The Mech Touch

Chapter 6733  The Self-Defense Problem

The Victrix added a lot of useful functionality to the Minerva.
One of the persistent constraints of ace pilots or any high-ranking god pilot for that matter was their inability to project their power in multiple locations at once.
Their power was concentrated in themselves, and that was a deliberate choice. Only by condensing their power to the extreme would they be able to reach critical mass and expand their force of will into a powerful domain.
Developing a domain put ace pilots ahead when it came to direct combat. Their willpower had already reached a state that was so strong that they could directly change the laws of reality in an area around their bodies!
Yet even if they resonated with an ace mech that was meticulously tailored to complement their abilities, there was only so far their domain field could reach.
Not even god pilots were able to project their God Kingdoms across light-years, let alone light-hours!
As powerful as they became, the basis of their strength still relied on the concentration of willpower. If they were characters in a role-playing game, then they pretty much invested all of their level-up points into density instead of reach.
What was interesting about ace commanders like Casella Ingvar was that she was one of the few rare exceptions to this pattern.
Her Command Field was way bigger than that of a typical Saint Kingdom.
Unfortunately, the price she paid for this was that she was unable to form a typical Saint Kingdom. Her ability to fortify her own ace mech and amplify her direct combat capabilities had already fallen behind compared to her peers.
If the Minerva Mark II by herself sparred directly against the Dark Zephyr Mark III, the Amaranto Mark III or even the Lionheart that had yet to be upgraded into a proper ace mech, the former would lose 10 out of 10 times!
This was not only because the Minerva Mark II was only able to generate a form of true resonance whose quality was better than that of a high-tier expert mech, but fell short of that of a junior ace mech.
This was undoubtedly an awkward situation to be in!
Unlike Saint General Ark Larkinson who at least possessed a strong enough ego to condense all of his willpower into himself, Saint Commander Casella Ingvar had clearly made the deliberate decision to fully delegate her power to her subordinates!
