The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7383

Chapter 7383: The Decisiveness of a Rogue Saint

The rejection must have stung.

After kicking up so much fuss, the Voice of Liberty failed to convince the true bigshots into revealing themselves.

This made the gap between ace pilots and god pilots more profound.

The former struggled to convince others to listen, while the latter already gained the privilege to ignore anyone they liked.

The decisive response from the powers of be constituted an answer in itself. It carried many undertones, some of which could only be understood by the recipient himself.

Even though Ves did not agree with his adversary’s radical perspective, he could still empathize with the realization that you were too insignificant to be addressed.

Of course, he also recognized that this situation made things worse for himself.

Having been denied an audience by the high-and-mighty god pilots, the Voice of Liberty’s became even more incensed!

The Sound of Revolution’s specially designed fingers began to strum a more jagged and grungy guitar tune.

His Saint Kingdom and his long-range energy field seemed to increase in intensity. Everyone within the area of effect felt as if invisible sound waves tried to shake their heads apart.

Not even the Dark Apostle and Ves could block out all of the pain and discomfort. Saint Morgenstern possessed the rare ability to convert his own music into resonating sound waves that transcended ordinary boundaries.

Backed with his impressive resonance strength, his music gained transcendent properties that did far more than stimulate one’s ears.

In his world, the only voice that counted was his own.

Unfortunately, his strength still remained inadequate.

He could not reach out across light-years and force the True Gods of red humanity to listen to his voice.

Without enough power, he ultimately lacked the qualifications to negotiate with them as equals.

To the tier 1 galactic citizens, Saint Morgenstern was little different from a terrorist who hijacked a passenger liner and threatened to crash the vessel into a planet.

While the losses that would ensue from such an incident was regrettable, the consequences were still tolerable.

Perhaps the bigshots had already written off the captured Ixith Goliath and formulated plans to capture other specimens.

The more the enemy saint thought about how he got dismissed, the more he became incensed!

As the only representative of the power structure that had cruelly rejected him and pushed him into extremism, Ves suddenly became the center of his attention.

He and the Dark Apostle could feel the saint’s glare against their souls.

Multi-layered music assaulted their senses. It was as if the enemy saint tried to convey his displeasure in a language that only he had mastered.

"LARKINSON." Saint Morgenstern spoke with a greater timbre and echo, as if he had removed himself a little further from his own humanity. "I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR MESSAGE. MY RESPONSE IS THIS. SINCE THE DIVINITIES THAT I ONCE LOOKED UP TO HAS SEEN FIT TO INSULT ME WITH THEIR CALLOUS INDIFFERENCE, THEN I WILL FORCE THEM TO DIRECT THEIR FULL ATTENTION TO ME. PAY ATTENTION TO ME, MECH DESIGNER. REGISTER MY WORDS AND STAND WITNESS FOR WHAT I AM ABOUT TO EMBARK UPON."

Question marks appeared above Blinky’s head.

"Huh? What are you... what are you planning to do, Morgenstern?"

The opposing ace mech’s Saint Kingdom began to change. Its aura became sharper and more focused. It no longer compressed outwards, but started to press inwards, making it more condensed and concentrated.

The guitar music generated by the Sound of Revolution still possessed a lot of discordancy, but it was building up to something.

The multi-layered music began to follow a melody that possessed a more positive bent. It conveyed feelings of hope and aspiration.

Ves had no ear for music and did not possess the understanding or appreciation to interpret the meaning behind all of the notes.

However, even a dummy like himself could sense that the saint had made an extremely fateful decision that might save him or doom him forever!

"Ves!" Gloriana’s voice shouted over the private communication channel. "The resonance meters have detected alarming activity from the senior ace mech. The Voice of Liberty is artificially stimulating his resonance strength. If our instruments are still accurate, it has already shot past 1530 laveres and is continuing to press upwards at a decelerating rate!"

"What?!"

"There is more! According to our other sensors, this growth process is highly abnormal. It does not appear to be temporary in nature. The Voice of Liberty... is deliberately paying a heavy price to permanently increase the upper boundary of his willpower!"

This was incredibly significant!

Due to the non-linearity of the lavere scale, an increase of just 1 lavere at the upper end of the scale signified a potent increase in actual power.

Senior ace pilots often had to struggle more to grow their resonance strength to the limit of their ranks.

"Morgenstern! What are you doing?!"

"HAVE YOU NOT DEDUCED THE ANSWER ALREADY, MECH DESIGNER?"

Ves’ mood grew even more turbulent. "Are you seriously thinking about... initiating the Mech Body Merger Process at this current time and place?"

"YES."

"You... you don’t know what you are doing! This is crazy!" Ves roared, his concern for the Voice of Liberty’s future surpassing any other priority! "Your base resonance strength is already pretty high, but it is still far short of reaching the limit of 1545 laveres! Forcing yourself to skip so many steps to meet the minimum requirement to start a breakthrough will only doom your chances of success! Pull back! It is not too late!"

"MY MIND IS ALREADY SET. WEAKNESS IS THE ROOT OF MY FAILURE. IF I WANT TO START A REVOLUTION THAT WILL ENSURE THAT MECH PILOTS RECEIVE THE APPRECIATION THAT THEY DESERVE IN THIS NEW AGE, THEN I WILL HAVE TO STAND UP TO THEM IN THE ONLY MANNER THAT COUNTS. BECOMING A GOD PILOT WILL SOLVE ALL OF MY PROBLEMS."

"If you want to become a god pilot whose voice will definitely be heard, then you need to be more patient! There is no rush, Morgenstern! The path to godhood is a marathon from beginning to end. Trying to sprint at the last few legs of the journey will most definitely cause you to throw away all of the effort that you have invested in your progression!"
