The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7572

Chapter 7572: Tangible and Intangible

Chosen Envoys were not weak.

Although they followed a completely different power system from other people, Chosen Envoys clearly weren’t made to fight ordinary soldiers.

Ever since Imon Ingvar assumed his current form, he silently grew stronger while he resided at the Sacred Temple.

As an intangible life form, the present incarnation of Imon lacked a physical body.

No, that was not an entirely accurate description.

He had become a peculiar variation of a qi-based life form.

Ves was not unfamiliar with such entities. The design spirits that he had made or brought under his banner also carried this label.

However, there were big differences between intangible life forms.

Spirits such as Qilanxo, Vulcan and the Superior Mother were primarily anchored in the spiritual realm.

They possessed a very weak presence in the material realm.

Unless they had transcended into True Gods, the only way for them to interact with the material realm was through agents, idols or other material anchors.

Even if they had become powerful enough to manifest a formidable avatar into the material realm, the cost often exceeded any potential gains.

This was why even the more powerful ancestral spirits such as Gaia and the Superior Mother continued to exert their influence through proxies and vessels. They only needed to pay a fraction of the price to get stuff done.

Chosen Envoys were different.

At least in the case of Imon Ingvar, a Chosen Envoy was meant to fight or intercede on behalf of their patron.

That meant that the previous modus operandi was entirely unsuitable for Chosen Envoys. They needed to gain the capacity to take direct action when necessary.

Therefore, the first Chosen Envoy created with the help of the Mech Designer System not only retained a solid presence in the spiritual realm, but also had another foot in the material realm!

To be honest, Ves could not describe the exact state of Imon Ingvar at this time. He still retained his intangibility, but he apparently possessed the ability to inflict attack material targets and inflict real damage on them... somehow.

Of course, the glowing gigantic humanoid projection still lacked a sense of sharpness and lethality.

Even when Saint Commander Casella Ingvar had ’enthroned’ her reborn brother with her willpower, the addition of true resonance did not necessarily make the Chosen Envoy ready for his debut performance.

"He’s like a giant that is fresh off the conversion lab." The Dark Apostle commented. "As impressive as he is for being able to carry so much true resonance, what is he going to do with all of that power? Is he going to punch the Blackwater Summoner with his half-false, half-real fists?"

The giant leader’s words clearly hinted at what was missing from this picture.

Gear!

More specifically, combat gear!

Imon in his form as the Chosen Envoy only wore an occult-like robe that befitted a warrior who experienced rebirth in a sense.

These robes were probably not even real per se. They only existed to grant the Chosen Envoy a healthy heap of modesty.

This was clearly not the optimal state for Imon Ingvar to fight against a powerful opponent.

The Blackwater Summoner or the other greater phase whale possessed far too many advantages. Their Saint Armors alone probably made them completely impervious to his attacks regardless of whether he could channel true resonance.

Willpower possessed the ability to distort reality, but it worked best when it already had a solid basis in reality.

As such, a Chosen Envoy fell far short of specialized expert mech or ace mech.

Imon did not integrate any resonating materials into his development.

As far as Ves was aware of, Imon kept himself busy all these months by relying on a combination of passive E energy absorption and active training.

One of the biggest losses that Imon had suffered upon his transformation into a Chosen Envoy was that he could no longer fight like his old self anymore.

He lacked the willpower and expert mech to replicate his old feats.

His present incarnation had nothing to do with mechs. He may have gained the power to fight while remaining ’naked’, but he had lost the most precious traits that allowed high-ranking mech pilots to dominate the battlefield.

Yet just because he manifested in this state did not mean he had to remain this way.

Blinky turned to the Victrix hovering close at hand.

The majestic green-and-golden owl continued to serve her purpose by acting as a living relay for Casella’s Command Field.

Yet that was only several major purposes for the Victrix. The Ultimate Module and living fey was not this large for nothing!

Upon receiving a silent command from Ves, the glowing Imon Ingvar immediately turned and flew towards the Victrix!

Soon, his intangible form disappeared inside the beautiful metallic owl, causing it to glow brighter while also falling under the control of not one, but two Ingvars!

At this moment, Casella readily handed the reins of control to the entity that she treated as her brother.

She actually wished to give Imon a better opportunity to fight by letting him control the Minerva Mark II directly!

After all, a former high-tier expert pilot would be able to exert his strength a lot better through a humanoid mech rather than an avian construct.
