Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

The skin is delicate and feels slightly cool to the touch. The slender calves seem a little bony, but they are noticeably soft when touched.

"Well, you really lack exercise, Xilinlin." After pinching Xilin's calf twice, Kiana nodded secretly.

'So it's Sister Kiana...' Mei Raiden on the other side glanced at Kiana's actions just now and thought to herself.

However, from Raiden Mei's perspective, she can clearly see the soles of Sirin's feet.

Even with the observation skills of a Herrscher, Mei Raiden could not see any calluses on Sirin's fair and cute feet. The toes were not very long, giving people a small and tender feeling.

"No wonder Kiana-sister always likes to be kicked by Senior Sirin, that's why." Raiden Mei nodded thoughtfully.

"Strange..." Xilin's toes twitched unnaturally. "It feels weird..."

"Kiana, why did you come back so early today? Did you skip work again?" Xilin looked at the time and found that Kiana seemed to have arrived home almost an hour earlier than usual today, which made Xilin ask in a bit of surprise.

Although Xilin had long known that Kiana used to be a student who wanted to skip classes every day, things were different now.

Kiana almost never skips work when she is at work.

After all, for Kiana, work is not a hobby, but the results that can be obtained from work are what she expects.

"How is that possible?" Kiana raised her eyebrows. "Let me tell you..."

In fact, Kiana had been waiting for Sirin or Raiden Mei to ask her why she came back so early, and now she finally got what she wanted.

"The development of [Anti-Honkai Vaccine V2] has been successful!" Kiana slapped her thigh excitedly. "Originally, we expected that this vaccine could resist 500hw of Honkai energy, but we didn't expect that we could develop a vaccine that could resist more than 1500hw of Honkai energy."

"This means that even if the Herrscher of the End descends, humans will be able to resist the spread of the lethal amount of Honkai energy he brings to a certain extent." Kiana announced happily. "More importantly... the project of the Anti-Honkai Vaccine has been completed! If the next clinical trial can be stable, then the research and development of the Anti-Honkai Drug can also be terminated."

For Kiana, if these two projects are completed, then she can also proceed to the next, and more important, project related to the stigmata.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." Raiden Mei nodded her head in support, but she was more concerned about... Silin, who had just been slapped hard on the thigh by Kiana. 'Oh, it's red, so fast.'

A slap mark quickly appeared on Xilin's thigh.

C.9 Abundance Kiana

"You guy, don't you have legs?" Xilin stepped on Kiana's legs three times, but the force was not offensive at all.

"Ahaha..." Kiana grabbed Sirin's ankle. "Sorry, sorry, my hand slipped."

"Did your hand slip?" Xilin gritted her teeth viciously, wanting to give Kiana a Herrscher Bite.

However, Sirin soon discovered that with both of her feet held and lifted up by Kiana, even if her body could be completely folded in half, it would be impossible for her to reach over her legs and bite Kiana.

"Let go!" Xilin shouted loudly. "Give me a bite and I'll forgive you!"

Sirin showed her sharp fangs. Considering her Herrscher's physique, Sirin's full bite force could probably directly bite through the superalloy.

"How can I let go?" Kiana couldn't let go after hearing that Xilin was going to bite her...

At this moment, Kiana's eyes, which had been half open due to the fight, suddenly caught a glimpse of something.

It was not sexy, it was even a very common black cotton fabric. At the same time, because Xilin's legs were closed and lifted up, the bulge wrapped in the fabric seemed a little obvious.

Kiana almost let go of Sirin's legs as if she was electrocuted, and Sirin, who was struggling just now, couldn't control her center of gravity after Kiana let go of her legs...

A headbutt hit Kiana directly in the face.

"Hiss... Kiana you bastard." Xilin covered her slightly aching head with her hands, her eyes full of "shark intent".

"Ahaha..." The image of that private part flashed through Kiana's mind. She covered her face which was numb from the collision and smiled awkwardly.

"When Kiana-sister is with Sirin-senpai, she really acts like a little kid." Raiden Mei, who was watching the interaction between Kiana and Sirin the whole time, shook her head slightly.

Of course she also saw Sirin's fat, but that didn't matter to Raiden Mei.

After all, this family is full of girls, so what does a little bit of exposure matter?

Compared to Xilin's exposure, Raiden Mei was more concerned about their interaction.

This gave Mei Raiden a feeling...Kiana was like those boys in elementary school who would pull girls' hair and try to get their attention.

As for Sirin... Although she doesn't know if it's right or not, Raiden Mei feels that Sirin's behavior is like she's using "anger" as an excuse to fight with Kiana.

All in all, both are elementary school students.

"You are such a jerk..." Xilin retracted her legs, glared at Kiana, and curled up into a ball again. "But..."

"You just said that the [Anti-Houkai Vaccine V2] was successfully developed, and its effect is so strong that the development of [Anti-Houkai Drug] can be terminated, right?"

"It's like this." Kiana didn't expect that Xilin would suddenly talk to her about work, and she became more serious.

"So this means... you don't have to go to that class anymore?" There was some anticipation in Xilin's eyes.

Even if Kiana was at home, Xilin didn't know what to do with Kiana.

But Kiana was actually quite happy that she could stay at home.

"Well, that's not the case... The next step is the research and development of the [Stigma Factor Activation Potion]." Although she could rest for a while, it was only a short rest, and she still had a lot of things to do.

"Isn't this active agent already prepared?" Xilin asked in confusion.

"That's the V1 version, and the effect is unstable." Kiana shook her head and said, "The V2 version in the project book has more powerful functions."

"In addition to being able to activate the stigma factor, it can also stably replenish the stigma factor in ordinary people's bodies and then activate it again."

Kiana described her thoughts.

Simply put, it is to replenish the stigma factor and then activate it.

Coupled with the effect of [Anti-Honkai Vaccine V2], it is very likely that the achievement of [Universal Stigmata] can be achieved.

And just as Kiana was expressing her thoughts, her smile suddenly froze.

Of course, Kiana’s smile froze not because of the difficulty of this project, but because there was a huge hidden danger in it.

As we all know, the stigma technology of the pre-civilization era has certain flaws.

Men are naturally less adaptable to Honkai energy than women, and the probability of activating stigmata is also very small, so many researchers believe that the group that developed stigmata in the previous civilization era did not have time to produce stigmata suitable for men, and the Herrscher of the End destroyed the previous civilization.

But Kiana learned through her power and her conversation with Dr. Mei that this was not the case.

The reason why the people who initially possessed the stigmata factor were all women was simply because civilization was initially a matriarchal society. Under the influence of the matriarchal society, people who possessed the stigmata factor were able to spread throughout the human race at a faster rate.

The reason why males have a low probability of activation and are inherently less adaptable is because male genes are constantly being lost. Even though the rate of loss is very slow, many genes have indeed been lost over tens of thousands of years of reproduction.

Therefore, the new project book of [Stigma Factor Activation Potion] actually also includes the supplement of Stigma Factor.

Although this idea is indeed very difficult, after all, the [Stigmata] was barely completed even in the previous civilization era when there were so many geniuses, and the current civilization has not reached its end like the previous civilization, so the "potential" of mankind has not been squeezed out like the previous civilization.

But the current civilization has Kiana, an absolute weapon, and [Power of Creation] is the true "authority" in biological transformation.

Even though the technology of the current civilization is not as good as that of the previous civilization, the 'exhaustive method' is one of the most shining crystallizations of civilization!

With Kiana's intervention, the efficiency of the current civilization in conducting experiments will be more than a hundred times that of the previous civilization.

However...Kiana had been thinking about the advantages after [Universal Stigmata], but ignored a problem she had thought about before.

That is... life span.

Whether it is the [Holder] or the [Awakener], the lifespan will be greatly extended, and the [Awakener] can even have a nearly infinite lifespan comparable to that of a [Fusion Warrior].

Not long ago, Kiana was still thinking that 'human beings today have not yet reached the stage where they can master immortality', but the moment she turned around, she was almost about to turn all the people into immortals.

"I have something to do." Kiana suddenly stood up.

"Ah?" Seeing Kiana's face change drastically, Sirin and Raiden Mei looked at each other, wondering what Kiana was thinking.

"I have to go look for Otto, so don't wait for me for lunch." Kiana said, and teleported away from home.

Although Otto is indeed a babar, he is still very useful.

[Stigma Factor Activation Potion] This project must be stopped.

C.10 Otto’s Persuasion

"I didn't expect that you would think of this, Kiana... It was indeed my negligence." Looking at the girl in front of him who only talked to him twice a day and would get punched if she said more than two sentences, Otto was a little surprised by her sudden appearance.

However, when Kiana talked about the [Stigmata] with Otto, Otto, who was originally thinking about something, suddenly became tense.

In fact, according to the research of Destiny and Kiana's description, the relationship between [Stigmata] and [Humans] can actually be called an 'inside and outside' relationship.

What is on the 'surface' is human beings themselves, and what is on the 'inside' is the existence called 'idea', which is the 'life form' used to replace and take over human civilization in the [Stigmata Project].

Their birth itself is based on Honkai, and in terms of nature, they are close to Honkai beasts.

It is also because of this that the Idea has an infinite lifespan.

[Holders of the Stigmata] have mastered the power of the Idea to a certain extent, and their lifespan will be greatly extended... the exact amount is currently unknown.

[Stigma Awakener] is an even more peculiar existence. This kind of existence is a complete combination of "human" and "idea". While possessing powerful strength, it also has a lifespan comparable to that of a [Fusion Warrior]. In short, it has a nearly infinite lifespan.

"With a long life, human will will inevitably change, and cognition and ideas will be alienated under the erosion of time." Otto said after thinking for a moment.

"Although it may sound like bragging, there are very few people who have the same obsession as me."

"Indeed." Kiana nodded and acknowledged what Otto said. Although she did hate Otto, Kiana had to admit that Otto was excellent.

Although in the 'original world', there was indeed a large group of immortal species gathered around Kiana.

But the problem is that everyone is actually in their teens and under 20 years old, and even if they have a long lifespan, they do not have the experience of being an immortal species.

Therefore, Kiana didn't quite understand how the Immortals could maintain their identity over such a long period of time.

"As you said, humans today do not have the willpower to live long." Otto said after thinking. "And...if everyone possessed the stigmata, then humans would have even greater power, but this power would only lead to further conflict."

There are bad people in the world. No matter whether human nature is good or evil, one thing cannot be denied... there are bad people among humans.

Even if 999 out of a thousand people are law-abiding, one bad person is enough to cause a huge change in the situation.

"Yeah." Kiana nodded. The result of this discussion had actually come out.

"Have you had lunch?" The extremely abrupt turn of events made Kiana roll her eyes.

"I haven't eaten, but I don't want to eat here with you either." Kiana waved her hand.

"Come to think of it." Otto certainly had no intention of keeping Kiana for dinner. After all, he was sure that Kiana would not be able to eat if she looked at his face. "Yae Sakura..."

Otto just mentioned the name briefly, and Kiana's eyes shot over like a knife.

"Don't worry, I'm just a little interested." Otto raised his hands to show his surrender. "She didn't appear suddenly, but was sealed, right?"

"Indeed." Kiana nodded.

"...Okay." Otto hesitated for a moment and said nothing more.

In fact, Otto had no interest in Yae Sakura. Even though he knew that she was the so-called 'Hersker that Kallen fell in love with', he still had no interest in her.

"By the way... I think the [Stigma Factor Activation Potion] project should be completed first." Although Otto was just talking to Kiana about other things, he was also considering the pros and cons of this project at the same time.

"Huh?" Kiana was stunned. "Why?"

"Why do you want to kill them all at once?" Otto looked at Kiana, shook his head slightly and continued. "First of all, this potion can be used by the Valkyries. Although the artificial stigmata has been greatly improved due to your efforts, it still has flaws, right?"

"Besides... whether or not to use it and whether or not to have it are two different things." Otto stood up and his tone changed slightly. "Kiana, you have to understand this."

"You can do without many things, but you can't live without them. One day, you will need your own team, and the [Stigma Factor Activation Potion] is one of your trump cards."

Although Otto knew very well that Kiana was not a very smart girl, did it matter?

As the saying goes, a righteous man has many supporters, while an unrighteous man has few. Although Kiana is not very smart, she has a group of capable people around her.

Kiana is different from herself.

'Otto's Destiny', Otto is the brain of Destiny and the decision maker of everything.

The reason why Otto is the decision maker is that he must control everything in destiny. Only in this way can the entire destiny move for his own "selfishness".

In the future, 'Kiana's Destiny', Kiana will be the hub of destiny, the one who brings everything together.

They are different, although Kiana herself may not be aware of this.

But Otto has already seen that... quite a few people have gathered because of Kiana's personal charm.

"Hmm..." Kiana thought about what Otto said.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. In the 'original world', when the [Stigmata Plan] was launched, there were not many people left even in the Destiny Headquarters which had magnetic field protection, so there was a shortage of manpower at that time.

[Stigma Holders] can resist capture by the [Stigma Project] to a certain extent, while [Stigma Awakeners] are completely immune.
