The Doom Guard design finally reached its final form as far as Ves was concerned.
As soon as Ves employed spiritual counterbalancing to formulate an unusual new way to impart a glow to his design, the mech ascended into something different than the competition.
Pitting Zeigra and Nyxie together with the mech design as their dueling arena was very different from what he had done before.
In previous mech designs, one design spirit was always the top dog. While Ves had blended multiple influences in a single design before, he mostly just added a small amount of foreign influence in order to change the flavor of the glow.
This time was different. By weakening Nyxie to the point where his crippled, purified spiritual fragment could only go even with Zeigra, a lot of tension took place as the two jostled for dominance!
The balance they achieved was deceptively stable. While neither of the two grew weaker, they weren't able to make much progress either.
