226: Chapter 226 The Logic of the Venusians

Gao Yuan was stunned; he had never expected that these Venusians had come to surrender.

Why?

He had never thought that aliens would fight just like people used to on Earth—surrendering if they saw the other side's power was overwhelming.

"My King is willing to offer Venus to Your Excellency, the Commander of the Third Planet!"

"How many kings do you have?"

"We have only one eternal King... He is omnipotent. He told us that you are the true King of the Sun, and he is willing to follow you and fight together!"

Pfft...

Gao Yuan's sense of maladaptation grew stronger. These people spoke like they were from Earth's feudal era, yet they had the strength to enter space!

"Why didn't your Fire King come?"

Gao Yuan actually wanted to say that given the harsh conditions on Venus, he feared even mechas wouldn't hold up. What use was there for him to go?

Did this kind of surrender count as a victory for him?

"His Highness the Fire King did not know your attitude, so he did not dare to come!"

"Where is he now? Tell him that if he comes himself, I will believe his sincerity!"

The two Venusians glanced at each other.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we shall return at once!"

They came quickly and left just as fast!

Gao Yuan felt a bit bewildered, feeling as though the style of things was heading toward feudal conquest.

However, this was also a new experience.

He wondered how powerful these Venusians actually were.

Just as he was thinking, someone came to report that more visitors had arrived.

It was the same two Venusians from before, but this time there was an additional person with them, who had a golden gemstone on his forehead.

"Are you the Fire King?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Are you the Third Planet Commander?"

"It's me!"

"Haha, I am the Fire King! I've finally met you!"

As he spoke, the Fire King looked at Gao Yuan a few times and suddenly flew into a rage, pointing at the robot Gao Yuan: "You lied to me? You aren't..."

With a stomp of his foot—bang—a steel plate over two meters thick was actually stamped with a footprint by this Fire King.

Gao Yuan was shocked. This is what you call a person?

And how did he see through the fact that the robot wasn't him?

"Since Your Excellency the Commander lacks sincerity, I shall leave! We can only fight!"

Gao Yuan finally stepped out; it was better not to fight if it could be avoided.

"Fire King... I was just testing your eyesight. Someone who can't even distinguish between real and fake is not qualified to see me!"

Gao Yuan spoke, mimicking the Fire King's tone.

This time, the Fire King looked Gao Yuan up and down, then suddenly burst into loud laughter, the sound actually making the warship tremble.

"It's you... It's you!"

Gao Yuan had a look of confusion. How was he so sure it was him?

Could it be he knew something?

Gao Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility Gao Qiu had mentioned before: perhaps every civilization has a Space-Time Gate that can lead to other dimensions!

Could this Fire King be such a person?

Gao Yuan decided to test it out.

"Fire King, let's talk..."

"Just as well, I have something to say to you too!"

"Then follow me!"

Mo Yun was afraid Gao Yuan would be harmed by the Fire King. Although he looked small, the scene just now proved the strength of the Venusians! Their tiny bodies contained infinite power!

"Marshal, you can't be alone with him. What if..."

Gao Yuan smiled. On his own turf, he had the Protective Sphere on his wrist, the cloaked Armed Self-Defense Reconnaissance Drone behind him, and he could perform a space-time jump at a critical moment...

What did he have to fear?

"It's fine, trust me!"

"But..."

"No buts. Prepare a banquet for His Highness the Fire King!"

...

They arrived at a private room.

Only Gao Yuan and the Fire King were inside. The Fire King was only slightly taller than Gao Yuan's calf; sitting on the sofa now, he was completely out of sight.

With an atmospheric pressure over ninety times that of Earth, scarce oxygen, and temperatures that could melt steel—anyone who could survive in such an environment was a god...

Gao Yuan didn't dare underestimate this Fire King in the slightest.

"Your Highness Fire King, now that it's just the two of us, we can speak openly!"

"Of course. We are the same kind of people—no, you are stronger than us!"

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"You are a Complete Being!"

Gao Yuan's mind was full of doubts. What was a Complete Being... He didn't understand, but this Venusian clearly knew much more than he did.

"Is that so? How do you know?"

"It's simple. I can't detect any fluctuations from your body! As long as you wish, you can pass through any object, can't you? In this three-dimensional world, you are a god; you could even walk into the sun!"

*Hiss...*

Gao Yuan sucked in a breath of cold air. What on earth was he talking about? How come I didn't know?

I can freaking pass through any object?

I didn't even know that myself.

But at that moment, with a thought from his divine sense, he reached out his hand and it passed right into the coffee table in front of him.

Gao Yuan paused for a moment. He stood up, walked toward the wall, and passed right through it without any obstruction.

At this moment, Gao Yuan was dazed.

What the...

I've been a god all along.

I actually didn't know before. He held his head, wanting to cry but having no tears.

If it hadn't been for this big-headed Venusian doll, he didn't know how much longer he would have been kept in the dark. With a thought, this time he wanted to hit the wall...

Sure enough, with a *thud*, he slammed into the wall...

With another thought, he passed right through. It was completely at his whim.

Gao Yuan really wanted to cry. He had this ability, yet he had lived such a miserable life for the past twenty years? With this ability, why would he have struggled for anything? He could do whatever he wanted! And yet... he had lived as a mortal for over twenty years with the status of a god.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan wanted to cough up blood. Had he really never once thought he could pass through walls in twenty years?

Or had he thought about it but never actually tried?

"Your Excellency Commander, you seem very excited..."

The Fire King said.

Gao Yuan wasn't just excited; he wanted to hit someone... Gao Qiu, Gao Gan, why the hell didn't you tell me? Playing me for a fool, right? Even an alien knew; Gao Yuan didn't believe Gao Qiu didn't know!

"Your Excellency Commander, you..."

"I'm fine, keep talking!"

"You are a Four-dimensional being living in a three-dimensional world! At most, we are Three-Dimensional Beings who possess a portion of four-dimensional rights! So we are different!"

"You only confirmed it when you saw me, right? Then why did you surrender before you saw me?"

Gao Yuan had calmed down now; saying anything was useless! The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He had missed so many opportunities—so many goddesses, so much money... Unfortunately, he lacked for nothing now.

The Fire King paused: "Because I knew there must be a Complete Being in the Solar System, because this Complete Being is the true experimental subject! A Complete Being must be the leader of a certain civilization! I am not... I suspected it was Mercury, but now the Mercurians are gone; I suspected it was the Jovians, but the Jovians are gone; I suspected it was the Martians, but the Martians are gone... Clearly, none of them were..."

"If it wasn't you either, then it would be Neptune... or Uranus, or Jupiter! In short, someone definitely is!"

Uh, there was nothing wrong with that logic!
