Ch-23 < Result >*

Two months had passed since the inception of the Divine Keys project. The atmosphere in Mobius's lab was a blend of tension and excitement as the team made significant strides in their research.

Mei was able to create A metallic composite of nano-robots designed for insulating Honkai energy called Soulium.

Kevin had been tirelessly working on developing the Divine Keys, while Elysia played a crucial role in rooting out spies from rival factions. She had even gone as far as blackmailing wealthy businessmen to secure funding for their research, a move that left Kevin both impressed and concerned.

One day, as Kevin was reviewing the latest data, Elysia entered the lab, a satisfied smile on her face. "We've secured another round of funding," she announced. "The businessmen were quite... persuaded by our terms."

Kevin looked up, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You really have a knack for negotiations, Elysia. Whatever you said, it clearly worked."

Elysia smirked, leaning against a table. "Let's just say they were very interested in supporting the winning side. With your reputation, it wasn't hard to convince them."

Mei, who was overseeing the integration of new nanotechnology, joined the conversation. "Speaking of winning, we've made significant progress on the nanotech front. We've developed an advanced AI software capable of handling complex calculations at unprecedented speeds. It's powered by several quantum computers, but Kevin, your suggestion to use Honkai energy for the chipset is... ambitious."

Kevin nodded, his eyes lighting up with enthusiasm. "Using Honkai energy could exponentially increase the computational power of the AI. But Mei, you mentioned the material for the chipset would be the same as that required for the Divine Keys?"

Mei sighed, rubbing her temples. "Yes, the material we need is rare and difficult to synthesize. The Honkai essence extracted from Honkai beasts is challenging to mass-produce, as it can both harness and withstand Honkai energy without degrading. We have enough for both projects, but we must be cautious."

"We've also utilized metals that mutated due to exposure to Honkai energy. By combining tungsten, gold, and platinum and exposing them to significant amounts of Honkai energy, we've created an upgraded material called QUAD." Klein gives her report.

"With Honkai essence and this new metal, I was able to create a metallic composite of nano-robots designed to insulate Honkai energy, called Soulium." Mei said with smug expression.

Mobius, who had been silently observing, finally spoke up. "If we focus on the AI first, it can enhance our calculations and make the Divine Keys more efficient."

Klein, one of the scientists, chimed in. "We're in a catch-22. We need the AI to make the Divine Keys more efficient, but we also need the material for the Divine Keys themselves."

Elysia crossed her arms, deep in thought. "Is there any way we can acquire more of this material? Or perhaps find an alternative?"

Kevin shook his head. "The material is difficult to produce synthetically, but we do have enough for now."

Mobius leaned forward, her eyes gleaming with a mix of curiosity and mischief. "There might be another way. We could explore using a small portion of the material for the AI and see if we can create a feedback loop. The AI, powered by Honkai energy, might be able to find a way to synthesize more of the material."

Mei frowned, considering the idea. "It could work. If the AI can help us accelerate our research, we might find a way to synthesize more of the material or discover new resources."

Kevin clenched his fists, feeling the weight of the decision. "The Divine Keys are crucial, but so is the AI. If we can get it up and running, it could be a game-changer."

Mobius nodded, her usual smirk replaced with a rare expression of seriousness. "Then it's settled. We'll work on developing the advanced AI first. But be prepared for any outcome, good or bad."

As the team dispersed to their tasks, the lab buzzed with a renewed sense of purpose. They knew the risks they were taking, but the potential rewards were too great to ignore. Kevin, Elysia, Mei, Mobius, and the rest of the scientists threw themselves into their work, knowing that the future of humanity might very well depend on the success of the Divine Keys and the new AI system.

One months later

the lab was a whirlwind of activity. The team worked tirelessly, integrating the advanced AI software with the new chipset powered by Honkai energy. They named the AI "Prometheus," and it was nearing completion, with only a couple of days left until it would be fully operational.

During one of their meetings, as they discussed the final steps, Kevin reached over and lightly touched Mei's arm with a teasing grin using craving touch on her.

Mei gasped, her cheeks flushing red as she felt a strange sensation run through her. She shot Kevin a glare, trying to maintain her composure despite the momentary lapse.

"Kevin!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of frustration and embarrassment. "Must you always be so... distracting?"

Kevin chuckled, pulling his hand back. "Just trying to lighten the mood. We all need a little break sometimes."

Mei huffed, her expression softening slightly. "Well, try not to make a habit of it," she muttered, still flustered.

That night, after another long day in the lab,.

< >

The room was filled with the fragrance released by the two, while their clothes were scattered here and there, along with the bedclothes.

Pah! Pah!

And as the moon light began to brighten their room more and more, elysia was riding on top of kevin lil bro , with her back and legs completely sweating.

She moved on top of Kevin' rod as she moaned in pleasure, with a passionate look in her eyes.

"Ahhh~"

And finally, after doing this for a while, the young woman's body vigorously shook as she collapsed onto her partner's chest after a long, pleasant climax.

"Hah~ Hah~"

She took a quick breath, feeling kevin' chest rise and fall as the young man's rod left her body, spilling his seed between her legs.

"Hah~ I love doing this with you, hah..."

Kevin commented to her, with a smile on his face, as he relaxed his muscles and hugged the waist of the beautiful gril who was on top of him.

"Me too... Mmmm~" After that, the two kissed and stood for a moment in that position, admiring each other as they rested before leaving this place

Kevin and Elysia found solace in each other's arms. Lying in bed together, their bodies entwined, they shared a quiet, intimate moment. The soft glow of the moonlight filtered through the window, casting a gentle light over the room.

As they lay there, Kevin couldn't help but think about the progress they had made and the challenges that lay ahead. "Hey, system," he speak in mind, "Is there any way to increase the proficiency of the AI?"

The system responded in his mind, "Yes, host. By using Ether crystals and quantum ore, it is possible to increase the AI's processing speed."

Kevin frowned slightly. "But for that, I'd need to venture into the Quantum Sea, and there's no pathway for coming back," he said, a hint of concern in his voice.

The system continued, "Alternatively, the host can use the authority of integration to combine the AI with the Divine Key, Void Archives, in the future."

Kevin's eyes widened slightly, a mix of intrigue and apprehension. "What?! Combine these two? Are we creating a Herrscher of Truth or something? And what if the upgraded AI turns against us if it acquires an ego?" He screamed in mind.

The system reassured him, "No, host. There is a skill in the system shop called SOUL BOND."

Kevin quickly accessed the system panel, checking the details. "SOUL BOND—a skill that allows the user and another to form a causality bond The other must give their consent. Costs 100,000 system points."

The system elaborated, "Establishing a soul bond with the AI will ensure that it becomes attached to the host. No risk of betrayal. Sinc the AI will be egoless at first. So host doesn't need any consent "

Kevin raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "That sounds like a mental connection, something shared by loved ones," he mused.

The system continued, "The host can also acquire the authority of origin from Elysia by establishing a soul bond with her."

Kevin's mind raced with possibilities. "That solves one of my problems. But... if I acquire Void Authority and use the Soul Bond as a medium, can I teleport to Elysia?"

The system confirmed, "Indeed, it is possible, host."

A mischievous grin spread across Kevin's face. "Well then, I've found a way out of the Quantum Sea..." He chuckled softly, the excitement evident in his voice.

Elysia, lying beside him, glanced up with a curious expression. "Are you thinking something bad?" she asked playfully.

Kevin shook his head, smiling warmly at her. "No, dear. I just discovered an amazing ability I never knew I had."

He then explained the concept of the soul bond to Elysia, detailing how it could allow them to share skills and abilities. Elysia listened intently, her eyes widening in fascination.

"So, that means I could use all your abilities?" she asked, a hint of excitement in her voice.

Kevin nodded, then clarified, "Yes, but not at the same level as me. For example, you could use my time powers, but they won't be as potent as when I use them."

Elysia's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That's incredible! We could do so much together."
