The Mech Touch novel Chapter 1419

What if Ves met a stranded pirate ship out in space one day?

What if he opened a channel to the pirate ship and offered to rescue the men trapped within?

What if the pirates inside cussed and hurled insults at him, all the while their starship was falling apart?

What if the starship started to break up and throw every pirate into lifeless space?

At that point, many of those pirates quickly changed their mind and accepted the hand that was offered to them. They meekly boarded the vessel of their rescuer and profusely showed their gratitude as their comrades were fished out of their distressed ship.

Of course, once all of the pirates found safety by entering a new ship, they immediately turned on their rescuer and tried to hijack their ride!

This was exactly what Ves faced, because as soon as he slurped all the spirituality that Zeigra still retained and dumped it into his mind, the beast instantly rebelled!

\"AHH! You ungrateful pussycat!\" Ves yelled as he held his head in pain!

\"Meow?!\"

Lucky jumped from his shoulder and floated in the air, looking worried at his owner’s state. The gem cat could do nothing to help Ves out in his spiritual struggles.

Ves could only rely on himself to fight his spiritual battles!

Right now, he faced a rebellion in the sanctum of his mind! The damaged but still vigorous spirituality of the slain Crown Cat refused to stay put and lashed out in every direction, inflicting an increasing amount of damage to his mentality!

Fortunately, his mind proved to be resilient, but he couldn’t afford to keep this up forever.

Letting Zeigra’s spirituality enter his mind was a bad idea. Keeping him contained in his mind where Zeigra was free to vandalize his mentality with impunity sounded even worse!

He quickly began to suppress the unruly spiritual entity. Because Ves was defending the interior of his mind, he was able to leverage a lot more spiritual strength to contain Zeigra for now, but how long would he be able to last?

\"Pipe down, Zeigra!\" He mentally yelled. \"You’re not going to come back to life if you keep resisting against me like this! Be patient and let me craft your body!\"

Unfortunately, even if Zeigra’s spirituality understood his intentions, the beast continued to resist the suppression.

After several minutes of wrangling, Ves realized that Zeigra was simply far too feral for Ves to tame! This prideful beast who fought his way to the top of Felixia food chain could not tolerate submitting to someone else, let alone the person responsible for killing his physical body!

A Crown Cat could not tolerate any affront to his dignity! Zeigra especially wasn’t able to stomach submitting to a tiny, soft, bipedal snack who shouldn’t have been able to pose a threat to him at all if not for their strange-tasting machines!

Ves partially regretted bringing Zeigra’s spirituality in his mind, though he knew it was a necessary step to rescue it from the vagaries of the imaginary realm.

The good news was that its deterioration slowed down enormously.

The bad news was that it began to sustain itself from Ves’ own body and mind! It lodged itself in his head like a parasite!

Not only that, but Zeigra was greedy for more! He wanted to supplant Ves as the dominant consciousness!

\"Screw you, you dumb cat!\"

Ves suppressed Zeigra’s spirituality as best he could, but he knew the disembodied beast would never subside as long as an opportunity was still within reach.

Hosting Zeigra’s complete spirituality in his mind was a lot different from hosting Qilanxo’s spiritual fragment!

Just like the Sacred God herself, Qilanxo’s spiritual fragment regarded Ves as a friend and tried to do its best to withhold its formidable and damaging spiritual energy within itself.

Zeigra on the other hand tried to do everything possible to hurt and weaken Ves! The cat felt no gratitude for the rescue but instead saw it as an opportunity to turn the tables and come out on top!

\"A beast is a beast! No matter how smart they’re engineered, they’re still governed by their baser instincts!\"

Ves grossly overestimated the degree of rationality exhibited by organic products. Zeigra may be sentient, but it never enjoyed a human upbringing! It was a mistake to assume that Zeigra might act like a civilized human being!

\"Well, tough luck, you stupid cat, because I’ve already prepared a backup plan!\"

Even if Zeigra’s spirituality acted docility in his mind and cooperated with his arrangements, Ves still worried about the possibility of betrayal.

He drew his concentration from his mind and returned his attention to reality.

Ignoring all the projections blaring out for attention, he drew to the side and picked up a familiar box placed to his side. He opened it up, revealing the P-stone stored inside, which he picked up with both his hands.

\"The party stops now.\"

First, he tugged out all of the excess spiritual energy he stored within his P-stone and returned it to his mind. This way, he replenished what he spent and strengthened his defenses against Zeigra’s ongoing revolt.

Next, he leveraged his considerable mental defenses and forcibly pushed out Zeigra’s spirituality.

If Zeigra’s incorporeal spirituality got booted out of his head, then it would certainly drift its way back into the imaginary realm unless it could anchor its presence in the material realm!

There were only two places where Zeigra’s spirituality could safely reside: his mind or the P-stone!

As Ves resisted Zeigra’s presence in his mind with every fiber of his being, the Crown Cat’s spirituality eventually got pushed into the P-stone, which exerted a strong suction that assisted in the beast’s relocation!
