The Mech Touch

Chapter 6880  Marvaine’s Childish Ambition

"So your friend rejected your invitation."

"Yup. Do you think he is stupid?"

"Not necessarily." Gloriana said as she held Marvaine in her lap. "I partially agree with him. It is worth it to fight to preserve our humanity. Survival is important, but so is retaining all of the progress we have to advance our civilization. All of this fighting is causing us to backslide into more savage versions of ourselves. We are looking more and more like the humans of a less enlightened period of our history with every passing day. While I am not stupid enough to hinder efforts to defend our space, I am not blind to the increasing militarization of our entire civilization."

"Hihihi!"

While her mother spoke, Marvaine continued to play with a toy. The colorful ball lit up with different lights and made interesting noises depending on how he manipulated it. Different manipulation patterns generated different responses. There was an entire game centered around making the ball produce rare and highly coveted reactions based on precise timing and deductions.

Ves smiled at his son.

Marvaine was still too young to involve himself in these kinds of debates, but that would change in the future.

The start of the Age of Dawn proved to be a period of strife and war. Ves was afraid that all of the fighting and struggle might force children such as Marvaine to forgo their childhoods and work hard to mature faster than normal.

This was not what Ves wanted to see. His children already exhibited accelerated mental development due to their pseudo-primordial human physiques. He did not want them to lose the joys of growing as kids.

That was why he agreed to live on New Constantinople VIII. The planet and its prosperous cities and society had done wonders to give his children a pleasant and idyllic growth environment.

Sure, their schooling was intensive, but they could keep up with it better than any of their classmates due to their genetic and spiritual advantages.
