After listening, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the pink little octopus.

Only Abyss overlords who possess some top-level trait can manifest that trait as a [Mecha Talent] after becoming a mecha.

He hadn’t expected this Sea Abyss Ancient God to have such a high talent in terms of mutation.

No wonder the mere mysterious aura that leaked while it slumbered created the entire distorted sea abyss.

As for the Epic quality, that was just normal performance.

Abyss overlords contracted by mecha pilots inherently have effects similar to supercharging, resulting in a mecha downgraded by one rank.

Even if sealed into a fledgling form by the mecha pilot’s strength and starting from Zero, escalating in rank, they can neither be equipped with modules nor evolve or upgrade.

Instead, power is gradually unsealed and restored until the pinnacle is reached.

Then, just like an ordinary mecha, they can be equipped with modules and undergo evolution and upgrade.

The Sea Abyss Ancient God itself is a peak-level 5th Rank overlord, so downgrading one rank makes it 4th Rank.

A 4th Rank Mecha, having already completed the upgrades from Zero to 1st Rank and 3rd to 4th Rank, possessing Epic quality isn’t an exaggeration.

The mecha’s first two upgrades provide the greatest improvement.

If the foundation is strong enough, each upgrade can improve the quality by two tiers.

Zero, Yun, and Yuu, being initially excellent mechas, could similarly become Epic mechas after two upgrades.

If they also acquire enough [Latent Ability Upgrade] items to improve their initial quality to excellence,

they might even become Mythical mechas at the 4th Rank!

“No matter how you look at it, a supercharged mecha with inherent talent is enough to elevate your innate abilities to a higher realm,”

“You will surely become an outstanding person of hope, leading the legacy of civilization on…”

Jiang Chen was not stingy with his praise.

Laila quickly picked up on the hidden message in his words.

“Master, are you leaving?”

“Yes, I’ve done what I came to do. The rest is ultimately up to you all,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

He had already delivered the prepared pack of knowledge about Abyss, mecha pilots, and related matters to Laila when explaining earlier.

If he continued to stay, at most, it would be to enjoy a banquet or something…

He was busy consolidating his knowledge, sparing time to pass on the torch and check the development here as a halftime break.

Who has time to enjoy banquets?

Master Luo is waiting at the martial hall!

Laila seemed a bit disheartened but soon rallied, lifting her head with hopeful eyes gazing up at the towering figure.

“Master, will you come back again?”

Jiang Chen could feel Laila’s emotions with his powerful psychic force.

Dependency, adoration, admiration.

It was like revering a towering deity and worshiping a father without a hint of irrelevant elements.

Clearly, after experiencing the fall of civilization and the loss of family, she had come to view him as a pillar of her spirit.

He smiled slightly, lifting his huge palm and gently resting it atop Laila’s head.

“Lead everyone forward.”

“Stride toward the Legendary Shadow, toward the depths of the Purgatory Abyss…”

“As long as you travel far enough, you will see me again.”

“Also, remember my true name—”

“Jiang Chen.”

As his voice faded, darkness swept in.

The light hid, the figure vanished, everything dissolved into darkness.

Only Laila’s eyes grew more resolved.

…

Jiang Chen’s journey to pass the torch to the Age-Old civilization took but a short time.

After returning to Planet Blue Star, he re-entered the consolidation within the Legendary Shadow.

Honing martial skills, augmenting attributes, producing resources.

The major civilizations of Purgatory level did not even notice his brief departure.

During his consolidation, Jiang Chen watched the epitome of martial prowess from the Purgatory Asura with increasing admiration.

Even the Sea Abyss Ancient God possessed a top-tier trait, gaining the [Mutated Aberration] Mecha Talent upon being contracted as a mecha.

What about Purgatory Asura?

As a high-level legendary overlord, a violent demon god steeped in martial arts,

it surely had an even more potent Mecha Talent!

Just the speculation of its potential talent attributes

had Jiang Chen full of anticipation.

“Master Luo, you smell so good.”

“…?”

The Purgatory Asura looked puzzled, and after a moment, came to a realization.

“You aren’t thinking of making a contract with me, are you?”

“Yes, I’ve thought about it,” Jiang Chen admitted with no intention of hiding his thoughts.

“Too bad you are an Age-Old Shadow and not the actual body, which doesn’t meet the requirements for a contract.”

“Speaking of which, Master Luo, what are your contract terms?”

“…”

Inquiring directly to the shadow to learn the intentions of the future body?

You sure do have ideas!

The Purgatory Asura gave him a strange look but couldn’t help grinning.

Jiang Chen’s frank, straightforward manner was more to its liking.

“Simple, defeat me,” it said.

“…Doesn’t being overpowered in attributes count?”

“Of course not,” the Purgatory Asura stated.

“According to human terms…”

“Would an adult using their own strength to overcome a weak child count as victory?”

Jiang Chen nodded.

Indeed, not all Abyss overlords fear death.

He could hardly imagine a legendary overlord like the Purgatory Asura bowing to brute strength like the Sea Abyss Ancient God would.

Even facing stronger foes, it would likely brandish its weapon without fear.

If it were Master Chao…

If the strength was enough, it might really agree to a contract.

But this was just a digression.

The Purgatory Asura is a Legendary Overlord of Infinite Purgatory.

Infinite Purgatory, in turn, is the greatest calamity of Purgatory level.

Even Divine Lords, Ancient Eon, and Bluegreen Deity from a level 8 civilization are unable to confront Infinite Purgatory alone; they need to collaborate and persevere.
