The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4502

Ves did not know how long this lightning baptism was supposed to last.

He had the vague idea that it was far from done with enacting retribution for his many alleged misdeeds, but he could not guarantee that it would last long enough for him to go through his entire wish list.

This forced him to structure his list so that he could realize his most essential augmentations.

In order to do so, he first had to figure out what he wanted to improve the most.

"I'm a mech designer, so it makes sense that I improve my ability to design mechs."

This could be done through many ways, from inducing his altered Archimedes Rubal bioimplant to elevating its technical capabilities to installing a second cranial implant into his head!

However, Ves did not use the tools he retrieved from his Unending Regalia to drill a hole through his skull right away.

As much as he trusted in the lightning baptism to fix any damage that he inflicted on himself, he was not sure whether he could get back everything that he lost.

"It's like replacing a memory chip. If I destroy the chip, I can put it back together, but I won't be able to retrieve the data that it used to store."

What if poking around in his brain resulted in the loss of essential knowledge? What if he lost entire Skills and Sub-Skills because of his reckless actions? What if he lost the motor skills that allowed him to work with the tools he used to craft his mechs and products?

Ves couldn't afford to impair his mech design capabilities in any way, so he shied away from executing any plans that centered around manipulating his brain and spine!

It was disappointing for him to rule out the improvements he needed the most, but he recognized that he shouldn't be too greedy.

The ongoing lightning baptism had already boosted his design and research capabilities by a substantial degree. He was so far removed from the level of a typical Journeyman that there was no proper word to describe his current state.

He thought about other essential improvements that he could apply to himself. They had to be useful enough to matter but safe enough to avoid any permanent damage or reduction in capabilities.

He looked down at his missing lower left leg. Ves had repurposed a portion of his biomass in order to supply the organic parts for his cyborg cat, but who said that the sacrifice had to be permanent?

He originally intended to wait until the crisis back in reality had blown over before he commissioned a replacement leg from the Larkinson Biotech Institute.

However, now that he entered a unique situation where he had access to a constant supply of extremely high-grade creation energy, he was convinced he could do better!

"The question now is what I want in place of my missing lower leg?"

He could try to redirect the creation energy to regenerate his original leg. This was great for pretending that nothing had happened once he finally exited the System Space.

He immediately shook his head. "This is the most boring option."

He would much rather augment it in a way that made it much more powerful and much more useful than before. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

"The only question now is whether I want to make it mechanical, biological or both."

A biological leg would complete his body in a way that allowed his entire physical structure to improve in ways that corresponded to the evolutionary processes of the indigenous alien races.

The phase whales came to mind as they eschewed conventional technology in favor of biotechnology.

"There are good reasons for that. This is probably the orthodox method of transcending into godhood in the tradition of the Red Ocean."

Did he want to follow the indigenous tradition? Not really. It was foreign to him and did not match his inclinations. He was a mech designer, not a phase whale, and he needed to remember this essential truth.

When he listened to his heart, he developed a much more different idea on what he should do about his missing limb.

He glanced up at his cyborg cat that was still absorbing lightning attacks like a champ.

"The fusion between flesh and metal can often produce better results than sticking to one of them. The synergies that I can produce by combining their advantages of both may be a lot more useful to me. I just have to decide the focus of my cybernetic leg."

He wanted a limb that could aid in battle.

He wanted a limb that could help him survive difficult encounters.

He wanted a limb that could provide helpful assistance in his attempts to either design or build his works.

"I know what to do." He declared.

He wasted no further time. He picked up his tools and began to rip off armor plating and other parts from his Unending Regalia.

He tried to take away as little as possible. He did not take away too much material as he just wanted enough to be able to set a direction.

"Now for the biological ingredients."

He no longer needed to use his knife to cut away parts of his flesh anymore. Part of the evolutionary process that he had undergone was gaining much more active control over his body.

He concentrated hard to the point where the stump of his left leg started to squirm.

"Ahhh. This hurts!"

A leg bone slowly poked out of his stump as Ves tried his best to cannibalize his own biomass to regenerate his leg piece by piece!

Even though he only possessed a shallow understanding of how a human leg and foot was put together, Ves only needed to supply the intent in order for the creation energy to shape the available biomass into an intricate biological structure.

As for the flesh and bone that Ves had cut away from the existing parts of his body? The creation energy that coursed through his flesh and bones slowly regrew the parts he had taken away.

"Hahahaha!"
