Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"It's okay, don't feel too much pressure."

"..."

Actually, I don't feel any psychological burden.

After thinking it through, he suddenly realized that being able to openly slack off was actually a pretty cool thing!

An Ran focused her attention on the black fog.

The first task in the Black Fog event has two requirements.

The true cause of the incident has now been investigated and clarified. The mission can be completed as long as we can see the monster's true appearance.

Nathaniel was the first to attack.

He was the strongest among everyone present, and since he had only sent a projection, it was most appropriate for him to lead the charge.

Streamer of light.

In an instant, several other star field rulers also rushed forward.

An Ran took a deep breath; she did not deploy her mechanized forces.

Since the energy attack was ineffective, her psionic forces were weakened by more than half, but Nathaniel's probing attack also gave her some ideas.

An Ran's hand conjured a weapon of superdimensional particles and time-space fall.

Spatial tearing and dimensional collapse can still damage that monster.

Facing Nathaniel's onslaught like a tidal wave of fire, the monster in the black mist did not back down.

Black mist surged, and all was silent.

It's like a giant net that's about to bind Nathaniel completely.

"Humph!"

Nathaniel snorted angrily.

This monster is indeed very strange, but in terms of strength, it is far inferior to him.

In other words, what he is here is just a projection; otherwise, there would be no need for anyone else to take action.

Nathaniel struck the mind, each hand holding a long "energy ribbon".

Since the spatial collapse caused by the flying halberd can damage the monsters in the black mist, let's increase the intensity!

Snapped--

With a wave of his hands, the two ribbons, one black and one white, collided violently together in an instant.

A chasm stretched endlessly forward before Nathaniel.

The chasm headed straight for the monster hidden in the black mist.

The huge commotion finally made the monster open its eyes again, and black beams of light shot out from its eyes.

As the beam of light moved forward, the black mist continued to spread, and the area it covered doubled in the blink of an eye.

boom!

at last.

The black beam of light collided with the chasm that Nathaniel had unleashed.

An explosion occurred suddenly.

The shockwave acted like a giant round shield, separating Nathaniel from the monster with overwhelming force.

Nathaniel did not stop.

He charged straight through the black passage in the center of the circular shield. The space there was completely shattered, almost reaching the gap between worlds, and he perfectly pushed away the black mist.

Seeing this, An Ran did not act rashly; she was looking for loopholes.

After breaking through the round shield, Nathaniel's momentum did not diminish. He once again hurled two completely opposite energy beams at the monster.

Amid the violent explosion, the monster in the black mist sensed a threat. It was too late to dodge, so it quickly mobilized the surrounding black mist to protect itself.

The spatial chasm created by the explosion slashed down at the monster like a giant sword.

The next second, the energy shield generated by the first explosion suddenly collapsed.

An Ran's eyes lit up immediately.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

The fog on the left side was noticeably thinner than before, so An Ran quickly threw the time-space drop bomb out of her hand.

[Lock complete]

Drop drop-

A faint red light flickered.

The time-space drop bomb, like a rapidly advancing arrow, darted into the black mist with a whoosh.

"You all be careful!"

An Ran quickly reminded the other star field rulers.

"clear."

They nodded and went around it, launching a series of attacks on the right side of the black mist. Under the continuous barrage of slashes, the monster could not choose to ignore them.

Nathaniel's attack was effective, and he immediately fled.

As the black mist slowly enveloped him, he had already retreated far away. The monster could only angrily fire a few shots at Nathaniel, but the beams of light fell into the gap between worlds before they even touched Nathaniel.

Just then, the time-space fall that An Ran threw out finally hit its target.

Its outer shell was slightly damaged, and its power was somewhat weaker than normal, but the spatial collapse caused by the explosion still instantly pulled the black mist and the monsters inside into the Cutting Hell.

blah-

The monster's body writhed and rolled under the tearing of the cracks.

"-24560", "-19672"...

Dozens of damage numbers appeared in succession, causing the monster's health to drop significantly.

Anran felt a surge of joy.

Every act of harm can also be a contribution.

Once this monster dies, she will get a lot of experience points.

"I'll pull it out!"

A telekinetic master shouted.

He focused his mind and was enveloped in a dazzling white light.

The psychic power surged forward like a surging tide, and the black mist automatically rushed up to protect its master, but under Nathaniel's interference, the black mist was unable to form a cohesive mass.

In this way, after a dozen seconds of entanglement, the telekinetic energy bound the monster tightly like a rope.

"Ahhh-"

The telekinetic practitioner's face was flushed red as he struggled against the enormous monster.

The monster had to resist the pull of psychic forces while avoiding the damage caused by the collapse of space. It tried to do both, but ended up pleasing neither side.

Its body gradually emerged, and the black mist surged like ocean waves.

Anran timely pulled out the Sidney Gravity Hub.

Any creature that grows in this main space cannot escape the bondage of gravity.

An Ran placed five gravity anomalies in front of the monster, like setting up a game of Connect Four.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the monster was pulled out of the black mist as soon as it lost its balance.

Snapped!

It was held horizontally at the edge of five gravitational anomalies, like a fish being pressed onto a chopping board.

This monster does indeed look a lot like a fish—a whale.

However, its head is not that pointed, so its eyes are still located in the front, not on the sides.

"it is good!"

Nathaniel was overjoyed.

He understood.

The monster itself cannot annihilate energy; what's truly amazing is the black mist surrounding its body.

Without the protection of the black mist, the monster's strength was reduced by more than half.

Nathaniel spread his arms, and hundreds of short halberds of the same size appeared in front of him, forming a circle that looked like a small pool filled with electricity from a distance.

Those hundreds of short halberds flew out like that.

Its glory is magnificent.

It concealed everything around it.

In the dazzling light, An Ran was happily reviewing her tasks.

Mission [Black Mist Incident - Part 1] completed, rewarded with 50 billion Free Experience Points.

A new quest, "Black Mist Incident - Part Two," has been triggered.

The mission requires you to kill the unknown life form and find the origin of the unknown creature.

The mission reward is 2000 billion experience points and the item "Empty Whale Heart".

The mission was accepted without a doubt.

An Ran closed the task panel and was preparing to throw the remaining hyperdimensional particles at the target to deal some damage.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Somewhere in the starry sky, a surging torrent suddenly appeared in the darkness, distorting all the light in Luo Yu and blurring the starry sky behind him. This was the effect of spatial tremors.

Unexpected.
