The survivors in the shelter had all once seen the figure of “Tian Qi.”
Now, seeing this mecha pilot again, their senses told a different story.
The body-fitting mecha adorned with mysterious patterns, the pale blue longsword made of light, the flames that never extinguished.
These were things the survivors had never heard of.
But they were the powerful forces controlled by the mecha pilot.
It also added a layer of mysterious aura to him—
Many survivors who had never seen Jiang Chen fight and only heard of him were now somewhat stunned.
Perhaps…
He truly was the knight sent by the gods, descended to Earth to build the “Ark” and drive away the end.
“Wuu”
As the survivors were carried away by their thoughts, a high-pitched wail sounded in the distance.
Given the limited conditions, monitoring equipment could only convey images and couldn’t broadcast sound.
Therefore, this high-pitched wailing wasn’t coming through the screens but reached the inside of the shelter via vents and other such places from the outside.
The sound was deafening, echoing in the ears of the survivors.
The survivors panicked, staring intently at the screen, wanting to know what was happening outside.
When they saw what was on the screen, fear surged in their hearts.
They saw that the starlight was almost completely blocked by dark shadows.
Through the monitoring equipment, they could only vaguely make out a huge creature over twenty meters tall, moving its long, spear-like segmented limbs, walking slowly from the coast.
It made high-pitched noises from time to time, resounding through the sky.
[Shallow Abyss Insect King]
[Attributes: Strength 32, Agility 11 (22), Defense 30, Enigmatism 8.]
[Traits: An arthropod lifeform warped by ancient gods, possessing great strength, swift speed, and formidable defense, it is the king of the Shallow Abyss.
It will call and attract the surrounding Shallow Abyss creatures, not to seek help, but to hunt for food.
Beware, after arriving on land, although its movement speed has decreased, its attack actions remain incredibly fast.]
[Weakness: If you must challenge it, ignore its hard shell and look for the vulnerable excretion orifices to attack its internal organs.]
[Assessment: An opponent not to be taken by force.]
Attracted by the high-pitched noises, in the ruins of a distant city, two more enormous creatures slowly wandered closer.
One was a floating, cloud-like soft-bodied creature.
The other was an anemone creature covered in tentacles and shells.
[Decaying Parent Body], [Mutated Anemone].
“Rewards are settled every three days, and tonight happens to be the third night.”
“Anyone could have guessed tonight wouldn’t be peaceful, but isn’t this a bit too much? Three bosses appearing at once?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but complain in his mind.
So many bosses appearing at the same time would be hard to handle even for an average genius mecha pilot.
However, the situation was not without solutions.
The creatures of the abyss were not united, and there existed competition and a food chain among them.
Just as the Decaying Parent Body would attack and parasitize Shallow Abyss Merfolk and giants, the three bosses also regarded each other with animosity and would attack each other.
A mecha pilot could simply retreat and watch the bosses fight among themselves, then reap the benefits like a fisherman.
“But in doing so, it would be difficult to ensure that the creatures of the abyss wouldn’t inadvertently destroy the shelter and snack on a couple of fresh survivors to settle their nerves.”
“Moreover, the voice of the Shallow Abyss Insect King is a form of mild psychic attack.”
“Letting it continue to cry out will cause the survivors’ mental state to steadily decline.”
“They’ll be more susceptible to panic, falling victim to ancient gods’ spiritual corruption, leading to irreversible mutation.”
Jiang Chen moved his body a bit.
After triggering his talents twice, his physical strength and agility had reached an astonishing 36 and 35 points, respectively.
After donning the mecha again, which provided enhancements, these stats rose to 43 and 42 points! Nêww 𝒄hapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(𝒆)l/bin(.)com
In addition to the enhanced Seed of Flames and the slight strength boost from the Uncontrollable Mutation.
Watching from the mountaintop as tigers fight?
Unnecessary.
He could completely rely on his individual strength to kill all three tigers.
Thereby dispelling the survivors’ fear in their hearts, converting it all into personal admiration for him.
This was his method of counteracting the erosion by the ancient gods.
“When facing despair, people always need an anchor for their soul,” he said.
“Therefore, let me be that pillar for you.”
Perhaps sensing the intense human presence, the three abyssal beasts converged towards the shelter.
Jiang Chen deliberately waited for them to enter the range of the monitors before finally making his move.
He did not demonstrate great speed, but stepped forward, walking towards the Shallow Abyss Insect King.
Wherever he walked, the fire lingered for a long time, seemingly forming a path of flame that illuminated the night sky.
As for the specific effect…
Don’t ask; being cool is all that matters.
After all, Jiang Chen’s stamina recovered quickly, and adding a bit of special effects would further steady people’s hearts.
Even so, he had prepared more than just the effect of the path of flames.
After practicing his control over transcendent abilities for two days, he could do much more.
For example—
When the purple and white warrior came before the Shallow Abyss Insect King, he actually rose on flames! (Feet ejecting fire, providing brief propulsion.)
Not only that, but as the roaring flames expanded, they transformed into the shape of a gallant horse.
It stepped on sparks in the air, carrying the knight towards the Insect King! (Practiced flame shaping for two days.)
At the same time, surging flames burst forth from the lightsaber handle, completely enveloping it, turning it into a ten-meter-long flame saber, and viciously slashing down. (Explosive enchantment with flames.)
The scene and special effects were cranked up to the maximum before the fight even started.
As for the actual power…
When the Shallow Abyss Insect King’s pincers swung like lightning,
Jiang Chen threw a punch with his left hand, directly clashing with the pincer, and with overpowering strength, he forcefully repelled it, causing numerous cracks.
The flame lightsaber in his right hand followed with a slash, cutting open the shell along the cracks and burning the flesh.
However, because the monitor footage wasn’t from a super high-definition high-speed camera, such clear images couldn’t be seen.
They could only see Tian Qi riding a fiery steed, wielding the flame lightsaber.
With just one strike, he severed the terrifying creature’s pincer!
As the huge pincer fell to the ground, they seemed to faintly hear the thud of impact, and the Shallow Abyss Insect King’s angry and pained cries.
Seeing these scenes,
the survivors were dazed.
Such a terrifying, powerful creature that made people feel helpless from the bottom of their hearts…
Turned out to be no match for the Knight of Tian Qi, who severed its strongest weapon with just one blow?!
While the survivors were dazed,
the gentleman in the tailcoat suddenly knelt on one knee, bowing while chanting,
“…And I saw him chasing the end, riding a steed of flames, his name is Destruction, also called Rebirth…”
The survivors were slightly stunned but quickly understood.
This was the description of “Tian Qi” when he made an entrance in the myth of the gods’ downfall in this world.
Although it was slightly adapted by the gentleman in the tailcoat, it fit the current scene even better—
The self-proclaimed Knight of Tian Qi, battling the monster representing the end.
Wasn’t this a scene straight out of the myth’s reenactment?
One by one, the survivors were moved, kneeling on one knee like the gentleman in the tailcoat, bowing and singing.
“…And I saw him chasing the end, riding a steed of flames, his name is Destruction, also called Rebirth…”
“…He wore a crown of slaughter and wielded the scepter of death, to conquer and conquer again…”
