The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2398

Chapter 2398: Devouring Abyss

The battle between the Allidus Alliance and the Larkinson Clan began as a struggle between humans.

Through the use of great and powerful mechs and starships, they clashed against each other with the weapons familiar to any human.

Yet from the moment that Ves flipped the board, the battle quickly morphed into a battle that no longer had any place for mortals.

Through several means, the Larkinson Clan called down powerful, titanic energy projections that were so powerful and unfathomable that they appeared to be no different from gods!

The design spirit of the Aurora Titans roared with rage as her space barrier shielded the intact remnants of the Larkinson fleet from the pressure emanated by her enemy counterparts.

The Larkinsons and Penitent Sisters had lost almost fifty ships from the massive guns of the Gravada Knarlax and escorts. Though this had led to an enormous loss of materials, prompt evacuation had allowed much of their crews to escape alive.

Now, these vulnerable people crammed into the ships that remained intact and huddled behind the shield of the lizard-like god that hovered behind the valiant Shield of Samar.

With Venerable Jannzi doing her utmost to protect her family, no one gave in to despair!

Further ahead, three more extraordinary entities appeared to be fighting on behalf of the Larkinson Clan.

The Swordmaiden mechs numbered less than forty, but the one-sided destruction the women inflicted on the Allidus Archons was completely out of proportion!

Commander Dise's breakthrough to expert pilot certainly helped, but she could have never destroyed over five-hundred elite pirate mechs by herself if not for the favorable circumstances empowering her will.

First, the convergence of the imaginary and the material powered her up beyond what was usual.

Second, her bond with Qilanxo had provided her with a powerful boost, especially since she finally found a reason to fight that was compatible with the sacred god's ideals.

Third, her living sword intent actively concentrated her will, thereby putting her ahead of other newly-advanced expert pilots.

Fourth, her living sword intent also functioned as a battle network. After the connections became active, her strong will flowed into her subordinates!

The sword projection that superimposed itself onto the battle formation of the Swordmaidens seemed unimaginably real. I was a sword that completely surpassed anything that could have existed for real. Though it was for all intents and purposes an illusion, when the imaginary and the material became intertwined, even illusions could cut mechs in half!

"OUR SWORD IS UNBREAKABLE!"

"OUR SWORD IS THE SHARPEST!"

"OUR SWORD IS ETERNAL!"

While the Swordmaidens were backed by a giant greatsword manifested from Commander Dise's force of will, the Penitent Sisters enjoyed the support of an even greater entity!

The Superior Mother had seemingly come to life and descended over the mechs piloted by the former cultist Hexers.

Though they had left the Hegemony in disgrace, not a single shred of shame or defeat graced the excited faces of the Hexer mech pilots!

Despite grossly outnumbering the Penitent Sisters, the mechs piloted by the pirates all flew away in terror. Being besieged by incredibly powerful second-class mechs was a frightening prospect to any Nyxian scum!

While it should have been possible for the pirates to organize themselves and mob the Penitent Sister mechs with overwhelming numbers, the energy projection of the Superior Mother put that plan to rest!

Each time the pirate mechs attempted to group up, the Superior Mother stretched out with her arms and clawed her fingers through the mechs. Each time she did so, the mech pilots inside felt drained as they lost sort of energy!

The appearance of this Hexer 'god' completely broke the pirate conscripts. Even the rank and file of the Allidus Alliance quaked in their boots when faced with this Supreme come to life.

How could mere humans like them ever stand a chance against gods? Each time their mechs attacked the Superior Mother, their blows just went right through her projected body!

"We messed with the wrong people! These Larkinsons are crazier than some of the cults back home!"

"Only gods can fight against gods!"

Though the Superior Mother made a very big impression on both sides, she had only come into existence due to the activation of a battle network.

The most real entity that fought on behalf of the Larkinson Clan was no one else than the Golden Cat!

While every Larkinson knew of her, they initially thought that she was just a symbol. Though every clansmen were constantly in touch with her, they mistakenly thought that the cat that adorned their clan emblem was just a cute mascot.

Never did they think that the Golden Cat was truly real and able to manifest into reality in such a dramatic fashion!

Conjured onto the battlefield through Joshua's exceptionally powerful breakthrough, the complete resonance he achieved with the Quint allowed the Golden Cat act on her desire to fight against the pirates that threatened the lives of her precious Larkinsons!

After wreaking havoc on the forward sections of the heavily-damaged Gravada Knarlax, the Quint and the giant cat looked ready to destroy the most central asset of the Allidus Alliance by themselves!

Yet one single event changed everything.

Deep inside the Gravada Knarlax, a single hidden compartment shook from the damage inflicted on the warship. The compartment was home to a shrine that was more elaborate than at Ulimo Citadel.
