A New Luminar Crystal Theory

Ves left Venerable Isobel Kotin to her own devices.

He possessed full confidence in her ability to quickly master the power of fire.

Out of all of the people in his orbit, there was no one who possessed an affinity for fire as high as hers! The strength and domain that she developed over the course of her piloting career had all been invested into deepening her fundamental closeness and compatibility towards fire.

Ves found this to be a fascinating process. Mech pilots essentially progressed through willpower cultivation by coming up with all kinds of self-fulling properties centered around themselves.

The sheer variety of mech pilots in human civilization led to an enormous diversity of high-ranking mech pilots.

There were pilots who liked to blow stuff up a lot, so the Destroyer of Worlds became really good at producing the most powerful explosions.
