Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

Chapter 346: Chapter 228: Sweeping Through the Undead Fleet

The undead commander’s attribute strength approached 50 billion, placing him in the mid-phase of the 9th Rank.

In a Star Alliance battlefield that was on the 7th Rank level, he was undoubtedly delivering a dimension-reducing strike, where a casual attack could wipe out huge swathes of Star Alliance fighters.

With his power alone, annihilating the entire Star Alliance fleet wouldn’t be a problem.

Unfortunately…

He was not legendary.

And across from him, Yun, though he only had a base attribute of 7 billion after activating Mecha Soul Fusion,

had gained through Jiang Chen a legendary and mythical dual trait enhancement!

Combined with module synergy, that was enough to unleash a terrifying power at the level of 11th Rank, reaching zetta-level strength—

By the time the undead commander realized something was off, it was already too late to evade.

The scepter was smashed to pieces by a punch from the steam mecha, followed by an elbow strike that burst his head open, destroying his consciousness core!

Countless spiritual energies went out of control, exploding into a green energy burst.

Within this green energy, countless fragmented undead souls wailed as they scattered in all directions, gradually dissipating into the vacuum.

Even if the undead commander’s consciousness had been stronger, lingering for a few more seconds,

those brief moments were not enough for him to understand one thing.

“50 billion versus 7 billion, how did he kill me in an instant?”

[Upon slaying the Apoptosis Undead, obtained Mythical Material: Apoptosis Skeleton.]

[Upon slaying the Apoptosis Undead, obtained an Epic Module: Death Withering (Supercharged).]

[Upon slaying the Apoptosis Undead, obtained a Mythical Item: Supercharge Upgrade.]

The moment Jiang Chen killed the undead commander, he had already shifted his focus elsewhere.

Having slain countless legends already, a non-legendary overlord like this one wasn’t worth his extra attention.

Does one recall how many minions they’ve replenished while gaming in the canyon?

What he cared about was the profit that replenishing minions brought.

The abyss atmosphere surged out, part of it absorbed by the special device “Refining Soul Using Source” installed in the steam mecha, significantly enhancing the mecha soul’s strength.

Another part flowed into the Abyss Rune, manifesting as loot.

When Jiang Chen saw the glow of the Mythical Item, he couldn’t help but smile.

Here it comes, the ultra-high burst rate is here again!

In the Endless Deathmatch Arena, only by killing a Legendary Overlord could one drop the Mythical Item “Continuous Strengthening,” which could not be traded.

Now, even a 9th Rank non-legendary overlord could drop such premium and tradeable items!

Isn’t that a joyous grind?

“I hope there are more undead commanders in the Dead Spirits Empire; the more, the merrier,” Jiang Chen hoped.

Jiang Chen scanned his surroundings and then focused on the Epic Module [Death Withering], his face expressing even more joy—

What a find!

This Epic Module’s effect was precisely the withering decay attack demonstrated by the undead just now.

In terms of power and effect, it was actually far inferior to the Mythical Modules Jiang Chen obtained from the Endless Deathmatch Arena.

After all, those came from Legendary Overlords and were naturally stronger.

But…

It was one of the rare modules offering ultra-wide-range damage!

The Legendary Overlords in the Endless Deathmatch Arena were all Asuras of personal martial prowess.

Even their long-range attacks usually had a limited scope, focusing on single-target damage.

Therefore, the modules they produced were at most capable of small-area damage.

As for the ultra-wide-range damage modules from the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant, due to the higher-rank lords involved, they could only be equipped after undergoing a secondary sublimation.

Jiang Chen had prepared some in the Book of Modules, but was unable to equip them for the time being.

Now, this module was just what he needed!

At this moment, Jiang Chen was sitting in the cockpit of the steam mecha, raising his hand to touch the Abyss Rune, with a green skeleton module appearing at his fingertips.

A module slot appeared beside the seat, automatically ejecting an attribute module that he caught and smoothly inserted the new module into.

The moment the module was equipped—

The steam mecha’s chest energy core, which should have transformed into a green-tinged Spiritual Energy core,

activated the Adaptation Power trait.

The white energy remained unchanged; instead, the green module was rapidly bleached and transformed into shining white glyphs swirling around the steam mecha’s right hand.

[Death Withering · Time Specialization]

The steam mecha raised its right hand, its internal energy cores converging frenetically, depleting almost instantly.

Just one use of the module’s capability exhausted nearly all of its energy!

At the same time, the effect was incredibly astonishing—

A base enigmatic value of 7 billion, amplified six times by the Epic ability, plus the Battle Spirit, and another eightfold enhancement by two specialized modules.

This amounted to a staggering 3360 billion super-wide-range mass attack!

Moreover, it carried the complex properties of time and decay!

With virtually no delay, the surging energy leaped across distances, appearing right in front of the undead fleet.

The first to bear the brunt was the undead fleet’s defense line: the Spiritual Energy shield.

This type of energy shield had an instantaneous load limit of about 200 billion.

It could defend against attacks at the 10th Rank level and, if not shattered with a single strike, could be rapidly reenergized and repaired by drawing energy from the major fleets.

Even the just-slain undead commander could not easily break through it.

Yet, under the invisible force of time decay, the energy shield’s consumption skyrocketed.

Almost instantly, it exceeded the maximum load, dissipated, and vanished.

Without the shield’s protection, the force of decay continued to pour into the undead fleet.

The moment contact occurred, one by one, the beetle-shaped warships made of green crystal began to visibly deteriorate and decay.

These green crystals, which had slept for millions of years without the slightest change,
