Hmm... could it be possible that the increased power from swallowing energies plus stealing the crown would somehow feedback to the Holy Mother spirit? I mean, they're connected on a spiritual level... this would also give Joshua an unexpected powerup once the Incarnation suit is operational
I don't think that's how it works, she's only connected to the holy mother through a spiritual fragment that has already been absorbed/assimilated during the creation process. Holy mother is more like that of a child to Ves's mom than a secondary vessel for her form. Thus they're separate but related entities.
why ves is so dense? He has the statue of rationality he can fabricate several copies and send them to each non larkinson ships with an operative that they would need to use them to get answered only one question "do you want above anything else that the crown must be delivered?" once the question is made the person must answer without emotional connotations, therefore if the person IS a member of the compact always Will answer yes and if they are not they Will say NO. So much for brillant MC
