Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!

After a burst of laughter, Ethan turned his attention to Clinton, his expression becoming a bit more restrained.

Even though they were all senators of the fortress, Clinton was, after all, an almost-ascended powerhouse about to enter the Upper Plane Universe.

Instinctively, Ethan held some reverence toward him and didn't dare act too casually.

"Since you're here, Senator Clinton, let's all get to know each other!"

Saying this, Ethan walked over to William, eyeing his tattered, vagabond-like outfit and grinning.

"This is Senator William, the Grand Senator of Ducal Manor, and an old friend of mine!"

Hearing this, Clinton looked at William in disbelief.

Ducal Manor was one of the most powerful factions in the galaxy, and their Grand Senator looked this impoverished?

He looked no different from a beggar, almost as ragged as Clinton himself after being sealed for 300 years!

However, Clinton knew Ethan had no reason to lie.@@novelbin@@

And from William's presence alone, Clinton could clearly feel his formidable strength!

Even though William was not as strong as himself, he was still a force to be reckoned with!

"As for Corner, he is a renowned mixologist. Many Awakeners with a taste for fine liquor spend fortunes just to have a single cocktail crafted by him!"

After Ethan's introduction, Clinton nodded in greeting, showing goodwill toward the two.

Although he still couldn't understand why they were dressed in such rags, their strength was undeniable.

William and Corner both awkwardly nodded in response.

At this moment, Ethan turned to Clinton and introduced him to William and Corner.

"This is Clinton—a Soul Master who has survived nine waves of Thunder Tide and is about to enter the Upper Plane Universe as a top-tier powerhouse!"

Hiss!

William and Corner both inhaled sharply.

Although they had already sensed that Clinton was unusual,

They never imagined that this man—who looked like a true vagabond—was actually this powerful!

Surviving nine waves of Thunder Tide meant that his entry into the Upper Plane Universe was practically guaranteed!

Such an individual would stand at the very peak, overlooking the entire Lower Plane Universe.

Even though they were both Ascended Rank Awakeners, compared to Clinton,

They were far from his level!

When had Anastasia managed to recruit such a top-tier powerhouse?!

A being of such immense strength would be famous across the Titan Galaxy—recruiting someone like him should have been near-impossible!

William couldn't fathom how Anastasia had accomplished this.

With Clinton as a senator, along with the other powerful senators gathered here,

The fortress was showing signs of surpassing Ducal Manor!

Yet, the fortress was originally created just to test and temper Anastasia!

How long had it been?

And already, Anastasia had grown it into such a formidable force?!

At this rate, surpassing Ducal Manor would be as simple as breathing!

Thinking this, William suddenly felt a strong urge to stay here!

Meanwhile, beside him, Corner's eyes were also gleaming with excitement.

Although he had yet to meet Velen, the great tycoon,

The fortress had so many powerful figures gathered in one place—this was no ordinary faction!

The thought of staying here had completely taken root in his heart!

With Clinton as the powerhouse protecting the fortress, its safety was unquestionable.

And with Velen—the great tycoon—present,

Why would he go back to working in Chaos City?

Working was impossible!

With Velen here, spending some time in the fortress would definitely turn him into a wealthy man, able to indulge in luxury and excess!

"This fortress is the perfect place for a mixologist like me!"

Corner became more resolute in his decision.

"Master Ethan, what are you doing here?"

William had known Ethan for a long time but had never expected to find him here.

Corner, too, was stunned to see Ethan.

Ethan had always been a free-spirited master forger, never affiliating with any faction.

So why was he here in the fortress? And why did he seem so familiar with everything here?

Being questioned by both of them, Ethan coughed lightly and said:

"Well, you both know I'm a forger, so I joined the fortress a while back… mainly to forge things like bowls and scissors for them!"

Hearing this, Corner and William were utterly shocked.

They both knew Ethan well—he was an ambitious forger with grand aspirations!

"Master Ethan, you must be joking! You were once a madman for forging, utterly obsessed with your craft!"

Corner nodded in agreement.

"Exactly! You once told me you wanted to become the God of Forging, crafting a legendary Level 9 Forge that would be known throughout the galaxy…"

The Ethan standing before them was completely different from the one in their memories.

If not for his unchanged aura, they would have doubted whether he was really Ethan at all!

Under their intense gazes, Ethan sighed and said:

"That was my past wish."

"After meeting Velen, I finally opened my eyes and saw the world properly."

"Now, my only goal is to stay by Velen's side and forge daily necessities for him!"

"Don't argue—even everyday items need to be crafted with absolute precision so that they develop spirituality!"

Hearing Ethan's praise of Velen, William immediately grasped what had happened and asked directly:

"Ethan, we're old friends. Just tell me—how much did Velen give you?"

Ethan waved his hand dismissively.

"Not much—just a Forging Mastery Skill Tome."

"With that skill book, I've taken my first solid step toward becoming the greatest forger in the galaxy."

"From now on, the things I forge will naturally develop spirituality."

William, Corner, and Clinton all stared at Ethan in disbelief.

With their understanding of forging, they knew how difficult it was to craft weapons or tools that developed spirituality.

What kind of god-tier skill book had Velen given him?!

After the initial shock, Corner became extremely excited.

Since Velen had recruited Ethan, a master forger, into the fortress,

Then surely accepting a mixologist like himself wouldn't be a problem!

"Ethan, you joined the fortress first, so that makes you my senior. I'll be counting on your guidance!"

Corner spoke earnestly.

Ethan was momentarily stunned.

"Corner… don't tell me… you want to join the fortress too?!"

"Of course! Why else would I be here?" Corner huffed and nodded.

Seeing this, Ethan grew excited.

"Great! With a master mixologist like you here, we'll never run out of fine drinks!"

Getting a cocktail from Corner used to be incredibly difficult,

But now…

With Velen's countless resources, there was a good chance they'd create legendary drinks never seen before!

For most Awakeners, food was optional—but alcohol was essential!

Hearing their conversation, Clinton swallowed hard.

He had been sealed for 300 years, and he was passionate about food and fine liquor.

Staying in the fortress, living in a Mana Planet-forged floating house, and drinking legendary cocktails…

That was true paradise!

At that moment, Clinton's desire to stay in the fortress became firmer than ever!

Even William's eyes flickered with contemplation.

As Corner's old friend, William knew his drinks weren't just delicious—they also enhanced cultivation!

Thinking about this, even William felt tempted to stay.

Tomorrow morning, he would talk to Anastasia about staying here for a while!

Before long, after some casual chatter, Ethan returned to his own courtyard.

Meanwhile, William and Corner entered Clinton's floating courtyard to rest.

That night, many were too excited to sleep.
