Chapter 169: Chapter 123: Combined Mode, I’ll Form the Body!_1
Since the Wind God Freak had been attracted, it showed that the giant stone altar was functioning normally.
In this situation, Jiang Chen held aloft the giant stone altar and circled the planet several times.
The sacrificial offerings were almost burnt out, yet the “mother” mentioned by the supreme deity monster had still not been lured out.
The answer was becoming quite apparent:
Either, the mother of the alien trio had already died in the distant past,
or, their mother was not inside this planet but somewhere beyond it.
That’s why she couldn’t sense the presence of her three sons.
Jiang Chen directed his gaze toward the boundless starry sky.
Among the Sea Deity, Supreme Deity, and Wind God trio, the Sea Deity was undoubtedly the strongest monster.
When it activated Return to Primal State, its base attributes could even break through one hundred thousand, and at the peak of its power surge, it could unleash a force of two hundred thousand!
Following the trend that the older they are, the stronger they become.
Their mother’s attributes, in a non-Return to Primal State, would inevitably exceed one hundred thousand, and might even reach two hundred thousand—
That would be the true 4th Rank intensity!
A 4th Rank intensity monster, if possessing some sort of special ability,
like Jiang Chen’s formidable regenerative ability, could easily survive in a vacuum with just its physical strength.
And thus could leave the planet and enter space, ascending to a Starry Sky creature.
However, a 4th Rank intensity creature is, within the Starry Sky creatures, among the weakest.
If they lacked special abilities like spatial traversal, even leaving the star system would take an incredibly long time.
Any minor issue could render them incapable of resisting, leading directly to death.
From this perspective, if the mother of the three gods wasn’t on the planet, she definitely wouldn’t have gone far.
It’s highly possible that she’s on a nearby planet.
Or perhaps…
Jiang Chen held the giant stone altar, looking toward the satellite that was slowly rising from the other side as it revolved around the planet.
The translation device converted what the Earth Cataclysm civilization called it into a name Jiang Chen was most familiar with.
[The Moon]
This was the celestial body closest to the planet and the easiest to reach.
If the mother of the three gods wasn’t on the planet,
then there was at least a sixty percent chance she was residing on this celestial body!
Considering the distance between this celestial body and the planet, along with the possibility that the mother of the three gods might have been in a deeper, longer slumber,
it would make sense that sensing the aura of the altar and awakening took longer, and thus her journey here was slower.
However, even if her reaction speed was slow,
Jiang Chen had activated the altar a while ago.
If the mother of the three gods was on the Moon, she should be about to return by now…
Thinking of this,
Jiang Chen looked in the direction of the Moon, using his own powerful vision to try and discern objects in the vast starry sky.
To make observation easier, he also activated High-Energy Perception.
Without any obstructions, High-Energy Perception, coupled with super vision, could observe even further into the distance.
After a second or two of careful observation,
he finally saw a “tiny” figure.
Tiny only because it was compared to the massive celestial body of the Moon.
The fact that it could be seen by Jiang Chen’s naked eye in the vast universe was enough to prove its imposing stature—
Its body was covered in feathers like the Wind God Freak’s, with each feather taller than human skyscrapers.
It had a lizard-like head and whiskers like a catfish, resembling a giant dragon cruising through the starry sky, its body stretching out like a great wall, with no end in sight.
Its life force shone brightly like the sun.
It was stronger than the combined might of the Sea Deity, Supreme Deity, and Wind God trio!
With just a glance, Jiang Chen identified its identity.
The mother of gods, the oldest of beings, a Starry Sky monster!
“Finally hooked a big one!”
Having determined its location, the altar had lost its effect.
Jiang Chen stopped infusing Inner Strength, took a slight step back, and with a punch enveloped in flames, smashed the altar to pieces on the spot.
The altar, carved from nearly half a mountaintop, was completely destroyed by the immense force and was wrapped in flames.
As the fragments fell through the atmospheric layers, they burned up completely, turning into atmospheric dust.
Having dealt with the “meteorite” hazard,
both the steam mecha and the primeval mecha flew over.
The former automatically opened its shell, enclosing Jiang Chen inside, successfully restricting his strongest combat power.
The latter transformed into the form of the resplendent girl and perched on the shoulder of the steam mecha, hugging the mecha’s head, ready to drive—
This was a critical moment in confronting the mother of the three gods.
How could the mechas not be involved?
Jiang Chen’s thoughts flowed.
[Zero, Yun, prepare for the fight!]
Boom!
With the Bio-organic Force Field unleashed without restraint, a shockwave blasted through the atmosphere.
In mere seconds, the steam mecha breached the incredibly thin outer-atmosphere and sped off into cosmic space.
“The presence of my children… has vanished?”
The ancient creature, with a mythically long dragon-like body but covered in a multitude of feathers, had awoken because it sensed a familiar presence.
But, as it was flying toward the source from the planet,
the presence of its children suddenly cut off, almost completely disappearing.
This puzzled it greatly.
The power of its bloodline could grow and strengthen itself by drawing energy from the planet’s nature, enhancing its own power.
Furthermore, by absorbing a large amount of natural energy in a short time, it could convert it into Primal Force, demonstrating an even stronger form.
Which is [Return to Primal State].
Every time they fell into a prolonged slumber, this was the method they used to digest power.
And precisely for this reason, it loathed those pests so dearly.
After they grew up, they would alter the natural environment, affecting growth efficiency.
Even, if they grew to a certain extent, these ants would master related powers and vie with Them for the forces of nature.
Wasn’t that like snatching food from the jaws of a tiger?
Therefore, He told His children that every once in a while, they had to clean up the ants.
However, to clean up the ants, one child was enough.
Why did all three children wake up and emit auras?
Why did all of Their auras disappear completely?
What on earth happened?
He flew even closer, His enormous dragon eyes, like stars, carrying confusion as they gazed at the planet from afar.
The mighty vision that came with joining the ranks of Starry Sky creatures allowed Him to peer through vast distances and see the scenery on the planet’s surface.
Just then, the planet rotated to a certain angle.
He saw the collapsed mountains, where only fragmented parts remained of the supreme deity corpse, which was currently being mined.
He saw the Sea Deity corpse that had beached and lost its head and fins, leaving only a large flesh ball.
He saw near the Sea Deity corpse, a Wind God Freak with all three heads gone and half of its body drifting in the ocean.
At that moment, His gaze solidified.
Enigmatic power, wrapped in extreme anger, began to drift in the vacuum of space.
In just a short moment, the majority of humanity on the planet felt His raging fury.
“My children!!”
This scene was plain to see.
These damned ants had cruelly slain His young children.
At this moment, He wished He could immediately fuel His anger and set the entire planet ablaze!
“I’m going to make you all…”
His waves of anger had just begun to spread.
A communication fluctuation unique to ancient creatures came from nearby, dispersing His waves.
“Your children?”
“Excuse me for asking, do You reproduce asexually, or sexually?”
“If it’s sexual reproduction, may I inquire about Your spouse? Have they gone out of town to work, and if so, is the work going well? Do they have any plans to return home for a visit?”
The winged dragon monster, having sensed this complex communication fluctuation, even had its anger momentarily stalled.
Multiple neatly arranged, giant eyes immediately opened on the side of the dragon head and scanned through the vacuum swiftly.
With His mental power at work, He finally pinpointed the source of the fluctuation.
A metal ant so tiny that it could easily be overlooked if not paying close attention.
This metal ant was still spreading the communication fluctuation of the ancient creatures through some method.
“Please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“I’m quite kind-hearted; I was worried you’d feel lonely on the road with your children, so I thought it’d be nice for your family to be all together.”
“You damned ant!!”
Although there were some words the winged dragon monster didn’t understand,
He could feel the full malice from the metal ant and the hidden meaning in his words—
He was the one who had killed His children!
Enraged, the winged dragon monster lowered its head and opened its mouth. A starbright light gathered in its maw.
In a mere instant, it transformed into a surging beam of supernatural death light, bursting forth!
Just before the supernatural death light was unleashed, the little girl named Ash on the shoulder of the steam mecha moved slightly.
Her body grew larger and turned into the hardened primeval mecha, blocking in front of the steam mecha.
Boulder Form.
455,000 defense!
When the supernatural death light had completely dissipated.
Neither the primeval mecha nor the steam mecha that was fully shielded by it had suffered much damage.
[Is that it? Not even a scratch…weaklings~]
Hmm…
If Zero could maintain this stance, she could indeed mock the winged dragon monster severely.
Unfortunately, her capacity was what it was; she couldn’t sustain it for long.
Moreover, in Boulder Form, her offensive capabilities were reduced to her mouth alone.
To give the mechas some sense of participation and also to test the strength of the winged dragon monster,
Jiang Chen initiated a double Mecha Soul Fusion while also sending a thought.
“Zero, Yun, Combiner Combat Method.”
[Acknowledged, I’ll form the body!]
Under Jiang Chen’s control, the steam mecha immediately initiated Energy Overload and Limitation Unlock.
With steam spewing out forcefully, most of its armor plating automatically ejected from the mecha’s surface, changing into the highest attribute and also most delicate explosive mode.
During this process.
The primeval mecha in front of the steam mecha also briefly ceased the Boulder Form.
It merged its legs, lifted its arms over its head, and brought its hands together.
Then, it reactivated Boulder Form, entering once more into the hardest defensive mode.
Additionally, its upper body sprouted a myriad of thorny spikes, looking quite formidable.
The steam mecha that completed the mode transformation gripped its legs.
[Zero will form the weapon!]
Fusion complete!
This was the strongest stance of Zero and Yun at their current stage!
Through this form, the steam mecha moved quickly, pouncing toward the winged dragon monster.
Even if it faced a second spray of supernatural death light, it wielded the “Zero Fang Polearm” in front of it, blocking the approaching beams of light.
Like a valiant, fearless steel knight, it charged at the sprawling starry dragon that stretched unknowably far into space!
“Huh?”
Witnessing this scene, the winged dragon monster fell silent for a moment.
“My children… were killed by something like this?”
