Bab 61: Ch-61 < Chimera >
The day had finally arrived. The laboratory bustled with activity as various Honkai crystals were piled high on tables and equipment. Mobius, Mei, Elysia, and all the scientists were present, their eyes glued to Kevin, who stood at the center of the testing chamber.
"I've collected all the Viprolopa essence," Mobius stated confidently, her expression neutral, yet there was an underlying tension in her voice.
Mei, however, couldn't hide her concern. "Are you sure you can handle it? These Honkai beasts' essences killed many test subjects before…"
Mobius nodded but remained cautious. "There wasn't a single survivor when Maheshvera's essence was used in prior trials". Even she is slightly worried.
Kevin chuckled softly. "Don't worry. If you're afraid, give it one at a time to me and monitor the results closely. Stop if you see any abnormalities."
Mobius and Mei exchanged glances before nodding in agreement.
"Alright then," Kevin said with a nod of finality. He entered the testing chamber, his calm demeanor setting everyone at ease. He walked over to the large tank in the center of the room, stepping inside as the door sealed shut behind him. Water began to fill the tank, and he took a deep breath, steadying himself for what was to come.
"Starting with the essence of Vishnu," she announced. "Several subjects have mutated from the rapid regeneration caused by Vishnu's power."
Kevin barely had time to process her words before he felt a reaction in his body. He focused, utilizing his Authority of Fusion and Death to absorb the essence completely. His body responded efficiently, with no sign of adverse effects.
The room remained quiet, tension thick in the air.
"Nothing's changed…" Mobius murmured, then smiled, impressed by the result.
Klein chimed in, her voice carrying a note of awe, "That's a Viprolopa-class beast's essence, and he absorbed it like it was nothing."
Kevin gave Mobius a small gesture, and she prepared the next round of tests.
She injected him with Brahma's essence.
Grayish liquid got injected into his body.
Kevin's body began to react strangely; he could feel his cells gaining a unique life force, one capable of blending seamlessly with anything. His body started absorbing vast amounts of Honkai energy. The machines monitoring him began to show abnormal readings of honkai energy, and the satellite reserve of honkai energy was emptied.
" Ni sama absorbed more energy than a normal Herrscher…" Bronya said.
Gasp sound echoed in lab. Even Mobius seemed astonished, her usually composed demeanor shaken by the readings. The data was off the charts.
Kevin locked eyes with Mobius again and she quickly understood Kevin's silent signal and with a little worried expression prepared the most dangerous essence of all— the Maheshvera's genes.
As the purple essence was injected into Kevin's body by machines into his bone marrow.
Kevin's body tensed as an excruciating pain shot through him. His skin turned bright red, veins bulging as his body fought against the dangerous essence.
Mei and Elysia watched with wide eyes, their faces pale with worry.
"The body's response is slowing," Mobius observed, fear creeping into her voice.
"Kevin!" Elysia cried out, her eyes wide with worry. Mei stood beside her, fists clenched, as they both watched him writhe in pain.
" The readings changed" Fuxi said.
Suddenly, the readings shifted. Kevin's heartbeat surged, and his veins grew larger, pulsing with energy. Despite the pain, which felt as though his organs were burning, Kevin maintained control, using his Authority of Blood to ease the pain while assimilating Maheshvera's genes.
His upper layer of skin peeled away, revealing a fresh, stronger layer beneath. His appearance had improved even more, and a notification appeared in his mind:
---
**Congratulations, host, for successfully completing Chimera surgery.**
*Rewards:*
- *100,000 System Points*
- *Gluttony evolved*
- *10% Kevin Template*
- *Crystal Manipulation*
Kevin felt the powers of Brahma merge into his Authority of Fusion, while Maheshvera's essence fused into his Authority of Destruction.
Kevin stepped out of the capsule, his transformation complete. He summoned the Honkai beasts stored within his subspace and piled them in front of him and surveyed the pile of Honkai beast corpses that Mobius had gathered. As for emperor or above only their pieces are there.
"What is he going to do with those?" Fuxi whispered to Klein, but Klein shook her head. "Just watch."
Kevin reached out, placing his hand on one of the corpses. To everyone's surprise, it disintegrated into dust as Kevin absorbed all of its energy.
Kevin murmured. "I can absorb energy and abilities by touching a dead target... or by consuming them with mouth."
Without hesitation, Kevin continued to absorb the energy from all the corpses in his subspace, their forms turning to ash. Once finished, he began munching on the Honkai crystals themselves.
"Has he finally lost it?" Mobius asked, shaking her head in disbelief.
Her comment earned her two quick slaps on the head from Mei and Elysia.
"Don't be ridiculous," Mei said.
"See? He's fine." Elysia said.
After finishing the crystals, Kevin stood tall, a satisfied grin on his face. " I'm alright. In fact, I'm stronger than ever." he said as he noticed their worries.
Elysia stepped closer, eyeing him with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Are you sure you're alright?"
Kevin nodded, his voice calm yet confident. "I've never felt more alive."
With that, the group finally breathed a collective sigh of relief, assured that Kevin had survived the procedure and come out stronger than ever.

Collecting various test , samples and data on Kevin took a full one day.
Meanwhile, Vill-V, with the assistance of AI Bronya, had been hard at work in the lab, developing new battle suits for soldiers which got honkai crystals as their source.
"The Tank Suit has extraordinary durability," Bronya explained to the gathered team. "It possesses force fields and even minor regenerative abilities."
"Then we have the Agility Suit," Vill-V continued, her voice excited. "This one grants the ability to fly and increases speed exponentially."
Vill-V then displayed the final suit, which was a combination of both the Tank and Agility suits, though with slightly less intensity.
Kalpas volunteered to test them. As they fitted him with the Tank Suit, they noticed his striking power increased by 17 times, while his speed jumped by thirteenfold when equipped with the Agility Suit.
"These suits will change the battlefield," Vill-V said confidently, watching the test results come in.
As the team busied themselves with further tests, Kevin excused himself to rest, his body still in the process of evolving from the recent Chimera surgery.
