You agreed to fight mechas, but your body exploded into stars?

After completing the mecha strengthening and returning to the island base, the worldly affairs brought about by the first passage into the abyss have been basically dealt with.

Next, it’s time to swipe through the abyss and the snowball begins!

Jiang Chen was full of expectations.

After all, a complete set of overclocking modules can allow the mecha to gain a higher level of strength in advance, which is a tenfold increase in attributes.

It can not only allow parents with mediocre talents to achieve the strength of the symbol of the alliance in the old era.

You can also pile up geniuses from the new era who are qualified to pass the highest level of difficulty.

So, what about him?

He is the one with the highest profit!

To know.

Others only increase intensity.

What Jiang Chen improved was his growth rate!

If the Yuanchu mecha is equipped with a full set of overclocking modules, the attributes are increased to ten times that of ordinary mechas, and based on the excellent quality, the absorption efficiency is multiplied by three times...

By just triggering the talent once, you can gain thirty times the attributes of ordinary mechas of the same level!

Triggering the talent twice will push you to the same level of Abyss difficulty and defeat the Transcendent of Mutant Star!

Trigger the talent a few more times...

Dragging out the Land of Eternal Day can avoid the rebirth mechanism?

Why do you need so much trouble?

Strategy N: Use a power that exceeds the rebirth speed of the Transcendent to kill it instantly, blasting the life core into the tiniest dust particles, and you can ignore the resurrection.

"When I get a full set of overclocking modules, the difficulty of the Abyss will become a bit shallow..."

"Can you give me some help so that I can enjoy myself to the fullest?"

At this time, Jiang Chen remembered the information in [Civilized Permissions].

Among them, the value corresponding to [Civilization Potential] is only "1" point.

Obviously, the potential of Blue Star before clearing the abyss is a pitiful "0" point.

This means that a civilization that cannot cross the abyss has no potential at all!

He finally understood the meaning now.

Only civilizations that have crossed the abyss can have a stable source of overclocking module output and begin to grow like a snowball.

Geniuses that were originally rare will emerge like a tide as the times change.

At the same time, geniuses who are already talented will become more powerful beings in the new era.

but……

Even so, the potential of civilization is still only a solitary "1".

"What does this mean?"

"The number of times you have cleared the abyss? The number of people? Or the number of levels?"

"If the potential of civilization continues to increase, will new characteristics be unlocked or a new abyss difficulty be opened?"

Jiang Chen was a little curious.

After all, since the difficulty of the abyss is the threshold for measuring the potential of civilization...

Then there can't be a true upper limit.

No one would install a threshold on the ceiling, it would be so illogical.

However, Yuan Wen obviously would not answer his question.

That being the case.

Jiang Chen can only step on the threshold of the abyss a few more times, trying to step it into the ground and crush it into powder!

certainly--

Before officially challenging the abyss.

Jiang Chen first checked the [Mutation Star] and experienced the brand-new [Old Abyss] difficulty.

As expected, the memories, attributes, and abilities of the Transcendents in the Abyss of the Old Difficulty are all locked for a period of time before clearing the level.

He even remembered Jiang Chen, but he only remembered Jiang Chen.

There will be no more memories.

Apparently, the true Transcendent is dead.

This is the [shadow fragment] reshaped by the abyss.

As a shadow fragment, its rewards are far less generous than those of the real abyss.

Jiang Chen passed the level alone and didn't even get the reward of the overclocking module. He only gained some high-quality modules and materials.

"The Abyss of the Old Ones is the highest difficulty, so it should still be possible to drop overclocked ones."

"It's just that the probability has decreased."

Jiang Chen was thoughtful.

The strength of the copy has not changed, but the probability of output has decreased.

At the same time, a new endless abyss was created, with similar intensity and higher probability of output.

If this was a setting that existed...

Then, the other party is obviously encouraging civilization to continuously cross new abyss, rather than wallowing in the past.

"Then as you wish."

Jiang Chen touched Yuan Wen.

While confirming the abyss, I thought silently in my heart.

Transform!

Flames mixed with black ashes swept out from the abyss and completely enveloped him in it.

When the flames passed over the body, a gray-white root mecha burning with residual flames stood on the spot.

【10, 9, 8...】

[The old days reappear, and the shadows remain forever. 】

[Welcome to the abyss again. 】

Darkness swept in, engulfing the mecha.

…

[Current Location: Steam Frenzy]

[Level: One]

[Difficulty: Abyss]

[Mission: Kill the final boss: Burning Star Airship. 】

[Description: Civilization died, life became extinct, and steam machinery finally dominated the earth.

However, after a long period of time, steam machinery fell to the ground one after another.

Only the source of everything, the airship fused with the human brain, is still sailing tirelessly in the sky.

He dismantles all metal machinery, integrates it into himself, and improves himself.

He dug into the mountains and broke down the dirt and rocks into fuel to provide power.

He is like a greedy beast, devouring the planet and the earth.

Until the end. 】

[Warm reminder: Explore freely and escape from the abyss at any time (it takes one minute to prepare). 】

On the boundless land, the wreckage and ruins have been buried in dust, and only a few traces can be seen occasionally.

The sky was filled with billowing black smoke, forming persistent clouds that blocked the sun.

Under the dim black clouds, there is a steam giant with a rough shape and huge size, more like a sailing metal city than an airship.

Huge mechanical arms extend from below him, like metal tentacles, constantly digging and dismantling the earth below, transporting rocks and soil to the top of the giant object.

Then it passes through the conveyor belt and pours into the furnace, where it turns into hot fuel.

During the combustion process, countless jet-black steam spewed out from the exhaust port above the furnace and merged into the dark clouds in the sky.

Jiang Chen was driving the Yuanchu mecha, standing in the distance, watching all this.

"Belonging to the world of steam machinery..."

When he first saw the name [Steam Frenzy], he almost thought it was the steam world he encountered during the upgrade trial.

However, he quickly reacted.

impossible.

Shadows of the Old are usually named according to the type of disaster and the type of enemy.

Just like the enemy of the Eternal Frost Demon Realm is the Ice Soul Tyrant, the enemy of out-of-control machines is the Out-of-control Titan...

The enemy of the steam craze is naturally steam machinery.

If it were a steam world of promotion trials, the leader should be an aberrant monster or an ancient god.

On the contrary, it will not be the type of steam machinery.

The subsequent development also confirmed Jiang Chen's idea——

He spent more than a day going home to visit relatives and strengthening his mecha.

During this process, although Blue Star did not have many geniuses who passed the basic trials, the original mecha masters would not disappear because of this.

They are full of enthusiasm and curiosity about the new [Steam Craze].

They began to explore one after another, wanting to obtain the latest materials and modules.

Even if you don't use it yourself, if the alliance has no inventory, the value will increase and the income will be higher.

In just one day, the easy, normal, hard, and nightmare difficulties of Steam Frenzy have been successfully conquered!

Even the Burning Star Airship, as a low-difficulty "hidden BOSS", has been explored by several talented mecha masters.

And completed the first kill of the hidden BOSS on easy difficulty.

During this process, the background of Steam Frenzy, some of the abilities and attribute tendencies of the final boss were also partially revealed.

Before Jiang Chen started exploring, he specifically checked the information.

Learn a little bit about the details of the abyss.

Follow the post description.

Steammania is a world where steam and the supernatural are combined, and it can be considered a peaceful development.

Until one day, when a scientist was on the verge of death, he modified his brain and merged it with the operating core of the steamship.

He... or He, ushered in a new life, and at the same time fell into madness.

He first modified and enhanced the airship and quickly conquered a city.

He transformed the city residents into a state similar to his own, forming a biochemical steam machine to continuously expand his force...

After a long war, a powerful steam craze finally swept the world.

However, the steam machinery that was transformed has lost its will and turned into a walking zombie.

Civilization has fallen.

This is the background inferred by the mecha masters based on the situation in the abyss, and may be different from the real situation.

However, the attributes of the Burning Star Aircraft are absolutely real.

Even if the Abyss difficulty is higher than the Easy difficulty, there will be many more abilities and moves, and the attributes will increase dozens of times.

There will be no change in tendency.

"The main attribute of the Burning Star Airship is strength."

"The secondary attribute is defense."

"Agility and mystery are low, but not too low."

"In addition, as a large BOSS, his unmarked blood volume and energy are also his absolute advantages."

Jiang Chen was hiding on the ground, observing the Burning Star Skyship from a distance, and did not act rashly.

Judging from the experience of Mutant Star.

These Abyss difficulty bosses not only have powerful attributes, but most of them will also produce corresponding powerful abilities that can destroy the balance according to their own attribute tendencies!

If we say that the Transcendent's [Infinite Rebirth] ability comes from his powerful resilience.

So……

Judging based on the attribute tendencies of this burning star airship and its low-difficulty attack method.

His special ability is most likely powerful [firepower]!

He may have relied on a certain powerful weapon firepower to destroy the resistance of human civilization and cause the steam craze to sweep across the planet.

If Jiang Chen rashly initiates a fight, he will probably get hit with a big move.

To cope with this.

Jiang Chen searched the alliance's module library, prepared the [Absorbent Coating] module, and replaced the [Autonomous Intelligence] module of the Yuanchu Mecha.

This module can effectively reduce the detection range of radar and other equipment and improve the concealment of the aircraft.

It is an accessory module specially designed to target low-level technology side BOSS.

At this time, Jiang Chen relied on the effect of the absorbing coating to fly the Yuanchu mecha close to the ground at low speed, and quickly approached the Burning Star Skyship in a near-stealth manner.

However, the Burning Star Airship is the true Lord of the Abyss after all.

When he gets close enough.

The Burning Star Airship noticed the existence of the Yuanchu Mecha.

The layered metal structures on the body surface quickly opened up under the connection of the gears.

A huge brass-colored cannon aimed at the Yuanchu mecha flying close to the ground from a distance, and began to light up with a dazzling white light.

However, when the white light reached a certain level, it did not eject, but stabilized at this stage.

At the same time, the metal plate on the surface of the Burning Star Aircraft changed positions, forming an expressionless metal face.

"Who are you."

obviously.

As the abyss world that has just been "opened".

The Burning Star Airship has never seen a mecha master before, nor has it experienced a challenger.

I don't understand why a strange thing suddenly appears on a planet where civilization has disappeared.

"Are you from another planet?"

Jiang Chen did not answer his question.

Now it is the real Abyss difficulty. Letting him know too much information will only make it more difficult for future mecha masters to clear the level.

Just do it and it’s done!

Machine soul fusion, start!

The life energy spread, and the flight speed of the Yuanchu Mecha suddenly increased.

The burning star airship seemed to feel the threat and stopped asking questions. The white light that was ready to go was finally released completely.

A surging beam of light spurted out and bombarded the ground!

As the light and shock waves spread, the rocks melted, the ground sunken, and the world was illuminated by light.

However……

However, the Ember Giant faced a rapidly melting ice shield and rushed out of the range of the white light in an instant. Driven and accelerated by the flames, it rushed to the edge of the Burning Star Skyship.

It was like a gray-white missile that hit the hot muzzle of the cannon that had just extinguished its light, smashing a huge groove into the hard metal barrel.

Then, he grabbed the dent with his fingers and ripped the gun barrel out of the Star-Burning Skyship!

When Jiang Chen's true power reached nine thousand two.

The strength attribute of the second-stage Yuanchu Mecha is already close to 5,000.

Even if it is still not comparable to the Transcendent, there is still no problem in disassembling the parts of an airship.

Boom!

There were gaps on the side of the airship, parts were constantly broken and damaged, and they fell heavily to the ground, splashing countless smoke and dust.

The metal face on the surface is still indifferent.

"You seem to know me very well, know my weapons, and know my shortcomings."

"Are you a survivor from the past?"

"pity……"

"After a long transformation, I have long made up for this shortcoming."

As the sound rang out, the huge steam boat spewed out a large amount of black smoke, and the surface structure began to change.

The gears rotate, the metal shifts, cumbersome structures are discarded, and the furnace shrinks toward the center...

In a short period of time.

The Burning Star Skyship underwent a shrinkage change, shrinking five times in size.

The overall structure has changed from being cumbersome and rough to being compact and full of design beauty.

The speed has achieved a qualitative leap!

As the steam ejected and energy began to be supplied, the muzzles protruded from the sides and lit up with dazzling white light.

"Destroy it."

After shrinking, the agility of the burning star airship increased to at least 6,000.

The second-stage Yuanchu mecha is not even agile enough to reach four thousand.

There was no chance to dodge, and he was completely enveloped and engulfed in white light!

The ice wall melted rapidly, and the armor value of the Yuanchu mecha also dropped rapidly, completely returning to zero!

When the roots are completely reduced to ashes, they disappear with the flames.

The pilot of the Yuanchu Mecha was forced to be exposed to the turret of the Burning Star Skyship and accepted the baptism of white light.

However……

When the white light goes out.

The driver raised his hands, looked at the rapidly recovering burnt skin, and finally spoke.

"That's it?"

Jiang Chen looked at the Burning Star Skyship again with a strange look in his eyes.

He is worried that the BOSS output is too high, there is a violent output mechanism, a preparation module, and a hidden raid...

result……

A cannon shot down and barely broke his own defense?

By the way, how defensive are you?

[Trigger talent: Undead unarmed. 】

[Absorbed Mecha: Yuanchu Mecha·Zero·Ember Type 1. 】

【Attributes:】

【Power 9251→10001】

[Agility 6700→7300]

【Defense 11029→11929】

【Mysterious 5100→5700】

[Special: Three times the upper limit of vitality, 119.17 life recovery per second (double under sunlight), 28.79 physical energy. 】

Oh, twelve thousand.

Jiang Chen's smile gradually bloomed.

He floated in the air, looking towards the distance to see whether it was the shelling cooling down or the burning star airship that fell into silence.

"Have you finished the fight?"

"Even if it's a turn-based system, it's my turn to output."

Bang! !

The air-breaking wave spread, Jiang Chen turned into a missile, and punched the side of the Burning Star Skyship.

Ice crystals spread and metal shattered.

The still huge Burning Star Skyship was just punched and sent flying!
