For the remainder of the time, Li Lin focused on the delicate operation of removing Kai'Sa's Void skin.
The procedure was going smoothly, and there were no further disturbances from Bel'Veth.
After purifying Kai'Sa's skin armor, approximately one-third of the pure energy was transferred into her body. Li Lin directed the nanobots to reverse the genetic sequence of the armor, slowly severing its connection to Kai'Sa.
Eventually, as the skin armor returned to its original state, the surgery neared its end.
Li Lin transferred control to the AI and instructed it to use the robotic arms to remove Kai'Sa's second skin.
He then went to inform Caitlyn, stepping out of the laboratory.
Kai'Sa was in close contact with her Void armor, which was like her second skin.
In other words, Kai'Sa had been in a constant state of urgency…
Li Lin understood the concept of modesty; even though Caitlyn and Kai'Sa wouldn't be offended, he himself struggled to get past this psychological barrier.
After all, Kai'Sa was not like Zoe, the millennial "legal loli"…
After a little over ten minutes, Caitlyn called Li Lin back inside.
As soon as he re-entered, a petite figure rushed towards him, wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face in his chest.
"Wuwuwu... Thank you... I am so, so grateful, Li Lin!" Kai'Sa, now dressed in normal clothes, sobbed with emotion.
Li Lin's eyes grew warm, a smile spreading across his face as he gently stroked Kai'Sa's purple hair.
Her hair was originally black, but before the genetic modification, she had specifically requested not to alter this feature as a reminder of the threat of the Void.
Therefore, apart from the Void markings on her cheeks and forehead, and her purple-black lips, her eyes and hair color remained unchanged.
"Why are you crying over something that should be joyful?"
When Kai'Sa lifted her slightly reddened eyes, Li Lin reached out to wipe away her tears with a teasing tone.
Standing beside them, Caitlyn smiled in understanding and approached to take Kai'Sa's pale little hand, which had grown unusually pale after being encased in Void armor for so long.
The crisis and anxiety caused by Bel'Veth had eased significantly with the sight before them.
"Yes, we should be celebrating."
"Mm!" Kai'Sa replied with a smile, rubbing the corner of her eye where tears had gathered. "I should share this good news with Seraphine and Orianna!"
"Of course, they've been worried about you for a long time."
Caitlyn gave Kai'Sa a more thorough once-over, her smile widening. "But before that... would you like me to help you get dressed up?"
...
...
Later, Caitlyn took Kai'Sa to her room to help her wash up and re-experience the feeling of being a normal girl.
Li Lin returned to the laboratory to dispose of the second skin and remaining armor samples he had removed from Kai'Sa.
These samples, primarily used to study Kai'Sa's condition, were not particularly useful for his research on the Void and thus had no need to be kept.
After handling the laboratory tasks, he went back to his workshop and input the design for Kai'Sa's "Project Genesis: Angel" armor into the AI database.
With plenty of time before sunset, Caitlyn and Kai'Sa were expected to return only after dark. Li Lin aimed to complete the "Project Genesis: Angel" armor that afternoon and then upgrade the "Project Genesis: Pulsefire" armor he had initially made for Caitlyn but had not utilized nanotechnology on.
The materials stored by the Kiramman family were readily available, and any missing materials could be procured through mechanical workforces, so it wouldn't take much time.
Additionally, given his current skill level and production speed, both sets of armor could be finished within three to four hours.
The armor for Caitlyn was actually a bit more complicated than Kai'Sa's, as it required a sniper rifle. Kai'Sa's weapons were integrated into her armor.
Li Lin had to decide whether Caitlyn's rifle should be a standalone weapon or part of the armor.
After much consideration, he decided to integrate the rifle and armor as a single unit, which would make it more convenient for Caitlyn to carry and use. It would also allow for versatility beyond the somewhat cumbersome sniper rifle.
For everyday cases or dangerous operations requiring swift intervention, Caitlyn could convert the rifle into a pistol or assault rifle.
In critical moments, she could quickly adapt her weapon to surprise any criminals.
Although, with the power of her armor and her enhanced physical abilities, she could manage without these adjustments.
It all depended on Caitlyn's preferences.
Without delay, Li Lin prepared the materials and began the manufacturing process.
Kai'Sa's armor, while visually inspired by the "Bullet Angel" from a parallel universe, functioned almost identically to her original Void armor.
The wrist areas had projection devices capable of emitting energy crystals.
The retractable "cheek pouches" on the shoulders not only allowed for the usual energy missiles and plasma firing but also enhanced mobility with high-pulse thrusters, fulfilling her previous desire to fly.
In fact, if Kai'Sa wished, she could surpass the first cosmic velocity of Runeterra and venture into space.
The weapons were equipped with "Matter Disintegration Cannons," representing the pinnacle of Li Lin's energy weapon technology.
Of course, these were just the essential features Li Lin had prepared for Kai'Sa.
The "Project Genesis: Angel" armor also included features from his "Project Genesis: Infinite Sixth Generation" armor, such as "Hextech Teleportation," "Blink," "Optical Camouflage," "Energy Barrier," "Overload Charging," "All-Weapon Form," and various types of laser weapons.
This set of armor retained its divine quality, and due to its unique design, it awarded 5 skill points and an increase of 1 level.
After finishing Kai'Sa's Project Genesis: Angel armor, Li Lin immediately began working on Caitlyn's Project Genesis: Pulsefire armor.
The technology involved in this armor was not particularly advanced for him, and its functions were nearly identical to those of the Project Genesis: Infinite Sixth Generation armor.
However, adjustments were made to the weapon system since Caitlyn preferred using firearms over the built-in weapons of the armor.
Thus, the design of the energy sniper rifle, which was crucial for her, received particular attention.
This weapon still featured the transformable design into a hover motorcycle, with other aspects similar to the "Iron Blood Laser Sniper Rifle," except that its energy output was converted to "Matter Disintegration" energy.
Given that Caitlyn's armor could already fly, the hover motorcycle served a role similar to the "cheek pouches" on Kai'Sa's armor, enhancing mobility and speed.
Moreover, due to the armor's unique characteristics, Caitlyn's future armor incorporated dual nanofuel cores: one to power the armor itself and another to power the sniper rifle.
Visually, it retained the previous design's streamlined, muscle-fitting aesthetic, primarily in blue and white.
As night fell and the day came to an end, Caitlyn and Kai'Sa, having enjoyed their time in the North District with Seraphine and Orianna, finally returned home.
As they laughed and chatted, they opened the door to the main living room to find Li Lin, who had been waiting and was now seated on the sofa, enjoying tea.
"Li Lin!"
Kai'Sa, in high spirits, immediately ran over to him, eagerly recounting the afternoon's astonishing events with Seraphine and Orianna.
Caitlyn, smiling knowingly, took a seat on the other side of Li Lin, poured herself a cup of still-warm tea from the pot, and drank it in one go.
After Kai'Sa had finished recounting her adventures, Li Lin ruffled her hair affectionately, then took Caitlyn's hand in his, his lips curving into a slight smile.
"I have a surprise for you both."
