Chapter 197: Chapter 139 Fire Transmission, Fire Plunder, Soul Plunder, Reincarnation are all evil!_2
Equal strength in combat is still manageable.
But facing a boss of Jiang Chen’s level, even a slight delay in casting spells can be a fatal flaw!
Luckily, the boss shifted his enmity mid-battle, harvesting a wave of gravely injured teammates first.
The divine prodigy Ying Tian finally activated his Spatial Leap ability, disappearing from sight.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the city’s protective barrier, standing at the edge of the heavens.
The barrier intended to protect the city had ironically become his lifesaver.
The divine prodigy Ying Tian looked back at the sky dome, let out a sigh of relief, smiled, and turned on his mecha’s communication device.
“You hypocritical Fire Transmitter mecha pilot, just try to break this barrier, and the Stargazers Civilization’s city will be destroyed by the abyssal monsters!”
“Do you dare?”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian had been through much education, aware of the hypocrisy and conservatism of the Fire Transmitter civilization.
Now, he planned to use the safety of the Stargazers Civilization’s city to influence the judgment of the Fire Transmitter mecha pilot.
Even if it was just a slight delay, it would significantly increase his chances of survival!
While transmitting his voice, he continued to activate his mecha and Spatial Leap ability, flying towards the outer space.
However, when he looked back towards the sky, his expression froze.
The Meteor Star life forms that had been bombarding the barrier, seeking to destroy civilization, had ceased their assault without warning.
Only some small meteorites measuring a few dozen meters remained, continuously summoning meteoric fire.
The largest meteorite life form, with a diameter surpassing ten kilometers, was soaring into outer space.
Its speed was significantly faster than his.
“?”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian’s face darkened.
Abyss monsters are not fools; Meteor Star life forms possess intelligence.
They continued the attack when they saw Ying Tian, thinking they could still fight, so they did not retreat.
Upon seeing the Stage 3 boss, they immediately took off.
“Damn it, picking on the weak and fearing the strong!”
“You are a disgrace to the Meteor Star Calamity!”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian cursed while rushing towards the sky, praying internally that the barrier would delay the boss for just a little longer.
But things did not go as he wished.
The barrier was primarily for defending against external attacks; it was significantly weaker on the inside.
The boss crashed into the barrier, switched to power-boosting output mode, and in just a few hits, several cracks were formed.
Metallic tentacles forcibly tore open the cracks, and a massive head with a smirk emerged.
“Here I come~”
Crack~
The barrier shattered!
Mode Switch, High-Speed Mode!
With the barrier gone, the boss fully displayed its incredible speed.
Transforming into a blazing fire meteor, it pursued the divine prodigy Ying Tian and the Meteor Star life form in the sky.
During this chase, four mechanical tentacles each wielded a high-energy ray weapon, firing blue lasers.
They swiftly shattered the remaining smaller Meteor Star life forms that were too slow to escape.
Ying Tian possessed Spatial Leap, and his Divine Soul Mecha could ignore air resistance; compared to the massive Meteor Star life form, he had an advantage.
He succeeded in overtaking it, getting ahead of the Meteor Star life form.
Less than three seconds after passing, a burst of light flared violently, and countless fiery rocks exploded.
The Meteor Star life form, over ten kilometers in diameter, was penetrated through its center by the boss, its core shattered, turning into countless fragments—
Even these fragments were covered in flames and slowly turned to ash.
[Defeated Meteor Star’s main body, obtained special material: Meteoric Iron Alloy.]
…
[Successful defeat of the leader, end of the Abyss Calamity, rescue mission complete.]
[Fire Transmitter traits have been activated…]
[Planet Blue Star’s Civilization Potential has increased, current potential: 27.]
[Unknown traits brewing (Civilization Potential insufficient, please continue to raise).]
[Settlement complete, would you like to leave the abyss now?]
[Note: If you refuse to leave, you may stay for an additional twenty-four hours.]
Upon ending the Abyss Calamity and completing the rescue mission, the Civilization Potential gained was divided according to contribution.
Ying Tian, along with other Fire Plunderer mecha pilots with contributions below a certain threshold, didn’t get anything.
At this moment, he wasn’t concerned about that; instead, he was desperately propelling his mecha, frantically flying further into outer space.
Such a calamity leader, even for Ying Tian, required cooperation with two teammates to defeat, after some effort.
But now, it had been instantly killed upon encounter.
This gave him a more tangible sense of the boss’s Stage 3 power.
It was precisely this horrifying strength that completely cut off his last hope of escape.
Within moments, he was caught by the boss, his whole Divine Soul Mecha ensnared by mechanical tentacles, incapable of breaking free—
Though the Divine Soul Mecha was an energy body capable of transforming into an energy state,
Ying Tian was human and couldn’t change form.
Should his mecha become energy, he would be directly exposed to the mechanical tentacles.
This effectively sealed off his Spatial Leap ability.
It was only possible for him to perform a Spatial Leap with the Divine Soul Mecha when everything but the cockpit transformed into energy.
Certainly, that was impossible at the moment.
As for abandoning the Mecha and leaping through space alone…
He had already reached the outer atmosphere of the planet. With his physical condition, without the protection of the mecha cockpit, death was the only outcome.
“Alright then, you deceptive Fire Transmitter mecha pilot.”
“I admit, this time you’ve won.”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian sighed, finally giving up the struggle, and leaned back, lying down in the cockpit.
“I didn’t expect you to be a physique type mecha pilot, and that you found a way to trick the distress signal, using 5th Rank power to fight a 4th Rank support…”
“Isn’t that bullying?”
“I’ll tell you, you damn well picked the right person, I am the soft persimmon!”
“From now on, whether it’s distress signals or the Purgatory level, I swear I’ll take a detour, to fight you again would make me a dog!”
