The tall stature of the Auster strongman in the sky and the long slim spear he held in his hand announced his identity!
A flash of terror crossed Jia Yan’s compound eyes.
However, he quickly regained his composure, at least on the surface.
Deep within, a storm was brewing.
At this time, the Auster Gun God, possibly the strongest individual on this Grey-Yellow Star, had descended. Jia Yan couldn’t even imagine what his next move would be!
"Auster Gun God — Lord Otto, greetings!" Jia Yan forced himself to stay calm, then softly spoke. Thanks to his recently boosted power, he could precisely transfer his brainwave power to the man above.
His brainwave power, though a bit crude to the man above, still showed him to be formidable.
A flicker of surprise crossed Otto’s eyes.
"Lord Otto, may I ask the reason for your presence amidst this small skirmish? Surely, you are not interested in our petty quarrels?" Jia Yan put on a braver face, refusing to show any hint of weakness.
The man was indeed a formidable opponent, but Jia Yan was not afraid!
He was an evolving monster, which gave him an edge over the experienced veterans. Jia Yan had many tricks up his sleeve!
Not only the Bluish Defense but also his strong endurance, rapid recovery ability, and combat learning ability. With these, Jia Yan was a match for any opponent!
Since Otto hadn’t attacked immediately, Jia Yan understood that there were other considerations at play. As Daphne had alluded, every move of an interstellar power implicated the norms of interstellar civilization. So, even if they were on the battlefront, they would not directly engage the Earth Army!
"Lord Assassin, while it’s generally against my principle to interfere, it ultimately depends on your actions. If I need to step in... I definitely will!" Otto’s voice was indifferent, but his sheer presence was overwhelming, completely overpowering Jia Yan.
The Earth Army around remained oblivious of this standoff. They were at the Heavenly Peak, just a small step from being star space tier, yet this small step was like the difference between heaven and earth, likely to share the same fate without Jia Yan’s intervention.
"Oh? Lord Otto, under what circumstances would you intervene?"
Jia Yan’s compound eyes sparkled as he looked at Otto, filled with a dangerous light. Even if Otto were formidable, he would still fight when necessary!
Lord Otto’s gaze lingered on Jia Yan’s monstrous Mosquito form for a while. Despite his vast experience, he couldn’t identify the origins of this flying monster, which surprised him.
However, his expression conveyed a sense of neglect, considering Jia Yan, though at star space level, had the aura of an early star space level power.
After all, he was among the top five strongmen of Auster!
He had slain countless star space level individuals, so why would he fear an average star space level opponent?!
"First off, you cannot interfere in the battle below; star space level involvement would be disastrous!" he said indifferently. Despite addressing Jia Yan as ’Lord Assassin’, his tone conveyed a clear disdain.
"Second, excessive killing is not permitted; otherwise, I will intervene." he continued.
"Is that all?" Jia Yan was taken aback, he expected Otto to ask for the Earth Army’s retreat.
"Yes, that’s it! As long as the Earth Army takes over Fifth City using their strength, I won’t interfere. But in two days... I will lead the Auster Army to crush your ragtag force and you, Lord Assassin! Believe me, the Auster Army is nothing like the defense force in Fifth City!"
"It’s unfortunate that Lord Otto will be our enemy. But rest assured, we will handle this. If you choose not to intervene, then please enjoy the battle. I hope our Earth Army’s performance will impress you."
Jia Yan rapidly processed various thoughts. Initially, he planned to intervene since Fifth City was a major city populated by millions, including civilian forces. Without his intervention, the Earth Army might face complications against formidable opponents.
