You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 86 Steel Empire Limit Break
These restrictions are outrageous.

Li Zhe was speechless for a moment, but he wasn't too discouraged.

The path I embarked on was inherently against the will of Heaven.

If the sky obscures my vision, then the sky must be the one in the wrong!

Li Zhe still held the same thought: something that's really that strange must be a ghost.

The only right thing to do is to smash the head of the person who's behind this mess!

The stars and the sea are the true destination a real man should pursue.

This weirdo dares to stop me?

Then I'll become a numerical monster! And fight it head-on!
Of course, to truly realize the ambition of reaching for the stars and the sea, in the end, we still need to rely on hard power...

Song Yuan seemed to sense an indomitable fighting spirit in Li Zhe's eyes.

A ripple of appreciation appeared in her calm, still eyes.

“You have a very strong will,” she said calmly. “Perhaps you really can forge a path... Good luck, newcomer to Universe 7.”

"Good luck to you too."

"Don't forget the collection of myths," Song Yuan reminded Li Zhe one last time before logging off.

Her projection transformed into twinkling starlight and disappeared into the empty trading hall.

Li Zhe bid farewell to Song Yuan and left the trading hall.

It's time to take action for greater combat power.

Venture into more abyssal realms and devour other types of monsters!

……

Li Zhe and Xing were teleported to the 0th floor of the Steel Empire.

The first place we need to go is the area previously analyzed and planned for – the "C-44 Waste Treatment Plant".

There dwells an elite-level monster with other strange domain characteristics, a mechanical giant crocodile.

"Commander, target area locked."

Xing's voice echoed in Li Zhe's mind.

At the same time, a detailed 3D map and the optimal route of attack are projected into his field of vision.

"The environment in this area is harsh, filled with large amounts of industrial waste and highly corrosive liquids, which can cause great damage to conventional mechs. However, with your current mech's resistance, you can completely ignore these environmental effects."

"very good."

Li Zhe piloted the platinum mecha, its wings suddenly unfolding behind him.

It transformed into a streak of light and flew at high speed toward the target area.

The scenery of the Steel Empire is always so oppressive.

Under the leaden sky, rows of rusty steel skyscrapers stand silently like giant tombstones.

A strange smell, a mixture of engine oil and metal, filled the air.

The wind blew through the abandoned streets, swirling up a few tattered newspapers with a rustling sound, like the whispers of the dead...

A dozen minutes later, Li Zhe arrived at the perimeter of the C-44 waste treatment plant.

Before he could even get close.

A strong, sour smell and the stench of rusting metal hit you immediately.

Looking around, this place is simply a hell built of steel and garbage.

A series of massive hills, made up of scrap metal, abandoned vehicles, and industrial waste, stretch endlessly.

It cast a menacing shadow in the dim light.

Between the hills are lakes of corrosive acid, churning with dark green bubbles and emitting highly toxic fumes.

The remains of some unknown monsters float on the lake.

The entire area was shrouded in a grayish-yellow toxic fumes.

Visibility was extremely low, resembling a scene from the aftermath of the apocalypse.

"This place must have had a nuclear leak."

Li Zhe mentally complained.

The detection module was activated, searching for traces of the mechanical giant crocodile.

"Commander, a strong energy reaction has been detected in the acid lake below. The target is rising rapidly."

The star alarm sounded just in time. "Whoosh—!!!"

Accompanied by a loud splash.

Several enormous creatures, each the size of a heavy tank, suddenly burst out of the acid lake.

Dark green acid cascaded down their bodies like a waterfall, hissing as it corroded the ground.

They were giant mechanical crocodiles made entirely of rusty alloy and exposed power lines.

On their enormous metal heads, pairs of scarlet electronic eyes flashed with a brutal light, locking onto Li Zhe in mid-air.

Its gaping maw, filled with sharp alloy teeth, opened wide, unleashing a deafening roar.

The sound waves even caused the surrounding garbage mountains to shed debris.

[Catalog Number: Mechanical Giant Crocodile (STCRO-36074E)]

【Type: Third Generation Abyss Apostle - Reptile - Mechanical Mutant - Elite】

【Combat strength: 3.8】

[Special Abilities: ① Environmental Camouflage: Skilled at using the surrounding environment for stealth and surprise attacks. ② Corrosive Acid: Able to spew highly corrosive, high-pressure acid from its mouth. ③ Death Roll: Spins its body at high speed, using its tail to deliver a wide-range, devastating sweep.]

[Note: A destructive green breath!]

"A combat power of 3.8 is indeed not weak."

Li Zhe looked calmly at the large creatures emerging from the acid.

If it were a few days ago, I might have fought it and enjoyed the thrill of battle.

but now……

Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

The mechanical crocodiles swung their thick tails violently, creating huge craters in the ground.

They opened their gaping maws, and streams of dark green, high-pressure acid, like fire hoses, shot towards Li Zhe in mid-air with a piercing whistling sound!

"Commander, take cover..."

Before Xing could finish her reminder, Li Zhe had already taken action.

"Netherworld Dragon Riders, Arm yourselves!"

A monstrous motorcycle, brimming with violent aesthetics, instantly disintegrates and deforms.

It transformed into an external armor set, perfectly fitting over his platinum mech.

His right arm transformed into the ferocious and domineering dragon head cannon muzzle!

"YJ-21, load!"

The modified YJ-21 can be brought into the Abyss Realm in conjunction with the transforming motorcycle.

Meanwhile, Disney still has plenty of "childhood trauma" to offer.

It was stuffed into the warhead as filler and quickly loaded into the launch chamber.

Goodbye, Crocodile Bro.

A cold smile curled at the corners of Li Zhe's lips.

Facing the oncoming corrosive acid, he pulled the trigger!
"boom--!!!!!"

The terrifying recoil caused his mecha to pause slightly in mid-air.

The missile, trailing a long plume of flame, charged head-on into the acid water cannon!

There is no suspense at all.

The missile easily tore through the acid and precisely pierced the gaping maw of one of the mechanical crocodiles!
The mechanical crocodile suddenly froze.

A hint of...confusion seemed to flash in its scarlet electronic eyes?
next second.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A muffled sound, as if an explosion from the depths of hell, suddenly erupted from its body!
There were no towering flames, no deafening roars.

There was only one ball...

Pure "mental pollution" energy, composed of countless distorted, wailing faces of cartoon dolls filled with pain and resentment, suddenly spread!

"Jie Jie Jie..."

"Hee hee hee……"

"Big brother, come play with us!"
