Chapter 60: Chapter 58 Attribute Enhancement, God Among Men!_1
Translator: 549690339
Is this the “It” that the Roots Core is nurturing?
Although the setting is on the ordinary difficulty level, the attributes have already surpassed those of an abyss leader on the hard difficulty level, almost reaching the Nightmare difficulty level.
“Judging by the increase in the abyss difficulty level,”
“Ordinary difficulty has nearly five hundred basic attributes; hard difficulty can often exceed eight hundred, Nightmare difficulty is over one thousand three, one thousand four...”
“And once it’s Hell difficulty level, It, as the final boss, is bound to display a new stance, just like the Six-armed Rakshasa.”
“From [Cultivation], to [Birth], and even [Maturation].”
“It can still undergo another round of strengthening, with attributes definitely reaching above two thousand five.”
“Hell is already like this, what about the abyss?”
“Keep in mind, the main attributes of an ordinary 1st Rank mecha pilot cap around two hundred!”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but marvel.
No wonder even the Symbol of the Alliance, when of the same rank, found it somewhat difficult to clear the Age-Old Shadow on the Hell difficulty level.
Even more so, it was completely unable to defeat the abyss.
This thing really isn’t meant for humans to fight.
Fortunately, he is not human.
At least not entirely human.
After all, who has seen someone who can maintain their peak condition 24/7 without eating, drinking or sleeping, just by basking in the sun, and who might even traverse the starry sky with their physical body after a while?
The last one to do this was called God Among Men.
“Moreover, what Transcender...”
“With such attributes, compared to the Sea Abyss Ancient God from the Steam World, it’s too weak, far too weak!”
Earlier, before Jiang Chen broke through the Roots Core and dived into the sap, he had already alerted the being inside the cavern.
He was able to come here smoothly, partly because of the other party’s deliberate guidance.
At this moment, the giant cocoon in the center of the cavern breathed with a faint purple light, brightening and darkening alternately as if breathing, the rhythm speeding up continuously.
In just an instant.
The cocoon-like object burst silently!
It instantly turned into countless tiny root fibers, wrapping towards the primeval mecha at the edge of the cavern!
The surface of the primeval mecha quickly ignited with azure-blue flames, forming a fiery ball that forcibly repelled the fiber onslaught.
However, this was only a temporary reprieve.
The tiny root fibers regrouped and formed into a massive plant serpentine entity.
With just the upper half of its body raised, the plant serpentine entity reached a height of thirty to forty meters, its pale purple snake eyes staring down at the primeval mecha as if it were a diminutive insect.
“Thief who has stolen the power of evolution...”
“My power, it has changed its flavor on you.”
Within the rumbling voice, the plant serpentine entity flicked its tongue.
The next moment, the numerous roots throughout the cavern spewed out a large quantity of plant sap, leaving no space to dodge.
This sap seemed to be particularly effective against flames.
[0th Rank Ability: Uncontrollable Mutation, Roots Core, Blood Demon Transformation*2, Seed of Flames*7.]
[1st Rank Ability: Blood Demon Transformation*3, Bio-organic Force Field*3, Thorns Overgrowth*3.]
The primeval mecha’s tripled attributes, along with the slight gains from the 0th rank.
Just one instance of damage, and Jiang Chen’s attributes reached an extremely exaggerated level!
A moment ago, the Transcender was still using its 477 force agility defense to brutally crush the primeval mecha.
The next moment, it was crushed by Jiang Chen in turn, with a punch that penetrated the snake’s head!
Even the clusters of roots that had gathered could not withstand such an attack, and the head exploded on the spot due to the spread of power!
However, explosion did not equate to death.
The greatest advantage of the roots was their terrifying self-healing capability.
As the main body made of roots, the Transcender maximized self-healing to an extreme.
When the fluid ran through the root system and into the snake’s body, the roots rapidly grew and intertwined.
The enormous snake’s head healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
“The recovery speed is too fast,”
“And moreover, the massive body is excellent at hiding the core, not allowing for quick decapitation...”
Jiang Chen watched this scene and shook his head slightly.
The remaining time he had to stay was less than ten minutes.
In such a short amount of time, it was very difficult to completely shatter the Transcender’s core.
Moreover, as the main body of roots, it was not likely to have just one core.
“Destroy as many as I can then,”
“After all, it’s the final boss of Hell and Abyss difficulty levels. By probing the core’s patterns in advance, I can save time on subsequent runs...”
Jiang Chen floated in the air and stretched his body.
With a bang, he rushed out again.
“Here we go again!”
A few minutes later.
The pitch-black rift opened once more, engulfing Jiang Chen.
Inside the root cavern, it had become a complete wreck.
Not only were all the roots broken, with sap flowing everywhere, but there were also deep pits as though formed by impacts.
The roots slowly gathered again, forming a green giant over ten meters tall, with a bewildered expression.
Of its thirteen cores, a full ten had been forcefully shattered.
Even its own power had been forcibly worn down, from a Transcender to an Evolver...
What kind of monster was this?
Why had it become even stronger after losing the power of the roots?
Thinking of the opponent’s formidable strength, its unbreakable body...
It mumbled to itself.
“Did I evolve incorrectly?”
“Could it be, he is the correct one?”
