Chapter 96 – Maou Mode Mia - Part 2
Prometheus landed next to the bombed site, watching the crumbled hole below him.
Mia expanded his sense to feel the area. Unlike the Combat Mode, this persona had stronger psych and stronger mental fortitude as he did not have to restrain his abilities. As his performance was at its peak, he could sense everything in the range of one kilometer.
Looking around for a minute, Prometheus jumped down into the collapsed underground hive.
The caves and holes around Mia came in various sizes. A dozen of them was smaller than one meter in height, but many of them were over ten meters high.
Unfortunately, Prometheus was 25m tall, so he could not enter any cave.
Mia muttered in frustration, "Annoying."
Frowning and thinking for a few breaths, Mia flipped a few switches on the ceiling of the cockpit, and the front hatch opened.
*Mew!?* (What are you doing!? It's dangerous if you go out there personally! Looking at those holes. I think some of those fire food is bigger than that hydra!)
"Ah, I know."
Mia did not jump off the hatch or left the mech. Instead, he stripped all of his clothes.
*Mrrr?* (Huh? Why are you stripping?)
No reply came from Mia, but he revealed his answer in the next second. With a thought, he activated his transformation skill, Polymorph, and his appearance turned into Misha.
Because Mia's statue was shorter than Misha, the tight leather suit was in the way of his transformation.
'Pheromone.'
Green gas surrounded Misha, and the fishy smell was carried by the wind, entering the caves.
'More! Pheromone, Pheromone, Pheromone!'
Light green gas became dense dark green smoke. Because Misha kept using her pheromone, the fishy odor entered all underground caves by the wind.
*SCREEEECH!*
Tama finally realized what Misha attempted to do, baiting the surviving fire ants.
*Mew* (Genius! I've never expected that you can even think, Mish!)
"Hmm."
Misha used her Polymorph again, reverting to Mia. He tossed his stripped leather suit aside and shifted the sleeping Shurka's body, placing her back on his laps.
The hatch closed, then the lights and monitors reactivated again.
Concentrating on charging the mech while using his skills, Mia closed his eyes and leaned back. Twenty lightning balls appeared around Prometheus as he was preparing for another fight.
Soon, thousands of red ants in various size exited the cave, crawling toward Prometheus.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Mia's 20 electric Zap Balls created 20 chain lightning, linking surrounding ants with the one hundred thousand voltage lightning, shocking them alive one after another.
'Burn bitches! Flame Field!'
A ring of fire shockwave followed after the chain lightning, giving the fire ants a finishing blow and turning the hive into a sea of flame.
*FWOOooouu*
The light in the cockpit dimmed as Mia overused the psionic engine. He had to recharge it again if he wished to pilot this out of the ant nest.
"Annoying."
Mia sighed as he picked up his leather suit. Instead of wearing it, he pulled a couple of red gels out of a pocket and put them in his mouth.
*Nom-Nom?* (Give me some, please? Please?)
Two more red gels came out of the pocket, and Tama caught them in glee.
*Meh-Heh Mew!* (I don't know what happened to you, but I like you! At least, you're smarter than before.)
Outside of the cockpit, the sea of fire burned through the underground nest. As the ventilation was wide open, the flame continued to spread.
Unfortunately, dirt hole did not contain many flammable substances. The fire slowly died down.
Also, the ants possessed fire attributes, so they could resist the burning damages. Still, the lightning zap injured their inner organs, which was the leading cause of their death.
Several tenacious warrior ants crawled to the mech's feet. Its mouth opened and chomped down on the metal frame.
The biting did nothing but creating scratches on the surface.
Mia could ignore this little nipping if it were only one ant. Unfortunately, several hundreds of them would be a problem.
Over 500 ants survived the psychic skills and crawled their way to Prometheus. They stacked on top of each other, trying to climb the mech to find a weak spot to bite.
"Tama, can you play around with the lightsaber? I'm busy charging the batteries. The mech should have enough power to move its arms, so take the controllers and do whatever you want."
*Mew* (Okie!)
.
Two minutes later, the lightsaber dimmed. This, too, ran out of energy.
*MYA!* (Lame government! You should have fully charged this before sending us to commission!)
During the last two minutes, Tama managed to swat a few hundreds of warrior ants, but it was not enough to kill everything.
"Nah, you've done well. My turn."
As Mia had charged enough power into the engine, he created another electric ball and spread the chain lightning onto the remaining insects.
The chain electricity did not kill everything, but it was enough to cripple all ants.
Mia rechecked the engine. It was not enough for him to use his inventory and other abilities.
He had to recharge it one more time.
"This can be tedious."
*Mrrr* (Dried engine is annoying indeed.)
*Mew?* (Say, are you going to pilot this mech naked?)
*Meh-Heh-Heh* (Or, are you planning to mate this cyka?)
Unlike before, Mia did not rattle or show a sign of shame. He looked at the sleeping girl as he examined her body.
Because Mia had been using skills, Shurka's body revealed burned skins and reddened flesh from the increasing temperature in the cockpit.
Mia picked Shurka's potion and poured a mouthful in his mouth. Then, he kissed her, sticking his long tongue into her mouth as he released the medicine into her throat.
The potion revealed its effect right away as Shurka recovered from all injuries in an instant. Also, because of the medicine's potency, she woke up.
As she opened her eyes, she found that Mia was kissing her, and his tongue was inside her mouth.
Furthermore, the pheromone gas that Misha had released was still lingering in the air. It gave Shurka a stimulating effect, which increased her reproduction desire and attraction to Mia.
Half-asleep, she thought that she was resuming her previous actions, and Mia accepted her. Closing her eyes, Shurka moved her tongue and licked Mia's.
Mia frowned and squinted his eyes, looking at Shurka. The sensation of having his tongue licked was something new, but it did not feel bad either.
'Come to think of it, isn't this what they called [Kissing]?'
Without shame or embarrassment, Mia retaliated, which he licked Shurka's tongue in her mouth. His hands and arms wrapped around her, placing her in his convenient position.
Shurka's body shook again. As her sensitivity was set at 300%, the sense of pleasure was too stimulating for her. She lost the control of her bladder, which warm fluid wet Mia's lap.
Mia stopped his tongue right away and pulled it back. He gazed at the flustered girl with a frowned expression.
'Does this usually happen during the kissing?'
*MYA!* (Disgusting! This cyka wets herself!)
Shurka noticed what she had done. She hid her face with Mia's chest in shame and refused to meet his eyes.
"I'm sorry. I can't hold."
"It doesn't matter. I'll have to go home and take a bath anyway."
"I'm sorry."
At this moment, Shurka noticed something odd. She was touching Mia's skin instead of his leather clothes.
The curious girl observed what in front of her, inspecting Mia's chest. Seeing that his upper body was naked, Shurka instinctively looked down, peaking at Mia's asset.
The pole was still there, pointing upward and touched her thigh.
'@#$&*^@%!'
Shurka's brain short-circuited as her eyes glued at the pointing pole. A second later, she passed out once more.
*Meh* (Disappointing. For a moment there, I thought you would have mated this girl for sure this time.)
"I was planning as well. Too bad, she's out."
Mia smirked. He opened his inventory and pulled out Amro's core.
The core was a ball as soft as a piece of tofu. Mia put it in his mouth and chewed it before he kissed Shurka again, pouring the chewed pieces into her throat.
*MYA!* (WHAT THE BANANA ARE YOU DOING!? THAT'S OUR HYDRA CORE!)
His wide grin became more sinister, "It's fine, Tama. I'm turning her into one of our kind, so I can have a legitimate reason to bring her back to our base."
*MEW MYA MEW!* (THAT'S NOT THE POINT! IT WAS A FREAKING HYDRA CORE!!)
His ear-to-ear grin did not disappear. Mia activated his psionic link with Shurka's mind right away, observing her condition.
Her body spasmed as two consciences were intruding her brain.
As Mia peaked into Shurka's subconscious, he could see a white space cubic room. In the middle of the box, Shurka's soul was sleeping there.
At the edge of the room's corner, black watery slime crept into the room, trying to reach Shurka's mental body.
'As I thought. This phenomenon is the same as what I experienced that day, and the ball I ate at that time is similar to this core. Then, it is going to try and take over the consumer's body.'
Mia switched from observing with the psionic link and used his skill, the Psionic Possession. His conscience entered Shurka's mind, appearing in between the slime Amro and Shurka's mental body.
If Mia had touched her and used his power, he could have taken over this body right away. However, he had another purpose for entering her body with his soul.
[Who are you!?]
The slime Amro yelled at Mia in a panic.
Mia's cackling laughter echoed within the mental space, mocking the inexperienced hydra.
"You don't need to know. You're just food."
[How dare you!? I'll devour your soul and steal this body!]
"Oh, please. A toy shouldn't brag. Let me play with you," Mia's mental body pointed his finger at Amro.
Like how Mia pulled the soul of his former friend, Amro's conscience scattered into water droplets before it could reach him. The slime water reformed into a shape of a solid ball on Mia's palm.
He tightened his grip. Like how Mia crushed apples with a bare hand in real life, the soul shattered again. This time, Mia guided the shattered soul into Shurka's sleeping body, and the fragments became nutrition for her.
Mia temporary took over her body to inspect her character's in-game status and game system.

<<[Yes]/[No]>>
Mia laughed as he picked [Yes] for Shurka.

Mia licked his lips.
'That's interesting. I learned Electrokinesis from the government's core, but Shurka learned pyro. Come to think of it. Everyone learned Electrokinesis. Did the government synthesized or cloned the same core for us at that time?'
'The game didn't recognize me as an overmind when I get into the game, and it mutated me into a lower class dragonewt. Should I say it's an upgrade or a downgrade?'
'Well, I'll investigate this later when I get back to the real world. For now, I have a legitimate reason to take her to the mutant's base. If I can find an eggcat for her, will she convert into a dragonewt like me?'
Finished his business, Mia withdrew his psionic abilities, transferring his conscience back to his real body. Afterward, he picked another red gel into his mouth.
As Mia chewed the red gel in satisfaction, his previous anger subsided, and his mind became clear.
The indifference and serious personality reverted into his old banana self.
The memories about him kissing Shurka came back, and his face reddened in an instant. Looking down, he saw his naked lower body touching the wet panties of Shurka.
"@#%@$%*$^!"
His screaming voice was that of a girl's panicking shriek.
