Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"I support it. Let's have some bloodshed to spread our reputation, otherwise any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to cause trouble at Twilight Sanctuary."

"I prefer a touch of yellow to blood."

Master He pricked up his ears.

Does anyone have GHS?

"Considering her relationship with the controller, we shouldn't go too far. Let's just give her a lesson she'll never forget."

As for what the lesson was, that was the topic of discussion among the pirates.

Although most people felt that destroying the base and killing An Ran's men was the best lesson.

But there's still a small group of people who are obsessed with that risqué thing.

"No one will die anyway."

"Keep dreaming. Do you think you can beat her?"

"..."

With half a day to go before FOR-011 and the Crimson King arrive, the pirates' attack finally resumed.

An Ran tried to stall for time with them for a long time, but she couldn't buy enough time, so she had to start fighting back.

Under the intimidation of the six guardians, the pirates didn't dare to exert too much force for a while.

After all, the Guardians are simply too powerful. They can withstand countless cannon fire and tear apart warships with their bare hands. When a Warp Beam falls, the area within tens of thousands of miles of the point of impact will be immediately flattened.

Most pirates were concerned about protecting their own ships, and their formation gradually dispersed as the fighting progressed.

Although the leaders of those large pirate groups were very dissatisfied with this, they did not say anything.

This makes the attack a bit slower, but it's not a big problem.

With more time, we can eventually break through Anran's defenses.

"It's okay, we have plenty of time to slowly wear her down. Let's see if she can afford to wait."

We can afford to wait, of course we can!

This is a situation that Enron would most like to see.

Although the Guardians' maintenance costs are not low, these pirates are rich, so we can just rob them.

The following morning, after passing through the outer cluster of spaceships, the Crimson King arrived before Anran with FOR-011.

"This is……"

Looking at FOR-011 that suddenly appeared in front of her, An Ran closed her eyes tightly and shook her head vigorously.

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was that thing that looked like a slime from Dragon Quest.

However, although FOR-011 looks weak, its stats are actually quite impressive.

Name: Marcus

[Race]: Bionic Mucus

[Level]: Level 198

[Health Points]: 14620800...

A full eight figures of health points!

Aside from those with inscrutable stats, the bionic slime Markars is the boss with the longest health bar that Anran has ever seen.

"Things don't seem too good."

The King of Crimson Lotus said.

An Ran nodded: "You've come at just the right time. Those people outside aren't on guard at all right now. If we attack now, we can definitely cripple them!"

"Then leave it to us!"

At this point, the level of Crimson Lotus had reached 195.

As the remnant of the Forerunners who had the longest contact with Anran, the Crimson King's loyalty to Anran was not much less than his loyalty to the Chain of Judgment.

Anyway, Marcus is a ruthless guy who believes in "less talk, more action," so there's no need for small talk.

That couldn't be better.

Finally, An Ran, the man who was supposed to be a tool for fighting, was in a great mood.

This is a super strong level 198 expert! I'll show you what cruelty is and what Anran's secret weapon is!

"Don't rush, let me help you disguise yourself," An Ran said.

She plans to disguise the Crimson Lotus King as a guardian.

As for Markarus, he's quite cute, so he shouldn't be mistaken for a demon who wants to overthrow human rule.

While Anran was disguising the Crimson King, the bionic slime Marcus had already put on a disguise for himself, mimicking the Guardian.

"..."

Hehehe...

An Ran smiled awkwardly.

Although Marcus's imitation was very realistic, but—

It's so small!

Bandai Namco sells Gundam models, ranging from 1/60 scale to 1/144 scale.

Even after becoming a Guardian, Markus remained the same height, even shorter than Anran's knee. Keep in mind that a Guardian is at least 900 meters tall, so this reduction in height is too drastic. Anran even considered taking Markus in her hands and playing with it as a toy.

When others transform, they can change their body shape, but you...

"Isn't this just a defective product?"

An Ran did not say those words aloud.

Although the friendship between the Void and the Forerunners is a safety net, what if Markarus gets angry and kills her with a single punch?

Just as Anran was considering how to give Markus a new look—perhaps as an accessory to the Crimson King—Christopher walked in from outside.

He saw the Crimson King, who had successfully disguised himself, and he also saw Markars.

"Oh, those kids outside were right after all. Is this our secret weapon?"

Marcus turned around, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

An Ran quickly moved to the side, blocking his view.

“That’s right, these are the brand-new Guardian Flame Lord and Mini Warrior that I spent three months creating!” An Ran explained. “With them on the front lines, those pirates outside are nothing to fear. You can go and take care of your chicken farm with peace of mind.”

Christopher shook his head: "I just came back from the chicken farm, and they're all doing well."

"..."

It tastes even better.

An Ran rolled her eyes. She pulled out her inventory and immediately spotted the [Giant Spirit Clan Enhancement Trial Card].

Good job.

This trial card allows the target to swell up like a giant, and also increases their strength and stamina attributes.

This thing isn't very useful to Anran, who is a Void being and can change his form, but it's a different story when used on Markas.

Just as Markus and the Crimson King were about to leave, Anran called out to them.

"Don't go yet, let me give you a buff!"

An Ran took out the card and slapped it directly onto Marcus.

Marcus's body swelled at a rate visible to the naked eye.

This action not only startled the Crimson King, but even Markus himself was stunned.

Good heavens, how did they do that?

It's important to know that although it is powerful, its biggest regret is that it cannot change its body shape, because the amount of bionic mucus is limited, and even a wrong path cannot help it.

It's a pity that it was born too small.

But today, Anran did it!

Marcus felt his body was full; it wasn't filled with gas, it had really grown bigger.

Just listen to Christopher's words: "It's gotten bigger, wow, it's huge!"

Marcus suddenly became confident, and its body swelled to nearly two hundred meters tall. Although it was still not as tall as the Crimson King, it was at least taller than its knees.

Perhaps, this is the power of the void!

Game Hints——

[You have completed the hidden quest "The Heart of the Bionic Human". Rewards include 2 million Free Experience Points, 1 Endurance Enhancement Fruit, and 1 fragment of the title "[Highly Respected]".]

You have earned the heartfelt admiration of a bionic being.

"hiss--"

An Ran gasped.

Perhaps, this is the power of peace!

For a moment, An Ran also felt that she was highly respected.

Her presence gave Christopher a hallucination; although An Ran was only up to his chest, her figure seemed inexplicably taller.

Perhaps, this is the power of a genius mechanic!

An Ran happily ate the Endurance Fruit she had just been rewarded with, which added 20 points to her endurance, making her feel like she had gained a little more "weight".

"Sit down and watch the show."

Anran said to Christopher.

Christopher nodded. He didn't have anything urgent to do right now, so he might as well see how powerful the secret weapon Anran had mentioned really was.

Markars and the Crimson Lord flew out of the base.

Adhering to the principle of prioritizing efficiency, they made no attempt to hold back and plunged directly into space.
