Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran thought to herself that she was a mechanic and couldn't guide Jill, so sending Jill to Silent City was indeed a good idea.

This will not only solidify the strong friendship between Silent City and the Transcendental Dimension, but also provide Jill with a better environment for growth.

She should agree, both for public and private reasons.

"So, that's it..."

"I……"

Jill looked at Anran pitifully.

He smiled calmly.

She immediately saw through what Jill was thinking.

"Don't worry, if you go there, you will immediately become a disciple chosen by the Virginia Overlord. With this status, as long as you are willing to work hard, your food and accommodation will definitely be better than if you stayed by my side."

"Really?" Jill's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true."

Jill was smitten.

Although staying with An Ran was also good, it was definitely better over there.

Just ...

how to say.

Jill scratched her head.

Although An Ran was very strict with her, she was still a little reluctant to let go.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I didn't stop you, what are you hesitating for?"

Jill said softly, "May I have one more request?"

"explain."

"Can I take Chen Tong with me? You see, she's going to die soon anyway."

An Ran frowned.

She wasn't worried about anything else, but she was afraid that if Chen Tong's whereabouts were exposed, the Lord of the Night might cause trouble for Virginia.

Ciqiya waved her hand: "Relax, relax. With my strength, hiding Chen Tong is still very easy."

"That's fine."

They embarked on their journey to the Silent Land once again, this time bringing An Qianqian, who had stayed behind, along with them.

"I'll take you to visit your dad's hometown when I have time."

"..."

An Qianqian took a deep breath.

He didn't say anything, but he stayed close to An Ran.

Besides the Giant Spirit Clan, An Ran also planned to visit the territory of the Mechanical Spirit Clan—the place where Ella's core ancient essence was produced. Since it was all within the Exile Empire, An Ran could also send the corpse of the Floating Bird Ancient God back while he was at it.

……

Just as the war in Thousand Wheel Bay was reaching its climax, no one expected that Bartholomew, the ruler of the star field, would actually descend upon the battlefield.

That was in a strategic location near Soundwave City, where the giant army was engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders of the Eternal Star Road.

In the blink of an eye, no stars could be seen in the sky anymore, and even the light emanating from the warship was gradually swallowed up.

Night fell.

A phantom several hundred meters tall appeared in the very center of the battlefield.

"The ruler of the night!"

The giants were greatly alarmed.

The phantom looked around but couldn't find anyone from Silent City.

Then, images of Tsukiya and Sawyer confronting each other began playing on its body.

Have any of you seen these two people before?

One is Tsycia, and the other is Anran.

At this moment, the players on the battlefield held their breath.

safely.

How could they not know each other?

As the video played, everyone witnessed the moment when Tsykya transformed into Virginia.

Someone exclaimed in horror, "Has this war escalated to the point where even the rulers have joined the fray?"

The voice of the Lord of the Night rang in everyone's ears.

"Virginia deliberately disguised herself as a little girl to participate in this war. I never expected that someone of her stature, a ruler, would do something so despicable. I, Bartholomew, hereby issue this challenge to Virginia! I will now proceed to Silent City, and I hope that Virginia will give me a satisfactory answer then!"

A moment later, the black phantom disappeared.

The surrounding darkness also disappeared.

Only the voice of the Night Lord still echoed in everyone's ears.

One Star Domain Ruler challenges another Star Domain Ruler!

It's been so long since I've heard of something like this.

"This is absolutely explosive news!"

For a time, even the heat of the Thousand Wheel Bay War was overshadowed.

The news quickly spread to every corner of both star systems.

Countless people immediately set off, rushing to the vicinity of Silent City as quickly as possible.

It's more interesting to watch a spectacle from the sidelines.

Chapter 41 has been waiting so long I'm practically bald.

[Outside the number, outside the number, night...]

[What kind of news is this? It's so old, why are you still talking about extras?]

In short, this is going to be interesting, everyone hurry back to Quiet Place!

That's too far. It'll take seven or eight days to get back. What if they start fighting on the way? Then all that effort will have been wasted.

[Damn it! I don't care if he got away for nothing or not. That skinny monkey, the Night Lord, dared to make a move on my wife. I'll never forgive him!]

[Count me in. I'm not very good at talking. I'll join whichever faction the Night Lord is in and fight him.]

Let him wash his neck and wait. When the game level cap is raised to 200 or higher, I'm going to grab him and use him as a football.

[You need at least 22 people to play football, count me in.]

We also need substitutes.

Logistics and coaching staff also need to be arranged.

I'm a football fan, I want to play too!

Which team are you a fan of?

This is not important.

【…】

On the way to the Silent Land, Anran received the news, while Tsykya received the news from Virginia an hour later.

"..."

After being stared at by Tsukiya for a while, Anran asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"How come your intelligence network is so good?"

An Ran chuckled, not intending to explain.

"It's a secret!"

"..."

Tsykya remained silent for a moment.

Then he nodded and said, "Fine, after all, you're not my subordinate, so it's normal for you to have secrets."

Being well-informed is still a little secret; what's truly perplexing is why An Ran's strength has grown so rapidly.

If she were an ordinary mechanic, one could say she might be hiding her true abilities, but An Ran is an ethereal mechanic, and the strength of her domain power cannot be concealed.

Tsykia sighed, "How wonderful! Having such a powerful source of information is truly enviable."

Anran remained silent.

She changed the subject, asking, "The Lord of the Night is going to challenge the Lord of Virginia, aren't you worried at all?"

Ciqiya rolled her eyes.

“What’s the use of worrying? He’s already blocking the door. We have no choice but to fight now, otherwise, where will we put the face of Silent City? Besides, you’re the one who brought this on. If you hadn’t gone to cause trouble for Bridges, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

"Eh, really?" Anran exclaimed in surprise, "Then Ji'er..."

Tsykia said, "You're really cunning."

An Ran ignored this question and asked, "Isn't there a rumor that the Virginia Overlord and the Night Overlord fought once, and that the Night Overlord won?"

"Yes, that's true, but it happened a long time ago."

That would be troublesome.

An Ran thought to herself.

Whether or not you fight back, you'll ultimately lose face.
