BXBX NOVEL Chapter 195: 138: This Boss Has a 3rd Stage?_3
Although it didn’t truly harm the steam mecha, it did affect the steam mecha’s output efficiency.
It effectively extended the combiner mecha’s endurance time.
Finally, at the forty-fifth second,
The steam mecha’s consumption was too high, and its eruption ended.
Its attributes reverted to the normal state of 200,000 force agility—even if it switched to the extreme speed stance, there was only 140,000 strength and 260,000 agility left.
The true speed dropped to just over 400,000, no longer unattainable.
At this moment, the combiner mecha was on the verge of shattering, and the Fire Plunderer mecha pilot had almost completely lost combat capability.
However, the divine prodigy Ying Tian was still in a relatively good condition.
Using the speed of the Divine Soul Mecha and his own Spatial Leap ability, he clung to the weakened steam mecha.
The real second stage of output began.
During this process, the divine prodigy Ying Tian was confident of victory and couldn’t help but reveal a smile—
The opponent was a hope candidate of an advanced civilization, and their talent was necessarily on the same level as his own, if not higher.
That meant the opponent, like himself, was a 1st Rank mecha pilot, with at most two mechas.
This steam mecha was the last one!
As long as he destroyed this mecha…
He would have won!
This was the first time divine prodigy Ying Tian experienced such an exhilarating battle; his heart was filled with satisfaction and ease, with little intent to kill—
Even if he killed the opponent once, it wouldn’t matter.
Advanced civilizations had gathered innumerable legacies from various civilizations and naturally would also possess rebirth-related legacy abilities.
Although the cost was steep, these hope candidates like him usually had one or two chances to save their own lives.
Even if they died in the abyss, they could be reborn within their civilization.
Just like when he became a divine prodigy, the Divine Lord granted him a chance at rebirth, which he had not yet used.
The opponent, being a hope candidate of an even higher civilization and so arrogantly venturing alone, had no intention of retreating even now.
Clearly, they also had a chance for rebirth.
So, with victory within his grasp, divine prodigy Ying Tian did not rush to crush the steam mecha.
Instead, he slowed down the pace and began to make a victory speech.
“Friend, I brought two pieces of trash to fight you, and you were able to kill one and cripple the other…”
“Tsk tsk, if I weren’t here, you might really have been able to do a three-in-one strike.”
“And you, you’ve actually managed to create a Time Mecha at the 1st Rank…”
“Could you be a mecha pilot from a civilization above level 10?”
“…”
The steam mecha gradually slowed its attack speed, but still remained silent.
Divine prodigy Ying Tian seemed to understand something, his face showing a bit more of a smile.
“I’m just guessing randomly; it’s normal if it’s not right.”
“There are too few civilizations above level 10, and I am merely a hope candidate from a level 8 civilization, probably quite similar to you, brother.”
“Tsk tsk, brother, although you come from a level 8 or 9 civilization, you were able to create an exquisite mecha so early. It seems that you are highly valued.”
“A 1st Rank Time Mecha, even looking across the entire Purgatory level, there probably aren’t many…”
“I really envy you.”
“How about we become friends?”
“If we meet in the Purgatory level in the future, we could exchange some necessary materials?”
“My civilization has quite a few special local products.”
“…”
The steam mecha still had no response.
The look in divine prodigy Ying Tian’s eyes flickered.
“Right, I forgot to ask.”
“Brother, are you here to Fire Plunder, or to Fire Transmit?”
“…”
After a moment of silence.
The divine prodigy Ying Tian’s expression turned cold, and he cursed loudly.
“Turns out you’re a naturally duplicitous Fire Transmitter mecha pilot!”
His movements suddenly accelerated, without a trace of hesitation.
The Divine Soul Mecha’s energy extended, quickly forming a multitude of energy cannons, and barraged the steam mecha in front of him with saturation fire.
At the same time, he activated the sharpshooter mecha and injected energy into it.
[Magic Bullet: Energy Impact]
The Divine Soul Mecha’s sudden burst emitted dozens of high-powered energy bullets, sealing off every possible evasion path for the steam mecha.
Even though the steam mecha still maintained a high speed, it was impossible to dodge all the attacks.
In the end, it was bombarded by the energy bullets on its mech surface.
Overloading for several tens of seconds, the steam mecha had already reached its limit.
After taking the impact of the energy bullets, it completely burst apart, shattering into a multitude of gold and red alloy components and gears, falling in all directions.
Before these parts hit the ground, they turned into abyss atmosphere and were retracted into the Abyss Rune.
Ying Tian, the divine prodigy, paid no attention to these.
He looked coldly at the pilot who had been exposed from inside the mech, his heart filled with the intent to kill.
For a mecha pilot, the same revival method can only take effect once.
That is to say, even if you have the ability to revive, there is a limit to the number of lives.
He wanted to kill this candidate of hope before they could retreat, depriving them of one chance for revival!
In doing so, if he encountered him in the Purgatory level in the future, he would have the opportunity to vanquish him completely.
However, before the divine prodigy Ying Tian could make a move,
his breath abruptly stopped.
The analysis chip on his forehead continuously stimulated his brain, conveying a message—
[Human Type: Flesh (Unknown?)]
[Base Strength: about 500,000, about 600,000, about 700,000, about 800,000…]
[Current State: Normal State → Enhanced State (continuous strengthening, time unknown)]
[Type Inference: ???]
[Advice: Flee Immediately!!]
[Threat Level: Death!!]
[Run!!!]
“Why stop talking?”
A rough voice sounded.
From within the fragments of the steam mecha, an expanding flesh entity emerged.
It had a humanoid shape, with muscles that swelled and distorted all over its body, the muscles’ surface covered with radiant patterns.
These patterns extended from the fingers to the shoulders, up to the neck, and onto the cheeks.
They formed six radiant eyes, which opened on either side of its face.
Its height, from around 1.8 meters, swelled rapidly to 3 meters, 5 meters, 7 meters, 10 meters…
Eventually stopping at a gigantic size of 13 meters.
Behind him, huge bulges rose rapidly, tearing his upper garment apart, revealing an upper body covered in muscles and glowing patterns, along with four metallic tentacles longer than a hundred meters.
It licked its lips, its eight eyes fixing on Ying Tian standing before it, its voice spreading through the air.
“Keep talking.”
“Naturally evil Fire Plunderer scum.”
“I love hearing this stuff you’re saying.”
“…”
Evil?
Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and see who is truly evil?!
The heart of Ying Tian, the divine prodigy, stopped abruptly.
Was it this thing that was piloting the mecha just now?
Fuck, this boss has a Stage 3?
