The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3896

Chapter 3896 Bloody Canvas

From the moment the Everchanger lit up in a different fashion than before, the course of the battle had completely changed!

Up until this point, the elite Phaser fish-whales utilized their various advantages to steadily gain the upper hand in this battle.

With both the future of the Phase Kingdom and their personal stashes of phasewater at risk, the Phasers had every reason to fight as ferociously and with as much desperation as possible!

Retreat wasn't in their consideration as they utilized their rich phasewater abilities and good coordination to defeat the thieves that stole their bounty.

With the advantage of numbers, these motivated Phasers were beating the coalition of mechs and Evolvers at a steady rate.

The casualties that had fallen were littering the space between landmasses. Bloody chunks of fish-whale flesh along with broken pieces of metal from fallen mechs continued to fling out into every direction.

Many of them would float for years before eventually getting attracted by the low gravity of the various asteroids.

If the battle proceeded normally without any unforeseen mutations, then there was little that the Evolvers and the human forces could do to stop their defeat!

Perhaps Ves and a number of men could still escape and return to Fort Fishblood if they all retreated while leaving behind their stolen prizes.

The Phasers cared the most about getting back their phasewater, after all. The containers that held them needed to be secured at all costs.

However, the phasewater trapped in the containers only constituted a part of the stolen treasure. The Cerebral King along with many other Evolver fish-whales had observed many kilograms of the substance, and each of them had to be defeated before the Phasers could retrieve their original belongings!

This was also why the Phasers exhibited so much brutality towards their old enemies. Each and every Evolver fish-whale that fell at their hands inevitably got torn to pieces by the vengeful and voracious beasts.

The other fish-whale subspecies did not shy away from the cannibalism that the Swarmers showcased most prominently. A bloody feast occurred whenever another giant body had fallen.

A number of Phasers even mistook mechs as viable meals!

A lot of mech pilots grew sick as they saw their enemies devouring the machines piloted by their fellow comrades.

So seeing the Phasers chew and swallow mechs as if they were snacks roiled everyone's imagination.

No one wanted to die in this fashion!

Fortunately, the Phaser fish-whales did not enjoy the taste of metal machinery, but that did not stop them from demolishing mechs in other ways!

A lot of mechs had already fallen, and there were many instances where the powerful and brutal Phasers did not even give the pilots the opportunity to eject from their cockpits!

As the conflict slowly went from bad to worse for the humans, the Everchanger's light produced a change that completely changed the game!

As the Aspect of Transcendence's glow affected every mech pilot in the light, those that had already come close to greatness in their own way had finally made the leap that they had been hoping to make for many years!

"What is happening?! Why are there so many breakthroughs?!"

"Hahahaha! I have become stronger than ever before! I'm going to be the next Venerable Joshua!"

"I can finally teach these Phasers a lesson!"

The mech pilots displayed a multitude of reactions towards the incredible phenomenon that they were witnessing.

No one had ever seen so many mech pilots break through their limits at once!

With around 500 mech pilots active in the fight, a whopping 27 of them had advanced from their previous stages!

Of the 27 mech pilots that succeeded in unlocking their hidden and normally-inaccessible potential, 22 of them had pierced the extraordinary threshold for the first time while 5 of them turned into full-blown expert pilots!

This translated to an effective breakthrough rate of around 5 percent, which was ridiculously high since most people put a lot of zeros in between the numbers for ordinary battles.

If any ordinary mech pilot learned that they had a 1 in 20 chance of advancing to expert candidate during every battle, then they would surely break down the Larkinson Clan's doors in an attempt to enter its ranks!

Although the amount of breakthroughs only consisted of a small proportion of the total number of mechs in battle, the explosive strength they demonstrated completely changed the momentum of the surviving elements of Task Force Fisherman!

The battle turned from a dangerous struggle for escape and survival into a bloody canvas that allowed for every mech pilot that had broken through to showcase their blooming potential!

No one appreciated and exulted in this opportunity more than Jessica Quentin and four of her comrades that had managed to fulfill the goal that they had set out to accomplish by participating in this crazy journey!

The heavy decision to leave the comfortable and protected ranks of the MTA and join an upstart second-class power was a desperate attempt to change their fate.

Unlike many other mech pilots, the twenty mechers were not resigned to living the rest of their lives as ordinary mech pilots.

Well-trained as they may be, they were not satisfied with piloting the best standard mechs that humanity had developed.

They wished to attain more strength! So much so that they had actively agreed to risk their lives in causes that were ordinarily beneath their notice.

Previously, Jessica and her colleagues entertained frequent doubts whether they had made the correct choice in agreeing to this odd arrangement.

The Larkinson Clan, though exceptional in many ways, were no closer to unlocking the secret to induce advancement than anyone else working on this problem.

For years, she had tolerated all of the inadequacies around her, from the relative lack of professionalism from the Larkinson mech pilots to the incomparably weak second-class mechs they relied upon to fight their battles.

It was only recently that they received a bit of attention, but up until now the Enlightened Warrior mechs did not impress her too much.

After all, the Quint or whatever was responsible for instructing her while piloting the mech constantly berated her and questioned her. If not for the promise of helping her achieve her breakthrough, she would have long ditched this annoying mech for a more normal one instead!

It was only now that she fully appreciated her mech.

"Avenge the fallen! Tear these fish-whales apart! Let none survive this battle!" _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
