Chapter 1902. Pilot Mode

Wilted and the others already knew Leviathan could change into this form. Despite their knowledge, they still creased their foreheads. Like Jeanny's team when they saw Mammon's transformation, Wilted's team also couldn't help but feel anxious due to the suffocating aura exuded by Leviathan. The devil had become much stronger after the transformation.

Paytowin and Joe could no longer stay on Leviathan's body. They could approach to land melee attacks, but they couldn't stay for long. This was because the mists around Leviathan's body had turned into a radioactive field. All within melee range would suffer damage. This damage increased the longer they stayed within melee range. Only the Remoron Bugs were immune to this radioactive field. They now returned to hide inside Leviathan's armors.

"Well, ready or not. Here I come!" Leviathan exclaimed. He opened his jaws, and a bright bluish-white beam shot out.

Paytowin had landed back on the Omega Battle Mech's shoulder. The Omega Battle Mech advanced while everyone else retreated. This was to lure Leviathan into attacking the battle mech first.

Wilted had informed everyone about the danger of Leviathan's radioactive breath. It dealt massive soul damage.

Paytowin was ready. He had his hand on the battle mech's neck. "Boson Shield!" He exclaimed. The surface where his hand touched glowed with electric currents.

An oval translucent shield appeared in front of the Omega Battle Mech. The radioactive breath slammed into this shield. The shield trembled heavily under the pressure, and so did the Omega Battle Mech. Paytowin had to use two hands to grab the battle mech's shoulder plate to keep himself steady.

The Boson Shield lasted a while but ultimately dimmed before dispersing altogether. The radioactive beam crashed into the Omega Battle Mech. The battle mech used two arms to block the blast but was pushed a long way back. Damage numbers incessantly popped up above its head.

Luckily, the Boson Shield had reduced more than half of the radioactive breath's power. Even so, the Omega Battle Mech lost almost twenty percent of its HP.

"The mech's HP is below fifty percent now. Do it, George!" Wilted called.

"Let me use my other two skills first!" Paytowin exclaimed

His level 70 skill was Delta Station. The skill summoned a hovering battle station at a static location. He placed this delta station near Leviathan. Upon appearing, the delta station applied a trap effect in a large area around it. Every enemy within its AOE lost mobility for a few seconds. The station itself was equipped with energy guns and cannons that bombarded nearby enemies.

While Leviathan was busy, Paytowin went to the front of the Omega Battle Mech's chest. He touched the center of the chest, which looked like a power core. That power core opened up and showed what looked like a cockpit. He entered that cockpit.

Either one of two conditions was needed before this cockpit could be accessed. The first was if the Omega Battle Mech reached the last hour of its three-hour duration. The second was if the Omega Battle Mech's HP decreased to half.

After Paytowin entered the cockpit, the chest closed again. Afterward, a color transformation happened to the Omega Battle Mech. Before, its color was dominated by dark blue. Now, it had become pure white. There was even a soft glow all over the mech's surface as if it was emitting light.

The battle mech's power output increased once it entered this pilot mode. Paytowin had full control over this mech now. The ring of light on its back flared even brighter as it burst and sent the mech charging forward.

The Omega Battle Mech had several skills, but it needed Paytowin's access before it could use these skills. That's why previously, Paytowin had to touch the mech before it used the Electron Blades and the Boson Shield. Paytowin was now using another of its skills while it charged forward, the Hadron Launchers.

The Omega Battle Mech's shoulder pads opened, revealing rows of launchers. Countless missiles were fired from these launchers. The fired missiles were coated with blue light. They left traces of light as they flew in random patterns.

The missiles from the Hadron Launchers evaded the interceptors buzzing around Leviathan. They exploded after hitting Leviathan's body. The devil was soon covered by unending explosions as each missile detonated.

A roar of anger resounded from inside the explosion. Leviathan didn't expect his transformation to not only fail to surprise his opponents, but they could still cause him trouble.

The Omega Battle Mech arrived then. It punched with its fist equipped with the electron blade. The power of the punch boosted by the charge sent Leviathan reeling back. Paytowin didn't let up. He punched repeatedly to keep Leviathan at bay while the others, his mothership, and the interceptors continued sending barrages of range attacks.

"Insolent fool!" Leviathan roared. His tentacles slapped into the Omega Battle Mech and stopped its assault. He lunged forward to take a bite using his enormous mouth, but the Boson Shield appeared in his path. He crashed into the energy shield.

The shield couldn't stop attacks from all directions, though. Two of Leviathan's tentacles slipped in from the side and caught the battle mech's arms. They wrapped around those arms and refused to let go. The other tentacles came. Leviathan was trying to repeat what he did to the Delta Station. He wanted to tear the Omega Battle Mech apart.

The Omega Battle Mech started glowing. Leviathan felt the mana built up within the battle mech but refused to let go. He was confident his improved defense could tank whatever assault the battle mech threw at him. His eight tentacles tightened around the battle mech's body.

The glow grew until the light engulfed both the Omega Battle Mech and Leviathan, and then everything turned white.
