Chapter 183 Astral Hangar! Legendary Main Gun Blueprints!
Chapter 183 Astral Hangar! Legendary Main Gun Blueprints!
The black smoke dissipated.
The dark gold heavy armor stood firmly in place, with only a faint white mark on the astral meteorite armor on its chest.
In mid-air, Baal's hideous demonic face twisted instantly.
"How is that possible!"
Barr roared.
He was the Grand Commander of the Seventh Legion of the Abyss. Even with 40% of his attributes forcibly suppressed by the laws of the plane, that Destruction Spear was still enough to pierce through a mountain range.
How come this broken metal shell is completely undamaged?
Jiang Ming sat in the control room, watching the damage feedback pop up on the screen.
[Impacted by high-level abyssal energy.]
[The Astral Meteorite Armor has absorbed 90% of magic damage.]
[The Spark Matrix triggered source energy assimilation, absorbing the remaining 10% of energy.]
This level of defense is simply outrageous.
"Is that all the strength you have? Didn't you eat enough?" Jiang Ming pressed the communicator. "Chen Qi, increase the intensity for him."
"Alright!"
Chen Qi pushed the control lever hard.
The mech raised its left arm, and the dark, gaping muzzle of its gravity cannon was aimed directly at Baal in mid-air.
boom!
Two gravity-collapse projectiles were fired from the barrel.
A gravity field with a radius of thirty meters and ten times the normal gravity instantly formed in mid-air.
Just as Baal was preparing to condense his second spear, the surrounding air suddenly tightened.
His massive body plummeted uncontrollably downwards.
"You think you can trap me with mere gravity magic!"
Baal roared, and the dark golden magic runes all over his body burst out with a dazzling red light, forcefully resisting ten times the gravity and stopping in mid-air thirty meters above the ground.
"Marlowe, get close to his face," Jiang Ming ordered.
"Hold on tight, boss!" Marlowe floored the engine.
A violent shockwave erupted from beneath the 20-meter-tall heavy mech.
Its massive body rose directly from the ground, defying the gravitational field as it hurtled towards Baal in mid-air.
The Thunderstorm Chainsaw lightsaber on the mech's right arm spun wildly, with purple-blue plasma leaping wildly across its blade.
Baal watched the charging steel giant and raised his hand to unleash more than a dozen black abyssal wind blades.
The wind blade struck the mech's outer shell, sending up a series of sparks, but leaving not even a scratch.
"You're like a turtle shell..."
Before Baal could finish speaking, the mech was already in front of his face.
Jiang Ming pushed the right joystick hard.
The Thunderstorm Chainsaw lightsaber, accompanied by a piercing hum, slashed down at Baal's head.
Baal raised his arms, his thick, demonic forearms covered in thick black scales, attempting to withstand the sword strike.
Sizzle—!
The armor-piercing properties of the Deep Sea Gold instantly tore through Baal's scales.
A violent chain of thunderstorms surged wildly into his body through the wound.
"ah--!"
Baal let out a scream.
His once-proud Cataclysmic Demonic Body actually spurted out large amounts of dark purple demonic blood under the cutting of the chainsaw lightsaber.
Jiang Ming gave him no chance to catch his breath.
The mech's left hand reached out and grabbed Baal by the neck.
"Marlowe, smash it down!"
The thrusters on the back of the mech unleashed their full power.
Carrying Baal's massive body, the mech crashed to the ground like a meteorite from mid-air.
Boom!!!
The ice-rock plateau was blasted into a giant crater with a diameter of over a hundred meters.
Pebbles flew everywhere.
Baal was pinned to the bottom of the pit by the mech, and countless bones in his back were broken.
"You ant! You're asking for death!"
Baal went completely berserk.
A blinding blood-red light shone from the corners of his eyes.
An extremely dangerous energy fluctuation was rapidly compressing within his body.
"Ming-ge! The radar shows that the target's energy level is too high. He's about to unleash a full-screen ultimate attack!" Chen Qi shouted.
"Want to explode with energy?"
Jiang Ming sneered, his fingers flying across the control panel.
"Chassis source material whiskers, full power output, drain it dry!"
The golden tentacles wrapped around the mecha's legs suddenly grew larger.
Dozens of thick tentacles, like steel spears, pierced Baal's limbs and torso.
[Astral Soul - Fire Seed Matrix: Source Power Assimilation Activated!]
The destructive energy that had just gathered within Baal's body surged wildly back into the mech's energy core through his tentacles.
"What...what the hell is this thing! It's devouring my very essence!"
Barr finally panicked.
He struggled desperately, trying to tear off the golden tentacles.
But the mech's left hand was firmly gripping his neck, and no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail.
"Aren't you the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Legion? Didn't you want to extract my soul?"
Jiang Ming piloted the mech, his right-hand chainsaw lightsaber plunging directly into Baal's chest cavity.
"Keep going crazy."
Thunderstorm plasma raged in Baal's chest.
Baal's health points began to plummet.
He felt a real threat of death.
"Stop! Stop now!"
Baal's voice was filled with fear, "I can make a pact with you! I can exchange the Seventh Legion's treasury for..."
"Kill you, and everything will still be mine."
Without wasting any words, Jiang Ming pressed the main gun charging button.
The armor on the mech's chest slid open to the sides.
The barrel of the [Ten Thousand Eyes - Starfall Annihilation Cannon] extended and pressed directly against Baal's forehead.
Dark purple annihilation energy gathered wildly at the cannon muzzle.
As Barr looked at the cannon barrel so close at hand, his blood ran cold.
"No--!!!"
boom--!!!
The annihilation main cannon, fired at point-blank range, suddenly erupted.
A dark purple beam of light pierced through Baal's head in an instant, creating a bottomless tunnel along with the rock beneath him.
Baal's roar came to an abrupt halt.
The massive headless corpse twitched twice, then fell completely still.
[Defeat Baal, the Grand Commander of the Seventh Legion of the Abyss and Lord of Destruction (Lv.62, Cataclysmic Level)!]
[Experience Points Gained: 3000000!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your level has increased to Lv.36!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your level has increased to Lv.37!]
……
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your level has increased to Lv.40!]
The massive amount of experience points allowed Jiang Ming to level up five times in a row.
He forcefully blasted through the level 40 barrier with his mech.
Jiang Ming opened the attribute panel and added all 25 newly acquired free attribute points to Strength.
【Strength: 117】
With his strength attribute exceeding 100, Jiang Ming felt as if he could punch a hole in the sky with a single punch.
"We're rich! We're rich!"
Chen Qi drooled as he looked at the loot notifications popping up on the big screen.
Above Baal's headless corpse floated three orbs of light emitting golden glow.
They're all legendary!
Jiang Ming manipulated the mecha to extend its tentacles, pulling all the light orbs back into the main control room.
[Obtained: The Abyssal Heart of the Lord of Destruction (Gold, Legendary).]
[Obtained: High-Tier Dimensional Portal Blueprint (Incomplete) *1.]
[Obtained: Seventh Legion Treasury Key (Gold - Special Item).]
Finally, I've entered the world of the drama, "Survival Through Time at School: I Can Synthesize Everything!" Click to read now!
Jiang Ming looked at the three items in his hand, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a crazy smile.
That old bastard Bal is a real money-grubber.
The energy contained in that demonic heart was even more terrifying than the source core of the previous Thousand-Eyed Flesh Mountain.
That incomplete blueprint was the last piece Jiang Ming needed.
"System, synthesize the blueprint."
Jiang Ming took out the other two fragments from his storage ring and placed them together with the one that had just been discovered.
[In synthesis...]
Synthesis successful!
[Obtained: High-Tier Dimensional Portal Blueprint (Complete Version)]
[Note: This can be used to construct a permanent two-way dimensional portal by consuming high-level energy crystals and abyssal materials.]
Jiang Ming put the blueprints away.
With this thing, he can go to the Abyss to buy goods whenever he wants.
The last golden key was an unexpected delight.
[Seventh Legion Treasury Key: Opens the Legion Treasury in the seventh layer of the Abyss, containing the endless wealth plundered by Baal over thousands of years.]
"Boss, we've made a killing this time!"
Marlowe stared at the key, rubbing his hands together. "When are we going to raid the Abyss and take over his base?"
"No rush."
Jiang Ming threw the key into the storage ring.
"The Abyss is a very deep place. There must be an even bigger boss above Baal. Let's take down their lair after the chariot is upgraded two more times."
Jiang Ming patted the control panel.
"First, deactivate your mech mode and call those ten laborers back outside. The ruins of this Winter Capital haven't been completely looted yet."
The heavy mech emitted a mechanical transformation sound, turning back into a fifteen-meter-long steel battle vehicle.
Ten Abyss Executioners ran over from the distant ruins and obediently squatted down beside the chariot.
"Marlowe, drive to the south of the city. Chen Qi, operate the radar. Don't miss anything that's emitting light, not even a brick."
The chariot rolled over Baal's corpse and headed towards the southern district of the Winter Capital.
After half an hour.
The chariot stopped in front of a collapsed magic tower.
Ten executioners were bent over, frantically digging through the rubble.
They dug out high-level magic cores and rare metals, which were then neatly stacked next to the chariot tracks.
Jiang Ming sat on the roof of the car, holding the [Destroyer Lord's Abyss Demon Heart] in his hand, calculating how to maximize its benefits.
Just then, the tank's radar suddenly emitted a beeping warning sound.
On the screen, a dozen green dots are rapidly approaching from the periphery of the basin.
"Boss, something's up."
Marlowe immediately pulled the bolt, "They look like people from the Lion Kingdom."
Jiang Ming suppressed his demonic thoughts, stood up, and looked into the distance.
A group of heavily armed knights from the Azure Lion Kingdom were galloping through the ruins on wildebeest.
Leading the group was Gareth, the commander of the Azure Lion Knights.
Gareth was utterly shocked.
He received a report from the scouts at the front that the black fog over the capital of Winter City had dissipated.
He immediately led a team of elite soldiers to check the situation.
As soon as he entered the basin, he was completely dumbfounded.
The tens of thousands of abyssal monsters that used to inhabit this place have vanished without a trace.
The ground was littered with charred pieces of flesh struck by lightning and crushed remains flattened by gravity.
What terrified him most was the giant crater, which was two hundred meters in diameter.
The area around the giant crater still retains an extremely terrifying aura of spatial collapse.
"Commander! Look over there!"
A knight pointed to the ruins of the magic tower ahead, his voice trembling.
Gareth looked in the direction the knight was pointing.
That familiar steel armored vehicle was parked in front of the ruins.
Beside the chariot, ten Abyss Executioners, each eight meters tall, were... moving bricks?
Gareth rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Those abyssal monsters, capable of tearing apart high-ranking knights, were now like the most lowly slaves, respectfully handing over the excavated magic cores to the man atop the chariot.
He knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and performed the most solemn knightly salute.
"Respected powerful being from another world, you...you've completely wiped out all the abyssal monsters here?"
Jiang Ming jumped off the chariot and waved his hand.
"It's nothing. You've come at the right time. I've already scavenged most of this ruin. The remaining scrap metal is yours."
Gareth was so excited he was trembling.
After the Winter Empire was corrupted by the Abyss, it has always been a major threat to the Azure Lion Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, this man leveled the entire Winter Kingdom in less than half a day.
"The Kingdom of the Lions will never forget your kindness!" Gareth exclaimed.
Jiang Ming ignored his pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"I've helped you solve such a huge problem; shouldn't your king pay the reward he promised me?"
Gareth nodded repeatedly.
"Of course! His Majesty the King has decreed that all the rare ores and high-level magic cores in the Azure Lion Kingdom's treasury belong to you. Moreover..."
Gareth paused, then lowered his voice.
"While we were clearing the underground of Lionheart City, we discovered an ancient teleportation array. The energy fluctuations emanating from it are very similar to the metal core you were looking for earlier."
Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed.
"A teleportation array?"
"Yes. That teleportation array leads to an unknown space, and our court mages cannot decipher the runes on it." Gareth respectfully handed over a piece of parchment with runes imprinted on it.
Jiang Ming took the parchment.
The system in my mind immediately gave me a prompt.
[The unique spatial coordinates of a high-dimensional mechanical construct have been detected.]
These coordinates point to: Astral Hangar (Damaged).
Jiang Ming stared at the runes on the parchment, his heart skipping a beat.
Astral Hangar.
Just by hearing the name, you can tell it's from the same system as the Fireseed Matrix.
Even a broken spark source can enable the vehicle to transform into a mecha. If it finds a hangar, wouldn't it be able to take off immediately?
"Marlowe, gather up the materials on the ground. Let's go back to Lionheart."
Jiang Ming stuffed the parchment into his storage ring, then turned and jumped onto the chariot.
The ten Abyss Executioners very conscientiously threw the last few magic cores into the chariot's recycling pipe, and then obediently lined up in a row behind the chariot.
Gareth swallowed hard as he looked at the overly obedient abyssal monsters.
"Your Excellency... these monsters..."
"My employees, don't worry about them." Jiang Ming sat in the command center. "Lead the way."
The chariots roared as they followed the Lionheart Knights toward Lionheart City.
A few hours later.
The heavily armored fortress stopped in the underground plaza of the Lion King's Palace.
This area has been placed under strict control by the Royal Guard.
In the center of the square, a circular stone platform with a diameter of ten meters stands quietly.
The surface of the stone platform was engraved with extremely complex silver patterns, emitting faint energy fluctuations.
Jiang Ming stepped off the chariot and circled the stone platform.
"System, can this thing be activated?"
[Astral hangar teleportation array detected.]
[Currently lacking the energy to start up.]
[Requires one legendary energy core or ten epic energy cores to activate.]
