The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7333

Chapter 7333: The Unstoppable Voribug

The Rubarthan ace mechs raced ahead.

Their mobility was stronger than that of the Ascended Giants. Their compact mech frames hid a lot of power. Their advanced technologies granted them strength and functionality far beyond the standards of other machines of their size.

Eclipsed only by more advanced ace mechs and god mechs, these machines possessed the capital to serve as an object of admiration by the soldiers stationed in this star system.

Even so, the ace mechs did not charge directly towards the massive Level 8 Goliath.

The ace pilots were not stupid. They may be more courageous than other mech pilots, but they still retained enough rationality to know that they were outmatched.

The mutated voribugs did not play by the rules of red humanity.

The so-called Ixith Goliath stole the power that should have been reserved to their own kind and stretched it beyond any known limits!

So far, observers had managed to ascertain that the effective range of the Ixith Goliath’s stolen resonance was comparable to that of a senior ace mech’s domain field.

No human mech pilot was able to replicate such a bizarre phenomenon.

The only phenomenon that was remotely comparable to this was the Command Field of a Saint Commander.

However, the latter possessed additional traits that were very much lacking in the Ixith Goliath’s extraordinary power manifestation.

What else people found odd about the Ixith Goliath was that its stolen resonance was unusually abundant.

Due to its enormous mass and volume, the Ixith Goliath expended its resources at a much higher rate than a typical expert pilot or ace pilot.

To resonate with such a massive body and also empower a large amount of warship-grade attacks consumed so much willpower that a typical expert pilot would have been wrung dry by this time!

Yet the Ixith Goliath seemed to possess an infinite wellspring of willpower.

Nobody knew where all of its willpower was coming from. Was it able to resonate so much without breaking a sweat because it was leveraging its Mentalist Crystal in a new and unfamiliar fashion?

A growing number of mech designers and biotech experts suspected that this may very well be the case.

So what would happen if a human expert pilot or ace pilot leveraged a Mentalist Crystal in a similar fashion?

Perhaps this may lead to an epochal breakthrough that would enable any high-ranking mech pilot to stretch their willpower beyond their limits!

Expert pilots might be able to pilot expert juggernauts en masse!

Ace pilots could gain the ability to empower battleship-sized machines with true resonance!

When people beheld the performance of the Ixith Goliath, they did not necessarily see an unprecedented new enemy that had stolen the power of the human race.

They saw a brand-new application of willpower that could easily be applied to their own inventions!

This was the magic of racial diversity.

For too long, humans held a monopoly on mechs and willpower cultivation.

Now that a random alien race surprisingly managed to break this monopoly, its original take on age-old concepts inspired many mech designers!

Of course, while many people had begun to see the mutated voribug race as a novel source of inspiration, the soldiers on the battlefield did not have the luxury to fantasize about these distant prospects.

They still needed to overcome this final adversary!

The Ascended Giants cautiously advanced. The Divine Harpoon commanded them to control their pace.

There was no need for them to dive in blindly when the Rubarthan ace mechs had already taken the initiative to test the Ixith Goliath’s combat capabilities up close.

The Rubarthan ace mechs possessed a diverse array of ranged armaments.

This made sense as their pilots mostly achieved success with more ordinary first-class multipurpose mechs.

While there were expert pilots and ace pilots who gradually chose to eschew diversity in favor of specialization, maintaining a rich set of armaments remained the norm.

The disadvantage was that every miniaturized weapon system was limited in terms of absolute firepower.

The advantage was that such mechs possessed enough versatility to be able to inflict effective damage to any conceivable enemy.

This philosophy played out once again as the ace mechs intensified their ranged harassment.

Unlike other combat assets, ace pilots possessed superior resonance strength. The quality of their willpower was much stronger than the 30 or so laveres that the Ixith Goliath could produce at this time.

This granted them a potent advantage in their attacks.

While the caliber of their guns were smaller than that of warships and orbital facilities, when their attacks struck the dark brown shells of the Ixith Goliaths, they mostly punched through!

Just as with the case in fights between two high-ranking mechs, the combatant with drastically stronger willpower was easily able to neutralize weaker willpower manifestations.

The weakest Rubarthan ace pilot was able to generate true resonance measuring at least 175 laveres.

This easily crushed any form of stolen resonance based on just 30 laveres!

Though the collisions between different sources of willpower made it seem as if a bunch of adults were beating up a child, other factors made the confrontation a lot less lopsided.

"The Ixith Goliath’s willpower is weak, but it is endless! There is no sign that the megavoribug is experiencing any strain or exhaustion!"

"Despite our superior willpower, it is taking more effort than necessary to push our attacks past this persistent layer of resistance."

"The Level 8 Goliath is too big! Our attacks are leaving marks, but their scale is too limited. It is as if we are launching needles at a human!"

The stolen resonance was ubiquitous. The Ixith Goliath generously empowered his entire body with it, causing not only the outer shell but also the internal flesh to become significantly tougher to damage than normal.

Many humans grew indignant at this display of power!

High-ranking mech pilots usually took advantage of this trick. To see an alien abusing it on a much larger scale drove them mad!

"Thief!"

"The Goliath Hive must die!"

"Pay for the lives that you have deprived!"
