Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Chapter 182 Return, Swarm Legion. _1

“`

The “Light of Hope” can reset one of the options when choosing civilization traits.

It provides civilizations with more choices, and is a very useful tool.

Unexpectedly obtaining two uses, Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised.

“So during the process of ranking up through the trials, by linking with major calamities and sheltering the Seeds of Civilization of other civilizations, hidden rewards can also be gained…”

“It’s just unclear whether sheltering the Seed of Civilization in this way will leave behind an ‘Abyss Rune’.”

“Does it count as ‘Fire Transmission’?”

When Jiang Chen was communicating with the two surviving civilizations, he had considered this issue.

However, he did not spend time waiting.

After leaving some materials about mecha pilots, he returned to the Void Dimension and closed the Void Rift—

Whether this way of sheltering civilizations counts as Fire Transmitter traits would be clear after a single look upon returning.

There were only ten days in total for the ranking trial, and he was still busy farming monsters.

Although he was strong enough to easily kill 8th Rank non-Legendary overlords,

Letting Vitaz settle for a few more days, amassing a few billion in attributes, even 9th Rank overlords would be no challenge.

But the Void Dimension was just too vast.

It was like an independent Void universe, with each legion at an extremely distant remove from the others.

To travel to other legions would often take up the better part of a day.

Add to this the pursuit and clearing of legion overlords, honing his own Mecha, sealing the Void Rifts, among other miscellaneous tasks—thus a day would pass.

Jiang Chen wandered around the edge of the Domain of Oblivion for nearly nine days.

Including the Wraith and Fear Armor legions, he had hunted a total of ten Void Legions.

Of these, the two 9th Rank overlords he took down still yielded Attribute Enhancement tools, with none producing higher quality or legendary-quality tools.

The number was too small for Jiang Chen to determine whether there were no better tools or if the burst rate of 9th Ranks was just too low.

“Next time, I’ll just hunt more powerful beings.”

“It’s a pity that there are not many overlords with Legendary Traits in the Void Legions.”

“Except for the Void Wraith, the other Legendary overlords are too powerful and not easy to deal with at the moment.”

Not being able to capture a few more Legendary babies to take back, Jiang Chen still felt quite regretful.

However, he had made a tidy profit from this venture.

He got ten “Attribute Enhancement” tools,

And a whopping two hundred and twenty-seven “Supercharge Upgrade” tools!

The rest of the high-quality spatial resources were countless.

This time, Jiang Chen had achieved complete supercharge freedom.

He could supercharge any standard module he liked.

According to the alliance’s stored module blueprints, it was effortless to create several sets of supercharged suit modules!

“A 9th Rank mecha can have up to forty-nine modules,”

“Building a new mecha will still take quite some time…”

“With so many supercharge upgrade tools, I could even help Lord Li Xiao to directly upgrade a Supercharged Mecha!”

“And Bai Ying could be directly upgraded as well!”

The ten-day limit for the ranking trial flew by in the blink of an eye.

The darkness of the Shattered Planet region came creeping in, quickly engulfing Jiang Chen.

[The catastrophe continues.]

…

Due to the nature of the Domain of Oblivion, all energy transmitted beyond a certain distance rapidly degenerates.

Not only is it impossible to communicate over ultra-long distances, but also to establish things like ultra-long-distance teleportation array formations.

Once far from the Void region, it’s almost like being on an isolated island.

Furthermore, since Jiang Chen had thoroughly dealt with all the high-ranking overlords, leaving only low-ranked soldiers,

information was hard to transmit outward.

Several days passed before the events happening at the edge of the Void Dimension were noticed by the Void Legions.

In the Shattered Void, at the core of the swarm.

A fleshy sphere more colossal than a star floated in the Void.

It expanded and contracted like breathing, incessantly.

With each expansion, it absorbed endless quantities of spiritual energy from around it, and with each contraction, it ejected an incalculable number of swarm creatures.

This was the supreme leader of the swarm legion.

“`

Void Hive.

As the Hive was in the midst of production, a colossal worm tore through the Void.

The half of its body that had burrowed out was as massive as a planet.

“Mother.”

“At the edge of the Void Domain, ten small legions were destroyed by an unknown mecha pilot…”

“…What about the person?”

“No traces were found; they’ve likely escaped.”

Upon hearing the colossal worm’s words,

the Hive’s actions didn’t slow as it continued to produce an endless swarm of insects.

Emotions of intense disgust were conveyed.

“Another trial?”

“These detestable beings, treating us as their trials, I truly want to kill them all and feed them to my children…”

With emotions of revulsion, the Hive asked further.

“Just ten small legions…”

“Why have you come to report in haste, is there anything else?”

The colossal worm fell silent for a moment before speaking.

“Vitaz’s Wraith Legion was one of the ten small legions that were destroyed.”

“It seems she has been enslaved by the mecha pilot, betraying the legion.”

“Otherwise, with the Domain of Oblivion’s unique environment, that mecha pilot wouldn’t have been able to pinpoint the location so precisely and would inevitably have become lost in the Void.”

“…”

Finally, the Hive’s actions paused for a moment.

Vitaz.

She was a lifeform that the children had retrieved from the depths of the Domain of Oblivion.

Like the Void Emperor, she was a natural-born spirit of the Void, doted upon by the Void.

Even in perpetual slumber, she awakened legendary powers and possessed endless potential.

The Hive had placed her within the pioneering legions to hone her, to set her on the path of the Void Emperor.

When the right moment came, using the Hive’s unique abilities, she was to be transformed and absorbed.

Who would have thought she’d become enslaved by a mecha pilot…

She was a Legendary Overlord!

What a waste.

After a short while, the Hive resumed its activity.

“Spirits of the Void can communicate with the Void and open Void Rifts.”

“Mecha pilots are typically excessively greedy, yearning for power… He will definitely exploit Vitaz’s power, return to the Void, and hunt legions.”

“Opening a rift will surely leave a trace.”

“We wait for him, find him.”

“Crush his world, destroy everything he has.”

“…Understood.”

The Hive, having experienced an age-long existence, had seen too much.

It had already calmed down, setting aside the mecha pilot and focusing on the most important matters.

“How goes the battle at Gaia World?”

The colossal worm responded.

“The opposition has been continuously sealing the channels, attempting to buy time for a futile struggle.”

“We already have three legions engaged in combat with them, depleting their living forces, and accelerating the opening of the channels.”

“It won’t be long before we can launch a full-scale invasion.”

“Good.”

The Hive expressed its approval.

“Be cautious, not too aggressive.”

“They are Fire Transmitters, they might seek support.”

“Oppress, exhaust, and gradually plot…”

“Victory is destined to be ours.”
