Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Two against seven, the key is that four of them are at a higher level than me."

Anran decided to wait and see.

Aileshi's face turned cold.

These non-human creatures have more to think about than she could possibly imagine.

Is this the effect you wanted to achieve?

Eresh said in a deep voice, "Do you still believe Ronald's words? You should know that he is the one who wants to kill you. He is your enemy!"

The ancient god Suleien grinned: "To us, you are also an enemy. Do you really think there is any friendship between us?"

"..."

Eresh was stunned.

"This is retribution for a traitor!" Philomena shouted from behind An Ran. "The Grand Commander has never wronged you in any way, yet you did this. You deserve to be betrayed now!"

"Haha, hahaha..."

Eresh burst into laughter, her face contorted with rage.

"It's amazing how quickly you guys were able to draw the boundary."

The ancient god Sulaim looked at her with a playful gaze, while Eresh's face gradually turned cold: "But unfortunately, the place you are in this time is a gap between worlds, and I brought you in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind swept through the calm world.

Anran watched Aileixi's performance quietly. It was as if Aileixi had multiple personalities; every word she uttered changed her demeanor.

"You can only stay if I want you to stay here!"

Suddenly, a whirlwind enveloped all the monsters around, and in the blink of an eye, those monsters were teleported away to who-knows-where.

The vast gap in the world is now only occupied by the Royal Knights, Anran, the Void Panda, and Ereshkigal.

“Now you’re the only opponent left,” Ronald said calmly.

Is that really the case?

Eresh looked at An Ran: "An Ran, now is the perfect opportunity to break free from Ronald's control! As soon as you let go, I'll take you away from here immediately, and they won't be able to catch up!"

An Ran remained silent, and did not remove her hand from the Holy Judgment Sword.

“Hahaha…” Philomena burst into laughter. “How pathetic, even An Ran doesn’t believe you anymore.”

A look of sorrow crossed Ai Leixi's face: "An Ran, even you don't believe me anymore? Are you really willing to become a puppet without self-awareness in Ronald's hands? I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, go ask Ronald. Do you think he dares to deny it? Let go, An Ran, I'll take you away from here right now."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth to shreds!" Philomena shouted angrily.

She is now seriously injured, and even though she is facing only one enemy, Ereshki, she must be vigilant and must not let An Ran go to Ereshki's side.

Eresh had planned this all along; her timing was perfect.

Ronald nodded calmly: "I don't deny that you will become a puppet, but..."

His eyes lit up, and he spread his arms wide, shouting, "Don't you think this is a very meaningful and great thing! Follow me and kill all those monsters that threaten humanity's survival. Under our guidance, the Empire will embark on the path to transcendence! The power of the void, what a wonderful power it is! If you are willing, the whole world will evolve according to our will! At that time, you and I will be the gods of the new world! Rather than being a mediocre pirate, why not choose to do something more meaningful! When we are all moving towards the same goal, is self-awareness really that important!"

Looking at Ronald, who seemed to be enveloped in holy light, An Ran felt a chill run down her spine.

She saw in Ronald a faith even more fervent than that of the Church of Jesus Christ.

Ronald is a seemingly normal man, but whose inner self has been corrupted by his beliefs. He firmly believes that he can lead the empire to the extraordinary and become a god who will create a new world.

That's how it is!

A deep bloodshot color appeared in Irene's eyes, and she seemed to be infected by Ronald, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

There's a story behind it!

Anran decided to provoke Ailey again.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to choose either side. I just want to be myself," An Ran said calmly.

Is this your answer to me?

With red eyes, Eresh stared at Anran.

An Ran continued to nod.

“Very good, hahaha…” Eresh laughed loudly, “What a great way to be yourself! What have you taken all the good I’ve done for you for granted? Hahaha… Fine, after I’ve dealt with Ronald, we can have a proper talk.”

"..."

An Ran pulled the Holy Judgment Sword out a little further.

She suspected that Irene might have gotten too caught up in her acting and lost her mind.

Are you really good to me?

Is it truly from the bottom of your heart?

Ronald's gaze fell on An Ran. He just needed to stall for a little longer. He had been preparing for this moment for more than a decade. How could he back down when the door was about to open?

When Ronald and Irene's eyes met, their figures suddenly vanished, only to reappear in a violent collision.

Boom!

The violent explosion blew Philomena and the others away, leaving only Anran, who was standing next to the Void Panda, unharmed.

While no one was paying attention, she quietly initiated the racial transformation.

The Void Panda looked at An Ran with a puzzled expression. Why did An Ran suddenly seem so friendly?

when!

Its attention was quickly drawn to Ereshkigal and Ronald.

Ronald, who thought he would have the upper hand, suddenly knelt down on one knee, his clothes completely stained red with the blood he spat out of his mouth, while Eresh stood arrogantly in front of him, laughing wildly.

"Hahaha, I've finally waited for this! Hahaha, Ronald, you've finally met your match! Hahahaha..."

The gaps in the world were filled with Eresh's bewitching smile.

She regarded him as an ant that she could crush at any moment, and then Eresh pulled a transparent board out of nothingness.

Splash...

The board shattered, and the shards splashed all over Ronald's face.

"This is an ancient artifact capable of reflecting an attack! Hahaha... What does it feel like to die by your own hand? What does it feel like to end your own ideals with your own hands?"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

The Royal Knights' expressions changed drastically. If even their Grand Commander was no match for Ereshkid, then they...

He turned his gaze to An Ran.

She was the only one I could rely on.

If she can pull out the sword of judgment.

"I will make you experience the same pain I have suffered!"

With a face twisted like a demon, Eresh pulled Philomena towards her with a single hand: "I will execute her bit by bit right in front of you! Don't worry, I won't kill you so easily. I will make you open your eyes wide and watch how the Empire is destroyed by the void vessel you painstakingly created! It was your obsession that destroyed the entire Empire!"

Ronald looked up at Ereshkid.

At that moment, a loud roar suddenly drew everyone's attention.

Anran has already drawn the Sword of Judgment!

"Hmm?" Eresh paused for a moment, but quickly regained her smile. "I didn't expect you to side with Ronald at the last minute. Fine, since that's the case, I have no qualms about destroying you!"

She raised her hand and formed a hand seal, while staring at An Ran with a cruel look in her eyes.

An Ran shook her head: "I said, I only want to stand on my own side."

She raised the Holy Judgment Sword and slashed straight down without a word, the massive blade of light heading straight for Ereshkigal.

"It's no use, I still have a divine artifact!"

Eresh grinned menacingly and held a transparent board across her.

Boom!

The endless explosions engulfed Anran and the Void Panda.

Chapter 10 An Ran's Extremely Wicked Temperament

The massive energy surge created extremely exaggerated visual effects, but it did not cause much of a ripple in the gap between worlds.

Because this place is so special, everything you see is in a light, ethereal energy state.

Even against Ronald in his prime, the sword light unleashed by the Holy Judgment Sword could inflict some damage.

When she saw that An Ran was not holding back at all, Ai Leixi's face became even more gloomy, and at the same time, a sense of smugness rose in her heart, thinking, "You've fallen into a trap."

The moment the transparent board was placed in front of her, Irene suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if everything was finally over.

This force rebounding back will surely cause the still unstable void container to collapse, and collapse is a result she would rather see than death.

Imagine the despair Ronald would feel if he were to send a monster whose mind and power had gone berserk back to the capital star system, and then watch helplessly as the extraordinary leader he had been planning for so many years turned into a disruptor of order!

Thinking of this, Eresh smiled silently.

Destroying a person is far more ruthless if you work on their mind than on their body.

If it weren't for wanting to see Ronald break down, Eresh could have sent him on his way the moment the artifact deflected the attack.

At this moment, Ronald, due to his broken body and loss of energy, was already like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to disappear at any moment.

He could only barely maintain his best pride, and not completely collapse.

Ronald, who believed he could lead the entire empire to greatness, would not be Ronald once he lost his pride.

His only support was An Ran.

Ronald breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Anran pull out the Holy Judgment Sword.

Only he in this world knows just how powerful An Ran really is after she became a void vessel.

"Send her on her way," Ronald mentally commanded Anran.

After that, An Ran walked up.
