The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7384

Chapter 7384: The Human Consensus

The Voice of Liberty did not listen.

This was typical for a rebel and an outcast like himself.

For his entire life, he had never quite fit in with others.

This was not due to selfishness or ignorance.

He was simply a principled man whose values did not quite fit with the current society.

As he continued to stimulate himself through unknown but undoubtedly costly means, he eventually reached the limit of his rank.

Then he chose to push through this barrier without any intention of holding back or delaying this life-changing decision until he was better prepared!

It was one thing to speak about it. It was another thing to actually go through with such a crazy plan!

Ves and the Dark Apostle both felt incredibly shocked as well as more uncomfortable.

They practically had a front-row seat to one of the most profound and impressive ascension processes that a human could embark upon!

To Blinky’s spiritual senses, it was as if the potent extraordinary willpower of the opposing saint had chosen to compress itself to the point of breaking its equilibrium!

"Saint Conrad Morgenstern has done it." Gloriana transmitted to Ves through a communication channel that gained slight interference due to the rapidly rising signal interference from the senior ace mech. "As of this moment, he has become the latest in a long line of ace pilots who have chosen to shed the remaining parts of their mortality in an attempt to become divine."

Her words and tone conveyed a certain attitude that aligned with that of Ves and most others.

Ves took a metaphorical breath and issued a proclamation. "Please let it be known that we stand witness to Saint Conrad Morgenstern’s attempt at attaining godhood. No matter his faults, sins, transgressions, it is all trivial compared to the potential rise of another deity of the human race. I, and the forces that answer to me, shall not do anything to inhibit or sabotage his breakthrough attempt. We shall stop and enact immediate punishment on anyone who defies this directive. At the same time, we shall endeavor to guard the Voice of Liberty against any third parties that possess malicious intentions."

It did not surprise Ves very much that the forces that comprised the escort fleet did not object to his latest command.

They very naturally agreed with the central idea that the rise of a possible ninth god pilot of red humanity outweighed every other concern or priority.

The politics surrounding stolen resonance technology simply did not matter anymore.

Even if the new god pilot would make every use of his newly gained power and influence to stop this controversial tech from proliferating, it was none of their business.

The tier 1 galactic citizens that had previously chosen to ignore and belittle the Voice of Liberty could take care of this problem case!

In fact, Ves doubted that any of the strong proponents of stolen resonance technology would take action to sabotage Saint Morgenstern’s effort and doom him to annihilation.

Even they valued the rise of another god pilot that could shoulder the burden of protecting red humanity’s borders.

This was a reflection of how much the human race valued its god pilots.

In a sense, the Voice of Liberty’s fears may have been overblown.

Despite the fast-moving changes of the Age of Dawn, high-ranking mech pilots still had little to fear of losing their honored status in human civilization.

At most, they might have to welcome actual competition that could compete for them in terms of status and prestige.

Yet the fact that they were undeniably strong and capable of single-handedly winning decisive battles could never be disregarded.

The hope of gaining another invincible battle god was the main reason why everyone had suddenly taken Saint Morgenstern’s side at this time.

Both of them may have been enemies earlier, but when it came down to it, they were both loyal members of the human race.

Ves actually believed that even if the Voice of Liberty professed to be a member and an ardent supporter of the Cosmopolitan Movement, he would still invite everyone’s praise and service!

As he and his other self continued to witness the incredibly bright form of the Sound of Revolution beginning to melt and become more amorphous, Gloriana suddenly shared her speculation.

"I GET IT NOW, VES!" She announced! "The Voice of Liberty’s decision to initiate his breakthrough at this circumstance is not a spontaneous decision. It is part of a premeditated plan of his! He intended to confront our fleet and defeat our opposition from the start. He also did not plan to complete his stated goal before he chose to make an attempt at completing his path to godhood."

Her speculation caused Ves to break out of his mindless admiration and apply a more critical perspective on the situation.

Blinky’s glowing eyes widened in realization!

It was as if a curtain had parted before his eyes. Now that he figured out the truth, it became quite obvious what the Voice of Liberty intended all along!

"I think you’re right, Gloriana! This bastard of a senior ace pilot did not impulsively choose to forsake everyone’s expectations and defy the current order. He took a very calculated series of steps that not only caused him to burn all of his bridges, but staked his life on completing his stated goal! Only by defying all odds and succeeding where most of his kind has failed will he be able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!"

"Exactly!"

The path to godhood was a long and arduous journey.

Yet everyone knew that it was particularly perilous at the very end.

"Wait." Ves made another realization. "Do you think the god pilots refused to parlay with him because they figured out his actual plan?"

"I guess his fight against Saint Orfan is just a warmup." Ves depreciatingly said. "It was a nice extra that our latest high-ranking mech gave him enough of an excercise to get his blood pumping."
