Poverty makes me capable of anything.

That was because of his father's influence, the Star Domain Ruler came to help. Although Reeves was arrogant, he did not dare to disobey the Star Domain Ruler's wishes.

He quickly replied, "Yes."

With a swift release of his right hand, the prisoner retreated several meters in terror.

How could he possibly know where such a large home planet went?

Either the invaders' star map is faulty, or...

"It seems we've fallen behind," the star field ruler said.

Reeves frowned: "You mean..."

“That’s right. The two auras I sensed were indeed those of a Star Domain Ruler. It seems that a battle at the Star Domain Ruler level broke out here not long ago. The home planet of the Feathered Civilization was probably destroyed in the battle.”

Reeves gasped.

He quickly asked, "If it's you, Senior Fisher, could you...?"

Fisher interrupted Reeves with a loud laugh: "I've been at the Star Domain Overlord level for almost three thousand years. How could those two juniors possibly be my match? Their auras are far too weak. If they were in front of me, I could take on both of them by myself!"

Upon hearing this, Reeves stomped his foot in frustration.

Oh shit.

It was only one day late.

If he had been a little more decisive, with Fisher's assistance, the homeworld of the Feathered Civilization would already be under his control.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! I didn't get the biggest benefit."

Enraged, Reeves beheaded the prisoner with a single wave of his hand.

He's just a prisoner; there's absolutely no need for pity!

Once the Feathered Civilization is completely defeated, he can take as many prisoners as he wants.

"Anyway, let's investigate the area; we might find something." Reeves began to instruct his men to search for intelligence in the vicinity.

After two hours of searching, Reeves found nothing of any use.

"unlucky!"

He felt an immense surge of anger within him, yet he had nowhere to vent it.

Just as Reeves was about to leave, the Drenthe civilization led its fleet and arrived before the Mechanicus.

"Reeves? And Fisher!"

The guide to the Drenthe civilization lowered his gaze slightly.

Unexpectedly, despite the war progressing so smoothly on their side, the Radiant Mercenary Group still managed to get ahead.

"You guys are really something."

The guide forced a smile.

"Ok?"

He didn't only know that Fisher was also suspicious of them.

The confrontation was only slightly eased when Anran led the Mechanicus fleet to arrive late.

"What? The Radiant Mercenary Group took everything?"

Upon hearing the guide's words, An Ran was "greatly alarmed," followed by "anger rising within her."

Ultimately, with the support of her strong personal qualities, An Ran managed to suppress all her thoughts.

She stood there calmly, but the guide couldn't read any expression on her face.

It is so exquisite that it looks like a robot sculpted by human hands.

“After all, they are a well-established mercenary group. Although they suffered a great loss before, their foundation is indeed something that our Mechanical God Cult cannot match,” An Ran said.

The guide was taken aback.

What?

How could An Ran actually admit defeat?

Until he heard An Ran's next words—

"However, if I have another ten years, the Cult of Machines will surely be able to completely leave Radiance behind."

Look, this is true peace.

The guide no longer had any doubts.

He joined forces with Enron to target Fisher on the other side.

"What, you want to fight?"

Fisher looked at Anran and the guide's 3D model with an arrogant expression.

He is a Star Domain Ruler of level 209!

Anran asked the guide, "Where does his confidence come from?"

The guide shook his head: "It is said that he has not fought with anyone for thousands of years. Before that, Fisher was famous and once single-handedly suppressed two star field rulers without suffering any injury."

"..."

That being said, Fisher is still only level 209.

He's two levels below Derrick.

Their health is incomparable.

An Ran asked, "What about the two Star Domain Overlords who fought against Fisher?"

"He's already dead."

really.

"The vegetable is already dead."

The guide didn't hear him clearly at first, and asked, "What did you just say?"

An Ran said seriously, "I think this Fisher is very strong, so we should be careful. Although we have more people on our side, they might also have some tricks up their sleeves."

The guide nodded in agreement: "That's exactly right."

He feared that An Ran, being young and fearless, would directly confront him head-on.

That's an old monster who has been at the Star Domain Ruler level for thousands of years.

Do not provoke them lightly!

"how?"

Seeing that there was no response from the other side for a long time, Fisher laughed and said, "Are you just going to stand there like this forever?"

The guide said in a deep voice, "You guys are pretty good this time. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."

“Hmph!” Fisher then asked Anran, “What does the Mechanicus mean?”

An Ran said with admiration, "I agree with the guide's point of view, but time will change everything."

"Time is the best witness, but what it witnesses is another matter."

Fisher cut off the communication, laughed loudly, and went out.

That's how "威名" (prestige/renown) is used.

Reeves looked at Fisher with adoration.

One day, he too will become such a terrifying ruler of the star field!

"Oh."

The guide shook his head.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Fisher; if they really went all out, the Drenthe civilization could definitely keep Fisher here.

However, this means they will have to pay too high a price.

Even killing Fisher and obtaining the secrets of the Feathered Civilization wouldn't be enough to compensate for this enormous loss.

Especially after the war, they also had to face the watchful eyes of Reeves' father and Sawyer.

It's not worth it.

The guide glanced at An Ran.

He believed that An Ran thought the same way.

The foundation of the Mechanicus is not yet sufficient.

Their Drenthe civilization couldn't afford it, and the Mechanicus was even less capable.

"Now it's time to digest the spoils of this war," the guide said.

An Ran said, "That's true, but we can't let the remnants of the Feathered Civilization escape, lest they cause trouble."

The guide nodded in agreement.

Anran smiled and saw him off.

Yes, it's time to digest the harvest.

In addition to the rewards from Derrick's missions, the rewards from the main faction missions, "Sequence of War," are also substantial.

This was all thanks to Winston bringing back the information processing module from the Demon Ship, and also thanks to the Unbelievers who brought Enron the space displacement technology it desperately needed.

An Ran didn't rush to count the mission rewards.

With nothing much to do at the moment, An Ran wasn't in a hurry to improve her strength.

The most urgent task is to deal with Derrick first.

On a secluded, uninhabited planet, the exhausted Derrick is being looked after by Ella, the Great Tree, Camilla, and Tsykia.

When An Ran safely traversed space and arrived here, Derrick was genuinely impressed.

The Cult of Machine God is merely one of the foreign invaders, yet they possess five supreme beings on the same level as him!

Keep in mind that there are three other invaders as powerful as the Mechanicus!
