Poverty makes me capable of anything.

He skillfully concealed the surprise in his eyes, especially after seeing the corpse behind An Ran.

After exiting the Type II evolutionary state, Leander reverted to its original form.

Vesta said, "I'll send you what you want, what about your digital life?"

An Ran quickly took out her digital disk.

"Try to help me raise the power of all these digital beings to the level of the Supreme Judge."

Vesta immersed his virtual consciousness directly into Anran's digital disk.

He reappeared a moment later.

"You're really greedy."

"Can't it be done?"

An Ran was taken aback.

If even Vista can't do it, then she can't think of anyone else who can.

Does this mean we have no choice but to go find Lumina?

That would be like walking into a trap.

“When did I say no?” Vesta raised an eyebrow.

"That's good."

An Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, she no longer had any intention of criticizing Vesta.

After ten minutes of continuous reinforcement, Anran finally got what she wanted.

In the technologically advanced country, the "outer god" Vesta performed miracles.

This is hailed as the era of technological advancement for a nation!

Every member of the Theocracy has made a leap forward in strength, especially the Supreme Judge Lan. Even without An Ran's assistance, he can now glimpse a corner outside the "Digital Universe".

"Pleasant to work with."

Anran said.

Vesta shook his head: "It's just a simple transaction. I hope you won't try anything underhanded."

"No way!"

Vesta said coldly, "I'll be sending a new virtual servant over in a few days. Get ready."

"Row."

After cutting off contact with Vesta, An Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

All she had to do next was wait.

However, just as An Ran was hiding her main body in the Forerunner Ruins to complete her evolution, she suddenly discovered an unstable factor.

"Lumina!"

In the stands, An Ran spotted a purple-haired guy who looked quite familiar.

"What's this guy doing here?"

An Ran was startled.

Does this mean she's been exposed?

An Ran sensed just how terrifying the power of a peak star field ruler truly was from Vesta's virtual attendant.

If Lumina really decides to attack her, then she'll have no choice but to lie there and wait to die.

The only thing that An Ran was grateful for was that her true form was no longer in the Divine Court, nor were the people she cherished.

As for Ibn and Christopher, etc...

"You all need to hurry up and get out of here."

"what?"

Christopher, who was working hard, and Eben, who was slacking off at work, both looked at Anran with undisguised surprise in their eyes.

Just as they were hesitating, Anran noticed that Lumina's gaze had shifted towards them.

There was no anger or resentment as I had imagined.

Some of them, however, were merely playful smiles.

"?"

What are you doing?

An Ran was stunned.

She didn't quite understand what Lumina meant, but she was still panicked.

An Ran was still bewildered until Lumina's expression changed slightly and she suddenly got up and left.

Shouldn't we take action against her?

Should she report it to the Exiled Empire?

Just as Anran was lost in thought, Lumina received a message from the place where the silver moonlight originated—

Leander's soul flame went out.

She had no desire to reminisce with An Ran here; she needed to rush over to check on the situation.

Lumina then left.

After waiting for a long time, Eben and Christopher finally couldn't help but ask, "Should we run or not?"

"Not needed for now."

Anran replied.

Just having fun.

But it doesn't matter anyway, Anran's thought process is different from that of normal people.

They were already used to it.

Three days later, the virtual attendants sent by Vesta arrived at Dawn Camp through an interdimensional portal.

The scapegoat has arrived!

Upon receiving the message, An Ran excitedly went to greet them.

Chapter 32 The Scapegoat

The meeting took place on a very ordinary planet within the Dawn Camp.

Anran had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

The battle with Leander destroyed most of her mechanical forces, and now she's just waiting for Vesta to come to her aid.

Everything you need is here.

The virtual attendant raised his right hand, and in his palm appeared a miniature warehouse condensed from another dimension, radiating a captivating golden glow.

This is the material he compiled based on the list sent by Anran.

It's not much for Versta.

In addition, Vesta was in a hurry to negotiate with the Eternal Star Road, so he did not investigate whether An Ran had made any false reports.

"I need to check it."

"as you like."

The virtual attendant waved his right hand.

That miniature warehouse thus drifted into An Ran's hands.

An Ran didn't care about Vesta's gaze. She carefully checked everything and, after confirming that Vesta hadn't done anything underhanded, transferred all the materials to her subspace storage.

"White Hair's body is inside, take a look."

An Ran smiled and sent the miniature warehouse back.

The virtual attendant deftly caught the miniature warehouse, glanced at it, and nodded in satisfaction: "How about we make another deal?"

"What deal?"

“Tell me the secrets of the Ether Mechanic, and I can protect the growth of your Mechanicus. You can also become my student if you wish.”

"..."

An Ran coughed lightly and said:

"The secrets of the Ether Mechanic are right there. If you want to learn, just ask any outsider from the Cult of Mechanism."

Vesta shook his head: "But none of them are star system rulers."

Becoming a Star Domain Overlord is a threshold.

The real gap often widens here.

When Vesta was just a Starslayer-level mechanic, he was unknown in the Star Tree Starfield and hardly anyone paid attention to him.

However, upon crossing that threshold, he activated his special talent, and from then on, Vesta's advantages as a mechanic became apparent.

Over the years, he has beaten up at least several hundred Star Domain Rulers.

Many people perish early, but he lived a long time. After all, he was a mechanic, so he could just stay in the back during fights.

He had never met someone like An Ran before.

Did Enron control the machines, or did the machines control Enron?

Who can say for sure?

"If that's what you're saying, then there's nothing I can do. You can verify it yourself." An Ran tactically spread her hands.

"If you don't want to, then forget it."
