Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Chapter 131: You Know I’m a Mecha Pilot?_2
 

“`

Even without the enhancement of Mecha Soul Fusion, he could still block the attacks of the Dragon God Monster with Boulder Form.

No matter the attack, the defense was maxed out first.

“The only problem is…”

“The enemy is too weak.”

“If Mecha Soul Fusion is activated, ordinary enemies might not even be able to touch Zero.”

The strength of the Abyss overlord in Endless Difficulty Level is related to Jiang Chen’s overall strength.

If Jiang Chen’s overall strength is entirely focused on defense…

There might arise the ridiculous situation where neither the Abyss overlord can scratch Jiang Chen, nor can Jiang Chen scratch the Abyss overlord.

Therefore, to prevent the Abyss overlord from becoming trash mobs.

Jiang Chen still needs to enhance Yun as well, to rebalance the three attributes of force, agility, and defense.

Mecha can specialize, but the body itself still needs to be hexagonally balanced.

However, Jiang Chen currently lacks suitable perfect-quality Supercharge Modules and supercharge upgrade tools.

These items can only be acquired through abyss carbon copies.

As a result, Jiang Chen’s attention returned to the Age-Old Shadow.

“Lacking Supercharge Modules…”

“Moreover, my 2nd Rank mecha pilot trait has yet to be settled…”

“Let’s try out four hundred Abyss difficulty levels first.”

Information on 150 Age-Old Shadows of Level 2 swept through his mind.

In just an instant, Jiang Chen identified his first target; his right hand rose slightly, touching the Abyss Rune.

[10,9,8…]

The surging abyss atmosphere burst forth from his palm, transforming into countless pure white fibers, pulling the body towards the sky.

Jiang Chen opened his arms and was swiftly swallowed by the vine-like structure, materializing into a red and white biological Mecha.

[Age-Old Reappearance, Shadow Unquenched.]

[Welcome to the Abyss.]

…

[Current Location: Demon’s Descent]

[Level: 2]

[Difficulty: Abyss]

[Objective: Kill the final boss: Darkness She-Host.]

[Description: The demons descend upon the world, civilization perishes, and the demon army from the Void turns the world to scorched earth.

Through the refinement of life force energy, the demon army is nourished, and within their nest the Darkness She-Host has finally been born.

She dominates this burning land, drawing power from the endless Magic web.

Awaiting the call from the Legion.]

[Friendly Reminder: Free exploration, you can exit the Abyss at any time (one minute preparation time required).]

The planet, on the brink of perpetual combustion, has completely turned to jet black.

In the distance, the wails of tormented spirits can be faintly heard.

They will serve as fuel for the Magic web until their souls are exhausted.

On this scorched land like charred embers.

The rift opens, and the red and white Mecha gently lands, hovering in mid-air.

“The Demon Legion from the Void…”

According to the background provided by the Abyss Rune and the alliance’s reconnaissance data.

Demon’s Descent, this Age-Old Shadow, was once a Magic side planet with a natural Magic web, inheriting Magic traditions.

Until one day, a great mage became contaminated by the Void, degenerating into a mad demon puppet.

He opened the Demons Gate to the Void, leading the demon army from the Void.

This relentless demon army ultimately destroyed the planet, giving birth to a terrifying being.

The background of Demon’s Descent is similar to many other Age-Old Shadows, and doesn’t seem to have anything special.

Even the current Planet Blue Star is enduring the invasion of “Alien Space Demons”, or alien demons.

Furthermore, low-difficulty Age-Old Shadows are not the real world.

They are Shadow Fragments that can be infinitely restored.

Thus, the alliance’s past mecha pilots merely considered the information given by the Abyss Rune as ordinary carbon copy backgrounds.

They didn’t think too deeply about the significance behind these backgrounds.

But…

Jiang Chen is different.

Firstly, he’s already very clear that the Age-Old Shadows in Abyss difficulty level are the real world.

Secondly, he has continuously cleared four hundred Age-Old Shadows at Abyss difficulty level within Level 1 of the abyss.

Among these newly unlocked Age-Old Shadows, there was one unremarkable existence.

“`

[Demons Gate]

This was also a mysterious side of the Age-Old Shadow.

The background resembled the medieval era, where persecuted witches had opened the gates to the demon world, beckoning the invasion of the demon army, which set the entire world ablaze.

Furthermore, the summoned demon army was likewise claimed to hail from the Void.

The Abyss overlord, while drawing the world’s power, awaited the legion’s call.

How similar was this to the background of Demon’s Descent?

Jiang Chen couldn’t possibly ignore such obvious matters.

“Could the demon legions invading these two worlds both come from the same stretch of the Void?”

“Or even, could they belong to the same legion, merely different squadrons?”

“If that is truly the case…”

“Doesn’t that mean some parts of the world are actually facing calamities from the same source?”

“Do these calamities also possess the ability to traverse the abyss, to cross worlds?”

Add to that the civilizations in the rising trials, all of which were [Human Civilizations], while the other species were categorized into [Abyss Monsters]…

And civilizations within the abyss continued to encounter endless calamities, never to know a day of peace…

Jiang Chen found it hard not to contemplate—

Were there two opposing factions among the humans and monsters in the abyss?

Like the Demons Legion, an abyss monster force powerful enough to cross the abyss and obliterate civilizations…

Could there also be some power that enabled them to grow and continually bring disasters to civilizations?

“Sadly, Planet Blue Star’s civilization had but a brief encounter with the Abyss Rune.”

“In this regard, even Senior Yano might not know too much information.”

“It’s likely only those ancient civilizations with high privileges could know some of the reasons.”

“Even…”

“This sort of demon legion capable of crossing the abyss might be the very disaster those ancient civilizations encountered!”

“Civilizations destroyed by events like Demon’s Descent and Demons Gate might have been spotted by chance and wiped out on a whim…”

If everything was as Jiang Chen thought.

Then the Alien Demon Invasion that Planet Blue Star faced, those abyss monsters capable of invading other planes…

Probably weren’t so simple.

As Jiang Chen pondered these questions, he piloted the primeval mecha towards the demons’ lair.

Soon, an open-air nest constructed from charred stone and filled with clots of dark red flesh came into view.

Within the numerous clots of flesh, there was a creature around forty meters tall with an upper body resembling a humanoid posture and a lower half akin to a bestial physique, complemented by numerous spider-like limbs.

It seemed to have sensed the presence, bared its upper body, and raised its head.

Looking up at the mecha in the sky, a sharp voice rang out.

“Is this another fool seeking death?”

“Just in time, I’ve been rather bored lately, so I’ll join you in seeking some amusement…”

Not all Abyss overlords were keen on communication.

For instance, the Abyss overlord of the Demons Gate, who repeated just a few phrases, calling others ants or insects, apparently without much intelligence.

Seeing that this Darkness She-Host appeared to be someone he could communicate with, Jiang Chen’s heart leapt with joy.

He promptly piloted the primeval mecha, landing inside the lair.

Before the Darkness She-Host could attack, he voluntarily disarmed, opened the outer layer of the mecha and jumped out from inside it.

He spread his hands, showing he was unarmed, and spoke.

“You’ve misunderstood, I’m not here to fight.”

“I’ve admired the legion’s name for a very long time, holding a deep sense of admiration.”

“Just that, I’ve never really had the chance.”

“Now, I want to join the legion and, by the way, hear about the legion’s style and philosophy.”

“Oh?”

A hint of amusement flickered in the eyes of the Darkness She-Host.

However, her movements didn’t halt for even a moment, continuing to advance forward.

“There are many humans who wish to join the legion.”

“Even if you are a mecha pilot… you must prove your value.”

With that said, the Darkness She-Host swung one of her limbs, striking down like lightning, seemingly to cleave Jiang Chen thoroughly!

The next moment, Jiang Chen raised his palm.

He easily grasped the Darkness She-Host’s limb, preventing it from descending any further.

The sharp barbs on the surface of the limb couldn’t puncture his tough skin at all.

A voice resonated, filled with surprise.

“You knew I am a mecha pilot?”
