Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Chapter 197: Let Me See Your Limit!_1

First, he used the traits of a mecha pilot.

Jiang Chen flicked his fingertips lightly, and the chameleon-like gem changing colors constantly shattered silently, transforming into a rainbow of flowing light that merged into his soul.

Feeling the changes within his soul, he stirred his thoughts lightly.

Muscles on his back rose slightly as numerous flesh and blood fibers intertwined, quickly forming a slender flesh tendril that wrapped around his body to stand before him.

“Mechanical tentacles, indeed, have turned into flesh-mechanical tentacles.”

“However, I’ve grown even more adept at controlling this ability.”

Jiang Chen’s mind moved.

The tip of the tendril in front of him split into five sections, mirroring a human palm, becoming even more flexible, and even formed a V-sign.

Yun, who was watching nearby, picked up a bone knife and hacked furiously at the tendril, unleashing the formidable power of an Instantaneous Explosive Strike—

All the force was absorbed by the tendril, and this slash, transcending time, failed to leave the slightest mark.

“The strength has also increased…”

Originally, Jiang Chen hadn’t absorbed the [Mechanical Tentacles] module many times, and he soon switched to other modules.

This caused the strength of the mechanical tentacles not to grow with his main body but to stagnate around 5th Rank.

When Jiang Chen later challenged the Legendary Overlord, he tried using mechanical tentacles to wield weapons, aiming to increase his attack frequency.

The effect was indeed there; it increased the damage efficiency slightly.

But the insufficient strength of the mechanical tentacles made them more fragile than a strand of Jiang Chen’s hair; if hit by an enemy or clashing with a weapon, they would disintegrate and shatter.

They were not very practical in actual combat and instead became a distraction for Jiang Chen.

So, he abandoned them, and they were gradually forgotten.

Now, due to the trait’s effect, the mechanical tentacles had become flesh-mechanical tentacles, conglomerated from Jiang Chen’s own flesh and blood, with strength linked to his own.

They might be useful once more.

“Aside from flesh-mechanical tentacles, other [solid] modules have also undergone changes.”

“The [Crystal of Divine Punishment] has become the third vertical eye on my forehead, and the high-energy laser it releases has turned into a [Destructive Beam].”

“The two modules have produced a synergistic effect, and their power has skyrocketed…”

“Unfortunately, because of the poor base of the Crystal of Divine Punishment, the power of the released Destructive Beam barely reaches 3rd Rank.”

“The Ion Engine as well has completely transformed into a flesh-mechanical thruster; the ion flames it produces can switch between [Super Energy Flames] and [Destructive Beam]…”

The effects of the mecha pilot trait vary from person to person.

Being extremely special, Jiang Chen couldn’t just glance over data without even conducting tests.

Now that he had briefly experiment, he had a good idea of the effect of [Module Specialization] on his own body—

All capabilities he originally possessed were clearly segregated from each other.

Take, for example, his previously used Ice-Fire Twin Fists.

Fire is fire; ice is ice.

However, under the influence of module specialization, these two abilities had changed.

They could be released at the same time, creating [Ice Flame].

Without the need for intricacy, as long as contact was made and damage was inflicted, an elemental reaction of [melting] occurred!

“To summarize, module specialization has two main effects.”

“Physical abilities, whether they are gems, mechanical, or other types, will all turn into flesh and blood.”

“They become linked to the strength of my own body and are enhanced.”

“Unique, energy-based abilities do not become flesh and blood but instead gain increased versatility.”

“Based on the different abilities I possess, they interact correspondingly and are enhanced.”

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Just as it was described.

It doesn’t crudely change the nature of abilities but transforms these capabilities into force more suitable for the main body.

This effect already seems excellent.

Not to mention, it also comes with a doubling of the ability’s strength!

“Ordinary specialization is already like this.”

“What about Mythical specialization?”

Jiang Chen called forth the Abyss Rune, and ten vials in the storage appeared in his mind.

Within these transparent bottles floated a drop of blood, shimmering with a seven-colored luster.

[Mythical Life Primordial Blood]!

The legendary path of module specialization entailed fully absorbing the genetic sequences of ten Mythical Life Forms, completely evolving the human body into a cosmic level being.

The description was simple, but in practice, it turned out to be a bit complicated—

After all, it was a Legendary Trait!

Jiang Chen had spent nearly a month training with Master Luo to grasp [Extreme Battle Soul] and eventually integrated and achieved a breakthrough.

If [Mythical Specialization], as a trait of the same caliber, could be awakened just by injecting ten genetic types and tweaking genes a bit…

Then the gap would be too vast.

By that logic, if resources were sufficient, wouldn’t every member of ancient civilizations be capable of full Legendary Traits?

What’s the use of being a Legendary Overlord then?

Therefore, without the corresponding talent, potential, and opportunities, even if one knows a Legendary Path, awakening the corresponding Legendary Trait is impossible.

“The ‘adjustment of mecha pilot genes to incorporate Mythical Life sequences’ in Mythical Specialization isn’t accomplished through technology, magic, transcendence, or the like.”

“It can only be achieved through the foundational effect of the [Module Specialization] trait.”

“The actual process involves the mecha pilot first absorbing [Mythical Life Primordial Blood] and then controlling the Mecha to combat.”

“During battle, the mecha pilot will vividly sense the aura of a Mythical Life and gradually assimilate the corresponding Primordial Blood; under the effect of the trait, they undergo an evolution in their level of existence…”

“This power will also gradually spread to the Mecha, causing the Mecha Modules to undergo Mythical Specialization, imbued with the force of Mythical legends.”
