Ves completed his exploration of the new Mech Designer System.
His overall impression was that its name was not that accurate anymore.
While the System still offered plenty of ways to further his ability to design mechs, it gained an entirely new facet that almost completely overshadowed its older uses.
The Divine Bazaar and the Tree of Possibilities were already outrageous enough. Both of them granted him a backdoor to all of the goods and secrets hoarded by the hidden cults that were apparently rife in human space!
All of these scattered cults that may or may not have ties to the Five Scrolls Compact all possessed their unique advantages. Few people ever got in touch with these obscure cults so it was impossible for Ves to learn about them, let alone hunt them down and compel them to cough up their secrets.
