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

Chapter 228: Chapter 158 Mecha Athlete, Super Precipitate_1

“`

“There’s no six-arm module, huh…”

“`

Jiang Chen deactivated the triple six-arm form and reverted back to his normal human figure, glancing over the settlement interface.

The module dropped by the Purgatory Asura, named [Hundred Demons Exo-skin], was similar to the [Twilight Exo-skin] absorbed by Yuu, both purely attribute-based exterior armor modules.

They could enhance some resistance, defense, and Enigmatism.

None produced the multi-arm module that Jiang Chen had hoped for.

On the contrary, the equipment dropped by the Purgatory Asura brought Jiang Chen quite the pleasant surprise.

A Shadow Orb that could provide physical immunity!

Top-notch equipment!

Even if the duration was only 0.1 seconds, it was enough to allow a high rank mecha pilot to avoid a multitude of potentially fatal attacks during combat.

Not to mention, its cooldown time was only 0.2 seconds, with a very short gap between uses, making it extremely applicable.

In the recent battle, the Purgatory Asura had used its exquisite Martial Arts Way to combine with the Shadow Orb’s ability to dodge many of Jiang Chen’s attacks.

Such equipment, similar to an invincibility frame, was incredibly powerful in the hands of a Martial Arts Way Grandmaster.

“Moreover, according to the description of Resonance Equipment, it possesses modular characteristics.”

“Meaning, it can benefit from the mecha’s module bonuses?”

“Yuu’s Continuous Attack module, which can reduce a lot of cooldown when using module capabilities…”

“If it’s the first two uses of the Shadow Orb, wouldn’t the cooldown be just 0.02 seconds?”

“An extremely short vacuum period!”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but take out the orb dropped by the Purgatory Asura, playing with it fondly.

Since the Shadow Orb could be dropped, naturally other orbs could as well.

He planned to collect a set of them someday and, once he had learned enough from Master Luo, he could do a cosplay pretending to be a real Asura.

As for the Mythical Material produced by Master Luo, the upgraded version of Abyss Coins called Abyss Crystal, they were common mythical materials simply tossed into the warehouse.

“Exit the abyss.”

Darkness swept over, engulfing Jiang Chen.

…

At Star Base, in the beach holiday zone.

Having acquired the trait of mech symbiosis, the Mecha Repair Area had lost its value.

Jiang Chen entrusted the alliance’s construction team to transform the original Mecha Repair Area into a beach zone for leisure and relaxation.

The sea breeze, the waves, the sand, the tropical trees.

It looked to have quite the atmosphere, enough to make ordinary people linger and forget to leave.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen’s abilities had already surpassed 5th Rank; his vision and sensory abilities far exceeded what they were when he was at 1st Rank.

Not only could he easily tell the difference between a natural environment and a man-made one,

but upon looking up, he could see across a distance of a hundred kilometers, the virtual energy dome that made up the “sky,” as well as the surging star energy outside.

Although it was a 100,000-meter radius ecological sphere, it made him feel as though he was in a narrow room, completely lacking the feeling of being outdoors.

“No wonder so many high-rank mecha pilots choose to leave Star Base unused and head to exoplanets to build their bases and holiday zones.”

“With increasing strength, the habitability of such ecological spheres drastically declines.”

“In the eyes of the powerful, it’s hardly different from a cage.”

Luckily, Jiang Chen was somewhat homebound and didn’t feel confined staying at home.

Besides, he spent most of his time in the Age-Old Shadow, so he didn’t spend much actual time at the base.

He could continue using Star Base for now and consider changing it if his mecha required an evolutionary environment in the future.

He adjusted the strength of the canopy and took a brief starlight bath.

Feeling the awakening of the mecha soul within him, a notion flickered across his mind.

Gears and dragon scale flesh erupted from his body, transforming into a twin-tailed little girl and a blue-haired young woman.

Yun just appeared, bursting with energy, and spread her arms wide.

“Your servant has returned to the battlefield!”

Yuu, on the other hand, hung her head in shame.

“Master, I’ve disappointed you…”

Jiang Chen could sense Yuu’s emotions and knew she wasn’t referring to the defeat—

Armed with the experience of Zero and Yun, Yuu had been receiving [Cumulative Education] from her very creation.

As a mecha, defeat wasn’t terrifying, and being shattered was just a part of sedimentation; every battle was a chance to build up a foundation and grow stronger!

A Super Saiyan mecha growing stronger through severe damage!

So, being the third mecha, Yuu didn’t view breaking as failure but as a part of growth.

But growth aside,

she felt that her performance in combat was just too ugly.

In the fight against the Purgatory Asura, Yun was able to momentarily suppress the Asura with her speed, becoming its focus,

while Zero managed to entangle the Asura, disrupting its output rhythm and forcing it to divide its attention to dodge and use ranged attacks to avoid being worn down by life force attrition.

Only Yuu, as an Enigmatism-centric combat mecha, failed to deliver any ranged output and was forced into close combat.

As a result, she was almost disregarded by the Asura.

It even chose to defeat Zero, a defense mecha, first rather than bothering about Yuu’s attacks!

Even though she had reached 2nd Rank mecha just like her sisters, her battle was disgracefully ugly.

This sort of performance made Yuu feel that she had let down her master’s cultivation and care.

“It’s okay, Yuu; it’s not your fault but rather my talent. ”

“Zero and Yun went through fourteen rounds of sedimentation, and under the fusion state, their module intensity had already reached 5th Rank.”

“You haven’t started sedimentation, so your module capabilities can’t get a boost, and you are only at 3rd Rank intensity.”

“It’s normal not to perform well.”

Jiang Chen consoled Yuu and took out the [Shadow Orb] he had just acquired, handing it to her.

“This orb will allow you to become a shadow, and coupled with the slight concealment that [Twilight Exo-skin] provides, you’ll trigger the [Shadow Assault] effect more easily.”
