Chapter 147 0147: Level 6 Bond

The whole bonding process lasted an entire week with Laura lost in constant and endless bliss.

Under normal circumstances, the process wouldn't have taken any more than a day or two, but Alex took his time thinking of ways to suppress the empathy extending to him and allowing Laura to feel his emotions. This caused him to delay the bond by a lot, causing them to take much longer than necessary.

"Morning…" Laura heard Alex's voice as her eyes fluttered open. She instinctively closed her mouth so as not to end up drinking any water, [Air…] She asked before her eyes were even fully opened. They had gotten into this habit after staying for almost an entire month underwater.

"As you wish…" Her eyes opened wide when she realized she was actually hearing his voice, unlike their usual telepathic method. That was when she felt his lips pressing against hers, "Mhm~" She couldn't stop herself from moaning as she felt her entire body react to his mere kiss.

Laura's body writhed with pleasure when she felt that kiss grow deeper with his tongue entering her mouth and her responding in kind. She was expecting Alex to take things further, but she didn't feel his hands exploring her body, nor his dick entering her.

All she felt was his body on top of her as he kissed her and made her feel an overwhelming amount of pleasure.

Within minutes Laura felt lost in bliss as she tightly hugged him back and humped herself on him while passionately returning her kiss, [Give it to me, Alex…]

She begged, but Alex didn't give her that courtesy. Within moments, she was writhing and begging him fervently, but he just kept making her feel more and more pleasure from that kiss.

It didn't take much longer for her to reach a soft climax from the kiss alone as she loudly moaned into his mouth and convulsed, releasing her juices without him even touching her in her sensitive spots.

"How was this new experience?" Alex asked as Laura finally opened her eyes. She realized that they were currently in a familiar bed. It was one of the beds in a bunker where they had stayed for a while.

"I came from just a kiss…" Disbelief was tinged in Laura's tone.

"I'm bonded with you on an extremely deep level. This makes us that much closer now…" He said and Laura noticed something that initially overwhelmed her.

It was as if she had just discovered a new sense that exploded with information that was transmitted to her brain. As she slowly got used to it, that sense was allowing her to feel unique feelings that she could recognize weren't her own, "I feel something weird, Alex… As if I can faintly feel…emotions?" She said confusedly, "They aren't my emotions, but I still feel them… adoration… possessiveness, I think… something along the lines of love too, it seems…" She thought for a moment and asked him, "Are these your emotions, Alex?"

He gave her a gentle smile and nodded, telling her, "As we create a deeper and more robust bond with each other, our connection will also get much stronger."

After that, he told her the benefits of bonding with her organs.

For one, her stats and abilities had received a monstrous amount of growth.

Her physical attributes had breached the Low Cosmic threshold. At this point, measuring things based on tons seemed a little irrelevant to Alex. Even though the Low Cosmic threshold was equivalent to a thousand tons of lifting ability, Alex knew that that was in no way an actual cosmic grade of strength.

The Low Cosmic Grade was just an indicator that a person was approaching the level of strength to truly affect planets with their power. But that was it. It didn't mean that a person could actually affect the 'cosmos' so to speak.

As for Alex removing the ton-based measurements, this was because he could tell that ten thousand or even a hundred thousand tons weren't going to breach the threshold for a truly Cosmic Physique. It was a much more comprehensive evaluation that he would have to quantify in a different manner which he hadn't yet figured out.

'I could just measure it by how many planets she can destroy with one punch…' Alex thought amusedly. That would be a very impractical system of measurement because the methods of destroying a planet were numerous.

Alex could destroy one right now by going deep into the planet and devouring its core. That would make the entire sphere destabilize and it would collapse, breaking apart. But that's not Cosmic strength. Cosmic strength is punching the surface of a planet and having the entire planet collapse and break apart, 'But even that has many factors to determine things…'

'Whatever,' He shook his head, deciding to think about it later.

Aside from Laura's physical strength reaching Low Cosmic, the ‹Blood Berserker› ability had also been upgraded by a large margin.

Now that Alex had bonded with Laura's organs, which included the adrenal glands that are responsible for the production of adrenaline, he had much greater control over her berserk state. Along with adrenaline, there were multiple other enzymes and hormones that he now had very precise control over. And now, he could directly incorporate those parts of her body into the ‹Blood Berserker› ability to make it much more effective.

‹Blood Berserker›:: When the symbiote forms a Level 4 bond with its host, it can supercharge the blood that's flowing through the veins of the host and increase the physical stats of the host. However, there is a period of weakness after the merger process where the stats are halved from the base stage. Augmentation— 2x at Lvl 4, 3x at Lvl 5. Cooldown: 24 Hrs at Lvl 4, 18 Hrs at Lvl 5.

From the previous ‹Blood Berserker› ability, the new ability was much better.

‹Blood Berserker II›:: When the symbiote forms a Level 6 bond with its host, The previous ‹Blood Berserker› ability can incorporate more than just the blood to increase the physical stats of the host. With precise enzyme manipulation and increased organ durability, the effects of the berserk ability are much more effective and less self-destructive. Augmentation— 6x at Level 6. Cooldown: 12 Hrs.

The best part was that the new ability had completely removed the weakness period. Although there was still a cooldown, Laura wouldn't have all her stats halved during the cooldown period. This was directly the effect of Alex bonding with her organs. He was now able to passively increase the durability of her organs to the correct extent such that her ignited blood could flow perfectly without damaging her organs which was the main cause of the cooldown along with the need to replenish the lost blood.

The replenishment could be done after Alex bonded with her skeleton and bone marrow and now, the organ damage problem was also taken care of, completely removing the period of physical weakness.

'Now if I could bond with her nervous system and brain, the cooldown should also completely disappear…' Alex thought as he realized that the presence of the cooldown was mostly due to the limits of Laura's brain and nerves, which wouldn't be able to endure the burning blood running through her body. He shook his head and dismissed the idea. He already had trouble keeping the empathy at bay with the Level 6 bond. If he deepened it even further, it would end with Laura feeling him completely. And he wasn't comfortable with that. At least not yet.

There were many other smaller and less prominent benefits to bonding with the organs, such as being able to diffuse oxygen into Laura's body in a much more efficient manner than just direct infusion in her blood. He could also make the work and tasks of her other organs more efficient and less energy-consuming. This would allow her to function in essentially the same manner while using 50% of the energy that she would have needed.

Lastly, their Bonding Rate, which had gone up to 45%, left Alex vexed.

After his experience with Scientist Gwen, Alex decided to cap the rate at 50%. No matter how much sex he had with Laura after 50%, the progress wouldn't go beyond it.

He'd already tested it and knew that he had full control over the so-called system that he had. He could easily pause the increase of the Bonding Rate with his will.

'Am I overcompensating? Yes.' He thought to himself, 'Do I care? No. Better to overcompensate than to deal with two women with split personalities.'

He could've decided to cap it at 74%, or even 70%, but he didn't want to risk it.
