Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Verstas faced the challenge head-on.

"of course."

An Ran remained calm.

The machine soul consciousness has not yet been fully integrated; only when it is near the Divine Court can the Divine Revival Scepter exert its full effect.

An Ran dared not give up even the slightest bit of benefit.

Keep in mind that Vesta is only one step away from level 240.

"very good."

Orange-red lightning gradually emerged from Vesta's body.

An invisible wind swept up, forcing Boschlia, who was standing beside him, to temporarily retreat. Those onlookers who were closer were also shaken by the tingling sensation and retreated one after another.

"Is this a warning from Vesta?"

"I don't want to get involved."

Unmoved.

Vesta is impressive, but these little tricks won't affect her.

"Aren't you going to call your clone over here?"

An Ran said calmly, "She's already on her way."

Vesta nodded slightly.

"I gave you too much freedom, which led to this situation. It's time for you to see the difference between us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive amount of domain power surged out from Vesta's body.

Lightning bolts danced wildly in the starry sky, creating an astonishing spectacle.

At Vesta's summons, two enormous interdimensional portals suddenly appeared in the peaceful starry sky.

Countless machines surged out from the dazzling portal.

Upon entering Vesta's mechanical domain, the machines went into a frenzy.

"So many bonuses!"

An Ran's pupils contracted slightly.

As expected of Versta, but hers is just as good!

"You two guard the Divine Court and don't let it explode."

An Ran explained the situation to Ella and the panda standing behind her.

The two little ones nodded and left.

The main body had already arrived at the basement of the Divine Court. In that instant, An Ran simultaneously activated multiple skills, including [Life Sacrifice], [Guardian Ship], and [Fear Nova].

All attributes and resistances increased significantly, and the clone's intelligence attribute also jumped to 6964 points, which is not far from the attribute of the original body.

Although far inferior to Vista, with the added bonus of his domain, he has at least reached the edge of a top-tier star domain ruler, and he is not entirely powerless to fight back against Vista.

Vesta's normal intelligence attribute is 7967 points. He is only 3 levels higher than Anran, but his intelligence is 800 points higher than Anran's original body. These advantages are due to his longer lifespan.

In other words, Vesta is the master of the virtual impact direction, and his frontal killing power is slightly weaker. If he were a psionic master like An Ran, An Ran would have to unleash his full power from the start, otherwise he probably wouldn't last even a minute.

The good news is that Vesta hasn't figured out yet which one is her clone and which one is her original self.

This is the biggest trump card that allowed Anran to win!

She has to stall for time and wait for Vesta to make a mistake.

The instantaneous increase in attributes caused the etheric power surrounding An Ran's body to seem to fall into a whirlpool.

The purple light radiated outwards, causing a series of explosions within a small area.

The divine scepter of resurrection floated above An Ran's head, with countless points of light flowing around the gem embedded at its very tip, making it look mysterious and unpredictable.

The special effects were so elaborate that Vista looked at An Ran with newfound respect.

"He's not badly capable."

Boschlia, who was standing nearby, felt a chill run down her spine.

"How is this going?"

The expressions of the onlookers weren't much better.

An Ran's aura grew too fast.

The momentum that burst forth momentarily overshadowed Versta—although it quickly faded away.

Especially after An Ran secretly used the [Mental Ascension Boost Card] that could increase mental attributes by 30% for 5 minutes, Boschlia vaguely had the illusion that An Ran was actually a Grand Magister.

After all, that's 5169 points of spirit, equivalent to a level 220 magic master.

After this series of actions, no one doubted that An Ran was not a top-tier star domain ruler.

but……

"Didn't they just force their way up by burning their combustion potential?"

The captain of the guard looked at Nathaniel in astonishment.

This is not good.

Even if they defeat Vesta this time, won't their future still be affected?

It's still the fault of public opinion.

The captain of the guard looked over, and Nathaniel's expression was indeed rather unpleasant.

If Anran were to advance from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! to the top-tier Star Domain Ruler, such a sudden surge would greatly reduce the likelihood of that happening!

Nathaniel could no longer sit still.

He wanted to stop An Ran immediately, but then stopped.

The fire is already burning; going over there now would just be asking for trouble.

He also received a message from the Grand Administrator of the Eternal Star Path.

"You're not trying to take sides at this time, are you?"

"That's not true."

Nathaniel vehemently denied it.

"Then just watch with peace of mind." The Grand Chancellor was in a very comfortable mood.

Well done, Versta!

He even wanted to cheer for Versta.

Nathaniel was heartbroken to have such a promising talent destroyed.

“Looking ahead, there might not be much damage,” the Grand Consul offered, feigning reassurance to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel remained silent.

He couldn't be bothered with the Polytechnic University's Chief Executive.

At this moment, Vesta had already maneuvered his mechanical forces to rush towards An Ran.

At the boundary between the purple domain and the orange-red electric light, two massive mechanical forces clashed fiercely, with crisscrossing beams of light relentlessly bombarding the outer perimeter of the domain, like two giants vying for supremacy in the starry sky.

The surging energy startled the surrounding onlookers, who kept backing away.

This is no place for a human to live!

They could also see that Vesta had the upper hand from the very beginning, although the advantage was not significant.

"Humph!"

Vesta snorted coldly.

Five more ferocious virtual hunters emerged from the interdimensional portal, but were intercepted halfway by Anran's Kingslayer and a group of lesser psionic servants.

The two sides played Euler thousands of times in a very short period of time.

It was bursting with energy, looking like the end of the world.

The Kingslayer was clad in a protective layer made of Whale-like material. Although his strength was inferior to that of Vista's Virtual Hunter, he showed no signs of defeat for the time being.

Versta remained quite restrained.

If he were to launch a full-scale attack without regard for the consequences, the entire Dawn Camp wouldn't be able to withstand it for long.

But he dared not do such a thing; that would be a serious provocation against the exiled empire.

"I'll see how long you can hold out!"

Vesta looked down at Anran.

His eyes were full of arrogance.

He had witnessed the battle between Anran and Leander and estimated that Anran's outburst would last for at most half an hour.

As long as he can stall for half an hour, An Ran will be nothing in his eyes, unless she has even deeper trump cards up her sleeve!

The process doesn't matter if it drags on; what matters is that An Ran will be beaten so badly that she'll lose all her prestige and be unable to hold her head up high.

"Stretched?" An Ran chuckled. "It's not just about stretching."

That's what she said, but Anran wasn't in a hurry at all.

The psionic Servants, wielding their Guardian Armor, stood before Anran. Guided by psionic resonance, the purple electric net was magnificent, and the psionic Servants were an indestructible guard.

Faced with the attack of Vesta's mechanical forces, countless lances of the Instructor transformed into a sky full of phantoms, shattering the invading energy beams.

bang bang bang --

The psionic shield rocked back and forth like a sailboat adrift on the waves, but it just wouldn't break.

With the Sky Lords and the Gravity Nexus working together in the distance, Anran seems to be in a pretty good position for now.

"Aren't you going to let your transcendent divine machine make a move?"

Vesta laughed as he spoke.
