a torrent of power.

"Hold on, husband, this risks overload; you shouldn’t-" Alarm flashed across Yennefer’s features as she reached to halt him, then froze.

An immense surge of mana poured into the idol, leaving her awestruck. She remained unaware of his recent enhancement.

Every spire hummed in unison, emitting a piercing tone.

Lords remained untouched, but ordinary humans, creatures, and even sentient flora collapsed into unconsciousness.

Vritra sustained the link for several minutes, his reserves ample. He released only upon completion.

"You alright?" Yennefer approached Vritra, the crisis averted allowing her to gaze at him with yearning.

"I’m good." Vritra offered a soft smile, exhaling in relief.
