Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Whether it's out of sheer impulsiveness or not, most people would probably have the urge to crawl through a hole in this kind of environment.

But Anran is different.

This doesn't mean she's naturally calm and can control the urge to rush in.

The information relayed back by the reconnaissance techniques was simply too hardcore.

[The Butt of the Time Insect]

When it comes to buttocks, Anran immediately thinks of the rectum.

Then I thought of something else...

“You don’t look too good,” Jill suddenly said.

An Ran offered a perfunctory explanation: "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"?"

Jill was a little confused.

(?? . ??)

If the Mechanical Overlord doesn't sleep for a night, will it result in a very poor mental state?

An Ran's body is too weak.

wrong.

Maybe she did something really dirty last night that made herself look like this!

Jill touched her chin.

She felt like she was a detective.

Logically sound, meticulous in thinking, exceptionally strong.

Anran did not pay attention to Jill's strange behavior.

Her attention was entirely focused on the NPC panel that the reconnaissance skill had returned.

Although this butt is only part of the Time Worm, it also has its own health bar.

The key point is that this health bar is also particularly thick.

With over 1600 million health points, An Ran felt inferior.

She has tried her best, but unfortunately, she is at a disadvantage due to her race and profession.

An Ran did not act rashly.

She ordered the psionic troops to continue their search, determined to find every part of the Time Worm's body.

Fortunately, the Time Corridor was not particularly large, and Anran achieved her goal in just two days.

The Chon's rear end, mouthparts, spine, right leg, and thorax and abdomen—that's all the Chon exposed in the gap between worlds.

It consists of five parts, totaling over 90 million health points.

If other parts are included, Anran estimates that the total life value of the Time Insect is over 200 million.

Amazing data.

The only thing that comforted An Ran was that the exposed parts of the Time Worm were not of a higher level than hers.

Even the chest and abdomen, which look the most majestic and imposing, are only level 224.

This means that even though the Time Worm has a very high level of life, it is not an invincible opponent.

Otherwise, Anran would have to go back and get reinforcements.

"You have triggered the hidden quest [Time Returns to Nothingness]. Do you wish to accept?"

The mission requires you to kill the Time Worms attached to the Time Corridor.

The mission reward is 5000 billion experience points and the item Time Cocoon.

Even without a mission, Anran would not let go of this Time Worm in order to find Tsykya.

Having a mission was a pleasant surprise.

Before taking any action, Anran sent Jill away.

Given Jill's physical strength, if she were to get involved in a battle between Sovereigns, she might be killed instantly by even the slightest glancing blow.

Back near the Time Corridor, An Ran didn't rush to make a move.

She first took out a mobile star and locked onto the Time Worm's rear end.

A monster's rear end is usually a weak point, making it easier to land critical hits.

The moving star mark began to gather power.

It's unclear whether the Time Worm has noticed anything amiss; at least, An Ran sees it as unmoved.

An X-shaped beam of energy shot out, streaking across the void, and slammed into the black hole.

Anran saw the ripples.

One lap after another.

Following closely behind were damage numbers that appeared continuously, like a light drizzle.

After a while.

The beam of light emitted by the moving starburst went straight into the black hole.

It didn't feel like I was doing it on my own initiative; rather, it felt like I was being sucked in.

No more.

There are no damage values ​​displayed.

An Ran was stunned for a moment.

Was it extinguished by water?

boom!

At this moment, the Time Worm, which had been motionless just moments before, began to tremble.

The black hole created a series of double images.

An Ran saw it clearly.

The time loops closest to the black hole underwent alterations due to the impact of the black hole.

Like a popped bubble.

pat-

It just exploded into pieces.

As the wave surged in, Anran was shocked to discover that she had a new negative buff.

[Delay]

This includes not only sluggish movements, but also longer skill cooldown periods and reduced health regeneration effects.

simply put.

An Ran entered the realm of slow motion.

She could almost see "+1" and "+1" marks floating above her head.

But this did not make Anran happy.

The delay indirectly weakened her strength.

It was fortunate that she was a mechanic; otherwise, fighting such a Time Worm would have meant being completely outmatched from the very first exchange.

An Ran opened the sealed chamber without hesitation.

With its enormous wings flapping, the Sky Lord, resembling a ferocious dragon, flew out, followed closely by the Kingslayer, whose main coating was dark metal.

With a set of Henchman's Armor on his back, the Kingslayer looked more like a "short" berserker.

Surrounded by countless psionic creations, the bodies of the two advanced psionic Servants were connected by deep purple "electric sparks".

That is one of the manifestations of the synergistic bonus effect brought about by psionic resonance.

Through this resonance, the two psionic servants can quickly exchange perceptions.

As the "backbone," Anran can also virtualize her consciousness and descend upon the psionic servants at any time.

"let's go!"

Anran issued the order to attack.

The probing is over. Even the basic attacks of the Moving Star Mark can pose a threat to the Time Worms, let alone when they are equipped with the enhanced psionic forces.

An Ran's only worry was that if the battle dragged on for too long, she would have to temporarily retreat and seek help from the people of the Exiled Empire.

The psionic forces sprang into action.

The Kingslayer charged toward the Time Worm's rear end like a fierce general charging into battle.

Following behind it was a vast army of machines.

The momentum was astonishing, as if it could easily flatten everything in its path.

At this moment, the Sky Lord and numerous assault fighters, in conjunction with the Celestial Laser, also launched an attack.

The energy surge arrived late but arrived early, instantly engulfing the Time Worm's rear end.

The massive damage numbers started to appear.

However, this damage was still insufficient against the Time Worm.

It moved.

Under Anran's attack, the feeding insect stopped sucking with its mouthparts.

The enormous forelimb emerged from nothingness, its hard shell reflecting the cold light of the explosion. Even from a great distance, one could easily see the barbs on the Time Worm's forelimbs without any equipment.

This is a fierce hunter!

Its primary target was the Kingslayer, who had already rushed up to its rear and was holding aloft the Instructor's Spear, which was flashing with deep purple flames.
