Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The Dust Territory is a huge source of manpower.

But only after Anran has handled things here.

"Slowly approach TNA330 over the next few days, without making too much noise, especially avoid being spotted by the Ninth Expeditionary Force's patrol ships."

"it is good."

Qiao Qina now has complete trust in An Ran's words.

Although he had a bit of a temper, he did his best to repay his savior, Jochina.

Mai He gave up all other ideas after repeated requests from Quan Daoxia and focused on working for the transdimensional world.

In the dark depths of space, an unmarked fleet gradually approached TNA330.

On the other side, an even smaller fleet was doing the same thing.

This is the fleet of the Sacred Way.

After disembarking from the "Go Forward" at the airport, the two members of the Holy Church eventually boarded an inconspicuous little spaceship.

Half a day later, they were incorporated into a small fleet.

This is probably the most powerful boss combination in the current story missions that players can access.

The middle-aged man in white robes standing on the observation deck of the lead spaceship is level 136 and has a hidden profession.

The people surrounding him at that moment were all above level 120.

"Divine messenger, I have a feeling that our trip out this time went too smoothly."

"It's all shrouded in mist and fog, I can't see it clearly."

The Divine Messenger is the highest-ranking NPC.

"That's not quite right. The president and the others are risking their lives to buy time," someone disagreed.

“I’m not denying the president’s contributions, but the timing of that gap seems a bit coincidental,” the person who first raised the objection argued. “It’s not just that gap; I think this whole series of recent events is too mysterious.”

"It just so happens that we can get in touch with the reformers."

"The reformers were able to contact the Ninth Expeditionary Force again."

"The Ninth Expeditionary Force is willing to help us again."

"It went too smoothly."

"Given the Empire's current situation, I don't find it strange that the Ninth Expeditionary Force is willing to help us. You know, they're known as the 'Shame of Ignaz.' Anyone would be furious to be given that title for no reason."

"But what benefit would they get from helping us?"

"..."

This question has suddenly stumped me.

They are, after all, interest groups within the empire.

Why help this religious group that has been labeled as "terrorists" for no reason?

"Perhaps they just want to use the trouble we caused in Tetana to transfer the Royal Knights away."

"The struggle for the throne has nothing to do with the Royal Knights."

"Then there's something else..."

"It's even less likely to involve the military; such matters are not handled by the military."

"..."

Others wanted to say something, but for the time being they couldn't find the key to breaking the deadlock.

Only the divine messenger listened silently without saying a word.

After a long while, seeing that everyone else was silent, he finally made his conclusion.

"No matter what, this operation against the Mechanicus cannot be canceled."

"If all of this is just us overthinking it, that would be even better."

"If this was a conspiracy by the Royal Knights from the beginning, then no matter what their intentions are, as long as we obtain the method to break the seal, even if we perish here, our goal will be achieved."

"Let us all strive together. This concerns the very survival of the Holy Principles Society, and at this time we should put aside ideological disputes even more."

"That's true."

Whether they are believers who revere the void or executors who attempt to exploit its power, they all understand that there is only one path forward they can take.

The starry sky was so vast and boundless, yet all they could see was the beam of light shooting from directly in front of them.

The darker the place, the more terrifying the eddy currents become.

The starry sea is far more cruel than the ocean.

As they looked around, they could finally see the TNA330.

Not long ago, a player shouted in front of the Governor's Palace in the Tetana region that the Holy Church was going to take action against the Mechanicus, but no one paid any attention.

Sacred Way?

Even a rat crossing the street dares to come out.

Such a declaration would certainly not reach Aixing.

Zhou Jieyu and the others are still locked up, and An Ran is completely in the dark.

……

In the underground warehouse of the TNA330 Mechanical Vatican Cathedral.

"Oh my God!"

Tan Lu, who had been visiting intermittently for two days, felt that her consciousness was becoming somewhat unclear.

Why can you eat so much?

She really wanted to lift Ella's ear and ask her a good question.

It wasn't resentment.

I just think Ella's ears are really pretty, and it would be really fun to pinch them.

There are many warehouses under the church.

At the behest of the old pope, Ella, who was provisionally designated as the next pope, indulged in a hearty feast.

She had never enjoyed a meal so much since she was a child.

Even during the conversation on the special channel, Anran could hear how happy Ella was.

"Don't worry, I've consumed another ton of Ruiyu Alloy!"

"Don't worry, I've ingested another ton of MR special metals!"

I can picture it now.

An Ran also heard the sound.

"Ton ton ton ton ton..."

A moment of silence for the metal stockpile of the Mechanical Papacy.

At the same time, An Ran also deeply felt her own poverty.

It's no wonder that the Mech Tribe nurtured Ella to such a high level not long after they unearthed the ancient essence.

If Ella had been with the Mechanical Church from the beginning, she probably could have kicked the Holy Church members away with a single kick.

If Ella is in the next star system.

In three years, Ella who has come to this star system may be invincible throughout the universe.

"I didn't abuse Ella."

"All of this, in the final analysis, is caused by poverty. If I had money, the empire would have been converted to Xin'an by now!"

Smack—

Ella put the last piece of metal into her mouth and patted her belly with satisfaction.

She can't eat indefinitely either.

There is still a digestion process involved.

However, as the level increases, the ability to digest ancient essence also becomes stronger.

"Have you eaten enough?" Tan Lu asked, her hands trembling.

“The saturation is 77.7%,” Ella replied.

"..."

I feel like you're implying something.

Increase efforts?

That's terrifying.

“If this continues, you’ll eat up all these warehouses in less than a month. The Mechanical Church will go bankrupt in less than a year!” Tan Lu looked at Ella with resentment.

Ella was rather embarrassed.

She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

She originally intended to remind Tan Lu.

Although my current eating speed is 1, as my strength increases, it will become 2, 3, or even 4. It should only take half a year to bankrupt the Holy See.

“I’ll take you to the next warehouse,” Tan Lu said.

"Sister Tan Lu, we don't need it for now."

"No?"

Tan Lu was surprised.

"This is enough for now, and the people from the Holy Church will be here soon."

Tan Lu's face stiffened.
