Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 148
Chapter 148: Chapter 112: Slay the Supreme Deity First, Then the Pantheon!_1
Jiang Chen’s words cast a layer of gloom over the hearts of the people.
The might of this steam mecha was beyond doubt.
But even with such a formidable mecha, was it still possible that it couldn’t beat the calamity’s source monster?
The commander sensed the heavy atmosphere and spoke up.
“Ladies and gentlemen, there’s no need to worry, he said it might not beat, not that it absolutely cannot beat it.”
“If he is a foreigner from another planet and he wasn’t sure, he wouldn’t have come here to court death.”
“That is to say, at most the source of the calamity is an enemy on the same level as this steam mecha.”
“When the time comes, as long as this mecha pilot can restrain the opponent with the steam mecha, and we provide the corresponding assistance…”
“We will surely achieve the ultimate victory!”
In the commander’s words, there was no longer the original doubt.
After all, actions speak louder than words; the terrifying monster that kept causing earthquakes was quietly hiding two hundred kilometers underground, so it couldn’t be harmless, right?
At this moment, people had fully believed Jiang Chen’s statement.
And under the deterrence of the “Doomsday Calamity,” under the fear of death and destruction, it was as if adrenaline was injected.
Efficiency was maximized as everyone focused intently on tracking the monster’s trail.
The higher-ups of various nations didn’t disturb the workers at this time—
Even if they were very interested in the mecha pilot, they had to eliminate the monster first before they had the capacity to consider these matters.
They frequently monitored all sorts of data and soon conveyed new information to Jiang Chen.
They marked the new location of the abyssal monster.
“In this way, they won’t be able to entertain any wild thoughts, right?”
Jiang Chen, piloting the steam mecha, flew toward the newly marked epicenter with a smile on his lips.
In the initial Steam World, he couldn’t wait to imprint his invincibility in the survivors’ hearts, to completely expel the influence of the ancient gods and boost their morale.
But the world of the Earth Cataclysm was different.
Jiang Chen had already proven his strength and invincibility.
At this time, he couldn’t keep flaunting his power.
After all, he came to deal with the monsters and shelter civilization.
If he showed an attitude of easily rescuing everything, as the protected party, the civilization could easily become complacent.
Jiang Chen was still counting on them to work hard to locate the boss’s position!
They would be risking the lives of their civilization’s innocent populace and also cause Jiang Chen’s scores to drop by wasting some time.
So, it was better to slightly highlight the strength of the abyssal monster.
It would help to increase their sense of urgency, boost their work efficiency, and make them work hard for their own civilization.
Instead of just waiting for a savior to save everything.
As for whether the calamity’s source could be beaten by the steam mecha…
Jiang Chen could only say.
Perhaps.
After all, as a 1st Rank mecha pilot, he had already stacked his basic attributes to an astonishing 120,000.
With Mecha Soul Fusion activated, the steam mecha would have 60,000 in basic attributes.
Senior Yano, the Hope of the same period as a 1st Rank mecha pilot, only had the strength of a normal 3rd Rank, which is about 20,000 attributes.
If the steam mecha with 60,000 attributes couldn’t beat the source of the calamity…
How did Senior Yano pass the rank-up trial?
From this perspective, it must be possible to beat it.
However, if you look at it from another angle.
According to what Senior Yano said, the Hope varied in strength; the Hopes of those ancient civilizations had one stronger and more exaggerated talent than the next.
As the first-generation Hope of civilization, his talent strength was relatively weak.
If the intensity of the rank-up trials all followed the level of the weaker Hopes, doesn’t that mean that anyone with slightly stronger talent could crush the trials?
What kind of trial would that be?
Therefore, Jiang Chen wasn’t in a good position to judge the strength of the calamity’s source.
He could only say…
“At least, let Zero and Yun have a fulfilling fight.”
“I’ve prepared several repair tools.”
Jiang Chen, with his expectations of the calamity’s source, quickly arrived at the new location of the epicenter.
This time, the depth of the epicenter was close to three hundred kilometers, still within the range of an intermediate-source earthquake.
The location of the epicenter was a plain area.
In the plain area, there was no convenient magma channel like before; Jiang Chen had to figure out a way to delve into the depths himself and find the aberration.
Had it been before, it might have been a bit tricky.
But now…
“New module, activate!”
The surface of the steam mecha opened a slot, and a property module quickly popped out.
The strength and agility attributes of the steam mecha dropped by 700 points each, from 0.35 thousand to 0.28 thousand.
In its place, a module with magma coloring was quickly inserted into the slot.
Supercharge Module [Flaming Molten Lava]!
The burst rates in the trial worlds were already extremely high, regarded by Jiang Chen as a precious treasure-hunting secret realm.
At this moment, it was also the exclusive [Hope Difficulty Level], with maximized burst rates.
Just an elite monster dropped a precious supercharged module!
The most important thing was…
This Flaming Molten Lava module looked like it was for both attack and defense.
It was actually a functional module that could perfectly resolve the current dilemma faced by Jiang Chen.
No magma channel?
Then create a magma channel!
After switching modules, the steam mecha’s arms were covered with crimson patterns, and a thick layer of strange molten lava gauntlets was added.
With energy infused into the molten lava gauntlets, Jiang Chen struck the ground.
The ground within a hundred-meter radius instantly turned into scorching hot lava.
The steam mecha then sank into it, continuously transforming the ground into lava as it headed straight down.
