Mechas are the unrequited romance I have longed for since I was a little boy and watched the first mecha anime. Getting a second chance in this card world, my love for mecha was no longer an unanswered one. I got an opportunity to create a mecha for Pax Whiteburn but never a chance to ride one, but today, I would change that by creating a mecha for myself.
Mechas were quite popular back on the earth. Their popularity led to the birth of different models of Mechas such as humanoid mecha, animal-shaped mecha, transformable mecha, fusion mecha, etc. And today, I was planning on creating three animal-shaped mechas with the three broken runes I borrowed from Anna. I had already decided on which animals I should shape my mechas after before I gave Susan the ingredient list to purchase the card ingredients.
For the Fire elemental rule broken rune, I decided to use it to create a mecha shaped after a majestic Lion.
For the Wind elemental rule broken rune, I planned to create a flight-capable mecha for this one, so I decided on the eagle for the wind broken rune.
For the Earth elemental rule broken rune, I choose tortoises. But I did not plan on making this mecha as slow as an actual one, but it would have a hard shell that the tortoises are known for.
Designing a mecha into animal form was not the problem, but its mobility and control, which lied in the AI running the mecha, the spirits of the broken runes were the problems. The broken rune spirits belong to humans, so they had no idea how an eagle or a tortoise should move. This was the challenge I was facing right now.
With the help of the calamity daughter gem, I can tame the spirits of the broken runes unconditionally. So I thought I would feed the beast will of the Lion, Eagle, and tortoise to their respective elemental broken runes. This way, instead of mimicking their late masters, the broken runes would mimic the beast wills I feed to them.
This was just a theory yet to be tested. Once Susan delivers the card ingredients, I will test this theory out. And the probability of success is very favorable. If not, I will have to develop something like a separate secondary AI for the mobility and control of the mechas. That would be time-consuming and complicate the internal design process of the mecha.
Another complication was the power source for the mecha. I planned to add two power sources to each mecha. One power source would be Soul energy based, and the other power source would be based on rule power. Soul energy based power source was not a problem as Soul energy reactor was readily available in Guild Association mall. But a power generator for a rule power based power source was not available in the Guild Association mall.
The Sky blossom city was a third-rate city, and it was already a miracle that I could get not one but three A-rank soul energy reactors and other rare A-rank card ingredients here.
Not to mention three rule power generators, even a single rule power generator, was not something Susan could buy in this city or any other nearby city.
These new mechas were broken rune based, and without a rule power reactor, I could not complete them. I could make use of the soul energy base, but this way, the whole idea behind the creation of these mechas would be lost. Therefore Susan decided to try her luck at the black market, and fortunately, an old second-hand rule power generator was available.
A single old second-hand rule power generator could not make up for three rule power generators in three separate mechas. Still, I could reverse engineer the old rule power generator to create three new generators using my soul pupils.
I asked Lorenzo and Luna to help me create or even reverse engineer three rule power generators, but they refused because it was not their field of study. I did not ask Anna for help because she was more of a warrior than a scholar, but she still enthusiastically offered to help. I refused as taking over Anna’s offer of support for my current predicament would be like giving a sword in the hands of a monkey.
The next problem for the creation of the mecha card was the artillery and range weapon system. Since I was building the mechas using broken runes, I wanted to use rule power-based weapons. But the rule-based weapons were not available in the sky blossom city market, both black and white, which meant that I had to create the arsenal for the mecha from scratch too.
The reverse engineering of the rule power generator and the creation of all three arsenal systems will be time-consuming, even with the help of three of my slave consciousness. Time was not an issue on Anna’s side as she did not give one, but if I take too much time in the creation of the mechas, by then, Clown mask and Cortney will be moved to a secured location.
Since the moment Luna and Lorenzo knew about the Clown mask and Cortney’s physique, they haven’t left both of them out of sight as if they were their precious. And I wouldn’t blame them cause the future information clown mask had was worth it. But this also meant I did not get any opportunity to sow my calamity daughter gem into the Clown mask.
Currently, Anna and the other two are keeping watch on Clown mask and Cortney. But once the temporary Southern Watch Soldier assigned to protect the silver beach gate dungeon arrives, they will take custody of the mother and daughter pair. This means I will never again get to meet the clown mask to sow the calamity daughter gem into her and get her memory. Therefore, I needed a perfect plan to complete the mecha creation before the temporary military arrived. After considering all the problems, I mapped a plan with all the contingencies I could think of, which would help me save a lot of time in card creation. And these three Mecha cards were how I was going to sow my calamity daughter gem into Cortney’s mother.
