risk and innovation are functionally the same thing when talking about new technology and techniques since it's impossible to really tell what the result of a first attempt will be even when the idea is both viable and extremely useful. The earliest working airplane could have crashed and as a result kiboshed the idea of flying machines on it's official reveal. Risk and innovation cannot be separated because innovation requires moving towards the unknown.

The worst part, and the reason the fanatics won't respond to sense is the fact that Ves kept his animosity towards those who attacked him out of the creation of Vulcan and simply included a joy of creation. The entirety of the Holy War is over whether Vulcan is tall or short. This gif is a good interpretation of what those people that were unwillingly dragged into the mess and the bystanders view the entire issue.

Since they are poking fun at how much she eats, the bowls should be about as big as in this gif. For a better idea the bowl presented is the size you would usually see ramen with all the toppings in.

He didn't pull the trigger. He is Daffy Duck.

Removing the mask to reveal the truth and steal the show.

On the subject of her leaving, there is always the possibility of meeting the elites of the people she wants revenge on in the other galaxy during that timeframe and destroying them such that the ones left in this galaxy can only wait for their demise by other forces. This would neutralize any chance of her leaving the Larkinson Clan since she would no longer have anything left to do but have a family to complete the revenge since her people would still live on through her and her descendants while those who tried to end them are entirely gone.

Now that Mr. S has been brought up Ves can probably get Gloriana to agree with having the Chimera project last if Ves claim that the mysterious designer said he was going to grant them knowledge of resonating materials if this project became a masterwork.

Since everyone aside from Ves is sure Mr.S is a God designer. Her and the MTA's response should be something to the tune of this:

yes and no. Remember that while he is flooding the market, these pearls are consumables that since they are used for an ever growing number of beasts for their advancement. Which means that he can't flood the market fast enough to do more than lock the price in place and prevent it from inflating further.

Do some experiments elsewhere first. You have time to figure out how to accomplish that and not hurt the unborn child first before you become unable to alter the child's spiritual makeup significantly enough to make a difference in a direction you want.

Near exclusive rights since the MTA will naturally also have them. But it still means that anyone not the MTA would need to take a detour since his organization will officially have teeth sharp enough to dissuade most opportunists that don't have their own equivalent weapons. We guessed that they existed before and this chapter confirmed that existence.

Which is why you need the resonating materials knowledge from the system which will likely expedite your search since it will likely give you a list of raw materials and alloys together with production methods and their properties which will allow you to find some more common replacements that do the same or better job. After all, being rare does not inherently make it better at fulfilling a purpose, it just means that it's hard to find.

It's also only important if they plan to get jobs outside of the Clan, which given everything that is happening will likely never occur before the Larkinson name is recognized as a power to be respectful towards.

These are things that only time and further progress of the Larkinson Clan can solve.

Yes, but it is a question he could answer by saying that it was some dumb luck since he found a city of the Luminar civilization that was still functional.

This will likely last until the Larkinson Clan starts cranking out Expert pilots like heads of cabbage and Ace pilots start appearing among their ranks. The battle networks and common production lines based on the same design spirits that inhabit the expert mech's will likely expedite the process of advancement to Ace given what has been revealed regarding the process.

It's been made very clear that magic in this setting has both system assisted and manual modes to use with it. Manual mode has been clearly marked as being potentially more powerful than system assisted. Since this is the case, while she may have been weakened tremendously from her peak power level that only means that our favorite smith would not be smote by the category of spells that beat a high ranking dragon within an inch of it's life. She has enough skill to have both prevented his skill from making off with her soul and procedurally tortured him out of existence due to the fact that he was under-leved, under-equiped, and to unskilled to even attempt to defend himself from her at the time they first met and he is probably still all of those things considering what she left as a trap for potential pursuers.

So in short, while you have a reputation of getting into dangerous conflicts you also have a history of getting out of them with minimal damage to your own clan while causing devastating damage to the other party. Which is very desirable in a situation where everyone is on edge and in danger because of sudden outbreaks of violence from both the crown terrorists and those who would take advantage of the chaos to push for things they couldn't acquire or accomplish under normal circumstances.

Long since exceeded the scale of a cult so no we won't call it that.
