The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5581

Chapter 5581 Separated By Time

The atmosphere in the illusionary starship compartment started to become a little more serious.

Even Lucky and Emma no longer made as many noises as before. The larger and much more powerful spiritual cat pressed onto Lucky and kept him in her grasp as if the gem cat was just a kitten.

"Meow..."

"Miew."

Ves continued to gaze at the human manifestation of the Destroyer of Worlds in a speculative and evaluating gaze.

This was the first time he had come face to face with a god pilot.

One of his purposes as a mech designer was to help the users of his products reach the same height one day.

The more he understood how god pilots worked, the better he could design his products to facilitate their ascension to the ultimate rank!

Yet... the rank of god pilot was clearly not the limit of this profession. Even if the road ahead was shrouded in fog, the Destroyer of Worlds and all of her peers did not want to rest on their laurels!

Ves could not imagine what the next rank could possibly look like. Even though Divine Irene Mox had suppressed her incredibly powerful presence to a level where she could comfortably speak with others, the destructive potential of her willpower was so great that she could easily wipe out the entire capital city of Bortele III in an instant so long as she released her restraint!

It was far too difficult for Ves to assume that Irene still retained large parts of her humanity. So much of her had morphed into extraordinary power that he suspected that she was largely simulating her own emotions.

Of course, he kept his ideas to himself. He had no right to judge a god pilot. He did not even understand them all that much. Whatever he and Blinky were able to glimpse was only a fraction of Irene's true majesty. He hadn't even seen any sign of the Ragnarok!

Right now, the conversation between Ves and his latest Mastery experience host had taken a momentous turn.

"Do you see the Red Ocean over there?" Irene asked as she pointed at the distant view of the dwarf galaxy through the illusionary window. "This is our home now. Red humanity has no way of going home again. The nearest galaxies are Messier 87 and a collection of other dwarf galaxies that have bathed in the supermassive galaxy's light for eons. We are surrounded by enemies who have acclimated to exotic radiation over a much greater period of time. We are incomparably weak compared to all of our new neighbors."

Ves grimaced. Everyone smart enough could figure this out as well. Most people tried not to think too hard on this as it would only lead to despair.

Rather than think about how red humanity was hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned, it was better to focus on more immediate concerns that they still had the ability to change.

If people wanted to solve all of these crises and ensure their own survival over the long run, they had little choice but to take this step by step.

Naturally, the more powerful leaders had to undertake more responsibilities. This meant that much of the future of their entire civilization rested on the shoulders of the Destroyer of Worlds!

It was not a comforting thought. Even though god pilots should never be prone to doubt, Irene clearly conveyed the impression that she was not certain about her own future direction.

Too much had changed in just a single year.

Irene sighed yet again. "To you, our first encounter with each other must have happened just before the end of the Age of Mechs. Despite all of the events that happened since then, your memories of that instance should still be fairly recent."

Ves nodded. "This reunion feels kind of odd to me. Not that much time has passed between then and now, but while I have aged for a year, you have experienced more than 200 years of life. Our generational gap has magnified so much that you could easily pass off as my great-great-great-grandmother. You must have waited for a long time before meeting me again."

"More than you know." Irene said while her burning eyes conveyed a complex emotion. "I have examined my memories of that time over and over again. I already deduced that you were fairly young at the time. As the years passed, I always held the expectation that I would meet you again. I had no proof to back up this assumption, but my intuition constantly validated my hunch. The urge to meet with you again has driven me forward so many times. How long do I need to wait to see the man who has given me a new life and a stronger pathway to power? As decades and centuries passed by without even a hint of your existence, I began to fear that it may take centuries or even longer to hear your voice again."

Ves sensed a strong conviction in her tone.

"How, exactly? I really don't see why you have so many high expectations for me. I never met a god pilot in person before you, and I still don't understand the principles that make you so absurdly strong. I have even less of an idea on what comes next." _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
