The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5323

The central chamber was cylindrical in shape and occupied the center of the rented space station.

Enormous banners hung from metallic gray bulkheads. They depicted the colors and the symbols of the Terran Alliance, the Streon Ancient Clan as well as the Larkinson Clan.

The bright lights shining from above caused the Ouroboros and the armor-clad figure of Ves to look as if they were deities who had descended to the material realm.

What made this site especially solemn was the total silence.

Even though the commercial space station hadn't been built to the highest standards, it was still an intricate collection of powerful technologies. It was hard to dampen all of the noises produced by energy generators and other devices.

Nonetheless, the central chamber had been built in a way that generated total serenity in a natural manner. Ves did not even sense the subtle disturbances that betrayed the presence of an active anti-noise field.

The Ouroboros also remained silent. Its tech was so advanced compared to a typical second-class mech that its parts were on another level.

For example, the zero-point energy reactor that supplied seemingly endless energy from another dimension was virtually inexhaustible and uninterruptible!

Even if the Terran Alliance did not have access to as many high technologies as the Mech Trade Association, its foundation as a superstate was not for show. The Streons possessed enough strength and clout to gain access to such an impressive piece of peak technology.

A part of Ves felt incredibly proud and gratified to see the Ouroboros grow to such a strong machine.

Even if he hadn't touched it for over a century, it was still his work at heart!

Once he had created it, the Ouroboros lived its own life according to the whims of its battle partner.

Though its journey had been bumpy to the point of making plenty of mistakes, the Ouroboros had experienced much of the ups and downs that defined a rich and eventful life.

As Ves stood in front of the powerful masterwork ace mech that was equally coated in white and black, he was able to appreciate its growth and essence even more.

The biggest difference from his previous examination was that General Axelar Streon actively piloted his machine this time.

This filled in a lot of gaps that completed the ensemble between man and machine.

The Ouroboros and its lifelong partner had completely adapted to each other. It didn't matter if the two hadn't established a Blood Pact. Their continuous interaction and commitment to each other had forged a bond that was different but was much stronger in a few ways.

This was the kind of bond that Ves originally modeled the Blood Pact after!

The sheer depth of trust and affection that the living mech and its mech pilot expressed towards each other had already become strong enough to affect reality in profound ways.

While Ves was sure that General Axelar Streon hadn't formally initiated the Mech Body Merger Process, he and his living mech had already worked together so much that they already exhibited some of the traits of operation union.

It was amazing to see how extensively his 'child' had grown. Ves felt like a proud parent who reunited with his child after the latter had experienced an entire life.

Of course, Ves also felt a pang of pain in his heart for being absent during his creation's entire journey.

General Axelar and his living mech made so many mistakes in the past that could have easily been prevented or mitigated if they received proper guidance.

Seeing the Ouroboros grow to such an impressive point only to fall short due to the consequences it had incurred was extremely painful to Ves!

It was like seeing a masterful painting that could be revered and immortalized through the ages, only for it to get marred by a few ugly stripes left by a bunch of vandals!

All of his sensibilities as a mech designer screamed at him to do whatever it took to fix the Ouroboros and enable it to attain a higher degree of perfection and craftsmanship.

Ves could feel it. The factors that enabled the Ouroboros to grow to this point had brought it close to a grand work.

He had never seen a mech that was more transcendent and perfect than this exquisite machine.

The Grand Mender definitely earned much of the credit for bringing out the strengths of the Ouroboros in such a magnificent way, but the fact that it was an old and seasoned living mech definitely contributed a lot to its development!

Ves really couldn't allow his work to remain so blemished for the rest of its existence. If he did nothing in the face of the current state of the Ouroboros, then this would be an intolerable stain to his professionalism and a regret that would always haunt him for a long time!

As Ves became increasingly more upset about the defective state of the Ouroboros, a mature and masculine voice finally called out from the active machine.

"Professor Ves Larkinson. We have finally met. I have heard much about you from many different sources, my granddaughter included. None of the people that know you on a personal basis have described you as dull or average. Seeing you in the flesh confirms that their praises are not off the mark. You feel it, correct? You can feel the imbalance in my Ouroboros?"

Ves nodded. There was no way for him to lie or obfuscate this particular point. An ace pilot who was just as strong as the Mace of Retaliation possessed extremely keen intuition.

What made General Axelar even more difficult to deceive was that he was actively interfacing with his mech at the moment!

The Ouroboros massively amplified the strength and reach of his Saint Kingdom. Its hidden potential also came out, enabling Axelar to impose his will on his surroundings to a much more extensive degree.

Ves could clearly feel the general's enormous willpower descending on him, scrutinizing him from every angle.

He already experienced this sort of pressure from Emma.

Axelar's willpower clearly couldn't match up against the Destroyer of Worlds, but the difference here was that Ves had stepped in close proximity to the pilot while he was actively interfacing with his machine!

Right now, the famed Terran leader took advantage of his strength to evaluate the mech designer whose design philosophy resonated with the Ouroboros in a strong and obvious way!

Seconds passed by as both sides fell into silence.

They were still at an exploratory stage. Just as General Axelar was able to glean a lot of information from a mech designer that had approached the center of his mighty Saint Kingdom, Ves collected information about the pilot by making observations from a spiritual perspective.
