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

Chapter 52: Chapter 50 Mecha Upgrade, Primordial Evolution!_1

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Chen had been looking forward to the mecha upgrade for a long time.

After hanging up the communication, he and Bai Ying quickly rushed to Xuntian City through the Teleportation Array.

Ten days had passed, and there weren’t many changes in Xuntian City; he made his way to the Enhancement Zone as if he were on familiar ground and met Ruan Mingyu again.

Senior Ruan seemed even more tired compared to last time.

Without saying much, she directly took Jiang Chen to the Spring of Life area he had used before.

“When the mecha was being enhanced, all the materials and groundwork had already been accumulated.”

“No additional materials are needed. Just by placing it in the appropriate environment and providing it with enough abyss atmosphere, all the upgrade conditions are satisfied.”

“Now summon your mecha.”

Jiang Chen immediately summoned the mecha and put Zero into the spring water.

Of course, he didn’t forget to replace [Seed of Flames] with [Blood Demon Transformation], reverting the mecha back to model Zero-Type 3.

Seeing him ready, Ruan Mingyu stepped forward and touched the mecha.

The next moment, a deafening sound erupted in the depths of her heart.

[Ohhh! Zero is going to evolve! Zero is going to get stronger!]

[Zero wants to become a true helper to the master!]

Ruan Mingyu withdrew her hand as if she had been shocked, her eyes wide with astonishment.

She remembered Jiang Chen did not possess the talent for Mecha Soul Perception and couldn’t communicate with the mecha soul.

Therefore, she intended to communicate with the mecha soul for him before the start of the upgrade to maximize the effect.

But what was…

What on earth was that just now?

Why was it so loud?

If she remembered correctly, during the last enhancement, the mecha soul of this mecha was still in a naive state, only capable of expressing simple emotions and greedily absorbing all resources…

What’s going on now?

Was she dreaming?

Ruan Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched the mecha again.

A deafening sound rang out in the depths of her heart again.

[Is it done yet, is it done yet? Zero has been patient for far too long!!]

[Please, make Zero stronger right away!]

Ruan Mingyu lowered her hand and looked towards Jiang Chen.

“Have you communicated with the mecha soul?”

“Hmm.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

“During the rank-up trial, I encountered a native with the ability to communicate with mecha souls.”

“With her help, I’ve been communicating with Zero all this time.”

“6.”

Did he go on the rank-up trial, or was it to nurture the mecha soul?

Ruan Mingyu was very curious about what Jiang Chen had communicated with the mecha soul about.

In just ten short days, he had nurtured a naive mecha soul into its current state…

But she still held back the idea and did not pry into his secret.

‘Could it be that he’s also a genius in communicating with mecha souls?’

Ruan Mingyu composed herself and said,

“That’s even better then.”

“Let’s start the upgrade right away.”

The Abyss Coins obtained from clearing the abyss weren’t currency in the conventional sense.

They were solidified abyss atmosphere that could be used as consumables for mecha evolution, upgrade, and enhancement.

After clearing the rank-up trial, Jiang Chen received a generous reward of ten thousand Abyss Coins.

At this moment, he took out a thousand Abyss Coins, piled them up into a small mound, and then, using a special method, converted them into abyss atmosphere.

Ruan Mingyu assisted from the side, activated the mecha, and guided it to absorb this atmosphere.

When the murky mist spewed out, surrounding the purplish-white mecha,

the light purple Roots Core inside the mecha quickly grew and expanded.

It seemed to transform into a living creature, greedily absorbing all the abyss atmosphere around it, as well as the clear water beneath it.

However, as the Roots Core swiftly expanded and pushed against the outer Crystal Rock Carapace,

the latter surprisingly cracked and broke apart, turning into wisps of dust that merged into the Roots Core.

With the influx of the Crystal Rock dust and life force energy,

most of the Roots Core lightened rapidly in color, turning into a sacred white identical to the Crystal Rock.

Another portion of the Roots Core, however, became even more profound, forming a completely contrasting purple, appearing exceptionally enchanting.

During this process, the size of the mecha grew continuously.

It was like a tree that had finally received nourishment and started to grow vigorously.

Until some time had passed.

The mecha transformation came to a complete halt.

A brand-new mecha, with purple and white as its primary colors and made entirely of intricately intertwined roots, stood proudly in the pool.

It reached a height of about three and a half meters.

Areas like the ankles, knees, and chest were covered with white rock.

Compared to its original mechanical armor, it resembled a giant purple and white figure woven from vines and wearing simple protective gear, exuding a mysterious aura.

“By the looks of it, it has a bit of an enigmatic mecha vibe.”

“In reality, the mecha doesn’t have a hint of mysterious attributes.”

“It should be considered a product of the biological side.”

After the upgrade, Zero’s appearance had changed drastically.

Especially its size, which had nearly doubled, gave it a more powerful presence and no longer resembled a close-fitting battle suit.

This change was a mixed blessing.

On the upside, as the mecha’s size increased, its strength and defense attributes also improved correspondingly.

Given mechas of the same rank, quality, and enhancement,

the one with a larger size would definitely have higher attributes.

The downside was that as the mecha’s body became larger, the strength and agility inherited from Jiang Chen would proportionally decrease.

After all, a light armor suit was essentially just a set of reinforced armor or battle gear.

Jiang Chen should have as much strength as he naturally did.

It shouldn’t and couldn’t be restricted.

Correspondingly, switching to a large or even super-large mecha,

How could Jiang Chen, sitting in the cockpit merely as an operator, possibly exert his physical strength in battle?

“Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”

“After all, my physical defense can’t extend to the mecha, and even if I had strength and agility, if I’m facing a powerful enemy, I’ll still explode when I’m supposed to.”

“After the newbie phase, the significance of additional attributes diminishes greatly.”

“On the contrary, with higher attributes, my absorption efficiency is also higher.”

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Zero,

It’s not that I’m stingy.

Since you’ve chosen to grow bigger and stronger,

from now on, you’ll probably have to walk the path alone.

“The upgrade is complete, you can now check the results.”

Ruan Mingyu reminded.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Chen walked into the pool and touched the mecha.

He believed that, with the investment of substantial resources, cost, effort, and Zero’s own strong will,

the outcome would definitely not disappoint him.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt immensely relieved.
