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

Jiang Chen kept the specific effects of the two legendary traits in mind.

As for how to explore and advance...

[Innate Mechanical Soul] trait, I don’t have many ideas for the moment.

With the [Body Fusion] trait, you can properly explore the "Life Virus" disaster that Master Chao belongs to.

"No matter what, let's upgrade first."

Raising the level to the fourth level and opening the authority for the second sublimation is the focus of the current stage.

After all, ordinary mecha evolution only involves absorbing modules, integrating power, and refreshing module slots.

The rest of the changes are not significant.

Only when sublimating, the mecha will undergo huge changes.

Code name, attributes, form...

As long as you get the right combination, it's easy to transform a mechanically constructed exoskeleton armor into a pure energy mecha!

In addition, [Strength of Adaptation], as a mecha master trait, can also be applied to mechas.

The module capabilities loaded on the mecha will be adapted and specialized according to its own strength.

Once the mecha completes its sublimation, the entire system will undergo earth-shaking changes!

Jiang Chen was looking forward to it.

Therefore, after he left the purgatory level and returned to the Blue Star Civilization, he immediately started preparations for the promotion trial——

There are a lot of updates to the equipment.

Equipment such as [Planet Transformer], [Ecological Maintainer], and [Defense Array] are all basic resources when placed in the purgatory layer.

Even a relatively poor new civilization can bite the bullet and scrape together money to buy one.

Jiang Chen directly made a complete set of high-end equipment.

As long as sufficient resources are provided, a giant structure in space can even be built in just a few days.

If necessary, the planet can even be reconstructed!

Except for the replacement of common equipment.

Jiang Chen also borrowed Shi Da's former traveling merchant warehouse to re-integrate various functional modules.

Completed the [Module Manual] he had prepared.

Once upon a time, this module manual meant little -

Most of the top-quality ability modules Jiang Chen loaded into the mecha came from his own output and did not require reserves in the manual.

When using temporary modules without the superposition of talents, the effect is often very poor and useless, and there is no need for manual replacement.

Therefore, the module manual is more like a card collection book, purely for collection.

But it’s different now!

Under the influence of [Power of Adaptation], even low-level modules can exert power that meets the level as long as they spend more energy.

Coupled with the effect of [Body Symbiosis], Jiang Chen can share abilities as long as the module is loaded, without the need for explosive armor absorption at all.

In this situation……

This [Module Manual] is roughly equivalent to Jiang Chen's ability reserve.

It stores a variety of rich modules for different situations, different enemies, and different scenes.

No matter what time, the corresponding ability will be available!

"Actually, this is the mecha master's biggest advantage..."

"Disregarding the modules that have been absorbed, each mecha level has four temporary module slots."

"You can replace the required modules at any time according to different situations, or even change the combination of abilities and change the form."

Jiang Chen sighed in his heart.

Now he has returned to his true path as a mecha master!

Equipment, modules, and props are all ready.

Jiang Chen took all the mechas back into his body and sent a message to boss Li Xiao.

Finally, touch the abyss pattern to activate the energy.

【The descent into the abyss is about to begin】

【10, 9, 8...】

"I wish you good fortune, my lord."

Hearing Bai Ying's blessing, Jiang Chen nodded.

Isn’t this just right!

Upgrade trial with super high explosion rate, start grinding!

Time returns to zero.

Jiang Chen's consciousness rose into the sky and fell into the stars.

He was like a meteor streaking across the sky, passing by countless stars, before falling into a unique galaxy——

Accompanied by improved attributes, faster thinking, and enhanced perception.

Even if it was only for a moment, he could already clearly see the situation in this galaxy.

In the dark starry sky, the space was rapidly distorting, and countless space battleships were jumping in.

They were scattered in space, forming neatly arranged fleets.

Among them, the frigate at the front of the fleet held up an energy curtain composed of a large number of equilateral shapes, forming a defensive front.

Opposite this defensive line is a strange beetle-like starship made of countless green crystals.

The backs of these starships were open, and countless huge structures that seemed to be made of crystal bones were rushing towards the fleet.

Almost at the same time, numerous micro airships rushed out of the space battleship and flew away like swarms of bees.

Jiang Chen glanced at this scene, and his consciousness continued to fall, falling into the stars.

【Welcome to the abyss】

…

[Current Location: Return of the Dead]

[Level: four]

[Difficulty: Despair]

[Mission 1: Defeat the undead fleet within ten days and prevent the resurgence of the undead souls. 】

[Mission 2: Within ten days, eliminate the legendary lord: the soul-controlling tyrant, and completely destroy the undead empire. 】

[Description: Twenty thousand years have passed since the stars, people have completely mastered the space leap technology, and a new era has arrived.

Many forces went out of the galaxy and established new colonies everywhere.

However, as people get farther and farther away from their home planet, they suddenly discover that traces of civilization remain on many planets.

These traces that have remained for who knows how many years not only prove that a powerful interstellar civilization once existed, but also brought more advanced technology to people!

Countless forces are vying to find traces of civilization, excavate the legacy of ancient civilization, and absorb the essence.

However……

Thanks to their efforts, the souls of the dead who had been sleeping for countless years finally revived.

They will awaken the monarchs of the past, return from the ancient times, and dominate the starry sky again. 】

[Warm reminder: The Abyss Trial must be completed before you can leave. 】

"...interstellar civilization?"

"The span is a bit big."

Jiang Chen glanced over.

He was standing on the top of a reddish-brown hill, with the endless red land below him.

There are canyons and craters, but there are no human structures, and there are no signs of life.

He activated his perception and scanned the entire planet.

Not even a breath of life was found.

Obviously, this is the most common lifeless planet in the starry sky.

Considering that the internal mineral resources are rich, after the local civilization develops in the future, it can be converted into a planetary mine.

The arrival point this time is not inside civilization, but the wilderness Death Star.

Plus the background description given by Yuan Wen.

Obviously, this is the front line of the battle between interstellar civilization and undead disaster.

"Starfleet, Space Leap..."

"If we hadn't harvested some civilization inheritance from the Purgatory layer, the technological level here would have far exceeded that of Blue Star."

Jiang Chen was amazed in his heart.

Even without the existence of mecha masters, just relying on this level of technological power, the civilization here is enough to eliminate many disasters.

It is for this reason.

When the local "Covenant Alliance" civilization encountered a disaster, the intensity of the corresponding disaster also directly increased to the interstellar level.

"Now is the promotion trial. The intensity of the disaster will not be too much higher than mine, nor will it be too weak."

"I now have ninth-level attributes, which represent the true intensity of the undead disaster. It should be above tenth level, starting from Nebula level."

"I just don't know what level of legendary lord this soul-controlling tyrant is..."

Jiang Chen estimated the enemy's strength and looked beyond the starry sky.

Although he was standing on the planet, he could clearly perceive all the conditions in the starry sky.

Including the number of humans within the Covenant fleet, the number of undead in the enemy fleet, the comparison of the life strength of both sides, the comparison of weapon strength...

In fact, he could even analyze the fleet's functions at a glance from a distance.

The reasons and situation of the battle between the two sides can be clearly understood——

Within the fleets of both sides, there is some kind of powerful long-range energy weapon, which contains enough power to destroy the planet.

If released wantonly, it can easily span long distances and directly wipe out the opponent's fleet.

Therefore, the energy shield must be maintained at all times to avoid such ultra-long-range strikes.

The issue is……

These energy shields are not perfect.

It cannot distinguish the source of energy, and will block the long-range energy weapons of friendly forces together with the enemy.

They don't seem to have a solution to this problem.

A new tactical system can only be established based on this situation:

The capital ship stopped at an extremely long distance, held up an energy shield, stored energy, aimed at the enemy, and was ready to launch at any time.

Then arrange small ships to leave the energy shield range and carry out strikes at close range.

If one side temporarily turns off the energy shield, attacking small ships will be directly wiped out by weapons of mass destruction.

If ignored, small ships can fly over to destroy the energy shield and provide the main fleet with an output opportunity.

Therefore, a small fleet must also be arranged to respond.

As a result, this weird battle situation occurred——

Starfleet lined up quietly in the distance with energy shields.

Both sides dispatched Necromancers and small assault ships respectively to engage in close combat.

The winning side will control the entire battle!

"It's a battle in the interstellar era, right?"

Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed.

Of course, there is a difference between this and the generals in ancient wars who killed each other.

The small combat ships dispatched by both sides are only relatively small in size and more flexible in action.

The actual energy level contained is not low.

Coupled with the exaggerated power of technological weapons, every small warship has the ability to destroy civilization on the ground!

This is real interstellar war!

Unfortunately……

The human fleet is doomed.

[Codename: Necronomicon Structure]

[Strength: 500 million, equipped with high-powered melee weapons, capable of self-destructing when necessary, and damaging all targets within range. 】

[Speed: 500 million, with short-distance jump capability, combined with the overall structure, better flexibility. 】

[Defense: 1 billion, can turn on the energy shield, greatly reducing the power of long-range weapons. 】

[Evaluation: Excellent self-destructive mecha. 】

…

[Codename: Small folding machine. 】

[Strength: 100 million, poor energy reserves, insufficient energy intensity, and lack of means to break the energy shield. 】

[Speed: 100 million. Although it has the ability to jump short distances, the number of times is limited due to energy issues. Lack of flexibility after being snug. 】

[Defense: 200 million. To facilitate output, the energy shield is an incomplete version with limited defensive properties. 】

[Evaluation: Cannon fodder. 】

When Jiang Chen looked over, the two sides had already made contact and started fighting.

He can easily identify the specific data of both sides through the battle situation.

Through the data, it can be clearly seen that the human camp's fighters have a huge shadow of the necromantic structure, but their abilities in all aspects are far inferior.

More than one step behind.

This resulted in a completely one-sided battle situation in the starry sky.

A shuttle of energy weapons from the small warp machine came over and hit the energy shield of the undead structure, causing almost no damage.

The undead structure made a short jump directly, jumped behind the jump machine, and waved the dark green energy light knife.

After just a brief pause, he cut through the broken shield of the warp machine and chopped the body open directly!

After only a moment of fighting, countless explosions lit up.

Necronomicon structures rushed out of the debris, carrying energy knives, and continued to pounce on the next enemy.

The picture freezes here——

Jiang Chen looked at the sky, his thinking speed increased to the extreme, making time almost stand still in his eyes.

He can slowly observe the battle situation and think about his next move.

"The rear fleet and the frontline battlefield..."

"Let's fight the frontline battlefield first."

"If these undead structures are not cleared away, they are enough to kill the entire warp fleet... This should be the main fleet of the Covenant civilization. Although it is a bit weak, it cannot be given away like this."

"As for the rear fleet of the Necrons, since they are holding on to the energy shield and cannot move, the weapons of the Star Alliance fleet can still pose a threat to them."

"Don't worry about it for now."

Jiang Chen made a judgment with a thought in his mind.

"cloud."

【The end will be here! 】

As the heart sounds, countless gears and metal plates appear from the flesh and blood.

A moment later, a huge golden-red steam mecha stood on the top of the hill——

The interstellar battlefield is extremely large and the number of undead structures is extremely large. If you want to clear them all, the best choice is definitely the space system mecha.

However, Vitas didn't like fighting, so she was replaced by Yun.

As for the time mecha, how to move in space...

Jiang Chen has become more and more proficient in using the [Mechanical Soul] trait. Since he can use the time ability to accelerate the mecha, he can also use the space ability to transfer the mecha.

The steam mecha disappeared on the spot, and in the next moment, it was already outside the planet.

…

"A high-energy reaction occurred on planet T-73!"

In the Covenant fleet, the human commander was sitting on a chair, but his head was connected with various thin lines and pipes, and a large number of patterns were drawn on the surface of his skin.

This is a special device that strengthens the brain and psychic abilities, thereby increasing the speed of thinking.

Interstellar warfare is too fast-paced and extremely wide-ranging.

As a fleet commander, only with the corresponding thinking speed and reaction can we truly control the overall situation.

At this time, with the supply of many psykers, the commander's thinking speed has exceeded that of the calculating machine.

While he was observing the battle situation, he caught a trace of high-energy reaction coming from the direction of the planet.

"what?"

With the help of fleet equipment, he cast his "eyes" over it.

But he saw a fantasy-colored steam mecha floating in space that seemed to have come out of an ancient drama.

This antique mecha, which is like a work of art, is extremely fast.

Leaving a residual image in his consciousness, he started to jump and disappeared from the place.

next moment.

The situation in the space battlefield has changed dramatically.

The golden-red steam mecha appeared behind countless undead structures almost at the same time——

The strong energy shields of these undead structures were as fragile as tissue paper, and were cut off along with their cores by the hundred-meter-long ship-cutting sword.

The green light that originally spread across the starry sky was like turning off the lights and turning off the switch.

Starting from the edge, it quickly dimmed at an extremely alarming speed and spread to the entire battlefield!

Human commander: "...what!"
