Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Under the relentless pursuit of the Royal Knights, the coordinates of the Holy Church were destroyed one by one. The Royal Knights did not want to kill them, but they could not resist the unwavering faith of the people. When they sensed danger, they immediately used the power of the void to ignite themselves.

The Royal Knights could only watch helplessly as they returned to the Void; they were powerless to stop it, for the power of faith in the Void was a power too special for them to control.

Fortunately, the Royal Knights' operation was not without its gains; they learned how to identify special candidates.

Including Enron, they selected a total of five targets.

Under their guidance, all five targets came into contact with the void, but only An Ran ultimately grew into a coordinate.

Only those who have experienced it truly know how much suffering there has been.

They had already failed once nine years ago, but at that time time was not pressing, and they could continue to wait. If they fail again this time, they will have to take the riskier alternative approach.

Taking the alternative approach means that even if the judgment succeeds, they will have to spend an additional fifty years pursuing their goal.

Fifty years, that's a very long time.

Not everyone is as attached to life as the late emperor, who forcibly extended his life by five hundred years.

They outlived even the former eldest prince.

Yes, the current eldest prince is not actually the old emperor's eldest son.

"Quickly, contact the President immediately!"

"Okay, leave it to me."

One of the Templar Knights walked away to a distance, while the other two remained in place, staring at An Ran.

The seed has been sown; now we cannot let An Ran out of sight.

“Relax, I’m not planning to run,” An Ran said.

"Ha ha……"

The two people responded with two cold, indifferent faces.

"I really didn't mean to run away, why don't you believe me?" An Ran shook her head helplessly.

How could she leave now? The quest "Shame of the Temple" wasn't even finished yet.

An Ran's right thumb was slightly raised.

After the Templar Knight turned around, he flicked his thumb outwards.

woohoo-

An unusual wind suddenly swept through the once peaceful underground prison.

The reason this wind is considered unusual is that the underground prison is built underground, and it is impossible for wind to rise under normal circumstances.

If there is wind, it is the prelude to death!

Anran, who was facing the three Templar Knights, was still smiling, but at this moment she lowered her head slightly and her upper eyelids drooped.

"Even though this was my own choice, I'm still very unhappy about it."

What do you mean?

The three Templar Knights looked at An Ran with suspicion.

"It's time to collect some interest from you on behalf of Death!"

Boom!

An explosion suddenly occurred beneath the Templar Knight's feet.

The battle horn has sounded.

An Ran's flick of his thumb not only brought forth the wind, a symbol of death, but also the Grim Reaper's scythe used to collect people—the psionic weapon matrix.

The rising psionic colossus, surrounded by psionic lasers, launched a merciless attack upon receiving Anran's command.

"You're all surrounded. Enjoy this deadly game! Hahaha..."

An Ran's voice poured into the Templar Knights' ears from all directions, making it impossible for them to figure out her exact location.

When the three Templar Knights activated their domains to try and locate An Ran, they were completely dumbfounded.

nobody.

There's no one to be found.

Their domain was large enough to cover the entire planet, yet they still couldn't find peace.

"Is she crazy? Has she gone mad?"

"A single shot blocked the psionic laser attack," a Templar Knight shouted angrily.

How could someone do something like this if they weren't insane?

"You bitch! Come out and face your death!"

"Hahaha... Do you really dare to kill me?" An Ran's voice rang out again.

The leading Templar Knight gritted his teeth and said, "Stop! Aren't you afraid we'll blow the entire Baplo to pieces?"

Why be afraid?

"You bitch, don't let me catch you!"

"You should think about whether you can survive first, hahaha..."

An Ran's laughter never stopped, its sarcasm reaching its peak, making it difficult for the three Templar Knights to calm down.

"You think you can kill us, a mere master-level mechanic, even with a psionic colossus?"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Let's give it a try!

Try it and you'll die.

An Ran no longer intends to hide her strength.

The chips are already in hand; why bother concealing them? No need.

Moreover, her own "little" strength is merely the tip of the iceberg in her scheme.

In the early hours of March 28, the planet Sidna was struck by its greatest catastrophe in two hundred years.

Violent tectonic activity caused volcanic eruptions in multiple locations, a massive earthquake swallowed up an empty triangular tower, and surging waves submerged cities...

As dawn breaks, the dust floating in the sky makes basking in the sunlight a luxury.

Ronald, the Grand Commander of the Royal Knights, dressed in his everyday clothes, quietly arrived at this place.

He stood quietly behind the clouds for ten minutes, but the deaths of the three Templars made him unable to sit still any longer.

As he watched the volcanic ash drift away with the wind, Ronald dashed straight into the Earth's core prison.

He planned to investigate the situation and, incidentally, capture An Ran, who had escaped, as soon as possible.

but……

The moment he landed, even Ronald, who was as calm as an old monk, couldn't remain calm. On the ruins of the collapsed room, a girl in a long dress was holding up a piece of glass to the light.

She half-closed her eyes, her body relaxed, and her skirt draped naturally over the slope.

The girl in the ruins looked as if she had stepped out of a painting; her serene beauty was enough to touch 99 percent of people.

Including Ronald.

Of course, for Ronald, this had nothing to do with being amazing.

He stopped caring about such things a long time ago.

This is only related to surprise.

Why is An Ran here?

Are you wondering why I didn't leave?

An Ran casually put the glass away; that was the artifact transformation portal. Since Ronald didn't have the ability to seal off hyperspace, there was no need to use the transformation portal.

He looked directly into Ronald's eyes without showing the slightest fear.

Ronald paused for a few seconds before speaking: "You're very smart."

“It seems you don’t hold it against me for killing them,” An Ran said.

"What's the point of arguing? You're already certain I won't kill you."

"Let's go now."

Ronald did not move.

His eyes held a look of inquiry.

"Alright, alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you."

Anran directly took out the psionic colossus and the psionic laser emitter.

"that's it?"

"And this too."

brush--

Ronald reached out and caught the several subspace boxes that An Ran threw to him.

What's inside?

Detonate!

With her grayish-white health bar fully restored, An Ran calmly watched the black cave that suddenly appeared in the space.

This strange phenomenon lasted for several tens of seconds before calming down, while Ronald, who was at the center of the explosion, was completely unharmed, with not even a speck of dust sticking to his clothes.

“Let’s go,” Ronald said.

"..."

An Ran's smile vanished completely.

This guy... truly lives up to his title as the Grand Master of the Royal Knights.

Even with ten more bars of grayish-white health, An Ran was certain she was no match for him.
