Chapter 3895 Successful Experiment
"Hahahaha…"
"Hahahaha!"
"HAHAHAHA!"
In the cockpit of the mech that had become the vessel of Lufa in his guise as the Aspect of Transcendence, one of its occupants had completely lost control of himself!
"Meow!"
Lucky jumped from the top of the seat and flew backwards in order to distance himself from the man who was currently laughing like a deranged madman!
Ves didn't care about his cat's reaction. How could he spare the time to pay attention to his pet when he had triggered one of the most wonderful spectacles that he had ever set into motion?
By radiating the glow of the Aspect of Transcendence far and wide, the Everchanger turned into an angel that was able to inspire the best out of mech pilots!
"I see now! I see! This is the true way to utilize this glow!"
The Aspect of Transcendence was one of his most inspiring and life-changing inventions.
Created out of a series of four organic statues, Ves couldn't explain the mood and circumstances he was in to form a fourth statue that was so much different than the previous three.
As hinted by the name that Ves had bestowed upon it, the Aspect of Transcendence was a vessel to help people transcend their mortal limitations.
It did so by applying a theory that Ves had slowly developed over the course of his career after coming into contact with numerous expert pilots and learning about their various properties.
To Ves, expert pilots were brutish oafs and louts that were brilliant at fighting but bad at everything else.
Although that sounded like a pejorative assessment, he also admired them for how much strength they derived from their extreme adherence to their values and principles.
Ves theorized that the reason why expert pilots always came across as blunt instruments was because their extraordinary power was based on developing their willpower, and the best way to do so was to get obsessed about a goal or principle.
By centering one's life around a certain principle to the point where it became the focal point of their hearts, these remarkable warriors were able to burst out with unusual strength and turn their willpower from something weak and illusionary into a weapon that allowed them to affect reality in remarkable ways.
Ves created the Aspect of Transcendence with the intention of inducing and accelerating the process of self-discovery and dedication of one's life to a chosen conviction!
It was a pity that the actual results did not yield the results he expected.
In his previous experiments with a couple of hundred less-than-voluntary test subjects, the people subjected to the Aspect of Transcendence's glow indeed became stimulated by its influence.
The problem was that the vast majority of them were too weak and unprepared to properly benefit from this gift!
Nothing came without a price, and the Aspect of Transcendence ultimately made that clear when the test subjects could no longer endure the increasingly heavier strain on their minds and spirits.
The cleaning bots had to wipe away a lot of bloodstains and broken bits of bone and brain matter because of the burden!
After obtaining these results, Ves concluded that most people simply weren't ready to attain this power. The dangerous and outright lethal nature of the Aspect of Transcendence had dashed his hopes of using it to take the entire mech industry by storm in a single leap.
His research on the Aspect of Transcendence had stalled after these failures. Even though he theorized that well-trained mech pilots would be able to succeed where many of his test subjects had failed, he could not take the risk of subjecting any of his clansmen to this dangerous instrument.
It was only when Ketis used the Aspect of Transcendence without his authorization that Ves gained more confidence in using it on his own clansmen.
Of course, as Ves drafted his plans to form his ambition T Institute, he did not envision throwing his mech pilots within the range of the infamous statue's glow and see what would happen.
He already composed numerous different experimental research proposals in his mind.
The safe and proper way to experiment with the Aspect of Transcendence was to begin small and slow. The advice provided by Ketis had made him realize he did not need to subject his people to its full effect.
If this battle didn't occur and if Ves was not in the middle of it, he wouldn't have thought to bring one of his forbidden experiments forward at all. He would have adopted the mindset of a proper researcher and started with exposing a weakened and castrated version of the glow to different groups of people on a tentative and long-term basis.
It could take months if not years for any of these experiments to yield any obvious results, but it was worth it as long as no one's heads exploded as a result.
However, Ves no longer thought that was the best way to make use of this unique glow.
"What is happening outside the Everchanger is a much better application!"
Expert candidates and expert pilots were breaking through at a frequency unseen since the Battle against the Abyss!
Different from the previous where the underlying cause of the abundant breakthroughs was centered around an abnormal environment, this time the cause was man-made and completely under his control!
His eyes lit up with glee and satisfaction as he felt an enormous sense of accomplishment for the outcome that his inventions had produced!
"The Everchanger is truly my most useful work!"
It was not his strongest expert mech, but its ability to swap between design spirits and glows was invaluable!
This feature essentially allowed the Everchanger to replicate almost every possible glow that Ves had utilized in the past!
Even a dangerous but incredibly promising glow like the one associated with the Aspect of Transcendence became accessible despite the fact that the organic statue was locked inside his workshop aboard the Spirit of Bentheim!
All of this meant that the circumstances of today could be repeated on many occasions!
