Poverty makes me capable of anything.

At first, Cruzeiro thought he had underestimated his opponent and that the only trouble he had caused was through a sneak attack. But the facts proved him wrong.

He was driven five meters deep into the metal wall, and the hole he created was wide enough for one person to pass through.

When the industrial mech got close, the surrounding metal seemed to evade it like water.

This is fucking bizarre.

Bang bang bang bang—

Countless punches rained down, and Crosello was overwhelmed and unable to defend himself. It was as if a hundred burly men were playing a game of smashing rocks on his chest with sledgehammers.

That's so brutal!

"cough--"

Cruzeiro spat out a mouthful of blood, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, this shameless bastard is taking advantage of my poor close-combat skills! I'm really angry! I'll show you what the power of a miracle is! A mere lump of metal dares to show off in front of me? What a joke!"

"field!"

Suppression of power!

Cruzeiro's body erupted with intense light; he had no more reservations, and he was stronger than ever before.

"Haha, prepare to die!"

If I weren't worried about damaging that portal, I would have used the most ruthless methods to dismantle this pile of scrap metal!

Like an angel, Cruzeiro drew a holy sword of light with fluttering wings from the void, and with a single, sweeping strike—

May all evils be shunned!

boom!

What the hell is this?

Ella flashed in front of Cruzeiro and slammed her head-sized fist into Cruzeiro's face.

An Ran said, when you hit someone, just hit them in the groin!

If it's a ranged attack, then aim down below!

The overconfident Cruzeiro hadn't even recovered from the power he felt after grasping the holy sword when Ella punched him into an unfathomable abyss.

Numerous exaggerated cracks appeared inside the metal wall.

"it's over!"

Ella raised her hand and, like a whale sucking in its lungs, drew all the surrounding metal towards her.

A moment later, the violent ball of light slammed into Cruzeiro, who had finally managed to stand up.

"Boom!"

What exactly is going on?

As Cruzeiro lay dying on the ground, he looked back on his past, on his youth that had faded away in the sunset—how beautiful it was.

But today he encountered a monster, demon, or monster that he couldn't understand.

His death was truly shrouded in mystery.

Uh……

With a flick of his eye, Crozier died.

After all, he was just an ordinary master at level 126, while he was facing Ella, who had just eaten a big meal and had already leveled up to level 147.

It's easier than a father beating his son. Thinking about it carefully, it's probably about the same level of difficulty as in some domestic online games where whales (players who spend a lot of money) crush free-to-play players.

"It's been resolved!"

Ella flew out of the wall and made a gesture of good luck to Guedes.

"That's good!"

Guedes breathed a sigh of relief. From below, he hadn't gotten a clear look at Cruzeiro's face and assumed he was just an ordinary soldier. The industrial mech Ella could send a punch sending a soldier hanging hundreds of meters into the air; a regular soldier would be no match for her. It was truly remarkable that he had lasted so long against Ella!

Guedes shook his head and went back to maintaining the portal.

He didn't see Badley, but Badley saw him.

But Badley had no time to pay attention to Guedes. The Cruzeiro who was invincible in the Carpinus system, who could easily fly through the stars, move mountains and fill seas, and lift a spaceship with one hand, was gone just like that.

Are you kidding me?

Aside from some loud noises, the only things damaged were a few metal pipes, a ceiling, and a wall.

Did Cruzeiro's performance plummet after drinking fake alcohol, or is he simply a fake?

If he could see the metal wall that stretched for thousands of meters and the huge hole that was tens of kilometers wide and buried deep in the ground, Badley probably wouldn't have thought that way.

Well--

Ella landed in front of Badley.

With a whoosh, a ball of light condensed in his hand. Just as the trembling Badley was about to be blasted into dust, Guedes finally realized that something was wrong.

“Badley? What are you doing here… Oh, right, you also know about this portal.” Guedes sighed.

Staring at the pulsating ball of light, Badley gasped for breath and was speechless.

"It seems you want to stop me. If you want to stop me, why did you only bring an ordinary soldier?"

Ordinary soldier?

“What are you talking about? The one who was just killed was Cruzeiro,” Badley said with a wry smile.

Guedes nodded: "It was a soldier named Cruzeiro."

"..."

Badley really wanted to see if Guedes had lost his mind and to wake up.

“It’s the nobleman Cruzeiro,” Badley said.

"Noble Cruze..."

Guedes's expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly realized that although he was unwilling to cooperate with the nobles, he knew how powerful they were. Cruzeiro was a strongman who easily defeated the head of the guard department of the Great Ship Industrial Zone.

In other words, that industrial robot killed Cruzeiro in less than a minute!

Looking at the composed Ella, Guedes was speechless and sweating profusely.

A master of unparalleled skill!

This industrial robot is a master of its kind.

And she comes from another dimension.

"Could you be ANR?!"

Guedes stared at Ella and questioned her.

"ANR?"

Badley was stunned for a moment, then realized that ANR referred to the Overlord of Time and Space, and he sat down on the ground.

He's an absolute demon king you can't afford to mess with!

Ella said expressionlessly, "You've got it wrong. I'm not ANR. ANR is my sister!"

I do not believe!

Guedes thought to himself, "Nobody believes you. How could it be so powerful if it weren't for ANR?"

"She's been using me all along? No," Guedes thought to himself, shaking his head. With the strength ANR had demonstrated, she didn't actually need to use him at all.

The word "reckless" is enough to turn Newland upside down, or rather, if she were to restrain herself and focus on the core, she would have already razed the core to the ground with her abilities.

Guedes thought of the label attached to An Ran: genius mechanic! Extraordinary mechanical skills, at such a young age, he had already trampled countless seniors in the Mechanic Guild underfoot!

With the ability to dissolve metal and even eat metal, it's no wonder ANR is so amazing!

It turns out, ANR isn't a person at all!

Guedes discovered a "shocking secret".

He turned to look at Badley lying on the ground. It was probably because ANR didn't want to damage the large ship industrial zone that they resorted to this method. Otherwise, who could stop her like this?

Nobles, Baddeley, how naive of you to even think of stopping this ANR!

It's entirely their own fault that things have turned out this way.

However, given their decades-long friendship, Guedes, like Badley, eventually pleaded with Ella for leniency.

"Then let him sit there."

Badley was thrown into a corner, where he sat dejectedly, already sensing that whatever the outcome of the war, everything he had was ruined.

Why bother?

Guedes shook his head.

……

"There's a portal!?"

Rewinding time, as Anran was piloting the Flying Starship to prepare for battle, she received a message from Ella.

"The portal has two destinations: one is an uninhabited planet in the Immortal Cloud Region, and the other is an uninhabited planet on the bar spiral of the Ship Bottom Galaxy."

This is incredible news.

The garrison was thrown into chaos due to the sudden loss of communication and the major incident on Newland. If they could seize the opportunity, they could be defeated in one fell swoop.

But that's not the main point. The important thing is the destination of the portal: the Immortal Cloud Region is right next to the Selene Military Industrial Zone, located on the road from the Selene Military Industrial Zone to Aistar.

That is, the road that was blocked by the Royal Guard.

This is a strategic location!

The only downside is that this portal doesn't allow warships to pass through.

"We must get our hands on Newland Star!"

An Ran no longer intended to drag things out with the defenders of the Ship's Bottom system.
