Chapter 6883 Fully Superdimensional As much as Ves wanted to resume his engagement into the ambitious transformation of the World Tree Seed, it was not realistic for him to tackle it right away. He did not have enough time to spare on a project as big as this. He was finally beginning to pick up steam in the Arboreal Project. The advent of the first true mass production version of an Elemental Carmine mech held great significance to Ves. His design philosophy would definitely make a lot of strides if he successfully completed this project according to his vision. He also held a lot of interest in collaborating with Gloriana on a pair of fine machines. The Riot Mark III Project and the Promethea Mark II Project both demanded a great amount of commitment. He cared a lot about the living mechs based on these upgrade projects, so it was best not to divert his attention to a new passion project. Aside from that, he also had to spend his time on other obligations such as helping the Saint Commander organize the Premier Fleet and fulfill his duties as the chief council of the Upper Council of the Red Collective. He also needed to be prepared to divert much of his time to respond to any unanticipated emergencies. War had a habit of surprising many people and upending a lot of plans. Ves was not stupid enough to assume that everything would proceed as he anticipated. With all of this in mind, it was simply the wrong period of time to follow up on Marvaine's idea. Ves let out a regretful sigh before reluctantly chose to set this matter aside. He would not forget about it, but it was best if he waited for a more opportune window of time to attempt a transformation of the second-generation World Tree Seed. Fortunately, a new development took place that completely diverted his attention from the fantasy of creating a biological wonder weapon. A fast courier vessel finally delivered the First Sword Mark III and her famous ace pilot to New Constantinople VIII. The arrival of this powerful pairing generated a notable amount of buzz among high society. It was not a secret that Swordmaster Ketis had successfully designed and fabricated the first full superdimensional mech of the Larkinson Clan. The Mech Supremacist Faction proudly announced this fact through their own channels. It had always prided itself on developing the strongest mechs, and its involvement in the making of the First Sword Mark III was undeniably essential. While the contributions of Ketis to the First Sword Mark III Project could not be denied, much of the high technology that amplified the ace mech's strengths originated from a selection of the best and most cutting-edge design applications of the Red Association. Therefore, it was not wrong to label the First Sword Mark III as a signature work of both the Larkinson Clan and the Red Association. Now, the First Sword Mark III was finally at Ves' disposal. He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. A large greeting party had formed up around the landing zone where the courier vessel was scheduled to arrive. Ves, his wife and their children all stood together while surrounded by their Apocalypse Warden bodyguards. Not that there was much point to the added protection. The first Larkinson superdimensional ace mech possessed so much power that it could probably chop up the entirety of Diandi Base without expending any effort! Even if the Saint Commander piloted the Minerva Mark II and prepared the defenses as much as possible, she still wouldn't be able to make a difference! Ves believed it was completely beyond any single junior ace pilot to threaten the First Sword Mark III. Perhaps certain senior ace pilots might be able to rely on their reality-defying abilities to escape or even fight back against the ace swordsman mech, but they faced an uphill battle if they wanted to resist the Decapitator's edge or penetrate the First Sword's insanely resilient armor plating. The base performance of armor-grade and weapon-grade superdimenional armor was already formidable. Adding true resonance amplification on top of that increased their performance to ridiculous heights! Even a relatively fresh junior ace pilot such as Saint Dise could easily turn her superdimensional machine into an impregnable and inviolable machine when fighting against her peers! The advantages she gained was so unfair that almost every mech pilot in the Red Ocean must feel envious beyond all regard that she possessed such a close and intimate relationship with the swordmaster who earned the blessing of the Heavensword. Even before the First Sword Mark III emerged from the courier vessel's compact cargo bay, the surrounding Larkinsons and allies could already feel the razor-sharp presence of the superdimensional ace mech. Each of them momentarily felt as if the blade of an infinitely sharp sword was pressed against their necks. This was a vague and illusionary sensation, but it was one that evoked such a fatal threat that nobody could remain calm. Fortunately, none of the gathered people consisted of enemies against Dise, Ketis or the Larkinson Clan. Even if a spy successfully managed to infiltrate Diandi Base, Saint Commander Casella and the Minerva Mark II would have been able to root them out a long time ago with the help of their Command Field. Everyone present was friendly, so Saint Dise's domain quickly lost its lethality. While it still retained an uncomfortable degree of sharpness, Dise at least turned its edge away from everyone's necks, thereby making them feel less threatened. Fortunately, many of the gathered people already knew what to expect. They did not really take it in strides that Saint Dise literally possessed the power to cut off their heads all at once if she so chose. Ves smiled wrily as he reflexively rubbed his neck. A human phase lord like himself wouldn't go down so easily, especially since he was carrying a super-class personal shield generator. Yet even he wouldn't stand a chance if the First Sword Mark III moved beyond utilizing her Saint Kingdom and attempted to cut off his head directly with one of her many physical blades. "Look! The First Sword has emerged!" "Wow." "So many blades." Everyone quickly forgot about how easily the ace mech could have snuffed out their lives and soon began to admire the amazing craftsmanship of the legendary swordmaster and her Mech Supremacist collaborators. Sleek. The first word that came to mind when the First Sword emerged was sleek. Despite the insane engineering put into the machine, the ace swordsman mech maintained a somewhat slender and compact profile. This not only minimized the use of armor-grade superdimensional matter, but also kept the machine light and maneuverable. The shiny and reflective gunmetal gray surface conveyed a strong impression of inviolability, yet also remained thin enough to maintain a sleek impression. It would have been so easy for Ketis to make the design choice to turn the First Sword Mark III into a brawler rather than a dancer. The switch would have allowed Saint Dise to fight a lot more aggressively and make a lot of mistakes without suffering any serious consequences. However, Ketis instead chose to stick to her original vision for the First Sword. The application of armor-grade superdimensional alloy remained fairly thin and frugal. Even if it offered the ace mech excellent protection, the buffer was not as great as it could have been. This meant that the ace swordsman mech still had to remain sharp and on her toes. She needed to fight with caution and always resort to evasion rather than resistance whenever possible. If any attack managed to strike the frame of the First Sword Mark III, then the powerhouse had already failed. That combination of sleekness and insanely good armor presented a package of pseudo-invincibility. Few people could ever imagine the First Sword Mark III getting damaged. They all knew that Saint Dise was the second-best evasion artist after Saint Tusa. While no one could beat the Dark Zephyr Mark III in terms of mobility and maneuverability, Ketis and her design team clearly sought to make the First Sword Mark III a respectable second best! This was not the ace swordsman mech's greatest strength. Instead, the Decapitator won that distinction. Although the First Sword Mark III was accompanied by over 33 additional swords, only her original one exuded the greatest amount of lethality. The Decapitator held in the ace mech's hands was long, hard and sharp to a nearly impossible degree. Just trying to examine it was enough to give people a headache! Their eyes felt as if they were about to split apart if they concentrated too closely at the masterwork mech greatsword! The Decapitator had clearly been reforged into a full weapon-grade superdimensional weapon. It was one of the first of its kind, but Ketis and the mechers had certainly outdone themselves. The Decapitator still retained much of the contours and shape of the original mech greatsword, but it had also received countless improvements and optimizations. The blade had certainly become much shinier. The alloys that made up the exterior of the lengthy weapon happened to be even shinier and more reflective than the exterior of the ace mech. Ves already knew that the Decapitator incorporated an updated superdimensional resonating alloy especially designed by the Resonance Smith. Even if it had been a slight effort on the part of the Star Designer, it was still significant for him to upgrade one of his existing products for a privately-owned superdimensional ace mech! This new superdimensional resonating alloy was one of the reasons why few people could concentrate their attention onto the Decapitator without feeling as if they were pressing themselves against its razor-sharp blade. "How wonderful." Gloriana spoke as she obsessed over the weapon. "The Decapitator has become a weapon that rivals or even exceeds the tier 3 Destroyer spear in terms of lethality. They both have their own strong points, but I cannot help but feel that the greatsword has gained a definite edge over the competition." Ves nodded his head. "I feel the same way. Superdimensional alloy plays on a completely different level. The only shortcoming is that it lacks the activity of Destroyer particles." There were certain traits about Destroyer weapons that gave them an advantage over superdimensional weapons, but as far as killing power was concerned, the latter scored better. Properly made superdimensional weapons posed no threat against their own wielders. Outside of clumsy accidents, there was no way the weapons would attempt to backlash against their own wielders. That alone placed superdimensional weapons above Destroyer weapons. The weapons that had become part of a new trend were also much better optimized to fight against the main opposition of the human race. Practically every alien warship and phase leader relied heavily on transphasic defenses to resist a huge amount of attacks. A high-grade superdimensional weapon could cut straight through most azure energy shields and spatial barriers as if they were made out of paper! No transphasic armor or phasewater-infused flesh could offer any resistance against the impossible sharpness of a weapon like the Decapitator. In contrast, Destroyer weapons still had to overload the capacities of energy barriers by relying on the damaging effects of Destroyer particles. Even if these highly concentrated particles could make short work of most defenses, the delays were still significant enough to slow down wielders like the Dark Zephyr Mark III. Yet as much as the Decapitator captivated the imagination of many spectators, most of the gathered people ultimately ended up admiring the blades that hovered behind the Dark Zephyr Mark III. The courier vessel had to be a little larger than usual in order to transport all of the accompanying sword fey. Now, these living blades proudly emerged from the cramped cargo bay and spread behind the First Sword Mark III in a fan shape. It was as if the ace mech had become a metal peacock! 33 superdimensional sword fey resonated with the ace pilot, causing them to glow and convey a collective sense of power that reminded many Larkinsons of battle formations. "Wow." Many people became speechless. They had no way to articulate how they felt about the First Sword Mark III's conversion into a drone mech.
