Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

"A relationship? Of course it's huge."

Black Life Quasi-God laughed:

"You have now most likely become a completely new member of the Divine Armor Saint Clan."

"Mastering the Divine Armor Transformation is equivalent to transferring the essence of the divine mech into your body."

"This is equivalent to enjoying the cleansing of your physical body by the origin of the universe."

"As long as the divine armor remains intact, the physical body endures, and lifespan is greatly increased. How can that not be considered great?"

"Even as the divine armor continues to be applied, your genes will continue to mutate, maintaining a subtle connection with the origin of the universe."

"Think about it, wouldn't your descendants also have a much longer lifespan if they were affected by this?"

"The reason why the Divine Armor Saint Clan firmly occupied the top position in the first era was precisely because they could obtain an extremely long lifespan."

"Your ability is truly enviable."

"By maintaining your divine armor for a long time, your lifespan can be increased by at least a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, and possibly more."

At this point, Black Life Quasi-God shook his head enviously.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi nodded slightly.

And sure enough, in that instant, he did feel his life force surge upwards.

Conservatively estimated, life expectancy has increased by at least several hundred years in this short period.

If they can hold on for a few more months, a lifespan of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years will likely be within their grasp.

However, the cost of transforming into divine armor is also quite high.

In just one moment, his Prison Suppression Divinity was depleted by 1%, and you should know that his total amount of divinity is already quite high.

This total amount is enough to power a divine mech for several months at full speed in space.

Unless you encounter a battle that requires extreme output, you don't need to worry about battery life.

It seems that we need to continue to enhance the divinity of the Prison Suppressor in order to maintain the divine armor for a longer period of time.

Or, if we have a higher understanding of space and time, it should be possible.

In Li Yi's current understanding, the essence of divine armor transformation is to manipulate the spacetime membrane within the divine mech that connects to the origin of the universe to compress the terrifying divine energy contained within the divine mech, thereby achieving a transformation of divine matter into energy.

The higher the control level, the easier it will be to transform into divine armor.

"Speaking of which, since every divine mech is connected to the origin of the universe, is it possible for divine mechs of different sequences to be superimposed and transformed into divine armor?"

Li Yi asked.

"Stacked Divine Armor Transformation?"

Black Fate Quasi-God was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this idea a bit outrageous?

"I don't think I've ever heard of anyone doing this before, since controlling just one is already quite difficult. But theoretically, it should be feasible."

Black Fate Quasi-God pondered:
"However, I don't know much about this either, since I've only heard about it secondhand. I live in the late First Age, a long time after the most brilliant era."

"Therefore, in my time, the conflict between the Divine Armor Saint Clan and other powerful beings had shifted and was no longer as significant; most of them had gone into hiding."

"It is said that a powerful figure discovered the weakness of the flesh beneath the armor of the Divine Armor Saint Clan and specially cultivated a special technique that can cause damage from a distance, and massacred a large number of the new generation of Divine Armor Saint Clan members."

"And the older generation of the Divine Armor Saint Clan has long since stopped interfering in affairs."

"Therefore, by the time I learned of it, the Divine Armor Saint Clan had already passed its most glorious period."

Li Yi nodded slightly. With the Black Fate Quasi-God as a living encyclopedia, he could indeed learn many secrets he had never known before.

Compared to Lin Jianlong, the resurrected one of the fifth era, Black Fate Quasi-God clearly knew more about the situation.

As for layered armor, Li Yi thought it should be feasible.

Putting everything else aside, the underlying principles aren't difficult; the main challenge lies in manipulating space and time.

And his progress in time manipulation is now naturally nothing to worry about.

The memory fragments that appeared in that instant of dimensional ascension—not to mention anything else—if I can digest even 10% of them, I'll probably be able to reach the level of stacked armor.

At that time, I will first upgrade the Heavenly King and Gaia mechs to S-rank, and then I will combine them into a divine armor.

Then one would essentially possess the cosmic origins of these three sequences, and the Prison Suppressor Divinity would inevitably undergo another massive transformation.

"Alright, let's not stay in this void rift. Let's go to the Palace of the Year God first. There are many opportunities and treasures there. You humans, regardless of anything else, have good comprehension. We can try our luck."

As he spoke, the figure of the Black Life Quasi-God transformed into a shooting star and swiftly flew towards the depths of the void rift.

The seven demigods in armor behind him quickly followed.

Li Yi and his companions followed behind.

Apart from Li Yi, who was in divine armor and was less than two meters tall at the moment, the other divine mechs were quite conspicuous in this void rift, with divine flames surging like a tide and their colors changing in an extremely cool way.

During the flight, Tan Yaozu transmitted his voice and asked:
"Li Yi, can you maintain this so-called Divine Armor Transformation indefinitely? It looks quite cool, and your aura has become much stronger. Tell me, just how much has this Divine Armor Transformation actually enhanced you?"

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said:
"Why don't you try it later? I feel like I could easily punch through your Coordination Mech in my Divine Armor state. Why don't you come and verify this with me, Brother Tan, and see if my idea is true?"

Tan Yaozu immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said:

"Your physical body is almost comparable to a demigod's, right? Even without divine armor, you could probably break through the defenses of my mech that hasn't even been upgraded to S-rank yet. Aren't you being a little too respectful to me by sparring with me?"

Li Yi said regretfully:
"The main thing isn't that you, Brother Tan, want to know how much I've improved, right? To be honest, I'm not sure either. We need to test it to know the specific effect."

"Okay, I was just being nosy."

Tan Yaozu said speechlessly:

"In short, you're stronger than before, that's quite obvious. Your current aura strength is at least seven or eight times stronger than when the Hades mech was in its giant form. With your aura being so much stronger, plus your mobility and the overpressure formed by the aggregation of power, your combat power should be at least ten times stronger, right?"

"Hiss, once you're in your divine armor form, you'll probably have a chance to sweep away most of the demigods."

"This is nothing; battery life alone is a problem."

Li Yi shook his head. Although Tan Yaozu's words made sense, in terms of pure short-term defense penetration, the Divine Armor Transformation was indeed the strongest.

If played properly, there's no need to worry about battery life, because the enemy's divine mech has already been easily destroyed.

As they spoke, a majestic triangular void island suddenly appeared in front of them.

The island was very large, roughly the same size as the enormous sunset they saw before entering the rift.

Flame observed for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:
"Could this be the sunset we just saw?"

"Strictly speaking, no."

Black Life Quasi-God said:
"You can simply understand it as the true form of the God of Year."

"And this Palace of the Year Gods ahead is where he stores his consciousness."

“Strictly speaking, this entire void rift is part of Lord Sui’s body.”

What the hell!

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. (End of Chapter)
