Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Are you sure Heda wants to come?

Just as Jill was about to answer, she suddenly rang out: "Yes, yes, there's a live stream, Your Majesty, watch the live stream."

"Which live stream room?" Ciqiya asked anxiously.

"This one……"

After randomly poking around with her finger, Jill finally managed to bring up the live stream.

The atmosphere was somewhat subdued. The Pope was laughing loudly, while Anran was deep in thought. However, a news anchor was also recounting what had just happened.

"How will things turn out? Let's wait and see!"

"What the hell? Heda is really willing to step forward?"

Ciqiya quickly called for Anran.

The vibration woke Anran from her reverie.

Anran, who had just woken up, glanced at Ella first.

“(???`?)”

Everything is understood without words!

Ella stepped forward and blocked Anran's path, while Anran answered the call at the same time.

"You idiot!"

Tsykya's voice suddenly came out.

An Ran subconsciously took a step back.

"What is it now?" she asked, looking speechless.

Ciqiya was furious: "How did you manage to offend Heda?"

"Oh, you saw the news?" An Ran nodded and explained, "What could I do? Who knew she would actually come?"

"..."

After hesitating for a long time, Ciqiya finally spoke, "How long until you advance to the Star Domain Ruler level?"

A Starkiller who is highly likely to advance to the level of Starfield Overlord is one of the most important "strategic resources" for the Exiled Empire.

With her intervening, even Heda wouldn't dare to kill An Ran so easily.

Why are you asking this?

Ciqiya urged, "Speak quickly."

“Oh,” An Ran replied, “There’s still some time, but…”

An Ran's words were completely drowned out by the screams that came from the news broadcast room, like rolling waves.

"Star Domain Ruler! My God, it's the Star Domain Ruler!"

"Unexpectedly, things have taken a turn for the better!"

"It's actually a Star Domain Ruler."

What's going on?

Tsykia frowned and turned around.

She was about to turn the volume down when she saw the scene in the live stream and was stunned.

Star Domain Ruler!

Ella has advanced to the Star Domain Ruler level!

She clearly saw Ella simply raise her right hand, and the space in front of her distorted, with countless metals swirling around her, as spectacular as an asteroid belt orbiting a star.

The next second, all the metal flew out.

Seeing that things were not going well, the Pope turned around and tried to run away.

But he crashed headfirst into the high metal wall, and then countless pieces of metal pushed up on him, binding him so tightly that only his head was sticking out.

"how so."

The Pope's features were contorted, and he kept twisting his body, but he couldn't move an inch.

There was nothing above his head, yet he felt as if he were carrying a giant planet, the pressure making it impossible for him to breathe.

Star Domain Ruler.

The thought flashed through the Pope's mind.

A week ago, news came from the Divine Court of the Cult of the Machine God that a new Star Domain Ruler had been born within the Cult of the Machine God. At the time, An Ran denied the rumor, saying that she was not a Star Domain Ruler.

"I……"

I curse Grandpa Li!

The Pope was so angry that his face turned red.

cheated!

His kindness, his innocence, his trust were all brutally trampled by An Ran!

First came anger, which quickly subsided, followed by intense fear.

This is a power that controls a star field! How can he possibly fight against it?

"fraud!"

Those who had recently gone to the Divine Court to inquire about the situation also began to curse and swear.

They felt they had been manipulated by Enron.

That scumbag woman!

"The world has changed!"

"If they can escape Heda alive..."

Unlike the ubiquitous Star Killers, the number of Star Domain Rulers in the two top powers is also relatively small.

The birth of a new ruler signifies far too much.

The news spread like wildfire.

After the initial shock, Tsukiya immediately turned to ecstasy.

In spring, she sowed a seed, and under Anran's nurturing, the seed finally grew into a towering tree that could shelter the Silent City!

"We absolutely cannot let anything happen to Anran and Ella!"

Just as Tsykia was excitedly about to teach Anran how to deal with Heda, she suddenly overheard Anran's whispers.

"Where did I lie? Don't slander me. I'm an honest person, I wouldn't lie. How is it a lie that I said I'm not a Star Domain Ruler? You didn't even ask Ella if she was a Star Domain Ruler."

"..."

Tsykia coughed lightly: "You two leave here immediately and don't run into Heda. I'm heading to the War Court right now. Don't keep that broken crystal either. In short, whatever you do, don't get into a conflict with Heda, understand?"

“Okay,” An Ran nodded.

"Ok?"

Ciqiya doubted that she had heard correctly.

Why did you back down so quickly?

"I'll leave as soon as I get the compensation."

As for the Resurrection Crystal, although it is a good product, if the competitor is a well-established Star Domain Ruler, then An Ran would have to think twice.

We might end up losing both our own people and the things we didn't get.

“Listen,” Anran said to the Pope, “It is only right to pay back debts. You pay me back the money you owe me now, and I will leave immediately. Otherwise, even if Heda is backing you up, you… hehe.”

An Ran glanced at Ella.

They use violence to collect debts; if you don't pay, they beat you.

The Pope felt guilty.

Ella is the ruler of the star field.

The situation is different now.

Heda could protect him for a while, but not forever.

The Pope gritted his teeth and nodded with all his might.

"very good."

Ella temporarily relaxed her control over the Pope, who then sent Anran the location of a Full Metal Cult warehouse.

“The things stored there are worth more than the list you’ve made.”

"That would be best."

An Ran chuckled.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly felt an immense pressure coming from afar.

Star Domain Ruler!

An Ran's expression changed. How could they have arrived so quickly?

Ella stepped in and completely shielded Anran from the pressure.

A moment later, a figure emerged from deep space. It was a woman with short, neat hair, whose face was gloomy as she blocked An Ran's retreat.

"I didn't expect you to have summoned the Star Domain Ruler as well. It seems I'll have to put in more effort to deal with you today."

Chapter 19 Just how much power resides within that petite body?

Heda, as expected of a long-established star field ruler, completely overshadowed Ella in terms of prestige the moment she appeared.

This is not only because Hedda can leverage more influence, but also because of her looks and temperament.

A strong woman in her thirties standing next to an adorable eleven or twelve-year-old girl—judging by their aura alone, the former is probably stronger.
