The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4197

The power of the Heart of Steel Mantra could not be overstated.

This was a method that fully justified its claim of being able to transform mortals into True Gods!

From the perspective of a mech designer and a spiritual engineer, Ves found the Heart of Steel to be one of the most exquisite and brilliant spiritual constructs that he had ever seen.

Its intricate harmony and its extremely refined methods of absorbing and transforming energy displayed a level of spiritual engineering that was far beyond his understanding.

Even so, Ves believed that he could learn a lot of ingenious tricks as long as he studied the design of the Heart of Steel for a time!

"The best part about it is that this is just the initial form. Once Vulcan is able to grow stronger with his new mantra, he will automatically evolve the Heart of Steel into an even more sophisticated spiritual construct!"

The Heart of Steel did not organically grow stronger like the living spiritual products that Ves tended to make. The mantra learned by Vulcan essentially possessed a complete blueprint that allowed the design spirit to upgrade his new heart step by step.

It was similar to buying a basic home and steadily renovating it so that the house became larger and more luxurious over time.

The process of upgrading its initial form into its final and most powerful state could take an incredibly long time!

With everything that Ves had learned from the System, he recognized that the Heart of Steel had become Vulcan's new Divine Core.

The strength and qualities of the Divine Core directly determined what Vulcan could do as an up-and-coming spiritual entity.

The better the Divine Core, the stronger its holder would become!

As the transformation settled down, Ves patiently studied the new spiritual construct and picked up a lot of interesting details.

For one, the trace of high-end metal energy that Vulcan had preserved all of this time had truly integrated into his being this time!

While it was still too powerful and high-end for him to harness directly, the Heart of Steel had smoothly turned it into the core of its new existence.

This suggested that Vulcan should probably be able to make much better use of the metal energy than before!

"Now that Vulcan has directly added a bit of pure metal energy into his new heart, his affinity and closeness to metal should have gained a substantial boost!"

Ves wasn't able to test this new effect while he was still residing in the System Space, but he eagerly planned to see what Vulcan could do with his new Heart of Steel as soon as he returned to reality.

The Heart of Steel possessed a lot of other powerful and useful functions. As the mantra that spawned it was mainly aimed at turning talented humans into powerful battle-oriented True Gods, Vulcan had become a lot more powerful in a fight!

Of course, Ves had no intentions of ever risking him in an actual battle against anyone.

Unless a confrontation couldn't be avoided, it was best for Ves and his design spirits to avoid repeating the mistakes of the dark gods.

The main reason why stupid entities such as the Unending One and the Inexorable One had lost their lives after clinging to existence after many eons was because they put themselves at risk in order to win a battle that they didn't need to fight in the first place!

"It's better to leave the fighting to grunts and more specialized combatants."

Ves had already learned that high-ranking mech pilots paired with the right mechs were much more powerful than any spiritual entity at the same level.

Their immense willpower and indomitable nature made expert pilots, ace pilots and god pilots extremely resistant to any spiritual shenanigans. Their resonance-empowered attacks were also extremely difficult to mitigate by those whose wills were not as strong, so people like Patriarch Reginald Cross could probably beat up Vulcan in an instant if his incarnation dared to manifest in full form.

Ves shook his head. "Just treat all of that combat stuff as insurance, Vulcan. What you should be focusing on instead is to keep improving your understanding of craftsmanship and technology. Don't get distracted by any vain desires to become a warrior. True Gods are already outdated as far as combat is concerned."

The Five Scrolls Compact would have never been beaten black and blue by the MTA if their old and powerful transcendents were worth a damn in a fight!

The combination between a god pilot and a god mech sounded so strong that Ves could hardly imagine that anything else could defeat them unless the advantage of numbers was overwhelming.

Though Ves wanted to spend several straight days on studying Vulcan's new heart and condition, he still had two more radiant lottery tickets to go through.

"You can go and acclimate to your new condition. Don't be in a hurry to cultivate the mantra further. If you make your Heart of Steel stronger, I'm afraid that you will compromise your desire to create."

"You don't need to tell me that, laddie!" His bearded dwarven self raised his fist. "Craftsmanship is in my blood! How can I call myself the God of Craftsmanship if I don't utilize a heart of my own creation? I already have an idea on how to design a more fitting variant."

Once Vulcan went back to wherever he belonged, Ves drew his third radiant lottery ticket and paused for a moment.

"I think I've obtained enough enlightenment fruits this time. There are so many of them that it will take a while for me and my people to digest them all. There is plenty of new knowledge that I want to study."

Although knowledge was both powerful and incredibly helpful in increasing his comprehensive strength in the medium and long term, Ves also needed to upgrade his more immediate capabilities in order to give him additional security.

"Let's go for a useful material this time."

He managed to obtain a modest quantity of Black Demon Steel from a golden lottery ticket. With the information that he currently possessed, he gained a bit more appreciation for this spiritually-reactive material.

If he could obtain an even more precious material, then he could truly boost his Unending Regalia to a greater height!

Ves briefly concentrated his mind and conveyed his latest desire to the Wishing Fountain. He then tossed the ticket into the fountain water and waited for it to resolve the lottery.

"C'mon. Give me a material that can make me more useful in different situations. It would be nice if you can give me an alloy that amplifies my spiritual exertions!"

The Wishing Fountain went to work as normal. The lightshow and theatrics were the same as before.

The only difference this time was that the fountain water unleashed a water spout that unveiled a new material instead of an enlightenment fruit!

He expected to receive a metallic substance such as an ore or a bar of refined alloy. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
