Virus King - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Mecha Blueprint! Thunder Element Plane: Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders!

TL: YYang

“Zzzz-laa!”

A crisp sound resonated, like the crackling of electromagnetic force. On the enormous iron fist, an electromagnetic arc suddenly erupted, with terrifying recoil steam gushing out, carrying unimaginable brute force!

However, this massive punch, which seemed capable of crushing an entire steel building, abruptly stopped the moment this force erupted.

Even the lightning arcs that burst from the fist dissipated into thin air.

BOOM!

Following the terrifying electromagnetic punch, a small figure stood beneath the iron fist, forcibly halting its trajectory!

In that instant, a crack formed on the iron fist.

The air itself seemed to ripple as the two fists collided, releasing a circular shockwave.

Time seemed to freeze in that moment.

In the next instant, Chen Bai took a small step back. His pitch-black iron fists, like massive hammers, rose again and smashed toward the already cracked steel fist!

BOOM!

Finally, the enormous warrior formed of a gigantic generator retreated once more under this punch.

Within its dual lamp-like eyes, an expression of shock and disbelief seemed to emerge, staring in terror at the scene before it.

It kept retreating, step by step.

And then, another punch landed!

Above Chen Bai’s head, a pair of demonic horns appeared. Around his iron fists, terrifying black flames coiled and danced!

With this final punch, accompanied by a deafening roar, sparks and arcs of lightning violently erupted.

This strike penetrated the mechanical warrior from its right fist, ripping through its entire steel body and smashing directly into its core!

With a thunderous explosion, the massive steel warrior fell lifeless, unable to unleash any of its other abilities before its demise.

Feeling the ground tremble and hearing the familiar notification sound in his ears, Chen Bai relaxed his slightly sore arms, which had become stiff from exertion. The black-encased iron fists disappeared, returning to their normal state.

The terrifying power boost vanished. This massive steel warrior—this enormous mechanical embodiment, a level 28 BOSS—was obliterated by Chen Bai with just three punches!

Ignoring the cosmic will notification about being the first to clear the dungeon, Chen Bai approached the colossal corpse. It was undoubtedly a major loot drop!

With the tenfold base drop rate enhancement, anything that wasn’t exceptionally rare was guaranteed to drop.

This time was no exception. What Chen Bai first spotted, aside from the numerous scattered Lightning Cores and similar energy cores, was a blueprint glowing faintly purple!

Blueprints for equipment, with their notoriously low drop rates, had appeared under such favorable drop rates—what couldn’t drop?

A smile crept across Chen Bai’s face as he picked up the blueprint and examined it carefully.

[Lightning Type-1 Combat Mecha—Blueprint]
[Special Armor—Full Body Type (A-Rank)]
[Crafting Requirements: Thunder Core (A-Rank or higher), 10 tons of steel, 10 catties of magnetic ironstone.]
[PS: This is every man’s dream! However, note that wearing it isn’t very convenient. Most importantly, other armor and equipment will not be usable or effective while equipped. Of course, its capabilities are well worth those drawbacks!]

Lightning Type-1 Combat Mecha?

A mecha?

Chen Bai’s eyebrows twitched. Honestly, he was quite interested in this thing. However, if equipping it meant his other gear would become ineffective, that was a significant trade-off.

After all, the Wings of Netherflame and Shepherd’s Horn were both S-Rank equipment. Sacrificing them for an A-Rank piece, not to mention potentially giving up some of his Darklight Virus abilities, would be a steep loss.

While this item was undoubtedly rare, its utility for him was clearly limited.

Moreover, the other materials could be ignored, but obtaining a Thunder Core, which was of the same tier as the Flame Core, would be a major challenge.

Where could he even find one?

That question was soon answered.

After collecting the dropped gear, items, and skill books, Chen Bai quickly discovered something very special!

It was a scroll—one glowing with crackling lightning!

[Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders Teleportation Scroll]
[Special Item—Consumable]
[Usable to enter the Thunder Element Plane, Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders, from the myriad planes of the heavens and realms. Within the Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders lie unimaginable quantities of thunder element energy, lightning element lifeforms, and even semi-divine Thunder Element Monarchs. Some say it also harbors the legendary Thunder God of ancient times. Naturally, rewards and risks often go hand in hand.]
[PS: Usable 10 times. Remaining uses: 10/10.]

Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders?!

Chen Bai blinked in surprise. If the Sea of Lava was the paradise for Flame Demons and fire elemental beings, then the Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders was the equivalent for thunder elementals.

When Satan had explained the powers of the Seven Deadly Sins, he mentioned that the power of Wrath was stored within the black lightning above Hell. According to Satan, Hell’s dark lightning was connected to the Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders.

Within the Pool, aside from the elemental lifeforms, the greatest threats were the primordial elemental forces themselves. These forces were not lifeforms, lacked intelligence, but possessed destructive powers that terrified even the cosmos.

The Sea of Lava was the gathering place for Flame Demons in the Abyss, but the true Fire Element Plane far surpassed it in danger for the same reason.

This was why Ragnaros had asked Chen Bai to collect rare fire seeds—to cultivate truly terrifying flames and further strengthen the Abyss’s 143rd Layer, his domain, the Sea of Lava. It was a step toward amplifying his own power.

The dark lightning of the Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders had been seized by Satan and brought to Hell, so much so that even True Gods avoided meddling with it.

And now, the mechanical warrior had dropped a teleportation scroll to this Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders?!

Chen Bai’s eyes gleamed slightly.
