Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Reeves licked his lips, his smile becoming somewhat sinister.

Cherny nodded: "Normally, Ella Overlord is indeed no match for Fisher. However..."

Reeves said, "Bluster?"

Cherny laughed heartily: "Do you know where I come from?"

“Silent City…wait!” Reeves’s expression darkened slightly. “Silent City, you mean Virginia? No, Virginia should still be in the Sea of ​​Time right now.”

"you sure?"

"Chernny joked."

"..."

"It's been over a month since the defeat of the Feathered Civilization, Reeves. Your information isn't very reliable."

Unsure whether Cherny was telling the truth or not, Reeves hesitated to make a move.

He could only force himself to say, "Even with Virginia here, Senior Fisher has nothing to fear."

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

Reeves shouted to bolster his courage.

After all, Fisher became famous earlier than Virginia, so there's a high probability that he's stronger.

Cherny shook his head: "But even if you wanted to run now, you couldn't. The space around here has been locked for a long time. You shouldn't have come here in the first place."

Reeves' body was surrounded by surging energy.

He looked around and realized he could no longer afford to waste any more time with Cherny.

"You're trying to stall for time, aren't you, Cherny? I won't give you that chance!"

Reeves roared and lunged at Cherny.

Just as the spike in his hand was about to pierce Cherny's body, a beam of particles suddenly shot out from the sky.

Reeves froze.

The immense pressure slowed his reaction by half a beat.

It was that brief pause that allowed the particle beam to pierce right through Reeves' shoulder.

"cough--"

He vomited a mouthful of blood.

Reeves' expression changed drastically.

That's the aura of a star field ruler!

He would never admit his mistake.

But the surrounding space had been sealed off, and Reeves couldn't find any way to escape.

"it's over!"

Several more particle beams shot out from the psionic servant's body, one of which struck Reeves directly in the neck.

Deadly attack!

Reeves' body was instantly severed in two.

He dragged himself, covered in blood, trying to bring his head back.

But in the end, it was struck by the particle beams that followed from behind.

"So strong."

Reeves' consciousness completely dissipated.

An Ran also received a kill notification.

In order to quickly and easily defeat Reeves, the psionic servant used up almost a third of his stored energy.

The war is over.

After Reeves fell, Cerny began to clean up the mess.

News of what happened here will soon spread throughout the entire starry sky, inevitably triggering a series of events, but those events need to be dealt with slowly and carefully by Anran.

Cerny just needs to focus on the present.

“Reeves’ father and Sawyer certainly won’t let this go easily,” Zizia said.

An Ran smiled and said, "They started this, and we're in the right. Besides, they don't have time to deal with us right now."

Serving in a top-tier civilization like the Eternal Star Road has its advantages, but also its disadvantages.

"If they incite the Lord of the Night to come, then that suits my purposes perfectly!"

Anran is still thinking about the mining base she built in the Dust Territory.

Hours later, the starry sky returned to calm.

All that's left to operate outside are garbage collection boats.

The NPCs in the command room were still in a daze.

Because they had not received any prior notice from An Ran, they had no idea how they had won the battle.

It seems like they're just proceeding with the defense step by step.

Then, during the fight, the Radiance mercenaries suddenly self-destructed?

"That's really strange," an NPC muttered.

As An Ran passed by the command room, before taking stock of the mission's achievements, she first sent a message back to the Divine Court.

The trial plan is about to begin.

The operation was successful and yielded many results.

Two large-scale tasks were triggered in total.

These are the base defense mission and Fisher's challenge mission.

The former provides Enron with 270 billion points of free experience, as well as a rare professional legacy from Reeves, which Enron can learn on her own or pass on to others.

The latter provided Enron with a total of 1320 billion experience points, and that was only because Enron's output was not high enough.

In addition to experience, Anran also obtained the rare equipment [Ring of Precision Forging] from Fisher. This equipment can replicate an equipment of known structure (up to level 200), which is an advanced application of the magic of mimicry.

Other equipment cannot be copied until the clone is destroyed. The cooldown time is 1 hour.

Putting aside any other uses, it's definitely incredibly effective at pinning the blame on others!

"And this title, [Eternal Throne], is also a good thing."

The road to eternity is sure to be littered with corpses.

Killed a Star Domain Overlord, current title level Lv1.

Effect: Intelligence +50, Spirit +100

The additional active skill, [Ascension Magic], can remove any debuff from the user, with a ten-minute cooldown.

After casually leveling up to 205, An Ran returned to the Divine Court through the passage constructed by the Hollow Stone.

She is waiting.

When news of the complete annihilation of the Radiant Mercenaries spread, the first thing they encountered was an inquiry from the Exiled Empire.

"Reeves and Fisher have gone missing. Do you know the details?"

The question concerns the star system ruler who intervened at the All Metal Cult headquarters and stopped Heda last time.

An Ran nodded: "They are already dead."

"died?"

The man was greatly alarmed.

"How did you do that?"

The Cult of the Machine God shouldn't have this kind of power.

Virginia.

Upon hearing the name, the star field ruler immediately understood.

But even though he understood it, he still had a headache.

In the early stages of the Sequence Wars, the Exiled Empire and the Eternal Starway tacitly agreed not to interfere with each other, but now the Mechanicus and Silent City have pulled this stunt.

“This is just a reasonable counterattack,” An Ran said. “The Radiant Mercenaries tried to launch a sneak attack on the Mechanicus’ temporary base in the planetary graveyard while I was away. We couldn’t let them cause trouble. They only have themselves to blame for how things turned out this way.”

"..."

"When someone bullies you, what do the members of the War Court usually do?"

"To destroy a tooth with a tooth."

The Star Domain Overlord opposite them laughed.

He didn't care whether it was a trap set by Anran; that was ultimately just speculation without evidence. The most important thing was that Fisher was undoubtedly the one who struck first.

"You don't need to worry about this; the War Court will take full responsibility. If anyone from the Eternal Star Path contacts you, have them come and talk to me!"

An Ran smiled too.

It truly deserves to be called a top-tier civilization.

That's the kind of fearless confidence we need!

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

The contact from the Eternal Star Path came quickly, at noon the next day.

The gloomy-faced man claimed to be Reeves' father and tried to exert pressure on Anran with his authority even across countless light-years.

"That's my only son!"

“Don’t waste your time.” An Ran shook her head. “I deal with virtual data every day. If a 3D model can scare me, I’d better go home and farm.”
