Ves was not able to understand how the Elegant Rage worked.
That did not stop him from collecting a lot of data. He set aside many of the aspects of the mutated mech that eluded his understanding and focused on securing more realistic gains.
One of the theories he came up with was that mechs that incorporated aspects of the Emperor Tree's wooden construct technology possessed the ability to regenerate their own battle damage.
Although the Elegant Rage was not a pure wood-based biomech, its extreme transformation had caused it to become a lot more powerful and special than its previous iteration.
Even now, Blinky was able to perceive that the Elegant Rage was quietly growing by absorbing the ambient wood-attributed E energy from the environment.
The wood energies were most present in the patchwork wooden components of the mutated mech.
However, Blinky was also able to perceive that the wood energy ran through the metal components as well.
