Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Anran asked.

She looked at the game map.

The map also shows a black trench, with a question mark as its name and a question mark as its suggested level.

Do we have to go inside?

An Ran, who values ​​her life, dared not do so and could only seek Vesta's opinion.

“That’s another matter. Let’s deal with that sourceless whale first,” Vesta said in a deep voice.

An Ran nodded.

If the sky falls, there are tall people there to hold it up; she really doesn't need to worry right now.

The whale they were chasing had stopped; it was covered in wounds and had lost nearly half its health.

This time it's not planning to run away.

Her big eyes were full of confidence.

It certainly has the right to be arrogant.

A moment later, four primordial whales suddenly emerged from the void chasm.

An Ran had absolutely no idea how they came out.

None of this matters.

The important thing is that Anran couldn't defeat any of these four whales, and the lowest level among them was level 235.

The good news is that the mission "Black Mist Incident II" was completed safely, and the mission reward was 2000 billion experience points and the item "Empty Whale Heart".

An Ran was still far from reaching level 233, so she focused on scanning the newly acquired items.

The game rates the "Empty Whale Heart" as world-class, a very high rating, and it can be used to enhance blueprints.

An Ran directly combined it with the blueprints of the Limitless Divine Machine.

The progress bar shows 40 hours; now we can only wait patiently.

"what are you doing?"

At that moment, Vesta's voice rang in An Ran's ears.

He was a little angry.

While he was already fighting those sourceless whales, An Ran was still standing there in a daze.

Oh.

With Vesta's strength, dealing with five sourceless whales at the same time wouldn't be particularly difficult. He just couldn't stand An Ran watching the show from the sidelines.

If you're going to come, don't come at all. If you come and just stand on the edge, who can stand that?

"Don't rush. My strength is far inferior. How can I possibly inflict serious damage on those sourceless whales without making some preparations?"

Anran calmly closed the game panel.

She glanced at the battlefield.

Vesta commanded a massive mechanical army, which, resembling a swarm of bees, separated the five Sourceless Whales. The sourceless whales possessed extremely strong black mist protection, but it proved ineffective against Vesta's mechanical army's relentless onslaught.

Huge blades swept across the starry sky, leaving deep, fiery red wounds on the body of the Sourceless Whale after breaking through the black mist.

"Since we can't move..."

Anran wants to increase her damage contribution.

Faced with these trapped, sourceless whales, annihilation attacks using dimensional binding are more effective than spacetime fall and hyperdimensional particles.

With this in mind, An Ran immediately took action.

She summoned the dimensional constraints.

The bright yellow light stood out against the black background.

Not to mention the dreamlike scenes woven from the zigzag lines that illuminate when the dimensional binding is activated.

Vesta, who was wielding a blood-red blade to kill fish, couldn't help but stop.

He deftly dodged the bite of the sourceless whale and his gaze fell on An Ran.

"This is not a psionic machine."

Vesta frowned.

After several encounters, he had long suspected that An Ran was not just a mechanic specializing in psionic dominance, and seeing the dimensional constraints only confirmed this.

After a long period of charging up, Vesta was surprised to find that the surrounding space was fluctuating.

Space, like a dumpling wrapper, enveloped him from all sides, trapping his machinery and the Boundless Whale, ultimately forming a small world.

An Ran reminded him, "Get your mechanical forces out of the entanglement of the Sourceless Whale and retreat quickly, otherwise don't blame me if they are all annihilated."

She did want to wipe out Vesta's mechanical forces as well.

This wave of experience rewards will definitely be substantial.

But Anran was afraid of angering Vesta, to the point that he might simply quit, which would be a case of penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Vesta nodded.

He wanted to see what An Ran was up to.

Under his control, the mechanical forces in the small world launched a powerful attack that stunned the sourceless whale. Then, they gradually increased the distance between them. After several back-and-forth maneuvers, the mechanical forces that were charging forward suddenly turned around and ran away.

The sourceless whale, which was mobilizing black mist to protect itself, was clearly stunned.

Seeing that Vesta's mechanical forces were about to escape from the exit of the small world, Anran gave the Plane Binding the order to annihilate.

The bright yellow light from the plane's bindings shone into the small world.

That isolated space began to shake violently, cracks appeared one after another in the space, and the whole world was being compressed inward.

Sensing something was wrong, the sourceless whale struggled to escape, but the spatial rifts that appeared from time to time completely disoriented it.

at last.

As the outer edge of the entire small world was illuminated by bright yellow light, the small world shrank inward like a heart.

Boom—

A silent explosion swept across the starry sky.

Vesta's mechanical forces were still somewhat affected. A small number of the nearby machines plunged headfirst into the suddenly appearing hole next to them, rolled up like folded paper balls, and disappeared in the blink of an eye without even making a splash.

Vesta gave An Ran a deep look.

This thing has very many limitations, but its damage is so high that it can annihilate a sourceless whale, which is truly terrifying.

At this moment, An Ran's voice interrupted his reverie.

"He's not dead yet!"

"What did you say?"

"That whale isn't dead yet!"

An Ran stared intently at the empty space.

The game did not provide any kill notifications, and her mission was not completed.

She checked the accumulated damage; the Sourceless Whale still had at least a quarter of its health remaining.

The question is, where can it hide?

Anran's question was quickly answered!

A gigantic figure suddenly emerged from the void created after the small world was annihilated.

Those slightly tired eyes were all too familiar.

"It actually managed to escape from here!"

An Ran was taken aback.

If she remembered correctly, the void created after the small world was annihilated could briefly connect to the endless void dimensions.

That is the origin of all things.

If the Whale of No Source could escape from there, wouldn't that mean it's related to the endless void dimension?

If we could capture one alive...

An Ran's mind immediately became active.

But Vesta didn't think that far ahead.

The fact that the sourceless whale survived made him realize that he had overestimated An Ran.

"Looks like I was overthinking it."

Vesta chuckled.

With his strength, why should he be afraid of An Ran?

He's so stupid, really.

Vesta slightly raised his right hand, and the machines that had been watching from the sidelines swarmed forward. Faced with the storm of attacks, the Source Whale was dismembered into more than a dozen pieces in no time.

"Heaven has fallen forever!"

A colossal city of light descended from the sky.

Without the protection of the black mist, the Sourceless Whale was powerless to resist. The moment the City of Light touched its body, the Sourceless Whale began to explode continuously.

Swish swish swish—

That's a weight that life cannot bear!

In just a few seconds, the body of the Sourceless Whale was completely covered by the City of Light.

Vesta flicked his index finger, and a small cube-shaped box flew out of the City of Light and landed in his hand.

A rare smile appeared on his face.

I finally got my hands on the black mist that can eliminate energy!
