The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5334

Chapter 5334 Four Challenges

The Metal God Method was brilliant!

Its benefits and sophistication were much greater than ordinary cultivation methods!

It not only incorporated four different cultivation approaches, but tied them all together in a way that produced fantastic synergies. Cynthia Larkinson managed to maximize each component and interaction so that they produced as many concrete advantages as possible.

His mother continued to explain more details about the custom cultivation method that she had especially created for her child.

"Every cultivation approach serves a vital purpose. The Metal God Method would never have so much development potential without any of these four key components. Creation cultivation gives full play to Vulcan's talents. Deity cultivation anchors him to the physical realm and retains his connection to a vibrant society. Artifact cultivation supplies Vulcan with considerable quantities of high-quality energy. Qi cultivation increases Vulcan's connection to the metal element and strengthens his defenses. By combining all of these advantages together, the future of your incarnation will be bright."

How could Veronica remain unmoved by all of this? Compared to working as a mech designer, it was much more fun to act like a god and derive power from so many different sources!

Vulcan didn't even have to worry about practical concerns such as learning craftsmanship skills, procuring expensive resources or acquiring expensive production facilities.

The incarnation could borrow much of the skills and knowledge of his worshipers!

Although that did not allow Vulcan to master the most advanced or forbidden crafting applications, it was more than enough to allow the spirit to gain a sufficient amount of mastery in every production field!

Whenever Vulcan devised an interesting new design, he could descend onto one of his willing worshipers and make use of the available materials and workshops to do his work!

All of this sounded much more convenient than slaving away as a mech designer!

A part of Veronica even felt jealous towards Vulcan's special identity and traits.

There had to be a catch.

No, there had to be a lot of catches.

"What are the downsides to this cultivation method, mother? There is no way that it should be this easy."

The Oblivion Empress patted the cyborg cat in encouragement. "It is good to see that you have retained a clear mind. It is far too easy to become seduced by the prospect of gaining so much power. I have already mentioned that the Metal God Method is not mature. It is a prototype that I am unable to develop any further due to lack of actual data. There is a chance that... complications may occur."

Veronica was highly familiar with experiments and knew that unexpected outcomes came with the territory. "That is okay. So long as we are careful enough, we should be able to deal with any issues. Besides, Vulcan is quite hardy already. His Heart of Steel is not for show."

"Another issue is whether Vulcan can attract the Iron Resonant Crucifix Crown by practicing the Metal God Method. I have incorporated elements into it that are especially designed to seduce the symbol of authority, but do not forget that it has a mind of its own. It may choose to resist the temptation, which means that Vulcan's cultivation progress will become impaired. It is still possible to practice a lesser variation of the new method, but the results will not be as good."

"It's better than nothing, right?"

"That is true. It is still a far better alternative than continuing to practice the Heart of Steel Mantra."

That was alright to Veronica. From what she had been able to understand, the Iron Resonant Crucifix Crown primarily sped up Vulcan's progress. The crown could do more, but there were other ways to compensate for its absence.

"What else, mother?"

"The Iron Resonant Crucifix Crown will remain in constant contact with Vulcan and possibly your other incarnations as well. You should never let your guard down. While the Heart of Steel should be able to block most of the threats, it is not foolproof. The symbol of authority may be able to exploit a hole in the defenses. This is why you should always remain vigilant."

Veronica seriously nodded. "That goes without saying."

Her mother became more solemn. "Finally, there is one more disadvantage that will trouble you greatly later on. If your incarnation makes good use of your crown, then he should be able to approach the threshold of a True God. That is the point where Vulcan can no longer rely on regular activities and processes to grow any further. He must undergo a transformation in order to transform his life essence and assume his identity as a deity."

This conversation started to sound familiar to Veronica.

"Let me guess. This is not going to be easy, right? Vulcan will probably have to accomplish a legendary deed in order to break past the final bottleneck."

"That is certain. Cultivation methods can be differentiated by many criteria, all of which are interconnected to each other. It is not a universal rule that a more difficult cultivation method will grant greater power in return. It may just be badly designed or a poor fit to its practitioner. However, I have designed the Metal God Method to your incarnation from the ground up, which means that you shouldn't suffer from those problems."

"Then why is the Metal God Method so difficult to complete at the final stage, then?"

There are two primary reasons why the new method will impose harsh demands to become a True God. The first is because of its complexity. It blends four cultivation approaches together. The second is that I have deliberately designed the method to produce the greatest possible outcome that is possible. What I mean by this is that once Vulcan becomes a True God, he will not be average in strength. He shall gain so much strength and capabilities that he will possess ample enough capital to survive and thrive in the times to come. I can already promise you that he will not be inferior to Star Designer once he fully comes into power."

That was impressive, especially because Veronica knew that Star Designers were impressive creation cultivators at their level!

While Veronica had heard that Divine Blacksmiths and other creation cultivators had their own advantages, they were so specialized or outdated that they usually weren't able to contribute as much to society.

Veronica understood that Cynthia was doing her best to look out for her future.

The difficulty was high, but the rewards more than made up for it. Vulcan would definitely not fall behind in the future!
