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

“Ah? … Got it, sir.”

After organizing the materials, Jiang Chen instructed Bai Ying.

Then, through the jungle area’s teleportation array formation, he arrived at the [Low Rank Universal Strengthening Field].

Although the star energy in the star-strengthening field was abundant, it had its limitations.

The Universal Strengthening Field contained a transformation array prepared by Li Xiao, which could consume materials and star energy to create the corresponding strengthening environment.

Even though the energy concentration was lower, it was definitely sufficient for a 1st Rank mecha.

At this moment, Jiang Chen took out a life-type Mythical Material [Divine Deer Heart] gifted by the big shots and placed it in the center of the transformation array.

With the illumination of star energy, the still throbbing Divine Deer Heart shattered abruptly under the intense Magic energy.

When it burst open, there was no splatter of blood and flesh.

Instead, a massive amount of verdant life force spread out, firmly confined within the transformation array, unable to dissipate.

In a daze, this verdant life force seemed to transform into numerous flourishing trees, forming an illusory forest scene.

If a normal person entered this environment, just breathing in the essence of the Divine Deer would easily heal illnesses and extend their lifespan.

Compared to it, even the Spring of Life would become inferior, lower-ranked material.

“Living in the abyss where life expectancy has ironically become a secondary concern.”

“Without striving to become stronger, a mecha pilot might die in a disaster before even aging.”

With that thought flickering in his mind, Jiang Chen touched the Abyss Rune.

Ashen roots gushed out from the palm of his hand, within the transformation array, forming a primeval mecha standing 3.5 meters tall.

“Zero, are you ready to embrace evolution?”

Jiang Chen heard Zero’s excited voice deep in his heart.

[Woohoo! Zero is ready, sir!]

In the final two days of the Earth Cataclysm world.

Jiang Chen had already used a supercharge upgrade tool, upgrading Zero’s last two ordinary modules into Supercharge Modules.

And he had also used a latent ability upgrading tool to improve her basic potential.

Now, she just needed to complete one more rank-up.

Then she would truly become a qualified Supercharged Mecha!

At this moment, both Zero and Jiang Chen had already waited too long…

Hmm? It seemed like they hadn’t actually waited that many days.

Simon next door, just to enhance his mecha for one cycle, had to spend half a month and still take a few days off after finishing the enhancement.

This is the loneliness of a feverish farming king.

Making rapid progress.

At this moment, Jiang Chen took out the Abyss Coins and other basic materials he had prepared beforehand, converting them into a vast amount of abyss atmosphere.

Mixed with the life essence, all of it was injected into the interior of the primeval mecha.

Under the massive injection of life force, the previously charred roots fibers of the primeval mecha, which had been enhanced before, seemed to be revitalized and quickly started to grow.

The charred surface turned into ash and fell away, revealing the white new-born fibers underneath.

These fine-looking white fibers, though delicate in appearance, intertwined to form an incredibly hard armor.

During this process, the phantom flames that were originally floating on the surface of the mecha did not dissipate.

With the infusion of the life essence, they turned from illusion into reality, from flames into rocks.

They metamorphosed into crimson flame-like armor that resembled phoenix wings, covering the white fiber surface.

At this moment, the primeval mecha shed the ashes and was reborn.

It became a roots mecha standing five meters tall, with a red and white color scheme.

In Jiang Chen’s High-Energy Perception, the energy intensity of the primeval mecha increased by far more than tenfold, almost turning into a dazzling evolution light!

[Sir, Zero has grown stronger. This time, it will certainly excite you!]

A whole bunch of mythical items had been hammered in.

If this didn’t bring excitement, that would be the end of it.

Eagerly, Jiang Chen extended his hand, touching the red and white mecha in front of him.

At the same time, this was his first 2nd Rank mecha!

[Code: Primeval Evolution: Zero]

[Type: Light Armor Bio-organic Mecha (Supercharged)]

[Quality: Flawless (4-Fold Absorption)]

[Rank: 2]

[Enhancement: Zero]

[Attributes: Strength 0.6 ten thousand, Agility 0.6 ten thousand, Defense 2.5 ten thousand, Enigmatism 1.0 ten thousand.]

[Armor: 260,000/260,000 (Additional Armor: 520,000), Recovery Rate 60.00/s (Doubled in sunlight).]

[Energy: 10,000/10,000, Recovery Rate 10.00/s.]

[Core Module (Absorbed): Infinite Core (Root Core + Infinite Vitality).]

[Auxiliary Modules (Absorbed): Crystal Rock Carapace, Primordial Essence Enhancement, Blood Demon Transformation, Baptism of Fire, Self-Healing Shell, Boulder Form.]

[Evolution Module: Baptism of Fire]

[Upgrade Module: Thorns Overgrowth]

[Baptism of Fire (Supercharged)]

[Rank: 3]

[Quality: Flawless (Mecha Dependent Upgrade)]

[Type: Upgrade Module]

[Effect One: Greatly increase resistance to fire, reducing fire damage received.]

[Effect Two: Absorb a portion of the fire damage, converting it into one’s own healing effect, the stronger the flame, the better the healing.]

[Description: Burn oneself to ashes, only to be reborn anew.]

With the assistance of numerous mythical items.

Zero successfully upgraded from an ordinary mecha of excellent quality to a supercharged mecha of flawless quality, achieving tremendous growth in attributes.

Especially the defense attribute, which increased to an astonishing figure of 25,000.

Coupled with the improvement brought by the flawless quality, triggering its talent would give Jiang Chen an amazing growth of 100,000 in defense at once!

The only pity was.

Zero’s initially absorbed attribute modules were only of excellent quality.

Even upgraded to supercharged modules, there was still a gap compared to the flawless and perfect quality attribute modules.

In addition, she had absorbed many modules that increased recovery speed and armor limits.

As a result, her basic attributes were much lower than Yun’s.

Even as a supercharged mecha, if Yun were to reach the 2nd Rank, aside from the enigmatic value, it could easily break twenty thousand or even thirty thousand in the three attributes of force agility and defense.

“I haven’t encountered any mythical items that could enhance module quality yet…”

“Take it slowly.”

“The foundation has been made up for; once the mecha’s rank increases and it can carry more modules, the slight deficiency in attributes at the early stage won’t have much impact.”

Moreover, Jiang Chen had poured so many resources into it.

Without any surprises, Zero awakened a new module.

This Baptism of Fire module was clearly due to the use of the Ashes Annihilation strengthening material, resulting in a new module.

It could not only serve as a damage-reduction module against fire-based enemies.

But also as a recovery module, where, in crucial moments, it could rapidly restore health through self-immolation—

This method of self-immolation might not necessarily require using abilities.

The mantle magma and the surface of stars should both be able to trigger the effect.

“In future fights, as soon as I see that my health is running low, I can totally take a dip in a star to heal up and then return to full health!”

However…

The evolution module was just one part of the upgrade.

Jiang Chen also discovered that the core module of Zero had changed.

The [Root Core] and [Infinite Vitality] core modules had both completely disappeared.

They were replaced by a brand-new [Infinite Core] module.

Jiang Chen checked it, and its attributes were displayed before his eyes.

[Infinite Core (Supercharged)]

[Rank: 3]

[Quality: Flawless]

[Type: Core Module]

[Effect One: Possesses all the effects of the Roots Core and Infinite Vitality modules (non-stackable).]

[Effect Two: Generates three Life Force Cores within the mecha, each one increasing armor repair speed by 50 points/s.]

[Effect Three: Upon receiving fatal damage, one Life Force Core shatters to negate the damage. (Negation limit is ten times the Armor Value, with one Life Force Core automatically repairing itself every hour)]

[Description: I am immortal!]

“Holy shit, Master Chao, they are still crafting!”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but swear.

Clearly, because both the Roots Core and Infinite Vitality supercharged modules originated from the world of the Star of Mutation.

And their effects were both life-oriented, enhancing the recovery speed and increasing the limit of Life Force.

Plus, both were wood type core modules and part of the powers of the abyss leader, the Transcender.

All these factors combined greatly increased the compatibility of the two modules.

Once they were completely absorbed by the mecha and an upgrade was completed, a [Module Fusion] occurred.

The two modules fused into a higher-ranked module, thus creating a new set effect!

Its effects were undeniably powerful.

A maximum increase of 150/s in armor recovery speed—

Compared to a 1st Rank excellent module with a 0.1/s recovery speed, this value was that of 4th Rank modules!

Not just that, it also possessed three chances to avoid death!

Although there is a limit to the exemption, there is actually not much difference.

An enemy capable of dealing damage ten times over also meant sure death after three fatal blows, despite the exemptions.

Its most suitable scenario

would undoubtedly be in battles against similarly powerful enemies, preventing them from delivering a death blow with strength far beyond the norm.

Generally, enemies capable of delivering such attacks could only do so once or twice.

If you can block it with the Life Force Core, you are basically guaranteed to win.

“Super high recovery, death exemption, Life Force Core.”

Jiang Chen, looking at this set effect, felt moved to tears for a moment.

Although he had reached the 2nd Rank and could no longer visit the Star of Mutation or see Master Chao,

the gift left by Master Chao would benefit him for life.

Even his first set module was given by Master Chao!

He truly felt an overwhelming emotion!

“In the future, I’d let the juniors farm the Star of Mutation more, to see if Master Chao can burst out some more coins.”

Jiang Chen wiped the tears from the corner of his mouth and made up his mind.

As for how to deal with the juniors not wanting to farm…

The set modules on the alliance records were already limited in quantity.

And a supercharged set was unique!

As long as Jiang Chen stored the [Infinite Core] set in the [Mecha Blueprint] repository for the juniors to refer to,

the doorstep of Master Chao’s home would be trampled flat the next day.

No longer would Master Chao be lonely.

Furthermore…

Upon seeing the effect of the Infinite Core set, Jiang Chen decided not to let Yun advance in rank just yet.

One reason was that it, as a Flawless mecha, could equip perfect modules but only had Flawless modules instead.

The attributes of a perfect module were 20, while Flawless was only 15.

The gap was still significant.

First, he’d get a set of perfect modules, which would have higher attributes later on.

Second, the 1st Rank modules that Jiang Chen had chosen for it only matched in attributes but did not consider the compatibility with set modules.

After all, set modules were rare to begin with, and a supercharged set was an unprecedented thing.

Jiang Chen never imagined he’d get his hands on a set so soon.

Now, with the gifts from Master Chao, he suddenly felt that assembling a set might not be so difficult—

With the supercharge upgrade tool, all the modules in the alliance’s inventory became supercharged modules.

Is it really so hard to put together one set?

Not to mention three-piece sets, four-piece sets, or ten-piece sets with many modules, putting together a large set.

It should be no problem, right, to make a two-piece set?
