Chapter 223: Chapter 155: High-Level Legendary Overlord, Purgatory Asura_1
Yuu, like Yun, was inherently an excellent holy body.
Especially when following the extreme route, she had just completed her evolution, and her enigmatic value had reached an astonishing 100,000.
If she underwent enhancement and then loaded with four temporary perfect-attribute modules, purely stacking enigmatic value,
it’s probable that her enigmatic attribute could be stacked to 200,000!
The attributes of the mecha were equivalent to Jiang Chen’s growth.
That is to say, just one absorption could bring Jiang Chen an enigmatic value of 800,000!
Jiang Chen currently had a total of only 850,000 enigmatic value!
“Although Yuu’s other attributes barely meet the threshold of a 2nd Rank supercharged mecha...”
“her enigmatic attribute is already comparable to a 3rd Rank supercharged mecha.”
It’s just a pity that, at present, the only purely extreme mecha is Yuu alone.
Zero is about defense, armor, recovery; Yun is about strength, agility, energy.
If there were one extreme mecha for each attribute, then with a round of expanded armor, it’s hard for Jiang Chen to imagine how much he could grow.
However, it would be too demanding; it’s better to slowly adjust with the current three mechas.
Apart from attributes, Yuu did not form a module set like Zero did.
Her module set should be related to Three Lives Skull and Return to Primal State.
Jiang Chen had already developed a plan and decided to skip ahead for now, looking directly at Yuu’s advanced modules.
Upgrade Module:
[Shadow Assault (Supercharged)]
[Rank: 3]
[Quality: Flawless (Mecha Dependent Upgrade)]
[Type: Upgrade Module]
[Effect One: Increases enigmatic value by 5,000, energy limit by 10,000.]
[Effect Two: When in a state undetectable by a designated enemy target (such as darkness, invisibility, blind spots...), the speed of the next attack is greatly increased.
The specific increase in value is related to the enigmatic value.]
[Description: You can’t see me, you can’t see me...]
Clearly, the appearance of this assault module is related to Yuu’s growth environment.
Jiang Chen had placed her in virtual combat fields, constantly fighting against various virtual monsters and mechas.
Ultimately, he fostered a shadow-side assault module.
This module made up for the agility shortcomings of the three-headed mecha; as long as the stealthy attack was in the dark, there was no worry about missing the target with a powerful attack, greatly increasing the hit rate.
If Jiang Chen absorbed this module...
“It’s useful too!”
“It’s just about being unobservable, aside from hiding oneself, you can also make the opponent unable to see you!”
“Blinding, Silence, Perception Weakening, Sensory Deprivation...”
“Abilities of the dark type come with various negative statuses.”
“With a little synergy, it’s not just about the next attack’s speed increasing, it could lead to a permanent increase in attack speed!”
“Turn off the lights, and start the show.”
Jiang Chen looked towards another module.
[Continuous Attack (Supercharged)]
[Rank: 3]
[Quality: Flawless (Mecha Dependent Upgrade)]
[Type: Evolution Module]
[Effect One: Increases strength by 2,000, agility by 2,000, enigmatic value by 5,000.]
[Effect Two: When using module abilities, the cooldown interval is reduced by 90%. (Each consecutive use of module ability reduces the cooldown effect by 10%; after resting for a certain period, the cooldown effect is restored.)]
[Description: My turn, my turn, still my turn.]
Another assault-type explosive module!
“For training purposes, the Legendary Shadow is still the best choice.”
“I’m not lacking in mecha pilot traits or Supercharge Modules now, and the drop rate for Mythical Items in the Endless Difficulty setting is low, making it too hard to farm...”
“If I’m to farm for Mythical Items, I might as well procure them directly from the promotion trials.”
“At present, the Legendary Shadow can yield Resonance Equipment and Mythical Materials, offering higher gains.”
Jiang Chen launched the interface for the Legendary Shadow and perused various Legendary Shadows one by one.
He learned from Lan Yi that the strength of the Abyssal Lords in the Legendary Shadow is fixed by difficulty and unrelated to the challenger, much like the standard Age-Old Shadow.
For instance, a Prehistoric Winged Fiend on the fifth-level difficulty possesses a constant strength of three million, no matter who the challenger may be.
This value changes only if the difficulty level rises above fifth rank.
That is precisely why Lan Yi and his companions fared so poorly—
With their own strength barely reaching one to two million, they originally intended to challenge the Prehistoric Winged Fiend.
If their power surpassed that of the Winged Fiend, it wouldn’t be a challenge but a quick grind.
Because the power is fixed,
mecha pilots have categorized Abyssal Lords in the Legendary Shadow into distinct ranks.
For example, at fifth-level difficulty, Legendary Overlords have a power range from one to nine hundred ninety-nine million.
Those between one and three million are considered low-level legendary overlords.
From three to six million, they are known as mid-level legendary overlords.
Six to nine million classifies them as high-level legendary overlords.
Those surpassing nine million within the same rank are termed as Peak Legendary overlords.
The Prehistoric Winged Fiend that Jiang Chen challenged is a low-level legendary overlord, yielding much lower drop rates, materials, modules, and equipment than other overlords.
The Prehistoric Dragon Turtle that Jiang Chen previously reviewed falls into the mid-tier legendary category, close to high-tier.
Thus, only a handful of mecha pilots in the entire Purgatory level have completed sixth-level challenges while at the second rank.
If one pursues low-level legendary entities instead, leveraging the potential and resources of the three level 8 civilizations, the number of individuals who clear it isn’t as sparse as one might think.
“Legendary overlords, too, have their hierarchies.”
“Those that indulge in creating various mechanisms and enjoy stirring things up are generally weaker in strength, needing little strategies to compensate for their deficiencies.”
“Conversely, single-challenge legendary overlords lacking complex mechanisms tend to be exceedingly powerful.”
“Their ability to survive untold ages, opposing countless civilizations, is buttressed by sheer force.”
“And all challengers face but one fate at their hands—swift death!”
Jiang Chen favored such straightforward, no-nonsense legendary overlords.
Easy to kill.
Who could match him in terms of power?
So, he scoured through the bestiary and set his sights on a certain fiend.
[Purgatory Asura (Infancy Phase)]
[Region: Purgatory Level]
[Catastrophe: Infinite Purgatory]
[Rank: 2]
[Difficulty: 4th Rank, 5th Rank, 6th Rank, 7th Rank.]
[Number of Challengers: 1]
This fiend was the peak overlord of the most dreadful catastrophe in the Purgatory level, the Infinite Purgatory.
Even at fifth-level Legendary Shadow, it wielded a combat strength of seven million, making it a true high-level legendary overlord.
Much stronger than mid-tier legendary beings like the Prehistoric Dragon Turtle.
And most importantly,
Its formidable six-armed Asura body reminded Jiang Chen of an acquaintance from the 0th Rank era—the Six-armed Rakshasa.
Though merely a minor leader compared with the Purgatory Asura, the Rakshasa had granted Jiang Chen the Weapons Master trait.
So, as an ancestral figure to the Six-armed Rakshasa,
could this Purgatory Asura yield six-armed modules?
“Let the exploration begin!”
