The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4303

Patriarch Reginald Cross murdered his own ace mech!

Few people realized what had happened. The masses all became impressed by the visual spectacle generated by the Cross Patriarch.

Though it was true that Reginald attained a breakthrough of a sort by finding out a better way to harness his Saint Kingdom, only a handful of individuals understood how much had been sacrificed to enable the ace pilot to improve his ability to channel his strength through his ace mech!

"No!" Ves screamed, causing Lucky and many other officers on the bridge of his flagship to become confused.

,m "He killed it. He actually killed it. How could he do that?! The Mars is innocent!"

It was one thing to kill a living mech when it was as murderous and uncontrollable as the Titan-5 Project. No one wanted to see another Uranus unleash devastation on everyone and everything.

This was different, though!

Patriarch Reginald undoubtedly possessed the strength to keep his Mars under complete control. There was no way for his ace mech to rebel against its own master.

Though Ves did not like the fact that Reginald demeaned the personality of his own living mech and treated it like a slave, this was a better alternative than killing it outright!

This was the first time that Ves witnessed a deliberate act of murder against a living mech.

He was no stranger to seeing living mechs dying and losing their spiritual foundations. Mechs were war weapons that were designed to be used under dangerous circumstances. Casualties were inevitable.

When mechs fell apart in reality, they often died in spirit as well. This was the nature of life and reality so Ves did not feel bothered by this process.

However, what Patriarch Reginald had just done crossed a line that Ves could have never imagined that one of his customers or clients would ever do. The reason why he never accounted for this possibility was because it contradicted the core principles and ideals of his design philosophy.

In his heart, he always assumed that making mechs alive and imparting them with distinct personalities enriched the user experience.

His products always became better for it because they gained brand-new possibilities that enhanced their combat effectiveness.

Sure, the pilots had to build up a deep and intimate bond with their living mechs in order to realize most of those benefits, but that was always better than nothing!

It was this assumption and more that always made Ves blind to the idea that there were mech pilots that actually preferred if their mechs weren't alive.

In contrast to Ves' utter shock and dismay, his wife exhibited the opposite reaction.

Her eyes glowed brighter as her grin betrayed her total delight and jubilation.

Gloriana had become ecstatic when she saw that Patriarch Reginald had taken a different turn with his Mars!

Her projection directed a smug look towards him. "I told you, Ves. Not every mech pilot wants to buy into your dream of how they should treat their own mechs. There are many different personalities out there, and a large proportion of them simply aren't interested in sharing power. They have no desire for their mechs to turn into their family, their spouse, their pet or their bosom buddy. All they ask from the mech industry is a machine that obeys their exact instructions and nothing more. If you had put more effort into understanding Patriarch Reginald's personality and asking him what he truly sought in his combat machine, then you wouldn't be looking like a fish out of water at this time."

At this time, the transformed Mars finally showed what it was capable of now that it had adopted its latest form!

The Mars seemed to echo and resonate with Patriarch Reginald in a radically different manner than before.

Previously, Reginald piloted the Mars as if he was a tiny human who was trying his best to operate a massive construct that was many times larger, heavier and more complex than his own body.

With the transformation of his Saint Kingdom and the takeover of his ace mech's spiritual foundation, Reginald essentially assumed direct control over its duties and powers!

In other words, Reginald was like a boss of a company who fired an incomponent employee so that he could do the job himself!

Though the man was forced to handle a lot more responsibilities as a result, as an ace pilot his data processing and decision-making capabilities had reached an incredibly amazing height!

Perhaps an expert pilot might have struggled under all of the load, but someone as superhuman as Patriarch Reginald easily adapted to all of the functions and options that a third order living mech used to be able to perform.

Now that Reginald had achieved an unprecedented degree of control over both the tangible and intangible properties of his Mars, he felt more powerful than ever!

There was no need for him to bargain with other personalities.

There was no need for him to borrow power from other alien entities.

There was no need for him to abide by the rules imposed by others.

Patriarch Reginald sought absolute sovereignty over his mech. Now that he got what he wanted, it was time for him to vindicate his choices and show off what he could do with a Mars that completely conformed to his will!

"I AM A GOD OF WAR!" Reginald boomed as his glowing red Mars unleashed a burning salvo of positron beams with its surviving energy weapon modules!

Even though his opponent had trashed almost half of the ARCEUS System, what was left was more than enough to inflict a heavy blow upon the Neo Amadeus!

The reason for that was because Reginald not only made his true resonance stronger after his latest epiphany, but also learned how to shape and harness it to a finer and more purposeful degree!

The energy beams all glowed in red as if Reginald's fury and confidence actually caused them to burn!

When these super-charged beams entered Saint Jeremiah's domain field, they largely held up and remained strong as the Fridayman ace pilot was no longer able to overpower his adversary as easily as before!

When the positron beams finally struck the Neo Amadeus without error, a powerful mini-volcano of different energies erupted on the torso of the ace mech.

The powerful salvo succeeded in overcoming the ace swordsman mech's spatial defenses and burned through the uppermost armor layer!
