Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Are you alright?" An Ran quickly asked Ella and Panda.

Ella shook her head: "I'm fine."

The panda also raised its hand.

Chen Tong and Ji Er are also fine.

"Thankfully, everyone is alright. Losing a spaceship is a bit unlucky, but it's not a big deal."

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

Two or three hundred meters away from her, a pitch-black tentacle suddenly emerged from behind Ella. With a flick of the tentacle, Ella vanished.

"..."

Anran touched her lips.

The series of mishaps made her wonder if she was a jinx.

"Damn it!" An Ran cursed simply and clearly.

Now is not the time to think about such things; we need to save Ella as soon as possible.

An Ran decisively pulled out the remaining three Guardians, then called on Panda and charged aggressively in the direction the tentacle had fled.

Although the tentacle monster was agile, it was ultimately no match for the guardians whose tail fins could directly activate a level two jet.

A dozen minutes later, the four guardians surrounded the tentacle monster.

[Name]: Free-floating consciousness

[Race]: Belief Consciousness

[Level]: Level 191

No wonder Ella couldn't fight it off for a while.

Health Points: (2178000/2178000)

[Note]: The physical manifestations of consciousness that spills out from the gaps in the world when it comes into contact with wandering faith.

That looks impressive.

An Ran muttered to herself for a moment, then shouted, "You're surrounded! Let go of Ella right now, there's no way you can escape from here!"

Although the monster couldn't hear her, An Ran still shouted.

She soon regretted it.

After she shouted, her wandering consciousness, which had just given up on escaping, turned into a phantom and rushed out from the gap between the guardians in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace.

"I……"

*****!

An Ran felt like she was being targeted.

No matter what she says, things will only get worse.

Could it be that she is under some kind of curse?

An Ran quickly opened her attribute panel.

She checked everything but found nothing unusual; there wasn't a single buff after the name.

If there's a real problem, it will definitely be displayed on the panel.

"In short, we must go and save Ella."

An Ran turned off the panel, her expression serious.

Just as she was about to command the guardians to attack, An Ran suddenly remembered something.

"I said it couldn't run away, and it did. But what if I said it differently?"

Anyway, trying won't hurt, An Ran took a deep breath and said, "A person who has kidnapped Ella's wandering consciousness certainly won't be stupid enough to run into my encirclement."

Jill, who had been spacing out, turned her head and glanced at An Ran.

Isn't that obvious?

What kind of stupid monster is that?

Oh……

However, a dozen seconds later, Anran and Jill were both dumbfounded.

A shadowy figure flashed across the dark, empty sky, and then the stray consciousness that had captured Ella came to an abrupt halt between the four Guardians.

"..."

It might just be an accident!

An Ran sneered: "If this wandering consciousness dares to release Ella, I'll shatter steel plates with my chest!"

The detached consciousness glanced at An Ran, then released its tentacles and threw Ella over.

"..."

Jill stared in astonishment at Anran and the drifting consciousness.

So you two are putting on an act here?

"Cough cough..."

Ella was thus rescued.

An Ran remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she found a steel plate in a corner between the seals, took it out, placed it on her chest, and slapped it to pieces.

It was so-so, I didn't feel anything at all.

Let the broken steel plates drift in the starry sky, a peaceful gaze and a wandering consciousness converge at one point.

An Ran was filled with mixed emotions at this moment.

Perhaps this is what it means for words to become law.

"This detached consciousness could never turn into an orange cat!"

Then, Jill witnessed the spectacular transformation of a cat into a living creature.

"This detached consciousness could never say that Anran is the best in the world."

A certain orange: "Anran is the best in the world!"

Of course, the orange only mouthed the words; in this deep space environment, Anran couldn't hear it speak.

But Jill was stunned; she had completely forgotten her grief.

She asked, "You, you, how did you do that?"

An Ran shrugged: "How could I possibly know?"

At this moment, the orange started talking again.

It seemed to be an explanation meant for Anran.

"I……"

An Ran covered her mouth.

She suddenly realized that this was not only not an interesting thing, but rather a bit terrifying.

What if she accidentally said that a detached consciousness couldn't kill her? Wouldn't she be doomed?

An Ran quickly tossed a communicator over and said, "A wandering consciousness could never explain its origins into a communicator."

The orange cat stretched out its paw and caught the communicator.

As its mouth opened and closed, Anran learned of its origin.

As the note on the panel says, the free consciousness came into this world following the decomposing consciousness that "killed" it.

After the decomposed consciousness died, it resided in the wandering power of faith and became what it is now.

It was separated from the Myriad Machines God and originated from the Aetheric God Realm in the gap between worlds.

The reason for interpreting An Ran's words in reverse is that An Ran is an Ether Mechanic, but An Ran is not a recognized Ether Mechanic.

The so-called recognition refers to the test required to advance to the Star Domain Ruler level.

In gaming terms, this is called a "leveling-up quest".

“That makes sense. I’m still eight levels away from becoming a Star Domain Ruler.” An Ran nodded silently.

What shocked her even more was the existence of the God of Myriad Machines and the God of Ether.

Although she believed that the Aether Soul worshipped by the Mechanicus was extraordinary, it seemed a little too extraordinary.

Oh, God of Machines!

This name sounds really cool.

Let's get one for her too.

After hearing this, Anran arrested Mouju.

First, we extracted the approximate locations of the Etheric Realm and the Time Corridor from its mouth.

Then An Ran grabbed a certain Ju by the neck and said fiercely, "Before An Ran knocks out her own teeth, whatever she says will be believed by your unconscious mind."

After confirming that the orange had listened, Anran tried saying a few more words, but the orange really didn't react at all, which made Anran very satisfied.

It's just a tooth, isn't it? Anyway, she's an empty space, so a new one will grow right away if she's knocked out.

“Yes, it’s about time. Let’s go find the Time Corridor now,” Anran said to Jill.

It wasn't until now that Jill recovered from her shock.

"Oh, oh, oh." She nodded repeatedly.

Yes, saving Chen Tong is more important; there's no time to waste.

After wandering in the sea of ​​stars for more than a day, Anran finally brought Jill to the destination that a certain orange had mentioned.
