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

The effect of this power of time deterioration was not to accelerate millions of years in an instant.

If that were the case, for many mythical lives, it would not be harm but rather an acceleration of growth.

Its essence was to use enormous energy to mimic the effects of decay and corrosion, and to directly inflict it upon the enemy, causing damage.

Even the so-called Everlasting Mortal, the long-lived, the undying.

Without sufficient resistance, they too would be affected.

Therefore, these undead beings, supposedly immortal, saw their bodies decay in an instant!

Many of the weaker undead battleships and Dead Spirits Structures even became too feeble to control the spiritual energy within them.

Just like the undead commander, they transformed into a burst of green spiritual light and exploded into oblivion!

At this moment.

Countless green orbs of light ignited within the undead fleet!

The splendor of these “fireworks” shone upon the Star Alliance Fleet above, lighting up everyone’s eyes and plunging the whole fleet into silence.

The Star Alliance Commander opened his mouth wide, dumbstruck.

He had thought the battle between the steam mecha and the undead commander—even if not evenly matched—would at least take some time to determine the victor.

But then…

The undead commander had such an imposing presence, terrifying to the core.

Yet, was he obliterated by the steam mecha with just a raise of the hand?

Moreover, after the steam mecha finished off the undead commander, it also casually released some kind of invisible destructive force.

It shattered the undead fleet’s defensive line, destroying most of the fleet!

Amongst the numerous “firework clusters,” less than fifty percent of the undead battleships survived!

If not for the fact that the invisible force hadn’t covered the entire undead fleet, the casualty rate would have continued to rise!

This…

Tremors ran through the commander’s heart.

With the power of this steam mecha, destroying the entirety of the human fleet, even the whole Star Alliance, would probably pose no issue at all!

Wait a minute?

The steam mecha’s arm had not lowered, its core energy source in the center of the chest once again radiated brilliance.

The same energy fluctuation dispersed once more, rushing toward the undead fleet.

Hmm, the steam mecha had already used up most of its energy after releasing one [Death Withering]…

But what did that matter to Jiang Chen sitting in the cockpit?

The internal energy kicked in, the flesh provided power, and the steam mecha’s energy was instantly replenished!

Second time, third time, fourth time!

In a very short span, the steam mecha consecutively released four [Death Witherings], covering the entire area of the undead fleet.

The first time, the undead fleet still had dead spirit shields, which could slightly withstand and weaken the attack.

The subsequent three times, they had to endure the attack head-on.

Countless undead battleships decayed and crumbled at a visibly rapid pace, their spiritual energy going haywire, transforming into green energy orbs.

Some undead battleships tried to activate the Spatial Leap device to flee this death zone.

But because the withering energy involved the power of time, it greatly accelerated the spread of the energy.

The leap devices had just begun to power up and hadn’t even started the leap before they were affected, the spiritual energy out of control.

In the end, the twisted spatial force devoured these battleships, turning them into different fireworks.

The undead fleet, annihilated!

An incredibly exaggerated abyss atmosphere, highly concentrated and nearly turning liquid, surged into the mecha and the Abyss Rune.

Let’s not speak of the material output of the Abyss Rune for now—

Aside from the strongest undead commander, the rest of the undead in the fleet were at most 8th Rank peak, not even 10 billion in attributes.

The yield was far from Jiang Chen’s own reserves.

The focus was on the enhancement of the mecha!

The special device, [Refining Soul Using Source], had the effect of absorbing strength when killing an enemy, enhancing the mecha soul’s power.

The stronger the enemy, the better the effect.

At this moment, as the steam mecha wiped out the undead fleet, these surging abyss atmospheres crazily fortified Yun.

Having trained before, although Yun did not have the boost of any Mythological Item, her mecha soul strength had already been raised to 42 seconds.

Now, with the boost from the undead fleet.

Her strength went straight from 42 seconds to 51 seconds, a full 9 seconds’ gain!

If converted to Zero, that would be a full 54 seconds’ improvement!

“Sweeping an undead fleet is equivalent to fighting nine rounds in a mecha challenge,”

“Not bad at all.”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

The mecha challenges in the Endless Deathmatch Arena came with mecha soul enhancement buffs, which were much better than the “Refining Soul Using Source” effect, and they could be stacked.

Now, without the added bonuses of the mecha challenge, relying solely on the “Refining Soul Using Source,” a mecha soul exercise method from a 6th-level civilization, to gain this much mecha soul strength in one go…

It indicated that the quantity and quality of the undead fleet were indeed very high!

“Another wave of the undead fleet, and even Yun’s mecha soul strength will be able to reach 60 seconds, meeting the threshold for a Talent Mecha…”

“However, the lack of a Mythological Item buff does make the process less efficient.”

“If it were Zero, the growth could be even greater.”

While Jiang Chen was counting his gains, lamenting the loss of a substantial amount of mecha soul growth, he decided that next time Zero should take the lead…

On the other side.

The Star Alliance Commander had completely frozen.

The mysterious weapon used by the steam mecha was immensely terrifying in its power, enough to destroy more than half of the undead fleet in a single strike.

This was far more formidable than the Star Alliance’s strongest “super weapon.”

Moreover, this weapon was not only powerful but also required no charging, no cooling down, and seemed to have a low consumption.

It was like a normal laser gun, allowing the trigger to be pulled at will, releasing its power freely.

Wasn’t this absurdly overpowered?!

Our super weapons, which need to be arranged in advance and charged, are inferior to the enemy’s standard armament?

This technological gap was so immense that the commander couldn’t even begin to comprehend it.

He only understood one thing.

A single mecha, obliterate the entire Star Alliance?

No, the mecha before him could probably annihilate the entire undead empire with his own strength alone!

“According to the undead fleet commander, the Dead Spirits Empire once defeated the mecha pilot civilization and slaughtered nearly all the mecha pilots…”

“What exactly has happened over all these years?”

As the commander was in a daze,

A scene in the starry sky jolted him back to reality.

The golden-red steam mecha, after obliterating the entire undead fleet, changed direction and headed toward the human fleet.

This moment made his breath catch, and he tensed up.

But a moment later, he relaxed his body and broadcast his intention.

“Disengage the protective shields, cease weapon charging, and form a welcome line!”

The steam mecha had only attacked the undead fleet from the very beginning, showing no malice towards the Star Alliance fleet, even saving countless Star Alliance fighters.

Including now, the mecha hadn’t used Spatial Leap but was maintaining a steady speed, slowly coming their way.

Clearly, it was deliberately giving the Star Alliance Fleet time, showing a friendly demeanor.

The commander let down his guard as a response to this friendliness.

“Besides…”

“If they can easily wipe out the undead fleet, even if we maintain our defenses, it would only be a joke…”

Out of respect and welcome,

The Star Alliance flagship was transmitting information and communicating with the steam mecha.

At the same time, they opened the hangar bay to welcome the steam mecha inside.

The commander himself had dismantled his spiritual energy-boosting device, changed into a formal uniform, and with many high-ranking officers, came to the hangar to welcome the guest.

When the mysterious and magnificent steam mecha, which had destroyed the entire undead fleet, passed through the energy layer and entered the interior of the command ship,

The commander and his officers suppressed the unease in their hearts and immediately went forward to greet him—

They had assumed the pilot wouldn’t leave the mecha, planning to communicate with the visitor as if the steam mecha was the whole entity.

But to their surprise, accompanied by the hissing of steam and the sounds of gears turning, from within the white mist, the chest armor opened slowly.

An attractive man, meeting everyone’s standard of beauty, stepped out of the cockpit, leaped from dozens of meters in the air, and landed deftly on the ground.

“…”

Everyone was stunned.

This pilot of the mysterious steam mecha, who had crushed the undead fleet…

Was actually a human?!
