Poverty makes me capable of anything.

When the fork in the road saw those energy beams again, they were clearly shooting from completely opposite directions.

Boom—

The ships that lagged behind had no time to react, and under the barrage of gunfire, four of them exploded in the blink of an eye.

Metal fragments bounced everywhere.

The fleet's formation was completely broken.

This immediately drew cheers from the defending troops.

Today, Director Wayne continues to use his exceptional abilities to ensure stability on the front lines!

Unmoved by the wrong path.

Another golden head bobbed.

As if a time-stop button had been pressed, all the debris that had been flying aimlessly was frozen in place.

Under the pull of the domain's power, those fragments suddenly coalesced into a giant sphere.

Snapped!

The ball hurtled directly towards Wayne in the distance.

Just as Wayne's punch was about to pierce through the ball, the ball exploded on its own.

Wayne felt almost no shockwave.

But the sudden burst of intense light made him involuntarily close his eyes.

Is this a sneak attack?

A whirlwind opened up, and Wayne waited for a few seconds, but no attack of any kind came.

After the bright light faded, he was shocked to find that all the ship's cannons around him had lost contact with the control room.

"Electromagnetic storm!"

Even more ingeniously, the treacherous path directly commanded the fleet to fly past Wayne.

fight?

terribly sorry.

I don't have time to slowly discuss things with you here right now.

The purpose of the detour is to open the coffin of miracles.

Instead of wasting time and effort killing Wayne here, we should wait until the Coffin of Miracles is opened and let what's sleeping inside teach Wayne a lesson.

"Lord Qilu is truly amazing!"

The fanatics on the spaceship immediately began to lavish praise upon it.

Look at that human over there, being played like a monkey by Lord Qilu.

Their demeanor remained unchanged despite the diverging paths.

These fanatics can only be used, not relied upon.

Behind him, Wayne, realizing he had been tricked, immediately ordered the control room to mobilize more forces to intercept the wrong path.

Under the harassment from various sides, the progress on the wrong path finally slowed down.

Wayne's strength should not be underestimated, and they are trapped in the maze, so shaking off Wayne completely will not be an easy task.

Especially after more than an hour, the Exiled Empire's reinforcements stationed near the Coral Nebula finally arrived.

"Don't get too caught up in the details. The goal is the Coffin of Miracles. Once we open the Coffin of Miracles, it won't matter how many people come from outside."

Camilla nodded.

It never intended to fight—even though it had already been questioned by the wrong path.

This command is exactly what it wants.

With a relaxed expression, Camilla's gaze fell upon the Crimson King.

It stared for a long time until the King of Crimson Lotus couldn't help but speak first.

"I wonder if Overlord Camilla has anything to say?"

Camilla stood on her hind legs, supporting her waist with her front paws, and paced back and forth in front of the massive Crimson Lotus King.

It suddenly asked, "I heard you and An Ran have a very good relationship?"

The King of Crimson Lotus hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, it was An Ran who saved my life."

"Then you should be very grateful to An Ran."

"?"

The Crimson King didn't quite understand why Camilla was saying this.

Was he testing his loyalty to the pioneers?

The King of Crimson Lotus had a headache.

It has lost some of its memories, so there are some things it's really hard to say.

"I am grateful, but what I feel more deeply is the desire to dedicate myself to achieving this great plan."

Camilla remained silent for a long time.

It seemed to smell a lie.

Could it be that the Crimson Lotus King is truly its ally?

"Building a good relationship with Enron would be very helpful in achieving our grand plan."

"Yes."

The Crimson King nodded in agreement with Camilla.

“Actually, I think we don’t need to go through all this trouble,” Camilla added.

What does that mean?

"I think that as long as we help An Ran find a way to return to the void dimension, we can naturally achieve our grand plan. This is much more secure than the current plan. What do you think?"

"This……"

The King of Crimson Lotus dared not reply.

It sensed a trap in Camilla's words.

No matter what it says, it seems there's always a pitfall waiting ahead.

Fortunately, at that moment a fanatic suddenly shouted, "Lady Camilla, something is wrong!"

Camilla left just like that.

The King of Crimson Lotus breathed a sigh of relief.

fortunately.

If the stalemate continues for a few more minutes, it might reveal its true intentions.

The Crimson King looked out the window at the approaching spaceship and sighed.

It has become quite sentimental lately.

Does such a vast chain of judgment truly have a place to exist?

It realized that it was different from its other companions.

Because it lacks a portion of its memory.

So the more it thought about it, the less it cared about that grand plan.

Millions of years have passed, why bother with such a thing?

Isn't it better to just live a good life?

Even if they did bring monsters from higher dimensions to this starry sky, they might not be able to defeat these humans.

The King of Crimson Lotus dared not reveal such thoughts.

That would be far too "unorthodox".

It may have been behaving too much lately, to the point that Camilla noticed something.

From now on, it must be extremely cautious.

……

For the past two days, An Ran has been listening to the battle reports sent by the War Court.

In the words of the War Court, it was hard to tell whether this was good news or bad news.

As reinforcements from various regions arrived one after another, nearly half of the invaders' ships had been sunk, resulting in over 100,000 casualties.

This is definitely a joyous occasion.

Even with reinforcements arriving, they were still unable to stop the invaders' advance.

The defense department is short-handed. No matter how powerful Wayne is, he can't withstand the simultaneous attack of six or seven star system rulers.

After World War I, Wayne had been holed up in the control room and wouldn't come out.

He was waiting for reinforcements to arrive so that they could encircle the invaders.

"What exactly is the Coffin of Miracles, and what's inside it?" Anran asked Camilla.

But Camilla didn't know much about it either.

“Qilu didn’t tell me, and I asked the other members, but none of them had any related memories.”

"..."

Camilla said, "As far as I know, the top three Forerunners are special compared to the other members."

Do you know who number 001 is?

"It seems they don't even know where the wrong path is."

"Such a thing is true?"
