Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Don't think you can humiliate me just because you can beat me.

I and my last shred of pride must not be trampled upon!

But An Ran ignored her and continued shaking her head.

Really.

No wonder the challenge mission wasn't triggered; Melville's level is the same as hers, level 213.

As a result, she got far less from Melville than others, at most only a ransom from the Unbeliever Legion—even if that ransom wasn't cheap.

But Anran never thinks she has too much.

He left the five men there and began to calmly take stock of the gains from the war.

The defensive mission is not yet fully completed; the current progress is 36%, and Anran still needs to work harder.

However, the rewards for the four Challenge Dominator missions are already quite generous.

A total of 1380 billion free experience points, a large amount of reputation, two skill cards (【Light Wheel Cut】from Keynes and 【Will Burn】from Carlos), and a special item 【Mental Encirclement】.

【Light Wheel Slash】 allows Anran to throw ten frisbees outwards at the same time, just like Keynes, creating a three-minute-long slashing hell that deals considerable damage.

As a burst skill of the BOSS, Burning Will will prevent you from leveling up for a month after use, and the experience required to level up to the next level will be doubled. However, the effect is quite obvious, as it can instantly increase strength by 20% and agility by 15%.

As for the last item, [Mental Enclosure], it creates a mental wall that lasts for 5 minutes and reduces damage from mental attacks by 30%.

They are all very good items.

In addition, Anran also gained 603 billion Free Experience Points when annihilating the fleet sent by the Unbeliever Legion, which can be said to be a huge profit.

However, the real bulk of the expense is the ransom.

An Ran has recently created a lot of new things, which has put a strain on the finances of the Cult of the Machine God. She was worried about where to get money.

"They're practically a godsend who've delivered themselves to our doorstep."

Anran closed the game panel with satisfaction.

She turned around and found those guys talking loudly.

Sawyer said, “Don’t worry, she wouldn’t dare kill us. She’s very shrewd; she knows that if she kills us, she will become the target of everyone’s hatred.”

Keynes nodded.

He thought so too, otherwise An Ran wouldn't have bothered to arrest and imprison them.

Melville curled his lip.

That sounds nice.

If the Allied Forces inflict significant damage on the Exiled Empire, the Exiled Empire might take its anger out on them.

At that time, death is inevitable.

harm.

Melville was in great distress.

What a crappy Eternal Star Road! She thought these two guys were pretty powerful, after all, they were so good at bragging before. Who knew that after this fight, they weren't much stronger than Carlos and Ghana?

What's the difference between holding out for ten minutes and holding out for twenty minutes? In the end, you still get caught.

Melville was cursing under his breath when he saw An Ran walking over.

A devilish smile played on her lips: "That's right, I won't kill you. But don't be too happy yet. If the Eternal Star Road and the Unbeliever Legion want you back, they'll have to pay me a sum that satisfies me. Do you think they'll be happy or angry if they have to pay such a high price to get you back?"

Keynes and the others frowned.

But Sawyer was different; he had nothing to fear!

Anyway, I've already lost all face.

Debt is no burden, and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

If you're so capable, come up here and chop me up!

Ah, women.

For this kind of person, An Ran simply gave them the middle finger.

Once we've squeezed all the value out of you, there will be a day when we send you to meet the Lord of the Night.

……

Rumors began to circulate on the forum.

At first, everyone was discussing the possibility that Anran had died, but after the carbonated beverage company released photos, the discussion shifted.

[This works?]

Just how strong is An Ran?

[As expected of Suo Paopao, he actually escaped again. I'm impressed!]

I've decided to enshrine Sawyer so that no one can catch me anymore.

【Sure, I'll steal a spaceship to support you】

But just as everyone was discussing the matter intensely, the carbonated beverage, having learned the truth, suddenly reappeared.

Carbonated drinks: [Sorry, sorry, I just spread a false rumor.]

【Huh? Are you kidding me?】

[Has Anran collapsed?]

Carbonated Drink: [No, no, no, Anran is fine. I meant Sawyer. I thought he had escaped again, but I was wrong. Sawyer was captured by Anran. Attached image—]

The popular discussion thread froze for a moment.

Players who were typing or preparing to send voice messages all stopped.

What?

They even doubted that they were seeing things.

incredible!

Sawyer, once jokingly referred to as a legend in the world of running away, has also had his day of failure.

Immediately following, a uniform string of "grass" appeared under the comment about carbonated drinks.

[So ran away and fell! (crying voice)]

No, it's all fake, it's all fake!

【I don't believe it! Haha, it's fake! I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy!】

[There is no doubt that this photo is a composite (I'm certain)]

[Divinity Collapses!]

I no longer believe in love.

[The running game master has finished teaching.]

No, Sawyer doesn't deserve to be called "Sawyer the Runner," I unilaterally declare that he is stripped of that title.

The Church urgently needs a new pope.

Which cutie will be crowned the new Pope of the KartRider Cult?

The discussion thread instantly became the top trending topic on the forum, and even players of the Eternal Star Road faction who were focused on fighting the fleet led by Heda received the news.

What the heck? Sawyer's been arrested?!

Didn't he and Keynes go to support the Unbeliever Legion?

[I heard it was Enron who did it]

The news then reached the ears of the star field rulers of the Eternal Star Road.

"The entire army was wiped out, and even the soldiers were captured?"

The guy with the buzz cut was dumbfounded.

Although he had been secretly mocking Sawyer, it was all just talk.

In reality, Sawyer's strength was only slightly weaker than his.

Not to mention that an even stronger Keynes accompanied him through it all.

"Are you kidding me!"

A buzz cut is a sign of mental confusion.

Is Anran really that powerful?

What makes Hedda the commander-in-chief of the fleet?

"Don't worry."

At this moment, another Overlord beside him calmed down the one with the buzz cut.

"We can't be sure how true this information is. We can't rule out the possibility that it's a smokescreen deliberately released by the other side. Even if it is true, it's not a big deal. We also have our trump cards to deal with Kozmo and the possible appearance of the Star River Miracle Projection."

Also.

The buzz cut-haired master nodded.

They made ample preparations this time.

Even before they used their trump card, Heda and the others were already under immense pressure.

If we delay any longer, those two Star Domain Rulers of the Pantheon might just rebel.

If we surround them from both sides, we can definitely take down Heda and the others in a very short time.

"I'll go out and meet them for a while too."

Thinking of this, the buzz-cut leader revealed a cruel smile.

He abandoned his smug enjoyment of watching the cat play with the mouse and decided not to give those little bitches in the exiled empire any chance.

Buzz cut, take off!

At this moment, only one Star Domain Overlord remained in the command ship, calmly watching the images projected on the virtual screen.
