The Mech Touch - Chapter 7201

Just as Ves looked forward to receiving a profound lesson from his mother, she soon disappointed him with her next words.

""

The Superior Mother gazed lovingly at his giant son’s face.

""

The recently born entity adopted a humble posture in front of his apparent mother. ""

""

"Hey! I was doing my best, alright?!"

The Dark Apostle shuddered. ""

""

Ves understood what she was talking about.

"

The Superior Mother nodded.

""

"" The Dark Apostle earnestly asked.

"" She said. ""

The Dark Apostle would be a fool if he disregarded his mother’s gift.

"" He asked.

""

Ves shuddered as soon as she spoke that word. The Dark Apostle also felt a trill of fear coursing through his true body.

It was as if the very mention of this concept brought their doom a little closer.

"This concept... is tied to that dark existence... right?"

The Superior Mother nodded. ""

"

""

His mother did something that Ves was not able to detect.

He guessed that she was imitating the process of ingesting an enlightenment fruit to the Dark Apostle.

It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that she was able to replicate or imitate this System function given her vast knowledge and power. Even if her own method was not as good as the genuine article, it was enough so long as it did the job.

The Dark Apostle soon regained his wits. ""

His mother imparted him with a large amount of theory, but did not instill the muscle memory, physical skills and instincts to perform the new weapon art.

Perhaps she had the power to do so, but deliberately withheld these benefits so that the Dark Apostle would spend the time to master his new art step-by-step.

"" His mother generously said. ""

"How so?" Ves asked as he grew very interested in this statement.

He felt as if his mother had just voiced a profound truth.

""

That sounded extremely unlikely. Ves and Blinky could only wield so much darkness energy at any time. It didn’t seem as if this quantity was enough to produce such a profound effect.

However, that was when they relied on their current proficiency in E energy manipulation.

If they deepened their mastery of the withering curse and improved their techniques until they were able to reach an efficiency rate of over 90 percent like his mother, then it may actually be possible to make this scenario happen!

Unfortunately, Ves estimated that it would take at least several decades of patient study, practice and dangerous experimentation to reach this level of mastery and proficiency.

"I think I understand." Ves said with a hint of gratitude. "More stable elements such as the five classical elements are much more orderly. The input is always proportional to the output. The same is not necessarily the case with darkness. It defies order so much that it is possible to yield an exaggerated level of output with just a small amount of input. The difficulty is trying to make this happen in a consistent manner."

Ves could think of many potential gains if he was able to master this phenomenon!

Breaking the law of conservation of energy should be as easy as eating breakfast for him. This could be incredibly useful if he was able to incorporate into his mech designs as well as his phase lord gear!

""

""

The passage of time began to speed up again. The Oblivion Empress had lifted the abnormal state that caused the three’s thinking and perception to run a lot faster than normal.

Nothing much seemed to have changed. The Superior Mother had just manifested herself into Blinky’s form and the Oscillating Fist had just assumed another defensive stance in order to meet the second charge.

Though he could no longer rely on his energy defenses, the Oscillating Fist still radiated a huge amount of confidence!

He was convinced that he would be able to block the second explosive charge attack!

Once the Dark Apostle had run out of blast lances, the Oscillating Fist should easily be able to run down his opponent in time and win the duel!

Sadly for him, he never understood that he had made a fatal mistake in the previous negotiations.

From the moment the Superior Mother answered the call, Ves knew that the outcome of this duel was already set.

A part of him felt bad about depriving the Oscillating Fist of the ’honorable’ duel that he craved, but if he truly wanted a good fight, then he should have abided by the terms of the agreement!

There was no obligation for Ves to make things fair for the current polemarchos anymore!

At this time, the manifestation of the Superior Mother had already merged into the Dark Apostle’s true body.

Under her expert guidance, the Dark Apostle began to circle around in order to accumulate momentum for his next charge.

He also began to draw upon a huge amount of darkness energy in the environment.

The energy vortex created by their mother was much larger and more powerful than what they could produce themselves!

A massive amount of darkness energy began to gather in the raiment as well as the blast lance.

This immediately became evident to outside observers as the darkness miasma that formed around the Dark Apostle grew thicker and much more ominous than past manifestations!

It was as if the Dark Apostle had become a genuine darkness deity. Any form of light and radiation seemed to grow progressively weaker until disappearing entirely.

Even the stars in the background appeared to dim in his presence. Those who continued to gaze at him even began to feel a primordial fear that their lives did not matter at all in the presence of this foreboding phase lord!
