In order to compensate for the inadequacy of his own perception abilities.

Also, to better handle Uncontrollable Titans and Transcenders, those abyss leaders with their “core” as a vulnerability.

Jiang Chen checked the relevant module information.

He spent fifty thousand contributions to purchase an excellent quality 3rd Rank auxiliary module [High-Energy Perception].

[High-Energy Perception]

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

[Rank: 1 (3)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Type: Ocular Module]

[Effect One: Modifies mecha ocular lenses to provide high-energy vision that can see through obstacles to observe high-energy objects within a certain range.]

[Effect Two: When high-energy vision is activated, it consumes 0.1% of mecha energy per second (Consumption Limit: 10)]

[Description: Do not stare directly into stars.]

This is a technology-side module produced by Abyss Level 3.

The quality isn’t high, but it can provide vision similar to thermal imaging.

When observing the Uncontrollable Titan, it can see through metallic obstructions within a certain range and observe the internal high-energy pathways, proving quite practical.

However, there is a limit to the number of auxiliary modules a mecha can equip.

Jiang Chen did not want to waste an opportunity to absorb a supercharged module and, after some deliberation, replaced [Iron Body] with it.

Iron Body provides 90 points of defense and some resistance.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

After all, the defense value of the main body had already been stacked very high, so even losing a one-time growth of 270 points was not a significant loss.

After equipping [High-Energy Perception].

Jiang Chen once again challenged the Uncontrollable Titan.

This time, it went much smoother.

The primeval mecha, after Mecha Soul Fusion, reached an attribute level of 3186.

Although still not as high as the Uncontrollable Titan’s 4000 strength.

But combined with other attributes and modules that had been strengthened, he finally had the power to fight.

During the battle, there were several occasions where he used the [High-Energy Perception] module to spot the Uncontrollable Titan’s intelligent core.

It’s just that the intelligent core moved extremely fast within the body.

With the current strength of the primeval mecha, there was no way to pierce through the thick high-defense shell and quickly reach beside the core.

In the end, he could only watch as it slipped away before his very eyes.

It didn’t matter if it slipped away.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The time for Stage 2 had come, the mecha shattered, and the Talent Triggered.

After the primeval mecha was repaired and the Mecha Soul Fusion was complete, its attributes grew once again.

3186+270, Stage 2 strength reached 3456.

[General Zero is back, insignificant robots!]

[You will never truly defeat Zero!]

The strength value of the primeval mecha was still not fully caught up to the Uncontrollable Titan.

But…

Time and again, it shattered.

Time and again, it grew.

During this process, Jiang Chen triggered talents, absorbed the strength of the mecha; then, by Mecha Soul Fusion, once more endowed that strength onto the mecha.

Constantly stacking modules, attributes, traits…

A quantitative change led to a qualitative transformation.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

In this battle.

Jiang Chen, controlling the primeval mecha, first used the power of [Touch of Extreme Cold] to freeze a good portion of the Uncontrollable Titan’s body.

Then, boosted by [Bio-organic Force Field] and [Skeleton’s Wings], he soared high.

His gaze pierced through the numerous obstacles, locking onto the intelligent core within the Uncontrollable Titan, aimed at the spot, and delivered a remote kick!

The moment the mecha’s foot touched the ice, a burst of flames erupted, instantly melting layer upon layer of metal protection—

In the end, it pounded against the intelligent core.

[3456 strength against 4000 strength.]

[The advantage is mine!]

[Insignificant robot, eat my knight’s kick!]

In the surging flames, the intelligent core shattered completely!

A vast expanse of abyss atmosphere flooded into the Abyss Rune.

Jiang Chen, piloting the primeval mecha, managed to defeat the Hell difficulty level Uncontrollable Titan within ten minutes, using only the power of Stage 2!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“There’s no need for the original body to make a move, just relying on the mecha’s strength alone to clear Hell…”

“Now, perhaps I am ready to attempt the Abyss difficulty level?”

Jiang Chen watched as the war machine crashed down, the section of his face wrapped by the Roots mecha couldn’t help but lift into a smile.

“Exiting the abyss.”

In the real world, at the island base.

The rift opened, and the purple-white giant slowly descended, standing on the ground.

Not far from the mecha display room, Bai Ying, dressed in Lolita attire, looked over and smiled.

“Lord, Zero, welcome home.”

Beside Bai Ying, a brass steam mecha sat in front of a high-frequency television, watching something.

Upon hearing Bai Ying’s words and following her gaze, it immediately jumped up in place and trotted over with a click-clack.

“My liege! You’re back!”

“Eh, General Zero didn’t go through Nirvana this time?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The chest of the mecha automatically split open, and Jiang Chen fell from the Roots Core, flicking a translucent chip with two fingers, swiftly completing the module replacement.

The primeval mecha rapidly transformed, becoming a girl standing with her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.

“Ha, Zero is already strong enough from Nirvana!”

“Just a mere insignificant robot, blown away by a kick from both Zero and the lord!”

“Hehe, Yun, you really should have seen how awesome Zero was back then!”

“General Zero is mighty!”

The jet ports on the surface of the steam mecha cooperated perfectly, releasing a burst of steam, sounding very envious and excited.

“This subordinate also wishes to wage war alongside the lord and General Zero…”

“No worries, Yun, your chance will come soon.”

He heard the somewhat deep sound of the steam mecha.

Zero came to its side and patted its shoulder, comforting it.

“In some time, you will also be able to fight alongside the master just like Zero,”

“At that time, you’ll be able to taste what it’s like to become stronger.”

Jiang Chen nodded as well.

“Yun, don’t be impatient,”

“I am still preparing the most suitable materials and modules for you… Randomly strengthening and advancing will never allow you to unleash your full potential.”

“Only those who can endure solitude can retain their splendor,”

“Wait until you’ve settled for a while longer, then you can meet Zero at its peak.”

“Understood, General!”

The steam mecha nodded vigorously, and a burst of steam shot out fiercely from its waist.

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Scenes like this had been continuing at the private base for quite some time—

It was after the third successful clear of the Machine Rampage at the Hell difficulty level that he had obtained the second [Autonomous Intelligence] module.

After returning to the real world, he immediately installed it in the steam mecha.

This way, when Bai Ying was teaching Yun on Jiang Chen’s behalf, communication became much more convenient.

However, even though Yun’s mecha soul had taken shape and had rapidly manifested itself after the [Autonomous Intelligence] module was installed,

it was, after all, a steam mecha.

Unlike those bio-organic mechas like Zero, it had a fundamental difference.

It didn’t have the ability to freely change shape; it merely gained the capability for movement and communication.

To be like Bai Ying and Zero, it would need to install relevant modules such as [Biological Mimicry] and [Holographic Projection].

However, these were just minor details that wouldn’t affect communication.

Jiang Chen was busy planning for the Age-Old Shadow at the Abyss difficulty level, consolidating his own attributes, and making up for his deficiencies.

He had put this matter aside for the time being.

After all, mechas like Bai Ying and Zero wouldn’t mind the imitation appearance of other mechas.

What they cared more about were the [heart] and [soul].

Zero and Yun, like Bai Ying, had sequentially obtained intelligence modules.

The island base gradually became more lively, gaining a bit more vitality.

When Jiang Chen was researching, contemplating strategies, or resting his spirit, Zero would go to further instruct Yun.

At the same time, she would boast a little about how incredibly powerful she was and how insignificant the enemies were.

In the gaze of Yun’s admiration, the heart of the big sister figure gradually found contentment.

Moreover, she also watched a lot of films and motivational montages with Yun, absorbing some additional information.

Phrases like “Knight Kick” were learned during this time.

Jiang Chen was also pleased to see this.

After all, for newly born mecha souls, the initial feeling of breaking was definitely not pleasant.

As a mature mecha soul who had adapted to and overcome the “breaking” and eventually grew to relish it, viewing it as a form of Nirvana,

Zero could effectively convey her experience, allowing other new mecha souls to quickly adapt.

“The nurturing of the mecha soul is basically complete,”

“To grow further, we must obtain the core module of the supercharge.”

Although the supplementary modules of the supercharge would also impact the effect and quality of the sublimation,

the most critical component was still the core module of the supercharge.

Jiang Chen took a short rest.

When he saw Zero vividly explaining the battle to Bai Ying and Yun, adding a touch of artistic embellishment, he couldn’t help but laugh.

When they looked over following the sound of laughter,

Jiang Chen stood up and stretched lazily.

“It’s about time, Zero,”

“Let’s try tackling the Abyss difficulty level once,” he said.

After repeated growth,

Jiang Chen’s attributes had undergone a huge transformation.

[Attributes:]

[Strength 4931→6551]

[Agility 3580→4750]

[Defense 6019→7729]

[Enigmatism 2700→3600]

[Special: Regenerate 72.67 health per second (doubles under sunlight), 18.29 stamina.]

[0th Rank Ability: Roots Core, remainder omitted.]

[1st Rank Ability: Blood Demon Transformation*36, Bio-organic Force Field*3, Thorns Overgrowth*36, Crystal of Divine Punishment*3, Flame Control*15, High-Energy Perception*3.]

[2nd Rank Ability: Touch of Extreme Cold*15]

His highest attribute, defense, had reached an impressive 7,729 points.

After one more stack, he would be nearly twice as strong defensively as the Uncontrollable Titan with its 4,300-point defense!

Although he was still quite a distance from the anticipated 10,000 attribute points that would allow for an easy clear,

considering the 2nd Rank Ability Touch of Extreme Cold had been stacked fifteen times, his upper limit of damage had significantly increased—

Jiang Chen now had the potential to clear the Abyss difficulty level!

Even if he failed, it wouldn’t matter.

With such a level of attribute stats, being able to safely withdraw from the abyss was no longer a problem.

He could also take the opportunity to gauge the depth of the Abyss difficulty level.

And to probe the abilities of the final leader.

“Great!”

Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s voice, Zero’s smile bloomed instantly.

Her form shifted, and she transformed into countless tendrils, wrapping around Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen, in turn, touched the Abyss Rune.

[10, 9, 8…]

[The past resurfaces, shadow undying.]

[Welcome to the abyss.]

The world suddenly turned to darkness, swallowing up the purple and white giant.
