The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4812

The emergence of transphasic technology had led to a major upgrade of human technological capabilities.

Phasewater made everything better or stronger.

From the native aliens of the Red Ocean to the latest batch of pioneers who just passed through the greater beyonder gate, phasewater had become the most useful exotic to everyone.

Although humans were in the process of improving their many different applications of phasewater at a rapid tempo, the native aliens unquestionably mastered its uses to a much higher degree!

Even a relatively backwards and isolated race like the pescans had managed to refine their integration of phasewater in different forms of technology over many generations.

This gradual process of iterative improvements along with occasional exposure to more advanced transphasic products utilized by the nunsers allowed the pescans to make good use out of the small amounts of phasewater they were allowed to use for themselves.

The aliens invested much resources and effort into developing the four giant battle suits.

Each of them had originally been designed to guard the great chief of the native city state of Davute during formal addresses and other important events.

Though the speed and mobility of these towering metal suits were extremely poor, their defensive and offensive power more than made up for these shortcomings!

When combat constructs reached this size and scale, they no longer fit the definition of infantry suits anymore.

Although they had not quite reached the scale of mechs, they straddled the line between infantry and combat vehicles!

Even though an ordinary mech should be able to crush these thick and lumbering alien suits of armor, it was a bit too much to ask for a single swordmaster to defeat all of them at once.

This circumstance clearly showed how extraordinary warriors such as swordmasters could put so much work and effort into becoming strong, only to get surpassed by crude products of technology that only performed better by virtue of being a lot bigger!

Of course, Ketis was still a relatively junior swordmaster who was separated from her preferred equipment, but it rankled her a lot that four transphasic shield generators stood in the way between her and her latest opponents!

Her sword shimmered with stars as she continuously slashed them against the active energy shields in the way.

Even though Venerable Dise's Phase Cutter technique allowed Ketis to destabilize the transphasic energy shields with remarkable effectiveness, the alien shield generators possessed a surprising amount of capacity for resisting damage.

Ketis estimated that it would take around a dozen strikes to overcome an energy shield, and that still left her with three more that she also had to destroy!

"Break for me, already!" _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

The glittering points of light that struck the energy shield in the way had been gradually corroding the energy shield before her. Just as it was close to breaking apart, the damaged shield in question reduced its range, causing it to make way for a fresh and undamaged energy shield!

"What?!"

By pulling back the damaged energy shield, the giant battle suit that projected it could calmly restore its integrity and make it as good as new with much less trouble.

In the meantime, the energy shield projected by another giant battle suit could easily resist just as many attacks!

As Ketis slashed her sword against the energy shield, she felt more and more helpless as the aliens performed the same trick yet again.

A third energy shield stood in her way as the second one moved back so that it could recover to its original state.

"So this is why there are four of them." Ketis frowned as she hastily evaded three incoming laser beam attacks. "They are designed to work in unison!"

Their design and configuration clearly reflected that. So long as neither Ketis nor any other enemies were able to punch through multiple transphasic energy shields in quick succession, these dastardly giant battle suits would be able to rotate their regenerating energy barriers on a continuous basis!

While the energy required to power these transphasic energy shields was considerable, much of the bulk of these giant suits were dedicated to keeping them running.

The protection offered by their armor was not as much as the protection granted by their energy shields!

This fit with the trend of the Red Ocean. Only relatively poor states and organizations relied on armor to protect their assets from attacks. It was a lot more efficient and convenient to rely on strong energy shields instead!

"We can't go on like this!" Ketis cursed. "We need a better way to breach these energy shields. Do you have any trick up your sleeve, Lucky?!"

"Meeeeeooow!" Lucky whined and complained as he attempted to fend off a batch of reinforcements that had just arrived from afar.

Transphasic technology was his nemesis. The gem cat could easily kill any other soldier that made use of powerful tech and equipment, but once they made use of transphasic defenses, the cat instantly lost his biggest advantage which was the ability to phase through solid matter!

Since the entire prison structure was made out of hardy transphasic stone, Lucky couldn't even use his other favorite tactic which was lurk underneath the floor until he was able to position himself right underneath his next target.

As Ketis momentarily stepped away in order to evade another round of attacks, her intuition suddenly screamed out in alarm!

Her life was under threat!

Time seemed to slow as her glowing sword had just cut through the neck of another elite soldier.

She discovered that all four giant battle suits aimed their shrapnel cannons right in her direction.

"Your own comrades are in the way!"

More pescan soldiers had come to suppress her, which gave Ketis the illusion that the aliens would still be reluctant to commit friendly fire.

The aliens turned out to be a lot more ruthless than she thought!

Though the pescans in the way were just starting to turn back and retreat, Ketis had no doubt that many of them would get implicated by this cruel attack!

The realization that four different shrapnel guns were about to flood the entire space around her with lethal shards of transphasic metal sent her blood pumping harder than ever.
