Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran took the two subspace boxes and flew to the desert planet.

The Deep Space Gun is a strategic weapon capable of completely desertifying the surface of a planet.

What would be the result if used to deal with a planet that was already desertified?

An Ran opened the subspace box.

What appeared before them was a massive weapon system resembling a castle.

Including its base, the Deep Space Spear is a full 127 meters tall.

Multiple hyperspace engines are installed at the bottom of the ring. These engines will generate tremendous force to tear through space, and then send live ammunition equipped with tidal detectors into the hyperspace channel. By using the tidal force of hyperspace, the shock wave generated by the impact will be amplified. After the live ammunition hits the target, it will cause earthquakes on the target planet, thus causing extremely strong destructive power.

Unfortunately, this experiment could not utilize hyperspace.

The spatial fluctuations in this area are too great to achieve precise positioning.

"here we go."

An Ran activated the switches for both Deep Space Guns.

Multiple weapons working together can trigger the Mechanic's passive skill, "Advanced Firepower Net," which increases damage by 15% when there are two weapons in the net.

The Ether Mechanic's active skill, [Power Amplification], can increase damage output by 30%.

The passive ability of Ether Realm [Ether Realm Riot] can increase output by 50%.

In summary, the next two shells could theoretically deal 195% damage.

While it doesn't match the theoretical output that triples after using hyperspace, it's still quite considerable.

When the light from the muzzle of the Deep Space Gun shone as brightly as a star, the entire gun trembled violently for a long time.

The live ammunition turned into streaks of light!

It was reflected in Anran's bright eyes.

It took only a few seconds to hit the desert planet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

The golden planet, which had been drifting in the universe for countless years, was struck by a natural disaster. A single, violent live-fire bullet hit a deep valley, and another hit a mountain range.

The dust and smoke it stirred up instantly spread across the globe, like the raging lake in the end-of-the-century prophecy, leaving no part of the planet unscathed.

The earthquake tore apart the tectonic plates, exposing the underground lava, and the energy released from the live ammunition was changing the planet's surface at an alarming rate.

Having weathered the initial dust storm, Anran, now standing quietly in the starry sky, watched as the desolate planet rapidly changed color.

It's as if someone pressed me into the sands of time and thoroughly washed me clean.

The dazzling gold gradually faded, turning into a grayish-brown that made one want to frown in less than a minute.

"Let's go take a look."

Anran dropped a bunch of detectors down.

Experiment, then collect experimental data, and then summarize the gains and losses.

Anran was very satisfied with the data returned by the detector.

The star's core wasn't greatly affected, but the planet had become loose and would probably have crumbled into pieces long ago if it weren't for gravity holding it together.

"It's up to you!" Anran stared at Juliana.

"Your Highness, I will do my best."

Juliana took a deep breath, her eyes temporarily fixed on the gray-brown planet.

She adjusted her state while accumulating energy.

The energy level detector readings rose at an alarming rate. At this moment, Juliana was like a humanoid supermatter reactor, and her body began to be enveloped in a soft, hazy white light.

Then, as the white light expanded to a certain critical point, Juliana slowly reached out her hand toward the grayish-brown planet.

A beam of energy shot out rapidly.

"A planet explodes!"

An Ran had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

At her peak, the pirate princess barely possessed the power to destroy a star, but unfortunately, Anran died before she could experience it.

As for Juliana, Anran asked her, and she had absolutely no confidence in it.

But if the target is a planet that is already on the verge of collapse, the outcome is different.

The energy beam pierced the ground along a crack the instant it touched the grayish-brown planet.

There were three seconds of silence, followed by three seconds of explosion. The entire planet was like a leaky egg. An Ran had no idea what had happened to the planet's surface, but it exploded.

"Get out of here quickly."

After sheathing the Deep Space Spear, he safely jumped into the Starship and headed to the next planet.

At this moment, she was in a state of inexplicable excitement.

It's going to explode!

It's really exploded.

I've played many similar games before this time travel, but I've never played any game that could achieve such a high star count.

Even in strategy games, you can hardly see this kind of visual impact. It's not that it doesn't exist, but it completely lacks this kind of visual impact.

A game with almost no storyline?

But if the special effects are good enough, it can do whatever it wants!

Holding the weakened Juliana, Anran's chest heaved.

Juliana enjoyed the rare lap pillow service. Although she was very weak at the moment, she still felt that life was so wonderful and life was so interesting.

Ta-da!

Next, the outlaw Anran, along with Juliana, used the Deep Space Lance to blast the remaining three planets in the planetary system.

The rocky planet is in a state of collapse, the gaseous planet is experiencing endless storms, and the frozen planet is melting, but the ice here is made of methane and has not been able to blast out water.

"That's about enough. I'm sure we can get some good stuff in return."

Afterwards, An Ran took the recorded video to the Star Alliance.

"I think you'll probably be interested in this."

"?"

The Star Alliance members accepted the bracelet that An Ran handed them with a puzzled expression.

He stared at the virtual screen silently for five or six minutes, then his breathing suddenly became rapid.

“This is the Empire’s secret weapon, the Deep Space Lance!” Anran explained. “Since the experiment was conducted in Paradise, it did not utilize hyperspace.”

"what do you mean?"

The Star Alliance members were quick-witted.

Since An Ran has produced the video, she must want to exchange something from them.

"I need warships, battleships or cruisers are fine. The war between you and the Omnic Horde is almost over, so selling warships shouldn't be a problem now. I also need some materials, which are all under embargo by the Empire. If you can help me get them, I'll give you not only the Deepspace Lance, but even the blueprints for it."

"!"

"This is a very important matter, and I cannot make the decision."

"Then let's contact someone we can talk to, the sooner the better."

"Okay, wait for me for two days."

An Ran is a staunch supporter of warships and cannons. Although she has built a large number of mechs, she only uses them to show off and to sell them to players to make money in the future.

(The Ella mech is unique and cannot be replicated.)

Mechs are not well-suited for deep-space combat, although they can be surprisingly effective in amphibious landings.

Due to their size, mechs are far inferior to warships in terms of both power and output. Large-scale warship fleets can easily operate across star sectors, while most mechs do not have the ability to warp or enter hyperspace. In a sense, even the most agile mechs cannot compare to warships.

Therefore, even in this incredibly magical world, the future of mechs has never been viewed favorably.

Even though the world has reached this consensus, mechs have not been eliminated, which proves another theorem: it doesn't matter if you're bad at it, as long as you're good-looking, you can survive!

"Did you learn anything?" Anran asked the Void Panda.

The Void Panda seemed lost in thought.

"you're right!"

It gave Anran a thumbs up.

This is something Void Panda learned from a video he recently watched.

When it makes this gesture, it means that the person being praised is truly excellent!

"If you're weak and people dislike you, you should learn to keep a low profile. Look at the followers you've recruited, they're really twisted. There are already a lot of people you can't beat, yet you insist on packaging yourself as a cult. Isn't that just courting death?" An Ran muttered to herself.

In the Empire, cults are also considered bastards.

"If I were here, I would package you as a virtual idol. That would be much more effective at brainwashing you than being part of a cult."

"..."

So if Anran had been there back then, we wouldn't be trapped here, right?

The Void Panda lay on its side, one hand supporting its chubby face.

The brainwashing, done day after day, has proven quite effective.

There was actually another reason why Enron made Juliana a star.

"Even someone as weak as us can become a star, do you really think you could have caused a big stir even if you hadn't been sealed away back then?"

"..."

The Void Panda had nothing to say.

Its strength was weakened after leaving the void world.

Void Panda lost much of its confidence. Even if its elders came to avenge it, it wouldn't mean anything if it got killed.

The Void Panda scratched his head, a thought forming in his mind—
