The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4403

The successful trial of the Instrument of Doom presented a fundamental change in the application and use of mechs.

Of course, Ves was not naive to think he was the first mech designer to break the limit of mechs.

This was far from the first time that a mech weapon was able to burst out with power that was far in excess of its size, technical design and material composition.

Ves had read articles in the past where other, more brilliant mech designers were able to transform junk into treasure through even greater feats of brilliance!

The Age of Mechs had persisted for over four centuries and the amount of mech designers working in the industry was too many to count. There were always a handful of inspired inventors among them who had succeeded in developing groundbreaking tech.

Ves believed his work was different, though.

The reason why he thought this way was because of several reasons.

Theoretically, he could turn anything into blessed equipment. The only requirement was to match a design spirit with the right sympathetic material.

He could only work with relatively expensive phasewater for the time being, but he was hopeful that he would find a different pairing that was based upon cheaper material!

For example, if Ves was able to match Vulcan with ordinary iron, then he could easily transform any mech or product into a blessed product without paying any extra!

The overall implications of his new invention was that it enabled mechs to make leapfrog challenges!

A standard mech might gain the power to threaten an expert mech.

An expert mech might gain the power to threaten an ace mech!

It was not impossible for a bunch of mechs to defeat a formidable warship by outputting damage that was far more potent than what their technical specifications could produce!

"This technology can change the entire mech landscape!" Ves exclaimed!

He was boasting a bit. The truth was that the blessed equipment concept suffered from a massive weakness that severely constrained their mass adoption.

The additional power channeled by the Gray Lotus and the Instrument of Doom did not emerge out of nowhere.

The law of conservation of energy still remained valid as far as Ves knew.

This meant that if either of those powerful guns suddenly became a lot more powerful, then there had to be another source that paid the price!

In this case, the design spirits footed the bill for every blessed attack.

Ves understood their situation quite clearly. Most of his design spirits had grown considerably over the years, but many of them were still at the start of their journeys.

They still had a long way to go to form a Divine Core and evolve into a post-divinity entity!

From what little clues that Ves had obtained from the System, it was only when a spiritual entity became a so-called True God that they ostensibly broke away from the confines of the law of conservation of energy!

In other words, True Gods were likely capable of producing an endless amount of energy!

This was how mythical existences such as god pilots were able to materialize any material, no matter how rare, by exerting their supreme willpower.

While this likely meant that True Gods could only produce so much matter or energy at a time, this still meant that they could support the usage of many more pieces of blessed equipment!

Ves could already envision a future where elite envoys wielded terrible power.

These chosen mech pilots became strong not by virtue of their own development, but because they were chosen by a higher power to act as their representative in the cosmos!

At first, Ves felt repelled by this possible vision of the future. Mech pilots ought to rely on themselves and seek to break their limits in order to attain greater strength.

Rather than surrendering themselves to other True Gods, they should step on the path to godhood just like many other strong-willed mech pilots!

It sounded as if Ves had inadvertently created an alternate path to wielding power, one that was easier and less demanding than trying to become a god pilot.

"Maybe it is possible to pursue both paths for a time, but there is ultimately a limit to how much you can borrow from another source."

Advancing to the rank of god pilot remained the ultimate pursuit for many mech pilots, but that didn't mean that blessed equipment had no place.

Far too few mech pilots possessed all of the qualifications necessary to make it to the end.

There were pilots that had taken the wrong turn, incurred too many injuries or exhausted all of their potential.

There were also warriors who had lost their heart in battle and wanted to focus on other pursuits such as spending time with family or growing a new company.

Whatever the case, these mech pilots had a need for greater strength as well, and these were the people who he could serve with his blessed products!

"Hm, if this is the case, then I shouldn't be making this stuff for my best and brightest expert pilots." Ves murmured as he rubbed his smooth-shaven chin. "I should be handing them out to mech pilots who I don't care about or have no hope of advancing too far such as Commander Melkor."

In this case, it was fine for Ves to hand Venerable Stark a weapon that relied on an external source to produce greater power.
