Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran sent out six probes, each with a subspace box attached to it, and the probes' destinations were the six locations she had marked.

When An Ran arrived near the Allied forces, they were locked in a fierce battle with the monster.

Neither side acted rashly, but instead kept sending cannon fodder to probe until a large-scale jamming signal suddenly hit the allied camp, and the already delayed communications were completely cut off.

For a moment, it seemed as if every warship had become an isolated island, and the warships at the rear did not even dare to fire their cannons, for fear of hitting friendly forces.

This is no longer an era where you can get away with just wearing enemy clothes. If the friendly troops blocking your way are gone, they will die with you.

"It's time to show humanity what we're made of!"

"I'm going to kill them all!"

"This starry sky should be ruled by us."

Swarms of insects and demons charged arrogantly, grinning and brandishing their claws. Last time, they used this tactic to inflict heavy damage on the allied forces.

But this time the situation is different.

"They've fallen into a trap!"

"receive."

Open your arms wide, it's time for you to experience the truth of warships and cannons!

The truth says that you must die, and you must die!

The ethereal domain instantly enveloped the allied fleet completely.

With a series of beeps, communication between all the spaceships was restored.

"Fire!"

Boom boom boom—

The counterattack from humanity has begun!

Swarms of Zerg and Demons crashed into the warship's cannon fire; their smiles hadn't even faded before their bodies were blasted to pieces.

The third battle for the Sky Mirror has officially begun.

……

Meanwhile, somewhere in deep space, the enormous humanoid ancient god Suleien suddenly closed his eyes and began to whisper.

Obscure and incomprehensible notes kept escaping from his mouth, forming a jarring song.

As they drifted further and further away, the eyes of the believers who were fighting against the imperial army turned red.

As he floated along, the Star Alliance Grandmaster Polua, who had been resting with his eyes closed in a tightly sealed room, stood up as his eyes swelled.

As he floated along, Alex, who was awaiting trial in the detention center, began to tremble.

As she floated along, the panda frowned; she sensed a familiar rhythm.

That seems to have some similarities to when she created the prototype of the Holy Church.

Chapter 24 is about the panda teachings.

Boom!

dong dong dong...

Suddenly, rhythmic knocking sounds rang out in the monitoring room, and the guards standing in front of the monitors immediately gathered around them.

"It came from the room where Alex was being held."

"Zoom in."

After zooming in on the screen and repositioning the view, they found Alex leaning against the door, rhythmically pounding on it with his right hand.

The gate was made of a special alloy, and even with Alex's master-level strength, he couldn't escape easily. Therefore, the guards weren't worried about him escaping; they were just afraid he would commit suicide before the trial.

"Let the mechanical puppet go and take a look."

The guards quickly reached a consensus.

But the moment they opened the door, a black shadow suddenly darted in from outside.

"yes!"

The walls were instantly splattered with blood, and the guards turned into cold corpses before they could even relay what had happened.

The black figure smashed all the equipment in the monitoring room before slowly walking out.

Its next destination was the place where Alex was being held.

……

On a peaceful street on the planet Sark, a man with a sorrowful face suddenly stopped walking, his body inexplicably trembling.

A passerby asked in confusion, "Are you alright?"

The man did not answer. He lowered his head slightly, and where others could not see, his pupils contracted and expanded rapidly, eventually condensing into a viscous black mass, like ink.

A passerby patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, should I call the guards over..."

The enthusiastic passersby were completely unprepared for the man's sudden attack.

He could only stare in disbelief at the arm that had pierced through his body.

A large amount of fresh blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

How is that possible? An ordinary person's arm can pierce through their ribs.

"Ahhh-"

A piercing scream suddenly rang out in the street.

When the players' guards on the roadside arrived, the strange man still managed to injure a second innocent passerby.

"Hey, something's not right. How did these pedestrians suddenly become corrupted?"

"I have a feeling something terrible is about to happen."

The players gathered around were puzzled as they looked at the corpse lying on the ground.

Given the current game's context, it's hard for them not to make some connections.

As they suspected, the "corruption" of passersby was not an isolated case; hundreds of similar cases appeared on Planet Sark in a short period of time.

Moreover, "corruption" is like a contagious virus, spreading from one person to two.

Just when they had managed to resolve the issue of the "degeneration" of ordinary people, an even more serious problem immediately emerged.

Alex and Poluya, who were imprisoned, escaped from the prison, turning the entire prison into a hotbed of corruption.

"Oh no! Your Majesty, we must find somewhere to hide!"

Orina, who was reading a book, looked in surprise at the little maid who rushed in, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

In the past, such a reckless maid would have been dragged out and beaten by the head maid.

But the current conditions are harsh, and there are no more than ten maids in the entire temporary palace, let alone a head maid.

Moreover, Orina herself didn't dislike the lively little maid.

She closed the book, sat up straight, and asked, "What happened this time?"

“Count Alex has rebelled! He’s teamed up with that guy from the Covenant who was captured, and they’re leading the prisoners toward the palace,” the maid explained breathlessly. “Your Majesty, let’s find somewhere to hide quickly and wait until Lady Ella has them under control before we step in.”

"What did you say?"

Orina couldn't sit still any longer.

She originally thought that Alex was already being aggressive enough by trying to recruit people everywhere to target An Ran.

Who would have thought that he would dare to rebel even after being imprisoned?

This isn't just a matter of whether their brain circuits are normal or not; it's that they have no brain at all.

“It’s absolutely true, Your Majesty. I heard it from those foreigners, and they are on their way to intercept them.”

What the heck?

As she spoke, Orina wanted to go out and see for herself what was actually happening.

"Your Majesty, with Lady Ella here, we should..."

"You can stay here for now."

"But……"

"I am safer because Ella is here. Hiding would have been more dangerous."

"Yes, Your Majesty has indeed given this matter considerable thought."

Different people are born under the same sky.

Some people are positive and optimistic, able to face tomorrow with a smile even when they encounter difficulties, and can even face death with a smile, while others will sink completely into the abyss and eventually be swallowed up in the abyss.

It's not a virus or anything like that.

While Ella held off Alex and Polua alone, Wanji, who was constantly monitoring the "corrupted" ordinary people, finally noticed something amiss.

Everyone who is infected has a "Depressed" debuff.

This is a psychological attack!

It's called degeneration, but in reality, it's being controlled by something strange.

Anyone experiencing a low mood is potentially affected.

Wow, isn't that a huge problem? Even when the country is in a state of depression, many people are already depressed, let alone in this situation.

The situation is critical.

Ella easily deflected Alex and Poluya's attacks, but similar things happened on other planets.

Countless people have fallen into a state of "degeneration".

However, there was no powerful force controlling the area like the one in the Time-Space Dimension.

Those who have "fallen" experience a surge in strength in a short period of time, achieved by excessively consuming their own physical strength.

By depleting their own physical functions, they achieve the destruction of the world around them.
