Though Ves had fallen back into his bad habits and became completely fascinated by discovering his wonderful compatibility with the living nanomachine plagues, he did not lose the entirety of his mind.
The threat posed by the five arche phase lords were relatively low as they lacked a strong means of attack. The laser beams emitted by their archeshells were relatively potent, but not entirely unbeatable.
When Ves hijacked the living nanomachine plagues and used them to subsume his makeshift raiment, he effectively gained a suit of armor that looked as if it was darkness come to life!
He could completely pass off as a villain in a children's action drama at this time!
Not only did his true body exude a lot of darkness and malevolence, but he had clad himself in his own suit of morphing dark armor!
