The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4375

After waiting for multiple years, Ves finally obtained a new batch of gems.

Was the delay worth it? That was questionable. The quantity of gems left a lot to be desired. The more gems he obtained, the greater his options. In addition, a larger reserve of gems allowed him to transform more high-quality mechs into masterwork mechs.

However, it was clear that Lucky's latest three gems were different from the ones he made before.

The most immediate factor that stood out was not their power but rather their suspected origins.

It did not escape his notice that their descriptions and effects were clearly related to a number of powerful individuals that he had recently encountered.

[King's Authority]

The authority of a fallen sovereign is locked within this gem. Increases the control of all transphasic parts of a mech by 100 percent.

This gem no doubt derived its power from the Phase King.

He found that to be odd because when the Golden Skull Alliance fought against this powerful fish-whale king and his lackeys, Venerable Vincent beat up the ancient exobeast so hard that Ves was able to harvest the Phase King's spirituality in a fairly whole state.

These days, the Phase King was doing pretty well for himself after Ves had converted his defeated opponent into a design spirit.

How was Lucky able to produce this gem, then? Did the cat quietly sucked up the loose bits of spiritual energy that the Phase King had shed upon his death?

Ves scratched his head in confusion.

"Whatever. It's not that important for me to understand what has happened. What I should actually be doing is figuring out how to best leverage this gem."

The System sight only provided him with a single sentence that explained how the gem would affect a mech under its influence. This was barely enough for Ves to figure out what it actually did to a machine.

"The Phase King was one of several powerful fish-whales that the creator of the Purgatory pocket space had brought to life inside a biolab." Ves recalled after a bit of time. "What is impressive about this batch of fish-whale kings was that they lived on long after the disappearance of the phase whale that created them. The Phase King and his brothers must have lived over a million years."

Eons had passed by while the Phase King, the Cerebral King, the Hive King and Fusion King divided Purgatory among themselves and fought intermittent wars against each other.

While each of these four kings likely didn't improve that much over time, they had each accumulated a scary amount of knowledge, experience and skill after experiencing the passage of so many years!

The King's Authority gem only captured a fraction of the Phase King's incredibly wisdom and understanding of phasewater manipulation, but that already encapsulated an immense degree of mastery!

Even 1 percent of the Phase King's understanding of phasewater manipulation was enough to revolutionize the performance of a transphasic mech!

Ves fully understood that the value of this gem was especially great in the early days of the introduction of phasewater technology!

At this time, humanity's understanding and depth of phasewater technology was still shallow. Though many researchers were able to gain a head-start by taking advantage of stolen alien knowledge and technology, they were still far from matching the ability of the likes of the phase whales.

Even if the Phase King was not a genuine phase whale, his incredibly long life allowed the once-powerful creature to develop an extremely impressive intuitive understanding of phasewater and how to bend it to his will!

Perhaps the Phase King's long-term isolation and lack of exposure to how phasewater was being utilized in the Red Ocean meant that the fish-whale king did not develop any advanced techniques, but Ves had no doubt that the sovereign mastered the more basic applications to an extremely powerful extent.

That was what made the gem so valuable to Ves. Humanity's familiarity and exploitation of phasewater technology was still at the level of a child in the eyes of the most powerful native aliens of the Red Ocean.

"With this gem, I can effectively turn a human mech pilot into a fish-whale when it comes to understanding and utilizing phasewater technology. The more transphasic systems the mech possesses, the more value this gem will generate!"

As such, the best mech that this gem should be used on was a machine that was infused with as much phasewater as possible!

The Mars was the most obvious candidate for this gem. It was the most powerful mech in the Golden Skull Alliance and with cutting-edge transphasic products such as the Abasis Armor and the ARCEUS System, it was loaded with enough phasewater to fund the acquisition of an entire fleet!

However, Ves already gave the Mars a gem, which didn't appear to be playing a major role these days now that Patriarch Reginald's overbearing willpower baptism had overridden its effects.

Since Lucky's gems appeared to work in an identical fashion to willpower baptism, Ves had learned that it was largely a waste to employ them in ace mechs or more powerful machines.

"I should put my gems to use in weaker mechs that will remain useful for a long time." Ves concluded.

The best way to utilize the King's Authority gem was to employ it into a fairly powerful mech that integrated a lot of phasewater. It would be best if it was a high-tier expert mech of the same caliber as the initial version of the Mars.

However, the Larkinson Clan had yet to obtain any high-tier expert pilots.

Those that were on track to reach this height in the coming decade or two already piloted powerful expert mechs that already benefited from their own gems.

"None of our new expert mechs are suitable either." Ves shook his head.

He already had plans for the Dullahan Project while the Ghost Project, the Greenaxe Project and the Bloodripper Project were all starter machines prepared for recently advanced expert pilots.

He sighed. "I guess this gem will be collecting a lot of dust."

Ves carefully put the large and glowing blue gem away in his secret pouch.

"Meow…"

At this time, the innocent-looking tiger-striped gem cat responsible for producing the gems had dozed off on a pillow.

"Miaow~"
