Poverty makes me capable of anything.

This is definitely the child of prophecy.

With such unique abilities, it would be a waste not to be an Ether Mechanic!

He's made up his mind; he'll tie Ella up here, no matter what!

Completely oblivious to the expressions of others, Ella picked up a small piece of metal from her right hand and put it in her mouth.

Like eating an apple, crunch crunch, and in a few bites, the piece of metal disappeared.

Gollum—

"Ah!!!" A scream suddenly rang out at that moment.

The shocked crowd immediately turned to look in the direction of the sound.

The voice came from Ella.

But it wasn't Ella who shouted it; it came from behind that round hole.

Behind the small, round hole, a terrified face remained frozen in time.

She stretched out her right hand, pointing her index finger at Ella, her voice trembling and incoherent.

"Eat...eat...in...metal"

"what!"

How terrifying!

So he called out again.

Disassembling metal with bare hands is already terrifying, but the key is that Ella actually ate it; her teeth are incredibly strong.

The old pope would have been even more shocked, but those two shouts made him rein in his outward emotions, and no one else could figure out just how turbulent his heart was.

The question is, how does a normal person digest metals?

Unless it is a special ethnic group.

Perhaps it is precisely because they are a special race that they possess such a strong affinity for etheric power.

The old pope's heart burned with passion.

Although the crown and the church cannot be given to Ella, the Vatican has a lot of metal reserves, so that's not a problem at all!

Lollipops can lure ordinary little girls, but to deal with the extraordinary Ella, it's time to deploy high-grade metal.

"Child, although the crown and the church cannot be given to you, as long as you agree to become the next pope, you can use the metal stored in TNA330 by the Vatican as you wish!"

I never expected you, Pope, to use this kind of tactic!

Tan Lu stared at the old Pope.

Kind and gentle my foot!

But Ella stared at the crown.

She felt that this thing was very important to her.

“Tell us what metal you want!” the Pope added. “I will find it for you.”

"emmm..."

If I become the Pope, I can help Anran obtain the blueprints for the Mechanical Church.

Why don't we just give in?

But the crown...

"You can secretly eat it later and then make them an exact replica," An Ran suggested from the side.

Ella's eyes lit up immediately.

"There's no need to feel guilty. After all, we helped the Mechanical Church. Let's figure out how to defeat the Holy Church first."

"Uh-huh."

“Alright then.” Ella nodded “reluctantly.”

The old pope was overjoyed.

Even though the Papacy is currently facing a crisis, finding such a capable successor is something to celebrate.

"Tan Tang, come out and verify."

The old pope shouted into the air.

“Tan Tang?” Ella heard the familiar name.

At that moment, the familiar figure of that sycophantic AI suddenly appeared in the air.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tan Tang turned to face Ella, and only then did the scanning light emerge.

Her entire AI suddenly collapsed in disbelief.

"Yes, it's that sir!"

ha?

The others looked completely bewildered.

Chapter 30 is about that person!

Ah, so it's that sir!

But who exactly is that person?

Not to mention the old pope and the others, even Ella herself was completely bewildered.

That sir?

I'm only three years old!

They're not adults at all!

Most importantly, an AI actually gave m(o_ _)m.

You weren't like this before!

Tan Lu was bewildered in the wind.

This AI that has been with the Mechanicus for hundreds of years is probably poisoned.

The old pope extended his hand: "Tan Tang, what's this?"

AI Tan Tang stood up: "This is that incredibly powerful master! My master also received great favors from him before!"

Everyone knows that the "master" Tan Tang was referring to was Tan He.

But who exactly is that person?

Everyone was in tears.

Your surname is "73", right?

Fortunately, Tantang is not an AI that likes to keep people in suspense.

She and Tan Tang from Ankeli share the same origin, but they were later separated.

Through Tan Tang's account, the old pope and others heard some news that had been buried in time.

They all knew that Tan had gone to the Mech Tribe to study, but they were unaware that Tan had come into contact with Ella's "past life" there, nor were they aware that Ella's "past life" had given Tan some help, allowing him to be more free in the Mech Tribe.

Of course, the deepest connection lies in Tan's discovery that the power of ether and the essence of antiquity can be perfectly integrated together.

However, he did not inform the Omnic tribe of this news.

As an intelligent machine race, they have no way of mastering the power of the aether, so there's no need for them to create trouble for themselves.

Tan Tang is unclear about the relationship between Crown and Ella.

All she knew was that the materials used to make the crown were dug up by Tan He in the Hidden Sandbar.

Considering that Ella was also dug out of the Hidden Sands, there may be a special connection between the two.

"Was I dug out of a rock?"

Ella pointed at herself in surprise.

Wasn't it a monkey that came out of the stone?

Ella remembered the story Anran had told her.

What does "past life" mean?

She has absolutely no recollection of it.

In fact, Ella wasn't particularly surprised. She knew she was extraordinary, so no story could sway her.

Ella wasn't particularly surprised.

The other people who heard the story were no longer able to remain calm.

The impact of this story is far more unsettling than the abilities Ella had previously demonstrated.

"Machine, robot."

Tan Lu stammered.

It's impossible to tell; even the Pope and the others couldn't tell.

The old pope's eyes lit up.

This is the same great man who lived during the same era as the first pope!

Her incredibly mysterious existence makes it seem like there's no problem with her becoming pope.

And wouldn't that mean they don't have to worry about the Holy Church's invasion at all?

Tangtang said that Ella is even stronger than the first Pope!

"Ah, I'm not that good."
