The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5113

Ves left Venerable Isobel Kotin to her own devices.

He possessed full confidence in her ability to quickly master the power of fire.

Out of all of the people in his orbit, there was no one who possessed an affinity for fire as high as hers! The strength and domain that she developed over the course of her piloting career had all been invested into deepening her fundamental closeness and compatibility towards fire.

Ves found this to be a fascinating process. Mech pilots essentially progressed through willpower cultivation by coming up with all kinds of self-fulling properties centered around themselves.

The sheer variety of mech pilots in human civilization led to an enormous diversity of high-ranking mech pilots.

There were pilots who liked to blow stuff up a lot, so the Destroyer of Worlds became really good at producing the most powerful explosions.

Ketis wanted to gain the power to cut everything, so Sharpie helped her enhance the sharpness of her blades to an extraordinary level.

Commander Casella Ingvar wanted to command and control her subordinates to a precise degree, so her ability to Commandeer mechs and mech pilots enabled her to direct them as if they were her own chess pieces.

All of these advantages and more came to life without the mech pilots knowing anything about cultivation science.

While the Kingdom of Mechs played a huge role making this process automatic, the general premise behind willpower cultivation was to turn the impossible into reality just by wishing for it really hard!

The power of human consciousness was truly impressive. It might not amount to much in normal times, but whenever a warrior was pushed to his limit, there was a small but realistic enough chance for that individual to break through that line and reach into an extraordinary domain!

Something like this was common in many cultivation methods, but it was especially prominent in willpower cultivation!

This was the key reason why talent and affinity never became a hindrance to mech pilots.

No matter how poor their starting points may be, as long as they piloted a decent mech and possessed adequate spiritual potential, they could always rely on their strong willpower to reshape their own image of themselves to better fit their ideals!

"It's a pity that there aren't many mech pilots under my command that are so strongly oriented towards one of the five elements." Ves sighed.

Mech pilots generally picked whatever they liked as the focus of their own power and domain. There was a huge variety of concepts for them to channel their power, and the five elements only consisted of a tiny proportion of all of the viable possibilities.

From Patriarch Reginald Cross' desire to dominate on the battlefield to Venerable Joshua's compassion for life, high-ranking mech pilots could turn any abstract concept into a form of combat power!

Not many mech pilots settled for excelling in concepts as basic as one of the five elements.

"Maybe I should change that for the Larkinson Army." Ves considered.

He briefly thought about founding a new mech legion that focused entirely on a single element.

The mech pilots would all be picked for their preference for an element and start to pilot mechs that were themed entirely around the dominant element.

In the long run, this would lead to the breakthroughs of many mech pilots who excelled in the same element. This not only made it easier to design similar expert mechs that all possessed the same kind of special features, but also enabled the expert pilots to learn from each other and combine their elemental abilities on the battlefield!

Ves quickly shook his head after he imagined the creation of such a powerful and distinctive mech legion.

"Our clan already has enough legions for the time being. We don't have the carrier capacity to take on thousands more mechs. Maybe I'll reconsider this idea in the future."

He and his clan did not have the time and resources to invest in such an endeavor. Ves needed to restrain his dreams and focus on his immediate situation.

There was a good reason why Ves contemplated the nature of a high-ranking mech pilot's power as he approached the Promethea.

After getting paired with Venerable Isobel Kotin, the living mech had been subjected to willpower baptism for an extended period of time.

Of course, the willpower baptism of a low-tier expert pilot did not amount to much, but a little transformation was better than nothing!

As Ves inspected the living mech with his spiritual senses, he could sense the growing imprint and influence that Venerable Isobel left onto the Promethea.

If the pair continued to work and fight together for a couple of decades, the Promethea truly had the potential to subtly evolve into an expert mech that was able to channel Isobel's power a lot more efficiently than normal!

The difference between a Promethea that had been partnering up with Isobel for decades and another copy of the Promethea that had just rolled off a production line would be massive!

Ves directed his attention towards the Ignitron Luminar Crystal Assault Rifle that he had developed specifically for the Promethea.

This was the key piece of equipment that he wanted to improve for the upcoming operation.

He did not have much time to do his work, so he had to find a way to quickly elevate the Promethea's combat effectiveness.

"This is quite an old weapon." He muttered.

The original version of the Ignitron was not transphasic. This was because he designed and built the Promethea in a time period where the Design Department was reluctantly able to apply third party transphasic armor systems to their high-end mechs, but could not turn to anyone to supply the corresponding transphasic luminar crystal weapons.

Ves had to do his own research in this area. He eventually managed to develop a working implementation of it, and used what he learned to develop the Instrument of Doom for the Amaranto, among other things.

He had yet to provide the same service for the Promethea because he originally intended to upgrade the entire Promethea in a single major revision.

"I can't wait that long anymore."

It might not be possible for Ves to transform the Ignitron into a transphasic luminar crystal weapon in a short amount of time, but he came up with a different idea on how to enhance its power!

He took control of a handful of heavy-duty bots and used them to take out and bring the Ignitron rifle to an adjacent workshop.

Though the workshop next to the hangar bay was not as well-equipped as his personal one, Ves did not intend to make heavy use of the equipment at hand.

Ves only needed a quiet place that was devoid of people in order to engage in spiritual engineering.

He predicted that what he was about to do next might produce a lot of disruptions.

"Blinky, Come out. I will need to rely on your power a lot this time."

"Mrow."

Ves came up with a relatively simple plan at this time. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
