Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 206
Chapter 206: Chapter 145: Understand, Become, Transcend!_1
“Two instances of Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis traits in a row?”
“And a Simulacra Module together with a Vampiric Module?”
“Not bad at all, Master,”
Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over the items, clearly pleased.
The Endless Difficulty Level not only had a high burst rate but also a chance to produce Mythical Items.
Just like the Abyss difficulty level, it consistently yielded two supercharged modules plus one trait or one prototype.
The variety of traits an Abyss overlord could produce wasn’t too broad, at most three kinds.
Therefore, the probability of producing them was still pretty high.
Even so, it was enough to prove the Master’s effort!
Moreover, the [Vampiric Spores] module dropped by it, though it was a common attribute related to toxins,
its vampiric prefix alone was enough to rank it among the top modules.
Unfortunately, the way this module siphoned blood involved releasing spores inside the enemy’s body, similar to poisoning.
The vampirism value was alright, but the frequency was far from the reflective vampirism of Thorns Overgrowth.
The toxin attribute didn’t match well with Zero’s life path; it wasn’t easy to pair them.
As for the [Bio-organism Simulacra] module…
There wasn’t much to say about it.
All Simulacra Modules that appeared on Planet Blue Star did not affect the rest of the modules with their changes in appearance.
Jiang Chen could absorb the power of Mecha Modules, and he roughly understood the reason.
Each [Mecha Module] was like a convergence of abyss energy, which was why they could produce various miraculous effects.
In this process, no matter how many additional limbs the Simulacra Module added,
the energy cap of the other modules didn’t change, so their effects naturally wouldn’t double.
[Three Lives Skull], a special type of part module, actually added its power to other head modules,
serving as a sort of catalyst to create a special reaction.
That’s how other head modules could exert several times their effects.
Mere changes in limbs naturally couldn’t affect module power.
“So, Roots Core, Infinite Vitality, Return to Primal State, Boulder Form… These kinds of non-stacking percentage abilities might not really be non-stacking,”
“The module energy has already been absorbed; it can’t just disappear into thin air, right?”
“It’s just that their stacking method isn’t immediately apparent—”
“For instance, once I reach 10th Rank strength, with a dozen or more attribute boosts stacked, surely absorbing a 0th Rank attribute-doubling module wouldn’t really double the attribute value?”
“That’s even more exaggerated than using a feather to flip a stone!”
“It’s like doubling the ocean with a single drop of water!”
“So repeatedly absorbing these percentage modules must, in fact, be stacking the bonuses’ limit.”
“It’s just that this energy is hidden within my body and doesn’t manifest directly.”
“This is probably why when Abyss Runes calculate strength, they also consider these explosive attributes and stance changes—”
“Because these energies inherently exist within me.”
Jiang Chen had an epiphany.
He had only repeatedly absorbed the [Return to Primal State] module in the Earth Cataclysm world.
Back in the present world, he had taken it off when upgrading Zero’s rank, intending to save it for Yuu, and it hadn’t been installed yet.
Therefore, the bonus from Return to Primal State was still at the 2nd Rank level.
Now it seemed that he needed to enhance Yuu’s strength as soon as possible to fully absorb the Return to Primal State module.
Otherwise, with the rapid growth of his own abilities,
the Return to Primal State ability would likely not be able to provide a full bonus much longer.
…
Jiang Chen had initially planned to wait until both mechas were completely shattered before repairing them all at once to save time.
Now, with a second Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis trait in hand, the plan could change.
Upon returning to the Star Base,
he immediately touched the Abyss Rune, took out the spore-filled, grey-green crystal representing the trait, and gently squeezed it.
The grey-green crystal exploded silently, turning into countless tiny fungal spores that swirled around him and poured into his body.
After a moment, Jiang Chen could feel that he had gained a new power.
He summoned the two mechas covered in cracks.
His attention turned to the withered and broken colossal red and white giant as he gently touched it.
A cloud of tiny blood-flesh spores dispersed, rapidly spreading over the primeval mecha, disassembling it into countless fragments and absorbing it into his body.
It ultimately vanished completely.
With the completion of the Primeval Mecha’s symbiosis,
Jiang Chen’s attributes saw a slight increase.
His base defense, in particular, went from 980,000 to 1,060,000, officially breaking through one million!!
At the same time,
Jiang Chen could clearly feel the elements that made up the Primeval Mecha completely merging into every cell of his body.
Meanwhile, Zero, as the mecha soul of the Primeval Mecha, appeared to transform into a section of vine burning with an illusionary flame, dormant deep within his soul.
This was a completely different experience from triggering the [Undying Barehand] talent.
“It looks like the Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis trait, like Weapons Master and Mechanical Soul, possesses a lot of potential to be developed—”
“With the mecha soul dormant at the depths of my own soul, isn’t this a perfect opportunity to strengthen our communication?”
“Also, while gaining the mecha’s attribute bonus might not mean much to me…”
“Gaining module power is quite practical.”
“I used to have to wait for the mecha to shatter before I could absorb its power.”
“Now, as long as the mecha is equipped with it, I can directly benefit from the corresponding capabilities.”
“It’s like getting an early taste of the module effects and then choosing whether to absorb based on the situation!”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile.
Indeed, there were just too many ways to develop a trait.
