Chapter 255: Chapter 173 Wow, the burst rate is really high!_1

Just as the life of the Void giant spirit appeared,

Jiang Chen had already gauged its precise strength through his Danger Sensing ability.

The life strength was about 110 million, a basic attribute level at the 7th Rank threshold.

Only Legendary Overlords could leverage Legendary Traits to exert combat power several times their basic attributes.

Ordinary abyssal monsters, even Lord-level ones, wouldn’t have too large a gap between their power and attributes.

That is to say…

The combat strength of this Void giant spirit should be around 110 to 180 million.

And Yuu?

Under the state of Mecha Soul Fusion, she received an enhancement of half of Jiang Chen’s attributes, which was about 80 million.

Next, [Extreme Battle Soul] is a mecha pilot’s trait.

Though it couldn’t provide Mecha with combat experience, it allowed all Mecha to gain a paper increase, which is four times the weapon ability effect.

Even affected by time dilation…

Yuu’s actual combat strength surely wasn’t less than 320 million.

Such a clear power comparison.

And that was just a single Mecha.

Upon hearing the words of the Void giant spirit, Jiang Chen somewhat lost composure—

With Purgatory Asura before, he had come to understand that many mecha pilots died in the abyss, their souls stripped by catastrophe, doomed to become the minions of monsters.

This Void giant spirit mentioned Mecha immediately and addressed him as a newcomer, its familiarity suggesting it was once a mecha pilot.

Having once been a mecha pilot, how could it not know that the attributes of a Mecha and actual combat capabilities often differ greatly?

It so nonchalantly approached the Mecha…

“You’re quite arrogant yourself, old Loden,” it said.

“Arrogant?”

The life of the Void giant spirit had completely emerged from the Void Rift.

Feeling Jiang Chen’s response, its emotions were very calm.

“Newcomer, only the weak are arrogant,” it said.

“Those with sufficient confidence and strength are not arrogant, they are self-assured.”

Its emotions even carried a hint of pity.

“Back when I was a mecha pilot, I was just like you, arrogant without self-awareness.”

“Believing to be the hope of civilization, I could look down on everything, invincible in all the world.”

“However…”

“Compared to the boundless abyss, mecha pilots are really too weak.”

“Even the ancient flame of civilization, over vast stretches of time, is but a fleeting dot of light.”

“I am fortunate to have witnessed the majesty of the abyss, to have encountered true legends.”

“And to have the fortune to shed my human flesh, to be reborn as a being of the Void—”

“Perhaps my growth isn’t as rapid as when I was a mecha pilot.”

“But it is more solid, step by step, even walking the legendary path!”

“Newcomer, do you know what a legend is?”

“…I know, I am one,” Jiang Chen answered, and while he managed to keep his cool, he finally understood the source of this abyssal monster’s confidence—

It was actually a fallen “hope of mankind”!

In its former civilization, it possessed the talent to stand at the pinnacle of mecha pilots.

Under such influence, it lorded over other mecha pilots with a sense of superiority.

However…

If it could have been killed by a Void Wraith, its strength in life might not have exceeded 7th Rank.

A hope of mankind not reaching 7th Rank definitely stemmed from a low-level civilization.

As for the specific level of its talent, those in the know would understand.

It probably hadn’t even fought a Legendary Shadow before it unfortunately encountered the main body of a Legendary Overlord.

There was a feeling of an old noob from a past era, both weak and stubborn.

Just like now, when it heard Jiang Chen claim to be a legend, it couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“A mere mecha pilot, you dare call yourself a legend?” it said.

“If you can defeat me, you’ll have the chance to witness His Majesty’s, the true legendary power.”

The Void giant spirit, looking down upon the three-headed demonic dragon mecha, sneered.

“Speaking of which, you must have scanned my life strength by now and think I’m nothing special,” it said.

“But you’ve forgotten one thing.”

“I was once a mecha pilot.”

“Now I am a commander of the Void.”

“Why would I personally make a move?”

“Come out, my lieutenants!”

Accompanying the call of the Void commander, the Void Rift trembled slightly.

The next moment, an Amethyst Worm with a black hide and countless purple gemstones embedded in its skin, resembling eyes, violently burrowed out of the Rift.

Its size was thousands of times that of the three-headed demonic dragon mecha.

It was as if the size comparison of a worm and a dragon had been reversed, and its layers of savage maws opened, bearing down upon the mecha to devour it.

At that critical moment, a whiff of abyss atmosphere leaked from the gemstone reverse scale on the chest of the demonic dragon mecha—

Time seemed to stall for a moment, and one could faintly hear the ticking of a clock.

Countless golden gears spun rapidly, accompanied by gold and red armor spreading across it, as a golden red steam mecha emerged amidst the gushing steam.

It took advantage of its ion propulsion unit on its back, turned around to embrace the demonic dragon mecha, and dragged it away to a distance.

In an instant, they had moved out of the Amethyst Worm’s devouring range.

“General Yuu, your subordinate has come to support,” it said.

“With your subordinate here, no one shall harm you, my lord!”

Meanwhile, another stream of leaking abyss atmosphere intertwined into a red and white Roots mecha.

It stood with crossed arms atop the three-headed demonic dragon, gazing at the enemies of the Void from afar.

“After watching for so long, it’s finally Zero’s turn to act,” it said.

“All you riffraff, do your best to please Zero!”

After experiencing numerous Legendary Shadows,

Zero, Yun, and Yuu had successfully devised a battle method.

Yuu was responsible for being the main offensive power, resting from a distance, ready to unleash the Destruction Ray for long-range attacks at any time.

Yun was in charge of secondary offense and maneuvering.

Thanks to her High-Speed Mode and under Jiang Chen’s empowerment, her power of time had soared.
