Like an awakened ancient beast, the mecha began to surge with a powerful and mysterious energy. Its once smooth and compact frame was gradually enveloped in a layer of azure light, which spread and churned outward like a turbulent tide. Within the light, the mecha's components began an astonishing transformation.

The mecha's arms and legs expanded and deformed simultaneously. Its original mechanical torso disassembled and reconfigured itself layer by layer, becoming a more robust and powerful frame. Every armor plate on its arms gleamed with a cold metallic luster, like indestructible shields. At the joints, azure energy lines darted through like living lightning, seeming to inject an endless wellspring of power into the steel body.

A massive energy core slowly emerged from the mecha's chest, surrounded by complex and precise machinery. Operating at high speed, these devices emitted a blinding light that illuminated the mecha's entire body, creating an exceptionally brilliant spectacle.

Simultaneously, the mecha's head transformed. Its once-simple design became more fierce and majestic. A pair of giant horns extended from both sides of its head, gleaming with the same azure energy, like two sharp lances aimed at the sky.

Following this series of dazzling changes, Chen Pingchuan's mecha completed its magnificent transformation. It stood tall over the city ruins with a commanding presence, confronting the Eight-armed Demon Monster across the rubble. The area was now a ruin precisely because their transformations had wrought an immeasurable impact on the surroundings.

"Hmph. A disgusting stench. Damn it," Chen Pingchuan's cold voice emanated through the mecha's amplification system.

The black-clad leader, now transformed into the Eight-armed Demon God, merely let out a crazed laugh filled with disdain. "You think you can kill me? I will show you what true power is!"

As he spoke, his eight arms swung in unison. Black flames ignited on each demonic arm as he slammed them fiercely toward Chen Pingchuan's mecha in a near-apocalyptic assault.

Chen Pingchuan was unhurried. He maneuvered the massive mechanical arms with surprising agility. Fiery red flames blazed upon them, and each strike landed with the force of a meteor, clashing with the black flames.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The two opposing flames collided mid-air with a crackling roar. The surrounding atmosphere warped from the intense heat, turning the area into a furnace.

"Puny tricks!" the leader in black roared, leaping abruptly with his massive body. The force of his jump created a powerful gust of wind, causing the surrounding streets to collapse and kicking up clouds of dust. While airborne, he swung his arms down in a vicious chop towards Chen Pingchuan's mecha, a blow with enough force to split a mountain.

Chen Pingchuan sidestepped the deadly strike. Powerful thrusters on his mecha's legs fired, using the recoil to instantly position him behind the giant leader. A massive mechanical fist smashed into the Eight-armed Demon God's back with a dull thud, causing the creature to stagger forward. Its feet stomped massive craters into the ground, and the impact shook nearby buildings so violently that many collapsed, sending bricks and debris flying everywhere.

"Is that all you've got?," Chen Pingchuan taunted.

The leader in black whirled around in a fury. Sixteen compound eyes suddenly sprouted on his eight arms, their gazes flashing with hatred. "I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

His arms elongated again, transforming into eight giant whips that lashed toward Chen Pingchuan's mecha.

A pair of wings, also wreathed in fire, suddenly extended from the back of Chen Pingchuan's mecha. He used their power to soar high into the air, dodging the attack.

From high above, Chen Pingchuan looked down on the Eight-armed Demon God. His mecha's hands clasped together and then slowly pulled apart, forming a huge fireball between them. The sphere of flame grew larger and larger, consuming the very air around it with a low hum.

"Taste this! Divine Punishment—Flame Burst!" Chen Pingchuan roared, hurling the fireball down at the leader in black.

The fireball plunged downward with an aura of pure destruction. It exploded the instant it struck the giant, creating a massive mushroom cloud as flames surged toward the heavens. Powerful shockwaves ripped outward, leveling all remaining buildings. The blast scorched the earth, carving out a huge circular crater. The ground around it melted from the extreme heat, transforming into a field of black obsidian.

Yet, when the smoke cleared, the Eight-armed Demon God was still standing. Though his body was covered in scorch marks, he licked his lips indifferently. "Hahaha, still not enough!"

Chen Pingchuan frowned, privately astonished at his opponent's tenacity. "Tough as a cockroach!"

He controlled the mecha to dive down again, its arms transforming into two giant Flame Swords. He slashed down towards the giant's head.

The leader in black raised four arms to block. A piercing shriek erupted as metal sparked against metal, fire intermingling with flesh. His other four arms took advantage of the opening, reaching for Chen Pingchuan's mecha in an attempt to grapple its frame.

Chen Pingchuan skillfully maneuvered the mecha to evade the grab. The Flame Swords carved deep gashes into the Eight-armed Demon God's arms, from which black blood flowed. The blood sizzled as it dripped to the ground, corroding small pits into the scorched earth.

The two continued to clash in the air and on the ground. Each collision unleashed massive waves of energy, completely obliterating the city streets. In their place lay nothing but ruins and scorched earth, a landscape of crumbling walls and blazing fires. The sky was shrouded in thick smoke, so dense that not even the sun's light could penetrate it. The entire city seemed to be caught in an apocalyptic nightmare. The once-cold Steel City now glowed a fiery red.

The protracted battle was a blow to his pride, and Chen Pingchuan snorted coldly. His arrogance would not allow the fight to end this way. "Since you're so stubborn, then I'll show you a true miracle! Divine Skill: Fire God's Descent!"

As he spoke, the azure glow enveloping the mecha instantly shifted to a scorching, fiery red, as if a blazing sun had descended upon the world. The mecha's form changed once again. The wings on its back grew even larger, flames burning fiercely upon them like a phoenix unfurling its plumage. A layer of molten lava now coated its arms and legs, kicking up trails of sparks with every movement. Its head was completely wreathed in fire, leaving only a pair of eyes that shone with a brilliant golden light. At this point, it no longer resembled a giant mecha but a colossal being of fire—the Fire God himself, descended in person.
