Ship girl acquired!

Unlike the originally masculine Fire Elemental, the shape he had adopted after getting flooded with an excessive amount of human faith was distinctly feminine in appearance!

It’s funny to watch others suffer from tangling with the devil tongue. Not so much being forced to tangle with it yourself.

Ves' words seemed to spread a subtle ripple of fear. As much as he had contributed to a worthy endeavor, everyone had more than enough of his creative ideas for one day!

What an interesting suggestion. Personally really like the idea of a kinship network. It would be a spiritual version of Archie honestly. Personally would suggest making the totem a human though so all members can understand it and rather than family like the larkinson clan, have it focus on fellow humanity/professionalism/unified goal of human advancement (aka make everyone feel like a valued coworker who are working to help all of humanity become better). Maybe in the early days have a council of members to get things off the ground but have it be limited terms with the spirit being the tie breaker/final say

"I have been putting a little thought on an alternative solution that sidesteps the problems of the prior models." He slowly said. "It takes a bit of explanation to understand it in full, but if I have to summarize it, I think it is best for me to employ my kinship networks to bind large groups of people to powerful entities. These 'spirits' or gods if you will are theoretically the embodiment of the collective will and desires of a distinct population. That means that they are qualified to represent that group in the main decision-making organ of the Red Collective. Are you following me so far?"

So satisfying

Astrid had no words anymore. She looked as if her operating system had encountered two conflicting directives and decided to crash.

Definitely feel this is hypocritical considering she used “true mech” as an example without being willing to elaborate on details to allow counter arguments

"Thank you, governor. I would like to inform the public that Professor Larkinson's latest statement is an unsubstantiated claim that has no proof or strong theories behind it. Neither theory nor empirical data can add substance to his spurious claim. The public must remain vigilant of claims made without sufficient backing. Science is based on facts, not guesses. The inventor of living mechs may be right, or he may be wrong, but in the absence of any solid arguments, it would be wise to disregard his latest statements and maintain a skeptical mindset."

I knew this would be the counter! The whole concept of a true mech sounded anti breakthrough!

This time, the old woman did not offer a reply. She simply remained silent, making it clear that the question had touched into forbidden territory.

Feel like the nuclear option is going to be needed since this is only day 1 of a three day event

Ves raised his eyebrow at his Transhumanist advisor. "So what do you suggest I do? Should I spill the beans about Carmine mechs?"

Glados is ready to assist

"You are not a mech." Professor Loban interjected. "Never think that you are a mech or an object. You are a human that has become fundamentally altered due to circumstances outside of your control. So long as you are still able to demonstrate that you have retained a measure of your humanity, we will always treat you as one of our own. Please feel at ease. We shall try our best to undo the transformation that has caused you to turn into this form, but if that is not possible… we would be more than willing to give you a new home in one of our safe and cozy experimental facilities…"

Oh that was a satisfying chapter!

Though the demonstration did not reveal too much, what everyone saw just now made many of them suspect that the newly introduced mech model had just redefined the concept of heavy artillery!

And ironically, Irene’s bond with Ves resumes being vital again

"Then you cannot proceed alone. You MUST work together with Star Designer." Cynthia seriously said.

Hope Irene becomes a more frequently reoccurring character. She is great!

"That is a good question. It is also a dangerous one. You are not ready to get involved in matters of this level. No matter what sort of accomplishments you have made, you are only a Senior Mech Designer for the time being. You need to grow up more. What I can say to you is that my personal stance is that the cosmopolitans are better off dead. They have become so greedy for your bounty that they will persistently threaten your life in the years to come. This is an intolerable affront. If not for the fact that the cosmopolitans are so difficult to track down, I would have set out and crushed each and everyone of them with my Ragnarok after they dared to claim your life. No one is allowed to threaten my friend!"

Ketis might have competition for best girl status

The god pilot responded with a genuine smile. "I am happy today. I have finally met the only person in the Red Ocean who knows where I truly came from. You are my creator. As far as I am concerned, I am your greatest work. None of your mech designs have contributed to our civilization as much as setting me up for ultimate success. My friendship is only the least of what you deserve for everything that you have done."

I knew it!

"Do you know why this event is so rare to the point where it is unheard of among most Seniors and Masters? It is because this is a phenomenon that often precedes the creation of a grand work. Not every lightning tribulation leads to the formation of a grand work, but even if your amazing Elemental Lord fell short of that impossible standard, it would have excelled in a different way."

That cliffhanger is mean!

This was already a sign that a chain reaction was about to take place!

Woot! Reference to the blacksmith he worked with earlier

A single, clear melodious tone harmonized throughout the entire mech frame!

Wasn’t that the expected outcome?

"What?!" Ves gasped as he almost jumped off his couch. "What is she doing?! Is the Evolution Witch actually attempting to snatch the Singularity Lord's body?!"
