The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7304

Chapter 7304: The Divine Dilemma

A major accident occurred!

Three giants got caught by the battle moon's tentacles!

One of them was an Ur-Titan that possessed a fairly large body.

The other two consisted of Faceless Giants who possessed much smaller bodies.

Despite his size, the Ur-Titan inspired greater confidence. His expression showed that he was still full of defiance. His superior strength and phasewater concentration meant that he was tougher to take down. He was able to exert more force and his spatial barrier was also a lot more resistant.

The condition of the latter happened to be a lot more pessimistic.

The Faceless Giants were much smaller relative to the tentacles. Although that also made it harder for multiple tentacles to latch onto them, that was not that big of a problem as they simply stacked on top of each other.

The smaller giants already started to disappear from sight!

"Get off!"

"Save them!"

Both Ur-Titans and Faceless Giants briefly converged on their trapped comrades. They relied on a combination of physical force, spatial abilities and companion spirit abilities to dislodge the tentacles.

They achieved a lot of initial successes. While the tentacles appeared thick and strong, the reality was that they were made out of low-quality flesh and materials.

In the face of the power of many phase lords, the tentacles broke and spilled blood in every direction!

Multiple tentacles tore apart as they sought to free their trapped comrades.

However, the battle moon's greatest strength was not its resilience, but its abundant resources!

Even as tentacle after tentacle got torn away, more of them spawned into existence and replaced the existing ones.

The Divine Harpoon scowled as he relied upon his bare strength to tear a tentacle apart by himself.

Unlike his subordinates, his size and strength was much greater on account of being a strategies. This made it much easier for him to destroy the alien entanglement, but he was just a single combatant.

When matched up against a battle moon that could dynamically spawn more tentacles by relying on its vast flesh reserves, his strength was ultimately feeble, especially when he was not specialized in close-ranged combat!

In fact, most of the giants were proficient in melee combat, but that did not matter all that much when they were lacking in gear.

Without the right weapons and armor, their combat effectiveness was just a fraction as powerful!

The Divine Harpoon clearly saw that there was no end to this threat. Even as he and his subordinates kept tearing apart the tentacles by relying on their collective strength, the battle moon's rate of replenishment proved to be too great!

Without inflicting serious damage to the VOBM, the alien megaconstruct could easily spawn new tentacles at will.

In fact, the amount of tentacles that entangled the three human phase lords had not decreased, but increased!

The situation was growing worse over time!

Not only was the quantity of tentacles increasing, but the biological plasma cannons had never ceased firing.

The mutated voribugs no longer swarmed the giants directly, but showed a bit of tactical acumen by circling around so that they could form a blockade around the escape routes.

In short, the longer this situation persisted, the greater the probability that more giants would end up getting stuck!

The Divine Harpoon clearly fell into a dilemma. It was too hard for his men to put up a serious fight without adequate wargear. The difference it made was far too great. Many giants already resembled the decision to deploy without their arms and armor.

The giants now faced an agonizing choice. They could either choose to abandon their trapped comrades and flee with their remaining lives and bounty intact, or they could persist and risk losing the lives of more giants in the process!

This dilemma paralyzed them for a time.

While the Rubarthans kept transmitting instructions for the Ascended Giants to cut their losses and abandon their trapped colleagues, the human phase lords felt unwilling to abandon their comrades!

Regardless of whether they were Ur-Titans or Faceless Giants, they all considered each other kin. They were like a huge extended family. Abandoning their brothers and sisters in the face of this alien peril would be an agonizing decision!

Though most of them used to be professional soldiers who knew that they needed to be cold-blooded at times, their new lives as Ascended Giants had given them the illusion that they had become powerful enough to ignore these tradeoffs.

They never expected their first mission under their new leader to put them back in such a dire situation!

At this time, the giants failed to form a single consensus on the problem, and that turned into a problem.

With more and more tentacles converging on the giants, the rescuers may end up needing saving in short order!

It was at this time that they needed clarity and decisiveness the most!

Just before the tentacles enveloping the trapped Ur-Titan grew strong enough to reel him into the fleshy embrace of the battle moon, sharp and powerful shards of ice suddenly appeared from the distance and cut into the fleshy appendages!

The sharp ice shards cut and wounded the tentacles with unusual effectiveness!

Even if the ice elemental attacks failed to sever the large and thick tentacles straight away, the damage they suffered was already enough to weaken them by 10 to 50 percent, which was more than enough for the surrounding giants to tear them apart in short order!

"I HAVE ARRIVED!"

Reinforcements had arrived. Against the strong recommendations of the Rubarthans, Ves had chosen to step onto the battlefield in person.

He chose to let out the Dark Apostle.

While his alter ego lacked the high-quality wargear that had been prepared back in the Bluejay Fleet, he was better off than the rest of his giants.

That was because he could still resort to other solutions.

At this time, the value of a size-changing artifact had skyrocketed.

Previously, Ves had begun to favor the Oceancaller less and less.

He no longer held much interest in deepening his understanding of the water element now that he had roughly formed his foundation in this field.

As a pure melee weapon, Ves could easily make use of other armaments that were much more effective at close range.
