Mecha pilots could challenge again and again, and try as many times as they liked.

Regardless of whether they cleared it or not, everything in the Age-Old Shadow would be reset, including the memories of monsters and bosses.

Each challenge was equivalent to a brand new world.

That’s why mecha pilots used the term “abyss carbon copy” to describe the world of the Age-Old Shadow.

After all, it was so similar to game copies.

If it weren’t for the fact that one could truly die, it would be purely a virtual reality game, a training illusion.

The bosses of Abyss difficulty level, however, broke this rule.

They remembered every challenger, every experience of being challenged.

This meant that it, or they, might not be just false illusions.

They might be truly existing beings!

“No wonder the Symbol of the Alliance said this is the true abyss…”

“At lower difficulty levels, we’re challenging the Age-Old Shadow constructed by the abyss.”

“Only at Abyss difficulty level do we enter the real world!”

Jiang Chen had speculated this earlier, but still felt a shock in his heart.

Because this matter involved too many questions.

First: Could the real world of the abyss be cleared an infinite number of times like at lower difficulty levels?

If the Abyss overlord died, would the abyss revive it?

If not, doesn’t that imply that Abyss difficulty level could be cleared only once?

What would happen after clearing it?

Second: In the real world of the abyss, even without mecha pilots challenging it, time must surely be passing constantly.

Take the Transcender for example.

They could draw power from a star and grow continuously.

This meant their attributes would also rise with time, growing without end.

If they never died, then they would keep growing forever.

What would happen if they continued to grow indefinitely?

Would the Star of Mutation ascend from “Abyss Level 1” to “Abyss Level 2”?

Third…

The Abyss overlord had memory.

This meant that as Jiang Chen learned of its abilities, it could also learn his abilities.

It would be difficult to grind it to death via “exploiting” or “gathering intelligence.”

“This is quite troublesome…”

Agility could improve Jiang Chen’s reaction speed and naturally affected his speed of thought as well.

Jiang Chen’s shock didn’t occupy too much real time.

At most it was just a few seconds.

But the Transcender was already growing impatient.

It seemed to have been lonely for far too long, had a strong desire to express itself, stood up, and while stepping towards Jiang Chen, it began to speak.

“Speaking of which, even though a lot of impurities have been mixed in…”

“This is my power, isn’t it?”

“I obviously haven’t seen you before, so where did you steal it from?”

“And…”

“Compared to the previous challengers, you are pitifully weak.”

“To possess my power and still be so weak is truly embarrassing.”

Being ridiculed by a boss.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh for a moment.

“Since you find it embarrassing, why not give me some more power to boost my strength?”

“Once I become stronger, won’t you gain face?”

Jiang Chen was joking, but a thought rose in his mind.

Since the Abyss overlord had memory and intelligence.

Could there be charismatically talented mecha pilots who could “conquer” a boss using special methods?

Would that count as clearing it?

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen was clearly not very charming.

Hearing his words, the Transcender split its mouth in a grin, laughing very ferociously.

“Interesting fellow.”

“But rather than bestowing power upon you…”

“Why not just devour you and let this petty thief disappear completely?”

Before the words were finished.

Countless roots erupted from beneath the platform, slithering like snakes, layer by layer covering the primeval mecha, forming a bulging green sphere.

The green sphere lasted only half a second, its surface quickly frosted over heavily with ice.

Coupled with a bit of flame, it burst open instantly into countless fluttering ice crystals.

The primeval mecha stood in place, its momentum climbing higher and higher.

Mecha Soul Fusion, activate!

“After all that talk, we still have to fight, don’t we?”

“Tsk, wait until I completely annihilate you, then naturally, you’ll know what happens after clearing the abyss.”

The Transcender then revealed a surprised and delighted expression.

“Excellent life energy, you now have surpassed all previous challengers!”

“Worthy of the power stolen from me!”

“But merely with this amount of power, you think you can annihilate me…”

“You’re still too young.”

The body of the Transcender began to swell and distort.

Vines intertwined behind its back into demonic, massive green wings; its hands transformed into fierce claws, and its body adjusted to the structure best suited for battle.

Attributes also underwent a tremendous change in this process.

“Let me accompany you in this little game.”

“Don’t run away too quickly like the others.”

With a flap of its wings, the Transcender whipped up a hurricane and violently pounced towards the primeval mecha!

With a thud!

The two giants collided fiercely.

Accompanied by the spreading airwaves, the surface of the purple-white giant showed extensive cracking traces as it flew out like a meteor.

The 2nd Stage primeval mecha’s attributes and those of the Hell difficulty level’s final boss were on the same plane.

Even if there was a difference in numbers, it was only a matter of different inclinations.

But at that moment, it faced a true Abyss overlord!

Strength, speed, defense…

Each attribute far surpassed its limits.

Even if Jiang Chen pushed the mecha’s performance to the extreme, he had no chance of resisting the Transcender’s tempestuous attack.

The surface of the mecha’s bio-armor shattered at a speed far exceeding its healing rate.

Even the thorn spikes were broken off by the Transcender with brute force.

When the Transcender’s right hand turned into numerous vine spears and pierced through the primeval mecha’s bio-armor,

it consequently smashed it into the towering giant tree.

In the end—

The primeval mecha shattered with a bang!

[Now it’s up to you, my lord…]

The voice of Zero gradually faded, sinking into slumber.

The surging mecha power flowed into Jiang Chen’s body.

The vine spikes that pierced the mecha quickly frosted over, turned into ice, and shattered, but under the influence of a special force field, they didn’t fall.

Instead, they encircled Jiang Chen, reflecting a bright ring of light.

Jiang Chen floated upward, a golden gem appearing on his forehead; his left hand ignited with intense flames, while his right was covered with frost and enveloped in a layer of ice crystals.

The Transcender saw this scene.

Feeling the surging life energy,

finally showed a hint of surprise in its expression and spoke excitedly.

“Is this your true form after shedding the false exterior?”

“So you too have evolved to transcend everything, becoming an ultimate being like me!”

“How beautiful—!”

Before its words ended,

Jiang Chen, stepping on blazing flames, accelerated instantly.

With a sonic boom, he arrived in front of it and threw a punch.

“False exterior?”

“How dare you insult my most important partner like that…”

“You’re seeking your own death!!”

[My lord…]

Zero, still in slumber, seemed to feel something and was filled with immense sweetness.
