The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4919

Did Ves have a way of empowering Venerable Irene Mox?

He certainly did. He was both a mech designer and a spiritual engineer.

Even if his clan didn't exist and even if none of his design spirits had assumed their roles in this time period, he still had several ways to even the odds and give the Quillims a fighting chance to win the crucial battle!

He just needed to think carefully on what he was willing to expose. The debacle centered around the Vulcan Empire had taught him a painful lesson on how even the smallest and more careless actions might produce massive repercussions in the far future!

Ves quickly went over his possible options.

"There is not much point in upgrading the Iron Hedgehog's design and turning it into a living mech. The people here won't let an expert pilot mess around and there isn't much time for me to implement too many changes anyway."

Irene needed an immediate boost in battle power. Changing her Iron Hedgehog would do the opposite as she needed at least a few days to understand its altered parameters and work them into her fixed routines.

The Quillims couldn't afford to wait that long!

This was why Ves turned to human transformation. He happened to know a thing or two about that, but he had never augmented a pilot as strong as Venerable Irene Mox.

Any operation he performed on Irene would have massive and irreversible consequences to the woman who would eventually become known as the Destroyer of Worlds.

His efforts could easily cause her head to burst like a balloon if he made a mistake!

However, Ves quickly set all of these fears aside.

He would normally never contemplate such a foolish and reckless act.

Yet because Divine Irene Mox was doing well 2 centuries from now, Ves was 100 percent sure that whatever crazy experiments he pulled off during this Mastery experience, the outcomes turned into a smashing success in the end!

Ves briefly became excited at the reminder his future knowledge functioned as a cheat answer.

His concerns about hurting or impairing Irene to the extent that she was no longer able to fight as effectively in this battle became moot.

This was because if his measures failed, Irene was unlikely to survive this battle and live long enough to acquire the title of the Destroyer of Worlds!

Now, all he needed to do was convince Venerable Irene Mox that it was in her best interest to accept a drastic, life-altering augmentation from talking purple ghost cat.

…Maybe he needed to put a bit more effort in his attempt.

Blinky quietly showed up again. The cat's appearance inside the cockpit pulled Irene out of her intense study session.

"I appreciate all you have done, cat, but you are interrupting my work. If you cannot contribute anything useful, then please stay out of my way."

"Don't be so quick to dismiss what I have to offer, mrow. You should at least hear me out before you reject what I wish to propose. I cannot guarantee it will have a great effect at the start, but I can assure you that it will strengthen you in ways you can never imagine, especially later on when you have time to grow into your power."

The closeness between Ves and Irene caused the latter to take his words seriously, at least for the time being.

"Explain."

Blinky smiled while swishing his tail. "I am able to perform a secret method that can bestow new powers to individuals. Have you ever wanted to learn where I came from, Irene? Well, here is your answer. I am a product of this method."

That caused Irene to raise her eyebrows!

"You… originally came from another human? That… explains much. No wonder you are so good with technology. You were sourced from a mech designer."

"Mrow, what a clever girl! You deserve a prize! Would you like to acquire a helpful cat like myself?"

"How does getting a cat help me fight the Bontues?"

"I cannot tell you that." Blinky seriously responded. "Every cat is different, and each of them have different ways of empowering their progenitors. I cannot foresee the outcome, but I believe it will undoubtedly provide you with a lot of help in the coming battle, but only if you are able to endure the pain and other side effects."

He was making a lot of demands, but he conveyed so much confidence and sincerity that Irene felt attracted by the strange cat's promises.

Blinky had been nothing but helpful since he appeared. While his agenda, his origin and his reasons for assisting her were completely unclear, she intuitively sensed that the cat remained on her side.

At the very least, Blinky was not her adversary. Whether he could be trusted was another matter.

Could she believe in his claims? Was Blinky proficient enough in this secret method to pull it off without any serious problems? Would the consequences of accepting this augmentation give her enough time to recover sufficiently enough to fight in the upcoming battle?

So many questions and doubts plagued her mind before her strong force of will decisively swept them away!

This was no time for doubts and procrastination. She had studied the data and intelligence reports and understood that the Quillims had a tough battle ahead of them. Her Iron Hedgehog was not enough to overcome the dramatic numerical disadvantage.

Defeating the Bontue vanguard troops that were advancing on New Kreon at this moment mattered above anything else! Only by stopping these enemies would she be able to give her comrades on the ground a realistic chance of evacuating from this doomed star system!

"Very well." Irene said as she forcibly pressed down her discomfort. "Do what you must. I shall do whatever I can to cooperate."

Blinky smiled with satisfaction. "You won't regret it, though probably not at first. What I am about to do next will hurt you a lot. This is because to create a cat comparable to myself, I need to cut a piece of your 'soul' and breathe life into it so that I can shape it into a cat. Don't worry. While the cat will gain intelligence, your new companion will still be tied to you. It will be like having a second personality."

Irene had so many questions that she didn't know where to begin.

"This 'companion'... is supposed to make me stronger?"

"Yes, but as I have told you before, I cannot completely say how. I will have to 'operate' on you before I have a better idea. I can promise you that I will do my best to empower you in the short term. Your willpower shall be the medium in which you can enhance the might of your cat. Countless enemies shall tremble in the terror of your companion's power!"
