Chapter 5416 Violent Resource

What was a lightning tribulation?

Ves had been wondering about this mysterious phenomenon for years on an intermittent basis.

He had two vivid memories about his experiences with this powerful force. Both of them had a profound influence over his life, his work and his views on how reality worked.

Frankly speaking, Ves lacked a thorough understanding of this powerful and far-reaching phenomenon. He knew that it popped up in times when a cultivator was about to make an amazing breakthrough. It also appeared to pop up when a creator attempted to make an exceptional product.

Ves had done both over his career, so he had at least a bit of personal experience of what it was like to trigger a lightning tribulation.

The first time he caused a lightning tribulation was when he attempted to make the Superior Mother.

With the knowledge that he possessed today, he understood that the ritual that he had devised around the birth of the Superior Mother was not that big of a deal.

What truly caused her birth to go to the next level was the use of extraordinary ingredients and the ambitious scope of her creation!

However, witnessing a lightning tribulation from afar paled in comparison to becoming subjected to it himself!

Ves could never forget the moment where his attempt to create Veronica caused a lightning tribulation to barge into the System Space like it was nothing and directly rain down lightning bolts onto his body!

Strangely enough, the punishment he induced due to his excessively negative karma turned out to be a lot more manageable than he thought.

The quantity of lightning bolts was unimaginably high, but even if they ramped up over time, their individual power never exceeded his body tolerance and the defensive properties of his Unending Regalia.

It was at that time that he personally experienced the other side of the coin.

The power of heaven's punishment was not only a force of destruction, but could also serve as a force of creation!

The premise was that the target of heaven's wrath possessed the strength to weather the storm and survive long enough to allow the creation force to do its job!

Having benefited enormously from the accidental circumstances that led him to sublimate his entire being to a higher level, Ves understood that lightning tribulations represented both danger and opportunity.

Ves initially thought that his new five elements mech had a good chance of resisting this lightning tribulations.

Based on his previous experiences, he thought that they were quite tame. It was as if the heavens were just going through the motions and never truly showed that much animosity to their targets.

He quickly had to change that impression at this time when he saw and felt the size and scope of this lightning storm exceed anything he had ever experienced in the past!

This was not the weak tribulation lightning that seemed to do Cynthia a massive favor by strengthening and transforming the Superior Mother's foundation for the better.

It was also not the relatively tame and 'friendly' sequence of lightning bolts that not only healed him and strengthened his foundation to the point where he developed a glow, but also gave him a freebie and turned him into a phase lord!

Ves did not forget about the weird hallucinations either. Not only did several ghosts of the past, present and the future confront him about his alleged deeds and misdeeds, he also became introduced to what truly passed as the heavenly authorities of the Milky Way and Red Ocean!

According to the theory that he devised back then, the two galaxies could actually be regarded as living entities on an unprecedented scale!

Just the notion that the two galaxies were alive and sentient would cause almost every human to call him nuts before forcing him to undergo mental health treatment!

Though Ves only had vague impressions of what it was like to get into contact with those powerful sentient galaxies, he remembered that they had shown a considerable amount of goodwill towards him. He was unclear as to the reason why, but he wasn't in the habit of looking at a gift horse in the mouth.

However, at this time, Ves did not sense any of that goodwill or benevolence from the current lightning storm!

CRACK!

A golden bolt of lightning struck the exterior of the five elements mech, causing its surface components to look a little fried!

The mech had never been rated to withstand so much electrical violence, particularly when it was also empowered by E energy and other mysterious forces!

Although lightning tribulations were unfathomably deep to the likes of Ves, he instinctively felt that this storm was not trying to go easy on Ves and his work this time.

Ves could sense an overwhelming amount of ruthlessness and malice from the dark and surging clouds that were blackening the skies!

It was as if the authority responsible for dispatching this storm was hellbent on destroying an abomination that should not exist!

This was incredibly bad for Ves. He never designed his modified Fey Project to resist such an inexplicable force. How could he have known that the product of his inspiration would violate a rule that he was not aware of and provoke heavy punishment upon its creation?

Ves was not prepared, and neither was his work!

If his five elements mech wanted to have any chance of surviving this unavoidable tribulation, then it needed to be piloted right away!

"We need a pilot inside that cockpit now!" Ves urged.

"Are you certain you wish to do so, sir?" Alexa asked with obvious concern. "If this lightning storm continues to grow stronger, the risks to both the mech and its occupant will become considerable."

"We have to try!"

Ves did not want to give up on his product! He was willing to take the chance and let his mech fight for its right to exist, even if it risked the life of a mech pilot!

However, the next difficult decision he had to make was who he should put inside the cockpit of his new work.

When Ves moved to the Premier Branch, he had only brought a small amount of personnel from the expeditionary fleet.
