Ves felt a lot less self-assured by the time the Star Designer and the fleet admiral completed their explanation on the exotic radiation generated by Messier 87.
He initially had great confidence in his ability to make good use of the ambient spiritual energy that was slowly filling up the Red Ocean.
As a largely self-trained spiritual engineer with years of experience, Ves believed that he had a natural advantage in his ability to leverage E energy radiation.
Other mech designers, especially low-ranked ones, could only manipulate it in a more passive and unconscious manner, but Ves possessed the perception of a primordial human and could manipulate spiritual energy at a much finer level.
This was especially when he had access to a companion spirit like Blinky!
Out of all of the ones he made for his various friends and family, none were as suited to take advantage of the productive uses of E energy radiation as Blinky!
