Build a Mecha, for Chloe's Sake!

The more Helena spoke, the more excited she became. Her soot-blackened face had actually flushed red. "The steel plates can be made into armor. Then we'll build an enormous suit of armor and inscribe the ritual runes onto it... It's just a pity that armor this huge would probably still be too much for an individual to handle."

Of course, there were more practical methods, such as adding a power source and building a steam tank.

Castel's Steam Engine had already been improved many times and was quite lightweight. In theory, it could power an armored vehicle. That was also the most sensible option.

But Theus licked his lips and glanced back at the package Ash had been carrying all along. It contained technical documents the envoy delegation had acquired from the Mechanical Cathedral. This was good stuff—things that had not even existed on Blue Star in his previous life.

Could he build a set of mecha?

Once the thought emerged, he could no longer stop thinking about it. He could feel his heart pounding.

This was mecha! What transmigrator could withstand such a temptation?

"Tata... Gaia probably won't be
