Chapter 58: Chapter 56 Watch Carefully, This Is How to Use Reflective Damage_1
Translator: 549690339
Based on the experience from the basic trial: Ruins of Mutation.
The abyss leader [Evolver] required to be killed by the mission, is mostly located underground surrounded by dense vines, representing the branches of roots.
Therefore, Jiang Chen directly targeted the “Roots Giant Tree” towering over a kilometer high, turned into a mecha cannonball with the force of flight, and forcibly broke it in two!
As expected, when the Roots Giant Tree collapsed and crumbled, the abyss leader was also disturbed.
Different from what was imagined, it didn’t crawl out from the ruins at the base of the “giant tree”.
The vines around the giant tree seemed to come to life, converging towards the center, twisting, and interweaving together.
In just a moment, a green giant over ten meters tall, with vine-like long hair made entirely from interwoven roots, stood amidst the ruins.
To speak the truth...
If one ignored the size and the color.
This Roots Titan’s appearance was quite similar to the primeval mecha.
It seemed to be aware of this fact too as it gazed over at Jiang Chen and actually emitted a thunderous sound.
The sound was converted into the language of Planet Blue Star through an external translator device.
“Thief.”
Jiang Chen almost couldn’t hold back.
How did this leader even know how to curse?
Wasn’t it just equipped with a [Root Core] module...
The guy next door, Master Luo, had his traits blasted out by me and didn’t say anything, right!
In the blink of an eye, the information about the giant was scanned.
[Evolver]
[Rank: 1]
[Attributes: Strength 100 (200), Agility 100 (200), Defense 100 (200), Enigmatism 0.]
[Trait: Gained a new life through the roots and completed its evolution, a brand new life.
Having absorbed and fused all the genetic material of the planet’s life, it can change its form at will, display different stances, and transform into corresponding attributes.
It has an extremely strong Life Force and is difficult to completely annihilate.]
[Weakness: There is a core inside; if it is found and shattered, the kill can be accomplished.]
[Evaluation: Mediocre combat experience, yet possesses flexible attributes, please challenge with caution.]
Fused with biological genes, capable of transforming forms at will...
Ultimate being, is that it?
Jiang Chen didn’t pay much attention to the words of the Roots Titan, only contemplating its traits.
Since the translator bought from the store was effective, it meant that the language of the Roots Titan had long been deciphered by mecha pilots.
All useful information had already been dug up.
If he wanted to know something, after returning to reality, he could just search the alliance’s database.
As for now...
Jiang Chen only wanted to go on a rampage and speedrun the instance.
The primeval mecha slightly retreated.
The next moment, it accelerated forward violently, turning into a meteor that charged at the Evolver.
Even if the mecha sustained damage, it wouldn’t feel any pain, but would briefly enter a dormant state.
[Merely a painless slumber isn’t enough...]
[I must regard failure as Nirvana, as a pleasure, just as my lord said!]
[Every instance of damage must make me stronger!]
Zero’s will burned fiercely like a blazing flame.
As the will of the mecha, accompanying Jiang Chen in battle, it was keenly aware of one thing—
Every time it was damaged, its lord would become stronger.
In the time leading up to its upgrade, it even began to struggle with sustaining its lord’s power.
Zero was aware of this and held no particular thoughts about it.
Nor would it have any.
Was it supposed to say: Is my lord pouring his heart into me because he wants to grow stronger?
But isn’t the strengthening of mecha by every mecha pilot for the purpose of becoming stronger?
Even the mecha pilot who helped with Zero’s enhancement and had communicated with it thought the same.
It’s just that the lord’s method was a bit different due to his soul’s talent.
As a will born within the mecha, Zero’s thinking was utterly pure.
It didn’t understand vested interests, it didn’t understand grudges and resentments...
As the will and soul of the mecha, it could only feel with its soul.
It could sense that its lord sincerely loved it, genuinely poured his essence into it.
And didn’t treat it merely as a tool.
That was enough.
It would be the mecha of its lord.
And naturally, it would reciprocate this expectation.
The violet-white giant, after a lengthy battle with the verdant-green giant, finally saw an opportunity, raised its hand to summon the Insect King’s Spear, and with a piercing blow, ruptured the Roots Core within its adversary.
“Die!”
[My lord wants you dead, you cannot live!]
Two voices seemed to overlap.
The verdant-green giant emitted a reluctant roar and promptly weakened and withered away rapidly.
A wisp of abyss atmosphere was absorbed by the Abyss Rune.
