Background
Li Yi selected the Pluto Mech after failing to resonate with several other Divine Mechs. It was his remaining option among the unexamined units, and he chose it after seeking an answer through a dream 17.
Its activation was exceptionally difficult. Li Yi remained in its Insertion Pod for roughly ninety minutes before the 43-meter mech opened its eyes; its awakening projected an icy, hellish sensation that nearly froze onlookers’ thoughts 18. Though its startup time was considered a serious weakness, its raw combat performance immediately proved exceptional.
The mech is believed by some to have originally been an A-class Divine Mech that degraded after a prolonged lack of divinity. This remains an assessment rather than a confirmed origin 31.
The Pluto Mech’s greatest transformation occurred in the Moon’s God-Suppressing Prison. He Guangzhi theorized that the prison was built from Pluto’s main body, allowing an ascension there to elevate its traits into conceptual abilities 295. The resulting upgrade raised it to A-class high-tier and fundamentally expanded its freezing, gravity, and spatial capabilities 297 300 302.
During the Epoch Ruins incident, the mech absorbed immense divinity from a void rift and underwent another ascension. Li Yi learned that Divine Mechs are biomechanical bodies whose chest-mounted Divinity Cores function as “a universe within the universe,” enabling self-repair and effectively inexhaustible power 453. This process eventually allowed him to operate the Pluto Mech as naturally as his own body 455.
Appearance
The Pluto Mech’s design changes substantially with each ascension, while retaining its black coloration, humanoid silhouette, and imposing, abyssal presence.
- Initially a 43-meter, streamlined, all-black mech with icy eyes that evoke a brutal hell 18.
- After its first ascension, it reaches 69 meters and gains sharper, conical armor guards, hidden abyss-like patterns on its chest and arm guards, and a cold, planet-like texture 116.
- After the God-Suppressing Prison ascension, its armor becomes “multicolored black”: black with subtle shifting colors, thicker and more rounded balanced armor, and red eye-beams 299.
- At the S-class limit, it reaches 485 meters before transforming into armor 456.
- In Divine Armor form, it becomes a slender suit of thin, pitch-black armor matching Li Yi’s proportions and facial structure 456.
- After merging with Uranus, it becomes the black-and-white Netherheaven Divine Armor 494.
Abilities & Skills
Absolute Zero and Ice Hell
The Pluto sequence’s freezing power can immobilize targets, neutralize energy, and establish the frozen environment required to activate Ice Hell.
- Freezes more than a dozen unconventional evolvers in a single release of Pluto Divinity 153.
- Its Absolute Fluid neutralizes intense heat and energy from hostile attacks 182.
- Ice Hell requires a large frozen environment created through Absolute Zero before it can function 167.
- Following the Moon ascension, freezing and Ice Hell become conceptual traits usable in Li Yi’s Celestial Rank ultimate move 302.
Gravity
The mech possesses gravity-based characteristics, later elevated into a conceptual trait.
- Uses gravity to redirect the Thunder King Mech’s lightning attack at a ninety-degree angle and pull the mech out of position 300.
- Supports high-speed movement through Gravity Thrusters 146 160.
- Gravity is one of the four Pluto traits incorporated into Li Yi’s ultimate move 302.
Spatial Divinity
A Pluto-sequence spatial trait that develops into an independent combat capability after the God-Suppressing Prison ascension.
- Creates a massive spatial rift capable of clearing away a section of a mountain peak 301.
- Enhances the fangs of Li Yi’s white-tiger ultimate manifestation 302.
- Supports the mech’s later compression into Divine Armor and armor-stacking processes 456 493.
Divinity Techniques
The Pluto Mech supports a range of techniques derived from Li Yi’s combat methods and Divinity control.
- Layered Vibration — used to knock down the Flame Crow Mech and damage the Abyss Mech 36 50.
- Concussive Freeze Wave — fired from its jaws to attack and freeze opponents 143 182.
- Absolute Fluid / Vortex defense — combines fluid-like divinity with the Vortex-Word Technique to deflect four simultaneous Divinity Energy Cannons 143.
- Divinity Projection — projects divinity beyond the mech’s body; Li Yi uses it for flight and even visual communication 164 177.
- Divine Armor Transformation — compresses the mech into armor around Li Yi while retaining power beyond its enlarged state 456.
Physical Combat
The Pluto Mech is especially suited to Li Yi’s close-quarters, force-conversion fighting style.
- Delivers enough force with an ordinary strike to send the Electric Surge Mech flying hundreds of meters 22.
- Uses Adhere-Word, Quake-Word, Vortex-Word, Pierce-Word, and Fluid Force techniques to redirect force and create explosive impacts 50 142 181.
- Its Fluid Force-enhanced strikes can breach other Divine Mechs’ armor and intimidate multiple opponents into retreat 143.
- Uses the Tiger Strike Style, culminating in the Celestial Rank ultimate “Lean Tiger Descending the Mountain.” 302
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Armor-Piercing Greatsword — a hundred-meter weapon carried diagonally between the mech’s waist and shoulder; can be sharpened with divinity and used with accumulated kinetic force 118 125.
- Gravity Thruster — enables extreme acceleration and improved flight performance 141 146.
- Windfire Thrusters — used for rapid changes of direction and sudden charging bursts 95 138.
- Divinity Core — located in the chest; maintains the mech’s operation and contains its internal “small universe” structure 453.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Jade Pool No. 7 Selection and Newcomer Tournament
Li Yi selects and activates the Pluto Mech despite being a non-evolver and suffering its unusually long startup period 17 18. The mech quickly establishes its overwhelming physical power by sending the Electric Surge Mech flying with one ordinary blow 21 22.
Special Selection Class Battles
The Pluto Mech becomes Li Yi’s main platform for developing advanced combat techniques. It withstands the Lihuo Mech’s inherited skill, defeats the Flame Crow Mech with Layered Vibration, and cripples the Abyss Mech’s arm through a double-burst strike 24 36 50.
Ascension and Youth Mech Pilot Competition
After its first ascension, the 69-meter Pluto Mech gains a more refined, armored form 116. Li Yi uses it throughout the competition, placing third atop Great Peak and fighting multiple Divine Mechs at once 143 147.
God-Suppressing Prison Ascension
The mech ascends in the Moon’s God-Suppressing Prison, gaining conceptual freezing, gravity, and spatial traits. Its upgraded A-class high-tier form enables Li Yi to stalemate He Guangzhi’s Thunder King Mech with his newly created Celestial Rank ultimate move 295 299 302.
Epoch Ruins and Divine Armor
The Pluto Mech scans for Starborn forces at the Epoch Ruins, then absorbs divinity from a void rift and reveals its biomechanical principles to Li Yi 449 453. It later reaches the S-class limit and transforms into Pluto Divine Armor 456.
Netherheaven Divine Armor
While maintaining the Pluto Divine Armor, Li Yi upgrades and compresses the Uranus Mech. He successfully merges it into the Pluto foundation, creating the Netherheaven Divine Armor and triggering a planet-wide upheaval on Uranus 493 494.
Trivia
- The Pluto Mech’s activation took approximately 90 minutes, setting the longest startup record among the Jade Pool No. 7 finalists 18.
- Its early D-class status was unusual for the Celestial God Series, whose surviving units are generally A- or B-class 31.
- Li Yi has no intention of replacing the Pluto Mech, even after acquiring the Uranus Mech as a secondary Divine Mech 204.
- After its God-Suppressing Prison enhancement, it becomes Li Yi’s strongest Divine Mech, ahead of Gaia and Uranus 361.
