Chapter 208

Ai Yue smiled, picked up the suitcase, and walked towards Kevin. "Looks like you're ready too. Let's get started then."

"Wait, are they going to use Herrscher- level Honkai Beast genes this time?"

Kevin sat up, a little nervously. "Wasn't that a bit too reckless?"

It wasn't that he didn't trust Ai Yue, but the other party had only just come into contact with the genes of Herrscher-class Honkai Beast and was about to use them on him, so he was still a little worried.

"What's there to be afraid of? Didn't Dr. Mei say that these Honkai Beast don't have any real power within them? Judging from their genetic information alone, they haven't shown any qualitative improvement compared to the Judgment-class."

While comforting him, Ai Yue inserted all three glass tubes into the instruments next to the operating table, saying, "It's just right for the Brahma Project."

Brahma's Hundred Beasts are bestowed upon this body; Mara descend into the abyss; the sword is drawn to save the world.

This is the phrase used in the original storyline to describe Kevin, the only "Chimera".

This illustrates both the immense power he bears and the immense suffering he endures for it, all in order to fulfill his long-cherished wish of saving the world.

This time, however, he can relax a bit.

There are no beasts, nor will they become Mara.

From this day forward, Kevin will simply be Kevin.

Are you ready?

Seeing that the device had been activated, Ai Yue smiled at Kevin and said, "This process might be a little painful, so you'll have to bear with it, right?"

Kevin closed his eyes, but a smile still lingered on his lips, "I've been prepared for a long time."

Compared to the despair of watching life slip away helplessly, what is the pain on the operating table?

But he soon stopped laughing.

Although I say that, but... but it shouldn't hurt this much!

Kevin felt his body melting.

Yes, it's not the melting of ice and snow, but the melting of steel gradually turning into molten iron under intense high temperatures.

In Kevin's perception, this process was far more than just melting. To put it simply, it was as if his entire being was disintegrating from a tiny unit of measurement. This process even reminded Kevin of an object being hit by a "Molecular Disintegration Gun".

It didn't hurt this much the previous times.

Despite being in so much pain that he couldn't even make a sound, Kevin persevered and didn't fall unconscious.

This wasn't because of Ai Yue's request, but because he felt that if he lost consciousness like this, he would miss something very important.

So even though he felt his brain was boiling and his bones were about to turn to dust, he still insisted on retaining a sliver of consciousness.

Ai Yue naturally noticed this as well. After all, Kevin wasn't really melted; it was just an illusion caused by a drastic change in the genetic information inside his body. In reality, Kevin was still intact on the outside, only trembling incessantly.

But in any case, the surgery went relatively smoothly.

The Honkai Beast genes that were gradually integrated into Kevin's body have, under the constant adjustment of the Brahma genes, gradually become a unified whole, without any distinction between them.

If that's all there is to it, and considering the new abilities Kevin gained from the Aberration Event, he's probably already almost on par with the "Mara" Kevin from the original storyline.

However, this level is clearly no match for the Herrscher of Finality, nor is it the upper limit of Ai Yue's plan.

Under these circumstances, he once again used the genetic information of three Herrscher-class Honkai Beast as a trigger to agitate the Honkai Beast genes within Kevin's body.

This time, Ai Yue will use them as materials to completely transform Kevin's human genes!

However, although it sounds easy, it is actually very difficult to do – the conflict between genes is quite intense. Even with Brahma's genes as a foundation, Ai Yue has to keep a close eye on Kevin's condition to prevent him from dying in such a conflict.

To this end, he even incorporated some of the technologies from the Stigmata Project, in order to make this transformation as gradual as possible and reduce Kevin's stress.

Oh, if we include the "Divine Tone Project" audio as background music, then all three projects are now integrated into one... although it's a bit forced.

Fortunately, after systematic training, Ai Yue's technique was very reliable. After the most difficult guidance phase, the two genes from different species in Kevin's body truly combined closely. The originally tough and powerful Honkai Beast genes were completely "disintegrated" and integrated into the human part, and began to silently strengthen Kevin's body.

Even... it's much more than that.

Ai Yue observed Kevin's condition through the equipment, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips—things were going even more smoothly than he had imagined. This not only proved that his plan was very reliable, but also showed that Kevin himself was equally powerful.

But his expression quickly changed, revealing a hint of surprise amidst his joy and relief.

This process was not only much smoother than Ai Yue had imagined, but its results also seemed to far exceed his expectations.

Compared to Ai Yue's feelings at this moment, Kevin were much simpler—after passing a certain point in time, the pain in his body quickly subsided and then transformed into a kind of comfort that was hard to describe in words.

The feeling was like trekking through the desert for days, and just when your blood was about to evaporate, you suddenly fall into a clear spring. The cool and soothing power flowed into your body through your limbs and bones, relieving the pain in your body and comforting your mental exhaustion.

He even felt that this power brought far more than just that.

After an unknown amount of time, Kevin had fully recovered, finally opened his eyes.

He subconsciously raised his arms, only to find that his limbs were still human and had not changed at all.

It seems I'm not quite at the point where Brahma Project will turn me into a monster.

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this, but then felt that something was amiss.

He sat up from the operating table, only to find that Ai Yue was standing quite a distance away from him.

"What's wrong?"

Kevin instinctively looked at his body. "Did I just do something?"

Judging from Ai Yue's expression, he wondered if he had lost control and attacked recklessly, causing the other party to retreat so far.

"No, you're quite quiet."

Seeing that Kevin had woken up, Ai Yue came over again, "But your body isn't so calm."

As he spoke, he showed Kevin a video.

In the video, Kevin was indeed very calm, but soon, a dazzling light emanated from him.

The light was not merely dazzling; it also carried powerful energy. Wherever the light touched, all the equipment emitted black smoke, clearly indicating severe interference. The closest equipment even showed signs of melting, which looked terrifying.

In other words, the operating table beneath Kevin was specifically prepared for Fused Warrior, which is why he was spared from death.

Ai Yue retreated so far away in order to clear the area around Kevin.

"What... is going on?"

Kevin was dumbfounded after watching the video. "How come I don't remember having this kind of power?"

It wouldn't be difficult for Kevin to do the same thing, but definitely not through this method.

"Let's process the video again,"

Ai Yue then dragged the video back to its previous state, saying, "For example, how about adding a filter?"

After special treatment, the light finally dimmed, allowing people to see what was inside.

That wasn't energy at all; it was Kevin's body expanding.

Chapter 88 Man-made Olympia? Where are there man-made Olympia?!

"What's going on? This is completely different from what I expected!"

Kevin was dumbfounded when he saw himself magnified several times in the video.

Before waiting for Ai Yue to perform the surgery, he had considered many possibilities, including the possibility that the surgery would fail and he would become a monster, but he never thought that such a thing would happen.

All I can say is that Ai Yue always manages to pull off something completely unexpected.

"Aren't you satisfied with this?"

Hearing Kevin's question, Ai Yue couldn't help but look at him. "I didn't expect you to be even more greedy than me, Kevin."

He couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome of the surgery; it completely met his expectations. However, judging from Kevin's tone, he seemed a little dissatisfied.

"No, it's not a matter of satisfaction or dissatisfaction,"

Kevin scratched his head and gradually calmed down. "How should I put it? I just didn't expect it to turn out like this."

At this moment, he finally felt that the power within his body had undergone a tremendous change. The abilities of the Honkai Beast, which were once so complex and numerous that he had not been able to fully understand them, had all disappeared.

What remains is only the purest and most powerful force.

But he couldn't even explain what this power was, because it seemed... to be a part of his own body?

"It's okay, not to mention you, I didn't expect it either."

Ai Yue patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, let's go somewhere else and test your strength."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door.

Judging from the power that the other party unconsciously displayed just now, this place is really too small.

A moment later, the two arrived at the place where Elysia's powers had once been tested, and Kevin began to gradually master the familiar yet unfamiliar power within him, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

"Alright,"

Ai Yue walked to a corner and then gestured to Kevin, "Let's begin the performance."

"Your choice of words is very strange."

Upon hearing Ai Yue's words, Kevin couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression, "It's as if I'm here to perform acrobatics for you."

Although he said that, he still walked to the center of the field, stood still, and then closed his eyes.

Guided by his will, the power hidden within him began to surge and quickly manifested.

A beam of light emanated from Kevin, enveloping him and causing his body to swell.

Kevin was wearing only ordinary hospital gowns, so they were completely incinerated by the energy immediately. However, the light provided some cover, so there wasn't any embarrassing situation.

Moreover, as Kevin became more proficient in mastering this power, he also figured out some ways to avoid such awkward situations.

The light gradually dimmed, but instead of revealing Kevin's body, it transformed into a light blue, armor-like substance that enveloped him.

At the same time, his body stopped expanding and stopped at a height of about fifteen meters.

"Not bad."

Ai Yue floated up and flew to the same level as Kevin's current line of sight, revealing a satisfied expression. "To grow this big on your first voluntary transformation, I can only say that you are truly worthy of being called Kevin."

Kevin didn't speak, but simply savored the novel experience. The ground seemed distant in his field of vision, while the sky appeared almost within reach. He took a step, and in just one step, he stepped out of the training ground, which was not small in size.

The earth trembled beneath his feet, raising clouds of dust that couldn't even cover his knees.

"This power is really exaggerated."

Kevin finally responded, "I haven't even fully unlocked the potential of this power... Is this really a power that can be mastered by humans?"

"So far, there are probably not many people who can master this power."

Ai Yue said with a smile, "But in the future, perhaps everyone can have this power."

Kevin remained silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I have a feeling that it might not be a good thing."

"Let's put the discussion of power and humanity aside for later; these aren't the focus right now."

Ai Yue moved a little further away from Kevin. "Let's do some basic tests to see just how much better you are now than before."

"OK."

Kevin readily agreed, after all, he was also very curious about his current power. "How do we do it?"

"You're like me,"

Ai Yue raised his arms, crossing his forearms in front of him, striking a pose only he understood, "Let's see if we can unleash a beam attack."

Kevin didn't move, but Ai Yue could feel a pair of huge eyes staring at him from beneath the armor on Kevin's face, as if to say, "Are you serious?"

Just kidding.

Ai Yue lowered his hands and sighed, "In short, the test content is as follows..."

The test results were quite pleasing.

Compared to Kevin before the Brahma Project was completed, the current strongest Fused Warrior can unleash power that is ten times stronger than his past self. Whether it is strength, speed, reaction, defense, or even recovery, it has reached an exaggerated level.

According to the test results, even if Kevin were to face those three Herrscher- level Honkai Beast alone and fight them head-on, it would definitely not take him more than ten minutes.

Although the various abilities he once acquired from the Honkai Beast genes (such as the power to control frost from Parvati) have disappeared, what he gained in return was pure and powerful strength, which Kevin considers a very worthwhile trade.

Most importantly—

"This isn't Honkai Energy, right?"

Kevin finally confirmed this, and then asked Ai Yue, "I didn't sense any characteristics like Honkai Energy from it... So, what kind of power is this?"
