Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? Chapter 292 – Chapter 292: Chapter 196: Mecha Enhancement, Endless Deathmatch Arena_2

Chapter 292: Chapter 196: Mecha Enhancement, Endless Deathmatch Arena_2

Purgatory level.

If a mecha wants to undertake the Endless Challenge to enhance its mecha soul, some preparatory measures must be taken first.

There are plenty of [Refining Soul Using Source] equipment prepared by Shida before, just take them directly from the Traveling Merchant's inventory.

Zero, Yun, and Yuu, the three mechas, although they have already reached 3rd Rank, their number of enhancements is still zero.

Since combat is to be undertaken, their attributes definitely need to be fully enhanced—

After the mecha breaks, it also gains more attributes as it grows.

Jiang Chen went to the Traveling Merchant area first; while getting the equipment, he asked the newly appointed Traveling Merchant of the Rebirth Civilization to help contact the Gaia civilization.

After he left, divine prodigy Ying Tian blocked his path.

He felt it for a moment and realized that the many gazes that had been fixed on him during his last exchange with Ying Tian had now dwindled to just a few.

Thus, he joked in a private chat.

“It seems you've gained quite a few rights…”

“How is the situation, what benefits is the Divine Lord Civilization prepared to offer to win me over?”

“…The status of a hopeful candidate, resources for growth after rebirth…”

Divine prodigy Ying Tian said quietly.

“Of course, these are actually empty promises, and you, sir, don't really need them nor care about them…”

“I have negotiated with the Divine Lord on your behalf, and secured some extra resources.”

“The Divine Lord stated that as long as you agree to reincarnate, you will be given very generous high-rank resources.”

“Guaranteed that after your reincarnation, your own civilization can also develop rapidly with the help of these resources.”

“…And then be destroyed by the cataclysmic invasion?”

Jiang Chen shook his head and said directly.

“Let's get practical.”

“You know I can't possibly reincarnate into the Divine Lord Civilization.”

“Not to mention, if the Divine Lord Civilization wants me to reincarnate, they will definitely reserve some insurance measures before giving the resources, to ensure that I definitely go through with reincarnation…”

“These resources are not so easy to get.”

“So, I don't need you to bring too many resources—”

“The key is knowledge.”

“Does the Divine Lord Civilization have Legendary Paths? Mecha soul cultivation methods? What about Module Sets and Mecha Blueprints, or even the exclusive traditions of the Divine Lord Civilization…”

“You can use me as an excuse to deal with the Divine Lord Civilization properly, get as much of these things as you can.”

“By the way, get the transmigration qualification in hand, and when the time is right, just take off.”

Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

“Moreover, unlike resources, this knowledge can be retained even after reincarnation.”

“You can wait until after you have reincarnated to Planet Blue Star to tell me.”

“That way, you won't have to worry about me taking the items and then abandoning the partnership.”

“…”

Legendary Paths? Exclusive cultivation methods?

Even exclusive traditions?

These things are incredibly precious, and even divine prodigy Ying Tian only has access to a small part of them on a regular basis.

Now, facing Jiang Chen's request, he could only nod in agreement.

“Alright, I'll do my best!”

…

The resources and knowledge of the Divine Lord Civilization are pure mooching.

If they can be obtained, take them; if not, it doesn't make much of a difference.

Jiang Chen didn't consider this matter very important, he made an appointment with Ying Tian for a time and place, and continued towards the Mech Enhancement Zone of the Purgatory level.

Upon arriving at the Enhancement Zone, he had already put the matter at the back of his mind.

All his thoughts returned to the enhancement of the mechas.

With the resource reserves of the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant and the high-purity materials provided by the Material Purifier,

The enhancement process for the mechas became even more exquisite and precise, allowing complete control over every element and attribute during enhancement.

First was the primeval mecha: Zero.

Jiang Chen combined materials of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—and purified the life attributes of the materials to the utmost using the Material Purifier.

It took a full three days.

To enhance Zero to the limit of 3rd Rank.

After the enhancement, Zero's body itself didn't seem to have changed much.

However, Jiang Chen could clearly sense through his mind that the life fluctuations in Zero were more surging and seemed almost ready to overflow.

This had already departed from the invasive life fluctuations of the primeval root tendrils and was pure [life vitality].

If the body were in a jungle, it probably wouldn't need to do anything to make dead wood come to spring and flowers bloom in abundance.

“Zero has accumulated such a foundation over a long time, and has used the [Mecha Talent Catalyst], a mythological item…”

“Just one more wave of training and at the ascension to 4th Rank, I will surely awaken a talent.”

“What talent will it be?”

“Life? Nirvana? Defense?”

Jiang Chen was filled with anticipation.

Beyond external changes, the mecha's attributes also saw growth.

[Strength: 300,000, Agility: 300,000, Defense: 3,000,000, Enigmatism: 300,000]

[Armor Value: 20,000,000]

…

The second mecha to undergo enhancement was the Steam Mecha: Yun.

Jiang Chen used the Material Purifier to extract high-density time-related metal materials, taking both force and agility into account.

It also took three days to enhance Yun to the peak of 3rd Rank.

After the enhancement, to support its mighty strength, Yun's body became thicker, especially the leg armor, which appeared particularly robust.

The attributes welcomed growth.

[Attributes: Strength: 1,400,000, Agility: 1,400,000, Defense: 400,000, Enigmatism: 100,000]

…

The last mecha to receive enhancement was the Demonic Dragon Mecha: Yuu.

To call it a mecha, Yuu looked more like a terrifying creature that had flown from the wilds, with its massive wings, tough scales, and sturdy body…

Her method of enhancement, naturally, was also completely different from the other two mechas.

Jiang Chen injected the power of a Mythological Giant Dragon's bloodline to help her quickly digest these bloodline materials.

He even used Starry Sky dragon scales to strengthen her surface scales bit by bit.

After the enhancement, Yuu actually seemed to have become much weaker, her aura fainter, her body more slender as though she would melt into the shadows at any moment.

Only the growth in attributes proved her development.

[Strength: 200,000, Agility: 200,000, Defense: 200,000, Enigmatism: 3,000,000]

…

The three mechas now had around four rounds of damage each for Zero, and two rounds each for Yun and Yuu, totaling six hours.

Jiang Chen adjusted the attributes of the three mechas by installing attribute modules.

Evenly distributing the attributes from each round of expanded armor, he successfully achieved 90,000,000 in all attributes!

If growth continues at full power…

Four rounds of expanded armor per day would lead to an attribute increase of 360 million!

Vitaz, with the buffs from her shelter privileges, achieved a daily full-power attribute growth of 115 million.

Adding them together…

Jiang Chen's growth rate reached a staggering 475 million in all attributes per day!

He would need just twenty days to surpass 10 billion in all attributes, completely stepping into the realm of 9th Rank!

“If I have all attributes of 9th Rank…”

“My true combat strength should be close to 11th Rank…”

“Even with the [Module Specialization] on the Legendary Path, it's merely compensating for my insufficiencies in capability, offering little to the peak of my combat strength.”

“Barely 11th Rank.”

“Only one rank away from the 12th Rank.”

Jiang Chen couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.

One must know, he was only a 3rd Rank mecha pilot!

As a new star, rivaling the strength of nebulclass experts, his strength was nearly breaching the 10th Rank!

At this rate…

He would only need to complete the ascension trial for 4th Rank, and with a tenfold increase in accumulation speed, he could easily reach the 12th Rank level.

If he could also find a way to obtain a 4th Rank Legendary Trait, letting Zero, Yun, and Yuu awaken mecha talents and absorb them all, combining the three into one…

Forget 12th Rank.

His combat power would surge straight towards the 13th Rank!

“Oh right, at 4th Rank I can contract another mecha, and if it's a legendary mecha…”

“Truly monstrous.”

Jiang Chen couldn't help but marvel once again.

Afterward, he touched the Abyss Rune, and a gem emerged at his fingertip—

He was currently in the Mech Enhancement Zone of the Purgatory layer, molding his soul into a body, indistinguishable from his physical body.

If he gained any benefits or suffered any injuries, they would automatically be reflected on his physical body.

Naturally, he could also use his mecha pilot traits.

Next, he planned to cultivate his mechas in the Endless Deathmatch Arena.

Incidentally, he wanted to challenge the Purgatory monsters to see the true extent of his combat strength.

First, he would use the [Module Specialization] trait to enhance his strength a bit.
