Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Lost in her amazement at Ella, she had almost forgotten about it.

The thought that if the Holy Church actually came would be devastating for the Mechanical Church is utterly unbearable.

Even if we make preparations in advance, can we really hold on?

Tan Lu's mood was mostly pessimistic.

If they weren't wary of the Holy Church's power, the Mechanical Church wouldn't have made a deal with them in the first place.

Is this truly the end of the Vatican's centuries-long history?

It's unclear whether pinning our hopes on Ella to lead the Papacy to a resurgence is the right thing to do.

Despite their past connection, Ella has no recollection of it, and who knows what Ella's true personality is like now?

Tan Lu recalled some of the old Pope's instructions, and at this point, she could only do her best.

"In that case, let's take a break."

"Ah."

Ella nodded.

She sat down where she was, showing no intention of driving Tan Lu away.

In fact, before the real changes occurred, Ella had no idea that her ordinary digestion would cause such a big commotion.

She sat on the ground as usual.

Allow the ancient essence within the body to refine the metal it had just absorbed.

That strange ore, which resembled a four-dimensional pocket, tore at the extremely strong metal, releasing bursts of energy that rippled in concentric circles.

Tan Lu couldn't see that Ella's level had reached 99.

She simply watched over Ella silently, just like everyone else who received orders.

Leaning against the wall, Tan Lu, who hadn't slept all night, was a little drowsy.

In her half-asleep state, her squinted eyes were suddenly pushed open by a light that surged and receded like the tide.

My sleepiness vanished instantly.

Tan Lu quickly opened her eyes.

She stared in astonishment at the world before her.

It was hazy and indistinct.

This small warehouse room looked as if it were immersed in a blue ocean.

The waves were surging.

When Tan Lu tried to raise her hands, she found that she couldn't move them at all.

A sense of oppression gradually crept into her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Ella".

Tan Lu called out, but there was no response.

"Ella".

Still no response.

What exactly happened?

She found herself melting even when she was leaning against the wall.

Just like chocolate.

Tan Lu panicked.

Fortunately, this process did not last too long.

The surging blue light gradually receded, swirling into Ella's body like a vortex.

The walls were restored to normal.

Tan Lu, who had been forced to press herself against the wall, breathed a sigh of relief.

Ella hadn't opened her eyes yet, and she didn't dare to go up to her.

But the more I did, the more certain I became that Ella was unusual.

No wonder he's an "old relic" who once helped our ancestors.

Since things haven't completely calmed down yet, let's wait a little longer.

Tan Lu subconsciously glanced at the time.

"Huh, how come six hours have already passed?"

She opened her mouth wide.

It's clearly the next morning now.

If Ella's account is correct, the members of the Holy Church have already arrived in Tetana quite some time ago.

"Sister, is everything alright outside?" Tan Lu immediately asked Tan Xuan.

"I'm... fine now."

"?"

Tan Lu was stunned for a moment.

"Why is the signal so bad on your end?"

Tan Lu turned and glanced at Ella.

If there's any problem, it must lie with Ella.

“There have been some minor changes,” she said.

Let's wait and see.

Tan Lu thought of it.

She just didn't expect to wait so long this time.

Ella only woke up when she heard some unusual noises outside.

"This is the only way we can go."

The members of the Holy Church really came.

Tan Lu looked very upset upon receiving the news.

When the wind blows, even trees rooted in the earth are not necessarily spared.

……

Move forward one hour.

Near TNA330, the Holy Church's fleet suddenly split into four groups, with the largest group continuing towards TNA330.

The remaining three streams blocked the passage to TNA330.

"We have one day to ensure the raid will not be disturbed."

The messenger solemnly warned those who were tasked with obstructing the mission.

The Mechanicus has a history spanning hundreds of years, and they were prepared to encounter fierce resistance.

I just didn't expect the resistance to come so quickly.

The moment the main fleet emerged from the shadows, the dark, lightning-fast attack came crashing down.

This frenzied power was like a writhing python, its jaws wide open, its fangs biting precisely into the spaceship.

An unknown fleet, a fleet that has ventured in without registration.

At this particular time, there is no doubt that they are here to stir up trouble.

The Mechanicus had long ago used its influence in Tetana to impose martial law on the nearby waterways.

Therefore, they act without any mercy.

"How is this going?"

The people inside the spaceship were terrified.

They were attacked before they even understood the situation. Have the people of the Mechanicus gone mad?

Regardless of what the members of the Holy Church thought, the Vatican held nothing back.

In addition to the simultaneous barrage of dark mines, even more powerful particle beams were unleashed without hesitation.

They even directly activated the tachyon emitter.

It expended enormous energy to deliver a faster-than-light attack through a hyperspace channel at a distance of less than one astronomical unit.

The tachyon energy beam that emerged from the hyperspace tunnel instantly pierced through both spaceships.

The light from the exploding fireworks was brighter than the highest magnitude star on TNA330.

The unluckiest guy lost half his blood on the spot.

However, the damage to the vehicles could not deter the Sacred Hearts' enterprising spirit.

They didn't have time to figure out how the information was leaked.

"Now that we've been discovered, there's no need to hold back. Charge! Let's finish this quickly!" the divine messenger commanded.

"What great luck!"

On a distant planet, Anran opened her eyes.

She never expected that the members of the Sacred Way would be divided into four groups.

In that case, the opportunity has arrived.

"Let's go, clear out the people on the perimeter first!"

It's time for the new mecha to perform again.
