Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 149
Chapter 149: Chapter 112: Slay the Supreme Deity First, Then the Pantheon!_2
Using armored abilities so recklessly naturally consumed a massive amount of mecha energy.
Even if a steam mecha was equipped with a Star Energy Force module, which has a higher energy limit, it couldn’t sustain such consumption.
However…
After frequently utilizing Mecha Soul Fusion, Jiang Chen uncovered a new method!
Known: A steam mecha has 1w energy; if depleted, the energy returns to zero.
Upon briefly initiating Mecha Soul Fusion, Jiang Chen infused his own Life Force Energy into the steam mecha, raising its energy limit to 10w and restoring the remaining energy to 10w.
Question: How much energy is left in the steam mecha when Mecha Soul Fusion ends?
The answer is very simple.
1w energy!
That is to say, whenever the steam mecha depletes its energy, Jiang Chen can always initiate Mecha Soul Fusion to replenish it!
Of course, this method of replenishing energy was not created out of nothing; it wasn’t a glitch he exploited.
Instead, Jiang Chen converted his Life Force Energy into mecha energy through the special process of Mecha Soul Fusion.
In essence, his body became the mecha’s reserve hidden energy source, supplying it by consuming his own physical strength.
The same was true for the mecha’s Armor Value.
As long as Jiang Chen had enough Life Force, he could continuously replenish the mecha!
However, when facing enemies in reality, he definitely couldn’t play around like this.
After all, compared to the human body, the mecha was too fragile.
Exhausting one’s own Life Force and physical strength to replenish the mecha’s energy was very dangerous, especially if the mecha was destroyed in battle; even with full attributes, being out of Life Force and physical strength could be perilous.
Thus, this was a move reserved for special circumstances.
“The more I use it, the more I realize that the Mechanical Soul trait is really a great trait…”
“Why haven’t the mecha pilots of Planet Blue Star developed these functions in the past?”
Jiang Chen mused.
Meanwhile, he created magma channels, penetrating deep into the earth.
Upon finding an Aftershock Monster, he immediately initiated Mecha Soul Fusion, using its formidable power to quickly pull it to the surface through the magma channel and accomplished the kill!
[By slaying an Aftershock Monster, an immaculate module was obtained: Shockwave Aftermath (supercharged).]
Another supercharged module!
And it was one that was completely unique and not obtainable through the abyss system of Planet Blue Star!
Jiang Chen piloted the steam mecha, bathed in the blood of the monstrous creature, displaying a happy smile.
“As expected of Hope Difficulty Level.”
“It truly is filled with hope!”
“Elite monsters can stably produce supercharged modules…”
“I wonder what treasures the source of the disaster will yield.”
The staff at the Earthquake Monitoring Bureau worked with utmost efficiency.
They continuously reported the positions of deep seismic sources to Jiang Chen and marked the coordinates for him.
Many monsters had barely generated seismic waves and had not yet had the chance to cause an impact when Jiang Chen found them and swiftly exterminated them.
In just seven short hours,
Jiang Chen killed a total of thirteen elite monsters and obtained thirteen supercharged modules!
A burst rate as high as one hundred percent!
Because of the effects of the Flaming Molten Lava module,
During this process, Jiang Chen also created nine lava lakes and four new volcanoes, impacting the local ecology.
Of course, whether the leaders of various countries or the general public, none took such matters to heart.
Compared to the soon-to-solidify volcanic topography, those monstrous creatures, massive as hills, capable of triggering seismic waves, were a bit more terrifying.
But the impacts brought by volcanic landscapes and terrifying monsters were far from just that.
Due to the involvement of too many countries and regions, the steam mecha’s overt travel routes, along with minor earthquakes and monster appearances everywhere…
The governments simply gave up on covering up the incidents and instead used some artistic embellishment to make related announcements to soothe the public’s mind.
Messages like [Enigmatic Mecha Sweeping Across the Globe, Crushing Monsters, Saving the World] exploded across the internet in an instant.
Becoming the focus of countless people’s attention.
In the course of this, many civilian archaeology enthusiasts and geological research aficionados were influenced by public opinion and began thinking about and searching for the origins of the underground monsters.
In an atmosphere that mobilized almost the entire population, any slight clue was quickly seized upon.
Then, with the collective efforts of numerous scholars, they unraveled the truth like peeling silk from a cocoon.
“You found a thread of information in records of an ancient civilization from tens of thousands of years ago…”
“Then, in corresponding archaeological remains, you located murals that match the images of these monsters?”
Jiang Chen piloted the steam mecha, hovering in mid-air.
From the communicator, an explanation from an archaeologist came through.
“That’s right, according to the records of ancient civilizations, about tens of thousands of years ago, there were behemoths resembling mountains that could easily trigger landslides and tsunamis, possessing infinite might…”
“The ancient civilizations regarded them as gods and totems, worshipping and offering sacrifices to them, carving statues and paintings…”
“Since there were no fossils or related evidence left, we once considered this to be a mere fantastical belief of the ancient civilization…”
“Until we found that two of the aberrant creatures you killed bore an uncanny resemblance to the deities in the ancient civilization’s wall paintings…”
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
Just like the ancient deities of the Steam World.
Even though They were always in slumber, those monsters continued to live in the depths of the sea abyss.
And there were always some “lucky” ships on long voyages that encountered these mysterious beings.
At the end of the day, since they have existed on the same planet for so long,
it’s impossible that there were no traces at all.
However, Jiang Chen hadn’t come to listen to the mythological stories of another world.
He cut off the other party’s narration, asking directly.
“So, what have you learned from this?”
“Uh…”
The archaeologist’s desire to share was interrupted, realizing that now wasn’t the time for such stories.
He spoke quickly.
“According to the records, the aberrant creatures you killed are called [Earth Deities], also worshipped by the ancient civilization.”
“The ancient civilization also recorded the existence of a powerful being that appeared only once in legend.”
“They called It the [Supreme Deity], meaning as high as the heavens.”
“It slumbers beneath the highest peak, and once awakened, would bring forth the Earth Cataclysm, destroying the civilizations above.”
“The one time It revealed itself, It brought about the apocalypse for the ancient civilization.”
“The highest peak?”
Jiang Chen had already confirmed that this so-called Supreme Deity was likely the source of the calamity ten days from now.
It hadn’t fully awakened yet, hence there were no seismic disturbances, and sleeping deep underground, It couldn’t trigger a high-energy response.
If it weren’t for these archaeologists…
Perhaps It would have had to wait until the eighth day, or even the ninth day, to gradually make Its presence known.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to hang up the communicator and set off,
the voice of the archaeologist came through again.
He seemed hesitant, beginning to speak.
“However, these are just records from an ancient civilization tens of thousands of years ago…”
“In fact, there were multiple once-thriving human civilizations that ultimately fell into ruin…”
“In the records of another civilization…”
“The ‘Supreme Deity’ described similarly is not the most exalted existence…”
“There are beings like the ‘Sea Deity’ corresponding to It…”
“And above these deities, there are even gods of the Pantheon…”
In the past, archaeologists would never have taken these things seriously.
After all, they were just fantasies of ancient people, myths crafted out of thin air.
Such beings couldn’t possibly exist in the world.
Until today, as Jiang Chen piloted his mecha, he killed several mythological mountainous behemoths, simultaneously shattering their worldview.
At this moment, they no longer dared to be sure whether these myths were indeed true or not.
Therefore, they had to disclose everything, lest they omit any piece of information.
After listening, Jiang Chen gave an affirmative response.
“These records could be true.”
“Since there’s a ‘Supreme Deity,’ it’s possible that there might be other creatures on the same level, or even more powerful.”
Like in the Steam World, it was nothing but aberrant monsters that came out to destroy civilizations.
The true ancient deities had long since gone back to sleep.
The Earth Cataclysm world must also have its hidden existences!
Jiang Chen consoled them.
“Don’t worry, ten days is enough, we’ll take it one at a time.”
“Let’s face the Supreme Deity first.”
