Chapter 6377 Greater Phase Treasures
Yet as mechs grew larger, they also bore greater burdens. The machines became increasingly more expensive while the improvements began to slow down.
The goal of mech designers had always been to strive for efficiency, not maximum performance.
This was why mechs reached their current proportions and stuck with them for centuries. Multiple generations of trial and error had caused the mech industry to come to a consensus on the ideal size and mass of mechs.
At the current level of human technology and resource availability, it made little sense to deviate from this pattern. There were only a few exceptional situations where mechs of different sizes could offer greater value, but it was generally not worth employing them because deviating from the prevailing standards always came at a price.
In any case, the point was that from the perspective of a mech designer, Ves always thought of phase lords as inferior combat units.
It may be ironic for Ves to form this conclusion considering that he was a phase lord himself, but he genuinely believed this was the case.
When Ves compared the relatively compact and agile Dark Zephyr to the massive and unwieldy Arena Lord, he could clearly tell that his own creation clearly possessed a much higher ratio of combat power per cubic meter!
In other words, the Dark Zephyr derived a lot more power out of the relatively limited quantity of exotics, hypers and phasewater that comprised his mech frame.
The Arena Lord may be more powerful in an absolute sense, but if his true body was cut down to the size of the Dark Zephyr, the latter could easily tear apart the phase lord without breaking a sweat!
Bigger was not always better.
The current situation perfectly showed the consequences of chasing after greater mass without prioritizing efficiency.
The Arena Lord had fought and worked hard to acquire a PPS and increase his phasewater concentration past the limit of a lesser phase lord.

Yet by doing so, his body became so large that his internal cavities not only became large enough to fit a whole mech, but also allow such a machine to commit. process!
This was a humongous vulnerability, especially when your enemies employed a lot of mechs!
This battle taught Ves a very valuable lesson about phase lords and the importance of size. He became a lot less eager to improve his own phasewater concentration. Doing so would just make him bigger while diluting his combat power even further.
Before he took the initiative to improve his phasewater concentration, he needed to put a lot more effort into cultivating his phasewater organs and strengthening his physique! At the very least, Ves needed to mitigate the chances that other mechs could employ the same tactic against his true body!
As the Arena Lord continually tried and failed to impale the Dark Zephyr by stabbing his own Saint Piercer through his body, the greater phase lord obviously began to weaken at an accelerated rate.
The only reason why the Arena Lord still posed a formidable threat was because the Bluejay Fleet needed to destroy a lot more body mass before the nunser phase lord became crippled.
This was obviously one of the instances where bigger was actually better!
The Arena Lord\'s incredibly high durability and vitality had thoroughly impressed the Bluejay Fleet. His means of attack were relatively simple, but his ability to withstand attacks and keep fighting ranked at the top among greater phase lords at his level! Even so, possessing a lot more meat simply meant that the Arena Lord could only prolong his eventual defeat.
Unless he managed to attain an improbable hit on the Dark Zephyr, the nunser phase lord ending became sealed!
Ves instantly began to imagine the immense gains from such a victory.
First, Saint Tusa would definitely harvest a lot of growth from winning this bout. Even if he enjoyed a lot of help, it was undeniable that a junior ace pilot managed to vanquish against a greater phase lord!
Such a feat would become so noteworthy that Tusa would definitely earn a lot of glory and prestige from this victory!
Second, the titanic body of a greater phase lord contained a huge amount of treasures.
Even if the Bluejay Fleet was not able to salvage the entire corpse due to the proximity of so many hostile elements, Ves and his allies should still be able to salvage the most precious and valuable phasewater organs.
Nothing was more valuable than the phasewater production system!
This was the defining organ that separated lesser phase lords from greater phase lords. Only the phase whales were able to reproduce them, and they had long been incredibly stingy at awarding them to the phase lords of other races.
Ves had long desired to attain a phasewater production system for himself. Even if he was not in a hurry to fast-forward his evolution to a greater phase lord, it was still better if he had this powerful organic system on hand when he was finally ready to take the next step in his body cultivation.
Who knew how many years would pass before Ves and the Larkinson Clan attained another opportunity to harvest an intact phasewater production system?
This was the most direct opportunity for him to claim a PPS in advance!
Of course, he also wouldn\'t say no to obtaining a handful of high-quality phasewater organs. They were part of the reason why the Arena Lord of Ya\'gwasa managed to last so long. Ves could never resist the allure of phasewater organs that could increase his defenses and allow him to survive greater dangers than before.
"Tusa!" Ves communicated through the limited Larkinson Network as he knew that it was unlikely that he could reach the Dark Zephyr through a conventional transmission. "You need to cripple and kill the Arena Lord as fast as possible! Don\'t give him any chance to activate any trump cards or commit suicide by blowing up his body. Above all else, do not damage any organs that comprise the phasewater production system! It doesn\'t matter if you cannot recognize them as the Dark Zephyr should have the relevant files in his database. If possible, you can sever the veins that connect the PPS from the rest of the Arena Lord\'s body."
That should hopefully be enough to remind Tusa not to accidentally ruin the most valuable organs inside the Arena Lord\'s body.
Just as Ves was ready to sit back and wait for an inevitable win, a surprising development
took place.
"Professor! The Distance Shaper\'s heat emissions have risen by 20 percent! His
bioactivity is continuing to spike!"
"He is accelerating while also resisting our space suppression field! He is drawing out his
true strength!"
"Slow him down! Do not let him converge on the Arena Lord!"
Ves cursed under his breath. He had always suspected the Distance Shaper of
sandbagging.
He found it strange that the Arena Lord fought so hard while the Distance Shaper hardly seemed to do anything.
The mysterious orven phase lord did not even lift an additional finger when several
arche lesser phase lords started dying!
The fact that he was only willing to expose his true power now must be because he could not afford to let the Arena Lord die!
This made a lot of sense. Lesser phase lords emerged across alien societies every year. Alien individuals only needed a bit of luck, the right methods and lots of phasewater in order to get started as a lesser phase lord.
The conditions to evolve into a greater phase lord was much harsher in comparison. Just the most critical demand of obtaining a PPS had caused a huge number of lesser phase
lords to stagnate!
As badly as Ves wanted to claim the Arena Lord\'s PPS, the Distance Shaper probably
found it even more urgent to deny it from red humanity!
Ves quickly deduced the Distance Shaper\'s intentions.
"The Distance Shaper serves as the failsafe of the enemy team! He has probably been
conserving his energy in order to get ready to escape with the Arena Lord. Do not let him reach his fellow phase lord\'s side!"
As a phase lord, Ves could sense the growing spatial activity inside the orven phase lord\'s
body.
It felt as if the Distance Shaper was preparing to teleport, but in a much more powerful way than Ves could manage by himself!
One mech after another began to assail the Arena Lord and Distance Shaper with
greater intensity. They even took greater risks and closed in so that their space
suppressors impaired the power of their enemies even further.
However, the greater phase lords were pulling out all of the stops in an attempt to
survive and flee with their lives and organs intact!
To the humans, this was no longer about survival. It was about winning. Nobody wanted
to end this hard-fought battle by letting their chief enemies flee! Only by killing them on the spot would they gain the satisfaction of punishing these enemies for attempting to ambush a tier 3 galactic citizen.
Ves followed after the Distance Shaper with a diminished swarm of nanomachine
plagues.
Unfortunately, he lacked the power and the equipment to intervene in a battle of this scale. He would only be putting himself in needless danger if he came any closer. The remaining enemies may even be able to turn this battle around by performing a decapitation strike on himself!
"Damnit, why is this taking so long?!"
The Arena Lord still remained in fighting shape! Even after poking over a dozen holes through his body, his strength and fighting spirit hardly dropped. It would probably take at least a minute or two before he lost his resistance.
The Distance Shaper would be able to reach his buddy a lot sooner than that! As the Distance Shaper\'s body began to emit more and more heat, it actually looked as if
the greater phase lord may be able to accumulate enough power to break the spatial suppression and succeed in getting away!
Ves could not bear the thought of letting the Arena Lord and his valuable PPS get away!
He quickly improvised a plan in a hurry!
"TUSA!" He communicated through the Larkinson Network! "I am about to supercharge
your mech with Worclaw energy through a very special method. It will empower your next attack far beyond its usual limits. I will leave the decision on how to use this opportunity up to you. No matter what you decide, do not give the Arena Lord a chance
to escape from this battlefield!"
"Got it, Ves."
Ves thanked himself that he kept the Larkinson Mandate close to him. If the relic was located outside of the weak spacetime bubble, then it wouldn\'t have been possible for him to communicate with Tusa with so much ease.
"Blinky!"
"Mrow!"
Ves began the complex, multi-step process of connecting to the Dark Zephyr Mark III, which had since been elevated to the masterwork mech, and sending over his companion spirit.
Since the actual distance between Ves and the ace mech was not that great to begin
with, Blinky arrived almost instantly.
The cat then proceeded to empower the entire mech. The tiny Worclaw Crystal glowed
bright as Ves actively channeled a large amount of his Worclaw energy reserves to his companion spirit.
He knew it was risky, but he wanted to claim a PPS so badly that he was willing to expend 80 percent of his slow-recovering Worclaw energy at once! This would leave him with a paltry reserve of just 20 percent to deal with any subsequent crises that may occur with Yernstall, but he didn\'t care about that anymore.
Just as the Dark Zephyr became more charged with extraordinary energies than ever, the ace light skirmisher finally made his move just as the Distance Shaper came close enough to commence his emergency evacuation ability.
For a moment, a bright but shadowy streak seared into everyone\'s eyes.
It was as if nothing else existed besides that streak.
Once Ves and the other humans recovered their sight, they watched with astonishment
at what just happened.
The Dark Zephyr Mark III had just pulled off the Dark Wind Passage Ultimate Ability
again! The ace light skirmisher held the tier 3 Destroyer spear forward and sped forth through a shadow dimension with so much momentum that he not only punched another hole through the Arena Lord\'s torso, but also went on to collide against the Distance Shaper!
In just a fraction of a second, the Dark Zephyr forcibly breached the Distance Shaper\'s spatial barrier, penetrated his much weaker physical body, and burst out of the greater phase lord\'s back with indomitable momentum!
The result was that the two greater phase lords incurred massive injuries!
The injury to the much less physically imposing Distance Shaper was especially acute!
Whether Saint Tusa deliberately aimed for it or not, his Dark Zephyr Mark III just so happened to punch through the phasewater organs that were meant to breach the spatial suppression fields and teleport the greater phase lords away!
This meant that the Distance Shaper had lost the capacity to escape the battlefield with
the easiest method at his disposal!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ves instantly perked up when he made this realization. Obtaining a single phasewater production system would be great. Obtaining 2 of them was even better!
