The Mech Touch novel Chapter 6366

Chapter 6366 Ves Larkinson's Combat System

"Hahahaha!"

Ves grew more and more enthused as he began to exert much greater power than before!

It turned out that Ves had vastly underestimated the difference that good equipment could make.

The hyper nanomachine plagues were never designed to serve in this capacity, but because of a series of happy coincidences, they inadvertently served as the perfect base for his raiment.

His successful experiments with the nanomachine plagues inadvertently caused him to figure out his own combat system.

Smart metal was the best way to go forward. It was malleable, adaptable and could take on many different forms.

In order to test this out, Ves raised one of his arms and replicated the enlarged fists that he had originally designed for the C-man.

With another thought, a tail of darkness extended from his backside, imitating the autonomous tail that added a bit of playfulness to the Devil Tiger!

These quick experiments proved that Ves could practically replicate most of the design elements of his smart metal mechs!

So long as the nanomachines were capable of replicating the smart metal configurations of his past mech designs, he could instantly use them to summon any piece of equipment that he wanted!

There was a huge potential in this, but he was currently limited by time and lack of nanomachines.

Engulfing his original raiment wasn't enough. He needed a lot more smart metal if he wanted to clad himself with a much larger and more versatile piece of equipment!

Ves gazed at the archeshell underneath him with greater hunger and desire. Though the nanomachine plague still found it difficult to eat through the shell itself, the flesh underneath should be a lot easier to devour and digest!

As if driven by his growing desires, more pieces of his smart metal raiment fell off in order to speed up the effort to pierce through the thick archeshell!

With the help of a pair of mechs and the growing injection of darkness energy, Ves made such great progress that he was finally able to create a solid breach into the flesh barrier!

Although the arche phase lord's massive true body tried to resist and close the gaps by injecting a lot of phasewater-infused blood and tissue, the hungry nanomachines forcibly overcame the resistance and continued to dig inside the alien's body with great enthusiasm!

Even when faced with the corrosion of spatial activity from all of the phasewater, the nanomachine plagues proved to be resilient enough to persist long enough for them to devour flesh and reproduce!

The quantity of nanomachines rapidly grew. These ones were different and weaker due to the integration of different materials, but they were undoubtedly part of the same strain as they hungrily devoured more pieces of flesh in order to obey their primary directive!

The arche phase lord that got infected by the living smart metal machines began to feel what was taking place inside his own body and began to panic!

The alien thrashed so much that he had lost his coordination with his fellow phase lords.

"Careful! The archeshell ball is breaking apart!"

The deteriorating unity between them ultimately caused their highly defensive formation to collapse, causing them to split into 5 separate phase lords again! _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

This not only made the arche phase lords a lot more vulnerable, but also showcased how much worse the most heavily injured phase lord was doing!

The nanomachine plagues proved their worth and more. Though their continued incompatibility with phasewater hindered their efforts a lot, it just so happened that the true body of a lesser phase lord was not too saturated with phasewater, which meant that there was plenty of organic tissue that the nanomachines could safely devour!

The more the phase lord was getting eaten from the inside, the more he began to thrash like an uncontrollable beast!

The arche phase lord was not entirely defenseless against internal infections. He mobilized his spatial abilities and his own inherent control over his body to squeeze out as many nanomachines as possible!

Yet for all of the ones he managed to remove from his body, more seemed to take their place as the nanomachines spread through the other parts of his body doing their own thing.

"What is happening, professor?"

"The nanomachine plagues have settled into his body. Even now, his own alien blood circulation is spreading the destructive plagues into his gigantic heart and phasewater organs. The damage is negligible for the moment, but it will become a lot more serious once the nanomachines have grown their numbers. The phase lord is doing his best to destroy or remove them in any way possible."

"We can't let that happen! We need to distract the injured phase lord and hasten his demise!"

The first-class multipurpose mechs began to assault the infected arche phase lord from every direction!

Although his cracked and damaged archeshell was still able to resist a lot of damage, the front of his body was much less able to resist repeated attacks.

The other 4 arche phase lords tried to help their colleague by surrounding him from multiple directions, but their efforts were not sufficient now that they had broken out of their earlier formation.

In order to distract the infected phase lord from dealing with the nanomachines tearing through the softest pieces of his flesh as if they were at a buffet, Ves chose to charge forward and distract the enemy as much as possible!

One of the healthier phase lords moved forward to block his attacks. Ves' smart metal-covered staff repeatedly smacked into the limbs of the lesser phase lord.

The alien adversity uttered soundless hisses as the repeated injections of darkness energy caused the alien limbs to grow numb and weak.

Although the arche phase lord did not launch any powerful attacks, Ves grew more frustrated his attempts to break the limbs of his opponents achieved very limited success.

The arche phase lord's limbs were definitely becoming more and more injured, but the rate of deterioration was so low that it was taking too long!

Fortunately, the surrounding first-class multipurpose mechs lent him a hand by bombarding the phase lord with their formidable arsenal of weapons.

The arche phase lord in question lurched as the concentrated attacks repeatedly targeted his weakest side. All of the distractions created by Ves and the first-class multipurpose mechs greeted gaps that enabled other mechs to launch attacks at the weakest and most injured of the enemy group.

"Professor Larkinson!"

"Yes?!"

"Can you grapple or restrain one of these arche phase lords?"

"Try and see if you can lure them away from Fort Rock. The more they leave it alone, the more it can help us control the battlefield."

Ves already began to orient himself so that the arche phase lords would have to move away from their previous target.

As they moved away from Fort Rock, the arche phase lords gained in strength as they came under less suppression and interference than before.

This made life harder for Ves as his spatial barrier had to resist stronger attacks than before.

The arche phase lords also became increasingly tougher and more resilient, making it even harder to defeat them than before!

This pattern persisted for a couple more minutes. Multiple first-class multipurpose mechs had to withdraw and retire from the battlefield after sustaining too much damage, but at least the native aliens were no longer threatening Fort Rock.

Just as the arche phase lords regained enough strength to be able to catch up to Ves, a wave of darkness and malevolence converged from many different directions!

The nanomachine plagues had returned!

Not only that, but they had all expanded the size of their swarms!

Even though they all had the option to stay away from Ves, they voluntarily answered his call and came back to him so that they could be used by him once more.

As the expanded nanomachine plagues gathered around Ves, they surrounded him in such a thick layer of nanomachines that it no longer became obvious that a human phase lord was hiding inside!

Under Ves' direction, the nanomachine plagues continually shifted in shape until they began to take on a different and unexpected form.

"Is that… a giant cat?"

"No. It's a tiger!"

Ves impulsively decided to follow his whims and ordered the nanomachine plagues to condense into the shape of his Devil Tiger!

As they obediently tried to imitate the form and also several of the smart metal mech's internal systems, Ves could feel the growing power at his disposal.

Choosing to replicate one of his smart metal mechs had been the right decision!

Compared to any other ad-hoc shape he could form, the smart metal mech that he had meticulously designed and optimized once upon a time clearly offered superior combat performance!

As Ves completely immersed himself in the shape of a feline mech-like construct, the harmony between him and the nanomachine plagues grew even stronger!

His grin grew wider even as the copy of his Devil Tiger exposed its sharp and deadly fangs.

"Let me show you the power of my Devil Tiger!"
