Chapter 2555 - 23: The Queen’s Ambition
Even before the objects flew out one by one, there was a deafening roar.Thirty or forty figures, blazing with flames like ’Flame people’, surprisingly climbed out amidst the volcano’s roar.
They staggered, crawling while emitting fire, and gradually their bodies solidified, transforming into rock-like beings, flying to the castle where Jia Yan and the others were.
Moreover, these Flame people picked up flying pots, plates, and dishes, holding them properly and entered the castle.
"This!?"
Jia Yan was completely stunned by the scene before him.
He turned back to look at the female, akin to a beautiful Earth woman on the opposite side, almost speechless.
Because the terrifying ability demonstrated by her exceeded Jia Yan’s imagination.
Creating dishes out of thin air was one thing, but altering the materials of the volcano and the ground at an atomic level made it possible to create other objects.
But creating a form of life was something Jia Yan found hard to accept; wasn’t this akin to a Divine Spirit?
"Haha, you need not be surprised. They are not true life forms, much like the computers of your Earth; I merely programmed certain procedures into their minds. Although these beings can survive for some time, they do not have the potential to form a species."
The female opposite seemed unsurprised by Jia Yan’s shock because when she does these things, it’s rare for anyone not to be astonished.
"Respected Master, this gentleman, your dishes have arrived."
A few Flame Stone People walked into the castle where the two were, then picked up the dishes and placed them on the table.
In fact, Jia Yan was so overwhelmed that he did not know how to speak with the other party.
Earlier, he used his avatar to control stones to build a magnificent castle, which was already his limit with just an avatar. But compared to the other party who effortlessly creates dishes, and then a scene with servants similar to life, this was much inferior.
For Jia Yan, this was a kind of blow.
It meant that compared to the other party, his creation ability was far weaker.
Even though Jia Yan was told by the queen that these ’life forms’ she created were akin to programmed entities, being able to create such terrifying beings in a short time was still unimaginable for Jia Yan.
"Alright, let’s have a chat."
The Insect Clan queen took a bite of the dish that was brought up; in fact, these dishes were of her own preferred flavor, so naturally delicious.
Jia Yan also tentatively tasted the so-called dishes. In fact, if not for seeing them created amidst flames, Jia Yan would have thought they were exquisite delicacies rather than creations.
"Hmm? There’s such immense power inside..."
After taking a bite, Jia Yan felt an energy burst within his avatar, indicating that the energy contained within was unimaginably terrifying.
Having fallen so far behind, Jia Yan, through this scene, realized clearly that the strength difference between himself and the Insect Clan queen was vast. Earlier he thought, even if the Insect Clan queen herself came, his true body could escape. But now it seemed, even against the queen’s avatar, whether his true body could prevail was uncertain.
After all, their means were quite different; the other party had the combat experience and ability of a Territory Master; even with just the strength of River Among the Stars Early Stage, Jia Yan was also at the River Among the Stars Early Stage. When it came to means, although his Yin-Yang Dao was quite magical, the other party did not lag behind, and might even be seen as more profound.
"Queen, regarding the matter of you possessing me before, I initially thought of pursuing it with you, but at the last moment, you voluntarily stepped away and helped me once. Therefore, I believe we owe each other nothing. I wonder, what brings you to Orion’s Arm this time?"
Jia Yan ate two more pieces of the dish and took a sip of what would explode even a Venerable Level strong one by energy, then put down the glass and asked.
The other party took another sip of wine but didn’t immediately answer.
She ate another bite of the dish in front of the table, then lightly raised her head to scrutinize Jia Yan’s avatar.
"To be honest, back then, I once had an Expeditionary Army helping the fringe forces of the Biochemical Star Region attack your Orion’s Arm purely on a whim. But for this matter, I now wish to express my apology to you, the nominal lord of Orion’s Arm."
"No need, initially we were not acquainted, and at that time, I was not really any kind of strong one. In the Universe, the principle of survival of the fittest applies, so there’s no need for apologies."
Jia Yan waved his hand, for at that time it wasn’t Earth people under attack; the other Orion’s Arm civilizations hadn’t allied with him, so he naturally didn’t care.
Without that war, he wouldn’t have reached his current level, meaning the other party helped him instead.
"Ha, alright, then let me explain the reason for my visit this time."
The queen noticed Jia Yan had no intention of pursuing and wasn’t particularly surprised since it’s a given. Even if Jia Yan wanted to pursue, she wouldn’t give him face; it’s impossible for such a prominent Insect Clan queen to bear responsibility or make compensation.
