Chapter 005: Initiating the Divine War System

Host reactivity: extremely high

Host potential value: Poor

The fuselage is severely damaged, appearing utterly disheveled and tragic. The bright red surface is marred by scattered white spots and black patches, and the areas where various weapons were once mounted have become mottled and worn. It is likely that this damage was sustained after the last encounter when the mech endured the ion energy pulse cannon.

After such contemplation, the autumn verses involuntarily startled her. Such a fierce blaze, in her previous life when she operated the blazing fire, she was already able to contend with the Tier 3 mechs of the Pandora Galaxy Alliance without falling behind. How could it be that she was not even at Tier 1?

Host body strength: 37

A mental strength score of 70 is not considered high, but it is still regarded as excellent talent. However, due to Qiu Ci's poor physical condition and the fact that she has never undergone training, both she and Shuangshuang fail to meet the passing mark

Host body agility: 42

The golden hall, apart from its grandeur and majesty, possesses no other remarkable features; it is even devoid of any furnishings such as tables and chairs, giving it an exceptionally empty appearance

Professor Leon's example fully illustrates the importance of mental strength for mecha operators. The better the mental strength, the higher the flexibility in operating the mecha; otherwise, it will be poorer. Just as some individuals are quick in their reactions and agile in their movements, while others are always a step behind, it is easy to imagine who would prevail in a confrontation between the two.

The author Professor Leon of the Encyclopedia of International Knowledge once stated: Mechas serve as a second body for humans, relying on human mental power to command actions and issue orders. For instance, every movement of a hand or foot is a command issued by the mind to the limbs, which then execute the action. If the mental power is insufficient, it is akin to a person in a vegetative state being unable to direct their own limbs to move

Regardless of the galaxy, mechas are classified into five tiers, from one to five. If Liuhuo is not even at the first tier yet possesses strength comparable to a third-tier mecha, then what kind of terrifying combat power would it have if it were to upgrade to the fifth tier

At this point, the first stone tablet was devoid of any text, and Qiu Ci couldn't help but feel quite disappointed. Although the divine battle system was incredibly mysterious, it was likely that the initial stage of the process would not provide her with the assistance she urgently needed

System process initiated: Beginner. In this initial stage, the host can access very limited resources. Please strive to advance to the next stage

Operating a mech is not something everyone can do; both exceptional mental strength and robust physical fitness are indispensable. If we divide human mental strength into a score of 100, a score of 60 is considered passing, which is the standard for being able to operate a mech

In the central hall, nine large stone tablets stand neatly, with ancient Chinese characters in various colors shimmering on their surfaces

Where is Liu Huo? Qiu Ci couldn't help but glance around in a haphazard manner. In the vast and grand hall, there was evidently no sign of Liu Huo's perfectly streamlined figure, nor could one find the fiery red hue that resembled flames.

At the top of the nine stone tablets, there are more or less small inscriptions beneath the main text. Qiu Ci walked back to the first stone tablet and began to examine it closely.

In the mind of Qiu Ci, a golden grand hall slowly emerges. On the magnificent and solemn plaque, two neatly carved square characters read: Divine Battle

Flowing Fire! The autumn words murmured softly, as fingers caressed the surface of the mech's foot. Initially, it was thought that Flowing Fire had been completely destroyed, yet it could still be seen once more. Although Flowing Fire no longer possessed its former majesty and vibrant brilliance, the excitement of its return had not diminished in the slightest

Autumn's words need not concern themselves with the attributes inscribed on this stone tablet, for they cannot be changed in the short term. She then looked at the stone tablet that bore the word 'strength,' which contained only four small characters: 'too weak to speak'

Even with developed mental strength, a robust physical constitution is still required to provide support. Physical fitness determines the level of mecha operation, as well as its precision and force. Professor Leon made another analogy: if your mind instructs your body to perform a backflip, it necessitates the cooperation of the body; otherwise, it would be impossible to execute the backflip or any more complex maneuvers.

The autumn words are filled with urgency in my heart, yet I do not know how to take down the flowing fire. At this moment, four faint characters reappear on the stone tablet: "Do you wish to receive?"

Is Liuhuo still around? Qiu Ci felt inexplicably excited by it. This fiery red mech was unearthed by her pirate captain father in a deserted planet in a past life. After gifting the mech to her, it accompanied her for more than ten years, and the two had long become inseparable comrades in battle. In Qiu Ci's heart, the relationship between Liuhuo and her felt akin to that of water and fish, embodying a deep, instinctive connection.

Mecha compatibility: 60%

The surface of the stone tablet rippled like water, and a fiery red mecha model slowly emerged from within, gradually enlarging as it descended gently before Qiuci. The mecha, over thirty meters tall, fell heavily onto the stone-paved ground, causing a tremor to resonate through the earth.

What does this mean? Qiu Ci was somewhat puzzled. She did not expect that the spiritual power of this body was quite good, reaching as high as 70, which can be considered relatively excellent

"Receive." Qiu Ci said with determination.

As Qiu Ci entered the hall and looked from left to right, he saw that the ancient Chinese characters at the top of the stone tablet were: stage process, stage task, resources, attributes, strength, technology, exchange, warehouse, and energy

After a thorough inspection, Qiu Ci finally felt relieved. Fortunately, the Liuhuo had suffered severe external damage, but its operating system was intact, and most importantly, its weapon systems were still complete, which made her feel fortunate. However, she soon furrowed her brows; since the Liuhuo was basically intact, how could one speak of severe damage? Was it possible that the Liuhuo itself was a defective product, its capabilities not yet restored to the level of a first-tier mecha?

Qiu Ci could not help but feel excited; she had always thought that the Flowing Fire was extraordinary and mysterious. She had no idea where the old man had unearthed it from some abandoned star, but it had turned out to be so astonishing, even accompanied by the enigmatic "Divine War" system. This sudden gift from the heavens had completely stunned the reborn interstellar female pirate.

This is a script known as Classical Chinese, which is one of the many languages in the Pandora galaxy and also one of the most widely used languages on the planet Nina. Although its predecessor has perished, Qiuci has fully received the memories of the other party and naturally recognizes this Classical Chinese

The God War System has been activated. It is that monotonous voice again. (Due to reincarnation, Liu Yan's role is exclusively represented by Qiu Ci, and there will be no further elaboration.)

Qiu Ci returned to the side of Liu Huo, looking up at the tall and imposing Liu Huo. She reached out and pressed a button on Liu Huo's foot, causing a door to open in the mech's foot. Qiu Ci walked inside, and as the door closed behind her, she was swiftly elevated, coming to a stop in the central cockpit.

As Qiuci continued to look at the next stone tablet, beneath the two large characters "Attributes" were several lines of smaller text

Upon reaching the second monument, the task inscription contained only one sentence: Repair the severely damaged mech "Liuhuo" to restore it to first-tier mech strength, progress 0 / 100 (Note: Devouring mechs can assist in the repair of Liuhuo)

Host's mental strength: 70

The autumn poem nearly choked on these four impolite characters. Although my physical condition is somewhat lacking, my mental strength is still at a score of 70. It is important to note that in any galaxy or among any race, a mental strength of 70 can be considered as outstanding talent. With this alone, one can hold a superior status, so how can it be said to be weak?

She looked back at the four stone tablets. Apart from the dark-colored inscriptions at the top, the surfaces of the tablets were completely dull and devoid of any markings, likely due to the system's activation process being only in its initial stage, or perhaps because her abilities were insufficient, resulting in them being in a locked state.

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he continued to gaze at the next stone tablet. There, he saw a small and exquisite crimson mech model embedded alone on the tablet, with a line of small text beside it: Damaged Mech "Flowing Fire"
