Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 213
Chapter 213: Chapter 149 It turns out it was left for me_2
The high-quality material reserves of the alliance’s high-rank mecha pilots come from those high-rank mecha pilots themselves.
In other words…
Big shots like Li Xiao are actually the biggest suppliers of high-rank, high-quality materials.
Under such circumstances, with tenfold burst rate privileges, one must fill Li Xiao’s inventory to the brim, mustn’t they?
Jiang Chen wished that whenever Li Xiao explored the abyss, even the most minor creatures he killed would explode with mythical materials!
As for those low-ranked mecha pilots…
Forget it.
Even if they had a hundred times the burst rate, wouldn’t they still be waiting for Jiang Chen to feed them?
“It’s a pity, there’s an upper limit to the level of materials produced by the big shots.”
“Given my growth rate, I will have to find my own way to produce top-notch materials in the future.”
“I wonder how the hopefuls from other civilizations solve this problem?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but think of the newly opened [Legendary Shadow].
According to the Abyss Rune description, these Legendary Shadows seem different from the Abyss difficulty level and are not part of the real world.
They are the Age-Old Shadows left by some legendary abyss overlords.
I wonder if they could produce some materials that exceed the level.
Jiang Chen put away his personal terminal and touched the Abyss Rune.
Among the many options that appeared before him, he opened the [Age-Old Shadow] section.
Within this section, two branching options emerged, one for ordinary shadows and one for Legendary Shadows.
When Jiang Chen chose Legendary Shadow.
A colossal beast sprung before his eyes.
It resembled a giant turtle, its body mountainous in stature, traversing the seas, and even in the vacuum of space, its continent-sized shell was clearly visible.
[Prehistoric Dragon Turtle (Juvenile Stage)]
[Associated Area: Purgatory level]
[Catastrophe: Ancient Life]
[Level: 2]
[Strength: 4th Rank, 5th Rank, 6th Rank, 7th Rank.]
[Number of Challengers: 1]
Different from the ordinary Age-Old Shadows.
The naming of Legendary Shadows directly referred to the titles of these legendary overlords.
Past civilizations and past catastrophes all became nutrients for their growth, merely a small part of their legendary experiences, not worth mentioning.
However, the other information conveyed by the Legendary Shadow interface is of great interest to Jiang Chen.
“Purgatory level… Is it the same Purgatory level that the Fire Plunderer kid from the Divine Lord Civilization spoke of?”
“And what does the associated area mean?”
Jiang Chen was curious and looked further down.
He had a rough idea about the meaning of the associated catastrophe.
This Prehistoric Dragon Turtle might, like the Darkness She-Host, originate from a major catastrophe called [Ancient Life].
Later, it grew and returned within the catastrophe.
Or perhaps, after the Prehistoric Dragon Turtle grew, it split and reproduced, thus creating a major catastrophe known as [Ancient Life].
“Ancient Life…”
“Could the dragon god family from the Earth Cataclysm world originate from this catastrophe?”
“Hmm, the mechanism of Legendary Shadow is multi-civilization matching, just pair with a few teammates from other civilizations and exchange information.”
“If they’re Fire Transmitter civilization mecha pilots innately kind-hearted, they probably won’t be stingy with help.”
Skipping over the area and catastrophe.
The section about the number of challengers caught Jiang Chen’s attention.
When the Legendary Shadows were opened for challenge, the requirement for the number of challengers was 1-10 people.
Jiang Chen originally thought that to challenge a Legendary Shadow, one must gather a full team of ten.
Unexpectedly, the number of challengers for this Prehistoric Dragon Turtle was restricted to a single person.
“That means…”
“Different Legendary Shadows require different numbers of challengers.”
“Some Legendary Shadows can be challenged solo; some require a full team of ten to proceed.”
Such a setting cannot be a meaningless restriction.
This might signify that some Legendary Overlords possess special powers that can only be overcome with a team of ten mecha pilots working together.
Different challenger limits correspond to different legendary mechanisms.
Without familiarity with the mechanisms, even a full team of ten might not be able to clear with ease.
Correspondingly, as long as the team works in harmony and meets the people requirement, the difficulty might also be lowered accordingly.
Without teammates, Jiang Chen is best suited for solo Legendary challenges.
For instance, whatever mechanisms this Prehistoric Dragon Turtle has could be fulfilled solo.
However, Jiang Chen was sorely lacking information.
He planned to join a team first and brush up on common knowledge before proceeding.
Last, Jiang Chen turned his attention to the difficulty level.
The Prehistoric Dragon Turtle, as a Legendary Shadow, has four levels of difficulty.
4th Rank, 5th Rank, 6th Rank, 7th Rank.
Based on a 2nd Rank mecha pilot, as long as one possesses a supercharged mecha, the foundation for a 3rd Rank strength is laid…
4th Rank corresponds to tenfold strength, 5th Rank a hundredfold strength, 6th Rank a thousandfold strength, 7th Rank ten thousandfold strength.
“Holy shit, ten thousandfold strength!”
“Is this actually meant for humans to clear?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but comment sarcastically.
It was similar to the divine prodigy Ying Tian he had encountered before.
The strength mentioned here refers not to “talent strength,” but “mecha pilot strength.”
The power possessed by a mecha pilot is not solely based on personal talent.
The traits collected during growth, combined with the capabilities of one’s mecha, can also enhance one’s own strength.
For example, a 2nd Rank mecha pilot, who fundamentally possesses a tenfold talent bonus, coupled with mecha pilot traits and mecha abilities, plus the synergy of three mechas…
Perhaps can exceed the tenfold “talent strength” and achieve fiftyfold “mecha pilot strength”—
After all, the combination of three mecha pilot traits and module configurations can’t fail to enhance the strength by a factor of fivefold, right?
Even so…
For a 2nd Rank mecha pilot to aim for 7th Rank strength is somewhat exaggerated.
A ten thousandfold mecha pilot strength would require at least a thousandfold talent strength, wouldn’t it?
Could someone really achieve this feat?
“No way, I have to see who’s this badass.”
Based on the experience with the Age-Old Shadow, the explorers who clear all instances leave behind certain traces and records.
The Legendary Shadow might follow this rule as well.
Jiang Chen decisively opened the records for the 7th Rank difficulty and scrolled down to check the exploration history.
[Trial Passer: None.]
“Huh.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
It seems this was reserved for me.
Well then, that’s not a problem.
Thinking about it, it was right.
The quantity of mechas and traits available to a 2nd Rank mecha pilot is limited.
The largest component of strength still boils down to the mecha pilot talent.
Under such circumstances, achieving ten thousandfold strength was almost an impossible task.
When a mecha pilot reached 9th Rank with ten traits and ten mechas, the difficulty of achieving ten thousandfold strength would be greatly reduced.
“Since no one has cleared the 7th Rank difficulty.”
“What about the 6th Rank? This also involves a thousandfold strength…”
Jiang Chen, intrigued, clicked to open the records for the 6th Rank difficulty and looked down.
This time, there were some clearance records.
[Prehistoric Dragon Turtle (Juvenile Stage)]
[Level: 2]
[Strength: 6th Rank]
[Trial Passer: Divine Lord Civilization, Cang Tian.]
[Trial Passer: Ancient Eon Civilization, Ruis.]
[Trial Passer: Ancient Eon Civilization, …]
The clearance records of the Legendary Shadow do not have a time limit, grading, nor do they include duplicates.
Only the names of the trial passers and their respective civilizations are listed.
It seems straightforward at a glance, but also rather concise.
In the records of those who cleared the 6th Rank strength, there were only four.
Among them, two records came from the same civilization, both from the Ancient Eon Civilization.
“Why so few…”
“What about the Fire Transmission, Fire Plunder, Reincarnation, Soul Plunder civilizations?”
“There are only four records in total, from three civilizations, which isn’t even enough to make up four.”
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
According to the divine prodigy Ying Tian’s words, he came from the 8th Level Divine Lord Civilization, which still had some distance from those ancient civilizations.
That a genius from the Divine Lord Civilization had once cleared the 6th Rank difficulty partially confirmed Ying Tian’s statement.
However, there were no traces of those ancient civilizations in the current clearance records of the Prehistoric Dragon Turtle.
It wasn’t possible that those civilizations hadn’t cleared it, was it?
Even if that were the case, with the Endless Abyss, countless civilizations, and endless time…
Up until now, could it be that only three powerful civilizations have emerged?
Jiang Chen flipped through the records for the 4th Rank and 5th Rank, which involved many civilizations, so much that it was impossible to get to the end!
“Is it because of the Purgatory level?”
“I need to play a match and see.”
