Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Moreover, the Guardians she rebuilt could be put to the test then, even if the Crimson King was no longer around.

While taking a short rest in the spaceship, An Ran leveled up to 192 and maxed out several passive skills related to firepower networks, stacking the critical hit chance of the mechanical legion to 56%.

Her measurements are as follows:

【六围】：力量1712、敏捷1667、耐力1194、智力3374、精神1712（额外加精神壁垒337）、魅力12

After the upgrade, the total health points reached 196 million.

Including the 30% excess recovery and the second health bar, the total reaches 510 million.

As humanoid creatures, unless they are high-level hidden tank classes, their total health points cannot exceed Anran's.

Of course, for other species, such as certain robust cosmic behemoths, having over ten million health points is not difficult.

This is the innate talent of a species.

The Void's talents are spatial adaptability and physical damage reduction; in terms of sheer size, it's not much different from a normal human.

Since Anran is a Void that has been transformed later in life, she did not inherit the talent for physical damage reduction.

When it comes to being able to withstand a beating, Anran, Ella, and Panda are all top-notch.

After upgrading, An Ran began to create the [Void Energy Extraction Device].

She wasn't actually craving the void energy, which was more destructive than psionic energy—though she was still somewhat tempted, An Ran didn't completely deny it; she felt she deserved praise.

Of course, Anran hoped to use these voids to feed the pandas, which had stopped growing for a long time, as soon as possible.

Ella has received a large amount of metal from the Mech Spirits. Once she has fully digested that metal, her level will not be low.

But pandas are different.

Her strength increased rapidly in the period immediately after she came out of the interdimensional gap, but that was actually because she was recovering her strength before she was imprisoned. After that, the panda's strength increased very slowly.

Unlike An Ran, she couldn't arbitrarily increase her strength by relying on experience points.

At first glance, the Void Extraction Device looks like a sphere with many holes on it.

Those cavities can extract void energy from the outside world, which is then transmitted to the associated energy storage device through the induction channel beneath the sphere.

It sounds simple, but it took Anran more than a day just to analyze this drawing.

To ensure accuracy, most of the components of the extraction device had to be made by Anran himself.

You can't just throw them into the factory like you would when creating a Guardian.

"What did you go off to do?"

Several hours later, Ciqiya met Anran.

An Ran explained, "To avoid being followed, I deliberately took a longer route."

Ciqiya nodded with some doubt.

She always felt that An Ran deliberately went to a place where she couldn't see her for a reason, but she couldn't ask about it.

So she naturally transitioned to another topic.

"What was that black energy beam that suddenly shot out when you were fighting those mercenaries? I'm not sure if you saw it clearly, but that energy beam directly carved a hole in the giant spirit's fleet. If that energy beam had exploded directly in the center of the fleet, the resulting energy storm would have been enough to destroy the entire fleet."

An Ran was startled: "That's so exaggerated?"

She was so stunned by the damage from the black energy beam that she didn't pay attention to what was happening outside.

If what Tsykia said is true, then the power of this energy beam is even greater than she imagined.

Tsykia said with a serious expression, "I've observed it carefully. The interference generated when that energy dissipated directly paralyzed the AI ​​of dozens of nearby spaceships, and even caused many small cracks in space. Although its flight distance wasn't far..."

Tens of millions of kilometers is indeed not far compared to space warfare, and there are many weapons that can strike across star systems or even across star regions.

"But the attack power is definitely not something that an ordinary Star Killer could produce."

Does Anran possess a weapon comparable to a single strike from a star field overlord?

If that's the case, then it's a serious matter.

An Ran shook her head, quickly dismissing Ciqia's guess.

"That wasn't what I typed, actually..."

Anran recounted her experience.

But she naturally skipped over her conversation with the Crimson King.

"I don't know what kind of monster this is, but it seems that it cannot survive in our space, otherwise I would be gone by now."

Ciqiya nodded, acknowledging Anran's "deduction".

"This would make the waterway dangerous, speaking of waterways..."

Tsykia immediately thought of the famous hyperspace ghost incident on the Eternal Star Road recently.

Is there any connection between the two?

"Who knows?"

"Too."

Ciqiya shook her head and stopped bothering Anran.

An Ran was happy to watch the civil war among the Giant Spirit Clan from the sidelines.

Not long after Ernest fell, the pursuing force dispatched a strike fleet as instructed by Chick.

Ernest's death severely dampened the morale of the disorganized fleet.

In addition, Mobra's attack pierced a hole in the fleet, allowing the assault fleet to easily tear the enemy in two.

After that, the war entered a phase of pursuing a distant enemy.

Although Herlich, who had previously fled, reappeared, he was unable to gain the upper hand in the short term under the siege of the giants.

In this stalemate, the mercenaries hired by the Li Luan Yi Zhi began to have their own ideas.

Now is the perfect opportunity to seize the time and collect the Primal Liquid!

But after Anran's reminder, Chik made sure his men were extra careful.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered the anomaly.

The mercenaries all carried similar weapons, and when those weapons exploded, they would often leave a white sphere at the center of the explosion. The mercenaries would collect those white spheres using special glass tubes.

The way they looked at those white balls was no different from seeing an incredible fortune.

"..."

has a problem!

And it's a big problem!

When the giants discovered that these white orbs had been extracted from their own kind, they were enraged.

Even during wartime, they never forgot to remind those who were separated from the tribe.

Look at the mess you've made.

It's fine if we fight amongst ourselves, but you actually brought in these people with ulterior motives!

"Go and investigate the specifics."

Upon receiving the message, Meisel frowned deeply.

Things were a bit beyond his expectations.

Is there some kind of conspiracy behind this?

No wonder everything went exceptionally smoothly when the commission was initially placed.

Meisel's investigation quickly yielded results.

The mercenaries' actions have been exposed.

But they did not panic.

"We are killing your enemies. Should we show mercy to our enemies?"

"Killing is killing, so why differentiate? In any case, they'll all lose consciousness instantly without any pain."

"Give these things to you? No, no, no, these are our spoils of war."

Meisel found himself in a deadlock that seemed impossible to break.

If all those mercenaries are driven away at this point, their war against the Zhuiyuan tribe will definitely be at a disadvantage.

But if these people aren't driven away, once the Zhuiyuan branch spreads this news, the ordinary clansmen who originally supported them will probably waver.

After hesitating for a long time, Meisel decided to leave it at that for the time being.

The victor is king, the loser is villain; if he loses, Cheek will never let him off the hook.

Of course, he also had to warn the mercenaries that they couldn't be allowed to continue being so arrogant.

They were just guests.

They need to understand that guests can't beat hosts.

Herlich was probably the most unfortunate one among them.

Ernest's death saddened him for a few seconds, but when he realized that Anran was gone and would not return, Herlich knew that his chance had come.

However, he was soon surrounded and beaten by a group of people before he could be arrogant for long.

As the battle raged on, An Ran sent over the Dragon Knight Guardian again.

Anran was still eyeing the money on the gambling table.

While eliminating Ernest and paving the way for Cheek's victory was a great contribution, what if someone else got even more credit?

An Ran didn't want to lose money.

With dragon knights watching over them, they flocked to any opportunity to gain merit.

That way, no one can surpass her.

"Ha, I really am a genius."

An Ran was happy, while those who bet on her not winning first place were frustrated.
