Colonial Suit

Jimmy Jia... Top floor. [ ]

Thump. Jiao Meng knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, his face covered in cold sweat.

He lost.

Although they hadn't even exchanged blows, he had already lost.

Lier's advanced elemental domain was too terrifying. It not only completely sealed off his **body**, but even his spirit was imprisoned. In this endless sea of flames, even with his Comet-level strength, Jiao Meng felt his own insignificance and trembled. His spirit, his will, was being burned away in the flames, like molten steel.

In contrast, Lier's will was omnipresent, like a supreme deity, coldly watching over this endless world of fire. That almost absolute oppression even made Jiao Meng think he had encountered a Stellar-level opponent, filling him with a terrible sense of powerlessness.

Before today, Jiao Meng had never imagined that he would be so weak. He had defeated countless formidable enemies in the past. But before Lier's sea of fire, he had to admit that he was old. Old enough to have learned cowardice, old enough to not even be able to muster the courage to fight.

So he admitted defeat. Simply and readily.

To survive.

With a boom, the sea of fire suddenly disappeared, and the entire room returned to its original state. Lier's figure reappeared in the void, rapidly forming from countless sparks. Looking at Jiao Meng, who was covered in sweat, her face was expressionless, as if it should have been this way all along. She just said softly, "You still have the ability to fight, why didn't you continue?"

Jiao Meng didn't answer her immediately, but gasped for breath, then looked around in surprise. "Not an illusion... This is... matter conversion?"

Lier frowned. "You still haven't answered my question."

Looking at her aggressive gaze, Jiao Meng smiled bitterly. "Although I'm a little slow, I'm not so stupid that I can't tell the situation. Someone like you, who can apply matter conversion to such an extent, is beyond my reach no matter what. I admit defeat."

"..." Lier was silent. After a while, she nodded and said coldly, "In that case, I want Sarek."

"Lier!" Jiao Meng suddenly raised his head, making a final struggle. "Aren't you afraid of the punishment from above for doing this? You are blatantly breaking the rules!"

"I know what I'm doing," Lier interrupted Jiao Meng without even raising an eyebrow. "Rules are made for the weak. Sarek can't beat you, so he should obey your rules, and since you admit defeat, you must obey my rules!" "You..." Jiao Meng was speechless.

Looking at his surprised expression, Lier remained indifferent. After a while, she said in a deep voice.

"Moreover, I didn't come here today, nor did I fight you. Everything is just your personal behavior. Sarek accidentally injured a teammate. This mission is considered a failure, and the reward is paid to the guy he injured."

"What!?" Jiao Meng was shocked and couldn't believe his ears.

He knew exactly what Lier's words meant. This was clearly Lier's concession, and it was made when she had the absolute upper hand. But why would she do this? Didn't she know that this would be the same as giving away Sarek's hard-earned mission for nothing? How unfair would that be to Sarek?

No, she knew. But she still wanted to do it.

Looking at Lier's cold face, Jiao Meng suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

But no matter what, following Lier's words would only benefit Jiao Meng himself.

No one would know that he had lost to a newly emerging Star Pirate today, so his reputation would be unharmed. This made the disheartened Jiao Meng feel a surge of excitement.

He slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and finally nodded to Lier. "I understand. This matter ends here."

"Very good." Lier gave Jiao Meng one last deep look, then turned into countless flying sparks and disappeared from the room.

An hour later, she walked out of Jimmy Jia's gate with Sarek. She was still wearing that snow-white fur coat, but the expression on her face had returned to indifference. Behind her, the tall Sarek followed closely, still wearing that set of armor like a steel giant. Only the blood-red cloak was tattered, hanging behind him like rags.

Sarek's body was straight, but if anyone looked closely, they would find that his body was trembling almost imperceptibly. Even in the gaps of that shiny armor, there were faint bloodstains seeping out. Every step he took was slow and firm, but in reality, he needed all his strength to complete it. A little relaxation and he might fall.

But despite this, Sarek still followed Lier step by step, silently like a machine.

Lier walked in front, and he followed behind. They walked out of Jimmy Jia and out of everyone's sight. Lier suddenly stopped, raised her head, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Sarek!" "My Lord!" Sarek knelt on one knee with a thud, lowering his head to Lier's face.

"Do you know where you went wrong this time?" Lier didn't even look at him, still staring at the white clouds in the sky, her tone indescribably erratic.

"I..." Sarek was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I don't know, please punish me, my Lord." His tone was heavy, as if he felt guilty about this matter. After all, he was the first mutant awakened by Lier. Lier was like a god to him. But he had implicated Lier in this matter, and even almost brought the entire mutant world into danger. What a great sin this was for the proud him? And in the end, Lier was forced to take action herself. At this moment, Sarek really wished he had died in the hands of that Comet-level opponent, which would have been better than this pain that went straight to the heart.

Looking at his lowered head, Lier seemed to have already known what he was thinking. Not only did she not punish him, but she sighed softly.

"Your mistake is that you think too much."

"Huh?" Sarek was stunned. What did that mean?

"You are the first warrior I awakened, and I bestowed upon you the glory of a Prince," Lier said quietly without looking at Sarek. "From the beginning, I wanted you to have an indomitable spirit, just like we rose from the ruins. But you disappointed me in this matter."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I..." Sarek lowered his head, not knowing how to answer Lier.

What was he afraid of? Of course he wasn't afraid of anything. He was Sarek, the mutant Prince Sarek! The strongest warrior by Lier's side. From the moment he awakened, he existed for Lier's conquest. He was a man born for slaughter. What was there to be afraid of?

"If you're not afraid, then why did you let that Star Pirate go? You only severely injured him?"

"..." Sarek lowered his head, like a silent statue.

"We mutants are a race that came out of disaster. We don't need anyone's pity, and we don't need to be afraid.

You must always remember that we were able to get out of that ruined world, not because we are so powerful, but because we have an indomitable belief and the courage to face it," Lier said with her back to Sarek, her voice soft but full of strength.

"What if the opponent has power? What if someone is backing them?" Lier looked at Sarek again and said lightly. "Defeat them! Destroy them! That's what you, as the mutant Prince, my deputy, only need to do."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Yes, my Lord!" At this moment, Sarek finally understood.

Lier wasn't blaming him for being weaker than others, but for worrying too much and losing his indomitable spirit. Looking at Lier's indifferent back, Sarek felt a flame burning in his heart, as if even his body was burning. His huge and burly body was even straighter, like a javelin.

Yes! He was wrong, but he was Sarek. What if he was wrong, he could change! The Lier in front seemed to feel the change in his mood, and her tone gradually softened.

Finally, she turned her head and looked at him carefully.

"How is your body?" "Please rest assured, my Lord," Sarek replied in a low voice. His tone was as firm as a rock. "I can still fight for my Lord! I will not retreat!"

"..." Lier looked at Sarek quietly for a while, then sighed softly.

"Your personality is so much like someone else. I just wonder who it is that I can't remember. Forget it... don't push yourself too hard. That's not good for you or the race."

As she spoke, without any sign, a ball of blood light suddenly condensed in her left hand. In the blink of an eye, it formed a round blood ball, which Lier pressed into Sarek's〖body〗.

Feeling the power of his whole body restored to its original state in an instant, Sarek was stunned.

"Blood energy..."

"My Lord, how can you give me your own blood energy? What about your body?"

"You don't have to worry about my affairs," Lier shook her head and turned away without looking at Sarek again.

"Now the race needs strength. Your body can't be damaged. Go, return to the race immediately. I think we will encounter trouble soon."

"Yes!" Sarek agreed habitually, then was stunned. "What about you, my Lord?"

"I can't leave yet," Lier interrupted Sarek and quietly looked at the Jimmy Jia tower in the distance, her voice as light as the wind.

"Some things always have to be finished, otherwise there will be endless troubles." "My Lord?" Sarek was puzzled, but after looking in the direction of Lier's gaze, he immediately understood.

It turned out that Lier didn't intend to let go of that Comet-level opponent. Instead, she was waiting here to find an opportunity to kill him! Everything before was just to cover people's eyes. After that Jiao Meng solved this matter, it would be Lier's time to strike.

This was Lier, the bloody Queen of the Mutants!

Sarek only felt a burst of heat in his heart, and immediately gave a respectful salute, got up and strode away. But he never looked back again.

Behind him, Lier looked at the Jimmy Jia tower, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"What should be faced, always has to be faced, doesn't it? Let's use you as the cornerstone of my race's growth..."

"You should feel honored."

"Jiao Meng."!.
