Chapter 225: 156 I am a pure-blood human!_2
Unlike the enthusiastic Zero, Yun was different.
Yuu’s response seemed somewhat thin.
“Me too.”
But that was all there was to the thin response.
Jiang Chen could feel the passionate energy hidden in the depths of Yuu’s mecha soul through the traits of the Machine Soul.
Even though this enthusiasm wasn’t outwardly displayed, he could sense part of it—
‘Having the master inside me, I’m so happy, I must perform well…’
See, Yuu wasn’t indifferent, just a bit reserved.
That was normal.
At this moment, three mechas were ready.
The three-headed dragon mecha spread its wings and flew backward adding distance, placing both the primeval and steam mechas in front of it for protection.
The steam mecha began to gather power.
On the other hand, the primeval mecha stood in the very front.
Whether compared to the twenty-three-meter steam mecha or the over twenty-meter tall Purgatory Asura, it appeared to be a mini toy.
Purgatory Asura patiently watched all this with interest and asked.
“Three mechas?”
“The energy intensity seems a bit low, are you sure you want to fight like this?”
As Purgatory Asura was curious,
the surging Life Force, based on the mecha soul bond, ignored the distance and poured directly into the three mechas.
Their attributes began to increase rapidly, breaking through a million in just a moment!
[Time Deceleration Fusion]!
“Let’s start.”
The burden of the attributes was too great, even Time Deceleration Fusion couldn’t last for many seconds.
Just as Jiang Chen was offering a friendly reminder, the three mechas had already begun to move at a speed surpassing that of sound.
The primeval mecha sprouted thorns all over its body and a jet on its back, charging swiftly at Purgatory Asura to commence the attack.
The steam mecha lifted its arms, shedding its armor, which was replaced with [Gravity Metal Fist] equipment.
The energy of the mecha body overloaded rapidly; steam burned, and red lines crawled on the surface of the armor, entering red hot overload mode.
The two mechas initiated the attack first.
But, the enemy they faced was not a common lord.
It was the Purgatory Asura, who had fought countless battles.
It looked at the three moving mechas, feeling their surging power inside, and a smile squeezed onto its red-faced, fanged visage.
“I see, an enhanced-type mecha pilot talent, huh?”
“A fine power.”
It lifted an arm, and with a gesture caught a pitch-black orb from the air, declaring,
“This is my first artifact, the [Shadow Orb].”
“Its effect is… shadowfication.”
A trace of power flowed from the orb, passing over its body surface, and in an instant, the red Purgatory body transformed into a pitch-black shadow.
The primeval mecha’s punch directed at it passed right through its body without causing any damage.
Instead, Purgatory Asura moved slightly, avoiding the overlapping area, reappeared, and with a squeeze of the Shadow Orb in hand, turned it into a shadow blade and slashed down.
An obvious crevice was immediately carved into the primeval mecha’s armor surface.
Purgatory Asura paused slightly as it felt a small amount of Life Force lost at the moment its shadow blade contacted the mecha’s thorns, which absorbed it.
“Life drainage?”
“Then… [Thunder Orb].”
Purgatory Asura became ethereal again while dodging the attacks of both the primeval and steam mechas, and drew out a bright blue orb with its second hand and grasped it hard.
The orb transformed into a thunder spear, summoning divine thunder from the nine heavens, striking the primeval mecha and charring some of its armor.
At the same time, it continued to move, brandishing its weapons.
Wielding the thunder spear and the shadow blade, it launched an attack on the steam mecha.
The steam mecha was in [Output Mode], completely in red hot form, with strong attacks but weaker speed.
Add to that Purgatory Asura’s extremely cunning attack, seizing the fleeting opportunity,
there was almost no way to dodge and it was struck head-on, its Armor Value plummeting sharply.
An Energy Overload would continue to erode the Armor Value.
Every bit of Armor Value was extremely precious to the steam mecha.
It hurriedly accelerated to retreat, quickly switching forms in the process—
[Output Mode]→[High-Speed Mode].
Strength 130%→70%.
Agility 70%→130%.
At this moment, Agility received nearly double the boost!
Combined with the boost from the power of time, the steam mecha’s speed increased fivefold or more and, while grounded, had a movement speed comparable to ten million Agility!
A tip of the foot exerted slight pressure, ejecting high-temperature steam from the soles.
In this instant, the steam mecha nearly turned into a streak of golden lightning!
Despite Purgatory Asura’s massive strength of 7 million, the majority of its combat ability came from the orbs and its peak battle skill.
Its actual attributes were only a little over two million.
When compared to the steam mecha’s High-Speed Mode, it was unknown how many beats slower.
However, when the steam mecha brandished its fist to attack it,
it still caught the moment just right, switched to a shadow stance, and dodged the attack.
Though shadow stance couldn’t be maintained for long and had a release interval, it could predict movements, brandishing its weapons to block the attacks from the steam mecha.
And during this process, the primeval mecha was also dealing output interference, making it hard to cope with attacks from all sides…
Purgatory Asura had six arms.
It raised both hands, clutching the air slightly above.
White and red orbs emerged in its palms.
“[Frost Orb], slowing effect.”
“[Flame Orb], speed increase.”
As it closed its hands, the two orbs turned into an ice disc and a flame sword, respectively.
The former caused a slowness effect on the steam mecha.
It not only significantly reduced the steam mecha’s speed but even weakened the overloading effect of the steam mecha, reducing the attribute bonus!
