The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4234

Ves could think about possibly replicating Lucky's gems in the distant future. The 'tech' involved in this incredibly deep and profound process was probably anything but simple!

He instead turned his thoughts towards his more immediate concerns.

If he had a choice, he would have preferred not to utilize any of these gems.

Considering Lucky's continued lack of productivity, the supply of gems was truly too low to satisfy all of his needs.

Their greatest value lay in their ability to elevate the quality of a mech past the masterwork threshold. This was the most critical usage of these gems, and the more powerful their effect, the greater their ability to transform what would otherwise be a serviceable mech into a stellar work of craftsmanship!

Aside from that, these gems could also provide his most important mech pilots a powerful boost in battle. Mechs such as the Amaranto and the Riot possessed considerably more combat power than they had any right to be due to the unusual gems he added to their construction!

Ves counted Patriarch Reginald as one of his friends, so he did not actually object too much to giving away such a valuable asset.

It was also clear that any of his gems would have the greatest effect on the most powerful individual mech in the Golden Skull Alliance.

Boosting the performance of any aspect by 30 to 50 percent would make a much more drastic difference if it was applied to an ace mech as opposed to an ordinary Bright Warrior mech!

Yet as Ves stared at the mysterious gems that had also caught the attention of Patriarch Reginald and Master Benedict, he hesitated whether he should go through with this step.

If the upcoming confrontation between the Mars and the Neo Amadeus represented a design duel between their respective mech designers, then Ves would have preferred it if he could win this contest by relying on his own design efforts.

Putting in a gem produced by his cat did not reflect his core design skill. It was an external object that enhanced the performance of a mech through a method that he did not understand and could not replicate through his own effort.

In other words, it was a cheat.

His honor and integrity as a mech designer detested the thought of relying on such a means to win a design duel.

Victory would have no meaning if Ves tainted the process with an external factor.

However, Ves quickly squashed this misguided sentiment to the back of his mind.

So what if he was cheating?

So what if the improvement provided by Lucky's gem was not strictly honorable?

This was war!

There was no place for fairness on the battlefield!

Ves had overcome so many adversities and vanquished over so many opponents because of his willingness to use any means possible to gain advantages over his enemies.

If the upcoming clash between ace mechs was part of a formal design duel, then Ves probably wouldn't have tainted his integrity as a mech designer through this method.

Yet just because he equated it to a design duel did not mean this was actually the case!

The battle at the top needed to be won at all costs!

When Ves was about to put his life as well as the lives of his wife and children at stake, there was no excuse to deprive the Mars of a massive power-up.

He did not even object to relying on additional means to interfere with the duel and tilt the battle in the favor of his side.

For example, if the Sundered Phalanx was not able to match the expert mechs of the Golden Skull Alliance and the Hex Army, then Ves had no qualms about ordering Venerable Davia Stark and Venerable Isobel Kotin to attack the Neo Amadeus from a distance!

Even if an ace mech was easily able to repel the attacks from the Amaranto and the Promethea, if the distraction caused Saint Jeremiah to split at least 5 percent of his attention and power to fending off the incoming energy attacks, then that was more than worth the effort!

Ultimately, his responsibility as a leader compelled him to use one of his precious gems on the Mars.

The stronger the Mars, the greater the chance it could defeat the Neo Amadeus. Once Patriarch Reginald won this duel, he could instantly let loose on the expert mechs and the ordinary troops of the Sundered Phalanx, harvesting hundreds of enemy machines with each passing second!

As an ace hybrid mech, the Mars was actually much more comfortable with slaughtering tides of weaker opponents!

In addition to rolling over the mech units of the Sundered Phalanx, the Mars could unleash its great offensive might against the titan shields that protected the critical space stations of the Kosic Ring.

Once the Mars was able to break them all open in quick succession, the orbit of Pima Prime V would no longer be able to offer as many defensive advantages to the defending forces!

The sooner all of this took place, the shorter the time that the expeditionary fleet got exposed to deadly fire.

Many Larkinsons including Ves and his family no longer risked calamity at this point.

Considering that his very life was at stake, Ves no longer had any objections to this course of action.

What Ves was more concerned about right now was how he could possibly explain his intentions. These gems defied reality to such a degree that it could shake up the entire mech industry if everyone learned of their existence!

By now, both Reginald and Benedict had come close enough to get a good glimpse of the four shiny gems.

Neither of them were average people. As people who had come much closer to hitting the ceiling of a pre-divinity life form, their perception and intuition were much stronger than that of average people!

"What did you bring out, Ves?" Master Benedict asked. "From the way your demeanor has changed, I surmise that they do not merely serve a decorative purpose."
