MTL - You Agreed To Fight Mechas, But Your Body Exploded Into Stars?-Chapter 44 Whispers that pollute people's hearts

Chapter 44 The whispers that pollute people’s hearts

Jiang Chen communicated with Zero for a while through Laila's extraordinary ability, and deepened his relationship.

 Then, continue to exercise the extraordinary abilities of the Son of Fire.

 After testing, the secondary absorption of the Son of Flame module is almost equivalent to +1 enhancement, and its power has been greatly improved.

This speed of improvement almost shocked the gentleman in tuxedo.

If the flame Jiang Chen used yesterday was the son of flame...

So, today we can almost call him the father of fire.

 “Is this the power of the Knight of the Apocalypse?”

“In just one day, the growth has almost doubled.”

 “No, it’s not necessarily growth.”

“Since he can fight against the end, he must have power comparable to the gods!”

“Perhaps, when he first arrived, he was just not very adaptable to the real world and his strength was greatly reduced. Now he is recovering with the passage of time…”

 The tuxedo gentleman's heart was touched.

 In fact, Jiang Chen's performance in the past two days, although very powerful, still seemed a bit immature compared to the monsters in the abyss...

 It takes a lot of effort to deal with the corrupted monster, but how can we fight against the master of the tentacles that span the world?

 Subsequently, Jiang Chen asked him about how to develop extraordinary abilities.

Although he did not refuse, he was even more anxious and worried.

This mecha knight who calls himself Apocalypse does not seem to be as powerful as he says. Can he really fight against the end...

 Now, these worries are gone!

Son of yesterday’s fire, father of today’s fire…

 In a few days, won’t he be the ancestor of the flame?

 Just with this crazy growth of flame ability, it is enough to burn out all the monsters in the world and completely burn the end of the world!

Thinking of that scene, the gentleman in the tuxedo breathed a sigh of relief, and the despair in his heart gradually faded away.

 As my mood improved, the whispers echoing in my ears and the hallucinations that appeared in front of my eyes in the past two days quickly dimmed, and my state improved greatly.

 Perceiving all this, the tuxedo gentleman was even more delighted.

He thought for a moment and called Jiang Chen.

“Lord Tianqi, something happened in the shelter these two days. I think I should tell you...”

"Um?"

Jiang Chen stopped practicing.

 The gentleman in the tuxedo considered it.

“The night we entered the shelter, several students reported hearing vague sounds and seeing hallucinations.”

“At that time, we thought they were frightened by monsters, so we comforted them and let them have a good rest.”

“As a result, by last night, many people had similar situations.”

 “That’s when we realized that this might not be an accident…”

 You are not talking about this kind of thing until now?

Jiang Chen looked at the gentleman in the tuxedo and said suddenly.

 “This has happened to you?”

"Yes…"

The gentleman in the tuxedo nodded and defended himself.

 “This happened to me only last night.”

“Furthermore, after seeing how powerful you are, my situation has improved and I can no longer hear those voices.”

“I think it may be due to too much mental stress that this situation occurs...”

　　　…”

Good guy, you think you are infected with some virus, and you are afraid of being eliminated by me, so even if you hide it, you don’t want to tell it, right?

Jiang Chen was speechless.

However, after hearing the tuxedo gentleman's story, he already understood what happened.

【pollute】

Just like the descriptions of abyss monsters such as murlocs, giants, and corrupted bodies.

Since the Mysterious Value of the Ancient God of the Abyss is too high, it is like a radioactive object. Even if it is not intentional, it will infect the surroundings and distort the surrounding life.

 In the past when the ancient gods were sleeping, this kind of pollution was limited to the depths of the abyss.    When He emerges from his slumber, this pollution will spread throughout the planet.

However, the ancient gods have gradually fallen back to sleep, so this pollution is not so strong on land and will not directly distort living creatures.

 Only those who are in a poor mental state, or are in a state of exhaustion or despair are more likely to be contaminated and gradually deformed.

“Simply put...the SAN value is too low.”

“That’s right, even if there is enough food and medicine in the air-raid shelter, the environment is dark and cramped.”

“Having lost family members and friends, you can only hide in a shelter, imagining how scary the monsters outside are, and not knowing when the end will end. This will indeed greatly affect your mental state.”

 “Easily tainted by the Old Gods.”

 The problem must be solved.

But it’s impossible for Jiang Chen to find some entertainment activities for the survivors in the shelter—

Even if he was found, the survivors wouldn't be able to play with him.

 After thinking about it, he spoke.

"This is not a big deal, it's just a mental attack from some monsters."

“Furthermore, these monsters can only attack those who are in a poor mental state and are in a state of panic, and are not powerful in themselves.”

Jiang Chen first comforted the tuxedo gentleman and modified the content appropriately.

 The latter was indeed relieved.

 For extraordinary people, mental attacks are not incomprehensible. On the contrary, they are even more frightening when they have no idea what is happening.

Jiang Chen continued.

 “Secondly, there are ten days in the end.”

“In these ten days, the monsters from the abyss will cleanse the land, destroy the civilization on the earth, and return everything to chaos.”

“Accordingly, as long as you survive these ten days, you will usher in a new world.”

 The end will only last ten days?

 Two days have passed?

 The gentleman in the tuxedo looked surprised, and the last whispers and trances dissipated in his ears.

 For people at the end of the world, the most painful and despairing thing is not knowing what the future will be like.

 Some people may even have thoughts of self-destruction.

 But as long as you know the specific end time, you will have more hope and expectation in your heart, and you can persevere better.

"at last…"

“Today is the third day, and more powerful monsters will come out of the abyss.”

“I installed a video equipment outside the shelter so that people in the shelter can also see the scene of me defeating the monsters.”

 “In this case, it should not be so desperate.”

What way can be more inspiring than witnessing the terrifying abyss monsters being easily crushed and killed?

 The gentleman in the tuxedo nodded vigorously.

"I see!"

 …

Steam World has built a monitor-like device—

 In fact, the pilots of those steam mechas use similar devices to observe the outside world inside the mecha.

The tuxedoed gentleman and the professors directly dismantled a steam mecha, modified the equipment, and successfully built a large monitoring device.

 Multiple monitoring screens were installed in the shelter.

 After finishing all these things, it was already evening.

 The survivors did not feel sleepy at all.

 They gathered in front of the monitor and looked at the screen expectantly.

 Until the power is turned on, the screen lights up.

 A warrior holding a light blue lightsaber and wearing a purple and white mecha stood silently in the flames.
