BXBX NOVEL Chapter 165: 120: Zero’s Counterattack, Absolute Defense!_2
It boosted the 91,000 defense to 455,000!
At this moment, Zero finally showed her resilience where she had furiously stacked defense.
A mere strike with nearly two hundred thousand in strength…
She took it without a scratch!
Even the Sea Deity Monster, after sensing her state, had its fury replaced with shock and disbelief in an instant.
It was a blow with all Its might, one that even Its mother could not easily ignore…
And yet, this insignificant ant, it didn’t have the slightest damage?
“How is that possible!”
[Weak… weakling, that’s all the strength you have…]
[Haven’t… haven’t you eaten…]
Zero could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the voice she transmitted to Jiang Chen was very faint, incredibly weak.
That was only to be expected.
Yun, in a state of Mecha Soul Fusion, would break out in a burst stance, gaining a massive attribute boost, and still couldn’t withstand the influx of life force energy.
Zero was fundamentally weaker than Yun, yet her enhancement was even higher.
Even just a single defense attribute was an unbearable pressure for her mecha soul.
Don’t look at the primeval mecha itself being unharmed.
In reality, as the mecha soul, Zero had already started to roll her eyes crazily.
But
In such a state, Zero didn’t collapse instantly.
She toughed it out, rolling her eyes all the while, as she endured the enormous life force energy.
She even had the spirit to mock her enemy.
[Weak~ling…]
[You… you don’t really think… that you can hurt Zero, do you?]
[The way you’re trying so hard to attack… It’s really… quite laughable!]
Jiang Chen was silent.
If the voice Zero sent wasn’t so intermittent, it probably would have been a bit more convincing.
Speaking of which, it’s one thing for Yun to be watching hot-blooded mix-cuts all day and mixing in some weird stuff.
But where did Zero get the habit of mocking her enemies?
It’s really quite puzzling!
Jiang Chen has the [Soul of Machinery] trait, so he could hear Zero’s voice.
The Sea Deity Monster clearly couldn’t.
It only knew the ant in front of It was hard beyond imagination.
It switched its attack methods seven or eight times.
From Sea Deity slams to torrential water strikes…
Even the ultimate technique released by expending most of Its primal force couldn’t break the defense of this insignificant ant.
Instead, the depths of the sea abyss were churned and cleansed over and over again in this barrage of attacks.
The Merfolk Empire was completely turned to dust of history, with not even the remains left.
Yeah.
The Sea Deity Monster’s series of attacks left the primeval mecha unscathed, but the allies were wiped out.
This operation was quite eyesore-inducing.
Of course, the Sea Deity Monster never cared about these abnormal, lower-class ants in the first place.
They were merely pets of Its offspring, which is why It was so unrestrained in Its attacks.
Until moments passed.
The primal force of the Sea Deity Monster was nearly squandered away.
It finally saw the rock-like color on the ant’s body gradually fade away and disappear—
Zero’s endurance up to this point was purely due to her having been shattered and repaired countless times, and due to the resilience brought about by enduring Jiang Chen’s unbridled torture.
After all, she was a strong mecha soul who overcame the pain of being broken purely through her own power!
She was even enjoying it!
But, enjoyment aside, there was the fact that the mecha soul’s limit was reached, which couldn’t be changed.
After pushing to her limits, even her voice disappeared, and she fainted on the spot.
Without the mecha soul as a path of communication.
The life force energy on the primeval mecha rapidly retreated and disappeared, returning to Jiang Chen himself.
The Sea Deity Monster finally felt joy.
“The power temporarily stimulated has finally vanished, has it?”
“For an ant to possess such power, no wonder my brother was no match for you…”
“However, an ant will always be nothing more than an ant!”
“Once I’ve dealt with you, I’m going to cleanse the entire land in memory of my brother!”
The Sea Deity Monster moved its form.
With a heart filled with brutality and pleasure, it violently collided with the primeval mecha, which had shed its life force energy.
It intended to vent its pent-up frustration in this way!
Bang!
Soundless waves spread out, turning the massive rocks of the sea abyss into gravel.
The primeval mecha, having regressed to Stage 1, naturally could not withstand the force of the Sea Deity Monster, and under the power of the waves, it completely collapsed into countless drifting ashes.
However, the Sea Deity Monster didn’t advance as devastatingly as imagined but paused—
Within the drifting ashes—
A muscular palm was pressed against its head, effortlessly blocking the impact of nearly two hundred thousand force.
The strangest part was that such a powerful hand did not sink into the thick skin.
Instead, it gently held up the towering body of the Sea Deity Monster!
“Congratulations, you’ve unlocked my restraints.”
Distinctive language waves of ancient creatures spread out from the translator.
The muscular man’s hair fluttered in the water, and he smirked, showing his white teeth, laughing like a demon god.
His right hand, fitted with Gravity Iron Fists, clenched tight, and his muscles abruptly swelled several times.
(14.48 million base strength + 17.2 million limitation unlock) * 1.5 times inner force outburst + 100 thousand Gravity Iron Fists + 50 thousand Weapons Master trait = 625.2 thousand strength.
Compared to when I was up against the supreme deity monster, I only absorbed mecha twice.
Yet I’ve achieved the highest burst output with an additional two hundred thousand strength!
This is the traditional secret combat technique bestowed by the “Muscle Combat Warrior” method, Great Strength Sends Brick Flying Chapter, first style—
Ordinary Punch.
Jiang Chen swung his right fist, landing a light blow on the head of the Sea Deity Monster.
It wasn’t that it didn’t dodge, but it didn’t even have time to react before being struck by the fist.
Under the force of the punch, the water pressure soared dramatically, creating an explosion in the super high-pressure condition, which, along with the fist, struck the head of the Sea Deity Monster.
As the waves spread, the head of the Sea Deity Monster was directly smashed flat and burst open!
Bang!!!
The sea abyss turned into a blood pool entirely.
Seeing abyss atmosphere flow out from the body of the Sea Deity Monster into the Abyss Rune,
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but shake his head.
“You’re not up to par, brother.”
“This is only Stage 3 for me, and I haven’t even begun Return to Primal State.”
The Abyss Rune forms text before his eyes.
[Defeated the Sea Deity Monster, obtained Epic Material: Sea Abyss Clear Crystal.]
[Defeated the Sea Deity Monster, obtained perfect module: Water Ripple (Supercharged).]
[Defeated the Sea Deity Monster, obtained Mythical Item: Supercharge Upgrade.]
Jiang Chen’s eyes swept over the rewards, elated.
These ancient monsters are indeed well-off; the supreme deity monster dropped me a Supercharge Module, and so did the Sea Deity Monster!
If I could get another one…
By the end of this trial-by-advancement, Zero could directly become a Supercharged Mecha, using the Latent Ability Upgrade item to complete its transformation!
“I just forgot to ask how many siblings these monsters have at home, whether they’re from a single parent or dual-parent families…”
That was just a passing thought.
Jiang Chen was the one who lured out the Sea Deity Monster using the “Primeval Blood Essence” of the supreme deity monster.
Even if Jiang Chen did try to extract information, it surely wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal too much.
Instead of finding other monsters by inquiring,
I might as well replicate the previous method.
Use the bodies, primeval blood, and atmosphere of the Sea Deity Monster and supreme deity monster to lure out their kin hidden on the planet.
With that thought, Jiang Chen took out the [Primordial Blood Collector] again.
He began to collect the primeval blood of the Sea Deity Monster’s remains deep in the sea abyss.
[Talent Triggered: Undying Barehand.]
