Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Standing to his right front was Latina from Silent City.

"I didn't expect you all to arrive so quickly."

Bridges strode up to Latina.

The wind high in the sky made his long black robe flutter loudly.

The most eye-catching thing was the black M-shaped tiara that Bridges wore in her hair.

Latina's face was mostly smiling, which kept her very popular, and even Bridges didn't dislike her that much.

"The Pope seems to be in a fairly good mood."

"That's natural."

Bridges grinned.

"After all, the real show is about to begin."

After a relentless search, the group quickly located the space where the Red Maple Fortress was situated.

The lava devoured the buildings of Red Maple Fortress, but it could not devour the pillar god statues.

This caught Bridges' attention.

"It seems that someone still lives here."

He raised his right hand, and a black beam of light shot out from his palm. A few seconds later, the beam reached the ground, and the raging flames instantly collapsed upon contact. An invisible pressure pushed the flames away, and a barren area more than ten kilometers wide appeared around the black beam of light.

At this moment, the beam of light began to corrode the earth.

Neither soil nor rock, nor any other mineral, could withstand the beam of light for even a second.

With a deafening roar, Bridges cleared the path to Red Maple Fortress.

He withdrew his right hand, and a dazzling red light appeared before his eyes.

"This……"

The scholar's eyes practically bulged out.

The rock layers on top of Red Maple Fortress were reinforced with elemental magic arrays, yet they were so easily pierced.

“An Ran is right, these people are simply not people we can afford to offend.”

Not only that, they're also a group of hot-tempered guys.

Without a word, they ripped someone's roof off.

The scholar saw mechanical golems standing up on the isolated island surrounded by lava at Red Maple Fortress.

This is what Anran left behind.

"You'll see how these people will treat you then."

Annihilate them outright!

The scholar's pupils contracted.

He saw the black beam of light descend once more, landing on the mechanical puppet that had first appeared. From this point, the black hemisphere rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire Red Maple Fortress.

Boom!

"It's gone."

The ancestral land is gone.

It vanished into thin air, like an apple that had been bitten into.

An elderly Crimson Demon clutched his heart.

He felt a deep sense of lingering fear.

They felt powerless and saddened that their ancestral land, where the Crimson Demon Clan had thrived for thousands of years, had been erased.

Is this the fate of the weak?

If An Ran hadn't forcibly sent them onto the spaceship, their fate would be no different from those mechanical puppets.

"This is a catastrophe that could wipe out our entire clan."

The scholar looked at Ella, who had no expression, with a complicated expression.

"Amazing!"

Zhou Jieyu's scream brought the scholars back to their senses from grief.

That's right, now is not the time for grief. At least they escaped this disaster and survived.

"The True Ancestor is not the Red Lotus King that An Ran mentioned; it should be An Ran herself."

The scholar said in a low voice.

He saw Zhou Jieyu and Lin Yumo playing around together.

“I will be just as amazing in the future!” Zhou Jieyu said.

Lin Yumo replied, "Probably not."

"Why not?"

"Because you are a mechanic, and a mechanic cannot do this on their own."

"..."

Nothing is insurmountable.

Be strong!

……

"drop!"

Anran, who had been waiting in the purgatory world, finally heard the game's notification sound.

The Crimson King, struggling incessantly, swayed less and less, not because it was about to die, but because it had finally regained control of its body.

Most of the chaotic memories were torn into fragments, and only a few scattered pieces were ultimately inherited by the Crimson King.

Its six wings were slightly folded up, enveloping its body, and for a moment it looked like a huge, fiery red cocoon.

When An Ran's gaze fell upon him, the Crimson Lotus King also opened his pure black eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

The Milky Way keeps turning... Time seems to stand still... Yet millions of centuries have passed in the blink of an eye.

That was tens of millions of years.

It only lasted a minute.

Neither An Ran nor the King of Red Lotus made a move.

They sized each other up.

The Crimson King recalled his fragmented past.

That fluctuation...

That ability to alter the body...

His lips moved slightly, and a sound drifted to An Ran's ear.

Those two words were said as follows—

"Void!"

buzzing-

At this moment, An Ran suddenly received another hidden quest from the game.

【Red Lotus's Long-cherished Wish】

The mission rewards are 500 billion free experience points, a mechanical legacy from the Pioneers, 3 one-time skill items [Forbidden Crimson Lotus], the special title [High Dimension Invasion], and the colored weapon [Crimson Lotus Sword].

The mission requires you to help the Crimson King strike the Eternal Star Path.

"It doesn't involve higher dimensions, which is good."

An Ran was quite satisfied with her wait. If she had killed the Crimson Lotus King before it revived, she wouldn't have gotten these things.

After accepting the mission, An Ran secretly used the skill copy card on the King of Crimson Lotus.

She wanted to replicate the Crimson King's resurrection talent skill, "Rebirth from the Ashes."

But unfortunately.

"It's a racial talent."

Even if she copied it, Anran wouldn't be able to use it, so she had to give up on the plan.

"Fine, then let's keep it then."

An Ran raised her head.

Smiling, he said to the King of Crimson Lotus, "That's right, I am the Void."

The King of Crimson Lotus became excited.

Its purpose is to guide higher-dimensional beings such as the Void to this world, but right now, a Void is standing in front of it!

"I will be loyal to you!"

The King of Crimson Lotus knelt on one knee and shouted.

Hey—

An Ran stared in astonishment at the level 187 epic boss before her, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

What does this feel like?

It's probably because happiness came too suddenly.

Chapter 19: The fighting just started and then broke out.

"The disordered energy has dissipated."
