Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 607 Darkness

[Stealer of Fate Activated!]

Abruptly, a notification flashed in front of Vritra as he triggered the title gained from his union with Teresa.

In an instant, his awareness dove deep into a chaotic web of radiant strands, every one tied directly to her.

Threads also linked Teresa back to him, representing the paths of her destiny and the woes that plagued her.

Teresa felt an odd disturbance, yet with Vritra's mouth locked onto hers, she found herself speechless.

She couldn't grasp precisely what Vritra was up to.

'Haa, her existence is riddled with so many unfortunate events.' Vritra easily discerned the essence of each strand.

Thanks to his elevated mental power, he merely experienced a brief haze while all details etched into his thoughts.

Wasting no moment, he started snatching every bit of her ill fortune, from what she'd inherited at birth to anything pilfered earlier.

In short order, numerous strands severed from Teresa and latched onto Vritra's form.

Recognizing this all-too-known sensation, Teresa's gaze expanded in shock; now she realized exactly what Vritra was attempting.

Yet how could he possibly seize her destiny?

No, more urgently, she needed to halt him.

Her palms swiftly reached for his shoulders, attempting to sever the bond, but Vritra remained unmoved.

Tears brimmed in her eyes; she refused to burden her spouse with all her agony, her torments, her curses.

Abruptly, a chilling wave coursed through her frame, causing it to slacken briefly.

Teresa nearly blacked out, but the warmth of his kiss lingered, prompting her to shut her lids.

Vritra held on until he'd extracted every strand of doom-laden destiny.

Naturally, not every one could be fully purged; certain innate ones lingered stubbornly.

At last, their mouths parted, severing the link.

[You have stolen the fate of Stealer of Fate!]

A alert sparked in Vritra's thoughts as vertigo struck; he averted his head and sealed his eyes.

Moments later, Teresa's awareness sharpened, and the ache in her frame faded swiftly.

The bizarre affliction she'd contracted vanished entirely, leaving just a lingering frailty.

Her vision swam hazily, so she fluttered her lashes several times.

But then, a vibrant spectrum burst into view. Teresa blinked in bewilderment.

How had her sight returned?

Her gaze shifted to Vritra, flooding her chest with grief.

"H- Husband…" she whispered faintly, striving to rise yet too feeble.

Full recovery would demand time, but aside from this passing debility, her body held no flaws.

Both the illness and the sightlessness had evaporated.

"Husband," she uttered once more, tugging his limb until Vritra faced her.

Faint mottled marks dotted his features and limbs, though he concealed them fast to spare Teresa the sight.

It would only deepen her distress.

His crimson eyes had lost their vibrant sheen, plunging his surroundings into shadow.

Without his other perceptions, sight eluded him completely.

"I am fine." He stroked her brow, his gaze fixed on her position despite the blindness.

This mirrored her lifelong reality. Though total darkness gripped her youth, growth in power later allowed sensory navigation.

"H- How did you- No, why did you… why did you do that?" Teresa's tone cracked with emotion, her soul in torment.

She'd spare even outsiders from such doom, often claiming their burdens herself.

Thus, witnessing her woes transfer to the man she cherished above all shattered her.

"Yeah, it's selfish on my part, but watching you in pain is unbearable. I get how this hits you, yet fret not." Vritra offered a comforting grin before adding:

"Not only can I pilfer destinies, but I can transfer them too, so I'll just dump this on another. I can manage it."

His assurance eased Teresa somewhat. For Vritra's sake, she'd strike down foes without pause.

Vritra kept murmuring calming phrases until Teresa fully unwound, her faith in him absolute.

If he claimed it possible, she believed without doubt.

"…" Once settled, Teresa at last perceived her restored vision.

She gazed upon Vritra's visage, sharper than ever before.

"Husband, you look so good… you are so good to me." She murmured softly, clutching his arm.

Vritra grinned, then bent close for a gentle peck.

After a brief chat, Vritra departed to let her recuperate as Teresa drew in the core's essence.

Once the door clicked shut behind him, Vritra's demeanor shifted.

As a demi-god, the malady impacted him less severely than it had Teresa, though dizziness persisted.

"Are you okay? Did you really have to injure yourself for her?" Yennefer's anxious tone echoed in his head just then.

She longed to be free to restrain her impulsive partner from such acts.

"Yeah, I am fine, and yes, this was essential. With her as mine now, I'd exhaust every means to shield her, much like I'd keep threats from you." He declared resolutely.

"Sigh…" Yennefer exhaled deeply, fully aware of his devotion to his spouses.

That's precisely what had alarmed her before.

Vritra muted his senses, enveloping everything in pitch black; true blindness gripped him.

"Well, it's a fresh kind of adventure." He laughed lightly, stepping ahead only to collide with a barrier.

Yennefer merely shook her head and inquired: "Do you truly possess a method to offload this destiny onto another? If yes, then rush and… just shove it onto that prisoner, your former classmate."

"Of course I don't; had I not fibbed, would Teresa have settled? Her kindness dooms her." Vritra replied as his perceptions reactivated, revealing the area around him.

"What-?! Husband, you're far too daring; only you among us can weather abrupt calamities—if you sicken, aren't we all exposed?

And stealing Jack's heroic destiny?" Yennefer vented in frustration.

"Hmm, well, I'll devise a fix somehow. How could I waver with her life at stake? For Jack, perhaps Tess can claim his fate." Vritra muttered uncertainly, though what if she grabbed his misfortunes too?

Thus, reluctance held him back.

"Wait, wait—didn't you say Teresa had taken a maid's fate, dooming her to childlessness later?

You didn't snatch that too, right?" Yennefer probed with growing dread; like Yasmine and the rest, she yearned for offspring with him.

"Uh… I think I did; haa, we'll sort it out, don't fret." Vritra admitted with resignation.

"You did?!! I'm alerting Yasmine and the others immediately!" Yennefer declared, reaching out to his other partners.

Before long, the full tale reached them all.
