Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The area near the north pole of Tribulus terrestrial planets is also perpetually covered in frost.

To preserve its natural appearance, even though the planet has been heavily developed, there are still no traces of human intervention in the Arctic region.

Today, the day after the war ended, two mechanical golems descended upon the endless ice plains of the Arctic.

"It should be just ahead."

One of the mechanical puppets spoke in a crisp, synthesized electronic voice, its body resembling a towering iceberg.

"Then let's keep going."

The people controlling these two mechanical puppets were Anran and Wilmer.

Theodore told Wilmer that all he needed to do was find a way to bring Enron here.

No matter what method is used, as long as the person is brought here, Wilmer will have fulfilled his request.

Since the other party has already laid a huge trap here, An Ran will definitely not come in person again. Even if she sends over a mechanical puppet, it will be an old version, a low-level 50.

Even if it breaks, Anran won't feel bad at all.

The two mechanical puppets crossed the iceberg in front of them, and what appeared before them was a large expanse of floating ice shards.

The destination shown on the map held by the mechanical puppet controlled by Wilmer is here.

"No abnormalities were found."

"Maybe we need to throw something in to make a difference."

Wilmer dug out a block of ice, carried it, and threw it directly into the water.

Whoosh!

The splashing water directly drenched the mechanical puppet he was controlling in the face.

Splash splash splash splash—

The surging water kept washing over the surrounding small ice blocks, but apart from that, there seemed to be no other noticeable changes.

"Huh, how could this be?"

Wilmer took two steps forward in surprise.

Nothing has changed. Would An Ran think he was lying to her? But this time he really wasn't lying.

The destination shown on the map is definitely here; he's so good at maps that it's impossible for him to make a mistake.

"Does that mean Theodore has already discovered that I have betrayed our cooperation?"

Wilmer's emotional fluctuations caused him to temporarily lose control of the mechanical puppet.

He was awakened by the clanging sound of the mechanical puppet under An Ran's control patting his shoulder.

"Look behind you."

later?

Wilmer controlled the mechanical puppet to turn around.

Then he saw the stunning special effects that were like a blockbuster movie.

Suddenly, a huge black curtain appeared behind the iceberg they had just crossed. The curtain drifted over from afar, and everything it touched shattered into tiny fragments the size of a fingernail in an instant.

Click.

The bump blocking the road broke.

Boom!

The massive iceberg shattered into millions of pieces like broken glass, and was instantly swallowed up by the darkness.

"Damn it, what the hell is this?"

Wilmer cursed under his breath and turned to use his family's secret escape technique, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly realized that all his escape routes were blocked.

There's more than one dark secret here.

From all directions, in the sky, and even on the ground!

wow——

In the blink of an eye, the ground shattered into countless small crystals, and the two mechanical puppets, having lost their footing, began to fall.

"That is……"

An Ran caught a glimpse of something darting out of the shadows, but before she could see it clearly, she had already lost contact with the mechanical puppet.

"Anran, Anran, look over there!"

Standing beside her, Ella suddenly pointed to the Three Shepherds in the distance.

A black dot suddenly appeared in a white area at the north pole of Jupiter. The black dot gradually devoured the surrounding white area and continued to spread into the outer space of Jupiter.

Fortunately, this strange phenomenon did not last long. After the black light spread to a certain height, it shrank back at an extremely fast speed and eventually disappeared on the Three Shepherds Star.

"Send a few more mechanical golems over to check the situation."

After giving the order, An Ran directly copied out what she had just seen in the darkness and compared the data online.

Because what Enron saw was incomplete, the comparison result was only a probability data.

"There is a 43.6% chance that it is a high-ranking demon."

"There is a 22.3% chance that it is the cosmic behemoth, Delgana."

"There is a 17.5% chance that it is an 80:1 scale model of the Delgana figure produced by the BA Foundation."

"There is a 12.1% chance that it is a small workshop in Xingquan that made a 1:80 scale replica of the Delgana figure."

"There is a 4.5% chance that..."

Figurines?

Replica figurines?

Damn it!

When An Ran saw the first line of data, she thought it must be a high-level demon, but after reading the second to fourth lines, she calculated that the total probability was 51.9%, and it seemed that the star behemoth Delgana had the upper hand again.

"A cosmic behemoth shouldn't be this small, right? Could it be a cub?"

As soon as Anran opened the webpage related to Delgana, Wilmer's image appeared.

"Great, great."

Seeing that An Ran was still alive and kicking, Wilmer breathed a sigh of relief. If anything had happened to An Ran, that monster-like Ella would have destroyed the entire underground mercenary group.

Based on current performance, Theodore's famous 1v4 comeback is far less impressive than Ella's 1v4 domination.

It's truly terrifying—

"hiss!"

"Is there something you need?" An Ran asked.

"This is incredible!" Wilmer immediately remembered that he had important business to attend to. He hurried over and said as he walked, "I don't know if you saw it clearly in that dark curtain just now, but I saw it clearly. It was a high-level demon! That thing that jumped out was definitely a high-level demon! With my eyesight honed over the decades, there's no way I could be wrong!"

As expected of a high-ranking demon!

Delgana? Definitely not.

As for figurines, I just want to see what this figurine actually looks like.

An Ran quietly swiped her left hand and dismissed the webpage related to Delgana that had just been brought up.

"Just like what I saw."

Anran pulled up the image of the high-level demon, and at this point, the previous 43.6% had been erased.

"This is it!"

Wilmer's eyes lit up when he saw the picture: "This is incredible! Theodore told me about this location, but we discovered a high-ranking demon there. You know, the place where high-ranking demons are entrenched is more than twenty star sectors away from Three Shepherds. Didn't a demon break into a press conference on Aix-en-Provence a while ago? Do you think this could be related to Theodore?"

An Ran shook her head: "It's hard to say, but he's highly suspicious. If the demon really was brought by Theodore, then he has big plans. By the way..."

An Ran smiled at Wilmer: "He said he could help you advance to Grandmaster within five years. Could it be that he's planning to sacrifice you to the demon, making you a part of the demon? That way, you'll be the demon, and the demon will be you. The demon will be a Grandmaster, and you'll be a Grandmaster too?"

Wilmer gave an awkward laugh.

But he always felt that An Ran's joke was true.

Can one become a Grandmaster within five years?

Do you think becoming a Grandmaster is like cabbage in the market? If it were that easy, why would Theodore have bothered to cause trouble? Wouldn't it have been better for him to hide for five years and wait until he became a Grandmaster before making his move?

“Theodore has disregarded our alliance and done such a harmful thing. Your Excellency ANR, please don’t let him get away with this!” Wilmer shouted.

"..."

Ibn, who was drinking water, almost spat it out.

Wow, that's hilarious, I love it!

An Ran sighed: "Although I really want to kill him right now, we don't have any evidence."

“I am the witness…” Wilmer understood halfway through his sentence, “but I guess the others won’t believe me, and even if they do, in order to maintain the internal harmony of the Nova Alliance, they will only advise reconciliation.”

Can not be done.

Wilmer then realized that this would put him in great danger.

Theodore resorted to such underhanded tactics because he lacked confidence in defeating Enron head-on, but he had no such concerns when facing the Underground.

This guy dared to sabotage Enron during the war; who can guarantee he won't retaliate against the Soviets later?

Wilmer grew increasingly panicked as he thought about it. He had experienced Theodore's power firsthand; all the masters in the Underground combined couldn't defeat him and that man in black.

Something's not right.

It looks like he's about to crash.

At this point, the only thing that could be thought of was to cling to Anran's coattails and report the matter directly to the Allied command. Once the news got out, it would have some suppressive effect on Theodore.

Wilmer's mind raced.

How can we cling to the powerful backer of the Time-Space Transcendence?

Abandoning darkness for light is the first step, but making concessions is the way to long-term success.
