The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4011

Chapter 4011 Blooming Lotus

After an hour of sculpting and shaping the spiritual firearm, Ves and Blinky finally put their finishing touches to the Death Lotus, breathing more life into it so that the remarkable construct completely came together!

Helena looked fascinated as Ves demonstrated the power of creation before her eyes. Though he made it look easy, her nature as a spiritual entity and one that was sensitive to both life and death allowed her to observe many mysterious phenomena!

"Our mothers were right. Ves is truly a talent when it comes to breaking rules!"

Though life and creation wasn't a part of her domain, Helena nonetheless derived several profound insights from seeing Ves at work. While it would take a lot of time for her to process her gains and convert them into real enhancements, she already saw new ways to develop and apply her death domain!

She already affirmed her decision to pay more attention to Ves. If she can harvest a few insights whenever he employed his power of creation, she would definitely be able to take off and catch up to her mothers!

Meanwhile, Ves finally relaxed when he verified that his attempt to create a living spiritual firearm had succeeded!

"Great work, Blinky. Can you check it one more time to see whether it is in the right state?"

Mrow!

Blinky dove forward and circled the floating pistol. The cat did not detect any traces that needed to be corrected. The Death Lotus largely conformed to its original design!

Mrow mrow.

"That's great. You can get back now. I'll take it from here." Ves said as he carefully picked up his new weapon.

He did not underestimate its danger and made sure to follow the basic safety rules while handling his new gun.

While he was pretty confident in his own spiritual defenses, he did not want to see what would happen if he actually pulled the trigger while he was looking straight down the muzzle!

For a moment, he admired his own handiwork. Though the Death Lotus had not become a masterwork, he was impressed by the quality and refinement of his first true spiritual firearm.

The spiritual parts all looked proper and the surface appearance of the gun looked even more charming than he envisioned. It appeared that when the Death Lotus gained life, it was already predisposed towards strengthening its beauty.

Perhaps the Death Lotus was already smart enough to know that its future was related to how much Helena appreciated her new weapon!

Certainly, the Death Lotus already succeeded in its objective. Helena looked starry-eyed at the new gun. What it lacked in ferocity, it made up for it with elegance. Its tasteful flower motif added a clear feminine touch to the gun without making it look as if it was a toy.

Ves mentally turned a switch that caused the Death Lotus to transform from its Pistol Mode to its Flower Mode.

"Ah!" Helena gasped with delight. "It looks even prettier in this form! I love the glow effect!"

The lotus flower turned black, but the subtle gray corona surrounding its shape made sure that it would not go ignored!

As Ves studied the Death Lotus in its dormant form, he could feel that he was holding the equivalent of a bomb made out of death energy. Holding it was no different from holding a plasma grenade!

The only person who could hold it safely was Helena, who was its sole intended user. Others who managed to get their hands on the Death Lotus for whatever reason would quickly be met with a nasty surprise if they tried anything!

Of course, the Death Lotus was still knowledgeable enough to recognize that certain close family members such as himself and his mothers should be exempt from its theft countermeasures.

"Can I… can I hold it, brother?" Helena hungrily asked.

"Hold on for a moment. This is not a toy. I don't want you to go off shooting this weapon in a random direction. The chances are high that the death beam that you'll be able to discharge will kill a lot of innocent Larkinsons in its path!"

Ves did not want to take any risks with this potent new weapon! Given Helena's excitement and relative youth, he felt it was irresponsible to hand over his present right away.

He decided to take a short trip into space. He did not want to remain close to his fleet while he tested a weapon that should theoretically be powerful enough to kill a dark god!

He instructed his staff to prepare his shuttle for departure. He also called for a squad of Battle Criers as well as Venerable Joshua and the Everchanger to accompany him out into space.

"Hmm, maybe I should take Jannzi as well."

Ves briefly considered this option before he decided it was better not to do anything too extravagant in the Davute System.

Ves carried the Death Lotus to the hangar bay and hopped inside his shuttle without giving Helena a chance to play with the weapon.

Naturally, the Daughter of Death was quite peeved about that. She resentfully stared at her overcautious brother while hugging Lucky against her chest.

"Hmph! Who do you think I am? I'm not a baby, you know! I know how to handle weapons responsibly!"

Ves threw a skeptical glance in her direction. "You are technically only a day old, you know. Even my daughter Aurelia is older than you! Let alone a gun, you shouldn't be allowed to handle a knife."

"I'm a god, not a mortal! We are born differently!"

"Whatever you say, baby."

"Idiot brother." Helena grumbled.

"Meow!" Lucky concurred as he did not hesitate to take the gray lady's side.

The armored shuttle flew out of the Spirit of Bentheim and slowly headed towards the perimeter of the expeditionary fleet's patrol range.

The orbit of Davute VII was quite busy. Thousands of ships had settled into different orbits while thousands more traveled back and forth in order to fuel the planet's booming economy.

Fortunately, space was incredibly vast, so there weren't any fleets or ships that were uncomfortably close to the expeditionary fleet.

After reaching a distance that was far enough from the main fleet, Ves ordered the shuttle to make a relative stop. He then instructed the crew to deploy several specialized jamming beacons that the clan had acquired during a previous procurement round.

The jamming beacons were all quality products that could form a fairly powerful localized jamming field that was enough to scramble and block nearly all forms of observations.

However, Ves wasn't satisfied with employing just a single measure.

"Deploy the blocking screens."

The Bright Warriors piloted by the Battle Criers all brought out large sheets of flexible material and folded it out to envelop the shuttle in a giant metallic 'tent'.
