Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

Chapter 1110: Chapter 41: End of the Farce? [First Update]

”Hard assault?” Jia Yan was keenly aware that these high-tier star-level creatures wouldn’t fear him. At that moment, a flash of brilliance sparkled in his Compound Eyes as his body fearlessly charged towards the five monsters.

”Jia Yan, when facing five opponents of the same level, the way you fight must be more rational. Five of the same level isn’t simply adding one to the other—there’s definitely a huge boost in their strength. However, facing multiple adversaries is a situation you must confront. I hope you can make practical use of the tactics I’ve taught you to overcome them. If so, your combat power will have no significant flaws.”

The Light Shadow Monster suddenly imparted these words within Jia Yan’s body.

”Practically use the tactics I’ve just learned? I can do that.”

Jia Yan’s body twisted, as he became faintly invisible in midair.

At that moment, the first monster struck aggressively before him. This monster didn’t believe in Jia Yan’s combat power, and it looked vastly different from ordinary star creatures. Its body was not particularly large, only about ten-plus meters in length, and its body resembled a puddle of slime, with countless substances squirming on its surface.

Its attack involved jetting substances from within its body towards Jia Yan—substances that seemed quite unusual, as they could trigger massive explosions just by contacting the air.

This was the first time Jia Yan had encountered such an enemy type, but this did not confound him.

The Light Shadow Monster once told him that as long as it’s a living being, there would be a strong upper limit to its power. Moreover, the strongman system, as it stands, can be applied to any known species. In this starry sky, there is no star creature whose strength cannot be dominated by a stronger one. In other words, although the monster before him was bizarre, Jia Yan’s power was still effective against it.

The substance spat out by the opponent had just touched the air when it exploded right in front of Jia Yan.

A glint flashed in Jia Yan’s eyes, then his already half-submerged body sunk even deeper into the subspace.

In this subspace, everything Jia Yan saw was distorted, not just the world before his eyes, but even the explosive substances twisted as they were hurled toward him. However, unlike in ordinary space, the hurling came with endless distortion.

Jia Yan simply sidestepped lightly, and the explosive substance jetted past completely. The Light Shadow Monster had said that defense in the subspace was a minor trick. Once he reached Stellar Level, he might be able to comprehend a completely genuine subspace defense. By then, let alone the attack of a lower-level strong one, even the attack of a stellar existence could potentially be evaded.

The explosive monster clearly hadn’t expected that Jia Yan would so easily evade injuries from its attack. Just as the Light Shadow Monster had told Jia Yan—while the explosive monster knew its ability might startle an expert upon the first encounter, an expert remains an expert. Once they recovered from the initial shock, they would always find a way to counter it.

At this moment, without waiting for Jia Yan to counterattack, the monster withdrew towards the rear, while another creature behind it began a normalized attack toward where Jia Yan might appear.

The strength of everyone was at high-space level. Even if Jia Yan’s strength surpassed theirs, it was possible that the quantity of their attacks and the utilization of their techniques could be understood by those creatures, even if they didn’t know where Jia Yan had learned them. Only Jia Yan’s ability to distort space was beyond their learning.

Right then, Jia Yan reappeared in the exact area targeted by the monster’s attack.

He had just emerged from subspace and the distortions before his eyes had not yet faded when he felt an incredible force enveloping his entire body. Jia Yan, with a grave look, swiftly stepped back, as the attack struck emptily into open space.

”The combined attack of powerful beings is truly troublesome. It seems like my strength is being evenly diffused among these guys,” Jia Yan thought, weighed down by the creatures as he looked through the distorted space.

From his perspective, the shapes of the five monsters were twisting and distorting even more grotesquely within the distorted space.

”Jia Yan, don’t rush. A true expert can not only overcome a large number of strong ones but can even turn the enemy’s numbers into their own advantage. You need to think carefully—faced with such a situation, what strategies can turn disadvantages into advantages? For instance, the larger number is a disadvantage in terms of attack, as they must be wary not to hit their allies. If I were you, you have too many advantages. I can think of a dozen ways to defeat them. Can you really not come up with even one?” the Light Shadow Monster urged gently within Jia Yan’s body.

At this point, Jia Yan’s performance seemed a bit unsatisfactory in its view.

However, perhaps the monster had not anticipated that, it being Jia Yan’s first time, he would be able to come up with a solution against multiple foes. Even now Jia Yan’s current approach, although somewhat makeshift, could still wear down the five monsters if he continued to break out of subspace.

”Turn their numerical advantage into my advantage?”

To Jia Yan’s surprise, after hearing the words of the Light Shadow Monster, his eyes lit up, reacting to its message.

”Their numbers are great, which means they have to be cautious in their attacks, and they risk hitting their own comrades if they aren’t careful. Then, I shall do this!”

Once again, Jia Yan’s figure appeared in front of the explosive monster. This time, the opponent seemed to have sensed the distortion in space, and just as Jia Yan became visible, a cluster of material appeared before him, on the verge of exploding!

”Scram!” Jia Yan’s Brainwave Power activated forcefully, flinging the cluster of material aside in an instant. Limited by the user’s reaction speed, Jia Yan had noticed that the explosive monster wasn’t as quick as himself. He could act before the monster detonated the material, using his Brainwave Power to blast it away in an instant.

The delayed material then exploded next to a high-level star space creature behind it!

”Ah!” the monster screamed in agony. Even as a high-level star space creature, its focus was entirely fixed on Jia Yan at the moment, how could it have anticipated an attack from an explosive monster? Instantly, it was wounded.

”Damnit!”

Another monster suddenly approached from the side, launching an attack directly at the newly appeared Jia Yan.

However, Jia Yan’s body abruptly transformed into a shade of bluish color!

His strength had already reached that of a starry sky high-order expert, and recently there were even subtle signs of an impending breakthrough. Hence, his control over the Bluish Defense was no longer at the simplistic level of the past.

The moment the Bluish Defense manifested, the monster’s attack struck Jia Yan, creating a noise as loud as an atomic bullet explosion, almost drowning out all other sounds in heaven and earth.

But Jia Yan’s body didn’t sustain injuries like the monster had anticipated. Instead, using the monster’s attack like lightning with its inertial force, Jia Yan arrived next to the ’Jia Yan’ who had been impersonating him.

Although the strength of this monster was also at the high-space level, it was clearly a notch lower than the other high-level star space creatures around. It hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of Jia Yan’s formidable power when it saw Jia Yan jet towards it in a single strike, revealing a trace of terror in its expression.

However, recalling its own declaration to that fake Kama about killing Jia Yan, the monster’s demeanor became grave once more. Ignoring everything, it let out a roar and charged towards Jia Yan, who was rocketing towards it, in a head-on attack!

The other’s forelimbs were also sharp, and the two monsters were of similar size; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been chosen to impersonate Jia Yan. Now, its method of attack was eerily similar to Jia Yan’s, almost to ninety percent.

”Hmph!”

Jia Yan, seeing the monster advance rather than retreat, revealed a trace of a smile, his own speed was naturally fast. And in the moment right before their encounter, his thrusting forelimb suddenly flickered!

”Ugh!”

The monster impersonating Jia Yan’s expression changed instantly.

Jia Yan’s forelimb seemed to have entered a kind of void, and to the monster’s surprise, Jia Yan’s forelimb attack suddenly accelerated in that instant.

With a ’pfft,’ the monster’s expression froze. Its strength was already not on par with an average high-level star space creature; after all, intelligence is a significant enhancement in the hierarchy of high-space level combat power, and its brain power was lacking. Naturally, its strength was at the weakest tier among the high-level monsters.

But it had never imagined that Jia Yan, whom it looked down upon, could actually be so powerful.

Previously it wanted to boast about killing the other, and when the fake Kama laughed at it, it felt indignant. Now, it seemed the joke was indeed on it...

”You...” The light in the monster’s eyes gradually faded, and in its final moments, it still sought to reach out with its forelimb, trying to touch the ’Giant Mosquito’ it had longed to become.

But Jia Yan only looked on coldly, and before the monster could reach out, he glanced at it indifferently, as if he had just dealt with a trivial matter, dodging another monster’s attack and vanishing from the spot.

”Heh...”

It really blamed itself for its lack of ability; otherwise, maybe it could have actually killed Jia Yan and taken his place, becoming a revered creature.

But then again, others are others, even if it mimicked him well, it was still someone else...

The monster, impersonating Jia Yan, let out a self-deprecating laugh before slowly losing all consciousness.

”How could Jia Yan have killed so many! How could he possibly kill a person under our siege!”

”It’s simple, he had calculated it all along. Chu was our weakest, and he wanted to start with the weakest. Be careful, this guy isn’t without countermeasures against our combined attacks. Whose combat principles did he learn from to be so comprehensive!”

The remaining four monsters understood Jia Yan’s tactics, and each of them looked at Jia Yan with unprecedented vigilance.

It had only been a few moves, yet Jia Yan had managed to kill one of them amidst their circle of five high-level star space experts.

Really...

The rumors of the incredibly powerful Outsider were indeed not false!

”Ladies and gentlemen, with the death of the one impersonating me, this farcical contract is over. Why continue to fight against me?” Jia Yan looked at the four star-level creatures surrounding him and indifferently said.
