The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7122

Chapter 7122: Weaponizing Faith

Ves thought about the difficulty of trying to turn a dreadnought alive.

Compared to the past, Ves possessed a significantly greater understanding of what he was dealing with. He could also derive lessons from the successful transformation of the Dominion of Man.

While that should have made it easier for Ves to transform other dreadnoughts, that may not necessarily be true.

The most critical part of turning a dreadnought alive was to turn the Spark Reactor into a giant-sized version of a Bloodfire System.

In order to do that, converting the dormant ’Fire Elemental’ into a friendly and cooperative True God-level entity was vital!

The Fire Elemental was responsible for fueling the extraordinary characteristics of a living dreadnought.

While it was not strictly necessary to rely on the Spark Reactor to sustain a powerful godship, the problem was that it was nearly impossible to acquire acceptable substitutes.

Regular high technology could not possibly do the job. Perhaps the only realistic way the RF could obtain an alternative to a Fire Elemental was to exchange it with the MTA or CFA, who likely possessed a vault filled with extraordinary objects and materials!

The cost of doing so was prohibitive. It was best not to resort to these alternatives when Ves possessed the ability to convert their existing Fire Elementals.

Unfortunately for the fleeters, Ves could not use the exact same approach he used to make Furia.

"You should understand that Furia is one-of-a-kind." He said. "She is the Wrath of Red Humanity and the embodiment of human supremacy in this dwarf galaxy. This is an excellent way to convert the original entity’s wrath and fire into a friendlier and more productive direction. It also happens to fit the orientation of the Dominion of Man as a dreadnought that relies more on manpower than any other vessel. I do not think it will be that easy to convert the other dreadnoughts given that I cannot use the same trick anymore. There can be only a single Furia."

As Ves spoke about the difficulty related to Fire Elementals, he suddenly made a profound realization.

Was there a connection between the frozen wood elf that he obtained from the Cybers and the Fire Elementals that served as the heart of the Spark Reactors employed by the RF dreadnoughts?

The two had plenty of similarities. They were both energy-based life forms that still possessed a corporeal footprint. They were both mono elemental and lacked compatibility with other E energy attributes. They were both hostile or at least not friendly towards humans.

There were differences as well. Fire Elementals originated from the Milky Way Galaxy while the ’elves’ probably originated from Messier 87.

Their power and growth stages were also substantially different. The Fire Elementals were possibly centuries old and had already reached a state of maturity for much of that period.

The wood elf specimen that Ves used to breathe life into Marigold was very clearly an infant. It had only existed for a very short amount of time before it got flash-frozen.

Despite these major differences, Ves could not help but suspect that they were actually the same kind of existence. Perhaps there may be regional variations between the different galaxies, but Ves could not ignore that they were both fundamentally elemental energy-based life forms.

The biggest mystery that prevented Ves from fully believing in this theory was that he did not know where the wood elf and the Fire Elementals came from. Were they created in the same way?

The explanation he heard about the former was probably true, but he had no hard proof that the account given by the Cybers was accurate.

As for the Fire Elementals, Ves never got a straight answer from the fleeters he talked to, not that he expected them to know anything serious. This was high-level information. Only the highest ranking and most senior of scientists should know the truth.

In fact, Ves secretly guessed that the fleeters managed to acquire their Fire Elementals by exploiting the Fire Scroll.

He did not forget that after the Big Two rebelled against the Five Scrolls Compact, many of the Sacred Scrolls went missing or shattered into pieces.

The only exception was the Fire Scroll. The mechers and the fleeters likely prioritize its acquisition above all else because this was the only Sacred Scroll that could enhance the energy supply and energy levels of all of their tech.

Energy was power!

The more energy a war platform could channel on the battlefield, the better its performance!

It was no coincidence that the defining criteria that determined whether mechs and warships fell into the third-class, second-class or first-class categories was how much power they could generate and expend.

This perspective betrayed how much the mechers and the fleeters cared about wielding as much energy as possible.
