Chapter 128 - 102: May the Flames of Passion Burn Eternally_1
Even now, though utterly destroyed and eroded by time, the rugged outer armor was not something that these alien beasts could damage.
It became a natural shelter forcing the alien beast tide to surge through a narrow gap, where they couldn’t fully exploit their numerical advantage.
Jiang Chen stood at the forefront of the gap, rapidly clearing these abyss monsters.
Even if he couldn’t completely block all the alien beasts, he significantly reduced the pressure on Planet Blue Star’s defense line.
This allowed Planet Blue Star’s mecha pilots time to catch their breath, to withdraw from combat, and to replenish their lost energy through supply items, or to reload their weapons with ammunition.
The crumbling situation was swiftly stabilized.
“The mighty mecha pilot from olden days, even in his fall, still shelters the descendants of civilization…”
As Jiang Chen replenished his Life Force, such a scene touched him slightly.
Just like Xuntian City above Planet Blue Star.
Even though that high rank mecha pilot perished in the abyss.
His Xuntian City mecha still executed the commands of its master, orbiting above the planet, sheltering civilization.
Day and night without end.
However, the descendants of Planet Blue Star’s civilization had clearly suffered too many calamities and had been weakened to an infuriating degree.
Not to mention the extremely low ranks of their mechas.
The means they used to fight the alien beasts were primitive thermal weapons like flamethrowers and machine-gun turrets fueled by consuming gasoline and bullets—
Just as Planet Blue Star faced when the abyss monsters first invaded.
Fighter jets, tanks, machine guns, missiles, even nuclear weapons; these standard technological arms could harm abyss monsters.
Just like the Magic Impartation of magic civilizations, or the Transcendent pathways of transcendent civilizations.
Apart from the mecha pilot system, many civilizations possessed their own power systems to cope with abyss monsters.
Even as the mecha pilot system developed, these power systems did not vanish but gradually integrated into the mecha pilot system to improve efficiency.
For example, Jiang Chen once used [Small Thermal Energy Sword], [Small Thermal Energy Pistol].
These were external equipment that Planet Blue Star’s mecha pilots combined with technology, utilizing the perpetual energy source of abyss mecha.
These technological weapons could effectively help a civilization survive through a weaker period.
Allowing mecha pilots to grow and eventually pilot high rank mechas to contend with terrifying monsters that ordinary weapons could not defeat.
“If such a scale of beast tide occurred on Planet Blue Star.”
“Even without mecha pilots, nations could easily fend off the beast tide using armies, thermal weapons, missiles, and nuclear arms, locating and exterminating the so-called 3rd Rank Alien Beast King.”
“Yet Planet Blue Star’s civilization has fallen into such a state.”
“Clearly, not only has the mecha pilot system been destroyed, but even the technological heritage of the civilization has likely been forcefully disrupted.”
Thinking of these matters, Jiang Chen was not merely lamenting.
After killing the mecha pilot from the Fire Plunderer civilization, with his nearly boundless stamina, it wouldn’t be a difficult task to deal with the alien beast tide that Planet Blue Star faced.
Including that Alien Beast King—
All three mecha pilots from the Fire Plunderer civilization were taken down by him in direct combat.
Utilizing the explosive strength of eighty thousand, dealing with it would not be an easy task?
But…
Defeating the alien beast king would meet the rescue conditions,
But wouldn’t truly accomplish the mission of Fire Transmission.
Because the calamity that Planet Blue Star now faced was no longer merely an Abyss Calamity.
It was the compounded calamity brought about by the Fire Plunderer civilization!
Even if Jiang Chen killed the Alien Beast King and escaped the abyss,
The remnant sparks of Planet Blue Star’s civilization, stripped of its cultural legacy, would still be too weak to develop in time to withstand the resurgent Abyss Calamity.
They would only trigger another call for help, doomed to repeat the cycle until their remaining value was completely drained and they headed towards destruction.
This was the real predicament faced by Planet Blue Star’s civilization.
At the same time, this was the goal of the Fire Plunderer civilization.
As a young man with sound principles, seeing a civilization and humanity similar to that of Planet Blue Star exploited like fattening pigs by the Fire Plunderers naturally made Jiang Chen very uncomfortable.
Not to mention, as the beacon of hope for the Fire Transmitter faction, rescuing civilizations oppressed by the Fire Plunderer civilization was an expected course of action.
At that moment, he continued to deal with the beast disaster while pondering solutions.
Jiang Chen’s Life Force and stamina quickly returned to peak levels.
Without any team members, he had to let Planet Blue Star’s mecha pilots hold on a little longer while he flew solo into the beast tide, searching for traces of the beast king.
Luckily, he had [High-Energy Perception] ability.
Jiang Chen swept across the vast sea of beasts from above, constantly filtering out those lifeforms with prominent Life Force Energy, capable of triggering a high-energy reaction.
He soon found the location of the Alien Beast King.
Directly removing human limitations, he activated full-powered burst mode, and with a force agility attribute around eighty thousand, he crashed down like a meteor!
Indeed, the three mecha pilots from the Fire Plunderer civilization who had received the distress signal must have met the conditions to [Cross the Abyss].
Meaning, regardless of whether they were top geniuses of the Fire Plunderer civilization, they must have received supercharged mechas and several times the talent enhancements with the support of their civilization.
For Planet Blue Star, they would definitely be top genius mecha pilots!
At the very least equivalent to three Simons!
