I was still pressed up against Morbucks, enjoying my first kiss with the ginger bathed in gold, my Anodite mana slowly becoming more unstable.

Attraction + irritation feedback loop detected…
The list stretched on, stealing my attention.
Morbucks blinked, clearly unaware of the system overlay I had just seen.
Her visor flickered as it struggled to reboot, while her grip on me tightened—not defensively this time, but reflexively.
It was a needy plea for attention, and I answered it with an iron grip.
Her system warnings lit up her screen alongside assistant requests for new suit diagrams, all of which she declined.
She melted back into me, her tongue twitching every time I advanced. A soft sound escaped her as her chest pressed firmly against mine.
Then she pulled back—only for me to guide her in again, as if it were second nature.
The exact opposite of the lead she wanted to take.
Her mind resisted fully submitting. She wanted to take control, to twist around me with the confidence she believed she deserved.
But she couldn't. Every attempt was clumsy.
She bumped my teeth, tilted her head the wrong way, brushed my nose—each mistake making her inexperience more obvious.
It chipped away at her confidence. I could feel it. She was one embarrassment away from pulling away completely.
I broke the kiss and met her eyes.
With the last of my mana, I formed a solid dome of violet energy.
A rip-off of one of Gwen's future signature moves—an enclosed space, sealed off from the sirens. The glow blocked out silhouettes beyond the barrier.
That's when I noticed a secondary battle suit I hadn't seen before.
It was wrapped around Bubbles, sealing her inside a futuristic shell worth millions while it fought Buttercup and Blossom. Both of them looked injured.
Not just from the earlier drone swarm—but now from the suits Morbucks had deployed.
Plural. Five others were active.
Two were evacuating the school. One was replanting the trees I'd uprooted. And one—the most important—had trapped Bubbles.
That armor ran on a different system than Morbucks's and the standard suits. Two hovering disks flanked it, reabsorbing shattered drone-marbles and relaunching them as repaired mines.
Explosions. Barriers. Reconfigured shapes. No raw energy blasts—but terrifying recycling efficiency.
"…Why did you stop?" she asked, breath uneven, eyes half-lidded.
I looked down at her—cracked armor, stubborn glare, the faint fluster she refused to admit.
"Nothing," I said lightly.
Then, quieter—almost amused—
"Just realizing you're a bad kisser."
The words cut deep.
Her expression shifted from relief to stunned offense.
"I'll have to teach you how to do better," I added, forming a band of purple light around her abdomen.
I tried shaping it into a shackle, but my mana was nearly depleted.
My hair faded to a dimmer brown—but I pushed through, Chemical X compensating as my hair flared blond again. The construct stabilized, shifting from violet to gold.
The band yanked her off me—
Four more golden rings snapped around her limbs.
"Hey! What's the meaning of this?!" she struggled. "I thought we were finally making progress—"
I smiled as she was pulled halfway into the wall of the dome, limbs spread, shackles sending ripples of gold light across the barrier.
I felt more of the chemical shifting through my body as my Anodite traits began to recede.
"This is cheap! You tricked me! I demand a do-over—"
I kissed her again, ignoring the notification that appeared:
[WARNING: Temporary Power Boost Expiring]
Remaining Duration: 15 minutes
Output Decline:
120% → 100% → 70%
When I pulled back, I met her eyes.
"I never said there wasn't room for improvement."
Confusion flickered across her face.
The shine on her lips—and her lack of words—fed my confidence.
I dragged my thumb across her mouth.
"But I'm on borrowed time," I murmured, prying her jaw open slightly.
I dug through my pockets and pulled out a phone that shouldn't have worked—cracked screen, melted buttons—but stubbornly functional.
I opened the camera.
Click.
Click.
Click.
She knocked my hand away. "What game are you playing, villain?"

I noticed the drop immediately.
I switched to video, the phone hovering in a sphere of energy.
I pulled her back into another kiss. "Just making sure I remember the moment~"
She resisted.
Her visor screamed for her suits.
"Tell me—do you know what I am?" I asked, one hand brushing the pendant at my chest.
"I don't care anymore!" she snapped. "I'll make you pay for humiliating me!"
"Hahaha," I chuckled. "This wasn't humiliating seconds ago. So what changed?"
My finger traced slow circles.
"Is it because you're stuck in a wall~?"
I sent a pulse of mana through her suit, drawing a sharp reaction.
"No… that's not it," I murmured.
"Maybe it was when I called you bad at kissing?"
She didn't answer—but the blush gave her away.
"I told you there was room to improve."
Her gaze dropped as I continued, toying with the pendant.
"This was probably your first kiss, wasn't it?"
Her breath hitched.
"Then that's nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud—you've taken a step most people our age struggle with."
"R-really?" she panted.
"Really."
The chain rested against my chest as I stepped closer.
"You're one of a kind. That's why I want you to be mine. I want you—your faults, your achievements, your pain, your joys… everything."
Kiss.
A longer one this time.
The dome trembled as something struck it from the outside.
Pant. Pant.
Her heart pounded unevenly.
"I want everything you can offer," I said, easing her out of the wall.
The sphere reshaped into a flat platform of golden light.
"In exchange… I'll grant any of your wishes."
I levitated her, the binds holding firm.
She floated in the center of the room, shackles responding to my will. I guided her arms behind her back and began dismantling her arm cannon—my energy peeling it away piece by piece through telekinesis.
I groaned, my head throbbing.
Using magic was becoming harder and harder.
I was truly nearing my limit.
But I didn't stop.
I dismantled more sections.
The second piece of tech to go was her other gauntleted arm, revealing black gloves traced with gold circuitry. I followed upward along her now tech-ridden arms.
I removed the joints at her collar, upper back, neck, and shoulders, leaving the jetpack intact. Her chest plate fell last.
"I mean any wish," I exhaled, stepping over the discarded plate and fondling her breast through the exposed yellow fabric.
"H-hitch—" she gasped at my touch. "H-hey…"
"Wealth beyond human understanding," I murmured, kissing her neck while molding her breasts.
I felt her heart racing despite her protests. She hitched again as I pressed into her nipple and bit at her nape.
My other hand traced her sides. "The strength to lift continents." I licked the mark I'd left. "Knowledge of eras long past."
My vision blurred with every lust-heavy breath.
I flicked her hardened bud, rolling it along her areola before pinching.
Morbucks let out an intimate squeak. "Stop—this is improper—"
I didn't listen, squeezing harder. "I can even grant you the powers you wish you had—no need to imitate them with such flimsy technology~"
I lowered my left hand further down her waist, where it hooked around her legs. The magic bands restraining her limbs transformed into rope, tightening into firm knots.
I lifted her right leg over my waist, continuing upward. The shackle on her calf turned to rope, looping through a circular hoop in the ceiling as a pole rose behind her.
Every rope anchored her in place—from her left leg, tied with multiple knots, to her back and arms bound behind her. Her gaze dropped to her body, her breasts parted and bound with intricate bondage rope.
With one leg suspended high and me positioned between, I gripped her ankle and pushed all my power through her pants.
SHATTER.
The armor broke apart into separate chunks, hitting the ground freely.
Her dress skirt fluttered back down, revealing the unmistakable view of her damp pussy.
I slid a finger along her bare skin—from her ankle, down her calf, along her thigh, and finally to her black silky panties.
My fingers pressed into the swollen lip, practically begging me to take her sensitive slit—ah—she moan softly as I gentle rubbed against the wet lace panties clinging to her slit proactively.
Morbucks twitched with arousal as I moved higher and pulled her panties upward with me.
"Ah—" she moaned, feeling them dig into her slit. The pain stung with a mild sting of pleasure. I smiled holding the strings with two fingers. "Don't do that—it's digging into my—"
I pulled harder.
"Tell me," I whispered, "what am I to boast so confidently?"
"What are you…?" Princess Morbucks echoed.
!!!
Then it all clicked.
She tore her gaze away from her parted folds and looked up—
to the silver pendant hanging at my neck.
I want everything you can offer. In exchange, I'll grant any of your wishes.
She remembered my words.
Her breath went cold.
"Don't tell me…" she whispered.
"Don't tell me you're actually a genie?"
