Be that as it may,
it was still power bestowed by an Aeon.
Its magnitude far exceeded that of an ordinary Pathstrider.
And when paired with Star-shatterer's physique, which was already that of a standard Annihilation Gang Lord,
it felt like an upgrade from 1 to 1.3~1.5.
It certainly boosted her strength.
'Star-shatterer' took a moment to familiarize herself with the body.
Then she looked at Acheron:
"I need to leave now. Thank you, Mei, for standing in front of me just now."
"Heh, it was a minor thing."
Acheron smiled at 'Star-shatterer', holding her blade in her arms.
'Star-shatterer' nodded, actively resisted the power of Nihility, and guided herself out of this void.
...
Back in the cosmos.
'Star-shatterer' immediately contacted Teng Xiao, asking if the real Galaxy Rangers had contacted the Luofu.
[Teng Xiao: Yes, they have, but don't worry, they didn't seem to hold you accountable.]
[Nameless: I need to trouble you with something. Can I meet with a representative of the Galaxy Rangers?]
[Teng Xiao: Of course.]
[Nameless: Oh, right, I've changed my identity now. Just have them use the token to recognize me when we meet.]
[Teng Xiao: ...Alright.]
Teng Xiao, sitting in the General's seat, looked at the message Baiming sent.
He smiled helplessly.
He didn't know why this Miss Baiming insisted on constantly changing her identity.
So, Teng Xiao opened the communication channel for the Galaxy Rangers who had recently visited the Luofu.
Actually, when the Galaxy Rangers came to the Luofu a few days ago, they intended to invite Acheron to participate in a major undertaking.
The Galaxy Rangers were gathering and preparing for this event.
Naturally, Teng Xiao, who knew Acheron's true circumstances, politely refused, stating he couldn't contact her anymore.
But he hadn't expected Baiming to contact him proactively this time.
Did she know what the Galaxy Rangers were planning?
Teng Xiao didn't understand.
But he didn't mind helping to connect them.
...
Half a day later.
On a bustling resort planet,
'Star-shatterer' retracted the strange star-rings on her body.
Making herself look less conspicuous.
But she had slightly underestimated her own appearance and aura.
Fortunately, 'Star-shatterer' was an Annihilation Gang Lord, after all.
Even with her aura restrained, ordinary people only dared to steal glances and wouldn't approach her.
'Star-shatterer' gradually moved away from the crowd,
and found the Galaxy Ranger starship that was waiting for her on a deserted beach.
The ship's hatch opened.
A middle-aged man with brown hair stepped out of the ship. He was dressed in a way that fit the 'Ranger' aesthetic.
"Hello, Miss Star-shatterer? My name is Ifrit."
Ifrit extended his hand toward 'Star-shatterer'.
'Star-shatterer' looked up at him.
Her golden eyes stared directly at him, causing Ifrit's hair to stand on end instantly. He almost drew his gun.
"Hello, Star-shatterer."
'Star-shatterer' briefly shook his hand and let go, then said with a smile:
"I know the name. Former Nameless, stranded in the cosmos after an accident following the liberation of Penacony, unable to return. I see you've become a Galaxy Ranger. You seem to have a high reputation among the Galaxy Rangers."
Ifrit's face stiffened.
His past was indeed no secret among the Galaxy Rangers.
But how did this woman know so much?
"You flatter me. It's just that I was the closest and happened to be free. Anyway, Miss Star-shatterer, please come aboard the ship to continue our discussion."
'Star-shatterer' looked at the sweating Ifrit and felt like laughing.
But she hadn't expected Ifrit to be the one to meet her.
Following Ifrit onto the ship,
there were a few other people on board, presumably Ifrit's companions.
At the same time, 'Star-shatterer' noticed the open communication channel.
Someone else must be listening in.
"General Teng Xiao of the Luofu said that Miss Star-shatterer is trustworthy. Would you allow us to confirm the token?"
Ifrit spoke first, and 'Star-shatterer' took out the prepared tiger tally and handed it over.
After waiting for a few minutes.
Ifrit and the others' eyes had changed significantly after taking back the tiger tally.
"We apologize for our earlier rudeness, Miss Star-shatterer. Please forgive us. Now, may we ask what you require of the Galaxy Rangers?"
Ifrit apologized with a smile, offered a cup of hot tea, and then immediately asked 'Star-shatterer's purpose.
'Star-shatterer' sat in the chair and stretched slightly.
She took a small sip of tea and said:
"I plan to kill Zhurong. Do the Galaxy Rangers want to join?"
"?!?"
If not for General Teng Xiao's guarantee,
the Galaxy Rangers present would likely have turned hostile immediately.
This plan was only being prepared internally within the Galaxy Rangers, and everyone was keeping silent about it.
How did this woman know?
"Don't ask me how I know."
'Star-shatterer' tapped her finger on the table.
The power of Harmony spread out, and a strange influence permeated the starship.
A few Galaxy Rangers resisted 'Star-shatterer's connection.
But Ifrit, being both skilled and daring, accepted the attunement.
He shared a portion of his thoughts with 'Star-shatterer' through Resonance.
At the same time, he felt 'Star-shatterer's intentions were not malicious.
"This is the power of Harmony. I can make all the Galaxy Rangers act with one heart, unleashing power no weaker than an Emanator's. How about it?"
"..."
"..."
The people present were silent.
Some of them had witnessed the power of the Family.
Especially Ifrit.
He was fully aware of the effects of Harmony's power.
But.
Was this woman truly from the Family?
Ifrit remembered the look she had given him earlier.
Those golden eyes could not possibly be a manifestation of Harmony.
"Then, who exactly are you? That look you gave me earlier—a person from the Family could never have such eyes."
'Star-shatterer' laughed.
Ifrit was both brave and meticulous, no wonder he was successful.
And no wonder he was the one to contact her.
"Then, allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Star-shatterer, Annihilation Gang Lord, Star-shatterer."
Boom!
The words had just left her mouth.
Several weapons were simultaneously pointed at 'Star-shatterer'.
None of the Galaxy Rangers, apart from Ifrit, could remain seated.
They were even starting to think of their last words.
Just a few of them facing an Annihilation Gang Lord.
Could there be any outcome other than death?
'Star-shatterer' reached out.
She gently pinched a blade that was within arm's reach.
The person holding the blade was a tall young woman.
After meeting 'Star-shatterer's eyes, she couldn't help but say:
"Aren't you afraid of being hunted by the Galaxy Rangers? Or are you so confident that you don't care even if we know your plan?"
Gently pushing the blade away,
'Star-shatterer' said with a smile:
"No, I simply believe you won't attack me."
"On what grounds?"
"On the grounds that I haven't done anything wrong. The Galaxy Rangers pride yourselves on upholding kindness and justice in the universe, correct? Then, when facing someone who has done absolutely nothing, will you violate your own vows?"
'Star-shatterer' was completely unfazed by these people's defensive reactions.
The Galaxy Rangers were known for their hot tempers.
But beneath that hot temper, would Galaxy Rangers, who pursue kindness and justice, pull the trigger on an Annihilation Gang Lord who hadn't committed any wrong?
'Star-shatterer' watched the few slowly sheathing their weapons.
She received the answer she expected.
No.
