Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

Due to his talents, Jiang Chen’s mecha sustained damage more often than most people.

Therefore, issues related to mecha repair were of critical importance.

Jiang Chen had once hesitated over whether to choose [High-Speed Repair] as his third trait, but after some deliberation, he decided to give it up.

After all, if he wanted to increase the speed of repairs, he could compensate with the use of modules.

As for in-battle repairs…

High-Speed Repair would allow a mecha pilot to quickly repair damaged mechas during combat, providing significant recovery effects.

However, it couldn’t repair mechas that were completely destroyed in battle.

The reason was simple:

When a mecha was completely destroyed, its Armor Value had already dropped to zero, and it was only held together by the abyss atmosphere.

At such times, any minor shockwave that came along would completely dismantle the mecha. How could repairs be made?

Since in-battle repairs were not possible, when necessary, repair tools would still need to be used.

Thus, the value of the [High-Speed Repair] trait greatly diminished, and Jiang Chen discarded it.

Now this [Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis] trait could perform in-battle repairs, immediately attracting Jiang Chen’s attention.

“If I use this trait,”

“once my armor explodes in combat, I can retract the mecha into my body and use Life Force to repair it…”

“I could even take several mechas into my body and repair them all at once!”

“As long as the enemy cannot defeat me within a certain time, by the time the first mecha is repaired, I can achieve continuous mecha operation—”

“An endless cycle, unlimited growth!”

“Isn’t this much cooler than High-Speed Repair?”

“I don’t even need to do the repairs myself!”

As for the Life Force consumed in repairing the mechas…

Just a few mechas, with such attributes, how much life could repairing them possibly use up?

With the Life Force Mecha Zero providing a boost, Jiang Chen’s life points were as abundant as needed!

To exchange a trait slot for unlimited mecha repair rights.

Absolute bargain!

Jiang Chen already had the answer in his mind.

He touched the Abyss Rune, took out the Bio-organic Enhancement module that had just been produced from the Bio-organic Planet, and handed it to James.

“Thank you, Senior Xie, for helping with the test.”

“A mere module is but a modest gesture.”

“This…”

James touched the module and his eyes widened at the information that appeared.

Just to help test a trait effect, he could receive a supercharged module?!

That was enormously generous.

He opened his mouth to say something polite but found himself at a loss for words.

Jiang Chen knew what he was thinking and said with a smile.

“Times have changed. Once everyone grows up, the value of these supercharged modules will only be slightly rarer than ordinary modules.”

“Senior, don’t be polite. Just take it.”

After Jiang Chen had a glimpse of a corner of a high-tech civilization through divine prodigy Ying Tian, his perspective expanded once again.

As long as one conquered the abyss, stable production of supercharged modules and additional outputs from various endless modes were assured…

For those ancient civilizations, so-called supercharged modules were probably no different from ordinary ones.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had already gained the support of the entire Planet Blue Star.

He no longer needed to concern himself with the value of any supercharged modules.

Previously, he had farmed the abyss hundreds of times, acquired supercharged modules and materials, selected what he needed, and left the rest for the Big Boss Li Xiao to handle.

Senior Xie, who had saved Jiang Chen’s life once, also received several supercharged modules as thanks.

Now it was simply a matter of sharing his joy.

James didn’t know about these things. In his eyes, supercharged modules were still incredibly precious commodities.

He carefully accepted the module, wearing a look of joy.

“Thank you so much!”

I’ve become a “big shot” now?

Jiang Chen chuckled to himself for a moment.

After the 5th Rank mecha pilot left joyfully,

Jiang Chen pondered briefly and took out his personal terminal to send a message to Big Boss Li Xiao.

He hoped the boss would provide remote weapons from 4th to 8th Rank, eighty pieces for each rank would suffice—

These were for use by the Mechanical Tentacles.

After using the Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis trait, there would no longer be a need to use mechanical tentacles for mecha repairs.

However, as functional modules, the tentacles had many other uses.

Each tentacle was equivalent to a limb, able to operate some simple external weapons.

Jiang Chen had no intention of stopping his absorption of this module.

Rather, he planned to use the eighty tentacles he would obtain to simultaneously control eighty remote weapons!

In this way, he wouldn’t fear facing swarm tactics and could sweep through with remote weapons.

When facing a smaller number of enemies, he could create a barrage of firepower.

“The downside is it consumes a lot of energy…”

After placing his order with Big Boss Li Xiao,

Jiang Chen turned to Zero beside him.

“Zero, would you like to symbiotically bond with me?”

“Master, Zero would like to right now!”

Zero had been looking at James testing the trait earlier, his envy almost spilling out of his eyes.

When asked, he answered loudly without hesitation.

Jiang Chen showed a smile.

“Not yet, the one I just used was the only trait available at the moment.”

“Let’s go to Master Chao’s place to stock up first, and it should be ready by the time we return.”

“Let’s go.”

“Okay!”

Zero nodded vigorously, his form swiftly dissolved into countless white fibers, enveloping Jiang Chen on the inside, forming the red and white Mecha.

Jiang Chen piloted the primeval mecha and waved his hand at Yuu, who was behind the trees in the distance.

“Yuu, once I clear out Master’s inventory, I’ll help you collect evolution materials.”

“It will only take a moment.”

While he was speaking, darkness swept over him and engulfed him.

Yuu watched the place where the darkness had passed, a trace of loss flashing in her eyes.

She sat down by the tree and pulled out a flat screen, her finger brushing over Jiang Chen’s handsome face, her cheeks blushing slightly.

“Master…”

…

[Current Location: Bio-organic Planet]

The strength of the lords in endless mode was related to the strength of the challengers.

Jiang Chen absorbed the power of the steam mecha, and his force agility attributes greatly increased, which in turn also enhanced the strength of the Dominator.

Furthermore, Zero had nothing left but defense.

Facing the highly regenerative Dominator, his damage capability was severely lacking.

He was quickly defeated and promptly left the arena.

[Talent Trigger: Undying Barehand]

[Mecha Absorbed: primeval mecha: Zero: Defense Model]

[Strength 690,000→730,000]

[Agility 689,000→729,000]

[Defense 663,000→983,000]

[Enigmatism 115,000→155,000]

Zero possessed an 80,000 defense, immaculate quality, quadruple absorption.

This directly resulted in a 320,000 increase in defense!

At this moment, if Jiang Chen activated Boulder Form,

without any other buffs, the base defense would approach 5 million!

What a terrifying figure that was!

However…

Defense, after all, was just defense. With only the Thorns Overgrowth as a reflect damage module, it was not sufficient to convert entirely into attack.

Furthermore, the increases in strength and agility were not substantial.

The regenerative abilities of the War Veteran Dominator were enhanced, and it also had a strong vampiric power, making it extremely resilient to death.

Jiang Chen entered into fierce combat with it.

By the mid-point of the battle, since both sides had vampiric abilities, it was a cycle of life, each feeding off the other, with no waste involved.

Eventually, it was Jiang Chen who emerged slightly superior-

It was as if some old friend in the universe told him to cut it down the middle.

Jiang Chen remembered whether it was Transcenders or Dominators, their regenerative abilities made use of the planet’s environment.

Therefore, though the Dominator was different from Transcenders, lacking immortal regeneration and the weakness of day and night,

it still needed the planet for support.

The cosmic environment was its weakness!

Thus, Jiang Chen dragged its body, moving the battlefield to the cosmic environment outside the planet.

The Dominator, devoid of support from the fungal spores of the entire planet, couldn’t compete against Jiang Chen’s output with only its vampiric abilities.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen grew stronger and more vigorous the more he fought, successfully completing the solo kill.

At the same time, he also perfected the [Dominator]’s endless strategy-

Even without the temporary growth from expanded armor,

he could reduce the Dominator’s regenerative powers by changing the fighting environment, allowing for the kill.

“Excellent scraping techniques, outstanding physical traits.”

“Though there wasn’t a Mythical Item produced, as a substitute meal, you did well.”

“Congratulations, Master.”

…

The Dominator, to facilitate combat, had switched from its green dragon form to a humanoid shape.

Now, its body shattered by Jiang Chen, only the remaining parts were left, with a few stubborn fungi that still had cognitive activity.

Even this little cognitive activity was extremely irate.

“So…”

“What exactly is a Master Chao…”

“That’s a long-lost brother you’ve never met, with different fathers and mothers.”

Jiang Chen generously answered its question.

He raised his hand, releasing flames that thoroughly burned away every last bit of the organism.

The abyss atmosphere flowed into his palm.
