Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

Chapter 70: Chapter 68: Ice Soul Tyrant, Dominating Death_1

Translator: 549690339

At the end of the ice plains and the sea of clouds stood a magnificent sky-piercing azure glacier.

The primeval mecha flew toward the glacier, and the scenery on the ice plains below began to change gradually.

Within the boundless snow and ice lay encased the remnants of the past.

There were the colossal warships, towering over a kilometer high, as if they had toppled and broken, their surfaces covered with a thick layer of snow and ice.

There were also humanoid beasts several dozen meters tall with extremely long manes, wearing battle armor, carrying saddles, and bearing robed figures on their backs.

And there were ice sculptures of warriors locked in combat everywhere, with no end in sight.

These scenes recorded the epic wars that once took place here.

In the end, everything was covered by the cold ice.

It became the treasured collection of that Undying Tyrant.

When Jiang Chen piloted the primeval mecha to the top of the glacier,

he successfully encountered the Undying King.

His stature was nowhere near as massive as the Frost Bone Giant Dragon or the abyss leader known as the Transcender from the Star of Mutation.

Sitting on a throne made of sharp ice blades, he was just over two meters tall, not even as tall as the primeval mecha.

Covered in thick armor and wearing a full-face helmet filled with the marks of frost and wind,

between the gaps of the helmet shone the dim light of soul fiery flames.

[Ice Soul Tyrant (Weakened)]

[Rank: 1]

[Attributes: Strength 1400, Agility 1000, Defense 1000, Enigmatism 1500.]

[Traits: Mastery over death, the Undying Tyrant who wields the Sword of Frost, can summon frost storms, call forth undead warriors, and plunge enemies into an eternal frozen nightmare.]

[Weakness: Holy Light.]

[Evaluation: The ultimate boss of both Hell and Abyss difficulty levels, whose power has been weakened, remains terrifying.

Only recommended for genius mecha pilots who exceed the Nightmare but cannot clear Hell difficulty.]

“Living one, why enter the land of the dead?”

The Ice Soul Tyrant didn’t move but sat on the ice throne, leaning on his helmet, watching the newcomer.

His voice was full of magic, as if it could freeze the soul.

Jiang Chen, however, did not respond to his question.

Instead, he used the Mecha Soul Fusion once again—

After killing the Frost Bone Giant Dragon, he had ended the fusion, letting Zero rest for a while.

Now, it was time for the second fusion.

Feeling the surge of massive Life Force Energy from the purple-white giant before him, its aura climbing steadily,

The Ice Soul Tyrant received his answer.

“Since you have come seeking the dead,”

“then I shall grant you… eternal death.”

The Ice Soul Tyrant remained seated.

With his voice, the ice sculptures around the throne began to tremble, shaking off their layers of snow as the soul fiery flames ignited in their eyes.

Warriors, Sword Saints, mages…

These heroes who once challenged the Undying Tyrant had now become his puppets.

Some wielded weapons wrapped in flames and Holy Light, while others chanted spells, attacking the purple-white mecha.

“Fight for me, brave ones.”

Every boss-level being possessed a variety of troublesome skills and traits.

If the Transcender’s trait was to constantly transform and possess unreasonable recovery abilities,

then the Ice Soul Tyrant was an endless sea of warriors.

Each of these undead puppets dominated by him had unique abilities, their strength surpassing that of the Frost Bone Giant Dragon, the Abyss difficulty level boss of Nightmare difficulty.

They also coordinated with each other, with some forcibly taunting, some providing healing, some attacking from a distance.

In combination, their combat power was significantly boosted!

What’s more important is…

This was just the first wave of undead puppets.

The countless ice sculptures around the throne were gradually awakening, and even the glacier trembled.

It was as if the epic war of the past was about to be reborn at this moment!

Although the primeval mecha had received a boost from Life Force Energy, possessing over nine hundred Defense and an astonishing recovery rate,

it couldn’t withstand the onslaught of so many specters.

What’s more, Zero had already fused with Jiang Chen once.

The second fusion, with greatly decreased tolerance, lasted only less than two minutes before the fusion process came to an involuntary end.

Life force energy dissipated, and the armor value, which surpassed five thousand, thinned by several times in an instant.

No longer able to withstand the onslaught of the specter puppets, it crumbled into countless fragments!

Below the fragments, Jiang Chen wore a tight black suit, his muscles becoming even more robust and well-defined, a golden gemstone emerged on his forehead, and his hands were enveloped in flames.

Like a God Among Men, he grasped the weapons of the specter.

The flames spread, burning the specters and reducing them to ashes!

In an instant, the glacier began to melt and collapse!

Simultaneously, a hurricane swept through.

Jiang Chen already stood before the icy throne, reaching out to grasp the tyrant’s helmet, while the golden gemstone on his forehead emitted a laser of divine punishment.

It mercilessly shot into the tyrant’s helmet.

“Ants, no matter how many, are still just ants.”

[Talent Trigger: Undying Barehand.]

[Mecha absorbed: primeval mecha: Zero-Type 3.]

[Attributes:]

[Strength 1151→1691]

[Agility 850→1240]

[Defense 1399→2059]

[Enigmatism 600→900]

[Special: Recovers 15.97 life per second (doubles under sunlight), 4.79 stamina.]

[0th Rank Ability: Uncontrollable Mutation, Roots Core, Blood Demon Transformation*2, Seed of Flames*7.]

[1st Rank Ability: Blood Demon Transformation*9, Bio-organic Force Field*3, Thorns Overgrowth*9, Crystal of Divine Punishment*3, Flame Control*3.]

The attribute growth during the first few absorptions after advancing in rank was the greatest—

With one hundred attributes adding another hundred, the growth was a doubling.

With ten thousand attributes adding another hundred, it amounted to just a one percent increase.

This was the simplest math problem.

After Jiang Chen ascended to 1st Rank, his attributes were still in a phase of explosive growth upon the third triggering of his talent.

Now, his attributes nearly matched those of a same-rank supercharged Mecha without the Supercharge Module enhancement.

Perhaps a bit inferior in terms of the power of the Weapons Module.

Not having grown to a very high level.

Yet, contending against a hidden boss of the Nightmare difficulty level was no longer an issue.

A two thousand point physical defense, coupled with a visibly rapid healing speed, meant that even standing still and enduring the opposite side’s attacks, might not even cause any damage.

Under the rogue combination of laser melting, flame incineration, and enforced reflective damage,

The Ice Soul Tyrant died on the spot, its soul fiery flames painfully snuffed out, its wails scattered to the winds.

The endless sea of bones also collapsed and shattered in the blink of an eye.

The icy mist that cloaked the planet’s atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Sunlight cast upon the snow’s surface, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.

The abyss atmosphere also flowed into the Abyss Rune.

[Defeated the Ice Soul Tyrant, obtained the trait: Death Control.]

A trait dropped? Because it was still at the Nightmare difficulty level.

Jiang Chen didn’t have much expectation for the Ice Soul Tyrant’s drop.

The real rare drops were definitely in the hellish, Abyss difficulty levels.

Unexpectedly, a rare drop emerged.

Traits, after all, aren’t about rank but about effect.

If not for the vast number of low-ranked mecha pilots and the frequency of clearing abyss copies, which influenced the production quantity of low-rank traits.

Otherwise, the price of some top-tier low-rank traits might not necessarily be lower than that of higher-rank traits.

Jiang Chen immediately touched the Abyss Rune.

[Death Control]

[Type: Trait]

[Effect: Grants the mecha pilot the Death Control trait, which prevents the Mecha’s destruction and transforms it into a death form for a short time when the Mecha would otherwise break.

In death form, the Mecha’s armor value is increased tenfold and restored to full, with a significant increase in energy recovery speed.

When the armor value drops to zero again, or after death form ends, the Mecha breaks.]

[Description: If one cannot resist death, then one shall control it.]
