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

On the other hand, his three temporary teammates were far from calm.

After returning to the Gaia civilization, Lan Yi reported his encounter with the Legendary Shadow to Yano, successfully witnessing the shocked expression of the man of hope—

Yano had been back from Planet Blue Star for just over a month.

For mecha pilots above the 10th Rank, casually enhancing a mecha could take more than a month’s time.

Thus, in Yano’s eyes, he had only just returned to the Gaia civilization.

That original genius from Planet Blue Star civilization suddenly reached the 2nd Rank, becoming the “Legendary Overlord who dominated three million in combat power,” as described by Lan Yi, a top-tier genius.

“Are you sure it’s him?”

Lan Yi opened the Legendary Shadow and flipped through the exploration records.

[Trial Passer: Planet Blue Star civilization, Jiang Chen; Gaia civilization, Lan Yi; Tian Yan civilization, Qing Yi, Ran Jian.]

“It’s definitely him.”

“…”

Yano remembered very clearly that when Jiang Chen was at the 1st Rank, in his prime state, he exhibited force agility attributes around fifty thousand.

Barely considered a twenty-fold attribute enhancement.

If one were to calculate the true combat power based on attributes, adding one trait, plus some equipment…

The actual combat power at that time should be around one hundred thousand.

If he rose to the 2nd Rank, his true combat power would increase by more than tenfold, at most reaching a little over one million, which placed him on the same level as the current Lan Yi.

And the result?

Jiang Chen was able to crush a Legendary Overlord with three million in combat power, demonstrating actual combat strength that was definitely no less than six million.

Six million in combat power, with base attributes definitely not below two million.

Merely at the 1st Rank, to rise from fifty thousand attributes to two million?

“Either he was hiding his capabilities before…”

“Or at the 1st Rank, his talent potential couldn’t fully manifest.”

“Until he reached the 2nd Rank, did he gradually start to shine in full splendor.”

Yano thought the former possibility was not likely.

After all, he was an 11th Rank mecha pilot himself; it couldn’t be that he couldn’t tell whether Jiang Chen was hiding his skills.

Instead, it was more probable that his later-stage talents grew with his rank.

Some talents, such as [Mecha Fusion], had strength bonuses related to the number of mechas.

At the 1st Rank, one could only possess two mechas, incapable of showcasing much prowess, thus the bonus was low.

But when reaching the 9th Rank, with ten combined mechas, the stacking attributes and various modes and patterns were incomparably more potent.

“Obviously a later-stage talent, yet at the 1st Rank, it could amplify by twenty times, then at the 2nd Rank, 3rd Rank, 4th Rank…”

“Hiss—”

“A body of the first generation, rivaling the ancients!”

Yano was shocked while his heartbeat quickened, and his face bloomed with an excited smile.

Jealousy? Envy?

Those emotions existed, but they were sparse.

After all, though Jiang Chen was an SSR drawn by the Blue Star civilization, a top-chosen one,

He also drew Planet Blue Star civilization as an SSR, a stock with top potential!

Through the trait of Joint Burner, the Gaia civilization could share a portion of the Civilization Potential gained by Planet Blue Star and grow alongside it!

“Planet Blue Star has Jiang Chen, the Gaia civilization is in alliance with Planet Blue Star, it’s indirectly as if the Gaia civilization also possesses Jiang Chen…”

“Now that’s truly relieving!”

Yano, with a smile on his face, frowned again upon seeing Lan Yi.

“Why are you still here.”

“Don’t you need to strengthen your mecha? Explore the abyss?”

“When I was at Planet Blue Star, I heard about Jiang Chen’s deeds; he barely rested for even a second from awakening the Abyss Rune to crossing the abyss…”

“This kind of genius with such talent is working hard, as the top genius of our Gaia civilization, don’t you feel the slightest bit stirred?”

“Joint Burner is just allowing us to share a certain Civilization Potential.”

“If you don’t make an effort, this potential will never transform into combat power.”

“You…”

“You’re right, I’m off to the dungeons!”

Lan Yi’s expression stalled, he decisively touched the Abyss Rune, and swiftly made his escape.

“Deep Abyss, activate!”

…

Unlike the excitement in the Gaia civilization,

Qing Yi and Ran Jian, the two mecha pilots, returned to Tian Yan civilization and their intelligent chips implanted in their brains immediately connected to the civilization network.

They sensed the greeting from the Tian Yan main brain.

[Welcome back.]

Qing Yi responded briefly to the Tian Yan main brain, immediately touched the Abyss Rune, opened the Legendary Shadow interface, and quickly scrolled through the clearance records.

Soon, they found the record they had just made and their thoughts stirred slightly.

“Tian Yan, search for Planet Blue Star civilization.”

[Searching…]

[Search complete, no relevant information found.]

Wherever there is the abyss, a mark is left, even the most ancient civilizations are no exception.

The Tian Yan main brain has already recorded all civilizations of the Purgatory level through the Abyss Rune, as well as many other civilizations from different [Abyss Levels].

This includes those once-prosperous civilizations that ultimately perished at the hands of calamity.

Among this wealth of information, there was no relevant information on Planet Blue Star civilization.

“It seems he truly is the first generation of this civilization…”

Qing Yi thought to himself.

“Tian Yan, record a new civilization file, name it [Planet Blue Star].”

“The first hopeful is Jiang Chen, the mecha he pilots… strength…”

He relayed all that happened in the Legendary Shadow.

Soon, he received a response from Tian Yan civilization.

[File recorded.]

[Civilization file: Planet Blue Star.]

[Civilization Potential: Medium.]

[Thank you for your feedback, reward Tian Yan credits: one million.]

Qing Yi’s credits balance instantly increased several-fold, equivalent to what he would earn from clearing the Legendary Shadow hundreds of times.
