The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2108

Chapter 2108 Mother“s Love

The centerpiece of this ceremony was the statue. Not Ves. Though his role was essential in shaping the opinions of his audience, he was not of the star of the show today.

In order to achieve his desired results, Ves needed to get everyone to worship the statue of the Superior Mother.

In order to do that, Ves took a page from the likes of Prophet Ylvaine and other successful charlatans. He had already constructed a spiritual image of himself as a fanatical proselytizer!

Once he donned this mask, he gained an intensity in his mind that suddenly made him very eager to spread the gospel of motherhood!

"Mothers." Ves began. "Are the most honored people in existence. They are the carriers of life. Each of us emerged from their wombs. Each of us owe our lives from the sacrifices they make."

The statue began to sparkle under the light. That was mostly due to the special formula that Ves applied to its surface layer.

It made it seem as if the statue was made up out of stars. The glinting lights made it harder for people to study its details, but that only added to its mystery!

"It is a shame that not everyone has the privilege to grow up under the care of a loving mother. Do you remember the times when your mother kissed your cheek? Do you recall the times when she hugged you and soothed you when you cried? Back when you were young, your mother seemed like the most important woman of your life. Do you still think that there can never be a better woman in your life than your mother?"

His words possessed an unnatural power. Everyone who listened to him, the guards included, couldn't help but think back on their own childhoods!

A lot of nostalgia started to appear on the faces of the men. Ves grinned at the sight. He had already succeeded in hypnotizing them with his Devil Tongue.

Unfortunately, not everyone was as easy to crack. He glimpsed down at Vincent Ricklin, who had grown up under difficult circumstances. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

As Ves floated around the statue in circles, he peered at the faces of the Penitent Sisters and the Swordmaidens.

Both groups of strong-willed women held out for different reasons.

Just like Gloriana, the Penitent Sisters felt offended by this ritual.

As for the Swordmaidens, they all grew up under very tough circumstances in the frontier.

Ves knew he had to change tack.

"Mothers serve an indispensable role." He spoke. "They are the bearers of children. My children. Your children. Everyone's children. The continuation of life rests on their shoulders. It is in their belly that mech pilots and presidents are born! No matter how great or humble you currently are, everyone of us started from the same origin."

Technically, that wasn't entirely true. Some people were born from artificial wombs. This was usually the case when the woman who was supposed to carry a child suffered from severe health problems or couldn't afford to carry a child due to work reasons.

Though resorting to an artificial womb was a hassle-free way to bring a baby to term, most women didn't choose to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.

Therefore, Ves didn't have to worry about offending too many people who were born from technology rather than flesh.

He smiled and spread his arms. "The statue you see before you represents the woman known as the Superior Mother. When you think of this word, what do you imagine?"

What did the audience imagine? Many of them who looked at the ethereal-looking statue began to imagine their own mothers. Others began to conjure up other people's mothers. Some even thought about fictional mothers!

No matter what, no human was unfamiliar with mothers. They played such a ubiquitous role in society that humanity could not do without their existence!

"Each of you are probably thinking about different mothers." He said. "I am no different. When I think about the word mother, I think of my youth where I was just a little boy. I was an energetic child back then. I was happy and my mother always made sure to keep me that way. She fed me when I was hungry, clothed me when I was cold, tucked me in bed when I was afraid of the dark and kissed me when I wanted affection. All of my needs were met. Those were some of the happiest days of my life."

He truly spoke from his heart. His spiritual mask didn't distort his meaning all that much. It was just that his happy memories of Cynthia Larkinson were only confined to his early childhood!

As for the Cynthia that showed up when he was an adult, Ves conveniently pushed those memories to the back of his mind.

He began to look around again and saw that he managed to grip the hearts of the women.

Hexers placed supreme importance on motherhood. Even boy-haters like the Penitent Sisters revered mothers to an immense degree!

As for the Swordmaidens, while their childhoods weren't all that ideal, most of them still grew up with the support of a mother. No matter how awful the circumstances in the frontier degenerated, mothers were still the same, mostly.

Ves acknowledged this fact in his speech. "Every mother is different. Some mothers kiss their children more often than others. Some mothers prefer to spoil their children than to discipline them. Some are poor, some are rich, some are strong, some are frail. Yet no matter their differences, they all share something in common. Love."

A wave of warmth spread from his body as he shared his childhood affection. That innocent love and trust he held for his mother was something he cherished for his entire life. Now, he bared it to his audience, allowing every to experience the wondrous sensation of enjoying the unconditional love of a mother!

Some people began to tear up. Others began to look nostalgic as the sensation triggered their own memories of their mother's affection.

"The reason why this statue is called the Superior Mother is not because it stands for the ideal model. To me, the Superior Mother is an embodiment of every mother that attempts to do right by their children. No matter what difficulties and challenges they face, a good mother always strives to devote their whole lives to the betterment of their children!"
