Mystic Devil Transformation

...

Steve planned to take down the woman known as Claire Voyant one day, but since today was a day of celebration for him, it's best to enjoy it. Work on work days, rest on rest days. For Steve, he knew rest days were a rare occurrence anyway.

After putting Kyle down, Steve left to see if he could still snag a dance with Peggy. Unknown to Steve, Kyle stopped his stupor act and straightened his suit.

His suit was still clean, making it unclear whether what just happened to him was real or not. The truth was, however, that Kyle was just being interrogated by someone with a connection to the devil.

Kyle stood up and said to himself, "That was fun... Steve really is the 'Captain America' for breaking out of something like that. Well, the good thing is that I was just in time to get my present."

Closing his eyes, a dark room surrounded Kyle's view. His heart was thumping at a quick pace.

Everything around him was full of different colored Ability Cards, and from it, was what he was looking for.

A brightly shining Blue Ability Card.

...

[Mystical Devil]:

- Essentially gain agelessness, increased strength, increased endurance, flight, invisibility, appearance alteration, regeneration, mystical healing, and the privilege to transport to hell and back. All these skills combine to form a Mystical Devil physique, also known as a higher devil. Unique Blue Ability Card.

"Christmas came early..." Kyle says as he opens his eyes, returning himself to the real world.

All around Kyle was surrounded by music, lights, and people. A very vibrant dancefloor with old and young men drinking and jumping around.

Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Goodbye, the new popular song in the current day was playing. For Kyle, it was a nice tune considering the current times.

The heartbeat of Kyle was steadily increasing, also, he felt sweatier and nauseous a bit.

Although he wasn't feeling very well for some reason, he still knew his mission was successful.

With a smile, his eyes glowed blue, "In the end, everything went according to keikaku..."

...

At the same time, Kyle said this, a familiar tingling sensation spread across his body. From the inside out, it made Kyle feel like he was standing in a sauna. The heat was expanding all across his body while his eyes felt like they were extremely dry.

It was at this moment, Kyle started dashing back inside the hotel to look for a shower away from others, "No, no, no. This can't be happening twice... I knew that feeling before was familiar!"

Arriving at the empty hallway filled with empty rooms, sweat was drenching Kyle's entire face.

...

"I must find a place to complete this genetic transformation on my body," Kyle said to himself and quickly thought of a safe and reliable place.

However, just before entering one of the rooms, everything froze for Kyle, then burst open.

The tingling and hotness erupted for Kyle! His bones were creaking under physical strain!

Instead of a burning dry sauna, it was hotter than a volcano!

Something in his body is breaking, shredding, then forcibly reshaping!

The blue veins appeared free and unevenly, and his muscles became stronger and leaner after the expansion and callback. It continued to burn him more as time passed.

He knew that a physique-type ability card like the Super Soldier Card completely transformed his genes and physique. Kyle was always very tolerant toward pain, especially after going through that metamorphosis before.

This time, it was more of a surging heatwave that assaulted Kyle's senses.

Until it wasn't just a feeling anymore...

Spontaneous fire combustion erupted all over Kyle's skin.

"SHIT!!"

The infernal blaze started small but grew until he seemed unrecognizable.

Kyle jumped to the ground and rolled around to help it stop from spreading more, but it was relentless. On the ground of the empty hallway, Kyle was clawing at the red flame on his chest. His clothes were turned to ash instantly.

Kyle's naked body swell a little bit, then shrivel back a little bit, causing him to claw all over his body. It itched every time his body was swelling.

Only Kyle was burning, everything around him stayed normal, but the longer it kept burning Kyle, the more he screamed. The worst part was that it kept regenerating while getting destroyed.

...

For the first 4 or 5 minutes, Kyle felt what burning alive truly meant...

That was only the appetizer though. A few seconds later, Kyle realized this too.

Then the real pain came through. It was horrible, an intense searing smolders permeated through his muscles. His body was drying rapidly and flaking away. He could feel the skin of his hands flying off to the bone until regenerated even faster. Kyle cried out, "NO MORE!"

In that instant, time stopped. A woman with fair blonde hair appeared above Kyle's burning body, her silk dress, a distinct jet black, offering a parallel.

She had pale skin and red lips which soothed the feeling of burn from Kyle, her pale turquoise eyes transporting him to another world, she put one hand on Kyle, and all the pain went away.

...

The fire was doused, and the pain was fading.

He tried to sit up but was stopped by the woman.

She wrapped her arms around Kyle's waist, and rested her head against his, creating a sweet surprise for Kyle.

She leaned closer, pressing her torso up against his back. Enveloping Kyle with her arms around him. Leaning closer and swept her tongue along the inside of Kyle's lower lip. Finally, moving connecting their lips together, kissing softly and gently without sound.

All the heat felt like it was washed away with her softness. Lightly squeezing their lips together to complete your kiss. It only lasted for a few moments, but it calmed Kyle from the hectic state he was in.

They separated lips, giving Kyle a chance to see the woman's appearance.

"Are you the real one?" Kyle said while widening his eyes at the woman, thinking back to a past version of him he left behind.

The woman responded to him with a slight chuckle, "The one and only."

He was a bit suspicious, but then checked her Cards and knew the difference.

This was not fake.

Trying not to lose focus, Kyle asked her, "Thena... Why did you help me? And why do that thing you did right after?"

"I wanted to apologize somehow for Sprite attacking you. We had a disagreement and now... I won't allow myself to show mercy to her. Although I don't know what you are, allowing you to go through so much pain, it's unfair. You even managed to survive that pain. Please forgive us, this was all I could think of." Thena looked sad and stood up from the hug.

"We are having internal strife as a group, so I will spend my time trying to keep the conflict away from this war. Please consider asking for more requests in the future, as my guilt is endless. One day, I will search for you again, when you are old and have felt peace from battle. I just hope you remember me, until then, stay safe."

Kyle was surprised, his eyes closed as Thena started to walk away.

Secretly, they wished to see each other soon. Both not knowing that they were destined to meet sooner than they realize.

...

A complicated feeling cluttered Kyle's mind, but he took a deep breath.

*Sigh*

Calming down, Kyle opened his palm, revealing the [Mystical Devil]. Now that Kyle was getting used to the changes in his body, next time would probably not be near this level of pain.

The future is bright, but Kyle needs to forge the path to that light.

Grasping the impermeable Card, he felt adrenaline rush through him.

Smiling with this new feeling, he said, "Maybe not everything needs to be always according to keikaku. Still, I can't help but feel ready to use this new power!"

Kyle took the card... and used it!

...

His hair suddenly became longer and had red highlights.

Falling into a state of peace, Kyle touched his chin, and then looked at said seriously: "My appearance can change, but not my gender."

Kyle stretched his fingers and looked down, noticing his hand seemingly disappear, "My appearance can even become invisible, I can also feel something else inside my chest thumping..."

Returning to his regular appearance, Kyle noticed this newfound feeling of vitality and strength. It was less than the Super Soldier, but it wasn't a small amount at all.

- Transformation successful!

Kyle realized that these days were about to get very interesting.

A fight between Eternals? A new transformation? A party with the devil's literal advocate?

It was a good day in general for Kyle, he even smirked and said, "Time to wrap up this party and head home. My next main mission is in about two weeks."
