The attack of the white-haired man was completely swallowed by the golden barrier and had no effect at all. The extremely desperate scene caused the morale of the human side to plummet, and as the barrier continued to advance, the warriors fled backwards as if they were in disarray.

"..." The white-haired man pressed the communicator in his ear. After hearing the order issued by the human forces, he could only clench his fists and then go to rescue the remaining surviving soldiers and cover their retreat.

Seeing the defeated human army fleeing, and then watching the abandoned humans under the barrier being broken up, absorbed, and replenished by the barrier, the heavy atmosphere almost suppressed Penglai Temple Jiuxiao to the point of suffocation.

“When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature say, ‘Come!’ I looked, and behold, a pale horse. The one who sat on it was called Death, and Hades was following him. They were given power to kill a quarter of the earth with sword, famine, death and wild beasts.”

The sound came from the sky again, and a crack appeared on the ground. A girl with short black hair and red hair on the inside rode a black horse with a sickle on her shoulder. The girl waved the sickle at the three knights before her. Gray light appeared on the three knights, and their power was enhanced. They quickly began to move forward to harvest the lives of the human side.

The girl waved her sickle again, pointing at the places where those dead people had existed. On the blood-stained land, white light balls floated out one after another, and under the guidance of the girl, they gathered in a certain direction.

"What is going on?" Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple immediately followed those floating soul light balls and headed to where they gathered.

……

Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple stopped and finally came to the place where souls gathered, which was a towering building.

"This... isn't this the fire-chasing moth I drew?" Looking up, Jiuxiao saw a silver moth engraved on the gate of the building. He did not mistake the familiar pattern. This was the silver moth that he had drawn inadvertently as the emblem of the Phantom Thieves in a flash of inspiration.

Afterwards, Jiuxiao continued to fly to the top of the building, overlooking the entire building. Then, the scene in front of him once again refreshed Jiuxiao's cognition.

It was a huge altar located in the center of the square. There were countless incomprehensible purple lines under the altar, forming a huge refining array. The soul light ball was thrown into the altar and disappeared.

"That's it!!" Suddenly, Jiuxiao seemed to have discovered something and immediately flew in one direction.

“When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for their testimony. They cried out with a loud voice, ‘Lord, holy and true, how long will it be before you judge and avenge our blood on those who live on the earth?’ Then a white robe was given to each of them… Oh, you are here.”

"Who are you? Why do you look like this?" Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple landed on the altar. In front of her was a woman with the same purple hair.

The mysterious woman's voice was the same voice that resounded throughout the sky. She sat on the throne, looking down at the altar and the nine skies of Penglai Temple. Her red eyes shone with golden light, like the majesty of a god. The blood and tears flowing from her right eye seemed to witness the suffering of all living beings. The crosses on her chest and body gave the woman a divine beauty.

What shocked Jiuxiao the most and even made him vaguely scared was the woman’s face… which was exactly the same as his own.

"Apocalypse - Hikaru." The woman uttered her own name lightly, looking down at Jiuxiao with an ambiguous smile.

Chapter 97 Happy Birthday, Jiuxiao

"Apocalypse... Hikari? No, who are you?!"

Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple only felt that his vision began to blur, his head was buzzing and very painful. He pressed his head with his right hand, shook his head, and spoke with difficulty.

"I am you and you are me... You have obtained a new contract here." The woman named Apocalypse Hikari raised her red right hand that seemed to be melting, and injected a stream of energy into the head of Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple felt as if his head was about to explode. He fell to his knees on the ground. In the last moment before he passed out, he struggled and asked, "What did you... do to me..."

"Go to sleep, I look forward to seeing you again... Also, happy birthday, this is my gift to you." These were the last words that Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple heard when his consciousness fell into darkness.

……

"Ha!!" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao woke up with a gasp, sat up from the bed, sweat dripping from his head, venting Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's nervous and uneasy emotions.

"Ah... It's morning. My body is so hot... My chest feels stuffy. This dream is so weird. Ugh... It hurts... The impression in the dream is so vague, I can't remember what it was at all." After calming down, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at the light shining through the curtains, realized that it was already morning, and began to change clothes.

"Hey... Hey!!!" Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, who was changing clothes in front of the mirror, suddenly found a purple-red mark on his chest that was glowing. The mark was in the shape of an inverted triangle with a cross in the middle.

"This... could this be what Aibo talked about... the holy mark!?" Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple looked at the new mark on his chest excitedly.

"That is to say... as the savior, my power has really been awakened! Let me try!" Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple immediately couldn't wait to try to use his power.

"Imbustion Soul Burning!" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao shouted the name of the move he had thought of long ago, and waved his hand. There were not many images left from the previous dream, but Penglai Temple Jiuxiao had a deep impression of a big sword spewing flames, which had not yet faded, so he began to imagine the scorching flames in his heart.

"?——"

A voice sounded, and purple flames burst out from Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's fingers. For a moment, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was completely stunned by the flames coming out of his fingers. It took him a while to react. The corners of his mouth rose quickly, his eyes narrowed into two arcs, and the smile on his face had already directly revealed Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's mood.

"Wuhu!" Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple held the ball of fire and couldn't wait to run out and share it with his companions. He had already prepared a draft of a declaration of no less than 500 words in his mind.

"Hey, everyone..." Then, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple didn't say anything, but knocked his head like a fool.

"Ah, I forgot... I'm not living at aibo's place now." Looking at the familiar hall in front of him, as well as the loving breakfast and birthday gift box prepared on the table, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao realized that he was not living at Wang Chen's house, but back at his own home.

Since Qianyu Academy was closed, my parents naturally learned the news and immediately asked me to move back home to rest and prepare to go through the transfer procedures.

However, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao said that he had made some very good friends in Qianyu Academy, and he said a lot of things, which convinced his parents not to transfer him to another school right away, but to put it on hold for the time being and see how it goes. In addition, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao pretended that he would go out with his friends to study and make up lessons for the next period of time. So he ensured that he could go out every day to continue looking for Wang Chen and the others.

This was the first time that Penglai Temple Jiuxiao lied. She did not tell her parents about the Honkai beast and the fate of Changkong City. Jiuxiao clearly understood that although her parents could understand her second-year and talent, those things were not something they could accept directly at the first time unless they saw it with their own eyes.

Fortunately, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has truly become a person from "that world" today - she has the power called "Holy Mark". If her parents find out about her lies in the future, she can use her talents to convince her parents.

"Speaking of which, how did this flame go out...ah, it went out." When Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was thinking about how to extinguish the purple flame in his hand, the flame slowly disappeared after this thought came up to Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

"It's really useful. The power of the stigma is really convenient. Oh, right! The gift box on the table." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao came to the table and saw the letter left by her parents on the table:

【To my dear Jiuxiao,

Today is your 15th birthday. We really want to celebrate with you, but Dad and Mom are very busy and can't spare time to accompany you. However, we hope you can have a happy birthday, so we have prepared a little surprise for you.

We know that you like Hom dolls very much, so we specially prepared this gift for you, and we hope you will like it. At the same time, we also bought a cake for you, and we hope that you can invite the new friends mentioned yesterday to play together and enjoy the happiness of your birthday.

Jiuxiao, you are our most beloved baby girl, and we are proud of you. We believe that you will become an excellent person, and we hope that you can strengthen your beliefs, pursue your ideals, and bravely face future challenges in the future.

Finally, I wish you a happy birthday! May your birthday be filled with joy and blessings, and may your future be even brighter!

From Dad and Mom]

"Dad...Mom..." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao put the letter on his chest, closed his eyes, and prayed for his parents in his heart, wishing them peace. Then Jiuxiao first enjoyed the loving breakfast left by his parents, then tidied his clothes, carried the cake out, and then walked towards Wang Chen's home.

……

"Brother-in-law, what are you busy with so early in the morning?" Kiana asked puzzledly.

"Oh, you may not know what day it is today." Wang Chen was seen taking care of the layout of the living room, operating the dormitory module, and starting to rearrange the entire hall. Some banners and balloons were hung on the doors of each room, as if a party was about to be held.

"Today... December 12th, Christmas Eve. Wow, is Christmas coming soon? Brother-in-law, are you planning a Christmas party?"

"Well... that's true, but today is not only Christmas Eve, but it's also the birthday of one of our friends."

"Who?"

"Good morning everyone~ Your savior is back~"

"Look, if you speak of the devil, he will appear."

Wang Chen pointed to Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, who had just opened the door and entered the hall, and said with a smile. It seems that because of his birthday today, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao seems to be in an unexpectedly good mood.

"Hey Jiuxiao, you came so early. The hall hasn't been decorated yet. After all, we are celebrating your birthday today." Wang Chen greeted Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple and said.

"Haha, don't be so polite, aibo. I'll be happier if I join everyone in preparing for my birthday party. By the way, I brought a cake, but I don't know if it's enough for everyone to share." Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple put the cake on the table and responded with a smile.

Chapter 98 Touch Yours

"It's okay, it's okay. Scarlet and I can just make some other desserts for everyone. You should go and have a rest first. You are the protagonist today."

Wang Chen patted Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's shoulder and said with a smile. But just like that, as soon as he patted and touched, the system's voice suddenly rang violently in Wang Chen's brain.

"Ding! System prompt! System prompt! The former secondary parameter character Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has undergone an abnormal change - an abnormal change has occurred! The system is re-evaluating... The evaluation is completed, and the system prompts that the important parameter character Penglai Temple Jiuxiao (Apocalypse) has been contacted, and 200 synchronization points have been obtained. The remaining 5400 synchronization points can be obtained. Please keep in touch!"

“? What’s going on!” Wang Chen was obviously confused by this scene.

"Check the status of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao!"

"Ding——The data of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao is as follows:

Name: Penglai Temple Jiuxiao

Age: 15 (updated)

性别 : 女性

Height: 159 cm

Weight: 47 kg

Measurements: 86/56/88 cm

Honkai adaptability: A-level (continuous growth) (updated)

Honkai resistance: A-level (continuous growth) (updated)

Stigmata: Implosion Soul (One of the Marks of Apocalypse)

Status: None

Power Index: Honkai Energy 100hw (Updated)

Favorability: 2 stars (2700/2730) (approved) (updated)"

"Shit, what's going on? How come Jiuxiao suddenly has the stigmata? System, what is going on?" After seeing the panel, Wang Chen was even more surprised and quickly asked the system.

"I don't know... The system doesn't know why Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple suddenly possessed the holy mark." Sure enough, the system has never disappointed Wang Chen.

"What's the use of your system... Then tell me, what happened to the previous abnormality? Also, what are the criteria for judging secondary parameter characters and important parameter characters?"

"According to the original trajectory of fate, although Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple is somewhat outstanding, she will not be the main character on this world stage after all. It's like an NPC in a game, who is well-known but not a core NPC in the main plot. This is why Jiuxiao is a secondary parameter character. It is also the criterion for judging secondary parameter characters. After all, Jiuxiao didn't even have a stigma before. In a world called collapse, she is undoubtedly an ordinary person without any power to resist."

"As for the important characters, they are the protagonists of this world, not to mention the three great families like Kiana, and the existence of various self-machine characters. They can also be characters that can influence the world. Or they are very outstanding talents, such as the extremely talented combat talents like the Colorless Confetti... Only characters who can influence the fate of the world can be selected as important characters."

"And the current changes are precisely because Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has undergone a huge change. She has changed from an ordinary person to a stigma warrior with stigmata, and because of too much contact with the host, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has deviated from her original destiny. Now Penglai Temple Jiuxiao undoubtedly has the ability to influence the destiny of the world. Therefore, she has changed from a secondary parameter character to an important parameter character."

After listening to the system's explanation, Wang Chen finally understood the changes in Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. Although he didn't know why Penglai Temple Jiuxiao had the holy mark, her original destiny had been deviated because of his existence. Wang Chen didn't know whether this was good or bad.

However, Wang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this big family, he was actually most worried about Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. The others all had stigmata to a certain extent, and had extremely high resistance and adaptability to Honkai energy. They had the potential to become excellent warriors and were difficult to be eroded by Honkai. Only Penglai Temple Jiuxiao had always been in the state of an ordinary person, running around with himself and others.

It is really difficult for an ordinary person to struggle and survive in the future world full of Honkai energy and not be eroded by Honkai energy. Especially now, Wang Chen is not sure whether he can stop the coming of the Great Honkai. At that time, Changkong City will become a land of Honkai. Wang Chen is very worried whether Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, as an ordinary person, can survive.

Fortunately, now that Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple has the holy mark, he has a better chance of survival and can better improve his strength and protect himself.

"Jiuxiao, are you hiding something from everyone? Have you prepared any surprises for everyone?" After thinking about it, Wang Chen looked at Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple who was getting busy helping to decorate the room, and asked with a smile.

"Wow! As expected, nothing can be hidden from Aibo... That's right, Aibo knows everything. When we first met, he already realized that I had not awakened... It's a good thing Aibo can tolerate my willfulness and nonsense."

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao seemed to recall the joke he made when he first met Wang Chen, and couldn't help blushing.

But perhaps it was her perseverance to stick to Wang Chen even at the cost of taking off her clothes that made Wang Chen willing to cultivate her. Eventually, after her constant training and practice, her talent would blossom and bear fruit on her birthday.

"Hmm...what are you talking about? And Jiuxiao, what is the surprise that brother-in-law said you were going to bring us?" Kiana asked confusedly.

"Wait a minute, Kiana, turn around for a moment. I have something that I plan to show only...only to Aibo. No...sorry." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao scratched his head shyly and said embarrassedly.

"Such a mysterious place..." Kiana looked at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao strangely, but still turned around obediently.

"Hehe, aibo, thank you for tolerating my willfulness when we first met... This time, I can proudly show my abilities and symbolism as the savior's best friend."

"Russling, rustling... rustling, rustling..."

"? Just show it to your brother-in-law? Why is Jiuxiao taking off his clothes?" Although her back was facing Jiuxiao and Wang Chen from Penglai Temple, because Kiana had the habit of eavesdropping from time to time at night, her hearing had been well-trained. She could keenly hear that it was the sound of unbuttoning clothes, and she was very familiar with this sound.

"Wow, you guys are playing too big a game. I'm still here! I'm so stupid!" Obviously, Kiana, whose head is full of dirty stuff due to eavesdropping every day, immediately misunderstood what the two people behind were doing.

"Look, Aibo, my stigmata, they are very beautiful, right~" said Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple with a smile.

"Hiss - really... Can I touch it? Ah... I'm sorry, I should have thought it was a joke." Wang Chen looked at the red stigma on his chest curiously, and couldn't help wanting to touch it.

"But...it's okay...it's aibo after all." Jiuxiao was a little shy, but still straightened his slime and motioned Wang Chen to touch the holy mark above his chest.

"??? Are you talking about the real stigmata? Are you touching that?" Kiana's body began to heat up when she heard the words behind her. Damn it, my stinky brother-in-law actually attacked someone of the same age as me! And he played such an exciting game in front of me! Do you really think I'm easy to bully?

Why was he still turning his back to them? Either he turned around to stop them, or he left quietly! What was he doing with his back to them?

Chapter 99: Don’t seduce your brother-in-law!

In the end, Kiana chose to stay... Well, it was not surprising at all. After all, a certain white-haired ball always said that he couldn't go on and couldn't eavesdrop anymore when passing by his brother-in-law's door every night, but he was quickly defeated by the demon in his heart.

Of course, Kiana did not give up. She fought with the Sermo for three hundred rounds each time. Finally, with a cry of covering her mouth, she defeated the Sermo in her heart.

"I don't feel much... not hot either..." Wang Chen touched the shiny red stigmata. How many times has he touched the stigmata? Once on Mei's buttocks, once on Bronya's belly. But the first two touches were a bit weird. As for Kiana, I don't know why I didn't see her stigmata.

"Hmm? Do some people feel very hot?" Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple asked curiously.

"Well, it may be that people's physiques are different. By the way, how do you feel now? I hope my touch will not be too irritating to you, seeing that you are trembling all over." Wang Chen asked.

"No...it's just itchy...it's okay. I'm shivering because...it's a bit cold." Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple said with some trembling.

"Mr. Wang Chen, the ingredients have been prepared, we can start now...what are you doing!?" Raiden Mei just happened to push open the kitchen door and came to the living room, and immediately saw a world-famous painting.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao took off his clothes, and then Wang Chen put his hand on Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's chest. The two were also startled by the appearance of Raiden Mei, and then two pairs of eyes looked at Raiden Mei.

"Wait, Mei, this is a..."
