Poverty makes me capable of anything.

There was nothing urgent on the way back to camp, so we could use the materials collected from the Source Whale to create new armor for the Transcendent God Machine and the Psionic Servant.

When she returned safely to the camp, she was greeted by Christopher and a ruler from the Exiled Empire.

Upon seeing that An Ran was safe and sound, the two people breathed a sigh of relief.

You have to understand that An Ran went to see Vesta, and the two have a deep-seated conflict. If Vesta couldn't hold back and killed An Ran, then the problem would be huge.

The ruler of the exiled empire came to mediate.

But as soon as he arrived, he discovered that he couldn't contact Anran and Vesta.

Something must have happened.

The ruler of the exiled empire was very anxious.

Fortunately, after a while, Anran sent a message back.

"The War Court is already arranging an investigation, and there will be a meeting on this matter soon. I wonder if you, Lord Anran, have time to attend?" The Lord hurriedly explained, "Because you, Lord Anran, are involved, the meeting will likely proceed more smoothly if you are there."

"Where is Vesta?"

Anran asked.

The ruler of the exiled empire said, "It might be difficult to contact the virtual lord."

An Ran nodded: "I understand. Please send me the time and the link to the meeting room."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

"It's a small matter."

An Ran smiled.

She doesn't have time to chat with him right now; she has many plans to implement.

Watching An Ran's departing figure, the Star Domain Ruler of the Exiled Empire couldn't help but blink.

He said, "Don't you think An Ran is different from before?"

"what?"

Christopher was clearly taken aback when he was asked the question.

Considering that the other party was a powerful Star Domain Ruler, he humbly inquired, "Your Excellency, which aspect are you referring to specifically?"

The ruler stroked his chin: "Although she still looks like a young girl, she seems more radiant and eye-catching than when we last met."

"..."

Christopher paused for a moment.

But he quickly realized what was happening.

Pooh!

That old pervert!

You're just after Anran the Prophet's body, aren't you? Get the hell out of here.

If those strangers found out, they'd probably try every means to destroy you.

It's worth noting that some extreme "fans" wouldn't even accept Ella and Anran being together.

Not to mention you, a tough guy with almost no "fame".

"I'm probably overthinking it."

The ruler shook his head and left the Cult of Machines camp.

After saying goodbye to him, An Ran began to implement her own plan.

She appeared before the players with great confidence, and unsurprisingly, she was greeted with cheers.

[A triumphant return!]

The cheers became even louder after players learned that Vesta would provide an explanation.

After enjoying the players' adoration, Anran went to the camp's metal warehouse to prepare the materials needed to craft the Divine Revival Scepter.

After re-establishing cooperation with the Flora Noor Foundation, she no longer lacks rare metals.

By the time An Ran had collected all the materials, it was almost time for the meeting to begin.

She temporarily put aside her work and focused her attention on the virtual conference room.

As the "main force" in the fight against the sourceless whale, Anran naturally became the center of attention.

The meeting was still chaired by Nathaniel.

After getting started, he invited Anran to share her feelings.

“The vacuum whale comes out of that trench. If we really want to explore it, I suggest we test the waters with the stranger first.”

Nathaniel nodded.

As strangers, they're willing to do anything as long as the pay is good enough.

The meeting proceeded smoothly, but in the latter half, Anran became a mere spectator.

Although she was a first-level envoy of the War Court, because she was not a star field ruler directly trained by the Exiled Empire, her voice was even less powerful than some second-level envoys.

However, An Ran was indifferent to the matter.

She couldn't even be bothered with the Machine God Cult, let alone such a large exiled empire.

It will be exhausting.

Look at Nathaniel, he's clearly a top-tier star system ruler, but he has two bags under his eyes, like he hasn't woken up yet.

Shortly after the meeting, the Exiled Empire dispatched an exploration force mainly composed of players.

Anran also submitted an application.

She hadn't planned to go at first, but since this expedition included a "throwing players" job, she figured she might as well go.

An Ran was very envious.

Throwing players into the chasm offers only a theoretical chance of survival—they're almost guaranteed to die.

You get one point for every player you throw at, which is perfect for farming the "Most Evil Person" title!

With the Exiled Empire as a safety net, Anran can confidently and boldly "slaughter" players without worrying about being criticized.

Moreover, this time the attacks targeted players from other factions, causing no harm to the players of the Mechanicus faction; in fact, it indirectly strengthened them.

Feeling at ease and at peace with myself!

Considering that Enron had been near the Abyss, Nathaniel finally agreed.

"It's rare to see someone so enthusiastic!"

He said with emotion.

An Ran said with a smile, "Having been a member of the War Court for so long, I should make more contributions to highlight my importance."

Nathaniel was deeply gratified.

That's right.

This is what I want!

He hopes Anran will become a candidate for the next arbitrator, so Anran will have to do more to win the approval of those old fogies.

A day later, Anran once again embarked on the road to the chasm.

She met up with the Exiled Empire's fleet halfway there. After exchanging greetings, An Ran began studying the new blueprints that had just been synthesized from [Transcendent Divine Machine] and [Empty Whale Heart].

New blueprint: [Super Limit Divine Machine - Modified].

The name hasn't changed much, but the internal structure has undergone a major transformation.

The interior of the Limitless Divine Machine incorporates a whale-like heart structure, which gives it new abilities similar to the black mist surrounding the body of a passive whale.

First, the new shield—

The barrier to extinction.

It can dissolve energy that comes into contact with the shield.

Of course, there is a limit to what can be tolerated.

Secondly, there are new weapons—

Zeroing beam.

If the Extinction Barrier is like standing at attention and taking a beating, then the Zeroing Beam is like taking the initiative and professionally eliminating energy!

"This is good stuff."

Anran sighed with emotion.

With the newly crafted armor, the power of the Limitless Divine Machine increased several times over!

Meanwhile, the fleet of the exiled empire finally arrived near the chasm.

After a brief investigation, the first group of players who had volunteered were safely taken away.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to keep you from feeling any pain," An Ran said.

The players were moved: "No, not at all, Anran, you can use as much force as you want!"

These days, the self-cultivation of leeks (a metaphor for easily exploited investors) is truly amazing!

An Ran threw it at hundreds of players.

They transformed into fiery meteors, plunging into the chasm at incredible speeds without creating a single ripple.

……

"Lady Lumina, won't this affect our plans?"

In the Land of Beginnings, the Overlord, having received the message, looked at Lumina with slight nervousness.

Lumina shook her head and sneered, "Impact? What impact could it have? That trench extends infinitely to both sides. If they can find the Gate of Ending by messing around like this, I might as well just kill myself!"

Yes, that's true.

The star field ruler who asked the question gave an awkward laugh.
