If victory were solely determined by size, then the largest battle pets in the arena, at thirty meters in length, should have produced some strong individuals. But why didn’t they?
Jia Yan looked down at the swarm of monsters below, knowing that he couldn’t hide his strength this time. Moreover, he didn’t know what kind of impact it would have on the situation once revealed!
However, the fact that he stood firm against a battleship attack outside the atmosphere of the Grey-Yellow Star has perhaps already had a fermenting influence. At this point, it didn’t matter whether he revealed his strength or not.
"I know what you’re after, but unfortunately.... you can’t defeat me. I’ll say this only once, retreat!"
"Otherwise, don’t blame me for the damage that will ensue!"
Jia Yan’s voice was filled with firmness, a kind of indescribable bearing emanated from him. After all, as a being of Star Space Level, Jia Yan had long surpassed his past self.
The monsters below were likely similar to the monster with the turtle shell. In a one-to-one fight, not even his former, unmutated self could defeat them, let alone his current form!?
Even if they grouped together, from the point of view of Jia Yan, who had reached the ’Star Space Level’, they were nothing more than a crowd of riffraff, not a threat at all!
"How dare you bluff so boldly!"
The monster with the turtle shell was infuriated by his words. The powerful beings beside it were incensed as well. They were, after all, entities commanding dominance in the Gold Desert. Under normal circumstances, they’d respect their alliances and wouldn’t fight, seeing themselves as lords. And yet, they were being belittled by a new, unfamiliar flying monster?!
How could they not be consumed by rage?!
"Go! Earth City is destined to fall today!"
The monster with the turtle shell roared and then floated up. Facing a flying monster was indeed a disadvantage for them, who mainly fought on the ground. However, they believed that such a disadvantage could be overcome by their superior numbers under this joint siege!
In addition, they had four flying creatures on their side and the opponent was but one individual!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!————
One by one, the terrestrial creatures, using their Brainwave Power, soared into the sky.
Over the past three hundred years, the rise of the Biochemical Empire had not only led to the spread and intensification of wars throughout the Starfield, but it also brought upon massive development for individual strong ones. Brainwave Power, during this period, had become almost a necessary skill for the strong ones, allowing these powerful beings in the Gold Desert to fly by it. The only difference was their proficiency and speed of flight.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!——————
Jia Yan stood proudly over a hundred meters high in the air, his Compound Eyes shining brightly. Looking at the monsters rising from below, he carefully counted them. There were twelve in total. Among them, seven or eight had roughly similar strength. The strongest, in his view, might be the super python reaching eighty meters in length. Additionally, two flying creatures were stronger than others.
"But to defeat me with these beings...is not enough! Far from enough!"
A sense of indifference and pride surged in his heart. Even as more than ten opponents hurtled toward him, he didn’t retreat. Rather, he dove toward them!
A thunderous roar resonated.
"He’s not taking advantage of his ability to fly to dodge the attacks, but instead counter-attacks! He’s just seeking his own death!"
Almost all the enemies below thought that Jia Yan would use his advantage in flight for a dodge-and-attack strategy. But they had four flying creatures amidst them who could effectively intercept.
They never imagined that this monster, known as ’Lord Assassin’, was not an assassin, but a being who faced attacks head-on!
The monster with the turtle shell was the first to launch an attack. This monster’s Brainwave Power was stronger than that of others. So, along with those purely flying creatures, they joined the first wave of attack on Jia Yan.
Its dual hammers opened and closed with formidable force. A strange fluctuation enveloped the hammers, which had been endowed with something similar to a Gravity System. This fluctuation didn’t pose a threat to the lives around but made its already heavy Giant Metal Hammers even heavier. If one was not careful and got struck by its swift attack, they could end up with broken bones and snapped muscle in a blink!
Simultaneously, other flying creatures in the same tier also prepared to attack, each aiming at Jia Yan.
Among them, a bird-like creature covered in grey feathers had faint blood-colored tips on its sharp claws. This blood color was much like that of Jia Yan’s forefoot blade-type horn, which became extremely sharp and heavy when augmented with Brainwave Power. Even a powerful war chariot couldn’t survive its clutch!
These two attacks were the most threatening.
Facing these two attacks, Jia Yan surprisingly raised his slender beak and lunged with an unusual use of his mouth needle, toward the attacking bird-like monster!
The mouth needle in Jia Yan’s mouthpiece was perhaps the sharpest part. However, Jia Yan of old didn’t think his mouth needle was sturdy enough, hence rarely used it against enemies.
But things were different now. During his self-adaptation mutation, he felt that his mouth needle may not need to rely on its feeding function as before. Therefore, he decided to develop it as a means of attack to the fullest!
So, much like his forefoot blade-type horn, he coated the mouth needle with layers of Azure Material.
Now, as it shot out like a shell, stretching to a length of ten meters, it left the bird-monster in shock!
