Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran didn't rush over immediately; she was very cautious.

After all, there are too many people in this world who are stronger than her. If she is not careful, even with extremely high luck, she could easily perish without the protection of the main quest.

An Ran only breathed a slight sigh of relief after she learned through the guardian's eyes that the visiting guest was level 181.

At this level, even if she couldn't win, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

Yatara.

The guardian, resembling a heavily armored dragonman carrying two guns, broke through the thick atmosphere and descended towards the icy plain beneath its feet.

Standing before the guardian was a flying machine that looked like a mushroom cloud.

The lower part of the rhizome is actually a waterfall of spraying blue energy.

The moment the Guardian appeared, an energy shield suddenly lit up on the spaceship, but it quickly dissipated.

It's obvious that someone shut it down.

"Don't you want to appear too vulnerable in front of me?"

However, he still showed his fear first.

An Ran waved her hand and issued the order: Land!

The guardian landed calmly.

Its heavy tail plunged into the ice field, and because it didn't control its force well, crack! The ice field, which had been frozen for thousands of years, was shattered.

Just as the guardian was about to fall directly into the icy lake below, the temperature under the guardian's feet dropped sharply, managing to keep the ice beneath them from breaking.

The guardian suddenly transformed into a statue standing on a deserted island.

"What an idiot!"

An Ran cursed the Guardian under her breath for being so reckless, but still smiled and walked through the space to stand on the Guardian's shoulder.

The guardian felt wronged; it didn't want to be this heavy, but there was nothing it could do about it. The guardian still obediently followed Anran's orders.

The lights shone on them.

On the other shoulder of the guardian, the panda and Ella suddenly appeared as well.

A thousand-year-old "demon" with the body of a loli and a loli who is 8 years old but looks like she is 11 years old stand side by side.

This combination attracted the attention of most people on the spaceship.

"Only three people came."

Edgar, the vice-captain of the underwater mercenary group, had a slight change in expression.

What confidence!

His gaze shifted from the panda and Ella, finally settling on Anran, who looked like the older sister of the two children (he was certain).

It seems this is the person controlling the Guardians behind the scenes, because Edgar noticed that the Guardians' eyes moved slightly, and their gaze was directed at the spot where An Ran was standing.

"What an extraordinary demeanor!"

Edgar remarked with emotion.

He saw the Guardian's tail rise up, transforming into a long road that passed in front of Anran, the panda, and Ella.

An Ran braved the wind and frost and embarked on that road, followed by Panda and Ella on either side of her.

They walked expressionlessly along the avenue formed from the tails of the guardians.

This road leads all the way to the entrance of the underwater mercenary group's spaceship.

In front of the spaceship's thick outer wall, An Ran's hands, gloved in black, were naturally tucked into the pockets of her combat suit. The howling wind whipped her long, flaxen hair, the soft strands dancing in the wind, with a few streaks of silver mixed in.

Both Ella and the panda have a cool and aloof look.

The clothes they were wearing were miniature versions of An Ran's combat uniform.

With black and space gray as the main colors, he wears a pair of brass glasses on his forehead, which have a very alchemical prop style.

This was originally intended for the panda, since Ella didn't need it, but for the sake of symmetry, Anran also gave it to Ella.

click -

The solid, seamless wall opened up to the top and bottom.

What appeared before Anran was a group of demi-humans with short, triangular ears.

This was the first meeting of the Attala Summit.

Edgar's gaze remained fixed on An Ran for almost the entire time.

He had thought that An Ran, whom he saw from a distance, was already quite dignified, but when he got closer, he was amazed.

The wind and frost flew past Anran's ears.

The girl pressed down the flaxen hair that was flying around her ears with her hand.

The snow-white earrings swayed in the wind, their tinkling sound reaching Edgar's ears.

"Edgar, the vice-captain of the Undersea Mercenary Group."

Edgar reached out his hand.

The hand that popped out from under the sleeve looked like an elongated cat's paw.

They are cat-eared aliens.

"Acting Governor of the Panda Cult, Anran."

Anran extended her hand and shook hands with Edgar.

Edgar had originally planned to hold the talks on the ice plains of Atara, but Anran, along with her two little "followers," casually walked into the spaceship.

Edgar's expression changed.

Is this confidence in one's own abilities, or blind arrogance?

The chip implanted in his right arm suddenly heated up, and Edgar received a message from the energy level detector near the spaceship's door.

An Ran's strength is undoubtedly at the level of a Star Killer, but the energy level detector cannot read a precise value.

And the two little followers behind her were also Star Slayers.

Especially that demi-human loli with black round ears, the energy level detector showed that her level had reached level 176.

It is of a higher level than Noko, who died at the hands of the Guardians.

Edgar was startled.

When I looked up, I was met with An Ran's smile.

“Mechanical creations are not always reliable.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Edgar discovered that the chip implanted in his hand had started transmitting data to him like crazy, and the massive amount of data was coming from the energy level detector.

Anran's displayed values ​​far exceed those of Star Killer.

The level of those two lackeys also jumped to over 190.

ka ka ka-

At the same time, the spaceship's open door closed, the lights in the cabin flashed, and even the spaceship's AI began to make voice announcements.

"Welcome to the planet Atara, where you'll find the coldest ice fields and the ultimate in luxury."

"welcome……"

They easily breached the spaceship's AI system; this is the ability of a top-notch mechanic.

Edgar calmed himself down.

He saw An Ran bow slightly: "Please don't take my rudeness too seriously. I just wanted to prove that the Guardian outside is indeed mine, and I am fully qualified to represent the Panda Cult to negotiate with you."

Edgar gave a formulaic smile: "I understand."

If a fight breaks out before negotiations even begin, the Protossians will probably laugh themselves to death.

Edgar already regarded this mysterious Panda Cult as a force on par with, or perhaps even more powerful than, the pirate mercenary group.

After all, An Ran was only the acting governor of the Panda Cult.

Edgar didn't think Anran was lying, because he was only the vice-leader, and it was unlikely that the Panda Cult would send its leader directly.

"This is the Holy Master of the Panda Cult."

An Ran suddenly pointed at the panda, and to Edgar's astonishment, then pointed at Ella.

"This is the next pope of the Mechanicus."

"Ok?"

Edgar was even more confused.

How come another mechanical church suddenly appeared?

He originally thought An Ran was the person in charge of this negotiation, but now it seems that although he was right, the two little guys following behind him seem to be the ones with a higher status.

If that's the case, then the Panda Cult and the Mechanicus are truly unfathomable.

Edgar shuddered.

A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind!

This suddenly emerging force is very likely sent by a ruler of a certain star field.

On the surface, it appears to be targeting the Protoss, but in reality... it really is targeting the Protoss.

Edgar nodded to himself.

Recently, Bridges went to the Silent Land because of that prophecy, and not long after he left, the CCQ pirate crew appeared.

The intention is all too obvious.

It was all to restrain Bridges and prevent him from interfering with the prophecy.

Overall, it did strike a blow against the tentacles extended by the Night Lord.

Which ruler sent it?

Edgar frowned slightly.
