Chapter 146: This is Just the Tip of the Iceberg_2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
As for moving inside the magma, it’s much more difficult than in water… but that’s no longer a concern.
Whether it’s the high force agility attributes or the omnipotent Bio-organic Force Field,
both can easily resolve such a problem.
Jiang Chen piloted the steam mecha, rapidly descending along the magma channel.
At the same time, he activated High-Energy Perception, observing the surroundings through the mecha’s visor to prevent missing any special factors.
Soon, as Jiang Chen followed the magma channel deep down, reaching over two hundred kilometers into the asthenosphere, he finally observed a high-energy response in the direction of the seismic source detected by the research institute!
When this kind of high-energy response is manifested in a biological body,
it is what Master Chao refers to as “Life Force Energy”.
With the help of several hundred Abyss overlords, Jiang Chen could skillfully use the high-energy response to observe the intensity of the opponent’s Life Force Energy, thereby making an approximate guess of their strength level.
“Life Force Energy close to the strength of 3rd Rank?”
The Earth Cataclysm world has been classified by the Abyss Rune as Abyss Level 2.
Currently, this underground creature is in Abyss Level 2 but possesses Life Force Energy nearly at 3rd Rank…
In a typical rank-up trial, it would likely be considered the final boss!
At the same level, it is much stronger than the 10th-day leader of the Steam World, the Ancient God’s Descendant!
However, considering this is a rank-up trial specifically reserved for the hopeful, at the Hope Difficulty Level,
this underground creature may not necessarily be the ultimate source of this disaster.
“Even if it’s not the final boss, it’s definitely on the level of an elite monster like Master Luo!”
“Let’s kill it first!”
Jiang Chen locked onto the opponent’s location with High-Energy Perception and swam towards it through the magma.
The opponent seemed to be active in the magma layer and had somehow anticipated the arrival of the steam mecha, coming to meet it.
When the two sides encountered each other, the first collision occurred swiftly.
In the initial probe, the steam mecha merely activated Energy Overload, raising its power attribute to 0.55 ten thousand, but was at a disadvantage.
Through this collision, Jiang Chen deduced that the opponent’s power attribute was around 0.70 ten thousand.
However, that wasn’t the key point.
During the confrontation, Jiang Chen noticed with High-Energy Vision that the kinetic energy from the initial collision, through some sort of high-energy force, turned into ripples spreading through the magma layer.
It created much more intense seismic waves than what 0.45 ten thousand in power should have, causing more damage to the steam mecha.
“Is this some sort of transcendent ability that can create seismic waves?”
“Indeed, one cannot fight these monsters underground!”
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
He didn’t immediately initiate Stage 2 to unleash a deliberate punch of several ten thousands in power, precisely because he was concerned about the issue of earthquakes—
Force would propagate through the earth.
If he were to fight recklessly underground, the monster might die, but large areas of towns on the surface would likely be destroyed by the resulting aftershocks.
The abilities of this underground creature deepened his conviction.
The battlefield had to be moved!
“Entering underground through the magma channel in the volcano’s mouth…”
“This mecha has such outstanding defensive capabilities too?”
A general exclaimed as he watched the situation on the screen.
The appearance of this enigmatic mecha had, in just a few days, completely destroyed and refreshed humanity’s understanding of “military force” on this planet!
Don’t take it by its mere crushing of a few missiles—
If the steam mecha had relied on some sort of defense power or the strength of alloy armor to absorb missile damage without a scratch…
The countries would not be so surprised.
After all, that would have simply meant that the missile power was insufficient, and perhaps a more powerful missile could destroy the mecha.
But…
The missiles were effortlessly shattered, not even given the chance to function.
This was what truly made them feel powerless.
What significance would there be in using a more powerful missile, even if they switched to nuclear weapons currently under development?
The opponent could intercept these attacks with ease.
No matter how strong the military force, if it could not hit the enemy, it would be rendered completely ineffective.
This was military force of an entirely different level.
After showing off its defensive capabilities, the other party had also demonstrated devastating destructive power.
The implications of combining the two are self-evident.
That is why the nations had so quickly expressed their cooperation.
At the same time, these countries also developed an intense desire for this mecha.
It was so powerful!
Just a single mecha was enough to surpass the entire planet’s civilization and technology. If they could get their hands on it, wouldn’t they immediately become the supreme ruler?
Of course, with the lake still out there as a deterrent, they did not dare make any demands of this enigmatic individual.
They could only salivate while observing the situation from the sidelines.
Just like now, they remotely watched the mecha’s actions through the broadcasted images.
They were verifying the claims about the disaster, cooperating with the opposing side to counter the disaster while also observing the strength of the mecha.
The seismic monitoring station also kept transmitting messages.
“A strong seismic wave has been detected, originating at a depth of over two hundred kilometers… still the same seismic source…”
“According to analysis, it seems like there’s been an encounter with the mecha…”
“Wait, the seismic source is moving, the earthquake’s epicenter is rising!”
A frequently moving seismic source actually confirmed the claims of the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot—
The frequent small-scale earthquakes recently were caused by strange creatures that reside deep underground.
If they could cause small-scale earthquakes, they could naturally also gather together to cause large-scale, catastrophic earthquakes that could destroy nations and civilizations.
