Ch-25 < New power >

Kevin purchased the Soul Bond skill from the system, leaving him with 20,000 system points. He then took a deep breath and began to explain the concept to everyone present.

Kevin then tells everyone about the unique Soul connection which his stigma provides.

Soul bond. What it can do. Mei asked.

"The Soul Bond is a unique skill that allows me to establish a deep connection with others. It's not just a bond; it links our souls, allowing us to share our thoughts, feelings, and even abilities to some extent." Kevin explained, his voice steady but filled with emotion.

Elysia smiled warmly, her eyes reflecting understanding and affection. "You're doing this to strengthen our connection," she said as she knows where kevin is emphasising.

Kevin nodded, looking around at his friends and colleagues. "Exactly. We're all in this together. The stronger our bonds, the better we can support each other, especially in the challenging times ahead."

Mobius, ever the scientist, couldn't hide her excitement. "This is incredible ! As long as I get to study that stigma of yours, I'm all in," she licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Elysia laughed, shaking her head. "You never change, Mobius."

Mei, however, stood quietly, processing everything. She crossed her arms and furrowed her brow, her thoughts a whirlwind of emotions. Finally, she spoke, her voice measured. "So, this Soul Bond... it means we'll be more like married". Mei sighed, but a small smile played on her lips.

Kevin met her gaze, sensing the depth of her contemplation. "Yes, Mei. It's a commitment to each other, to our goals, and to our safety. It means trusting each other completely and being there no matter what happens."

Mei managed a small smile, still a bit overwhelmed but willing to trust her friends. "Alright, let's do this. Together."

Kevin felt a surge of relief and gratitude. "Thank you, all of you. I promise to do everything in my power to make you all happy ."

With the decision made, Kevin activated the Soul Bond skill. A soft glow emanated from his stigma, and the room filled with a warm, comforting energy.

The bond began to take shape, linking their souls and solidifying their connection. Kevin could feel the presence of each of his lovers more clearly, their emotions and thoughts subtly intertwining with his own.

As the process completed, the glow faded, leaving the group feeling more connected than ever before. Kevin looked around, feeling a profound sense of unity and purpose.

Elysia felt a soothing warmth wash over her, a gentle smile spreading across her face. "It's incredible. I can sense everyone so clearly. It's like we're all in sync."

Mobius's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "This connection... being able to tap into your skills and Honkai energy will be very beneficial for my research," she added, already considering the scientific implications of their newfound bond.

Mei nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. As she stood there, she felt an overwhelming happiness. She had loved Kevin since high school, and now, with this soul bond, it felt like all the moments they'd shared, all the feelings she'd held inside, had finally led to this beautiful culmination.

Kevin felt a swell of pride and gratitude for his lovers.He glanced at Mobius, feeling a playful urge. "And Mobius, since we're bonded now..."

Without warning, Kevin leaned in and kissed Mobius on the lips. The kiss was first soft on lips and then turn passionate. he bit her lip gently and slipped his tongue into her mouth, Mobius's eyes widened in surprise.

Her heart raced, and she felt a strange mix of scientific curiosity and emotional fluster. She couldn't help but analyze the physiological responses her body was undergoing—her heartbeat accelerating, her face heating up, the tingling sensation from the kiss. Blushing deeply, she could barely form coherent thoughts, let alone words.

Mei's eyes widened at the sight, and she blushed furiously. "Kevin! You even put your tongue in her mouth!" she exclaimed, her voice a mix of shock and embarrassment.

Elysia couldn't help but laugh, the sound bright and melodious. "Oh Mei, you're so adorable when you're flustered!" she teased, wrapping an arm around Mei's shoulders. "You act all composed, but when it comes to love, you're like a blushing schoolgirl."

Mei's blush deepened, and she tried to compose herself. "It's just... surprising, that's all," she mumbled, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Kevin, pulling away from Mobius and looked at her flushed face. "I guess I got a little carried away," he admitted, scratching the back of his head. "But I meant what I said. We're a team, a family. And I love each of you."

Mobius, still blushing, nodded. "That was... unexpected," she managed to say, her voice unusually soft. "But... not unwelcome." She glanced at Kevin, a small smile tugging at her lips.

Kevin and everyone headed to Mobius's lab. As they arrived, Mei and Mobius noticed a subtle improvement in their physique and strength. To their surprise, a strange diamond mark appeared on their right palms. Unlike Kevin's black mark, theirs were white.

Mobius quickly became absorbed in conducting various tests on Kevin, including analyzing his blood samples.

Kevin, meanwhile, took a seat at Mobius's desk and spotted a cup of tea. Without much thought, he picked it up and took a sip.

As Mobius continued her work, she suddenly realized something was missing. She glanced around the lab, then noticed Kevin casually sipping from her cup. Her eyes widened in horror.

"That's my premium bubble tea!" Mobius screamed, rushing over to Kevin.

Kevin looked at the cup, bemused. "Premium bubble tea?" He raised the cup to his lips again, but Mobius quickly grabbed his hand, stopping him.

"You can't just drink that!" Mobius protested, trying to wrest the cup from him.

Kevin holding the cup just out of her reach. "Alright, I'll give it back... but only if you give me a kiss," he asked.

Mobius cheeks turning pink. She glanced around, noticing Mei and Elysia watching with amused expressions. "Fine," she muttered, leaning in and giving Kevin a quick peck on the cheek. Kevin smiled and handed her the cup.

"See? That wasn't so hard," he said while enjoying Mobius's flustered reaction.

Mobius huffed, quickly taking a sip of her tea to hide her embarrassment. "You are insufferable bastard," she muttered.

Mei laughed softly. "You two are quite the pair," she remarked, shaking her head.

Elysia giggled, leaning against the counter. "It's like watching a comedy show," she said, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

Kevin, feeling a sense of camaraderie and warmth. After some talk they decided to create first Divine from core which they obtained from Herrscher of Thunder.

"I'm going to study in my room," he said.

Once in his study room, Kevin sat down and spoke with his system. "System, what abilities did I get from the Herrscher of Reason's core? I think it could be very helpful for creating Divine Keys."

The system responded promptly. "The abilities from the Herrscher of Reason's core include:

* Creation

* Word Understanding

* Matter Manipulation

* Technological Manipulation

* Analysis

* Information Manipulation

* Power Mimicry

Additionally, you have enhanced memory and calculations, along with photographic memory."

Kevin's eyes lit up with excitement. "With these abilities, I can easily create my own weapons and designs. Hehe, this is going to be fun."

In 2 days. Host will receive authority of origin. System has already start analysising it.

That sound wonderful. Kevin was thankful that he got a useful system not a bossy one.

He then addressed the system again. "Do you have any materials for making Divine Keys?"

"Yes, host. The required materials are available in the system, but the prices are extravagant," the system replied.

Kevin checked the prices and was taken aback. "One Ethereal Crystal ore costs 5,000 system points, and the same goes for Quantum Cores? That's steep," he muttered, but he was determined. "Still, it's worth it."

He purchased the necessary materials and dove into learning everything about the weapons and their designs. With his newfound abilities it was child play for him.

Kevin meticulously designed the very best weapon he could imagine. His mind raced with ideas.

he sketched out his designs and planned the construction, Kevin felt a deep sense of purpose. He wasn't just building a weapon; he was creating something that could change the course of their battle against the Honkai.

He remember the power shown by everyone using Divine Key in gameplay.

The hours flew by, but Kevin didn't mind. He was lost in his work, driven by a mix of creativity and determination.

Finally, he stepped back and admired the blueprint he'd created.

It was a masterpiece, a weapon that embodied the best design to empower him with core of Thunder Herrscher.

He designs three forms for his weapon . A spear, great sword, and gun form.

He leaned back in his chair, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "This is just the beginning," he murmured to himself.

After finalizing his detailed blueprint, Kevin eagerly made his way to Mei..
