Chapter 125: Chapter 100: Is Your Head Hard?_2

Another voice cut in.

“Yeah, it’s only been a few minutes. Hold on a little longer,”

“Besides us, no more than five civilizations that can receive the distress signal to transmit the fire will do so.”

“We’ve already dealt with three civilizations’ Fire Transmitters, just hold on a bit longer, and after we clear out these troublesome guys, we’ll help your civilization carry on.”

Another laugh rang out.

“Yeah, we’re the benefactors of your civilization.”

“After dealing with the beast tide, you’ll have to properly thank us, haha!”

The mecha pilot clenched his teeth, filled with rage and sorrow.

Benefactors?

The Tianyuan civilization was also once at its peak, resisting the Abyss Calamity, and its strongest mecha pilots even broke free from the bonds of their planet and ventured into the stars.

But from the moment they crossed the abyss, everything changed.

Mecha pilots from alien civilizations came across the abyss and, with their power alone, slaughtered most of Tianyuan’s mecha pilots, shattering the backbone of the civilization.

In the end, they left behind what is known as the Fire Transmitter trait.

Having lost their strongest mecha pilots, the Tianyuan civilization struggled to fend off calamities and could only seek help from other civilizations through the Fire Transmitter traits.

However, every time, it was the mecha pilots from the same civilization who arrived first.

They laid in ambush beforehand, repelled the mecha pilots from other civilizations, dealt with the calamities, and “saved the civilization” time and again.

During this process, the Tianyuan civilization also continued to grow weaker.

7th Rank, 6th Rank, 5th Rank…

Time and again, they drank poison to quench their thirst.

Ultimately, Tianyuan fell into its current state, so weak that it couldn’t even withstand calamities of 3rd Rank.

Only the last Seed of Civilization remains, hiding in the ruins of mecha left by former pilots, barely clinging to life.

Even now, in such dire straits.

Out of a will to survive,

they still could only beg for shelter from their enemies.

This mecha pilot had no choice but to channel his inner fury into the beast tide in front of him.

However, the beast tide sweeping over the entire continent, compared to a civilization that has been confined to a corner, seemed virtually endless.

Before long, another mecha pilot ran out of ammunition and exhausted his energy.

Just as he was about to fall back to regroup, several alien beasts suddenly pounced on him.

The scene from before seemed set to repeat itself.

Suddenly, a pitch-black fissure opened in the sky.

A four-meter-tall gold-red mecha fell from it, squashing several alien beasts into pulp with a squelch.

It seemed to sense the oncoming beast tide.

The gold-red mecha raised its right palm, and a massive torrent of flames gushed forth, creating a storm that swept across the field.

The beasts assaulting the defense line, just cannon fodder meant to expend ammunition and energy, weren’t particularly strong.

Faced with these flames, they had little resistance and screeched as they turned to char.

The defensive pressure at the breach in the wall plummeted, and that mecha pilot hurriedly fell back to resupply his ammunition.

The situation seemed to be improving.

However, the mecha pilots on the scene didn’t have much joy in their hearts.

This wasn’t the first batch of mecha pilots from alien civilizations who had arrived in response to the distress signal.

Three groups of pilots had already made an appearance.

Without exception, all had been ambushed by Fire Plunderers, faced dire straits, and were forced to withdraw.

They had hardly been of any use.

Not to mention…

This time, it seemed there was only one mecha pilot?

Just like exploring the abyss, the maximum number of reinforcements from each civilization was three.

Under the same 3rd Rank strength, a single mecha pilot faced with an ambush by three mecha pilots might not even have a chance to retreat!

The “hope” of the Tianyuan civilization sighed inwardly.

This unknown civilization’s mecha pilot was likely doomed.

As expected.

The steam mecha had just cleared a small wave of beasts.

Three glowing points then locked onto him.

The next moment, three red energy beams lit up sharply, striking the steam mecha’s armor from different directions.

Under the beam attack, the golden bronze armor melted visibly!

The steam mecha seemed to have anticipated this.

It immediately raised its hand to throw out a defensive artifact to block the beam.

Just then, its movements froze abruptly, and the figure plummeted, the gears and mecha making sounds of strain.

[Strong Gravity Field]

Supercharge Modules of the technological side could create a high gravity environment for a short time, achieving a controlling effect.

If the enemy was weak, they might even be killed directly by the strong gravity field.

As the steam mecha was hindered in its movements,

a series of small missiles flew in from afar, ignoring the effects of the gravity field, and struck the immobilized steam mecha!

“Alone and daring to compete for Civilization Potential?”

“Brothers, let’s take them down in one go!”

An alloy mecha stood on the outer layer of the ruins, its visor already locked onto the steam mecha, firing off small missiles one after another.

Just then—

The steam mecha suddenly ejected a burst of steam, accompanied by the rotation of gear structures, and large chunks of external armor were blown off.

These pieces of shedding armor blocked high-energy beams, blocked the small missiles.

At the same time, the steam mecha seemed to have shed some kind of restraint, its body becoming more slender, with significantly increased strength and speed.

With just a slight force on its footing, it broke free from the gravity field range and lunged toward the surrounding alloy mecha!

The alloy mecha, watching its movement, saw a series of data flash across its visor.

[Enemy mecha’s strength increased, agility increased.]

[Estimated intensity: Strength 19,300, Agility 18,200.]

[Threat level: Medium.]

“A temporary enhancement talent, or a module?”

“However, that’s too little of an increase, even at full burst it’s barely under 20,000 strength agility…”

The pilot of the alloy mecha, seeing the steam mecha rushing over, couldn’t help but chuckle.

He made his move, charging toward the steam mecha, and shouted through the team’s comms.

“Don’t rush in, sixty seconds left!”

“Since he wants a piece of me, I’ll humor him!”

A civilization’s call for help carries a special frequency.

Only mecha pilots of similar strength can receive the corresponding distress signal.

This means.

This steam mecha, even if it were hiding its true power, couldn’t possibly be that much higher, and certainly couldn’t reach the level of a 4th Rank.

With just this one enemy, even if the pilot of the alloy mecha went wild for a bit, no problems would arise.

After all, two teammates were by his side, at worst they would just need to rescue him.

Therefore, his two teammates just curled their lips but didn’t try to stop him.

“Don’t take too long.”

“There might be new enemies incoming.”

“Alright, alright!”

The alloy mecha’s thrusters accelerated, suddenly transforming its shape, morphing into a metallic colossal ape, and collided with the steam mecha!

Bang!!

Accompanied by the air shockwave.

Steam mecha parts flew everywhere, but the metallic colossal ape was unmoved, tightly gripping the steam mecha’s arms.

It held onto the steam mecha, and like a wild beast, lifted its forehead and slammed it down fiercely!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each hit caused the steam mecha to become more shattered!

After all, the steam mecha’s energy overload state, while increasing both strength and agility, greatly reduced its defense.

Plus the loss of its own Armor Value.

After the final hit, its structure completely fell apart!

Even the central Life Force Energy core shattered on impact!

Having thoroughly dominated the enemy mecha, the pilot of the metallic colossal ape was extremely excited, couldn’t help but pat his chest and let out a few hoots.

Even his teammates couldn’t help but tease him.

“Can we not be so stupid…”

“This is called being wild!”

The pilot of the metallic colossal ape chuckled and looked ahead.

But he noticed that as gears and brass armor plates fell with gravity, the pilot of the opposite side didn’t fall down but revealed his figure instead.

“Anti-gravity device?”

“Eh, that’s not right? Wait, physical enhancement?”

The man emerging from the steam mecha began to stretch rapidly, his body swelling with rocky muscles.

He resembled a monster undergoing a mutation.

Scanning visor swiftly generated information.

[Enemy target Life Force Energy rising rapidly.]

[Estimated intensity: Unknown.]

[Threat: Unknown.]

A phrase in a civilization’s language, unrecorded and incomprehensible to anyone, was uttered.

“Your head, is it tough?”

The next moment.

The two teammates, through their mecha visors, saw the muscular giant move at an almost blur-like speed, raising his hands.

As if clapping, he brought them together in front.

Except, between his hands was the head of the metallic colossal ape.

Bang!!!

Like a hurricane, the shockwave spread out, blowing the alien beasts on the ground into disarray.

Where several hits from the steam mecha caused no damage, the head of the metallic colossal ape was now flattened, twisted, and shattered by the hands.

Row after row of data crazily popped up on the mecha’s visor.

[Enemy target Life Force Energy rising rapidly!]

[Estimated intensity: Strength 80,600, Agility 78,700.]

[Threat: Fatal!]
