Poverty makes me capable of anything.

With a creak, the hatch closed, and a glimmer of light appeared in the mecha's silver eyes.

As Qingling asked her question, a large hole slowly opened in the ceiling above the mecha. The sound of rustling could be heard, and even a sliver of moonlight shone down, falling on the mecha and reflecting off the spot where Qingling and the others were standing.

At this moment, An Ran's amplified voice also came out from inside the mecha.

"After dawn today, I will be the true king of the northern border of Nagria!"

I'm in a good mood today, so I'll indulge in being a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delus

Bang!

The sky overhead was crimson, but the moonlight remained stubbornly persistent.

The circular opening was originally intended as the main entrance for the mechs to exit.

A sound that seemed like a sob rang out, and the huge mech took off, passing through the gate with a whooshing sound and disappearing into the sky.

Looking down calmly, Anran saw that after the explosion, the center of the City of Ether was completely exposed to the outside world, but there was nothing left to hide at this moment.

Because she is the pinnacle of Papulo!

The silver moonlight hanging high in the sky.

[Holy crap, what was that that just flew by?]

Chapter 23 Like a God Descending to Earth

What just flew by?

The fleeting shadows in the sky puzzled these players for half a day.

What they saw was a streak of silver light mixed with moonlight flashing swiftly across the fiery red background in the distance.

The thing didn't linger at all and quickly turned into a silver speck of light on the horizon.

……

It's thousands of kilometers from the City of Ether to where the Pirate Alliance gathers.

The first thing Anran saw was the ground after the bombing, with the Ether City exposed. Even more surprisingly, she discovered that her actions had cured the desertification of the surrounding land!

That's right, because the desert surface was either blown away or crystallized during the explosion.

Fortunately, the desert is gone.

It's supposed to be simple and efficient... just kidding.

If deserts can still support some organisms, this kind of place is clearly no longer suitable for survival.

These things are not important for the time being; what is important is that Anran quickly arrived near the Federation camp.

The explosion was far enough away that it did not disturb the people who were there.

The spaceships were parked in a large circle, surrounded by many patrolling personnel, and brightly lit.

At that moment, the sky in the distance began to change.

"Holy crap, what's that?"

Old Gao and a dozen other players looked up and witnessed a scene that would never be forgotten.

Warships are impressive, but mechs are even more likely to ignite people's passion.

Just as flashy battle effects are eye-catching, it is still the visceral, hand-to-hand combat that is more stimulating and makes people feel excited.

Putting aside the question of which is more practical.

It's still more fun to shoot people in a mech.

But the problem is...

"Why, why would such a large mech appear in Bapulo?" Old Gao was dumbfounded.

The silver mech was like a majestic knight in gleaming armor, flying across the endless sky and arriving in the cold wind blowing through the desert night.

No, this is not the time to be in a daze.

"We need to report the news immediately."

Old Gao abandoned the players who had come from afar and stumbled towards the center.

"Hurry up."

The players didn't care about anything else.

What a load of rubbish, what's the point of an association? Filming mechs is much more worthwhile.

Before Lao Gao could report, the pirates standing on the sand outside noticed the anomaly.

"What the hell are they up to now?"

Pirate A from the extreme cold turned around impatiently. He had just personally killed three reckless fools to quell the unrest, and now, fueled by his own bloodlust, he was furious.

With a snap, he drew a knife.

But then he saw an even bigger knife!

The knife gleamed with a dazzling silver light; its length stretched across the sky; at a glance, it was almost the same length as the mecha holding it.

This knife is 40 meters long!

Unrivaled.

The blade, brimming with surging energy and vibrating at high speed, slashed swiftly down at a spaceship as the mecha swung it.

"what--"

The terrified screams abruptly ceased. Although the slash hadn't reduced the spaceship to scrap metal, the splashed energy instantly killed dozens of pirates, and a nearly two-meter-wide gash appeared in the spaceship's dome.

"mom……"

Pirate A remained standing, but his body had been split in two from the top of his head. With a gust of wind, he finally collapsed, unwilling to accept his fate.

No one knows whether he was swearing or screaming for his mother before he died.

Anyway, nobody cares about this kind of thing anymore.

That mech was an enemy, not a friend. As soon as it arrived, it began to sweep through the enemy without any regard for reason.

With his long sword swung around and his weaponry fully activated, he spun like a top, his mech's firepower covering the entire camp. Every strike left a deep wound.

At this time, the pirates remaining outside were mostly members of the two pirate crews from Paradise. Several of the escorted Alliance pirates escaped arrest and hurriedly hid under the spaceship.

"Good riddance! Those bastards, it would be best to kill them all!"

"This is simply not a way to get through..."

Old Gao looked around and happened to see his boss squatting on the ground, trembling. He hurried over.

"Boss, what are you doing here?"

"This is terrible, this is terrible..." The boss kept repeating this phrase while holding his head.

Damn it, this woman is so annoying.

Old Gao frowned. He had an idea.

He suddenly discovered a path, though it was a bit difficult.

"Come with me."

With a tug on his superior's arm, Lao Gao quickly crawled into the bottom of the spaceship, leading his superior through a difficult climb of several dozen meters before finally reaching the front of another spaceship.

Several corpses lay on the ground. This place was also very dangerous, but if one wanted to survive, one could only hope that the people inside would help.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened..."

A moment later, the spaceship's hatch finally opened.

Several muscular women stepped out and shouted angrily, "What are you yelling about..."

The voice paused for a moment, then anger turned into panic.

"I will inform the captain immediately."

With a whoosh, the fragments ejected from the energy blade instantly severed a section of the spaceship that had extended outwards.

Gan.

Old Gao dragged his superior straight into the spaceship, completely disregarding the rule that subordinates weren't allowed in.

After a flurry of hacking and slashing, An Ran noticed that a spaceship was trying to take off. She couldn't stand it any longer, so she piloted her mecha directly onto the spaceship, pulled out her large sword, and stabbed it down fiercely.

"You think you can run? I'll blow your head off!"

Sizzle, a hole appeared in the spaceship.

"No, we can't escape like this." Sheila swayed a few times. "Get all the other ships moving! Even if they can't fly, bombard them with cannons! There's only one mech like this. It's just taking advantage of us being on the ground. Don't be afraid of it!"

“I’ve already got my men moving. At this point, we must be on guard against those who are imprisoned causing trouble,” Charles said grimly.

“I know.” Sheila nodded. “I’ll contact Fred first. With his help, we’ll be out of this predicament soon.”

Charles didn't say much, but after a moment Sheila's expression suddenly changed: "We can't get in touch with her, how could this be!"

"Could something have happened to him too?" Charles wondered.

"Even if you're being harassed by someone, you shouldn't be too busy to reply to me. Could it be..."

Sheila considered a despairing possibility: was Fred currently with another woman...?

“No way, how could that be?” Charles shook his head. “With Fred’s strength and the spaceship he took with him, how could anything happen to him?”

Sheila stared at Charles.

Brother, that's not what I meant!!!

Forget it, family scandals shouldn't be discussed with outsiders.

Let's take care of ourselves first.

"what happened?"

Inside a spaceship, Xu Bang and the others who were imprisoned all noticed that something was wrong outside.
