Chapter 203: Chapter 143: I Recognize Your Output!_1
[Current Location: Bio-organic Planet]
[Level: 2]
[Difficulty: Endless]
[Strength: 5th Rank]
[Mission: Kill the final boss: Dominator.]
[Description: He was born on the Bio-organic Planet, merged with countless lives, achieved symbiosis, and ultimately dominated everything.
He has absorbed the essence of all genetics, possessing infinite potential.
And now, He has returned with a vengeance.]
[Friendly Reminder: Free exploration is available, and you may withdraw from the abyss at any time (requires one minute of preparation time).]
As an Age-Old Shadow of the second layer, the Bio-organic Planet had already been cleared by Jiang Chen once before.
Even the final boss, the Dominator, had his secrets unravelled by Jiang Chen, who learned all the abilities and rules of Abyss difficulty level.
Therefore, he knew that, as a fungal life form, the Dominator had many differences from Master Chao—
Master Chao, as a life form that grew and evolved from roots, inherently had the ability to absorb Star Radiance and grow limitlessly.
Apart from Photosynthesis, the way Master Chao exhibited the genes absorbed from planetary life was not by converting into corresponding cells.
Rather, he used root fibers for biomimicry, thereby achieving effects that surpassed the original versions.
This also shaped his ability to use Star Radiance for rapid growth and self-repair.
That is the trait of Master Chao.
Absorb, evolve, surpass.
As a fungal life form, the Dominator has completely different characteristics from Master Chao.
Parasitic, symbiotic, dominate.
Take Photosynthesis, for instance, fungi themselves cannot perform Photosynthesis.
Therefore, the Dominator achieved symbiosis with plant characteristics to form a half-fungal, half-plant exterior that granted him the ability for Photosynthesis.
It’s precisely this unique ability that allowed him to acquire various biological traits and merge them into one.
Creating a powerful body of domination.
This body of domination, although not as efficient in rapid regeneration or energy production as Master Chao.
Could still achieve rapid recovery through accumulated energy and was immensely tough.
And furthermore, based on fungal characteristics.
He could forcibly absorb the life force of his enemies to fill his own body.
Even, during this process, gradually invade the enemy machinery, achieving parasitic control effects.
Therefore, in the fight against the Dominator, one must kill him as quickly as possible.
The longer the fight lasts, the more dangerous it becomes.
“But with the abyss leader on Endless Difficulty Level, their strength is always a notch higher than the challenger’s.”
“Trying to end the battle quickly is virtually impossible.”
At this very moment.
Jiang Chen was piloting a steam mecha, battling with the Dominator on this moss and lichen-covered planet.
Even with Mecha Soul Fusion activated and in overload mode, achieving a speed of over a million.
He still couldn’t confront the Dominator.
Moreover, due to the weakening of strength by 30% in High-Speed Mode,
The steam mecha’s base strength plummeted to below four hundred thousand.
Only when Jiang Chen used his high computational power and perception to detect the Dominator’s weaknesses and attacked them, could he barely cause some damage.
Normally, he couldn’t even break through his defenses.
And even if he managed to inflict some minor damage.
The Dominator could rapidly recover by digesting the energy of the lichens.
Had it not been for the extreme speed of the steam mecha, coupled with Jiang Chen’s top-tier maneuvering, greatly enhancing the mecha’s dodging ability.
By using various circus-like tactics to avoid the Dominator’s attacks,
He likely wouldn’t have lasted even a moment before being swiftly overpowered!
Even so, as the fifty-second burst period elapsed,
The speed of the steam mecha immediately dropped to an agonizingly slow level.
This creature, with a body length of about twenty meters, possessing emerald green plant skin, covered in a multitude of fungi, and resembling a deformed western green dragon with a lizard-like form sutured with various organs, immediately swooped down like a hawk.
While tearing the metal armor with its claws, it spoke disdainfully.
“I thought that after eons, something might finally amuse me…”
“But I didn’t expect that in just a few dozen seconds, you’d already be at your limit.”
“It’s time to tear you apart.”
The steam mecha had already reached its limit.
Facing the Dominator’s attack, it shattered on the spot.
[Talent Trigger: Undying Barehand]
[Mecha absorbed: Overloaded Steam Yun – Utility Type]
[Strength 490,000→690,000]
[Agility 489,000→689,000]
[Defense 583,000→663,000]
[Enigmatism 111,000→115,000]
From within the shattered golden-red armor.
A giant, slightly smaller than the Dominator, stretched out his left hand and tightly grasped the Dominator’s claws.
Dozens of Mechanical Tentacles, each extending over a hundred meters, shot out from his back, firmly binding the fungal green dragon.
The eight-eyed giant raised his right hand to touch the Abyss Rune.
While retracting the shards of golden-red armor, he equipped the Gravity Iron Fists onto his fists.
Now that his strength was sufficient, the Gravity Iron Fists’ restrictions were lifted, and their level ascended to 4th Rank.
While the energy cost increased, the highest power enhancement rose from 100,000 to 1,000,000.
“So you say, you’re quite brave.”
“I wonder, how many seconds can you last?”
“Come on, show me!”
