Chapter 2636 - 13: Assassin!
However, the other side has been fighting for so long but hasn’t used it, indicating this secret weapon is something that even they are reluctant to use easily. Perhaps once used, their body may have a huge reaction, possibly facing severe injuries, which is why they haven’t used it till now.And this secret weapon is also something Jia Yan knows is the biggest variable in this war.
If he is killed or severely injured, the outcome of the war may need to be rewritten. No matter how well the battles in other parts of Orion’s Arm are fought or how impressive they are, once this mid-tier galactic creature joins the fight, even the best situation will be useless, as it will instantaneously cause the Orion’s Arm Army to retreat in defeat, possibly even collapse.
Therefore, he is also afraid that the enemy will use their secret weapon, and he won’t be able to resist it.
"Hahaha, are you scared now? Jia Yan, to be honest, my secret weapon is something I cannot control myself; it results in self-harm. Therefore, I don’t want to use it, but since you keep chasing me, I have no choice but to use it on you. If you’re afraid of dying, you’d better move aside now, and I promise not to target Orion’s Arm anymore."
This mid-level Galaxy Existence assured Jia Yan with a sincere glimmer in his eyes.
But Jia Yan absolutely wouldn’t believe his so-called guarantee.
After all, being a strong one himself, he wouldn’t trust the other party’s false guarantees.
Especially since he knows the enemy attacks Orion’s Arm for his own power progression, so he understands that unless it’s a life-or-death situation, this mid-tier galactic creature might turn back now, but in a few days, it may come back again.
Promises mean nothing to strong ones; they are no different from idle talk, especially when it comes to the temptation of power progression. Such empty promises cannot restrain anybody.
The other party also doesn’t think Jia Yan would be deceived by him. His main reliance is on threatening with his secret weapon.
As for whether Jia Yan believes his guaranteed words, he cannot be sure. But what if he doesn’t believe? Jia Yan is also in a somewhat awkward position now, as he too cannot exterminate this mid-tier galactic creature.
They have been fighting for three days; from the initial frequent ultimate moves leaving both sides a bit caught off guard, to later when both were merely fighting to kill time.
The reason is that everyone knows each other well by now. Three days and nights of fighting between Galaxy Level Powerhouses are very long for ordinary creatures but for them, it’s thousands of exchanges, with no secrets remaining; the ultimate moves have become regular techniques.
"No way, sir, let me speak frankly, your secret weapon probably can’t be used anymore, right? At this moment, you’re just using words to deceive me."
Jia Yan smiled silently and outrightly rejected the other’s words.
"Hmm? You think I’m deceiving you? Fair enough, I’ve been withholding my secret weapon, and you think I’m out of energy, right? Hehe, Jia Yan, as a senior, I can actually teach you something, which is... a strong one always reserves energy to activate their secret weapon. Some intentionally seal their power to weaken themselves, but at least in desperation, they have the energy to activate their secret weapon. Ironically, I am such a strong one..."
The mid-tier galactic creature sneered.
Next. Jia Yan abruptly felt an earth-shattering force from this mid-level Galaxy Existence.
He jumped in fright, quickly stepping back.
At this moment, Big Mosquito was radiating a brilliant blue glow all over, far more conspicuous than his previous dark appearance.
However, despite his fierce demeanor, he instantly chose to retreat, clearly showing the strength of the threat he felt from the enemy at that moment.
"Hahaha, you’re backing off; you do have a sense of crisis."
The mid-tier Galactic Lifeform didn’t actually use their secret weapon, merely showed part of their power and then continued to retreat.
Yes, using this part of power is meant to scare Jia Yan a bit, letting him know there’s indeed a secret weapon, so he can retreat more smoothly.
"This..."
Jia Yan was slightly stunned; he already knew every strong one has their secret weapon.
As for Jia Yan himself, it’s not that he lacks a secret weapon; he actually has, but he has so many secret weapons that every move feels like a secret weapon.
Take the explosive devices, for instance, or his Yin Yang Path Battle Techniques, or his Subspace Talent. Each one, if given to other strong ones, would serve as excellent bases for secret weapons. Everyone has a chance to develop these techniques into more powerful secret weapons.
Unfortunately, Jia Yan doesn’t have the time to focus on one exclusively, which leads to his greatest secret weapon being the meteor explosive.
In any case, this time he felt the necessity for secret weapons. The mid-tier Galactic Lifeform merely showed a glimpse of their aura, shocking Jia Yan into constant retreat, quickly deciding not to pursue further.
This, for Jia Yan, feels like a rather difficult reality to accept.
"Hehehe, Jia Yan, you’re quite interesting, huh? Someone merely revealing the aura of a secret weapon scares you off."
Far away, in a castle-like structure, a female Queen of the Insect Clan, resembling an Earth woman, laughed herself into a ball, extremely disdainful.
After all, for a combat-experienced strong one like her, there are countless ways to counter an enemy’s secret weapon or to evade it. So she somewhat ridicules Jia Yan for being startled and unwilling to pursue after sensing the secret weapon.
Facing Jia Yan’s avatar, Her Majesty the Queen showed a very displeased expression.
He certainly felt displeased, knowing that he wanted to perform well in this war so that the insect queen in front of him would recognize his value.
Yet now, he was laughed at by the other side here, implying his image might be tarnished.
"Your Majesty, I haven’t experienced too many strong ones’ secret weapons. May I know your insights? After all, I don’t want to get hurt."
Jia Yan thought for a moment and directly asked Her Majesty the Queen.
In the future, he would cooperate with the insect queen, so asking her something now probably isn’t a bad idea.
Moreover, this is a good point for testing; if the other party hasn’t taken interest in him, she won’t say anything.
If she speaks, it means she accepts Jia Yan’s offer, most likely.
Her Majesty the Queen looked deeply at Jia Yan and then coldly sneered.
"Well, having a secret weapon counts as exceeding your handling capability; after all, I can’t expect you to eliminate two mid-tier galactic creatures when you were in your early stage like I once did—it’s wishful thinking for ordinary creatures."
Jia Yan’s avatar frowned and felt somewhat displeased.
After all, he considers himself a genius, even an unprecedented one. Now knowing the insect queen is more of a genius counts, but being straightforwardly told this face-to-face feels a bit humiliating.
However... there’s plenty of time ahead; he just lacks experience and hasn’t walked the path firmly.
Furthermore, though the Queen of the Insect Clan eliminated two mid-tier Galaxy Existences in her early stage, she did so at the peak of the early stage. Jia Yan’s current prowess hasn’t reached the pinnacle of the early stage, so he still has opportunities in the future.
Seeing Jia Yan not pleased, the insect queen decided not to ridicule him further.
"A secret weapon, every Galaxy Level Powerhouse will study it. In essence, it’s developed because they deeply feel the need to master a powerful combat technique. But a secret weapon is merely a generic term; in reality, every strong one’s secret weapon is unique. As for the ways to counter such secret weapons..."
"It’s difficult to say, but actually quite simple. The key lies in four words—targeted solution!"
