Background
Yarja was raised in Vita City’s slums. As a child, he entered Luofan Academy but could not graduate because he failed its practical assessment. His examiner, Moni, became frustrated that he evaded her attacks for half an hour, used her full strength in violation of the rules, and had him declared unqualified for being “timid and fearful of combat.” 61 76
The academy’s refusal to reconsider the result left him without a diploma for seven years. His parents’ disappointment and his mother’s subsequent death from illness drove him toward revenge. He exposed Moni’s scandals, forcing her resignation, survived an assassination attempt, and resolved to earn money, reach Saint Tier, and retaliate against Moni’s family. 75 76
His unusual ability profile began with a supposedly ordinary Tier 1 Scavenger Beetle extract purchased from his fellow slum resident Draco. Rather than gaining an offensive skill, Yarja acquired the anomalous Void ability. Subsequent extracts repeatedly granted him survival and escape skills instead of offensive ones; Liu Wenyin later concluded that his genes had likely been modified by a high-level Evolution Substance or bloodline crystal. 61 134 303
Appearance
Yarja is a thin, dark man in his early thirties, recognizable for his prominent large front teeth and broad grin. 61 284 459
- Frequently carries livestreaming equipment while exploring dangerous areas. 48 62
- Uses a shovel as his preferred conventional weapon in close combat. 282 283
- Often wears his Tier 4 Explosion Gloves when expecting a fight. 282 284
Personality
Yarja is outwardly cheerful, opportunistic, and highly responsive to financial incentives. Suze first gains his cooperation by becoming his top livestream supporter, and Yarja readily prioritizes a meal with his “big brother” over a valuable Saint Tier battle broadcast when he fears the gifts may be reclaimed. 59 60
Despite his streamer persona, he is alert in danger. He may appear reckless while investigating dangerous terrain, but he remains focused on escape routes and knows when a threat exceeds his ability to handle. 67
He is deeply sensitive about his parents and his slum background. Insults toward his family can provoke rare outbursts of anger, while Moni and Mosang remain the central targets of his long-held resentment. 75 129 272
Yarja is fiercely loyal to Suze. He repeatedly places himself between Suze and danger, reserves his resurrection ability for Suze, and measures his own growth by whether he can share more of Suze’s burdens. 127 299 341 459
Abilities & Skills
Void
A bloodline-derived skill that decomposes Yarja into particles smaller than cells, making him nearly impossible to perceive, restrain, or attack for a limited duration. Its true origin is half of the Dream Butterfly of Creation’s inheritance. 131 355
- Passes through gaps in soil, matter, and even between biological cells. 131
- Initially could only affect Yarja himself; after completing the divided golden bloodline crystal, it could bring others into the void state with him. 309 316
- Allows infiltration through heavily sealed structures, including the central vault of the emerald spaceship. 316
- Cannot be detected even by Legendary mental power or Suze’s perception tendrils while fully active. 316
- Has a limited duration and originally lacked offensive capability. 131
Evasion and Survival Techniques
Yarja specializes in mobility, disengagement, and surviving attacks that would kill most Evolvers.
- Earth Evasion — Burrows through terrain for travel, pursuit, combat repositioning, and escape. 60 127
- Water Escape — One of his high-quality survival skills. 69
- Lightness Skill / flight — Enables rapid aerial movement and vertical repositioning. 69 110
- Steel Cocoon — Produces a golden cocoon that can shield nearby allies from large-area attacks, though sustained force can break it. 69
- Double-sided Tortoise Shell — Forms a durable shell from his ribs around his torso, allowing him to endure attacks while moving targets into environmental hazards. 130
- Tail Severance Survival — Lets him abandon damaged body parts to regenerate, later evolving to the point that he can discard an entire body and reform elsewhere in peak condition. 127 383
- Flawless Shield / Invincible — Grants a brief period of absolute invulnerability; its later rule-based form can withstand attacks from a Sun God, though it cannot counter weapons that sever rules. 223 409
Shadow Clone
An A-grade skill absorbed from the Tier 4 Abyssal Shadow Lord extract. It creates a shadow duplicate that can serve as a decoy, scout, or escape anchor. 132 134
- Switches Yarja’s position with that of the clone for instantaneous repositioning. 219 283
- Lets him split escape routes, making pursuit of his true body extremely difficult. 132
- Can bypass some environmental hazards, such as the Dice of the Gods’ mental-pressure path, though the trial prevented a direct swap across its full length. 219
Flesh and Blood Statue
A resurrection skill obtained from a Tier 5 Fly-type Exotic Beast extract. 299
- Creates a resurrection point from the target’s flesh, hair, and a portion of their soul. 299 301
- Yarja chooses to reserve his own resurrection opportunity for Suze rather than himself. 299
- Successfully turns Suze’s clone into a flesh-and-blood statue inside the Mother Tree’s spaceship. 301
- Is physically taxing to use and leaves Yarja exhausted. 301
Defensive Support
Although he lacks conventional attack skills, Yarja can provide direct protection in battle.
- Forms a bone shield from his own arm to block corrosive attacks, then uses Tail Severance Survival to discard the damaged limb and regenerate it. 127
- Uses his mobility and defensive skills to lure stronger exotic beasts away from Suze. 127
- Can stall opponents far above his level long enough for Suze to complete decisive actions. 409
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Explosion Gloves — Tier 4 Wonder Item that plants an explosive bomb on anything Yarja touches. 282
- Shovel — A special-material ordinary weapon obtained from an alien spaceship; durable enough to damage a Tier 4-material saber. 282 283
- Livestreaming equipment — Used for outdoor broadcasts, including high-risk exploration and major Evolver battles. 48 62
- Scavenger Beetle — Kept as a “little darling”; Yarja collected dung and gene fragments to support its evolution. 131 144 162
Relationships
- Suze — Initially his wealthy top supporter, later his closest partner and “big brother.” Yarja guides, protects, and fights alongside him, while Suze supplies resources and supports Yarja’s growth and revenge. 59 127 272 459
- Liu Wenyin — Investigates Yarja’s unusual genes and proposes that his anomalous skills may originate from a bloodline crystal. 134
- Moni — Former Luofan Academy examiner whose abuse of the graduation assessment prevented Yarja from graduating; one of the main targets of his revenge. 76
- Mosang — Moni’s brother and a Luofan Academy student-union executive who continued preventing Yarja from receiving his diploma. 75
- Draco — Fellow Vita City slum resident who sold Yarja the Scavenger Beetle extract connected to his Void inheritance. 303
- Mother Tree — Provides the protected spaceship environment where Yarja and Suze train, evolve, and construct Suze’s resurrection statue. 273 301
Story Role / Major Arcs
Outdoor Streamer and Escape from Black Rock Mountain Range
Yarja first becomes known as a daring outdoor streamer who films dangerous Evolver and exotic-beast events. Suze meets him through his broadcast, uses expensive gifts to secure his cooperation, and relies on Earth Evasion to leave the Black Rock Mountain Range. 48 59 60
Fan River and Luofan Academy
He accompanies Suze along the Fan River, contributes to hunts and reconnaissance, and guides Suze through Luofan Academy during the search for Liu Wenyin and Aunt Yun. The academy visit forces him to confront Mosang and abandon any remaining hope of recovering his Luofan diploma. 65 67 73 75
Thousand Hero Tomb
As Suze’s support specialist, Yarja helps defeat the Gravity Demon, protects Suze during extract absorption, and uses his survival skills to eliminate stronger opponents through terrain and Cave Spiders. 127 130
Dice of the Gods Trial
Yarja joins Dongli’s Dice of the Gods team as a protector valued for survivability beyond other Butterfly Transformation Stage candidates. He persists through the first trial by surviving until time expires, reaches a perfect clear in the second trial using Void, and gains Flawless Shield from a Tier 4 Fly-type extract. 208 214 219 223
Saint Tier, Revenge, and the Church of Evolution
After reaching Saint Tier Overlord, Yarja accompanies Suze back to Luofan Kingdom and completes his revenge against Moni and Mosang’s side. He later helps purge Church of Evolution fugitives, earning the public nicknames “God Slayer Assassin” and “God Dread.” 273 286 321
Void Inheritance
Yarja discovers that Void is incomplete and tied to a divided golden bloodline crystal. After absorbing the missing half, he completes the skill and gains the ability to take others into the void state. Its deeper origin is eventually identified as half of the Dream Butterfly of Creation’s inheritance. 304 309 316 355
Cosmic Expansion
Yarja continues advancing from Supreme to Moon God and then Ancestor God. He aids Suze in interstellar operations, recruits humans for Ze Star, gathers intelligence on the Original Race, and receives captured top-tier Ancestor Gods to accelerate his growth. 341 422 424 459
Notable Quotes
“I, Yarja, am determined to become the first Saint Tier of the ‘self-preservation’ type in the six nations!” 61
“Boss, I plan to reserve this resurrection opportunity for you to use.” 299
Trivia
- Yarja’s livestream audience originally knew Suze only as his anonymous, extravagantly wealthy top supporter. 59 65
- He repeatedly receives survival-oriented skills from extracts, even when the extract contains stronger offensive options. 61 134
- His refusal to use a conventional weapon in favor of a shovel earned him the “Shovel Assassin” label. 282 283
- His completed Void skill is so effective that Suze later uses Instant Simulation to imitate it in combat. 314 383
