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

Chapter 342: Chapter 226: Promotion Trial, Space Necro Empire_1

Jiang Chen committed the specific effects of the two Legendary Traits to memory.

As for how to approach advancement…

The trait [Innate Machine Spirit], for the time being, he had no concrete ideas.

[Mecha-Pilot Fusion], however, could be explored appropriately in the direction of the “life virus” disaster that Master Chao was associated with.

“In any case, I need to advance first,” he said.

Elevating to the 4th Rank and unlocking the permission for the second sublimation was the focus at this stage.

After all, a mecha’s typical evolution involved merely absorbing modules, integrating power, and refreshing module slots.

Changes in other areas were not significant.

It was only during sublimation that the mecha would undergo drastic changes.

Codename, attributes, shape…

With the right combination, it was a breeze to elevate a mechanical construct’s exoskeletal armor into a pure energy mecha!

In addition, the trait [Adaptation Power] reserved for mecha pilots could also be applied to the mecha.

This enabled the capabilities of the mecha’s loaded modules to adapt and specialize alongside the pilot’s own strength.

Once the mecha completed sublimation, the entire system would transform radically!

Jiang Chen looked forward to it with great anticipation.

Therefore, as soon as he left the Purgatory level and returned to the civilization of Planet Blue Star, he immediately began preparations for the advancement trial—

The update of equipment was extensive.

Devices such as the [Planetary Modifier], [Ecology Conservation Instrument], [Defense Array Formation] were considered basic resources on the Purgatory level.

Even relatively impoverished emerging civilizations could grit their teeth and scrape the money together to buy a set.

Jiang Chen directly acquired a complete set of advanced equipment.

Given enough resources, it was possible to construct a colossal structure in space in just a few days.

If necessary, he could even reconstruct a planet!

Beyond routine equipment upgrades and replacements,

Jiang Chen also borrowed the former merchant warehouse of Shida to reorganize various functional modules.

He perfected the [Module Handbook] that he had prepared earlier.

In the past, this module handbook was not very significant—

The sophisticated ability modules that Jiang Chen loaded onto his mecha mostly came from his own production and did not require the reserves of the handbook.

When using temporary modules, if not stacked with innate talents, the effects were often poor and of no practical use, making the handbook redundant for replacements.

Therefore, the module handbook was more like a collector’s album, purely for collection purposes.

Now, however, it was different!

Under the effect of [Adaptation Power], even low-ranking modules could be made effective to a level commensurate with his power by expending some extra energy.

Furthermore, with the effect of [Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis], as long as modules were loaded, Jiang Chen could share their abilities and did not need to rely on expanded armor absorption.

In this case…

This [Module Handbook] was essentially a reserve of Jiang Chen’s abilities.

It stored a rich variety of modules for different situations, enemies, and scenarios.

At any time, he could deploy corresponding capabilities!

“Actually, this is the greatest advantage of a mecha pilot…” he thought.

“Leaving aside the modules already absorbed, a mecha comes with four temporary module slots at every rank.”

“You can replace the necessary modules according to different situations, even changing the combination of abilities and transforming the shape.”

Jiang Chen reflected in his heart.

Only now did he truly return to the genuine path of a mecha pilot!

Equipment, modules, items… all were ready.

Jiang Chen retracted his mecha into his body and sent a message to the boss Li Xiao.

Lastly, he touched the Abyss Rune to activate the energy.

[The descent into the abyss is about to begin]

[10, 9, 8…]

“I wish you vast wealth and good fortune, sir,” said Bai Ying.

At Bai Ying’s blessing, Jiang Chen nodded his head.

That’s more like it!

With an extremely high burst rate for the advancement trial, start farming!

Time reset to zero.

Jiang Chen’s consciousness ascended and fell into the Asterism.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, he passed countless stars and descended into a unique star system—

With enhanced attributes, his thinking accelerated, and his perception increased.

Even if it was just for a moment, he already had a clear view of the status of the star system.

He saw space rapidly twisting in the pitch-black starry sky as countless space warships jumped into view.

They dispersed throughout space, forming neatly arranged fleets.

In the vanguard of these fleets, escort ships upheld an energy veil made of numerous equilateral shapes, creating a defensive front.

On the other side of this defense line were strange, beetle-like starships made up of countless pale green crystals.

With their backs open, gigantic constructs composed of gleaming bones surged toward the fleets.

Almost simultaneously, numerous miniature spacecraft burst forth from the interiors of the space warships, swarming out like bees.

Jiang Chen swept past this scene as his consciousness continued to fall and landed in the midst of the stars.

[Welcome to the abyss]

…

[Current location: Return of the Dead]

[Level: 4th]

[Difficulty: Despair]

[Quest One: Within ten days, defeat the Necromancer Fleet and prevent the resurrection of souls.]

[Quest Two: Within ten days, slay the Legendary Overlord: Soul Expulsion Tyrant, and utterly annihilate the Dead Spirits Empire.]

[Description: For twenty thousand years in the Asterism, people have completely mastered spatial jump technology, heralding a new era.

Many forces ventured out of the star system and established brand-new colonies.

However, as people progressively distanced themselves from their homeworld, they were shocked to discover that many planets bore traces of civilization.

These remnants, left for who knows how many years, not only prove the existence of a once-mighty interstellar civilization but also brought people more advanced technology!

Countless forces competed to seek out these vestiges of civilization, excavate the ancients’ legacy, and absorb their essence.

Yet…

In their efforts, the spirits that had slumbered for countless years finally awoke.]
