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

The appearance of this phenomenon could only mean one scenario—

Whoosh!

A lightsaber glowing with black light suddenly pierced through the Void Rift, bursting forth.

It seemed to carry an invisible voice as it forcefully slashed downwards.

Rip!!

The Void Rift was torn apart, creating an even larger opening.

“!”

The Void Commander was stunned as he looked at the Void Rift.

The mecha pilot opposite him not only chose not to close the Void Rift.

He had even actively split it open?!

…

Moments before, outside the Void Rift, in the world of Moraka.

Yuu finished clearing the lesser troops around the Void Rift and had not reached her limit.

Jiang Chen maintained Mecha Soul Fusion, allowing her to fly to the side of the Void Rift and observe this massive tear.

This was the path to the Void.

Sealing it would mean completing the basic mission.

However, simply completing the basic mission would not warrant the highest evaluation.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was very curious about the Legendary Overlord known as the Void Wraith, and there was no way he would just call it quits without even seeing it.

“Can I use this passageway?”

He had the three-headed demonic dragon mecha raise an arm to try and touch the Void Rift.

It was like coming into contact with a terrifying black hole, as even the defense of the three-headed demonic dragon mecha, which had reached an upper 6th Rank level under Mecha Soul Fusion,

still had not the slightest resistance, as its scales and flesh were instantly crushed by the darkness and swallowed.

Being in the midst of Mecha Soul Fusion, Jiang Chen felt the state of the mecha and understood the reason.

[Lack of spatial resistance]

Those Void creatures, born in the Void, naturally possess spatial abilities and talents.

They see Void Rifts as passages and can move in and out at will.

Jiang Chen and his mecha lacked such talents and abilities, as well as the corresponding resistance.

Upon touching the Void Rift, they would sustain [true damage].

Ignoring defense and enigmatic value, directly losing corresponding Armor Value.

Jiang Chen had already experienced this when he was rapidly defeating 7th Rank Legendary Shadows—

Those peak-level legendary overlords all possessed various powerful and rare high-level attributes, with time and space among them.

However, this did not prevent him from defeating them.

“This is a one-way passage that only Void creatures can pass through.”

“But, its expansion rate is too slow.”

“I can’t just wait here for ten days for the final boss to appear…”

“Moreover, the Abyss Calamity is not a fool.”

“If I stand guard and kill, and they just run away like the meteor body encountered by the Stargazers Civilization, that would be awkward.”

“Let me give you a hand.”

Jiang Chen lifted his right hand, touching the Abyss Rune.

A wisp of abyss atmosphere leaked from the gemstone reverse scale, transforming into a pitch-black lightsaber, held in the palm of the three-headed demonic dragon mecha.

[Star-Slaying Lightsaber].

Originating from the output of the Sky-Piercing Supreme Mecha, it is a mythical-quality resonant weapon.

It possesses the terrifying power to cut through space and shatter stars, an extremely powerful spatial weapon!

As for why the original Sky-Piercing Supreme Mecha hadn’t been able to display the power of this lightsaber in battle…

Even a decisive blade is no different from a fire poker if it doesn’t hit its target.

Not only the Star-Slaying Lightsaber.

During his battles with the 7th Rank Legendary Shadow, Jiang Chen had also collected a significant amount of high-quality external equipment.

Even disregarding the equipment stats, their effects alone are definitely superb—

After all, even the genius mecha pilots of ancient civilizations are trying to get their hands on these mythical overlord equipments to boost their combat capabilities.

This sufficiently illustrates the superiority of these equipments.

At this moment, the three-headed demonic dragon mecha flapped its wings, using the reactionary force generated by the flapping to fly in a vacuum.

It circled around the Void Rift, chose an appropriate angle, and streaked down in a slashing motion!

The special effect of the Star-Slaying Lightsaber was activated, tearing a long, dark wound through space, and thus expanding the range of the Void Rift.

“… Stop!!”

The Rune Sun, the God of Holy Light who had lost his body for many years.

At this moment, observing the scene around the Void Rift from afar, a tingling sensation crept up his scalp once more.

Despite the vast distance, he hurriedly conveyed a message to Jiang Chen.

“What are you doing!?”

The method of communication based on sound was rather primitive.

Not only was the transmission slow, but once it left the planetary stage and had no air as a medium, communication would be lost.

Therefore, higher life forms communicated in a way similar to energy waves.

This method was not only faster and able to cover great distances with ease, but it also allowed for determining what happened in far-off places by absorbing different energy bandwidths.

This was the “voice” that higher life forms received.

For some life forms, even the soul was a kind of “voice.”

Having communicated with so many Legendary Overlords, Jiang Chen had already mastered this means of communication.

Hearing the question from the God of Holy Light, he responded.

“I’m opening the Void Rift,” he replied.

“… ”

Jiang Chen’s reply was so casual that the God of Holy Light was momentarily at a loss for words.

“You… aren’t you the mecha pilot who’s supposed to save the world and fend off the monsters from the Void?”

“Why are you opening the Void Rift instead of closing it?”

“… If I don’t open the Void Rift, where will the monsters I’m supposed to fend off come from?”

“Ah?”

He sensed the God of Holy Light’s bafflement.

Jiang Chen explained.

“On the other side of the Void Rift, there’s a Legendary Overlord.”

“It is incredibly powerful, yet because of this, it cannot immediately pass through the Rift to get here.”

“If I didn’t deal with it now and simply closed the Rift, it would only be a temporary solution to a chronic malady.”

“Once I leave, it won’t take long before it comes again.”

“At that time, will you confront it?”

“… ”

The God of Holy Light finally understood Jiang Chen’s intention.

However, the idea of cooperating with Void monsters by opening the Rift was still too daunting for him.

He couldn’t help but ask.

“Aren’t you afraid that by opening the Void Rift like this, you might encounter an unimaginably terrifying enemy, one so powerful that even you can’t cope with it?”

“Don’t worry, I am well prepared,” Jiang Chen reassured.

“I possess a piece of technological mythical equipment known as the [Spatial Anchoring Device].”

“It can anchor the nearby space, enhancing its stability, patching up the spatial rifts, and limiting abilities like curvature flight, wormhole traversal, Spatial Leap, and others…”

“Once I open the Void Rift to a certain extent, I will activate this device and secure the Void Rift.”

“What you’re worried about won’t happen.”

Modules and equipment are endless within the abyss.

And precisely because of this, no single module or piece of equipment can become truly invincible—

Anti-gravity devices counteract gravity field control, Spatial Anchors counter spatial leaps.

Even if time stops, there is a time travel device that can operate unaffected.

So, while Jiang Chen was accumulating attributes and abilities, he was also enriching his arsenal by building more mechas and collecting modules and equipment.

He aimed to be prepared for any situation.

Upon hearing his words, the God of Holy Light breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though He knew that even the strongest Divine Artifacts had their limits and were external tools,

in the face of an exceedingly horrific enemy, the effects of the Spatial Anchoring Device might be ignored, the enemy forcefully tearing through space…

But under such circumstances, what Jiang Chen did would no longer be relevant.

All the God of Holy Light and the few God Followers could do was watch, with hearts pounding and courage waning, as Jiang Chen piloted the three-headed demonic dragon mecha, wielding the Star-Slaying Lightsaber, and forcefully struck it down upon the Void Rift.

It was at that moment,

a large hand wrapped in purple satin emerged from within the rift.

It grasped the enormous Star-Slaying Lightsaber, preventing it from descending any further.

Another large, purple-satin-enveloped hand also reached out of the rift, grabbing onto its edge.

A colossal being, like a star in size, wearing a cloak formed of purple satin and donning a Skull Mask, stepped out from the Void.

It lowered its head, looking toward the three-headed demonic dragon mecha.

“A single mecha, nearing the strength of a 7th Rank being…”

“You’re quite arrogant, newcomer.”
