In Lyra’s consciousness, she stared at the new massive, orbiting purple core one much larger than her own! Lyra already knew that core size was related to talent, but she still felt a bit of sadness that her Core was smaller compared to Alice’s...

But she didn’t dwell on it for long because she is Lyra! And Lyra is the perfect embodiment of a true MILF! And a perfect like her don’t need to dwell on such insignificant matters!

’So what if it’s bigger? We can just grind together and everything will work out!’

She hadn’t even expected her Core to receive growth too so it’s really not a bad thing...it’s even more beneficial for her!... at least now she could keep up with the talented ones compared to before! She had never imagined having a one meter radius talent core, let alone a 13 meter radius one!

As for Alice... well, she was far too shocked to say anything. She even removed her blindfold to see if what was in front of her was true.

Alice gasped as she watched her core orbiting a massive orb nearly 120 meters in diameter, with a dark hue 13 meter core orbiting it as well! It’s Lyra’s core as she speculated...well nothing best explanation she can come up!

The sheer size of it made her feel insignificant, like a grain of sand standing and circling a colossal world!

’What in the world is this?! This is insanity!’ Alice screamed in her mind. She had already felt talented with a three meter core, but this? A freaking 120 meter sun floating in her consciousness, not to mention a massive core orbiting it! Though it looked more like a small object compaito the center!

Her core no longer felt like her own... it revolved around the massive, sun like core.

’Is this why Quinn wasn’t affected by those mind controls from above? This core explains everything!’ Alice’s thoughts spiraled endlessly as she observed it all unfold. Just like Lyra, the pressure she felt was immense, but strangely, it didn’t hurt her. Instead, it felt... comfortable.

’I should ask Quinn about this!’ Alice regained her bearings after the energy settled. Her core was orbiting now; although it was big enough to make anyone proud, it looked like a dwarf compared to Quinn’s.

Alice already knew Quinn was special, so she wasn’t entirely surprised, but the scale of it was still a shock like a man caught in a blast who doesn’t know which way is up!

Alice exited her consciousness and opened her eyes, only to see Quinn grinning back at her.

"Hehe... that’s the same look I had when I saw it! I was so shocked... I literally forgot how to speak for a moment!" Lyra teased, watching Alice’s stoic, calm mask crumble. Her cold expression had been entirely gone ever since doing the deed with Quinn!!

"H-how? How is that even possible?!" Alice questioned, confusion painted across her face.

"I’m quite special, you see?" Quinn scratched his cheek, trying to act humble.

"I have that kind of core. I thought it was normal at first, but Lyra screamed when she saw it... well, pretty much the same reaction you’re having now."

Alice could only stare at him, then at Lyra, who was still giggling at the sight of Alice’s cracked composure.

"Hah... I don’t have a better explanation for this, but I just can’t process how things turned out this way..." Alice spoke, massaging her temples. But her mind was wandering elsewhere. She was thinking lewdly!

’Is that also the reason why Quinn is so monstrous down there?! Maybe that’s the reason!’

’Oops... maybe it’s because of my "monstrous" side, too~’ Quinn’s voice rang straight into her head! He already knew exactly what she was thinking.

"W-what?!! Why is your voice in my head?!" Alice screamed.

"Hoho... my stoic, slutty Alice is screaming. Not only that, but you’re thinking such naughty things!" Quinn teased, leaving her mouth agape.

Bombshell after bombshell was repeatedly thrown at her. Alice truly felt insignificant now as these unexplainable things kept popping up. And it was all because of this one man! Lyra was having the time of her life, giggling as she watched the drama unfold.

"Hah... I really need some explanation n—" Before Alice could finish, she slumped forward. She had lost consciousness. The strain of the process and the mental shocks were finally too much for her.

Strangely, Lyra had never lost consciousness; she and Quinn had even started their deed immediately after!

Quinn, with his lightning fast reflexes, caught Alice before she hit the floor.

"She must be exhausted after everything that happened."

"Mmhmm... let’s bring her back to the bed so she can rest," Lyra suggested.

"Lyra, you should rest too. I know growing a core is agonizing... I experienced it during my Tier-up, and it’s a brutal feeling."

"Mhnnn... I’ll rest, but how about you carry us both to the bed? Hehe..."

"Hoh... you’re bold enough to ask. Well, at your service, my Queen."

Without a second thought, he scooped both women up, one in each arm.

"Am I heavy, Quinn?" Lyra asked, poking his chest teasingly.

"Of course not. I could carry you both for eternity, just like our bond." Quinn looked at her, his expression turning serious.

"Cheeky pervert..." Lyra tucked her head into his chest, her face flushing red at his words.

She understood what he meant...Quinn would literally die for them, bleeding out to protect them if he had to. She knew the answer because of their bond, but she still loved hearing him say it out loud.

He laid them down gently on the bed, settling them into comfortable positions. Alice was already deep in sleep, and Lyra drifted off the moment Quinn’s gentle hands began caressing her hair...she was really handful sometimes.

Finally, standing at the bedside Quinn spoke...the most anticipated thing he wanted to know, after the bonding is now within his grasp!

"Status."
