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

Chapter 220: Chapter 153: Field Guide to a Wild Legendary Mecha_2

A 2nd Rank mecha can carry up to sixteen modules.

If five additional resonance external equipments are loaded, it is equivalent to adding five more modules!

Moreover, they are weapons, ability modules!

Such an enhancement is quite substantial!

This is the reason genius mecha pilots from various civilizations, after defeating abyss difficulties, are keen to challenge the Legendary Shadow.

These top-quality resonance equipments can bring about a massive improvement to their strength!

For Jiang Chen, these resonance equipments are equally tempting.

He possesses the [Weapons Master] trait, which allows equipment to exert 1.5 times their effects.

Take the [Gravity Metal Fist] equipment, for instance; in many battles, it has demonstrated excellent performance, providing a significant amount of power output.

At such times…

All the outputs were considered, yet the supercharged weapons module: Storm Convergence, became the most expendable.

There were already too many supercharged modules awaiting Jiang Chen’s absorption; one less wouldn’t matter.

“The output benefits of the second-layer Legendary Shadow, at the 4th and 5th Rank stages, mainly come in the form of materials and equipment,”

“The rarest outputs are only available with a probability from difficulties above the 6th Rank…”

Right.

Let alone the 6th or 7th Rank.

Even with 10th Rank difficulty, Jiang Chen could grind his way up step by step.

The only problem is, if stuck at the 2nd Rank, the speed of growth would not be quick enough; it might take decades, or even hundreds of years of accumulation to advance.

Therefore, before his attack on the Prehistoric Winged Fiend,

Jiang Chen had asked Lan Yi what the rarest drop from a Legendary Shadow was.

He wanted to know…

Whether the high-difficulty Legendary Shadow would be worth challenging for him?

Lan Yi then gave an answer.

“The rarest output of the Legendary Shadow is the [Soul Contract].”

“Typically, if a mecha pilot wants to obtain a new mecha, they can only do so through using the Nascent Form Mecha to form a binding…

“The mechas obtained this way are usually like a blank slate and need to be crafted and nurtured by the owner.”

“The [Soul Contract] offers a second method.”

“Capture an overlord!”

“As long as you can capture a certain abyss overlord, completely suppress it, and make it utterly submit to you.”

“Then you can sign a Soul Contract with it and transform it into your new-style mecha.”

“The initial quality, attributes, and the rank of the mecha obtained through this method are related to the abyss overlord with which the contract is signed.”

“If the abyss overlord has some kind of top-notch trait.”

“Upon transformation into a mecha, it can even awaken a [Talent]!”

“?”

Having heard Lan Yi’s explanation, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel slightly shaken.

That Darkness She-Host from before…

So this was what it meant.

You mecha pilots actually enslave abyss monsters?

Moreover, since it’s possible to capture abyss overlords…

Then, aren’t these Legendary Shadows left by them essentially like a [wild legendary mecha manual]?

During combat, just decide which one you like.

Then head straight to challenge the corresponding disaster and directly capture the original to use as a mecha?

Damn, mecha pilots are too wicked!

But the main thing is…

“How do you pilot a mecha that’s directly transformed from a living being? Do you crawl inside them?”

In response to Jiang Chen’s question, another mecha pilot named Bluegreen Deity replied.

“Your civilization has just advanced to Level 2 and is probably still in the ancient planetary civilization stage, so it’s normal for you to have such a thought…”

“There’s something you need to know—”

“Flesh-and-blood abyss overlords are just a small part of the Endless Abyss.”

“You might find it inappropriate to transform a fierce beast into a mecha…”

“What if your chosen abyss overlord is a starship that has developed its own consciousness?”

“Its prototype is a space warship crafted by humans.”

“Would there be any issue turning it into a mecha?”

“Moreover, there are elemental lives, energy lives, soul lives, mechanical lives, star lives, atmospheric lives…”

“For these non-biological types of Abyss overlords, transforming into Mechas is just a slight change in form,”

“Their consciousness and souls won’t undergo any changes.”

“They are merely obtaining the names Mecha and Mecha Soul.”

Lan Yi nodded and added,

“These Abyss overlords originated from calamities, having destroyed countless civilizations; they are our enemies,”

“Ordinarily, when we defeat them, we completely kill them.”

“With a [Soul Contract], not only can they avoid death, but they can also join us, gain awakened talents and equipment modules, and have the opportunity to become even stronger,”

“This is undoubtedly a mercy and a blessing.”

“…Makes sense!”

Jiang Chen fully agreed with the three people’s argument and had begun to take an interest in the Soul Contract.

After all, these Legendary Overlords were absolute powerhouses, selected through countless battles.

Whether it’s their talents, attributes, or combat power,

They had already reached the pinnacle in all aspects.

If they were transformed into Mechas, they would have endless potential and also save time in nurturing, making it possible to enhance and improve on the original foundation.

So…

The Soul Contract.

Jiang Chen might not use it, but he certainly couldn’t do without it.

What’s more,

The Soul Contract was just the rarest drop known by Lan Yi from the Legendary Shadow.

It only had a very low drop rate in 6th Rank difficulties.

And the Mecha Pilots who could clear the Legendary Shadow at the 6th Rank difficulty were only the top Mecha Pilots from the Divine Lord, Ancient Eon, and Bluegreen Deity civilizations.

As for whether the Legendary Shadow at the 7th Rank difficulty had even rarer drops…

No one in Purgatory level had ever cleared it.

Naturally, Lan Yi and the others did not know the answer.

However, this information was enough for Jiang Chen to make a decision.

“I definitely need to give the 6th Rank difficulty a shot,”

“At most, after a few days of accumulation, I can achieve the standard strength of the 6th Rank and have the ability to defeat the 6th Rank overlords,”

“While grinding the Legendary at the 6th Rank for external equipment and the Soul Contract, I can also accumulate attributes,”

“The drop rate of the Soul Contract is quite low, maybe I will have grown to the strength of the 7th Rank and it still won’t drop,”

“By then, I can move on to the 7th Rank grind…”

“During this process, I can also save up the number of civilization people and Civilization Potential to hit Level 3 Authority,”

“The requirement of a hundred Civilization Potential points is simple,”

“It’s just the 10,000 Mecha Pilots who have crossed the abyss that’s a bit more troublesome,”

However, Jiang Chen had already collected one hundred and one Paru,

So increasing the number would only be a slight inconvenience,

Just like the last motivation, hang a few more carrots, push the talented Mecha Pilots to work harder, grind the abyss more and produce more supercharged units,

Then, promote the [Two-Support-One Mode],

Have two Mecha Pilots capable of clearing the abyss take one Mecha Pilot with lesser talents, who can only assist, under their wing,

In this way, the efficiency of crossing the abyss can be significantly increased,

Originally only 300 people could clear the abyss, all adopting the two-support-one mode, would make it 450 people,

Afterward, once the talent competition over at Planet Blue Star was over,

Those talented Mecha Pilots who didn’t get the Supercharge Module had also completed their rank ascension trials and became 1st Rank Mecha Pilots,

Most of them had only enhanced one Mecha, leaving the second Mecha slot for the Supercharged Mecha,

This means, as long as they fill up the modules and acquire the materials,

They could quickly build a Supercharged Mecha and challenge the Abyss difficulty levels,

Going from one hundred Mecha Pilots who have crossed the abyss to ten thousand wouldn’t take much time with all kinds of training acceleration in effect,

“As long as you’re willing to work hard, there are always more solutions than difficulties!”

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the attitudes and efficiency of the rookie Mecha Pilots,

Of course, he wasn’t some hateful capitalist…

He was the hardest working Paru of them all!

After leaving the Legendary Shadow and returning to Star Base,

He didn’t rush to grind the Legendary Shadow but again quickly worked through the Endless Shadows for a day,

Then, with the materials and modules produced by the Endless Shadows, he arrived at the Mecha nurturing zone of the Star Base,

“Let’s get stronger together, Yuu!”
