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

Therefore, Jiang Chen didn’t activate [Boulder Form].

Instead, he directly piloted the primeval mecha, using the high-speed movement provided by the ion propulsion unit, and caught up with the Prehistoric Winged Fiend.

He swung his fist, as small as a grain of rice, and struck hard on its skull.

Eyeballs, tongue, nostrils, ears…

Since it was small, it targeted weaknesses for its attack.

With the combination of strength and the power of thorns, it successfully caused significant damage to the Prehistoric Winged Fiend.

Blood sprayed, eyeballs burst, teeth were shattered.

Not only did Zero become more excited as he fought.

Yun, who was watching the battle from inside Jiang Chen’s body, couldn’t help but wave his fist, cheering him on.

[That’s it, General Zero, just like that!]

[Poke its eyes out, dig into its nostrils, peel off its tongue, crush it hard!]

At this moment, Zero’s responses were slow due to the deceleration effect.

[Zero knows how to solve this problem, big body but weak points…]

“Wait, Zero, let’s forget the body entrance.”

Jiang Chen’s thoughts flickered, interrupting Zero’s speech.

An enemy this big, even if you attack inside, you can go through the ears to the brain.

Going through the rear to attack the internal organs, though effective, is still somewhat disgusting even in a mecha.

[Alright, since you’ve said so, Sir, I’ll let you off the hook!]

While Jiang Chen was fighting and having a tea-time chat with the mecha soul…

The Prehistoric Winged Fiend finally couldn’t bear the humiliation.

Unable to escape the pursuit of the primeval mecha, it conveyed its angry intentions, violently flapped its wings, and dashed into the nearby Eye of the Storm.

In that moment, all the natural energies within the Eye of the Storm were transformed into primitive energy and poured into the Prehistoric Winged Fiend’s body.

Its body began to mutate, its aura climbing higher and higher.

“Changing phases?”

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s lips.

“Who else doesn’t change phases?”

“Zero, are you ready.”

[Ready, Sir, let’s get started!]

Accompanying the excited shouts of Zero…

Jiang Chen, wrapped in countless tendrils within the primeval mecha, had not left the mecha.

He directly activated overload mode, and in combination with the Bio-organism Simulacra, his size gradually began to inflate.

One meter eighty, two meters, three meters, five meters, seven meters…

Then a question arose.

What happens when the original body becomes larger than the mecha and still wears it?

[Ah, I’ve been filled up by Sir…]

The original Roots mecha, which was only five meters in size, was forcibly stretched by the giant within.

However, since the primeval mecha was itself made of root fibers and was a bio-organic mecha with the ability to change shape,

the mecha itself did not burst but adapted to the changes brought by the giant’s growth.

Just like the [model Zero-Type Exoskeleton] of the past.

Now, the primeval mecha reverted to a set of thin [Roots Battle Suit], wrapping around the surface of the giant’s body.

When the [Mecha] reverts back to the [Battle Suit].

Jiang Chen, as the pilot within the battle suit, could finally use the power of his original body to participate in the battle!

To put it simply:

[Power Stack (The original body can use power, combined with the enhancement from the battle suit)]

[Agility remains the same (The initial flight used the biological force field and propulsion unit of the original body)]

[Defense remains the same (The original body is the original body, the battle suit is the battle suit)]

“Time to start hitting people.”

Jiang Chen felt the Roots Battle Suit covering his skin, grinned, and clenched his fist.

Zero, feeling the fullness inside, felt incredibly satisfied even as her vision rolled back.

It all came back.

All of it returned.

She could once again be filled by Sir and fight alongside him, just like the start.

The difference now…

The her of the past lacked defense, had very low Armor Value, and would shatter completely if Sir applied even a little bit of strength.

Now, her spirit fused with Sir’s, she could withstand much more power.

She loved Sir the most.

Her voice slowly rose.

[Zero, Limitation Unlock!]

[Fusion phase, engage!]

This was a mode exclusive to Zero!

At this time, the Prehistoric Winged Fiend had just finished absorbing the storm’s power, completing its transformation.

Before it had the chance to roar, a ten-meter figure appeared in front of it, and a heavy punch landed on the top of its head.

Bang!!!

A huge airwave spread out, silencing even the storm.

The Prehistoric Winged Fiend, struck by the punch, was smashed into the ground, causing a large-scale earthquake!

As it reeled in confusion, it felt an incomprehensible sensation.

Why was it that after its power surge, it became even less able to fight back?

…

In a distant place, the Eye of the Storm.

One mecha suppressed the storm, another controlled the sword body, while a third released missiles.

The three mechs worked in unison, clearing away the incessantly emerging winged demons, quickly dealing with the Eye of the Storm.

As the convergence point of storm energy, the Eye of the Storm had no physical form.

To quell it, one had to employ special methods and proceed with a lengthy process.

This procedure would take approximately several minutes.

It might not seem like a long time, but both the Storm Winged Demon and the Prehistoric Winged Fiend would intervene to stop it.

If they interfered, not only would the process be greatly prolonged.

They could also harness the power of the Eye of the Storm to attack the mecha pilots, or even gain enhancements.

Therefore, how to attract the hatred of the Prehistoric Winged Fiend and prevent it from stopping the mecha pilots from destroying the Eye of the Storm had become a significant challenge of this Legendary Shadow—

After all, the Prehistoric Winged Fiend wasn’t foolish.

Even if there were mecha pilots to delay it, once it sensed changes in the Eye of the Storm, it would quickly disengage and rush to prevent them.

Lan Yi and the other two mecha pilots were initially worried about whether Jiang Chen could hold off the Prehistoric Winged Fiend.

Now they had been suppressing the Eye of the Storm for an entire minute.

There was no sign of the Prehistoric Winged Fiend appearing.

This put them at ease, and their faces lit up with joy.

“This captain’s strength is truly formidable,” said one.

“Even though he’s from a newly advanced civilization and at the 2nd Rank, to possess such power is nearly on par with the hopes of many level 5 civilizations, right?”

“It looks like Purgatory level is going to see the rise of a new civilization…”

Qing and Jian, the two mecha pilots, couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Lan Yi, however, was more concerned about the situation of the battle.

He used the communication device, activated team comms, and reported.

“Captain, we’ve begun to suppress the Eye of the Storm here, we estimate that in a minute and a half, we can destroy the first Eye of the Storm and reduce the Winged Demons’ strength,” he said.

“How are things on your side?”

Team comms were quiet for a moment.

Then Jiang Chen’s voice came through.

“…Oh, I’m doing ok here,” he said.

His voice seemed a bit noisy, as if there was some kind of interference.

Lan Yi and the other two mecha pilots listened intently.

In the channel, they could hear the constant sounds of heavy strikes, collisions, and booming impacts, along with the angry and piercing cries of the winged demons.

The battle was extremely tense.

That made sense, normally the Prehistoric Winged Fiend could leave whenever it wanted, with incredible speed.

To stall and delay it, the captain must have paid a hefty price.

The three pilots looked at each other and quickly asked.

“Captain, were doing ok here, we have spare hands…”

“How much longer can you last, do you need help?” they asked.

Combat noises from the other side of the channel paused momentarily.

Jiang Chen’s voice came through.

“…Can’t last much longer, not necessary,” he replied.

What?!

Lan Yi and the others caught their breath.

They had assumed the captain would be able to stall for some time…

But he was about to reach his limit and didn’t even request support.

Could it be that the situation on the captain’s side had reached a critical life-and-death point, and he was considering giving up the challenge, withdrawing from the abyss?

If that was the case…

Then the three of them would have to quickly withdraw from the abyss as well.

Otherwise, they would be in grave danger from the Prehistoric Winged Fiend that would come chasing after them!

“Captain…”

The three looked at each other, about to speak and ask.

Suddenly, the storm ceased, numerous winged demons screamed mournfully, scattering and fleeing.

The abyss atmosphere before them morphed into text.

[Successful kill of the Lord, completing the legendary objective.]

[Number of people who passed: four]

[Level of lord strength: five]

[Calculating rewards based on the known information…]

[…]

[Calculation complete, withdrawing from the abyss in one minute.]

The settlement interface appeared before their eyes, stopping the words on the tip of their tongues.

Jiang Chen’s voice came through the channel.

“…Phew.”

“Initially, I wanted to stall for more time, got a bit carried away, and ended up killing it,” he said.

“By the way, what were you just about to say?”

“…”

So when you said you couldn’t last much longer, it was the Prehistoric Winged Fiend that couldn’t last much longer, not you!

Qing and Jian opened their mouths as if they were at a loss for words, unable to utter a single one.

Lan Yi, however, after a moment of stupor, spoke up quickly.

“Boss… which one will you target next? When do you plan to form a group? Is there a spot in your team?” he asked eagerly.

“I’ll work super hard.”
