Chapter 106: Chapter 92: Blazing Starsky Spaceship, Terrifying Firepower!_1

Translator: 549690339

After completing the mecha enhancement and returning to the island base, the current affairs brought by the first passage through the abyss had been basically dealt with.

Next, it was time to furiously grind the abyss and start snowballing!

Jiang Chen was full of anticipation.

After all, a full set of Supercharge Modules could let the mecha gain the strength of a higher level in advance, which was a tenfold increase in attributes.

It could allow his parents with average talents to reach the strength of the Symbol of the Alliance from the old era.

It could also build one genius after another in the new era, who would be qualified to clear the highest difficulty.

So, what about him?

He was the one who stood to gain the most!

Keep in mind,

Others were just increasing their strength.

Jiang Chen was accelerating his growth rate!

If the primeval mecha were equipped with a full set of Supercharge Modules, taking its attributes to ten times that of an ordinary mecha, and considering the excellent quality, multiplied by a threefold absorption efficiency…

Just one activation of his talent could yield thirty times the attributes of an ordinary mecha of the same rank!

Activating his talent twice could allow him to cruise through abyss difficulty of the same level and dominate the Transcenders of the Star of Mutation!

With a few more activations of his talent…

Would he have to drag out the Land of Eternal Day to avoid the rebirth mechanism?

There’s no need for such trouble.

Strategy N: Use strength that exceeds the rebirth speed of the Transcenders to annihilate them instantly, blasting the Life Force Core into the finest dust particles, thus ignoring revival.

“Once I get the full set of Supercharge Modules, even the Abyss difficulty seems a bit shallow…”

“Can you give me a challenge, let me enjoy it to the fullest?”

At this moment, Jiang Chen remembered the information in [Civilization Access Rights].

Among them, the value corresponding to [Civilization Potential] was only “1” point.

Clearly, Planet Blue Star before clearing the abyss had a pitiful “0” points of potential.

This meant that a civilization unable to cross the abyss had no potential at all!

He now understood the meaning.

Only civilizations that had crossed the abyss could have a stable source of Supercharge Module output, thus beginning growth like a snowball rolling downhill.

Talents that were once rare would emerge like a tide with the change of the era.

At the same time, geniuses with outstanding talents would become even stronger in the new era.

But even so…

The Civilization Potential still stood at the lonely number “1”.

“What does that signify?”

“The number of times the abyss is cleared? The number of people? Or the number of levels?”

“If Civilization Potential continues to increase, will new traits be unlocked, or will new abyss difficulties become available?”

Jiang Chen was somewhat curious.

After all, if abyss difficulty is the benchmark for measuring Civilization Potential…

Then it couldn’t possibly be the real limit.

Nobody installs a threshold at the ceiling; that would be too illogical.

However, the Abyss Rune obviously wouldn’t answer his questions.

Since that was the case,

Jiang Chen could only step on the threshold of the abyss a few more times, striving to stamp it into the ground, reducing it to dust!

Of course—

Before formally challenging the abyss,

Jiang Chen first checked [Star of Mutation] and experienced the brand new [Age-Old Abyss] difficulty level.

As expected, the Transcenders within the Age-Old Abyss difficulty were locked to a period just before their clearance, in terms of memory, attributes, and abilities.

He even remembered Jiang Chen, but that’s all he remembered about Jiang Chen.

No more memories would be forthcoming.

Clearly, the real Transcenders had already died.

This was a [Shadow Fragment] remade by the abyss.

As a Shadow Fragment, its rewards were far less rich than those of the true abyss.

When Jiang Chen cleared it solo, he even failed to get a reward of a Supercharge Module, merely obtaining some high-quality modules and materials.

“As the highest difficulty, the Age-Old Abyss should still be able to drop supercharged items.”

“It’s just that the probability has decreased.”

Jiang Chen pondered.

The instance’s difficulty remained the same, but the drop rates had decreased.

At the same time, the new Endless Abyss had emerged with similar difficulty but higher drop rates.

If this was the setting of some being…

Then clearly, they were encouraging civilizations to constantly overcome new abysses, instead of dwelling in the days of old.

“Then as you wish.”

Jiang Chen touched the Abyss Rune.

As he confirmed the abyss, he thought to himself,

Transform!

Flames mixed with black ashes burst forth from the Abyss Rune, wrapping him completely within.

When the flames passed over his body, a root mecha with the color of gray-white and embers of remaining fire stood in his place.

[10,9,8…]

[The past is reborn, the shadow is immortal.]

[Welcome back to the abyss.]

Darkness swept over, engulfing the mecha.

[Current location: Steam Raging Tide]

[Level: 1st Rank]

[Difficulty: Abyss]

[Mission: Defeat the final boss: Blazing Starsky Spaceship.]

[Description: Civilization perished, life vanished, steam machinery finally dominated the land.

However, after long years, each steam machine fell to the earth.

Only the source of it all, the spaceship infused with a human brain, still tirelessly sailed the skies above.

It dismantled all metal machinery to integrate into itself, enhancing its being.

It excavated mountains, breaking down soil and rock into fuel to provide power.

It was like a greedy beast, devouring the planetary land.

Until the end.]

[Friendly Reminder: Free to explore, you can leave the abyss at any time (requires one minute of preparation time).]

Across the boundless land, wreckage and ruins had been buried by dust, with only occasional traces visible.

The sky was filled with billowing black smoke, creating persistent clouds obscuring the sunlight.

Under the gloomy dark coulds, there was a crude-shaped, colossal steam behemoth, more a floating metal city than a spaceship.
