The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2975

Chapter 2975: Irrational Intimacy

Ves was sure that the serum synthesized by the Supreme Sage had a lot of secrets that he had yet to grasp. Due to lack of time and lack of comprehension in anything related to biotechnology, he had not gone over the research files of Project Cain and Special Project 'V'.

Instead, he tasked Dr. Ranya and Dr. Perris to work together on deciphering them in secret. Since much of the data and theory contained in the files related to extremely high-level research, the two young biotech experts were far from capable of grasping all of the knowledge.

He did not expect any quick results, but that was fine. He did not need to know all of the ins and outs on how the serum was produced to make use of its amazing properties.

After purifying and doing his best to develop a bond with the universal life energy he reserved for this experiment, he moved on to attuning himself to his other ingredients.

Nyaaaaa.

The Golden Cat looked a little glum as she materialized and stared mournfully at one of his other P-stones.

Ves gently caressed the ancestral cat's back with a spiritual projection. "I'm sorry, but I really need this piece of yours. I know it hurts, but you'll be able to make up for it in no time. Aren't there a lot of people who joined our clan lately? The spiritual feedback that our members provide is no longer a trickle."

In fact, Goldie no longer depended as much on the low-quality spiritual tribute provided by ordinary clansmen. Much of her growth came from the more potent spiritual feedback provided by the expert pilots and Journeyman Mech Designers of the Larkinson Clan.

Compared to someone as weak as Melkor Larkinson, people like Ketis and Venerable Jannzi provided much more substance at greater qualities.

Nyaaaa!

Goldie still acted petulantly, though. She perched close to Ves and gazed at him with recrimination in her resentful eyes.

Ves just reached out and petted her with an even greater degree of affection.

"There, there. You'll recover in no time. If all goes well, I'll be able to create a new cat and companion for you. Don't you love it when our family expands? Best of all, with the portion you have donated, the new addition will become your younger brother!"

Technically, it was more correct to state that Goldie would be one of the 'parents' of his companion spirit, but she was too young and the family relation wasn't that strong, so it was too excessive to treat her as if she was the mother.

In any case, since Ves was the main progenitor of all of his spiritual products, he was unquestionably their father. It didn't make sense to apply the human framework of family relations to his growing collection of spirits.

If he started doing that, then the genealogy of his spiritual family would become very weird.

Despite Goldie's grumpiness, Ves did not feel any reduction in closeness to the tiny spiritual fragment he harvested from her spiritual body.

After making sure that his intimacy with this piece remained high, he turned his attention to his other spiritual ingredients.

The relatively modest piece he carved out of the original fragment of the Unending One was a completely different ingredient. Though it appeared dormant and unresponsive, Ves always kept his guard up while he inspected it and tried to make sense of its confusing mix of spiritual products.

Just like the spiritual remains of other alien entities, Ves encountered a lot of alien and incomprehensible components that he felt very wary about.

He did not dare to assume that the Unending One was permanently dead. A dark god should have more tricks than that, and out of the three of them, the tentacled whale should have the richest means.

What was dead could come back to life. Ves had already inadvertently brought one fossil of history to life in the form of Ylvaine, could an entity that was much more powerful than a human prophet do the same?

"I have to minimize this risk as much as possible."

This was why Ves spent a lot of effort on cutting away the pollution. Every attribute that was not related to devouring and converting spiritual energy was useless in his eyes. This was why the lesser fragment of the Unending One grew even smaller as he did not hesitate to err on the side of caution.

It didn't matter if he reduced the fragment to just around 20 percent of its original strength. As long as he combined it with the universal life energy he prepared, the energy processing functions he damaged would definitely be restored and could very well even reach a higher degree of potency!

Compared to these difficult ingredients, the next one he handled was much simpler.

Lufa was one of his more recent spiritual products, so he possessed a high degree of understanding on how he worked. The spiritual fragment Ves requested from this design spirit actively cooperated with him when he wanted to cut out some unnecessary components.

The shard he carved out of Aisling Curver's design seed was much more unfathomable. It took quite a lot of force in order to damage the orphaned design seed in the first place, and Ves guessed that he only managed to achieve this much because the mind it belonged to was no longer alive.

"It's quite hard!"

He was sure he may have damaged something in the process, but Ves didn't care. He got the ingredient he wanted.

The only problem was that Ves couldn't figure out how to process or purify it any further. The dense but inert chunk was a different form of spiritual energy than he was accustomed to handling.
