Jia Ying calmly pressed her hand down, gesturing for everyone not to worry. Then she looked at Samuel and smiled, inviting him, "You have come a long way, I must do my best as a host."
"Okay."
Samuel readily agreed, being a guest following the host's lead, and followed her through the crowd into the wooden house not far away.
The rich and fragrant scent of tea wafted gently. Jia Ying placed the teacup in front of Samuel and sat down opposite him.
Samuel tasted it and praised, "Good tea."
Jia Ying didn't respond but got straight to the point and asked, "Why have you come this time?"
"For you."
"And for all Inhumans."
Samuel said it casually, extremely nonchalantly, but Jia Ying's expression changed drastically, her brows furrowing. As expected, he is not here with good intentions...
Recalling the rumors about Samuel and Void Express, Jia Ying asked in a low voice, "How do you know about the Inhumans?"
How do I know about the Inhumans?
Samuel smiled.
"In 3500 BC, the Kree Empire declared war on the Skrull Empire, and a war that lasted for thousands of years broke out."
???
Jia Ying was stunned. I asked you how you know about the Inhumans, what are you talking about? What Kree Empire and Skrull Empire?
"Some radicals among the Kree, in order to win the war for their race, began to search for Planets with primitive life in the Universe, and used genetic technology there to create biological weapons."
"Some of the Kree visited Earth at this time, selected a portion of humans from around the World for modification, and called these test subjects Inhumans. The first Inhuman was created by the Maya, named Hive, and was chosen as the leader of the Inhumans."
Jia Ying's expression changed slightly. She put away her thoughts and listened carefully.
"Shortly after, the radicals among the Kree were all recalled to their homeworld, and the Inhumans were abandoned on Earth to develop on their own. Because these Inhumans feared Hive's power, they used the technology left by the Kree to banish him to a distant Planet."
"Hive's followers who remained on Earth, in order to rescue their leader, established a secret organization in human society. In the future, this organization would be named HYDRA."
Jia Ying's expression changed again, her eyes filled with towering hatred!
Samuel continued as if he hadn't seen it, "The relationship between the Inhumans who remained on Earth and humans became increasingly tense. Out of necessity, the Inhumans chose to migrate to the outpost the Kree had established on the Moon."
"From then on, the Inhumans branched out. One part implemented a strict caste system on the Moon, controlling the population and practicing eugenics; the other part scattered across various locations on Earth, breaking into pieces."
Jia Ying's expression was somewhat complex. She hadn't expected Samuel to know so much about the Inhumans, especially the existence of Inhumans on the Moon. This was the first time she had heard of it!
"Are you also an Inhuman?"
Jia Ying felt that since Samuel knew so much about the Inhumans, and Void Express had many people with special abilities, it was highly likely that he was also an Inhuman and had been searching for and recruiting other Inhumans.
And this time, he had set his sights on Afterlife!
Samuel drank tea to moisten his throat and smiled, shaking his head, "I'm not an Inhuman. I just know more things and have more abilities as the Void Lord."
"With your current perspective, you cannot understand what the Void Lord means. Simply put, you can think of me as an omniscient and omnipotent—God!"
Jia Ying scoffed, "An omniscient and omnipotent God? I have never believed there are gods in this World! Even if there really are gods, if they dare to target our Afterlife, they will also come and never return!"
Since Samuel isn't an Inhuman and came here for the Inhumans, there's nothing more to say!
Jia Ying suddenly leaned forward, sneering as she grabbed Samuel's wrist.
In an instant, a surging, powerful life force rapidly poured from Samuel's body into Jia Ying's.
"I really want to know, can a God...die?!"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward drop: Life Absorption (Jia Ying)"
Although his life force was rapidly draining, Samuel wasn't the least bit flustered. He allowed Jia Ying to hold his hand and absorb his life force while calmly drinking his tea.
The sneering Jia Ying gradually felt something was wrong. She could feel that she had absorbed an extremely powerful life force, but the other party seemed completely unaffected, showing no signs of being drained of life.
Moreover, the opponent's deliberately leisurely appearance was a complete slap in her face, which made her involuntarily speed up the absorption.
And so, a moment later.
If it were an ordinary person, their life force would have been completely drained by now, perhaps even two or three people's life force would have been sucked dry, but Samuel still showed no change.
There was no sign of the graying and decline that comes with having one's life force absorbed.
Jia Ying finally couldn't remain calm: "This is impossible! How can your life force be so powerful?!"
Samuel put down his teacup. The hand Jia Ying was gripping reversed its hold and grabbed her wrist.
Jia Ying was startled and instinctively tried to break free. Just then, a familiar sensation spread throughout her body, making her tremble instantly!
"I, my life force, you're actually absorbing my life force? Impossible, this is impossible! You, how did you do it?!" Jia Ying screamed in terror, losing her voice.
Samuel spoke leisurely: "I am the omniscient and omnipotent Void Lord, of course I know all abilities! Your ability is not bad. If you didn't have this ability, you should have died when Daniel Whitehall dissected you."
"It's a pity, your physical quality is too poor. Essentially, you're just an ordinary person and cannot contain too much life force beyond your own, nor can you transfer it to others normally. So even if I let you keep absorbing, the one who dies in the end will be you."
While speaking, Samuel had already absorbed the life force Jia Ying had just taken back and began to absorb her life force.
Her face began to visibly turn gray and pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Go--Gordon!" The weak and powerless Jia Ying shouted towards the outside with all her strength.
"Whoosh--"
A brilliant blue light flashed. Gordon, wearing a trench coat, had no eyes, but his movements were no different from an ordinary person. He directly swung his fist towards Samuel's head.
This punch was powerful and heavy!
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward drop: Quantum Teleportation (Gordon)"
"Boom!"
A heavy impact sound rang out.
Samuel didn't move a muscle, a faint hint of mockery on his face. Immediately after, he heard Gordon scream behind him, covering his drooping wrist and stumbling back a few steps.
His wrist was broken!
