The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2406

Chapter 2406: Ves' Faith

The process of merging the material realm and the imaginary realm at the space around the portal proceeded steadily at first.

His mother continually poured power in the spiritual engine that he and his mother had designed. As a collaborative work, the creation encompassed both of their strengths.

Ves provided the mechanisms that transformed power in a way that allowed it to do more work at much less cost.

Cynthia added some very advanced spiritual components that took in the power and accomplished the feat they were trying to achieve.

He found it very inspirational to work with his mother on such a project! If not for their many disagreements, Ves would have cherished the experience even more.

Through the quick collaboration, Ves also gained a better sense of his mother's spiritual understanding.

Just as he expected, her depth and heritage was very extensive. If Ves compared it to his profession, then his mother was probably analogous to a Senior or a Master while he was just a Novice!

The gulf between them was too big!

However, Ves actually realized that this comparison was not accurate. While it was true that his mother possessed a lot of advanced knowledge, she didn't specialize in spiritual engineering.

Most of what she learned was geared towards applications other than creating spiritual products. While she could do it, she mainly did so to create something simple. She did not specialize in it. What she actually excelled at was a mystery.

Even so, her high understanding of a lot of profound rules granted her the ability to create spiritual products and components that simply defied his understanding. They were very specific, but also very powerful in their narrow roles.

The spiritual engine could have never existed if Ves worked on it alone. He lacked his mother's extensive spiritual foundation. Even when his mother created the few components he needed to make the spiritual engine worked, Ves simply couldn't see through what she was doing. There was no way for him to copy her efforts and replicate her work!

"I hope it will work."

He waited as his mother inputted more and more power into the spiritual engine. Through principles that he didn't fully understand, the physical dimensions and the spiritual dimensions were indeed moving closer. He could feel it in his bones.

In fact, the creeping sense of danger made him feel very uncomfortable!

Seeing that his involvement wasn't needed at this time, he decided to talk to his father. As a spiritual caveman, he played no role at all in the proceedings.

"Dad.. it looks like you and your mech are doing well."

"We are." Ryncol replied with evident satisfaction. "Your work is very unique, but great. I had some doubts about piloting a bestial mech, but I have grown comfortable in piloting it. While it is a temperamental machine, its power is beyond compare, especially against the opponents that we typically face in the Nyxian Gap."

Ves felt very happy that he made his father pleased with his work. His dad was one of his most important customers as far as he was concerned!

"The mech is not entirely safe to pilot, though. There are aspects about the neural interface and other elements that have not been designed with maximum safety in mind."

"I'm aware. Our resident mech designer has already explained the potential risks to me. The mech is very different from what it was from the start. We've taken extensive advantage of its nanomachines. Our head designer has also retooled it into an expert mech that suits my capabilities. You don't need to worry for me. This mech has served me well so far and it will continue to be my fighting partner."

Through their brief discussion, Ves discovered that the Devil Tiger he created had already taken on a life of its own. Not only had it developed a close bond with his father, some other mech designer had tweaked and upgraded the machine extensively.

"Who is this mech designer you are talking about?" Ves asked with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

"That is not for me to say. It's better that you don't know, Ves. All I can tell you is that the mech you made is in good hands. I make sure that none of the changes alters the mech too much. I don't get as much enjoyment in piloting a mech that isn't made by you. I think at least half of my strength comes from the fact that a part of you is with me in every fight."

Ves sensed the love expressed by his father. He felt warm in his heart. The affection from his family was too precious! He had missed this sensation!

The two didn't have much time to catch up with each other before his mother's efforts hit a turning point.

As the material realm and the spiritual realm began to move closer to each other, the spiritual engine experienced more and more strain. The convergence gradually slowed down until it stopped entirely.

"I can't get them to move any closer!" Cynthia strenuously said, causing Ves to snap out of his leisurely conversation with his father. "I.. don't… have enough power!"

His heart sank as he heard this. He hoped the engine was ingenious enough to accomplish what they wanted without too much effort, but it wasn't enough.

The immense vortex had become more substantial around the portal. Ves even saw signs that it was slightly beginning to impact the portal. It wasn't enough, though. The realms needed to overlap even more!

"How can we solve this, mother?"

"Isn't that obvious?! I need power, any power! Do you have any more life essence?"

"You took my only stash of it away from me already!"

His mother's giant mutated face frowned. "If you can't provide me with any further strength, then I can supply it myself. It will cost me, though. If I give up too much.. I won't be able to maintain my existence."

"NO!"

"You can't!"

Both Ves and his father objected to this solution! Neither wanted to see her die!

"We don't have any other option! We need to make our move fast. The Temple Protector is closing in. I can feel his presence nearing the portal. It won't be long before he passes through!"

Ves thought for a moment. He recalled his earlier conversation with James and the ideas he generated from it. "Wait! I may have a better way! Do you recall the Superior Mother? She has grown very strong as of late!"

"This… may work."

In order to help his mother derive power from her avatar, Ves brought forth the statue of the Superior Mother. The lightning-struck work possessed an incredibly strong association to the ancestral spirit. He was sure that bringing it to Cynthia would help.

After locating and bringing the statue out, the Devil Tiger carefully grasped the marble-like statue with its limbs and hastily flew towards Cynthia's giant energy projection.

His mother's eyes lit up as she saw and felt the statue approaching. She sensed something remarkable from it! "Throw it inside me. Do it quickly!"

The Devil Tiger did as instructed. As soon as the statue entered Cynthia's giant body, it settled right in the middle.

Soon, changes began to take place. Ves looked on with great fascination as he sensed the presence of the Superior Mother emerging from his actual mother.

The energy projection changed shape as it became a little more human! Cynthia's bearing began to grow nobler and more regal as she began to take on traits of the Hexer Supreme!

Her power grew along with these changes. Not only that, Ves sensed the shadow of an enormous collective of Hexers who earnestly believed in the greatness of the Superior Mother!

"It's working, at least for now!"

The two realms began to overlap more and more. Though the movement didn't seem very big, the vortex was drastically becoming more real!

More and more force began to impact the portal. More blue radiance began to bloom from it. Yet just as the vortex was about to surpass a critical threshold, the convergence stopped again!

"I can't!" His mother cried! "I can't.. go any further than this!"

They were still missing too much power! Even though the spiritual engine looked as if it was working at full gear, the two realms still weren't close enough! To make just a tiny bit of progress, they had to input vastly more power!

"Damnit!"

He then proceeded to do something that caused both of his parents to be startled. _{freёweɓnovel.com}
