Chapter 2088: Chapter 21: Such a Powerful Star Thief?

Jia Yan, within subspace, had no interest in concerning himself with this group of creatures who had defeated a roving fleet of battleships.

Winning is enough; he doesn’t care about the process.

“Yes.”

Luo Longsi and the others hurriedly responded, and in fact, they had little interest in this war, as their levels were different.

But what no one knew was that this group of defeated creatures, on the brink of annihilation before, had one signal ship that suddenly transmitted a signal to the outside world through a long-distance communication method.

Originally, they had little hope that this signal would be received quickly by nearby intelligent creatures; it was merely a last-resort measure when nothing else was available.

Yet no one expected that this signal was heard by a group of top-level Divine Emperors who were just about to arrive.

“Hmph, so you’ve confirmed that this guy is that Jia Yan, and not a single one of his subordinates is missing, all in the starfield ahead.”

“Haha, I saw it too. This guy actually brought a group of creatures with him, and the story is somewhat touching; he brought so many useless ordinary creatures for the sake of his subordinates’ families.”

In the Divine Spirit Major Domain, creatures that can offer their faith are considered good, while those who have mastered technology are essentially enemies. In Luo Longsi’s homeland, her parents led such a group of technology users, who theoretically could only offer a small amount of the power of faith.

However, these creatures, considered useless by others, were regarded as good brothers and citizens by Luo Longsi’s parents, perhaps explaining why they raised someone like Luo Longsi.

“Anyway, since we’ve confirmed Jia Yan’s location, let’s hurry over to capture or hunt him. If an entire group of top-level Divine Emperors lets him escape, it would be a joke. They’re cleaning up the battlefield now, so this is the perfect time for us to advance.”

This large group of God Emperor-level creatures quickly boarded their crafts and swiftly headed toward the region where Jia Yan had fought.

And next, their detectors made an even more delightful discovery for them: Jia Yan and his group had not detected them and were actively heading toward the location of this group.

“Haha, they’re probably planning to use the gravitational wave channel, and they’re coming in our direction incidentally.”

“Heh, this is like entering hell uninvited.”

Seeing this sight, each Divine Emperor creature smiled, believing that Jia Yan’s party was walking into a trap, destined to meet their end at their hands.

As the distance dwindled, the battle atmosphere between the two sides was about to erupt.

On Jia Yan’s side, they did not detect the immense Divine Emperor team until within a hundred million kilometers. Their flight speed wasn’t so fast, yet they continued resolutely toward the gravitational wave system.

On the other side, the Divine Emperor creatures sat in their super crafts, heading toward Jia Yan’s location with lightning speed, faster than Jia Yan’s small team.

When the distance reached one hundred million kilometers, Jia Yan and his subordinate creatures suddenly noticed a shadow of battleships appearing on their radar.

“What? Another craft is approaching… This speed is too fast.”

“My God, it reached such a speed, as fast as us within subspace, perhaps even faster.”

“How can this be possible?”

On Jia Yan’s side, each creature felt the imposing battleship fleet approaching.

After all, it was the approach of dozens of Divine Emperor entities, and their battleships and flight capabilities exceeded the imagination of typical Divine Spirit Major Domain creatures. Even Jia Yan, to some extent, felt a chill upon witnessing such a rapidly approaching group.

“What’s the situation? Were those star thieves calling for reinforcements earlier? No, if the star thieves could have known such entities, they wouldn’t need to be star thieves.”

Within subspace, Jia Yan and all the subordinates aboard the Adisa, were somewhat astonished, witnessing this massive fleet rapidly glide in from afar.

“Uh? They really are targeting us.”

Jia Yan, after analyzing the speed of this fleet, was momentarily dazed, as he already sensed that the arriving creatures were no easy opponents.

“You all better leave this place quickly; their target should be me.”

Jia Yan suddenly said to the creatures aboard the Adisa and to Luo Longsi’s parents outside.

“Lord? Why do you say that? Perhaps the power of this group of creatures is not as great as we think.”

“No need to say more, their power is too frightening. It’s easier for me to handle them alone.”

Jia Yan thus addressed his subordinates without further concern for them.

Jia Yan himself flew out of the subspace, and ensuring that the other side could see his figure, swiftly flew away from the battleship fleet.

“Who exactly are these people? Could they really be star thieves? But where is such a powerful group of star thieves, or… are they…”

Jia Yan first dismissed his earlier assumption that the approaching group belonged to star thieves, as creatures of such a high level would never stoop to being star thieves.

His departing silhouette naturally fell within the detection range of the powerful Divine Emperors, which surpassed Jia Yan’s subordinates’ detection methods.

“He actually flew out of the subspace on his own; clearly, Jia Yan intends to lead us away.”

“Hehe, even if it’s a trap, so what? Our primary objective is to capture this Jia Yan; engaging his ordinary battleships would be overkill, both impractical and inhumane. Let other ordinary fleets deal with his subordinates.”

“Exactly, the most critical target is Jia Yan.”

Knowing full well that Jia Yan was trying to lure them away, these creatures had little doubt and swiftly pursued Jia Yan’s fleeing direction.

“How terrifying a presence, and it doesn’t feel like it’s just one creature. Could it be… a group of Divine Emperor powers?”

“Most likely, it’s a group of Divine Emperors, and their strength is exceedingly terrifying. I reckon each one matches the top-level Divine Emperors Jia Yan recently eliminated.”

“What? They’re actually this strong? Can Lord Jia Yan truly escape with his life from them?”

“No, Lord will certainly survive. Right now, we must focus on ourselves and not waste Lord’s good intention. Hurry up now; Lord probably left to let us escape.”

“Yes, we should head to the gravitational wave channel location.”

“But the lovely Adisa…”

“Don’t worry, I still have a smidgen of power left to move a short distance. Go on, issue the orders.”

Seeing that the Adisa still had a last bit of mobility, several creatures of Jia Yan Squad quickly informed Luo Longsi’s parents outside to lead the army swiftly to the gravitational wave channel location for escape.

Without mentioning the departure of the squad members, back to Jia Yan who had left the original location.

“Surely a God Emperor has sent Divine Emperors to pursue me. They think highly of me. As we draw closer, I can increasingly sense their strength, each reaching such levels…”

As Jia Yan fled while observing the strength of the creatures behind, the more he looked, the more he smiled wryly.

Each of these pursuing creatures’ powers he viewed matched the strength of the three top-level Divine Emperors he had neutralized earlier, exceeding his imagination.

“But do you really think that sheer numbers will suffice against me?”
