Chapter 144 - 110: Now There’s a Lake There_1



Each precipitation increased his force agility attributes by 14,600.

That is to say, he now possessed a base strength of 124,200 and a base agility of 122,300.

How staggering was that number?

Even if placed on Planet Blue Star twenty years ago, Jiang Chen would have reached a state of true invincibility!

Though he couldn’t go as far as to catch a high-yield fusion weapon with his face…

But it should be noted that nuclear weapons are launched by missiles and lock onto their targets, not through direct face-to-face bombardment.

That is to say, as long as one had enough observation power, speed, and reaction…

That is, a high amount of agility attribute, combined with certain long-range attack capabilities.

It would be entirely possible to intercept nuclear weapons before detonation from afar, turning them into mere “duds.”

Even if nuclear weapons were detonated through timing or remote control,

Jiang Chen could quickly leave the central lethal zone, thus ensuring a safe escape.

Therefore, in a world like the Earth Cataclysm,

Jiang Chen could almost be regarded as a walking “calamity.”

As long as he let loose with enough time, he could evade all of humanity’s lethal weapons and achieve total extermination of terrestrial life!

It was precisely for this reason

That Senior Yano’s conduct on Planet Blue Star gained even more of Jiang Chen’s admiration.

As a high-rank mecha pilot far surpassing Planet Blue Star, possessing unstoppable power, he had no need to explain anything to the alliance, could have directly locked onto Jiang Chen’s position, and appeared face-to-face.

He didn’t even need to respect the choices of Planet Blue Star and could have directly forced a Fire Transmission.

He could have even gone to the extent of plundering en masse, a method both simple and effortless, yielding even higher returns.

But he didn’t do so.

Instead, he patiently explained the background to the wary Symbol of the Alliance, gradually dissolving their hostility, eventually forming an alliance.

And in doing so, he earned Jiang Chen’s respect.

“Despite having the power to act recklessly, he didn’t take pride in his strength; instead, he saw it as a tool for protecting others…”

“Whether it was Senior Yano or Boss Li Xiao, they both did the same.”

“What they possessed was a spirit of gold, far more precious than strength!”

“Only those who inherit this spirit are the true bearers of Fire Transmission!”

At this moment, Jiang Chen was just such a person.

He could have chosen to demonstrate his power, thereby gaining the attention of civilization to aid in finding the traces of the Abyss overlord.

Or he could have chosen to directly coerce the higher-ups, demanding they seek the traces of the Abyss overlord through threats.

He opted for the gentler former approach.

It was precisely his approach that caused the captain of the city stability forces to feel a sense of confusion and incomprehension.

If this golden-red steam mecha were a villain who killed civilians…

Yet when it appeared, it killed the suddenly appearing monsters; even when attacked by sniper rifles, it nonchalantly brushed it off, showing no intention of pursuit.

It didn’t even care about the departure of the “hostages.”

Instead, after speaking of imminent doomsday and calamity, it asked the warriors to attack the mecha, thereby proving its “invincibility.”

From any angle, it didn’t resemble a “villain.”

Yet previously, he had “killed” several citizens, allowing them to be devoured by dark rifts, disappearing without a trace.

Among them was even a young girl.

This was the reason the stability captain had ordered the attack.

But now, he was somewhat at a loss.

He looked at the mecha in the sky, standing still as if waiting for an attack, and a thought arose in his mind.

“Either this fellow is a madman who isn’t afraid of death…”

“Or…”

“There really exists such a thing as the Abyss and the Calamity?”

The bullets from the snipers earlier had already proven the ineffectiveness of firearms.

At this time, the stability captain dared not rashly launch another attack, but instead opened communication, detailed the situation to the higher-ups, and sought advice.

A few moments passed.

The communication sounded again, bringing a voice.

“…I’ve consulted with the higher-ups, and it’s not just your location; many places have reported these so-called monsters, and there’s a lot of unrest on the internet that’s been suppressed…”

“Also, the Seismological Research Institute’s data indicates that a minor earthquake occurred at every location where a monster appeared, which is very similar to what he said…”

“However, the talk of world-ending calamities and otherworldly invaders still seems too far-fetched…”

“If he claims to be invincible, then let him try…”

After communicating with the higher-ups, the stability captain cut the connection.

He looked towards the sky, turned on the loudspeaker, and shouted.

“Since you’ve requested it, three minutes from now, Ning Mountain Missile Base will lock onto your mecha!”

“It’s not too late to regret it now!”

However, the steam mecha didn’t respond.

Instead, it climbed higher into the sky, as if to prevent any damage from reaching the city below.

Seeing this, the stability captain found himself at a loss for words.

This mecha couldn’t possibly believe that by catching a few bullets, it could withstand missiles, could it?

Those were the nation’s most powerful weapons, with top speeds exceeding Mach 15, much faster than any bullet!

They needed only about thirty seconds to traverse three hundred kilometers and strike the designated target!

The firepower was beyond doubt.

Even if the mecha looked science-fictional, it was impossible for it to contend with such top-tier weaponry.

The stability captain had absolute confidence in this kind of weapon.

This was the strongest force of the new era!

Three minutes went by in the blink of an eye.

The stability captain looked in the direction of Ning Mountain, only to see in the distant sky a few tiny black dots trailing long plumes of flame.

In just a few seconds, they crossed the horizon’s expanse, hurtling towards the steam mecha in the sky!

Just when the people on the ground squinted slightly, expecting an explosion,

The steam mecha moved.

Accompanied by the blast fog, it actually met the missile at a speed faster than the missile itself, swinging a punch that struck the missile!

The expected explosion, however, halted abruptly at that moment.

Under the influence of some mysterious force, several missiles were completely frozen before detonation, and shattered with ease.

Turning into countless ice crystals that scattered in the air.

The stabilization team leader was dumbfounded.

The strongest weapon of his nation, a deterrent to other countries, capable of locking onto and obliterating any enemy—the Sky Punishment Missile…

Just like that… smashed by a single punch?

The steam mecha lingered in the air for a moment, seemingly disappointed as it floated down, standing over the shopping mall.

“Is that all, is this the extent of your civilization’s weaponry?”

The stabilization team leader was momentarily silent.

Modern warfare is inherently beyond-visual-range combat.

You’re just one mecha, and you think you can contend with what weapons?

Should we pull up a couple of tanks, or perhaps a battleship, and fly them up to confront you?

Fighter jets?

You smashed the missiles to bits, what fighter jet could possibly fly faster than a missile!

“Forget it, let me take over.”

The steam mecha sighed and then asked.

“Is there an uninhabited area nearby?”

As the stabilization team leader remained silent,

a young named Xiang Hui, previously rescued, shouted out loud.

“… To the east, there’s Mount Qing!”

The steam mecha heard Xiang Hui’s voice.

With a slight motion, accompanied by the shockwave from breaking the sound barrier, it flew off at a speed even faster than that of the Sky Punishment Missile!

You have to realize that the Sky Punishment Missile can cross three hundred kilometers in just over thirty seconds!

Mount Qing is only thirty to forty kilometers away from this city!

Just over ten seconds later.

The steam mecha returned once again.

The stabilization team leader and people like Xiang Hui were still wondering why it had suddenly turned back halfway when…

Boom!

A thunderous roar, accompanied by gales and dust, spread from the east of the city.

Countless citizens looked toward the east in astonishment, unaware of what had happened.

Only the steam mecha calmly stated.

“From now on, that place will be known as Lake Qing.”

What the hell is this thing?!!

Looking at the steam mecha, the stabilization team leader felt his legs weak and his eyes dizzy.

In just over ten seconds, to turn a small mountain dozens of kilometers away into a lake?

Compared with this, the Sky Punishment Missile is nothing but garbage.

No wonder he dares to call himself invincible!

In Xiang Hui’s eyes, a light was almost bursting forth.

This is what it means to be a mecha pilot!!

At that moment, the stabilization team leader’s communicator rang.

He quickly answered the call and after a moment, he let go of his weapon and spoke.

“Respected mecha pilot from another world, we will fully cooperate with your actions.”

Whether they truly believed it or not.

Once the steam mecha had demonstrated the terror of its invincible power it spoke of,

even the higher-ups, who might not believe in the Doomsday Calamity, wouldn’t dare confront this mysterious mecha with invincible power at this time.

The stabilization team leader paused, listening to the communication in his ear, and then said.

“If it is a Doomsday Calamity that the entire planet cannot avoid, I’m afraid the power of just our nation will hardly be of much assistance to you.”

“Do you need our help to contact other countries?”

“Of course.”

Inside the steam mecha, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile.

Having proven his strength, the communication had indeed become much simpler.

However, the civilization of the Earth Cataclysm world had not been unified.

Based on the word of one country alone, it would hardly be possible to quickly make other countries understand the severity of the issue.

Jiang Chen then spoke.

“Could you give me a map?”

In the world of Earth Cataclysm, there are more than thirty countries.

Among them, the strongest and most influential nations and powers amount to only three.

Jiang Chen had already secured the help of one of these major nations, and through connections, spent half an hour visiting the other two.

By employing the mysterious power of creation to create two new lakes, he quickly gained their enthusiastic cooperation.

They mobilized domestic resources, causing the seismological research institutes to operate at high capacity, monitoring seismic activity everywhere.

Meanwhile, geologists and archaeologists were also mobilized.

Attempting to use existing archaeological findings to determine where subterranean anomalies might exist—

If subterranean creatures were like the ancient deities of the Steam World, life forms that had existed on this planet long ago.

They might be able to find some clues through this approach.

This method of mobilizing an entire civilization for investigation was much more efficient than Jiang Chen scanning the terrain alone with High-Energy Vision, looking for anomalies!

Just an hour later, new information came through.

“Beneath the volcanoes along the coast of a certain country, there are rather strong seismic waves, likely to be gathering places for Abyss monsters!”

Jiang Chen, acting on reports from the seismological research institutes, was preemptively rushing to earthquake sites, clearing out monsters, rescuing affected civilians, and improving mission ratings.

Upon hearing the news, he immediately dealt with the enemies at hand and quickly flew towards the marked volcano.
