Huoyan is an Alchemist of the second True Name lineage of ancient Creators. He can reliably create second-tier alchemical creations and can even produce third-tier alchemical creations, while the other two at the gathering are only first True Name alchemical researchers, struggling to create even second-tier alchemical creations. This is what sets Huoyan apart as superior.
Ethan's needs are quite simple for his own gun; one is to have enough power, and the other is a high bullet capacity. It would be best if it had infinite bullets.
Of course, the possibility of infinite bullets is likely very low.
Otherwise, Huoyan wouldn't be stuck here doing this.
