Poverty makes me capable of anything.

At that moment, Derrick felt as if he saw a blinding light.

That was the radiance of confidence.

He couldn't help but want to reach out and cover his eyes.

Executor?

interesting.

Derrick was more interested in Enron than in exploring the questions she raised.

Where does her confidence come from?

Power?

Where does her power come from?

Anran noticed that Derrick's eyes were gradually brightening.

His gaze gradually became more solid.

When the scattered light regrouped into a single point, Anran received a notification from the game.

"You have completed the hidden quest [Cheer up, Derrick]."

"The mission reward is 1 million free experience points and the talent skill [Unwavering Demeanor]."

[Unwavering Demeanor]: Reduces damage taken from mental attacks by 10%.

Since Anran's mental attribute is not high, the 10% damage reduction from this talent is not very meaningful when facing powerful mental attacks.

But Anran wasn't focused on the reward for this mission; rather, she was interested in the series of important missions that Derrick would be tasked with later.

If Derrick gives up completely, this storyline will probably end.

Derrick said, "I hope to gain the right to move freely."

“I will not restrict the freedom of those who work for me.” An Ran changed the subject. “Of course, I also have my own bottom line.”

“Sure, you can call me anytime you need me,” Derrick nodded.

An Ran took out a bunch of communicators made of living metal.

"Let's use this one."

Anran tossed the item into Derrick's palm.

After Keming left, Derrick's body shrank considerably, but it was still over ten kilometers long.

An Ran standing in front of him was no different from a tiny black dot.

Derrick watched as An Ran returned to the spaceship.

He lay quietly, waiting for himself to fully take control of his new body.

After that, his first task was to gather information.

He will find all his fellow tribesmen who have colluded with the unbelievers.

If they're all dead, then so be it; but if they're not...

The power contained within this body is no joke!

It wasn't until four days later that An Ran finally left the area in her Divine Court-class warship.

"Is it a coincidence, or did she predict that I would recover today?"

As he stood up, Derrick's eyes flickered.

An Ran's image in his eyes became increasingly unfathomable.

Derrick was not arrogant at all.

Because his power came from something extraordinary—he mastered the power of the Star Domain Ruler without any enlightenment—he wouldn't believe there were no aftereffects.

At this point, Derrick's body had returned to normal human size, but his appearance remained unchanged.

Monsters born for war.

That doesn't really have any impact, since there are plenty of people with strange appearances in this world.

Let's go.

He put away the communicator and in the blink of an eye, Derrick slipped into the ordinary spaceship that Anran had left for him.

……

On the Divine Court-class warship.

While playing games on the sofa, Tsykya would occasionally turn her head to glance at Anran, who was taking a nap beside her.

She felt that An Ran's aura was much stronger than it had been four days ago.

This is what puzzled Tsukiya.

If Anran were still the Starkiller, that would be fine.

But she is already the ruler of the star field, yet she can still rapidly increase her strength, which is simply unreasonable.

It should be understood that the strength of all star field rulers is accumulated over time, unless they suddenly acquire some supreme treasure.

An Ran had been staying right under Ciqiya's nose, so Ciqiya knew very well that An Ran hadn't used any props.

The only truly magical Origin Tree was devoured by that giant tree that has now disappeared to who knows where.

"Why is that?"

Tsukiya paused the game and climbed down from the sofa barefoot.

She tiptoed to An Ran's side without making a sound.

When the panda looked over warily, Ciqiya made a shushing gesture.

"?"

First, observe!

Ciqiya moved closer to Anran.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were exquisite.

But there was nothing unusual.

So, will there be any abnormalities in the body covered by clothes?

Come to think of it, she had never seen what An Ran looked like without clothes.

Ciqiya placed her hand on Anran's hem.

The next second, An Ran grabbed her hand.

"I am a star field ruler, after all. Even if I really fall asleep, my combat suit will definitely issue an automatic warning."

(*^▽^*)

Ciqiya smiled brightly.

An Ran said, "It's impossible for someone to quietly push me down."

"Who wants to push you down!"

"But I'm so excited right now, so excited that I want to push you down."

"..."

Tsykya didn't stop until she retreated to the sofa.

She tightened her clothes: "I'm still young, you go find Virginia."

Virginia will beat you up.

An Ran shook her head.

She walked to the control panel; the temporary base was not far away.

At the same time, An Ran opened her own panel.

Her strength improved because she completed all the tasks she had finished.

After accumulating 1920 billion free experience points through missions and reaching level 204, An Ran still had 2300 billion experience points left, which she saved for advancing to new directions.

In addition to the experience, Anran also obtained two new blueprints.

These are [Psionic Descent] (a single-target teleportation device) and [Psionic Collapse Bomb] (which causes all psionic energy within the blast radius to go berserk).

Three one-time skill cards have been credited to your account.

There is a skill called "Competing for the Top" from the High Priest. After use, it restores 5 units of ability within 3 minutes, but the side effect is that lifespan will be reduced by 10 years.

Anran has a long life ahead of her; she can afford to wait.

There is a [Fate Reversal] skill from High Priest Chunhui, which can be used automatically to reduce one fatal attack.

There is an [unreasonable spread] from an unknown star-killer; the damage of the next single-target attack can spread to up to ten targets.

Anran also received a new title.

[Destructive Will Lv1]: Spirit +100.

Passive effect: Damage dealt to the opposing faction increased by 10%.

For each secondary civilization destroyed (a civilization with a star system master), the level of the Will to Destroy increases by 1, and faction damage also increases by 10%.

This is a title born of violence, and it will become even more powerful because of violence.

After the mission was completed, An Ran also obtained some miscellaneous equipment and weapons, which she had no use for and planned to sell after returning to the base.

What An Ran was most concerned about was the unfinished side quest in the [Ascension] questline—

Singularity Explosion

The name itself suggests that this mission is related to destiny.

This quest is also unlocked after you die.

A soul has escaped from the sealed singularity, and the mission requires finding out the reason safely.

The mission reward is the blueprint for the Mechanic's [Secrets of Dimensions] direction, [Galaxy Collapse], which takes a completely opposite approach to hyperdimensional particles, but has a much larger single-target attack range.
