The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7386

Chapter 7386: The Final Opponent

Ves had to admit that he underestimated the Voice of Liberty.

He managed to complete the first 3 phases of the Mech Body Merger Process.

It turned out that Saint Conrad Morgenstern was not only a schemer, but also an opportunist.

When the ace pilot slowly merged his physical human form with the less definable existence of his mech, Ves could vaguely sense clear similarities between this case and that of the Riot Mark III!

It became obvious that the Voice of Liberty had taken notes during his encounter with the Riot Mark III.

Perhaps in his eyes, the superdimensional ace mech was less of an obstacle and more of a teaching example!

Though Ves considered Conrad’s conduct to be a little shameful, all was fair in love and war.

Given such an ’excellent’ example of a version of corporeal union between pilot and machine, how could the radical saint not resist the urge to attempt a similar transformation?

Of course, the two cases still diverged a lot from each other.

The Sound of Revolution was nothing like the Riot Mark III.

The former had never been turned into a D-mech, and did not possess a particularly strong and adversarial living spirit.

Though Ves could not deny that long and extensive use of the guitar-wielding mech by a particularly powerful ace pilot had caused it to develop a life of its own, the Sound of Revolution still lacked the qualities that stimulated Saint Orfan’s successful breakthrough!

Ves grew concerned about that. He did not think it was a good idea for the Voice of Liberty to rashly copy a model that worked well enough for Saint Orfan but not necessarily for himself.

Oh well.

The man who aspired to become a god clearly did not let these doubts and considerations hold him back.

The fourth phase commenced.

At this time, the boundaries between Conrad Morgenstern and the Sound of Revolution had already blurred to non-existence.

The man was the mech and vice versa.

Due to withdrawal of the Saint Kingdom, the people in the vicinity did not get subjected to any excessive pressure.

The only influence that continued to affect their moods was the guitar music that had softened up and developed a more anticipatory Chapter.

The Voice of Liberty knew that the most crucial phase had arrived.

After completing three arduous and costly phases, he had reached a highly unstable state of existence.

Though he had technically merged into his machine, his current state was not stable in the slightest.

Ves had the feeling that if the hopeful pilot made a single crucial misstep, he would lose complete control of himself and completely burst apart!

The loss of an absolute corporeal form apparently was a very big deal.

Not only had he sacrificed the human body that nurtured him and anchored his willpower for most of his life, but his mech had also turned into a type of energy object, causing it to become less suitable to anchoring his existence in the material realm.

Therefore, the most important step that remained was to ascend to a higher level of existence!

The only way the bloated and overloaded version of the Voice of Liberty could maintain his existence as an energy-based life form was to become a god that encapsulated both a being of extraordinary willpower as well as a powerful machine!

There was truly no way back for him. He did not even have any opportunity to rest and recover, as his current state was highly volatile.

The Voice of Liberty decisively commenced the fourth phase of the Mech Body Merger Process.

Total union.

The phrase suggested that the Voice of Liberty had not yet fully merged with his mech, which was technically true.

Despite merging his Saint Kingdom and his physical body with the Sound of Revolution, he still had not merged the totality of his willpower into his current state.

This step was rightfully considered the hardest of all because the pilot in question had to merge two different forms of energy into a single impossible amalgamation.

Willpower was highly exclusionary in nature.

Sure, Saint Morgenstern was able to use it to resonate with his ace mech and develop a bond with it in the process.

Yet that was more of a partnership than a total and complete union.

Although he had already completed an important step by merging his Saint Kingdom with his mech, that was just folding a byproduct more than anything.

The true criteria for attaining total union was to fuse his extraordinary willpower into his highly enriched mech to the point they became indistinguishable from each other!

Total union could be seen as a true miracle, as it was a concrete manifestation of an impossible phenomenon.

This was also another reason why it was considered the hardest step of all. The preceding steps could also be regarded as impossible phenomena, but the pilot only needed to bend reality to a moderate degree in order to make them happen.

What needed to happen next corresponded to a difficulty to a much higher order!

"I AM THE MASTER OF MY WILLPOWER, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!"

The Voice of Liberty’s self-declaration encapsulated his final struggle.

The willpower that he had cultivated for most of his career had ironically become the ultimate stumbling block of his ascension!

While it was true that he was the origin of his own power, the latter possessed intrinsic traits that he had long taken advantage of, but now had to overcome through his own efforts!

In other words, Saint Conrad Morgenstern’s final opponent as a mortal existence was himself!

This was an incredibly confounding situation.

For a long time, high-ranking mech pilots relied on their willpower to defeat other opponents.

Yet when they had reached far enough to reach the final phase of their path to godhood, they were all confronted by the source of their own strength.

"HEAR ME, CITIZENS OF RED HUMANITY! TODAY, I PLEDGE TO BECOME YOUR VOICE. I SHALL LISTEN TO THE MAJORITY AND GIVE CONSIDERATION TO THE MINORITY. I SHALL GIVE POWER TO THE VOICES OF THE UNDERSERVED. I SHALL NOT BE IMPARTIAL, BECAUSE INDIFFERENCE CUTS THE DEEPEST. I SHALL BE YOUR SHIELD AGAINST THE ENEMIES FROM WITHOUT, BUT I SHALL ALSO BE YOUR SWORD AGAINST THE ENEMIES FROM WITHIN. IF YOU WISH TO SUPPORT MY CAUSE, THEN PRAY FOR MY SUCCESS!"
