Demons on the Rise

Ves did not believe that the Evolution Witch would prioritize Saint Isobel Kotin's recovery so highly.

It was a lot more probable for the god pilot to spare a small moment of her time on accelerating Isobel's torturous and complicated healing trajectory.

That was enough. If the god-like powers of Divine Lucie Miyazaki could shave several years from Isobel's normal recovery timeline, that was already good enough for Ves and the Larkinson Clan.

Ves hoped that giving the Transhumanist Faction a large favor by handing over Maikel Larkinson without a fuss would encourage the mechers to put more effort into helping Saint Isobel regain her full body.

As Ves resumed his normal design activities and spent a lot of time on developing the Two-Step Execution Crystal for the Instrument of Vengeance, he made sure to keep up with other developments as well, though not as diligently as before.
