Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 551 Drino

"Husband…" Teresa's voice drifted toward him, as melodic and captivating as it had always been.

"Hmm," Vritra replied with a soft hum.

"Is it possible for us to travel somewhere together?" she inquired.

Teresa was well aware that her current circumstances usually confined her to a single room. While her life had become infinitely more vibrant and joyful since Vritra entered it, she still yearned to experience the wonders of the world. However, she only wished to do so by his side. She knew all too well that the world contained not just beauty, but also depths of filth and disgust.

"Of course. We are going to visit many places together," Vritra assured her. "With me by your side, you will never be trapped in a room again." He then added, "In fact, we’ll be departing for somewhere very soon."

"Oh, thank you, husband!" Teresa exclaimed, leaning against him with a happy smile.

The vehicle traveled in silence for a time until Vritra broke the quiet with a question.

"You watched me go through those battles—slaughtering the fishmen and even striking out at your own kin—yet you never uttered a word of protest. Why is that? I thought you despised violence?"

"I do hate it," Teresa admitted. Having removed her veil now that they were alone in the back, she looked at him. The driver was unable to see them from the front. "But you are always right."

They spent the remainder of the journey in conversation, gradually deepening their understanding of one another. Before long, their transport crossed into the Yate realm.

A magnificent reception awaited their return. The entire realm had been decorated for the occasion, and thousands of spectators gathered to catch a glimpse of the pair. Teresa had already replaced her veil before they stepped out of the vehicle.

Vanessa, Diana, Fiona, and Maeve followed them. Although Gunter was uncertain of the exact nature of their relationship with his son, he was more than pleased to host them as honored guests.

As he escorted Teresa toward the palace, Vritra reached out with his mind.

'Wifey, where are you?'

"I’ll arrive in just a few minutes," her reply echoed back instantly.

'Good.' After a brief pause, a thought occurred to him. 'Now that it comes to mind, what is the name of this planet? I don't believe I've heard it mentioned.'

"You haven't? I’m certain I told you before," she responded. "It is known as the Zoratian planet."

'Anyway, make sure to hurry back. I’ll be heading to the Star realm shortly,' Vritra communicated while continuing his walk with Teresa.

In a distant corner of the universe, buried within an infinite expanse of darkness, two eyes burned with a lethal, radiant intensity. They belonged to a shifting, blurry mass of pure energy.

A throne stood before these eyes, though it remained unoccupied. Kneeling before the gaze was a massive, orange-skinned figure of immense bulk. This twelve-foot-tall, semi-humanoid creature resembled a dinosaur, possessing elongated arms and stunted legs.

"Have either of the two been located?" a booming voice demanded, causing the creature to shudder.

The dinosaur-faced entity, Drino, was a powerful being at the demi god level, yet he was nothing compared to the true god he currently faced. There was a staggering gap in their respective strengths.

Drino was among the most elite warriors of his home world and was slated to compete in the upcoming world games, as his planet had already successfully navigated its trial.

"Yes, I have tracked down one of his sisters," Drino reported, not daring to meet the god's eyes. "I will ensure her death this time."

He was eager to serve a god, hoping for even a shred of divine assistance during the games.

"No, do not kill her. Bring her to me," the heavy voice commanded. "I may find a use for her powers myself."

This deity was one of the demon gods from Vritra’s original world. To interfere directly with a planet would result in severe divine retribution. However, by acting through a proxy like this, he could bypass the harshest consequences, even if it were technically forbidden.

The god calculated that no demi god should exist on that planet yet; it was impossible for one to arise so quickly. This would make Drino’s mission simple, even if Drino himself faced some punishment for the intrusion. Gaining a god's favor was worth any such price.

"Depart at once. Time is short. That divine being likely left protections for his sisters. If you fail…"

The god left the threat unfinished and vanished. The void dissolved, and Drino found himself back in his own hall, standing before his throne.

"How could I possibly fail? It is a simple task to retrieve one weak woman. Even my subordinates could handle something so trivial."

Despite his boast, Drino intended to handle the matter personally. Even though the planet's restrictions would suppress his power, a demi god remained a demi god. No number of mere lords could hope to stop him.

After issuing his commands, Drino took flight, leaving his world behind as he accelerated toward the Zoratian planet.

"Art, let us know if there is anything you require," Ava said. "We've moved your belongings to a larger suite. Now that Teresa is staying with you, you'll need the extra space."

"Take good care of her, son," Gunter added. "And while we're on the subject, why not take your place as the monarch of the Yate family? I am certain you are ready for the role."

Gunter believed Art surpassed him in both raw power and strategic mind. Though the parents still feared covert attacks against Teresa, they had bolstered the palace security to its absolute limit.

"No, you're doing a fine job as it is," Vritra declined. "I cannot take on that burden yet. I still have much to accomplish."

"I understand," Gunter replied. "In that case, simply enjoy your life for the time being. You can take the mantle when you feel the time is right."

They stood a short distance away from the young couple. Many members of the Yate family were gathered, with the younger men casting envious looks at Vritra. Initially, those who harbored grudges against him were gleeful, thinking this marriage would be his downfall. Instead, he had wed the most stunning woman alive—a sorceress of peerless talent.

"Uhm, h-hello, I am Art's cousin—" Ray stammered as he stepped forward, trying to introduce himself. He was starstruck to be in the presence of the Stealer of Fate.

"What?" Teresa cut him off. Her voice was icy, causing Ray to recoil instantly and retreat into the safety of the crowd.

"N-nothing, haha..." he laughed nervously, backing away.

'Oh?' Vritra was surprised. He hadn't expected her to use such a sharp tone. Then he remembered she wasn't some naive girl; she had lived ten times longer than he had. She only showed her gentle side to him. It was clear she held a low opinion of most of the Yate clan.

Ava assisted the couple through several traditional rituals meant to ensure a long and prosperous union. Eventually, the family members dispersed, all of them wondering just how breathtaking Teresa's face was beneath that veil.

During the ceremonies, Vritra could feel the intense stares of his other wives. He knew exactly what they were thinking. He resolved that before the great game or trial commenced, he would provide each of them with a proper wedding.

Teresa retired to her new chambers and began organizing her belongings while waiting for her husband. Meanwhile, Vritra went to check on Diana and the others. Fiona appeared the most dejected of the group. Despite the visions they had shared, they all longed for their own wedding day and more time to spend by his side.
