The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3368

Chapter 3368: The Queen Cat

Though Ves instructed Gloriana to remain as calm and composed as possible, she couldn't help but smirk when she sensed the ingredient that her husband was processing.

Ves had never hidden the source of this so-called 'design seed'. He thought that she would grow angry and blow up at the suggestion of borrowing the strength of one of her former enemies.

He was wrong. Gloriana did not dislike it. It was the opposite. She loved the entire notion!

She hated Aisling Curver back when the Fridayman mech designer was alive. The woman had the temerity to invade someone else's territory and steal a possession that did not belong to her! It was only right for Master Huron's student to fail and die, especially when she teamed up with Venerable Ghanso Larkinson.

"Aisling never stood a chance against a superior woman." Gloriana grinned. "I've conquered her dreams, her future and her love. Now, I'm about to take her strength for myself!"

She did not consider it a sign of weakness to absorb the advantages of her enemies. She was merely claiming her rightful spoils.

Despite the unknown implications of grafting a new life form based on a portion of another mech designer's design philosophy onto her mind, she was confident she could suppress any remnant of Aisling that might cause problems.

Besides, Ves had already assured her that these risks were unlikely to happen.

Gloriana completely relaxed as she lowered her mental defenses to allow Ves to work. Though she could feel Blinky fiddling in her mind in an increasingly more profound and disturbing way, she forcefully clamped down her instinctive reactions. She completely trusted her husband to do what was best for her and their future children.

Her hand softly caressed her large belly. She could feel her daughter kick. Did her baby girl feel what mommy was going through at the moment?

At first, Gloriana dismissed this silly notion. Yet as Ves and Blinky continued to shape her new cat, she became a bit more capable of understanding her baby.

Was her daughter… truly aware?

Before she could think about anything else, her mind convulsed as a brand new presence came to life!

"It's done!" Ves proudly said as he and Blinky drew back in order to behold the latest life they created.

The red spiritual cat that they had molden from Gloriana's spirituality was fairly strong but not very versatile.

Compared to Vulcan, the new companion spirit consisted of much less ingredients, and the potency of each of them was much less extravagant. The challenge of making the new cat was not a big deal for that reason.

To Ves, the purity and specialization of Gloriana's new living spiritual augment mattered more than its raw power. Companion spirits grew alongside their human partners anyway so even weak ones would eventually become formidable over time.

He decided to keep this job simple by basing the new main ingredient around a single main ingredient.

The design network that Gloriana wanted to form with the help of her new companion spirit had to be as strong in order to make it worth it. Ves deemed it was not worth the cost to load up her new cat with other major influences.

Gloriana's spirituality only possessed a limited amount of capacity, so rather than diluting one primary function with another primary function, Ves preferred to concentrate his resources on one of them. That was the best way to produce a strong spiritual ability.

Another reason why Ves kept it simple was because he did not want to take too many risks. Gloriana's mental resilience was not as strong as that of Ketis or himself.

Due to special reasons, both Ves and his student had exercised their minds and spirits a lot more often and they had withstood a lot of powerful external pressure. They became much more capable of enduring drastic changes in their minds and spirits.

As for Gloriana…

"She's closer to a typical Journeyman." He concluded.

Given her relative fragility and the fact that she was also bearing a baby inside her body, Ves decided to take it easy and avoid overcomplicating this procedure.

Combining multiple different powerful ingredients together allowed Ves to create spiritual products with drastically different strengths and abilities that he did not have access to before.

However, the results were less controllable and the original abilities of the ingredients might become lost in the process.

While Ves made use of other ingredients, he kept their proportions small in order to prevent them from overshadowing the main ingredient.

In total, he used up his own spiritual energy, a tiny shard of the Unending One and another tiny fragment of the Golden Cat.

He topped it all off with 10 percent of the universal life energy stored in one of his high-grade life-prolonging treatment serums. While this was a much more powerful ingredient than the other ones, it was entirely used to upgrade and accelerate the growth of the spiritual product so that it started off on a stronger footing.

After all of this effort, a charming and beautiful red cat that was only a bit weaker than Blinky at the start came to life!

Gloriana became entranced as lots of new sensations overtook her mind. The birth of her new companion spirit not only caused her to gain a permanent friend that was essentially a facet of herself, but also allowed her to sense spiritual energy and spiritual life forms to a significantly greater degree!

Of course, she could only do this by borrowing the perception of her new cat, and it was not as attuned as that of Ves. She also gained the ability to manipulate spiritual energy through her cat as well, but since this wasn't her original strength, she couldn't do much with it. At most, she could cooperate with Ves a little more effectively now that she could better track his own work.

"Wow." She said as a red spiritual cat emerged out of her mind. "So this is what I've been missing all this time."

The mature cat that emerged from her mind immediately displayed an imperious and arrogant attitude. The cat directed a loving gaze at Gloriana and her belly but turned up her nose at everyone else, including her own creator!

Maow!

The red cat flew around for a bit before she lowered herself so that Gloriana could hold her new companion spirit in her arms.

It was strange to hold a cat that was not actually solid. Gloriana had already learned the trick to doing so by playing with Blinky, so her new companion spirit did not pass through her arms.

Both human and cat looked at each other with loving and admiring gazes. It was as if they were looking at the most charming and beautiful partners in their lives!

Ves was aware of how wondrous it was to gain and meet a companion spirit for the first time, so he initially did not find their behavior remarkable.

He gradually became more disturbed as three straight minutes went by without any change.

"Uhm, Gloriana?"

His wife finally snapped out of her daze. She grinned as her companion spirit climbed up to stand on her shoulder like a vigilant owl.

"I've decided."

"What did you decide?"

"Alexandria."
