The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4926

Woosh!

The Time Gate swirled until Ves and Blinky finally returned to the System Space!

The mysterious construct that had enabled them to go all the way back to 197 AOM in the old galaxy slowly started to wind down and return to dormancy.

Even though Ves had returned to the time of his present, he still felt a lingering attachment to that earlier and more hopeful time period.

The mechs at the time were a bit simpler. The Red Ocean was just one of many dwarf galaxies that orbited the Milky Way at an unimaginable distance.

The Larkinsons in the Bright Republic struggled to grow their family in vain as the founding families deliberately prevented other groups from rising above their stations.

The Polymath wasn't even alive in this early time period!

Alas, Ves did not belong to this time period. If he truly had to make a choice, then he would definitely embrace his present time.

The opening of the Red Ocean played a massive role in his rise and success. The opportunities of the new frontier had allowed him to compete on a more level playing field and harvest many benefits that would normally be robbed by other people after too much time had passed!

As Ves regained his original mentality and recalled all of the issues that were on his mind before he passed through the Time Gate, he slowly got rid of his momentary disassociation.

He turned around and swept his gaze across the dreamy and idyllic mountain landscape. He spent time on this little 'vacation'. It was time for him to get back to work.

Before he exited the System Space, he briefly called out Blinky. The companion spirit dove out of his head.

The Star Cat did not look as if he was about to explode due to swallowing a food that was too strong to be contained!

Mrow mrow mrow.

"I can sense that as well. It appears that the System Space is quite isolated from our main reality."

This was good news. The last thing Ves wanted to do was expose an extension of a god pilot to the current environment!

"Mrow~"

As Blinky carefully coughed up the spiritual fragmented that he harvested from Emma, the crystallized energy glowed like an explosion that was frozen in time.

The power and potency of this fragment was nothing impressive to be honest. The only remarkable aspect about it was that the infusion of Venerable Irene Mox's willpower had imbued it with a greater capacity to affect reality than normal.

Ves did not dare to bring it out into reality, at least not in its current form.

He had no idea what would happen if he took Irene's spiritual fragment in the same reality where the Destroyer of Worlds currently resided.

The most destructive god pilot was still stationed at the border between human space and numerous threatening alien empires somewhere in the galactic center.

Her power and deterrence factor was the greatest out of all of the existing god pilots, so it was logical for her to be stationed in this region.

Divine Irene Mox had also become a guardian of the New Rubarthan Empire at this point, so it was also more convenient for her to reside within the borders of her current state.

Despite being physically separated from the god pilot by several hundred-thousand light-years, Ves had no confidence that he would be able to avoid attracting her attention if he took out the long-lost piece of Emma!

He could not guarantee that Divine Irene Mox would 'reconnect' with the spiritual fragment and cause it to transform to the point where it became a direct medium for her to extend her will and consciousness!

Ves did not want to reconnect with her for the time being!

Not only was he afraid of exposing truths that he would rather wish to remain confidential, he also did not want to lose too much control.

The power difference between the two was too great. Ves was a complete nobody in front of a sacred and all-powerful god pilot.

Even if Ves had great potential, he was still a Journeyman Mech Designer that had a long way to go before he could become a galaxy-shaking figure.

In contrast, the Destroyer of Worlds commanded the respect of the entire New Rubarth Empire!

She also wielded a huge amount of influence within the highest offices of the Mech Trade Association.

Even if her direct authority was rather limited, she most definitely befriended dozens of god pilots and Star Designers. She could do almost anything as long as she took advantage of her amazing network of contacts!

As for Ves, he might enjoy a little special attention from the Polymath, but that was far from receiving her direct protection. His backing was still too weak in the face of a god pilot.

There was no way that Ves wanted to give up all of the initiative and hand over complete control to his 'friend'. It was best if he pretended that he did not know her at all. As for Blinky, he could keep using his companion spirit to assist in his design work like before.

"Let's not be too hasty with this spiritual fragment." Ves decided. "I need to form a proper plan before I can properly make use of this valuable ingredient."

There was no question about the exceedingly high value of this spiritual ingredient. It was practically begging to be turned into a design spirit!

Now that he settled his thoughts on the matter, he descended down the steps and deposited the spiritual fragment in the Vault of Eternity.

He hadn't been certain whether it could do more than store material objects. Fortunately, it accepted the spiritual fragment without any rejection.
