Poverty makes me capable of anything.

goo goo...

Bubbles shot out, and soon, giant waves surged, from below shooting out a thick, withered vine-like object that stabbed viciously into the mech's crotch.

An elite monster of level 80 lay prostrate at the entrance of the enormous underwater palace, its body emanating a continuous stream of black energy that surged toward the gate.

"Break!"

A 40-meter-long blade was drawn, cleaving through the darkness above and the Black Sea below.

"You all step back."

To An Ran's surprise, the level 90 mech could only hold its own against this elite monster.

This is something that makes one's expression involuntarily become serious.

wow-

Huge waves kept rising on the sea surface. The sea dwellers were so frightened by the sight of such an exaggerated battle that they ran as far away as possible, and the space fighters also flew far away.

But if this drags on, the mechs will run out of energy, the original balance of power will collapse, and in the end, there will only be failure.

"Ella, I'll drop you off at the entrance of that palace. Once you're inside, go and check if there are any mechs left. If there are, bring them out."

"Hmm!" Ella's expression was very serious.

We must strive to help Anran, not just act as an assistant.

The fierce battle has once again shifted from the surface of the sea to the seabed.

Although the black monster possessed immense strength, could launch various mist blasts, and even had teleportation-like abilities, it still found it difficult to break through the mech's defenses.

In terms of defense, the mech is still befitting of a level 90 mech, but its destructive power—

Now is not the time to think about these things.

The sudden, mindless dual-wielding attack did indeed knock the monster back for a moment. Anran, who had already chosen her position, launched Ella to the palace entrance. Then, she strode forward and grabbed the monster's arm with both hands.

Come on, let's wrestle underwater! You monster!

The beast roars!

The turbulent currents swayed Ella for a moment, but she quickly adapted to the environment.

And when they reached the palace gate, the palace gate that had trapped the monster for many years actually... opened a small door just big enough for Ella to enter.

"..."

Anyway, Ella went inside.

After a brief struggle with the monster, An Ran, distracted, was hit hard several times, causing her shield to drop drastically, but she still achieved her goal.

"Go to hell!"

An Ran kicked the monster away and pulled out her forty-meter-long sword again.

Today, I'm going to cook you up.

I'll chop!

A single stroke divides the flow and severs the waves.

Chapter 15 Just like the road on the ground, even cursing...

Boom!

The sound from behind made Ella nervously turn around and look, only to find that the small door she had just opened had suddenly disappeared.

The entire piece was seamless, with no visible seams, as if the small door didn't exist.

Alright, let's hurry up and search to see if there are any mechs. Anran is still fighting that monster outside.

Since it is an underwater palace, its internal structure is naturally very different from that of Papulo's Ether City.

After walking through the initial corridor, there was no platform filled with mechanical golems like in the City of Ether.

Instead, it is a downward-facing circular track.

The track was surrounded by a clear, pale blue liquid, and the embellishments made it seem as if Tan He was a person who pursued artistic beauty, but danger still lurked behind the beauty.

Ella's eyes quickly locked onto the device hidden behind the glittering stars in the liquid. Although she didn't know what it was for, it was clearly not a good thing.

Before the analysis in the central system could be completed, the devices "shyly" turned aside, showing no interest in Ella.

This is still a good thing. Although she can travel as easily as if she were on an underwater tour, Ella, who is concerned about her safety, has no interest in seeing these things.

She simply glided along.

The little leather shoes stuck to the smooth pipe floor. With a dash forward, the little boy slid down the pipe with a dripping sound.

The star-like specks in the blue liquid seemed to welcome Ella's arrival, blooming brilliantly like fireworks. If there were any living creatures inside, it would be even more solemn.

Thinking of this, Ella descended to a position twenty meters below and lightly stepped over a hurdle.

They continued sliding down, but the surrounding environment had changed dramatically.

More brilliant starlight is blooming, the tinkling sound of flowing water fills the entire auditory world, and "fish" of different sizes swim out of the seaweed.

It's a fish that looks very cute.

But they are all mechanical products.

These things could not escape Ella's "eagle eyes".

The fish seemed to be welcoming her arrival, constantly spitting out small bubbles from their real fish lips. When the bubbles burst, they released colorful light spots.

It's like suddenly finding yourself in an amusement park while playing NieR: Automata.

Sliding through the pipes feels like jumping onto a roller coaster.

But there were no enemies.

Sinking all the way down, Ella finally burst out of the pipe, the force field lifting her smoothly through the air and landing on the crystal platform opposite.

This is a high platform made up of three cylinders of different sizes stacked together.

The platform was surrounded by mechanical puppets, and further away, fish-shaped robots poked their heads out of the pool.

Puff puff--

Playing with spitting water.

Such a grand scale makes one feel somewhat bewildered.

The last time she was in the City of Ether, the robots and AI there also showed her extraordinary awe.

Ella was puzzled that it was happening here again.

She knew she wasn't human, but she knew nothing about her origins.

Her parents didn't tell her, and Anran didn't say much either; perhaps even they themselves didn't know.

The platform rose up, and a curtain of water descended around it.

Having traversed time and an entire world, Ella found herself in a place where left, right, up, and down were indistinguishable. When she came to her senses, she found herself standing in a spacious hall.

Mechs!

She looked up at the tall knight standing not far away.

If the one An Ran was driving was the Silver Moon Knight, then this one is the Nightbringer.

He's 10.72 meters taller, and his weight... even Ella can't tell.

There is indeed a pair of triangular wings on its back.

"Great!"

Ella walked toward the mecha with delight.

This will help Anran.

However, as she approached the mecha, a projection suddenly appeared in front of the mecha's right foot.

"Hey, Tan Tang, what are you doing here?"

The girl bowed slightly to Ella: "I am Tantang II."

"..."

This naming strategy is the same as Anran's.

"I'm going to pilot this mech now."

"Having just arrived in Azure City, won't you let me introduce this place to you first, Ling..."

Ella waved her hand impatiently: "I don't have time to listen to this bullshit propaganda right now. I just want to pilot a mech and go outside to fight monsters! You can talk to me after I'm done fighting."

"..."

AI Tantang II got stuck for a while; this esteemed guest seems to be in a rather bad mood.

However, the master instructed that she should be treated with the utmost courtesy, so...

Tan Tang II nodded: "As you wish!"

She stepped aside, and the mech's traction field allowed Ella to smoothly enter the control room.

The control method was no different from Anran's mech, and Ella quickly adapted.

With a loud rumble, an opening appeared on the top of the mech.

The powerful repulsive force caused the seawater outside to suddenly surge out, and the "Night Messenger" shot out under Ella's control.

At that moment, An Ran slashed the monster away with a single blow, and the high-energy light bullets she fired created a vacuum zone in the seawater.

The monster's withered vines bore several deep wounds, which only fueled its ferocity.

It has been lying in wait at the entrance of that underwater palace ever since it became conscious. Now, a big guy actually wants to drive it away. Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't.

The withered vines intertwined, and in the center of the sphere they covered appeared a huge black sphere that seemed to be running rampant with electricity; the seawater disappeared the moment it touched it.

"Danger warning! Danger warning!"

The soaring energy level triggered an automatic warning from the mech.

Is this a powerful attack used after the health bar drops to a certain level?
