Planetary-level mechs had physical bodies.
For example, Number Three's Energy Core was a 9.39-cubic-meter Star Brilliance Stone. Its exterior consisted of a metal framework and metal plating, with high-energy ray weapons mounted at the ends of its body.
But Star-level mechs were completely different. Their greatest characteristic was—the lack of a physical body.
From the 3D projection, Star-level mechs appeared as enormous masses of metallic fluid. They could gather into metal spheres or disperse into a thin metallic mist.
The Energy Cores of Star-level mechs were certainly Star Brilliance Stones as well, but there was no way to see where those stones were located.
Belna explained, "Star-level mechs and lower-level mechs could be said to be entirely different lifeforms. Simply put, they are 'intelligent clouds' formed from quantum entanglement states."
Nebula-level mechs above them were fairly similar to Star-level ones, also taking the form of "intelligent clouds."
"However, Nebula-level mechs do not need wormhole portals to travel. They can traverse between star systems in the form of gravitational waves."
"That's quite a drastic change!" Su Yu exclaimed.
Without physical bodies, Su Yu had no idea how to deal with these mechs.
"Then how strong are Star-level mechs in combat?" Su Yu asked.
"Extremely strong," Belna answered. "According to information sent back from the front lines, Star-level mechs can fight carbon-based cultivators of the same rank to a draw. Coupled with their lack of physical bodies and their ease of repair, they even hold a slight advantage."
Belna shifted his gaze to Sheng Ge. "When the war began, the Crystal Blue Community deployed a large number of Star-level mechs, while the Federation forces had no will to fight. As a result, entire units surrendered.
"Wherever the Crystal Blue Mechs went, they encountered no resistance. There were mass surrenders everywhere, which was
