The creation of a masterwork ch had always been a dream for ch designers.
Countless ch designers chased after the honor of fashioning one. Not only did it prove that the ch designer had an excellent touch for chs, the experience of making the masterwork always resulted in many new insights.
As soon as Gloriana installed the Mother's Love, she quickly left the cockpit and floated above the ch, taking in every transformation with her eyes and implants.
Though the ch hardly changed in the eyes of layn, to ch designers the first copy of the Blessed Squire model couldn't be more different!
There was a huge difference between a regular ch and a masterwork ch. The latter was sothing mundane and ordinary while the latter was exceptional and perfect in a way that normal ans could never achieve!
Gloriana harvested a huge amount of insights, both from witnessing the transformation taking place before their eyes and the spontaneous innovations she developed during her days-long inspiring mood.
This was a sublily fantastic mont for her, and Ves was genuinely happy that she managed to fulfill one her ambitions.
Since her design philosophy revolved around perfection, making a masterwork ch was one of the best ways to achieve his dream! Each masterwork ch she brought into existence put her one step closer towards attaining the ideal she dedicated her entire life to pursue.
The happiness that radiated from her was indescribable. Not even in their admittedly infrequently nightly sessions did she look as happy as she was at this very mont!
In addition, her design seed beca active like crazy, so much so that the spiritual fragnt that Ves deposited in her mind beca affected as well!
Both the masterwork ch and Gloriana seed to resonate with each other. The bond between creator and creation was sacred and holy, and the pervasive glow of the Superior Mother only reinforced this impression!
Ves was lucky to get so scraps at all. His involvent was not that much, but he did contribute sufficiently to the formation of the masterwork ch to absorb so benefits at well. He wasn't feeling that much worse than Gloriana!
As the transformation finished and the euphoria of the mont finally subsided, Gloriana slowly ca off her transcendent high.
A brilliant smile plastered on her face as she floated next to the Blessed Squire ch she created with her own effort and placed her hand on its exterior.
"My precious baby.. you're so lovely.. I love you so much.."
Perhaps drunk on her amazing achievent, Gloriana kept cooing at her masterwork ch as she stroked its chest plating. She soon proceeded to rub her cheek against the Breyer alloy plate.
"Hihihi! You're so perfect. You're so lovely. You're all mine, my precious baby. Mommy brought you into this reality, and mommy will take care of you forever and ever…"
Ves froze and watched with astonishnt as Gloriana's behavior beca more and more unhinged.
She floated up to the head of the Blessed Squire and began to kiss and lick its surface!
Even though the ch was brand new and squeaky clean, that was not hygienic!
Ves wavered a bit. A part of him wanted to fly up and pull her out of her drunk mood. Another part of him wanted her to relish her achievent.
Though her perverted conduct towards her masterwork ch looked disturbing, she wasn't doing anything harmful, so Ves was inclined to let her have her mont. She would probably scream his head off if he interrupted her happy mont with her new 'baby'.
As he tried his best to ignore his girlfriend's senseless cooing and licking, Ves took a step back and began to take in his third masterwork ch.
Its thick shield and serviceable sword looked as if they were part of the sa whole as the ch. The fra of the machine looked both masculine and innocent, which was a very strange contradiction.
Sohow though, the machine made it work. The Blessed Squire already revolved around these concepts, but the masterwork ch seed to embody this duality a lot better than the original design!
Despite its heavy loadout and sturdy armor plating, the ch wasn't all that heavy compared to other knight chs. Its strong legs and its balanced structure allowed it to move steadily on the battlefield.
Overall, the ch's appearance brought him a lot of confidence that it would serve its role as a defensive asset that could provide valuable protection to any squad it was attached to. Other friendlies would always be able to depend on it to provide cover!
However, that wasn't all. Two tentacle-like appendages snaked out of the sides of the torso. These flexible limbs were usually coiled against the fra. Yet these deceptively strong limbs played a key role in facilitating the secondary role of the ch.
Ves already knew that these tentacles could transfer a huge amount of energy in both directions.
The tentacles were able to channel the modest but decent amount of energy reserves stored in the fra of the ch to any friendly ch within reach.
However, their tips could also transform into razor-sharp spikes that could stab straight through the weak points of a hostile or fallen ch in order to harvest a lot of energy at a surprising pace!
The addition of these tentacles should have given the Blessed Squire a more nacing look, but they seed as harmless as wet noodles on the masterwork ch.
All in all, Ves was very happy with how the entire machine turned out. As the first ch that bore the glow of the Superior Mother, he believed it would definitely make an impact on the Hexers!
Yet.. the only problem was that Gloriana had been drooling over her masterwork ch for over fifteen minutes without stopping.
"My beautiful baby boy.. would you like a na? Hmmm.. how about Little Angel. Oh, you like it? Hihihi! Little Angel it is, then! Mommy loves your new na so much!���
While Gloriana persisted in her mad behavior, the sound of heels approached from behind.
"So I take it your attempt was a success." Calabast noted as she stared appreciatively at the Blessed Squire. "I don't look at chs the way you ch designers do, but even I can tell there is sothing special about it. This ch.. even I feel tempted to keep it for myself. There is just sothing about it that makes it look so precious! I've seen the Quint up close multiple tis, but this one is leagues better!"
Though Ves didn't know much about Calabast, he knew that she was not as taken in by chs as other people. It was quite uncharacteristic of her to convey such appreciation.
He frowned and began to gaze back and forth between Gloriana and Calabast. While the creation of a masterwork ch was truly a special mont, the behavior exhibited by both triggered an alarm in his head!
This was not normal!
He suddenly thought back on the gem he decided to insert in the Blessed Squire ch.
[Mother's Love]
The love of a mother towards her offspring resides within this royal gem. Increases the allure of a ch by 100 percent to females.
When Lucky initially handed over this gem, Ves reacted very disdainfully towards its effect. A 100 percent boost sounded great at first, but not every attribute was valuable!
For example, if Ves received a boost promoting 100 percent faster beard growth, would he jump in joy? No! This was a completely irrelevant benefit and he was probably better off without this distraction.
Therefore, Ves always looked down on the gems with seemingly-useless enhancents. The Mother's Love, the Bastet's Whisper and the Whipping Boy all caused him to feel a lot of sha for owning them. Being able to get rid of one of them at this ti lifted a considerable weight off his shoulders.
He overlooked one factor, though.
His opinion differed from other people's opinion!
It was only now that he realized the power of the Mother's Love gem.
Increasing the allure of a ch by a whopping 100 percent may not seem relevant in battle, but outside of it the effect was huge!
Soone like Gloriana who was the main person responsible for crafting the 'Little Angel' already possessed a lot of affection for the ch. This was the first ti she entered into an inspired state of mind, and that would always leave an unforgettable place in her heart!
Suddenly doubling her already strong emotions practically turned her adoration into an outright obsession! Ves genuinely feared whether she would even leave the Little Angel's side!
Fortunately, there was at least one sane woman in this secure workshop. Calabast still looked composed despite the vastly increased appeal of the ch in her eyes.
"So. I think neither of us expected this day to end in this fashion." She said as her eyes kept roaming over the Little Angel as if it was a sweet boy. "Gloriana and you have outdone yourselves."
Ves ruefully smiled. "It's mostly Gloriana. She crafted the Little Angel as if the Superior Mother was literally supporting her from above."
He glanced back at the statue of the Superior Mother. Its presence had been decisive in pushing Gloriana to go beyond her limits!
Of course, Ves didn't actually believe the Superior Mother had blessed his girlfriend. She simply imrsed herself in her superstitions and exceeded her capabilities through her own power.
In his honest opinion, the presence of the statue rely tricked Gloriana's state of mind. It was as if she had swallowed a dicine that actually didn't do anything to her body!
This was called the placebo effect.
Before, Ves always found Gloriana's insistence on sticking to her beliefs annoying. Ves had no respect for hexism and thought that all of it was nonsense that so delusional won had invented in order to justify putting won ahead of n.
Yet now, that sa instance was one of the primary enablers of Gloriana's success. It didn't matter if her beliefs were built upon lies. As long as his girlfriend truly believed from the bottom of her heart that she was blessed by the Superior Mother, she was capable of outputting 120% or even more of her potential!
This caused Ves to feel very mixed about this situation. He was glad that the two of them created another masterwork ch, and so soon after their last one. They probably broke another record for Journeyn at their ages!
Once was a fluke, but twice was a pattern!
The odds of creating a third collaborative masterwork ch had increased as well, though the difference was probably small.
However, at the very least, he found a way to stimulate Gloriana. Instead of fighting her faith, Ves could obtain much better results by feeding into it! Though he was very reluctant to do so, the benefits were too attractive for him to ignore!
So what if Gloriana believed in nonsense? Increasing the odds of making another masterwork ch was very crucial in their early developnt! Ves would gladly tolerate a little more crazy from his girlfriend as long as both of them progressed faster!
Ves looked back at the giant statue once again. His mother's imperious gaze passed straight over his head, as befitting of a Supre.
He did not regret creating the statue. Despite the accidents he encountered along the way, its existence played a pivotal role in the ch workshop!
Perhaps he should make it a habit. Ves already planned to repeat this act again. Even though Ves had not played a major role in this fabrication run, even he experienced the benefits of crafting a ch while under the influence of its design spirit!
Unfortunately, the successful creation of the Little Angel generated so very tough questions.
Calabast did not hold back in voicing one of them. "Let's discuss the ownership of this masterwork ch. This is a very valuable artifact, one that will definitely attract a lot of interest once it becos known."
His face fell. She was right.
