To be honest, Ves felt as if the Elegant Rage had resorted to cheating by borrowing the power of Gaia.
Major Jankowski barely had to do anything as the thorn vines spawned from the Gaia-empowered seed practically slaughtered the gas cloud by themselves!
While Ves acknowledged that the Elegant Rage was able to sit back and relax because he had done a good job at designing the Sprout Rifle, it did not change the fact that the mech was relying on the power of an external source.
It presented an interesting question to Ves. Could Gaia or any design spirit be considered as a part of the strength of a living mech?
Was their ability to call in long-distance support a violation of the rules, or just a part of the game?
Ves wasn't able to make up his mind.
His sense of honor told him that borrowing the power of a True God was not right, even if the tribulation storm let him get away with it this time.
