The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5418

Chapter 5418 Fried Cats

The newly built Fey Project was holding up a lot better now that it had come online.

With Major Jankowski in charge, the mech no longer stupidly stood around.

It not only adopted a stabler posture, but also deployed all four its living fey!

Sadly, not all of them could offer a lot of assistance. The water fey was the only one that was equipped with a defensive module.

That did not mean that the other three fey were useless, though. Their innate affinities to the different elements allowed them to exert a measure of control over fire, wood and earth energy.

Both Jankowski and the living mech were still in the process of exploring what they could do with the tools they had at their disposal.

Wrangling the energies was not that simple. They not only interacted in many different ways with each other, but also became dispersed to an extent whenever another golden lightning bolt struck from above!

The five elements mech was the first of its kind as far as Ves knew. No mech pilot had any sort of practice with a machine that possessed similar capabilities.

This caused Jankowski and the new living mech to go through a lot of trial and error.

Many of their attempts to strengthen the Fey Project's ability to resist the lightning tribulation failed to produce any favorable results. They had to try out a different method in order to shape the elemental energies in a way that could help them at this time.

Ves paid constant attention to the state of his creation. His mind was swirling with ideas, and he occasionally made suggestions based on his own understanding of hyper technology and E-technology.

CRACK!

At the same time, Ves cheekily took advantage of his mech's lightning tribulation to siphon a part of that ultimate power for his own use!

Though Ves clearly understood that he was subjecting himself to excessive risks, a part of him felt it was an enormous waste if he did not take advantage of this opportunity to further his comprehensive evolution!

A look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face as his body did not even manage to register the effect of the last lightning strike.

His Unending Regalia had channeled all of the current that flowed through the jury-rigged rods.

"This is not good enough. What am I afraid of? My armor is holding me back!"

Ves just realized that it was better to take advantage of this moment while the Fey Project was still in good shape and the power of the lightning tribulation hadn't ramped up too much.

Besides, Ves had made additional modifications to his scheme that enabled him to exercise limited control over how much lightning power would loop through the cockpit.

"Let's do this, then!"

Major Jankowski initially did not notice what was happening to the side, but when he briefly took a look, the mech pilot grew alarmed when he saw that Ves had actually stepped out of his combat armor!

Ves not only shed his armor, but also deactivated his energy shield generator along with other defensive gadgets.

In order to prevent his electronics from getting fried, he had removed most of them from his body and set them aside.

Only after that did he use his bare hands and feet to touch the four rods.

"Sir! What are you doing! You are putting your body in serious danger!"

"I know what I am doing, major! This isn't the first time that I have endured a lighting bath. I do not know if you have been informed about this, but I am actually a phase lord. My body can take way more punishment than you think!"

The critical moment quickly neared.

Due to how much additional risks Ves had incurred by removing his armor, he felt a lot of dread towards an unstoppable force that was about to unleash its might yet again.

CRACK!

The cockpit shook more violently and the rest of the mech frame rattled a lot more as the power of the last bolt had increased yet again!

"Ah!"

Ves felt electrocuted in a way that he had never experienced before!

He already suspected it before, but now that the golden current had briefly run through his body, he personally confirmed that this lightning tribulation came from a much different source!

It not only held not a single scrap of goodwill towards him, but probably operated by different rules as well.

This lightning tribulation was not a force that was willing to promote his goals so long as he passed its test.

This destructive force sought to strike down his five elements mech with extreme prejudice!

Even though it was forced by its very nature to channel the power of creation through its potent attacks, Ves intuitively guessed that the tribulation lightning did not intend for the mech to exist long enough to enjoy its benefits!

Even though he was not the target of this lightning tribulation, Ves was able to understand what his mech was going through a lot better after he experienced this force in person.

His body had definitely incurred a bit of damage, his resilience was so high that Ves had no cause for concern.

Instead, Ves focused more on what happened to his body tissue after it got fried by the golden current.

His flesh and bones began to undergo a slow and subtle transformation. The parts of his body that sustained more severe damage exhibited a greater rebound as the raw power of creation directly nourished his organic cells and made them stronger in ways that he could not explain.

What was important to Ves was that he could sense that the phasewater in his blood had actually begun to increase!

Though the changes were extremely minor at this time, Ves deduced that subjecting himself to continuous lightning tribulations may be the most effective way for him to advance his body cultivation!

"That is not all." Ves grinned.

He was more than just a phase lord. His powerful spirituality that had already been tempered by a past lightning tribulation started to show more signs of strengthening.

Of course, his spirituality also sustained a nasty shock that caused him to feel pained down to his very soul, but once the power of creation started to do its work, Ves experienced a brief moment of ecstasy as he could feel that his glow had grown a little more powerful!

"Mrow mrow!"

Even his companion spirit benefited from this potent force!

Blinky even attempted to devour a tiny proportion of the golden current and dump it into his internal universe, but he failed in this attempt.

The power of lightning was too fleeting to get caught by Blinky's devouring ability!

Oh well.

"This is not enough. I need more stimulation to speed up the evolution of my body."

Ves used the interval between lightning bolts to alter the settings of his improvised arrangement.

When the next tribulation lightning struck, the cockpit lit up a lot brighter as a much stronger current ran through his body!

CRACK!

"AAHHH! THAT HURTS!"
