'Star-shatterer' smiled.
"The Xianzhou Alliance will find it difficult to spare any combat power to assist you, right?"
Ifrit nodded with a bitter smile.
The Xianzhou Alliance was constantly being watched by the Abundance followers.
The Luofu had just finished a war.
The casualties were heavy.
To deal with Zhurong, the Xianzhou was likely out of the question.
"That is correct, but do not underestimate the Galaxy Rangers."
If they didn't have sufficient strength and relied only on sheer numbers, how could the Galaxy Rangers be so high-profile in their pursuit across the universe?
Of course.
The fact that they lacked an Emanator was true.
"No, I never underestimate the Galaxy Rangers. I even believe you can kill Zhurong. However, I am personally more skilled at group combat, which is why I came here."
A large part of 'Star-shatterer's power was manifested in group combat.
Harmony was just that way.
If she had to fight alone, she would have to rely on Destruction to trade blows.
It wasn't that she couldn't fight, but her advantages would be completely unused.
It wasn't necessary.
"Then, how can we be sure that you will deal with Zhurong and not obstruct us at a crucial moment?"
'Star-shatterer' heard this and shook her head slightly:
"It's not about whether you believe me; it's about the fact that I am going to deal with Zhurong right now. If you don't follow, you'll miss the opportunity~ If you follow, then we are partners."
Ifrit was flustered by her statement.
Why would this Annihilation Gang Lord hold a grudge against her own colleague?
Just then,
a voice rang out from the starship's communication system:
"Hello, Madam Star-shatterer, I am La Mancha, a Galaxy Ranger. I am currently acting as the leader of the Rangers, organizing this hunt."
"Oh~ Finally decided to speak up? I thought you had handed everything over to Ifrit."
"I certainly trust Ifrit's judgment, but no one anticipated that an Annihilation Gang Lord would have connections with Luofu General Teng Xiao."
'Star-shatterer' smiled at this:
"The one who knows Teng Xiao is Acheron. As for me, I wasn't an Annihilation Gang Lord until yesterday."
"...That explains it."
La Mancha, on the other end of the communication, sighed.
He wondered why he had never heard the name Annihilation Gang Lord Star-shatterer.
Turns out she was newly born.
But why was there no commotion when this Annihilation Gang Lord was born?
Based on the birth of past Annihilation Gang Lords,
it always involved the destruction of an entire world, or something similar.
There should have been some news.
"So, Mr. La Mancha, do you want to cooperate?"
'Star-shatterer's tone was resolute, seeming not to care whether the other party agreed to cooperate or not.
And La Mancha gave a wry laugh:
"With Madam Star-shatterer's plan, do I have the choice not to cooperate?"
According to this person's intentions,
she didn't care whether the Galaxy Rangers agreed or not.
She was already impatient to go.
The Galaxy Rangers had been preparing for so long, gathering almost all their combat strength.
They were just waiting for someone to fire the first shot, and then all the Rangers would swarm in.
At this critical juncture,
Star-shatterer comes over and informs them that she is going in, almost like a provocation.
Could the Galaxy Rangers remain inactive at this point?
With their hot tempers, La Mancha couldn't guarantee that everyone would be unhappy about this plan.
On the battlefield, given her skill level,
if she actually attuned everyone and led them to attack Zhurong together,
who could resist that?
Regarding the attunement ability, those with firm wills could certainly resist.
But the problem was that everyone's goal was aligned—to kill Zhurong—
and this would be happening on the battlefield.
La Mancha himself didn't dare guarantee he could resist.
This woman gave the Galaxy Rangers no choice.
'Star-shatterer's smile remained unchanged.
Harmony, influenced by Destruction, would certainly not be so gentle.
Even if she couldn't attune everyone, she could unleash considerable power just by controlling a portion of the Galaxy Rangers.
"Then I'll take that as your agreement."
"Yes, I represent the Galaxy Rangers in agreeing to Madam Star-shatterer's cooperation, but I personally have one small request."
"Go ahead."
"Before the battle begins, I would like to meet with Miss Star-shatterer."
La Mancha's voice came through the communication.
'Star-shatterer' raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised:
"Aren't you worried I'll harm you? If the leader of the Rangers dies, the impact on the Galaxy Rangers would be significant."
"Hahaha~ Madam Star-shatterer is overthinking things. The shooting stars of the Galaxy Rangers will not be great because of me, nor will they fall because of me. And, I believe that the current Madam Star-shatterer would not do such a thing."
La Mancha was quite bold, and...
'Star-shatterer' didn't know how to describe it. Perhaps it was leadership charisma.
Honestly, she felt this person named La Mancha was somewhat formidable.
Wait... the Galaxy Rangers had such a person?
Why did I not remember him?
'Star-shatterer' stroked her smooth chin, thought for a moment, and realized she hadn't encountered this name in her game memories.
He was probably hidden in some remote corner, or simply wasn't mentioned.
"That's fine, but let's meet directly at Zhurong's location. I'm too lazy to travel back and forth."
"Madam Star-shatterer is indeed compatible with me, haha. I am currently on the closest world to Zhurong, awaiting Madam Star-shatterer's arrival."
The communication cut off.
'Star-shatterer' slowly stood up, preparing to leave.
That made her easy to find.
Zhurong, like the future Star-shatterer, was a military commander.
She could easily find intelligence on which world Zhurong was currently invading with a quick search.
Seeing this, Ifrit quickly said:
"Wait, Madam Star-shatterer, we will take you to the target location next."
"Why?"
"If you go alone, there's a high chance Zhurong will detect you, isn't there? Zhurong and his Legion are currently waiting for us to gather, so our small team won't attract attention."
Ifrit felt that since the initial cooperation had been established,
they needed to discuss the battle plan.
Otherwise, if Madam Star-shatterer went alone, there was a chance she would immediately start fighting Zhurong.
That would disrupt the Galaxy Rangers' plan.
It was important to remember that a group of Galaxy Rangers was currently searching for nearby Swarm entities, planning to lure them into the battle.
They couldn't just abandon that plan.
Even if they had to cancel that part of the plan, they needed to call those people back.
Ifrit briefly explained some of the Galaxy Rangers' internal plans.
Zhurong was clearly brimming with confidence, completely unconcerned by the Galaxy Rangers' small movements.
He was just waiting for the Rangers to fully assemble so he could wipe them out in one go.
'Star-shatterer' listened to Ifrit's explanation.
She felt a strange impression of Zhurong.
Which Path does this guy even target? Star-shatterer replaced him, so Zhurong couldn't possibly be Harmony, could he?
Are people from Harmony this conceited?
Confusion aside, 'Star-shatterer' outwardly agreed to Ifrit's suggestion:
"Very well, I'll join you then."
Ifrit breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this Madam Star-shatterer was agreeable.
Otherwise, if a fight broke out, it would be chaotic.
