The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5330

Ves did not have the right to make decisions on behalf of a peak ace pilot.

If General Axelar Streon wanted to stake all of his chances on a single throw of the dice, then that was his decision.

He understood the pros and cons of every possible approach quite well.

He knew that there were good reasons why most pilots like him embraced the more modern approach of going the four phases of the Mech Body Merger Process in four measured steps.

However, Axelar willingly threw aside this reliable option and embraced the suggestion made by Gaia without hesitation!

"To become a god, you must have the heart of a god." The powerful pilot lectured to the mech designer. "If a challenge resonates with you, then how can you live with yourself by rejecting it? This may sound idiotic to you, but every pilot will agree with me when they hear my words. Besides, the significance of this proposal goes far beyond my own advancement. Think of the impact on society if I succeed. If we have successfully stolen an alien homeworld and converted it into a copy of Old Earth, how do you think this will affect both red humanity and the native aliens?"

If Axelar and his Terran troops actually managed to pull off this grand heist, then the consequences would be massive!

Regardless if it resulted in the ascension of a new god pilot, Ves could already predict that red humanity would gain an enormous boost of confidence from winning a huge and unforgettable victory.

This was extremely important as it was conceivable that the upcoming intensification of the war would lead to massive losses over time.

If the aliens made good use of their advantage in numbers and made consistent gains by waging a war of attrition, then the morale of red humanity would steadily sink.

The more human forces got defeated and the more human colonies succumbed to alien invasions, the more people lost hope. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

A single heroic effort could turn this trend around!

The daring planetary heist might not hurt the orven warmaking potential too much, but it undoubtedly represented a psychological coup against the aliens!

Many more people would become inspired by General Axelar's great success and regain the hope that they so desperately needed to fight for a better future!

On the other hand, the aliens would also suffer a severe blow, the orvens most of all if their home planet had been targeted.

Losing such a critically symbolic asset would definitely cause their morale to plunge!

It would show that red humanity was not to be trifled with and that it would cost them greatly if they persisted in the war.

The heavy blow might even spark discord between the different alien races. If cracks started to form in their relationships, then additional pressure might cause the aliens to cooperate less sincerely with each other, causing them to weaken even further.

Axelar Streon would be able to earn most of the credit for making all of this happen. His contribution to red humanity would become so great that he would become one of the greatest leaders of this new age!

Ves understood now why Axelar had become so fixated in Gaia's plan despite the fact that she could gain a lot of benefits while doing relatively little in return.

On the surface, the deal seemed lopsided.

On a deeper level, both sides got what they wanted out of this deal. Whether one party got ahead of the other was immaterial so long as they both became satisfied in the end.

"If you settle for this course of action, you will have to cooperate with Gaia from beginning to end. Are you sure you want to do this, general?"

The ace pilot nodded in determination. "I am certain. Do not be concerned. I am not naive. I will take the appropriate precautions, though I do not expect that they will be necessary. I have taken her measure. More than that, her gains are contingent on my own gains. If this planetary heist fails, the Terran Alliance is unlikely to embark on this effort again."

"I wish you good luck, then."

The meeting slowly came to a close after that. They had already talked long enough. General Axelar was eager to put his ambitious new plan together while Ves had to take on other obligations.

Before Ves bid goodbye, he wanted to take care of one important job.

He did not forget about the Ouroboros. The powerful ace mech possessed many shortcomings, but not all of them were deep-rooted to the point where Ves couldn't directly affect anymore.

"I can't make any major revisions on your living mech, but I can update its living traits." Ves said. "You can consider it as a long overdue software update. All of my current living mechs are operating on version 3.0, while the 'software' of your Ouroboros is still stuck on a mutated edition of version 1.0. By bringing your old machine up to date, I can not only plug a lot of easy gaps in its living operation, but I can also lift the ceiling that has held back its evolution all of the time. I expect that it can become a third order living mech in a short amount of time, which has massive implications for your machine."
