Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Adding her wouldn't make much difference.

Unless there is a huge upgrade from level 239 to level 240, An Ran doesn't think she can change the course of the battle.

What's more, she still needs over 1000 billion experience points to level up.

Galé is a good target, but Lumina won't just stand by and watch her take Galé down.

“What should we do?” Anran asked Nathaniel.

She's already prepared to run away.

If the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about no firewood.

At worst, she could run away to the void to take refuge; given her status, she wouldn't end up in a really bad situation.

Nathaniel said, "Do your best."

Yes.

Besides doing everything they could, running away was the only option left.

Enveloped in white holy light, Lumina spoke: "Although I don't know how you escaped from me last time, I won't give you another chance this time."

This isn't something you can just refuse to give out.

An Ran pursed her lips.

She had already planned to project directly onto the vicinity of the space passage.

Oh……

A contemptuous laugh suddenly entered everyone's minds.

"If you leave now, the next time we meet will probably be near the Divine Court of the Cult of Machines."

"..."

This is a blatant threat!

Okay, you win.

An Ran said, "You win."

Cruel?

Lumina doesn't think she's ruthless.

After merging with the "divinity" leaked from the Gate of Ending, she was only separated from the Sea of ​​Origin by a "barrier" that could be easily broken.

That's the Sea of ​​Origin!

It exists in stories, it exists in rumors, it exists in theories.

But today, it exists in Lumina's reality for the first time.

This is the truth that Lumina has always sought, a truth far more inspiring than she imagined.

But the moment she merged with "divinity," Lumina knew that in order to avoid being assimilated after touching the Sea of ​​Origin, in addition to merging with divinity, she also had to abandon all "personal feelings."

Rules are not swayed by emotions.

In the Sea of ​​Roots, “waves” surge every day.

Destruction is the essence of the sea of ​​origin.

But when the disruption unexpectedly reaches a certain equilibrium, a brand new world is born.

For example, the world she lives in.

At a certain moment, it was born.

At some point, due to an accident, life was born in this world.

Most living beings live simply to live.

Lumina was once like that too; it was Lemetta who led her onto the path of seeking truth.

She liked the saying, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

This principle is the law and reason of the entire universe.

Now a path lies before Lumina: if she follows the path guided by divinity, she will be able to come into direct contact with the Sea of ​​Origin.

This is the place where the truth is most easily understood.

Even if she loses all human emotions, she still has consciousness, and with consciousness, she can continue to move forward on the path of pursuing truth.

Therefore, she must abandon those feelings that have become a burden to her!

For Lumina, eliminating the family that assassinated Lemetta was an emotional catharsis.

The same logic applies to eliminating Enron.

After all, what An Ran did in the shadows almost made her plan impossible to continue.

Nathaniel was not wrong to some extent in saying that she was not yet used to the power.

Because she wasn't fully prepared to accept all of this.

After a brief verbal exchange, An Ran decisively summoned her mechanical troops.

This battle is not about some grand cause like saving the world.

She had never had such lofty thoughts.

She just wanted to live.

Anran slowly closed her eyes.

When did it begin?

If we trace it back, it began from the moment she opened her eyes and found herself in an alleyway in the slums of Twin Moon City.

At that time, she was faced with a dilapidated handcart.

Time has passed, and that handcart was long ago destroyed in the turmoil of Twin Moon City, replaced by Lumina.

no difference.

The handcart told her that she could only live up to version 2.0 at most.

Lumina told her that she probably wouldn't be able to see Dawn 4.1.

But since we made it through safely last time, we can definitely do it this time too... right?

It's just a large handcart with special effects added; there's nothing to be afraid of.

Anran felt she should summon the "courage" of Don Quixote charging fearlessly at the "windmill giant" with his lance.

The wind is blowing so hard!

When An Ran opened her eyes again, the super-limited divine machine projected from the higher-dimensional world was already covered with purple light.

It held aloft six weapons of the Instructor.

The most conspicuous item is the commonly used weapon, the Admonitor's Spear.

Purple lightning gathered around the spear, resembling a roaring dragon, causing the space itself to tremble.

This was a strike delivered without reservation.

Once the psionic forces had gathered around Anran, forming a massive metal shield, the Transcendental Machine bravely charged toward Lumina.

wow——

That shot vanished into the void.

When it reappears, it will definitely be near Lumina.

"Let's do it!"

Nathaniel shouted.

The Grand Chancellor and others exchanged glances.

They realized that Lumina's target was only An Ran, and that she might leave alone after killing An Ran.

As the Grand Consul's longtime best friend, Nathaniel saw right through his thoughts.

Do you want to pin your hopes on the enemy's sympathy?

As it turns out, entrusting hope to the enemy instead of fighting for it yourself only leads to deeper despair.

"You think too much."

The Grand Chancellor snorted coldly.

He charged toward Lumina, carrying the Dragon Slayer Blade that could easily shatter super battleships.

On the other side, the other rulers of the Eternal Star Path also quickly activated [Divine Punishment].

Regardless of whether Divine Punishment would be effective against Lumina, at this moment, every means that could supplement damage was used.

The already turbulent starry sky is now completely engulfed in chaos.

A blood-red light blade sliced ​​through space, slashing directly at the ball of light enveloping Lumina.

That was a psionic attack attached to the Dragon Slayer's Blade, its strength even surpassing the Sky Lord's ultimate move that An Ran controlled.

Lumina simply raised her right arm very lightly.

In an instant, the space in front of her folded dozens of times, and then the blood-red light blade passed straight through Lumina's body and disappeared completely in a short while.

The attack failed.

But the Grand Chancellor was not discouraged. He had fought Lumina before and had anticipated this situation.

The important thing is that he bought time for the people who were exiled to the empire.

The massive turret floating behind Nathaniel began to fire.

Countless beams of energy wove together to form a torrential downpour, pelting down on the sphere of light where Lumina was located.

The folding of space deflected some energy beams, but not all of them.

The energy beam collided with the light sphere, triggering a violent explosion.

The aftershocks caused the Grand Chancellor's body to bob up and down for quite some time before he regained his balance.
