The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4821

The more Ketis utilized her newfound might, the harder it became to resist the allure of heaven.

She keenly fell in love with the versatility and pliability of heavenly energy.

Although its ability to hold an edge was decidedly mediocre, this powerful form of transcendent energy could do so much else that it was hard not to take advantage of such potential.

Her impression of the Heavensword also changed a lot as a result.

It became less of a sword and more of a magic wand in her eyes.

It could become as hot as plasma or as cold as a rogue planet.

It could strike a nearby foe with enormous power or assassinate a target on the other side of a planet.

It could speed up time or slow it down.

It could teleport vast distances or lock down an area to prevent anyone from employing the same ability.

It even claimed that it could resurrect the dead!

The list of what it could theoretically do exceeded the list of what it couldn't do! It was so damn omnipotent that Ketis could easily get lost in all of the possibilities.

It was a pity that Ketis was the wrong kind of sword practitioner to wield such an infinite blade.

She learned from the ancient relic that one of the requirements she had to meet was to imprint the image of heaven in her mind and infuse it with her willpower.

This act of visualization would steadily allow her to manifest a small piece of heaven in her deepest self!

By orienting her entire being towards heaven, she could artificially influence her development to the point where she might truly become a proper inheritor of the Heavensword!

The advantages this bestowed were too many to count. So long as Ketis developed the right 'artistic conception' or whatever that meant, she could not only understand what heaven was all about, but make proper use of the greater and more advanced possibilities of the Heavensword!

Ketis never gave in to the temptation. No matter how attractive it may be to take the Heavensword as her own, she was a mech designer as well as a swordmaster.

She much preferred to forge and utilize her own grand work weapon. If she had the power to do so, she would definitely rely on her own work as opposed to a sword created by a long-dead smith.

Besides, switching to become a successor of the Heavensword came with a lot of irreversible changes. Ketis gained a premonition that accepting transformation would cause her to lose Sharpie in its current form.

That was unacceptable to Ketis!

"Heaven sounds like a nice place, but… I am too attached to this reality to yearn for a different one."

As such, the Heavensword only had a limited ability to pull off all of those feats without her support, and even then it only gave her a small taste of how it could affect reality.

For example, when the pescans sneakily transported a large missile carrier from the upper floor and made it fire its full salvo of transphasic siege missiles, Ketis only swung her weapon a single time to capture all of the threatening warheads in a zone where time progressed a hundred times slower!

If Ketis had decided to intercept these heavy missiles by cutting them with a vibrating sword attack, then she could not guarantee that their exaggeratingly powerful warheads would explode prematurely.

That would have been devastating to both the humans and the pescans on this floor!

A lot more pescans would have died as a result, but Ketis could not accept the loss of any further human life!

She swung her sword yet again.

This time, the missiles that the aliens originally designed to break through the defenses of another city-state regained their normal speeds.

The difference was that they flew in the opposite direction!

The missiles flew so fast that the pescans barely had time to realize the danger heading in their direction.

"Reeeeiiaaa—"

BOOOOOMBOOOOOMBOOOOOMBOOOOOM!

Deafening sounds of explosions engulfed the already ruined floor as the missiles not only destroyed their carrier, but also everything else in a wide spread!

If not for the fact that the missiles were configured for penetrating walls and energy shields rather than destroying as many structures as possible, the entire floor would have turned into an explosive furnace by this time!

Even so, the shockwaves produced by the continuous explosions were so violent that they threatened to push all of the humans on this floor off their feet and slam them against the walls!

Ketis hastily swung the Heavensword once again. A large force field sprung to life that did not entirely negate the strong concussive forces, but managed to weaken them to the point where they only gave people a moderate push.

If her previous attacks had already slain over a thousand pescans and destroyed much of the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the defending side, then what had just taken place completely destroyed ability to resist!

The transphasic siege missiles had done their job and blown out large chunks of transphasic stone from the floor and walls.

Unfortunately, their indiscriminate power had done more harm to the pescans than the humans.

Every single alien combatant and structure on the side where the missiles originally came from had been devastated!

Nothing was left intact on the other side. The destruction was so utterly thorough and complete that it looked like the aftermath of a warzone.

The floor had been conquered at this point.

Though many hundreds of pescans still managed to survive the simultaneous explosions due to the size of this floor, they had all lost their confidence in this battle.

Their morale had hit rock bottom when they all witnessed the varied means of the 'human goddess'.

From their perspective, Ketis had been toying with them from the beginning!

Against an opponent that could power up to a massive degree and display many different abilities that had little to do with each other, these humble planet-bound aliens could not even muster the will to lift their arm cannons anymore.

"Reeaiiiaee…"
