The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5119

"It is almost time." Ves said as he stood in the front of the forward observation chamber.

The recent upgrades to his flagship included a comprehensive overhaul of the observation decks.

They offered better views and a more tasteful arrangement of plants and trees. Everyone who visited the top decks for the first time inevitably felt tranquil and detached from the constant activity taking place in the decks down below.

Ves had already done what he could in the short time that remained. All of the mechs and mech pilots aboard the factory ship were as ready as they could be, and the other elements that the Golden Skull Alliance put into play understood their respective roles as well.

It would soon be time to see whether all of their planning and preparation worked out and enabled them to defeat the yurzen raiding fleet.

He found it a bit ridiculous that he put far more effort and preparation in this battle than he did in the previous one against the wheednar raiding fleet.

However, the appearance of a hidden archeship along with the presence of two puelmer heavy cruisers, of which one of them still retained her full mobility, caused him to become a lot more vigilant towards this upcoming confrontation.

He still questioned whether it was a good idea to pull the trigger and go through with this confrontation even though there were clear signs that the situation in the Corellix System was anything but simple.

"Nyaaaa-"

The Golden Cat rested on his armored shoulder and pressed her head against his cheek. The ancestral spirit sensed his unrest and sought to calm his nerves.

Ves smiled and reached out to softly pat Goldie's manifested body. "I know. We're quite strong and we possess a lot of advantages. So long as the aliens don't spring too many surprises on us, we should be able to cope with whatever they bring to bear."

The problem was that the Golden Skull Alliance did not have a good idea on what their enemies were capable of. All of the scouting efforts only supplied them with a limited amount of information.

Their biggest shortcoming was that they did not have a complete understanding of the combat capabilities of the puelmer heavy cruisers.

Most of the homeships built by the puelmers were customizable combat platforms that tended to become more and more weird the older they became. Each and every year, the puelmer crew members upgraded the parts they did not like anymore and added new systems based on the latest inventions by their most inventive researchers.

This variability made puelmer warships a lot harder to defeat than equivalent vessels, but it also made them a lot more valuable as well.

Ves already had a glimpse of all of the wealth and insights that he could obtain from the archeship that was filled with exotic alien technology. Those two puelmer homeships should definitely contain other products of valuable alien ingenuity!

Two more spiritual entities manifested next to Ves.

Both Helena and the Superior Mother made an appearance in order to provide him with additional encouragement.

"You will do fine, little brother." Helena spoke as she gazed off in the distance. "So long as the Penitent Sisters and the Glory Seekers get close enough, they can call me down so that I can reap the souls of all of those alien crew members. Not even the puelmers should be able to resist my power."

Ves shook his head. "I don't think it will be that easy to eliminate the puelmers. We know that the aliens have collected intelligence on us. Our analysts and planners predict that the aliens will deliberately spread out their starships and do their best to intercept our Valkyrie mechs at all cost. We can still use the battle formations as a deterrence and a way to limit the movements of our upcoming opponents, but I'm not sure it will be possible for us to wipe out the crews of dozens of opposing warships as before."

Helena furrowed herbrows. "That is... regrettable."

He glanced towards the manifestation of the Superior Mother.

She showed up in a robed visage that shared obvious parallels with his actual mother over in the Nyxian Gap.

Ever since Cynthia Larkinson regained her body and assumed the power of a True God, her incarnation received a massive boost.

In the past, it had always been the Superior Mother who supported Cynthia.

This time, the balance of power between the two had reversed. It was Cynthia who was currently supplying the ancestral spirit with high-quality spiritual feedback!

This not only accelerated the growth and evolution of the Superior Mother even further, but also enabled Cynthia to descend her consciousness onto her incarnation in a much better fashion!

True Gods were truly existences on another level. Every pre-divinity entity did not come close to these higher life forms in terms of power, longevity and abilities.
