Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Those space fighters are like the other generals on our side who only stand around the protagonist shouting "666" and giving thumbs up; when they feel like it, they'll step forward and swing their weapons to repel the enemy.

The enemy is ashamed, so I'll take off his clothes.

With a kill count of a thousand, Anran and Ella are truly unparalleled on Dolphin Star.

Accumulated 4200 million experience points.

The malevolent forces still emerge from the black hole, but their numbers are no longer as exaggerated as before. They emerge sporadically and are quickly overwhelmed by the space fighters.

This is the appearance of a god.

The number of sea dwellers in the distance is increasing.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the mechs fighting the monsters.

This "martial arts" is incredibly high-level. With a single swing of the white knife, a spray of black blood falls. When the light shone from his body, the black blood was dried up before it even hit the seawater.

"Well done, well done! My father can finally rest in peace."

A look of hatred, a look of excitement, a look of surprise.

Anran's mech is now the national idol of the sea people.

Strong and mighty.

"I'll leave this place to you for now. Contact me immediately if you have any questions."

After instructing Qingling, Anran no longer wanted to get entangled with these minor monsters, as it was too much of a waste of energy. She controlled her mecha to plunge into the seawater and crawled into the empty space left after the explosion of Mingyuan Island.

The seawater formed a small whirlpool here, and Ella's fire control system mercilessly fired several shots at the underwater mountain range.

Rumble...

In an instant, towering waves surged, and the heavens and earth seemed to change color.

This was merely a superficial description, but in the eyes of the sea people, it was true divine power.

A force more terrifying than natural disasters.

"The gods have descended into the sea!"

Ugh, can you please stop using such driver-like language?

A hero recognized by the sea people must be able to fight and swim, and have a good physique.

The gods can even swim; this is practically a superhero +++ version!

The seabed is very dark.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a land covered in black water.

However, this did not stump Anran. Various sensors were activated, and then the mecha's eyes glowed, illuminating the world around it.

The shelling made the crater beneath their feet deeper and deeper.

They could have slowly drilled down, but Anran preferred a more aggressive approach.

After an unknown number of energy impacts, the boiling seawater launched a counterattack against Anran and Ella.

It was an unbelievable rebound force, as if it were the rebound of billions of tons of water compressed to the extreme. The mech, which didn't have much leverage, was immediately blown away.

It soared high into the sky and quickly became the brightest star in the night sky.

puff--

The massive water column shook the surrounding area, leaving the sea creatures reeling. Even the space fighters weren't spared, getting their faces splattered by the reversed waterfall.

This merciless storm, I curse you!

Tan Yiyue rolled twice, and even the seaweed covering her chest flew away. If Qingling hadn't reacted quickly and used her mechanical arm to grab her directly into the fighter jet, she probably would have been torn to pieces by the raging sea.

"The left wing is out of balance, the left wing is out of balance..."

"Pull it up!" Qingling gritted her teeth.

The fighter jet rapidly climbed upwards, its swaying body making Tan Yiyue, who hadn't even turned around yet, feel nauseous again.

*Pfft*, he spat out water.

"..."

Shoulder.

Qingling touched her wet clothes.

"Yes, there is someone!"

Shaking her head, Tan Yiyue, who was completely bald, stared at Qingling in horror and quickly took a step back to cover her body.

There was actually a person inside the "sacred object".

Well, this person seems a bit different from them.

Leaving aside the fact that they were covered by strange things, the key difference is that their ears are different, and their eyes are also different.

Um, Tan Yiyue is a little scared, what kind of...person are you?

"Put them on first."

Qingling tossed a set of clothes to Tan Yiyue.

It's the same thing she's wearing, but how am I supposed to wear this?

Tan Yiyue held the clothes, not knowing how to wear them, but they seemed convenient to use to cover her chest.

"..."

Fine.

Qingling stood up.

"Well……"

Shrink up if you're scared.

"Don't be afraid, I'll teach you how to wear this."

Thus, under Qingling's careful guidance, the sea girl who lived in the shallow sea wore clothes for the first time.

To make the fins on her waist visible, Qingling even made two small holes in her clothes.

Tan Yiyue looked at the clothes she was wearing with surprise; they were ordinary sportswear.

It's also called clothing, but it's completely different from the seafood-woven garments they usually wear; it doesn't have that sticky feeling.

"Is this the divine object of the gods?"

Overcoming her fear, the girl, bursting with curiosity, quickly set her sights on Qingling.

"Are you a follower of the gods? What is this big bird? Why do you look different from us? Did the gods make you like this? Why...? Is it...? Why..."

Why is your mom asking this?

How many "whys" do you have?!

Don't be fooled by Qingling's well-mannered, wealthy demeanor when she talks to Anran. That's because she worked as a maid before becoming a pirate. After entering the pirate circle, she was infected by the foul-mouthed atmosphere, and Qingling's personality became somewhat irritable, though she was very good at controlling herself.

At this moment, she really wanted to rip off Tan Yiyue's ears and replace them with a pair of normal ears so that she wouldn't ask why they were different.

"Come, have some tea!"

Qingling handed a cup of black tea to Tan Yiyue.

"What is this? Can I drink this? Why is this called tea? Why..."

Damn it, can't you just drink it properly?

After being glared at by Qingling and then being told to "drink," Tan Yiyue quickly took the cup.

I tilted my head back, and... ton ton ton ton...

Hey, that's not how you drink tea!

"Delicious!"

goo...

Tan Yiyue smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons: "Thank you for treating me..."

boom.

She fainted before she could finish speaking.

Sleepy Tea, a bestseller that has never encountered antibodies in 79 subhuman races, has once again proven its effectiveness.

"It really is a good thing." This was something Qingling stole from Anran.

After moving Tan Yiyue to lie down on the seat, Qingling returned to the driver's seat.

Let Anran handle this headache herself.

Anran and Ella, who had become a star, are back.

"You beast, how dare you resist your Grandpa An's invasion!"

Today I'm going to show you just how unstoppable Grandpa An is!

Charge, Ella!

Normal seawater could not possibly unleash such power; An Ran estimated that it had just triggered a counterattack from An Ke.

This is the time to unleash our trump card, Ella.

The longsword-wielding knight charged into the sea with overwhelming force, causing the waves to surge again. Suddenly, lightning crackled beneath the dark surface of the sea, its light even piercing through the inky water.

Then, a surge of violent energy erupted, and black mist gradually spread across the sea.

"Monster! Monster!"

Many fishermen cried out in alarm.

As sentinels, they were deeply impressed by this.

Whenever black mist appears near Mingyuan Island, the monsters become extremely violent.

puff--

The mech emerged from beneath the sea once more, the scattered energy blades coalescing again, and the mech gazed at the turbulent sea surface.
