Ch-48 < Dilemma >***

Kevin's Mauve Eyes scanned the two figures before him.

He had tracked the auras, certain they belonged to the Herrscher of Sentience.

Yet, as he approached them, the corrupted energy vanished as if it had never existed.

The tall woman with sharp, predatory eyes regarded him hungry eyes.

Kevin was no longer interested in them. His focus shifted inward, sensing the remnants of a presence that had left just as quickly as it had arrived.

"Damn it," Kevin muttered under his breath. His fists clenched tightl.

*The Herrscher of Sentience is already here.*

There was no doubt in his mind that she was the one who had invaded the souls of these people, erasing her trace just before he could confront her.

Realizing there was nothing more to be done here, Kevin turned away, leaving the two figures confused.

He made his way back to the facility, his thoughts already drifting to Mei. *There's no point in chasing shadows.*

Later that evening, Kevin returned to the quarters he shared with Mei.

The room was dimly lit, the soft hum of the air conditioning the only sound as he quietly entered.

As the night wore on, Kevin and Mei found solace in each other's arms, their passion igniting and briefly allowing kevin to forget the looming threat.

"Mhm~ Hn~ Nnn~"

Mei's soft, pink tongue lashed out desperately, trying to capture Kevin's dominating tongue, but it was futile as he easily overpowered her, leaving her breathless and wanting more.

"Ahnn~"

Without missing a beat, Kevin trailed his lips down the side of her elegant neck, the warmth of his breath making her shiver in anticipation. His mouth moved lower, his tongue drawing a wet path until he found himself nestled between her heaving, soft bosoms.

*Suck!~*

Kevin captured one of her sensitive pink buds with his lips, teasing it mercilessly with his tongue, occasionally flicking it before sucking hard enough to draw a moan from deep within her. He switched his attention back and forth, ensuring no part of her was left unattended.

With a swift, possessive motion, he grabbed the delicate fabric of her underwear and tore it apart as if it were nothing.

He lifted her slender thigh, positioning himself, and he entered her, filling her completely.

*Paah!~*

"Ahhnnn!~"

Kevin, driven by an almost feral desire, lifted her other thigh with his free hand. He began to thrust into her with a powerful rhythm, each movement drawing an otherworldly cry of ecstasy from her lips.

Her erotic moans only served to inflame Kevin's hunger, driving him to push harder, faster, as he held her body close against his own.

Gazing at her open, gasping mouth, he couldn't resist the urge to claim her lips once more, capturing them in a searing kiss as he continued his relentless thrusts from below.

*Paaah!~*

*Paaah!~*

*Paaah!~*

It wasn't long before he felt the pressure building within him, his climax inevitable as he buried himself deep inside her, holding her tightly as he released in a powerful surge. Despite the fact that one round had lasted a full hour and a half, he showed no signs of stopping.

Before Mei could even gather her thoughts from her first-ever orgasm, Kevin had already pried her legs apart once more, pressing her down against the bed with a ferocity that bordered on madness.

"Ahh! Aaa! Aa!~~"

Mei's sexy mouth opened wide as she shook her head, her body trembling as though begging for mercy. But Kevin silenced her pleas with another deep, demanding kiss. She felt as if her very soul was being pounded into submission, her consciousness barely holding on as each of his powerful thrusts sent her spiraling further away from reality.

By the second round, Mei's body had given out, her mind slipping into unconsciousness. It was only then that Kevin finally stopped, realizing with a twinge of concern that while he was a MANTIS, capable of enduring far more, she was still just a normal human, fragile.

The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room.

Mei slowly stirred from her deep sleep, her body still heavy with exhaustion. As she blinked her eyes open, the memories of the previous night flooded back, causing a slight blush to rise on her cheeks.

She shifted slightly and winced as a dull ache reminded her of Kevin's intense passion.

Looking down, she noticed that her lower lips were still red and tender.

Kevin, who was already awake beside her, noticed her discomfort. Without a word, he gently placed his hand over her, a soft green light emanating from his palm as he used his healing abilities to soothe the soreness.

Kevin nodded, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. "I'm sorry if I was too rough last night."

Mei shook her head, her smile widening. "It's okay. I forgot you are a mantis now." Her voice was gentle, her eyes filled with a mixture of affection and love.

I have to go early today," Mei murmured, her voice tinged with reluctance. "Project Chimera is reaching a critical stage."

Kevin ran his fingers through her hair, his gaze distant. "I know. We both have our roles to play."

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Mei, along with her team of top scientists—including Mobius.

Vill-V is also—worked tirelessly on testing the satellite.

While ai bronya provide support to everyone.

Project Aegis had already been completed with their combined efforts, successfully creating a barrier using Honkai energy that could protect their facility from external disasters.

In the lab, Mei stood at a console, examining the latest data from Project Chimera. Mobius approached her, her expression as unreadable as always.

Mobius remarked, her tone clinical. "With the advancements we've made, his physical and mental capabilities have exceeded even my expectations."

Mei nodded, her eyes not leaving the screen. "We have to push even further. The threats we face are evolving. Kevin needs to be prepared for anything."

AI Bronya's voice echoed through the room, calm and measured. "Project Soldier is also proceeding on schedule. The enhancements will be ready for testing soon."

Mei finally looked up, her expression determined. "Good. Kevin will need every advantage we can give him."

As the scientists continued their work, Kevin spent his days training and honing his skills, preparing himself for the battles that were sure to come.

******

The threat of honkai is also increasing.

The air was thick with tension as the ground beneath the soldiers' feet trembled violently. The creature that had emerged from the earth was nothing short of a nightmare—an enormous beast with a wolf-like head, a serpentine body, and crystalline scales that shimmered menacingly in the dim light.

Captain Himeko had ordered her squad to retreat, but the sheer size and speed of the beast made escape seem impossible.

The beast, Maheshvera, had already taken the lives of many soldiers, and now it had them in its sights.

"Captain, what are we supposed to do? That thing is tearing through everything!" one of the soldiers shouted, panic in his voice.

Himeko's face was grim. "Hold the line as long as you can! We need to give Kevin time to get here!"

The ground beneath them shook again as Maheshvera fired a volley of razor-sharp crystals from its maw, skewering several soldiers where they stood. The screams of the dying filled the air, and the soldiers' morale began to crumble.

But just as despair began to take hold, a figure appeared, descending from the sky with a calm, deadly precision.

It was Kevin, the strongest warrior of MOTH. The soldiers, recognizing him, began to retreat even further, knowing that the battle was now beyond them.

Kevin could hardly believe his eyes when he reached the battlefield. The soldiers were in complete disarray, scattered like leaves in a storm as the beast rampaged through their ranks.

Thats Maheshvera, a Viprolopa class Honkai beast. Kevin thought.

"Everyone fall back!" Himeko ordered. "Let Kevin handle this!"

Kevin landed in front of the massive beast, his silver-gray hair fluttering slightly as he sized up his opponent. The beast growled lowly, its eyes narrowing as it recognized the threat before it.

"Another meal for me," the beast seemed to hiss and Kevin can actually deciper its word from beast actions.

Kevin remained silent, his Mauve Eyes activated as he analyzed the creature.

This beast had to be taken down quickly, or more lives would be lost.

The ground suddenly cracked beneath the beast's feet as it lunged at Kevin, its massive crystal-covered body barreling towards him. Kevin moved swiftly, his body a blur as he sidestepped the charge, his hand gripping the Divine Key, which morphed into a spear.

With a quick thrust, Kevin aimed for the beast's side, but the spear's tip glanced off the crystal scales, sending sparks flying.

The beast howled in rage and swiped at Kevin with its massive claws. Kevin blocked with a Void barrier, but the force of the blow sent him skidding back.

Himeko and the remaining soldiers watched from a distance, their eyes wide with both awe and fear.

"He's not even flinching," one soldier muttered, unable to tear his eyes away from the battle.

The beast, sensing Kevin's strength, unleashed a beam of concentrated energy from its maw, aiming to obliterate him. Kevin responded by forming a series of Void barriers, each absorbing part of the beam until it dissipated.

"Is that all you've got?" Kevin taunted, his voice cold and unwavering.

In response, the beast roared and leaped into the air, diving towards Kevin with terrifying speed.

But Kevin was ready. Blue energy crackled around him increasing his physical power. His hands transformed into clawed gauntlets infused with condensed energy.

As the beast descended, Kevin struck with the Divine Key, slashing through the creature's tough crystal hide. Blood sprayed from the wound as Kevin pressed the attack, his movements a blur of deadly precision.

Maheshvera roared in pain and fury, its crystalline body glowing brighter as it attempted to heal itself. But Kevin was relentless. He lunged onto the beast's back, slamming his fist down with such force that the ground beneath them cracked and splintered.

The beast tried to throw Kevin off, but he held firm, his claws tearing into its back. With one final, powerful punch, Kevin drove his fist into the creature's head, causing it to crash into the ground with a deafening impact.

For a moment, there was silence, broken only by the sound of Kevin's footstep. The beast lay still, its body shattered and broken, its life force fading rapidly.

Himeko approached cautiously, her heart pounding. "Is it…dead?"

Kevin nodded, his gaze still locked on the fallen creature. "It's over."

The soldiers who had survived began to cheer, their fear replaced by relief and admiration for Kevin's strength.

As the soldiers began to celebrate their victory, Kevin received a notification from his system.
