“Resurrection Armor?”
Jiang Chen thought of the term when he saw the description for the [Death Control] trait, his heart ablaze with excitement.
“If the mecha shatters and first the Undying Barehand talent is triggered, followed by the activation of the Death Control trait, transforming into the death state…”
“And when the death state ends and it automatically shatters, can I trigger the talent for a second time?”
“If that’s possible, it would be incredibly powerful!”
However, after Jiang Chen examined the description carefully a few times,
his mindset gradually returned to calm, and he couldn’t help but sigh.
The effect of Death Control was: when the mecha breaks apart, [prevent] the breakage and transform into a death state.
Simply put, it delays the time the mecha shatters, allowing it to hang on a bit longer before breaking apart.
In that case, it certainly wouldn’t be possible to trigger the talent twice.
“That makes sense, Undying Barehand involves absorbing the power of the mecha…”
“Once it’s all absorbed, how could it transform into another state?”
Jiang Chen felt somewhat regretful.
Nevertheless, even if it couldn’t trigger the talent, [Death Control] was still an absolute top-tier trait.
It could prevent the mecha pilots’ biggest worry: the shattering of their mecha, giving them a period of rebirth.
Moreover, since it was a [mecha pilot trait] and not a [Mecha Module],
it meant that every mecha possessed by a mecha pilot would have a chance at rebirth!
In addition, during the revival period, the mecha’s armor value and energy value would both receive a significant boost.
The mecha pilot could fully utilize this time to fight desperately and overcome enemies that were previously unbeatable.
“This could absolutely be a core trait for a suicide-charge style mecha pilot.”
“Go in recklessly, use suicide tactics, transform upon death, and escape the abyss if the fight is unwinnable…”
“The main strategy is to be shamelessly persistent.”
“Unfortunately for me, it’s somewhat of a white elephant.”
“After all, I already have three stages, and even if I get an extra-long timed health bar, at best I can only make the boss queasy without any substantial improvement.”
Jiang Chen stowed away the [Death Control] trait.
As strong as it was, it wasn’t suitable for him.
He couldn’t afford to use a limited trait slot for a white elephant trait that didn’t fit his style.
He decided to keep it in storage for now and check the trait compendium later to see if there was anything with a similar effect but more suitable for him.
After leaving the abyss, Jiang Chen returned to the real world and immediately began to repair the primeval mecha.
It took him over six hours to restore the primeval mecha to its former state, then without a moment’s rest, he launched into a new round of exploration.
After all, time waits for no one!
The strength of the bosses at the Hell difficulty level wasn’t a secret to mecha pilots.
Simon from the Ark Organization was so confident, evidently because his attributes had reached a level that allowed him to clear it steadily.
If so, it was just a matter of time before he cleared it.
What if he decided that three days were too long, acted swiftly, and suddenly cleared it?
Jiang Chen did not want that to happen.
The achievement for the first solo clear of hell difficulty was firmly in his sights!
He was still in the Nightmare difficulty level of the Eternal Frost Magic Realm.
This time, after Jiang Chen arrived in the frosty lands, he locked on the location of the Ice Throne and flew straight towards it.
During the flight, the Frost Bone Giant Dragon came out to intercept him.
He used the Flame Control ability through the outer layer of the primeval mecha, imitating a blast of flame breath.
With just one breath, he reduced it to ashes.
Clearing time: 6 minutes and 17 seconds.
It’s mainly because the Frost Bone Giant Dragon was slow to make an entrance.
If it had confronted him at the start, the clearing time could have been reduced to under three seconds.
Next came the Nightmare difficulty level Ice Soul Tyrant.
This time the battle lasted slightly longer—
Jiang Chen went all out, activating [Mecha Soul Fusion] from the start to battle the boss in Stage 2.
Unfortunately, the Life Force Energy that the primeval mecha could inherit was only half of that of the flesh.
With nearly seventeen hundred strength in the flesh, the primeval mecha could only inherit a little over eight hundred and, even including its original one hundred and eighty strength, barely broke a thousand.
Over two thousand defense could only inherit one thousand points, reaching just over twelve hundred.
With just these attributes, it was quite difficult to take down the Ice Soul Tyrant with fourteen hundred strength and fifteen hundred enigmatic value.
The primeval mecha persisted for a full ten minutes.
In the end, the fusion wore off, and it succumbed in defeat.
Jiang Chen’s limiter malfunctioned, forcing him into Stage 3, where he finished off the Ice Soul Tyrant with a burst of Scorching Fists, completing the solo kill.
His attributes received another boost.
[Talent Trigger: Undying Barehand.]
[Mecha absorbed: primeval mecha: Zero-Type 3.]
[Attributes:]
[Strength 1691→2231]
[Agility 1240→1630]
[Defense 2059→2719]
[Enigmatism 900→1200]
[Special: Restores 22.27 Life per second (doubles under sunlight), regenerates 6.29 Stamina.]
[0th Rank Ability: Uncontrollable Mutation, Roots Core, Blood Demon Transformation*2, Seed of Flames*7.]
[1st Rank Ability: Blood Demon Transformation*12, Bio-organic Force Field*3, Thorns Overgrowth*12, Crystal of Divine Punishment*3, Flame Control*6.]
With growth in his attributes, Jiang Chen moved a step closer to clearing the Hell difficulty level.
Especially the defense attribute had reached over 2700 points!
This had surpassed the defensive capabilities of many 2nd Rank mechas!
A 1st Rank body rivaled that of a 2nd Rank mecha.
At this moment, Jiang Chen finally had the semblance of a top-notch genius.
But…
“Agility is too low, almost a thousand points lower than defense!”
“If the growth continues, the discrepancy in attributes will grow even larger.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help frowning.
For him, the attribute values of the mecha were his “growth values.”
When growth values were uneven, his attributes would show significant extreme changes.
Clearly, this wouldn’t do.
If there were obvious weaknesses in the attributes, it would be easy for enemies to target them, greatly limiting his own strength.
Just like the [Decaying Parent Body] in the rank promotion trials.
It seemed to have high enigmatic value and strong defenses, but had little strength and extremely slow movement.
As long as one had the right long-range attack methods,
even if one’s strength was a level lower, one could wear it down from afar.
“If I want to become the alliance’s destructive dragon, I definitely need to max out my six-dimensional attributes…”
To compensate for weaknesses, the method was quite simple.
Focus more on agility for the attributes of the second mecha.
For now…
Jiang Chen returned to the present world, repaired the primeval mecha, and plunged into the abyss once again.
HIs series of actions were flawlessly executed!
As long as he didn’t die from overexertion, he would push himself to the limits!
As Jiang Chen repaired the mecha, he furiously ran the Eternal Frost Magic Realm on Nightmare difficulty level time and again.
He undertook three consecutive explorations.
Each exploration, he prioritized instantly killing the Frost Bone Giant Dragon,
focusing his main efforts on the Ice Soul Tyrant.
The first time, the primeval mecha initiated Mecha Soul Fusion to confront the Ice Soul Tyrant.
He cleared some of the Ice Soul Tyrant’s summons but eventually was overwhelmed by the horde of monsters and suffered expanded armor breakage.
The second time, after activating Mecha Soul Fusion with the primeval mecha, he managed to trigger the Ice Soul Tyrant’s special form but ultimately lost to time.
Although Zero lost each of these battles,
equally, Zero improved with each encounter, growing and progressing every time.
It was during this time that Zero gradually fell in love with the sensation of the armor exploding.
With each breakage, his strength saw significant growth; such strong positive feedback would make anyone crave more!
After all, mechas don’t truly have the concept of “death.”
Even if shattered, they can be repaired anew.
Moreover, after Zero’s sublimation, he no longer felt the pain of being shattered.
Thus, all that was left to experience was enjoyment.
Nirvana, Nirvana, great Nirvana!
The third time, with the life force energy boost, the primeval mecha unleashed tremendous power,
paired with Jiang Chen’s exquisite combat skills as the pilot.
In less than ten minutes, he successfully defeated the Nightmare difficulty level Ice Soul Tyrant!
At that moment, there wasn’t much improvement for the primeval mecha,
but as the mecha soul, Zero was thoroughly “sublimated.”
It experienced the joy of battle, the pleasure of growth, and completely shed the fear of shattering,
truly loving the feeling.
At the same time, it let out a soul’s cry.
[Breaking apart feels great!]
[Sire, when can Yun join us in battle?]
[Zero wants to let Yun feel as well, the joy of being continuously filled and elevated by the master!]
