Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 115:
Chapter 115: Chapter 95: The Steam Mecha Upgrade, the Hope of Other Civilizations!_2
Therefore, most low-ranked mecha pilots need to rest for half a day after each abyss exploration.
It’s not just because they’ve expended a lot of energy.
At the same time, it’s also because the mecha need time to restore energy and repair damage.
Thus, although the base attributes of model Zero aren’t particularly outstanding,
Jiang Chen can so recklessly grind in the abyss solely because of its recovery capabilities.
In addition, Jiang Chen had also set his sights on the [Limitation Unlock] module.
He used four Supercharge Modules and a bunch of top-notch materials to directly elevate Yun from excellent to flawless quality, which was to be expected.
It would be surprising if he hadn’t achieved that.
But this upgrade module, it’s also a Supercharge Module?!
“Could it be that by loading a full set of Supercharge Modules, I’ve met some hidden condition?”
“Right, if all the other modules are supercharged, and only the upgrade/evolution module is one rank lower, then they would lose their meaning…”
As the first mecha on Planet Blue Star to be equipped with four Supercharge Modules, it truly is a [Supercharged Mecha].
Without the experience of predecessors, Jiang Chen could only search for the reasons himself.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of Zero.
When Yun completed its ultimate upgrade, reaching an even more perfect state, Zero’s flaws began to reveal themselves.
She had advanced from a regular model Zero Mecha.
Compared to Yun, which was of excellent quality from birth, there was inherently a deficiency.
At 0th Rank, it also absorbed three ordinary modules, further magnifying the inherent deficiency.
Most mecha pilots, faced with this situation, would make a wise choice.
They would use the initial mecha as a support mecha, install various support modules, and that would be that.
The powerful mecha obtained later would be the true main mecha.
Jiang Chen, however, didn’t think this way.
“So what if it’s inherently deficient?”
“Even if I have to pile on the materials, I’ll push Zero to the apex.”
“Moreover, the abyss is endless, and it seems to be filled with numerous civilizations and mecha pilots…”
“Who knows, I might find a way to make up for the inherent deficiencies.”
“I said I’d make Zero become the strongest alongside me, and I will definitely not go back on my word.”
At this time,
Jiang Chen didn’t express his thoughts, but kept them to himself.
He felt the joy and excitement of Yun after the upgrade, reloaded it with the intelligence module, and let it act independently to experience the sensation of becoming stronger.
He then summoned Zero, to share in Yun’s happiness.
During the process of exchanging feelings and enhancing their bond,
his personal terminal vibrated lightly.
Jiang Chen picked up the terminal with puzzlement and saw a message from the Symbol of the Alliance.
“Twenty years ago, the person who emerged from the abyss and brought the Abyss Rune to Planet Blue Star…”
“He has appeared again.”
Planet Blue Star, Mirror World.
A medium-sized mecha, surrounded by mysterious magic runes and exceedingly gorgeous, stood in midair.
Opposite it was a streamlined light red mecha.
The size difference between the two was quite stark.
Li Xiao, piloting the medium-sized Divine Lord Mecha, looked exceedingly serious.
The other party was the mecha pilot who had brought the Abyss Rune to Planet Blue Star those years ago.
With twenty years gone by, it was unknown how much his strength had increased; he might have already broken through the 8th Rank, the 9th Rank, and reached an even higher level.
Knowing that the opponent might be incredibly strong,
even Li Xiao, the strongest mecha pilot on Planet Blue Star, did not dare to be the slightest bit relaxed.
“There’s no need to be so tense; I bear no ill will.”
“If you really want to say it, I have even saved this planet once, saved your civilization.”
“Saved?”
Li Xiao’s tone was questioning.
According to the understanding of mecha pilots,
during the rank ascension trials, mecha pilots would enter a real world that was facing calamity.
If they saved that world, preserved the Seed of Civilization, they could spread the Abyss Rune, leaving behind the legacy of a mecha pilot.
But what about Planet Blue Star?
Twenty years ago, Planet Blue Star was in a period of peace.
There were no monsters, no mecha pilots, and nothing transcendent.
That is, until the appearance of this abyssal visitor brought the Abyss Rune and with it, monsters.
This seemed to conflict with the knowledge and deductions of mecha pilots.
Therefore, the high rank mecha pilots could not ascertain the intentions and stance of this abyssal visitor.
Upon his reappearance, they instantly pulled him into the Mirror World.
It seemed the abyssal visitor knew Li Xiao’s thoughts and began to speak.
“Indeed, salvation.”
“Your civilization has already crossed the abyss and knows even more, so you should understand one thing—”
“There are people of hope in every civilization.”
“Whether they come into being in response to the desperate prayers of all living beings, or they are favored by humanity and receive humanity’s gifts…”
“They, through their own strength, have crossed the bounds of the abyss and have become the hope of civilization.”
“They hold the highest authority of civilization, possess invincible strength at their stage, and naturally cannot be restricted or measured by the standards of a conventional mecha pilot.”
“Thus.”
“The trials of ascension for these people of hope are no longer limited to saving a few people or preserving a sliver of civilization’s Seed of Civilization.”
“It goes one step further—”
“To end the catastrophe before it arrives, to erase it into nothingness.”
“To protect the entire civilization.”
Hearing the abyssal visitor’s narration.
Li Xiao felt a flicker in his heart.
“You mean…”
“Yes, I am that person of hope.”
The light crimson mecha spread its arms wide, yet raised a finger and shook it.
“However, I don’t belong to your civilization.”
This abyssal visitor who appeared on Planet Blue Star twenty years ago.
Was he, like Jiang Chen today, the hope of another civilization?
Li Xiao digested this information, contemplating its truth.
At the same time, he pointed out a contradiction in his words.
“If you say that the task of the person of hope is to pre-emptively end catastrophes and protect the entire civilization…”
“Why did the catastrophes of Planet Blue Star not cease after you left?”
“To this day, abyssal monsters still appear frequently, and their strength is close to reaching the 10th Rank.”
The light crimson mecha shook its head.
“A catastrophe can be ended, but the abyss will not disappear.”
“All planets, all civilizations, are already situated within the Endless Abyss, even if one catastrophe is ended, new ones will arise—”
“Until civilization is utterly destroyed.”
“We, the people of hope, can at most resolve a catastrophe for you.”
“The Abyss Rune left behind is the Seed of Civilization for self-salvation.”
“You must seize this opportunity yourselves to gain the ability to confront the abyss and perhaps even birth a new person of hope.”
“If not, then destruction is the only outcome.”
The light crimson mecha, saying this, suddenly let out a self-mocking laugh.
“Besides, even if I could help you countless times…”
“Who will help us?”
Li Xiao had essentially come to believe the claims of this “person of hope.”
After all, if the other party truly harbored malice and possessed strength far surpassing the 8th Rank… there was no need to fabricate so many tales.
He could simply take action, and Li Xiao would be powerless to stop him.
Belief aside, he asked again.
“If a person of hope only saves a civilization once.”
“What then brings you here now?”
“It’s simple, to gather allies.”
The light crimson mecha replied.
“In the Endless Abyss, enemies abound everywhere.”
“We, who have crossed the abyss and become people of hope, must unite to fight against even mightier foes and protect the civilizations behind us.”
“Alright, after so much explanation, it’s time for me to meet your person of hope, isn’t it?”
