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

Chapter 105: Chapter 91 Ashes of Zero, Cloud of Time!_1

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Chen had long prepared the mecha blueprints for Zero and Yun’s advancement.

Even if he acquired a batch of top-notch materials along the way and changed the materials to be used, it wouldn’t affect the design philosophy of the mecha.

Moreover, combining with the Mecha Soul Fusion brought a special effect.

With just a bit more time, he could upgrade the mecha blueprint to version 2.0.

At this moment, Jiang Chen arrived at the Enhancement Zone and exchanged some words with the person in charge.

He directly activated the most expensive and rarest spot within the Enhancement Zone—

[Divine Meteorite Terrain]

This was a giant room carved out of a single boulder, filled with the divine power left behind by deceased gods.

It was possible to create a temporary, corresponding enhancement environment by using a specific array, combined with some special materials, to alter the properties of divine power.

It was considered a more universally used Universal Strengthening Field, with quite excellent effects.

However, once the divine power left by the gods was exhausted, there was no way to replenish it.

Once depleted, the Divine Meteorite Terrain would also vanish.

Additionally, transforming divine power also consumed corresponding high-grade materials.

Therefore, using the Divine Meteorite Terrain was extremely costly; just to activate it required a contribution of more than a million.

Extra payment for corresponding top-notch materials was also necessary.

Jiang Chen directly activated it, his infinite contribution exemplifying caprice—

Not sharing an infinite amount was one thing; utilizing it was another.

He alone conquered the Abyss difficulty level, paving the way for civilization, and obtained the ticket to higher echelons.

Therefore, receiving the resource tilt from the alliance and even Planet Blue Star was a matter of course.

Using what he legitimately deserved naturally didn’t involve any hesitation.

Even more so, Jiang Chen checked the alliance’s material reserves and directly commandeered a small portion, having the person in charge of the Enhancement Zone deliver it.

After all, enhancing a mecha required not only main materials but also auxiliary materials that could catalyze the process.

Paired properly, they could achieve the most powerful effects.

“Next, it’s time for the enhancement!”

“Are you ready, Zero?”

“Let’s do this, Master!”

Zero was also full of anticipation for this moment.

Canceling her girl-like mimicry, she reverted to a three-and-a-half-meter tall giant’s form and took her place on the enhancement platform.

Jiang Chen touched the Abyss Rune and took out a ball of illusory flame that was burning.

This was the [Star Phoenix Egg], a Mythical quality material of the 7th Rank, one of the big shots’ gifts.

According to the description provided by the elder, the Star Phoenix was a legendary creature from a certain universe.

Born from the ashes of a star, the Star Phoenix personified the remnants of a star. From the moment of its birth, it possessed immense power, qualifying it as a legendary creature capable of surviving in the cosmos.

When it suffered overwhelmingly severe injuries, it wouldn’t die but would turn into a Star Phoenix Egg.

Once thrown into a star, it could utilize that searing star energy to undergo a phoenix-like rebirth!

Thus, the [Star Phoenix Egg] held special elements like life, vitality, and rebirth, which were extremely compatible with Zero’s path.

However, as a Roots mecha, from its body to its modules, they mostly bore a wood attribute.

Fire burns wood.

During the Mecha Soul Fusion, Jiang Chen could clearly feel the mecha’s body rejecting and fearing the [Star Phoenix Egg].

This affected the compatibility of the material.

If transformed into data…

[Compatibility: 60%]

Even with this, Jiang Chen didn’t change his mind.

“Fire can burn wood, but if we look at it from another perspective, wood can also kindle fire!”

“With proper pairing, we might be able to increase the compatibility!”

“The most important thing is…”

“Zero is on the path of life, and not the wood elemental path.”

“Locking oneself within a single-attribute path would truly be a waste of potential.”

Jiang Chen utilized the materials from the alliance’s warehouse.

He continually adjusted the pairing, altering the material ratios.

Adding a bit of water elemental materials balanced the destructiveness of fire and awakened the rebirth of wood.

With some earth elemental materials added, they nourished wood, strengthening its resilience.

Then using wood to ignite the flames, they created the surging vitality of fire.

Utilizing Mecha Soul Fusion, the details could be conveniently adjusted, and before long, the compatibility of the enhancement material was altered.

From 60% it rose all the way to 99%.

However, after reaching 99% compatibility, it came to a complete halt.

The Roots mecha had a lingering fear of flames that it just couldn’t shake off.

Jiang Chen placed his hand on the mecha’s chest and communicated heart to heart.

[Zero, do you remember the story I once told you?]

[Without burning one’s self down to ashes, how can rebirth be attained?]

[This moment now, is the time for Nirvana!]

[Master!!]

The mecha soul is the mecha’s soul.

Under Zero’s will, the mecha body completely overcame its fear of flames.

The final 1% of compatibility was fully achieved!

Siezing the opportunity, Jiang Chen immediately picked up the Star Phoenix Egg and began enhancing the primeval mecha amidst the surging life divine force and abyss atmosphere.

Illusory flames ignited on the surface of the mecha body!

One hour…

Six hours…

Twelve hours…

A full day passed.

As Jiang Chen concluded the enhancing work, huge changes occurred in the primeval mecha.

Originally, it was a purple-white giant resembling a creature woven from vines.

At this moment, the vines constituting the mecha body had nearly entirely turned to charcoal, continually drifting off into fine ashes.

There were still a few faint flames burning on the surface of the charcoal, forming an illusory red armor.

Moreover, inside the charcoal, there were speckles of fire sparks, igniting and extinguishing constantly.

The entire bio-organic mecha appeared on the verge of total destruction under the ravages of the flames.

However…

A careful observer could tell that the roots composing the mecha were burning yet still continuously growing.

It was as if they had an endless vitality and resilience, unwilling to bow to death.

Moreover, those burning flames were not wildly destructive.

They carried a faint life essence, seemingly refining, nurturing something within.

“Enhancement complete, yet Nirvana is still unfinished,” Jiang Chen said, disregarding the flames and placing his hand on the surface of the mecha, a smile on his face.

“Zero, I look forward to the day when you are reborn.”

The mecha transformed, as the Roots formed a hand, reaching forward to grasp Jiang Chen’s hand, and swiftly morphed into a young girl.

At this moment, the girl’s body seemed to be burning, even the hem of her dress scattering a bit of ash.

“I won’t let you down, my lord.”

[Codename: Primeval Evolution: Zero-Type 1 Remnants]

[Type: Light Armor Bio-organic Mecha]

[Quality: Excellent (Triple Absorption)]

[Rank: 1]

[Enhancement: 10]

[Attributes: Strength 250, Agility 200, Defense 300, Enigmatism 200.]

[Armor: 2000/2000 (Extra Armor: 4000), Recovery Rate 5.00/s (Doubled under sunlight).]

[Energy: 1000/1000, Recovery Rate 1.00/s.]

[Core Module (Absorbed): Roots Core (Supercharged)]

[Subsidiary Modules (Absorbed): Crystal Rock Carapace, Primordial Essence Enhancement, Blood Demon Transformation.]

[Core Module (Not Absorbed): Infinite Vitality (Supercharged)]

[Subsidiary Modules (Not Absorbed): Autonomous Intelligence, Super Strength, Touch of Extreme Cold (Supercharged)]

[Upgrade Module: Thorns Overgrowth]

The attributes of the primeval mecha were once again greatly enhanced.

Especially the enigmatic value, although it shed the Magic Energy Descendant module, under the influence of the Star Phoenix Egg, it had forcibly risen to two hundred points.

What’s more important is the enhanced Zero, transformed into a new form, nurturing even stronger powers.

Considering that the Star Phoenix Egg is a 7th Rank mythical material.

And that mecha evolution does not upgrade mecha quality, but merely attributes.

The power bred by Nirvana would probably have to wait until the next sublimation to be fully unleashed.

“My lord, General Zero…”

Yun stood to one side, watching the entire process, heart full of envy.

General Zero had grown stronger once again.

When would it be his turn?

It too wished to become powerful, to battle like General Zero!

It too could withstand the power of Nirvana, bursting forth with an incredible cosmos!

“Okay, Yun, it’s your turn.”

A voice as melodic as the heavens reached the depths of Yun’s heart.

Helmet vents blasted out a burst of steam, and although it was emotional, it managed to restrain itself and said,

“My lord, you have been enhancing for so long, please take a rest first.”

“Yun has been waiting a long time; it’s not in a hurry.”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

In his perception, Yun was so excited that it was about to explode, and its longing to become stronger was incredibly intense.

Being able to restrain such feelings was quite remarkable.

As for Yun’s words…

“Rest?”

“Do I need rest?”

Jiang Chen twisted his neck and moved his wrists around, stretching his body.

He gently patted the shoulder of the steam mecha, nearly knocking it apart with that single pat.

“The human body isn’t that fragile!”

“Come on, let’s begin the enhancement!”

Yun’s enhancement process was much simpler than Zero’s.

After all, Zero, being born of wood igniting fire and Nirvana rebirth, in addition to being a 1st Rank mecha with a stature of three and a half meters, naturally required more energy and time.

Yun was a 0th Rank mecha, and its figure was relatively petite, making the enhancement process much simpler.

Simple it may be,

But the materials used were of the highest standard configuration.

Considering Yun’s future path, it was a choice between an Explosive Type and a High-Speed Form.

Both bursting and acceleration needed ample strength to be sustainable.

Jiang Chen chose the first mythical material, High-Density Metal.

This was a technological side mythical material, the most cutting-edge metallic material produced by a certain civilization.

It boasted high density, heavy mass, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other superior characteristics.

To strengthen a 0th Rank mecha, even if it could not fully exert its effect, it could greatly improve the metal strength of the steam mecha.

Beyond the High-Density Metal, Jiang Chen also used a second mythical material.

[Time Ruin Gravel]

Yes,

Jiang Chen had prepared a life path for Zero and now wanted Yun to embark on the path of time!

After all, time is a noble attribute with universal application, fitting for both the explosive blueprint and the high-speed blueprint at a high compatibility.

The former could accumulate power for an instantaneous outburst.

The latter could accelerate time, surpassing the speed of light.

No matter which path was chosen, a bright future awaited!

Of course, Jiang Chen knew that time, as a rare high-order attribute, definitely could not be awakened by a low-ranked mecha.

No matter how much top-notch material was used, it would be the same.

This power simply wasn’t something a low-ranked mecha could grasp.

Therefore, Time Ruin Gravel only served as an attribute reserve and direction correction for advancement.

From 0th Rank on, every rank would see Yun enhanced with a wave of top-notch time materials.

There would certainly come a day when it would awaken the attribute of time!

“Steam machinery, time clocks…”

“Tsk, the perfect match!”

Two mythical quality materials, along with a heap of top grade auxiliary materials, and a supercharged core module.

Successfully raised Yun’s highest attribute to…

9 points.

Well, a 0th Rank mecha after all is still a 0th Rank mecha.

Expecting it to be immediately useful was definitely impossible; it had to wait until it was equipped with three supercharged subsidiary modules and completed its 1st Rank sublimation to be effective.

As for where to acquire the three supercharged subsidiary modules,

Jiang Chen had already set his sights on a target.

Abyss Level 1, Age-Old Shadow number one hundred and fifty-one.
