Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Chapter 95: Steam Mecha Upgrade, The Hope of Other Civilizations!_1

After Li Xiao left, Jiang Chen looked at the vast ecological sphere area with a smile on his face.

Moving from the island base to the Star Base was like upgrading from a blunderbuss to a cannon.

However, compared to touring his new home, the mecha upgrade was more important.

Jiang Chen had Bai Ying start tidying up the house while he made his way to the [Star Mecha Strengthening Field] via the teleportation array formation.

Unlike the residential area filled with birdsong and floral fragrance,

the Star Base’s strengthening field was covered by a searing red dome, as if one were inside molten lava, with an intense heat radiating through the air.

In the center stood a giant black column of unknown material that reached the dome, its surface riddled with huge holes.

Gold-red liquid flowed from these holes, running across the blackened earth to form rivers that converged into fiery pools.

This was fluidized star energy extracted through magical methods, far hotter than lava.

“Set the energy temperature to the highest, then take a bath in the pool…”

“It’s practically bathing inside a star, isn’t it?”

Of course, Jiang Chen wasn’t actually going to take such a risk.

His body hadn’t been forged a thousand times over; its purity was far from being able to withstand a bath inside a star.

Moreover, he was there for a mecha upgrade, serious business to attend to.

He approached a star energy pool and adjusted the concentration and temperature of the energy using the provided control panel.

After setting it to an acceptable level,

Jiang Chen touched the Abyss Rune, releasing the steam mecha and placing it on a small platform at the center of the energy pool.

By this time, the steam mecha had shed its [Autonomous Intelligence] module and was fitted with a full set of supercharged modules.

There had also been a slight change in appearance.

Especially at the chest, where a small, circular device now sat, resembling a tiny sun emitting gold-red light.

This was the core module [Star Energy].

“Yun, the time for the upgrade has come,”

“The long accumulation will finally transform into power!”

[Your Highness, I will not disappoint your expectations!]

The voice of Yun, carried through the trait of the Mechanical Soul, resonated deep within.

Jiang Chen saw the moment had arrived, raised his hand and scattered a large number of Abyss Coins, transforming them into abyss atmosphere, which crazily surged toward the center!

Simultaneously, the star energy within the pool appeared to be drawn by something, flowing up the platform’s intricate designs.

It was like golden light illuminating upwards, from the bottom of the steam mecha, lighting up the gaps and converging towards the round core at its chest.

At that moment, the steam mecha suddenly emitted a massive amount of white steam, enveloping itself completely.

Only the sound of machinery gears operating could be heard, along with the increasingly bright and rising energy core.

A moment later, the white steam gradually dissipated.

In a hazy view, a brand-new steam mecha quietly emerged.

It stood about four meters tall, wide-framed but not bulky, with its overall color still brass, leaning more towards gold, and with many flame-like red patterns added to the seams and connections.

The center of its chest housed the bright gold-red core, with exhaust pipes still retained at the heels, wrists, and waist.

In particular, the metal exhaust pipes on its shoulders were several sizes larger than the others.

Jiang Chen stepped into the energy pool and touched the gold-red mecha in front of him.

The information of the Abyss Rune then appeared.

[Code Name: Supercharged Steam·Yun]

[Type: Light Armor Power Mecha]

[Quality: Flawless (4-fold Absorption)]

[Rank: 1st]

[Enhancement: Zero]

[Attributes: Strength 900, Agility 900, Defense 800, Enigmatism 100.]

[Armor Value: 10,000/10,000.]

[Energy: 13,000/13,000, Recovery Rate 1.0/s.]

[Core Module (Absorbed): Star Energy (Supercharged)]

[Subsidiary Modules (Absorbed): Energy Overload (Supercharged), Power Enhancement (Supercharged), Titan Armor (Supercharged).]

[Core Module (Not Absorbed): Not Loaded]

[Subsidiary Modules (Not Absorbed): Not Loaded]

[Upgrade Module: Limitation Unlock (Supercharged)]

[Limitation Unlock (Supercharged)]

[Rank: 2nd]

[Quality: Flawless (Random Armor Enhancement)]

[Type: Upgrade Module]

[Effect One: When overloaded at full power, part of the armor can be sacrificed to temporarily raise the overload limit, unleashing a stronger force.]

[Effect Two: Temporarily lowers self-defense by 30% to increase the overload effect by 100% (including energy consumption, armor loss, and attribute enhancement.)]

[Description: Ignite my cosmos!]

Jiang Chen regarded the steam mecha’s attributes with only one word of appraisal.

Powerful!

Zero had merely a hundred or so base attributes when it first completed the upgrade, with the highest defense at just one hundred thirty.

But now, with the enhancement of the full supercharged modules, Yun had just been upgraded and already possessed nearly one thousand in all attributes—

And that was without even activating burst mode!

If [Energy Overload] and [Limitation Unlock] were to be activated together,

then in a span of fifty seconds, Yun’s strength and agility attributes would reach an astonishing level of four thousand nine hundred!

Keep in mind, this is without Mecha Soul Fusion, the first stage of strength!

“In name, it’s a 1st Rank mecha, but its actual strength has already reached the 2nd Rank!”

“Unfortunately, Yun is a steam mecha and has not loaded a repair module, so its ability to sustain combat is somewhat limited.”

“In order to restore the Armor Value, I must consume materials myself to repair it by hand.”

In fact, that’s the normal state for an ordinary mecha pilot.

Mechas don’t need fuel to operate and can even restore energy over time, already qualifying as perpetual motion machines.

As mechanical creations, except for special modules, they cannot possibly possess the ability to self-repair.
