The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5451

Chapter 5451 Phase Lord Benefits

Who did not want to live longer?

Ves had seen enough cases of people who did everything possible to extend their lifespans.

Life-prolonging treatments used to be an unattainable dream to him. Even when he managed to get his hands on a few vials of life-prolonging treatment serum, he did not dare to squander them at will, but treated them as precious resources.

The chance to live forever was practically priceless. A lot of old geezers who had managed to make a lot of accomplishments all kept working even harder just to earn another way to extend their lifespans.

Ves knew that he was far too young to care too much about this pressing need, but he was probably the exception rather than the rule.

It was not easy for people to live for hundreds of years more than their natural lifespans.

Only a tiny proportion of humans were powerful enough to earn the huge amounts of merits required to redeem life-prolonging treatments.

An even smaller number of people possessed the luck, talent and ability to ascend into god pilots or Star Designers.

Opening up an alternative means to extending people's lives would definitely excite a lot of people who previously thought that they had reached the end of their ropes!

If the mechers dangled the chance of becoming a human phase lord as bait, then a lot of old geezers would probably invest nearly everything at their disposal to snatch as much phasewater from the native aliens as possible!

What a devious plan. This was probably an integral part of the calculations of the mechers.

When Ves was finally done with pumping enough information about human phase lords from Jovy, he briefly discussed his intention of going on a vacation.

It went without saying that the Bluejay Fleet had already begun to make the appropriate preparations.

"Your safety is our highest concern." The mecher stated. "We are well-equipped to protect you against most of the threats on Ocanon VI, but you will be exposing yourself and your children to many different risks, a number of which we may be less equipped to handle than others. We advise you to forgo the most dangerous hunting opportunities."

Ves frowned. "I don't want to challenge exobeasts that are too weak. I also intend to hunt down real beasts in my true body form. While I do not intend to spend too much time on my phase lord cultivation, I at least want to feel what it is like to kill in this form. Maybe I will be able to gain useful inspiration during this experience."

That made it harder for the mechers to protect him, but Jovy eventually acquiesced to this plan.

"Fine. We will be ready to employ the right safety measures. Our presence may invalidate your chance to earn a valid hunting trophy, but your safety is more important than satisfying your vanity." _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

That was a disappointment, but Ves already expected as much.

He instead spent his time on thinking about his own combat system.

He was not a pure phase lord, so there was no reason for him to fight like one. He had a companion spirit as well as other incarnations at his disposal. He could borrow the strength of different design spirits if he needed further help.

More importantly, the Worclaw energy produced by his Jutland organ had not only become a lot more abundant, but Ves also improved his control over its destructive potency!

Ves felt an urge to develop a unique means of combat and self-defense that was fully suited to his own situation.

He was especially interested in combining his spatial manipulation abilities with his ability to command E energy.

Not only would he be able to learn various tricks that could potentially produce amazing synergies, but he could also apply all of his newfound insights in his mech designs!

That last part was especially important to him. He was a mech designer first, so every activity had to improve his ability to do his work.

Jovy looked intrigued when Ves briefly explained his intentions.

"Earlier, you mentioned that your sensitivity to E energy had dropped by a large extent when you unveiled your true body. It should be much harder for you to manipulate space and E energy at the same time if that is the case. That lines up with what we have found among the aliens. The more they are saturated with phasewater, the less they are able to form a connection with E energy. It is an odd interaction that we do not fully understand. We certainly hope that the aliens are unable to solve this interaction."

It was good news that powerful alien phase lords and phase whales were not able to exert a lot of control over E energy.

Powerful ancient phase whales would become several times more difficult to defeat if they were able to utilize their vast and powerful minds to draw strength from the power of heaven as if they were qi cultivators!

"From what I have experienced, it has become a lot harder to leverage E energy when I activate my true body, but this is not an absolute rule." Ves cautioned. "I think that if I really put effort into it, I may be able to leverage space-attributed E energy. I just haven't figured out how to do it when I am in that strange condition."

"That sounds concerning." Jovy frowned. "We shall be sure to investigate that further. By the way, we have noticed that you have made active use of your companion spirit during the testing session. How well were you able to borrow the power of E energy with the help of Blinky?"

"It was much better than before. Blinky's strength lies in this aspect. He was able to employ his full power without getting affected by my body's changes. The only problem is that my own reduced sensitivity towards E energy has left me unable to assist what my companion spirit was doing at the time."

"Interesting. There is still a strong synergy. I do not think you need this reminder, but I truly do have to repeat to you that you are not allowed to grant a design spirit to any alien entity, period. If a powerful ancient phase whale is able to overcome his congenital shortcomings in this aspect with the help of a companion spirit, then we will have to fight against an apex predator who is strong in both body and energy! The combat effectiveness of such a monstrosity may approach that of a god pilot!"
