Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

Even the people who implemented this plan have been replaced.

but...

Compared to the [worst] Stigma plan, this plan is indeed what Alicia wants to see, and it will also be a [better] plan.

Kevin would really like to make this plan work if he could.

But as he said, the bearers of the Spark Project can even be said to know nothing about Honkai.

If that man were still alive, that would be a different story.

But he never seemed to regard defeating the Honkai and saving humanity as his ultimate mission, but instead regarded saving one person as the whole of his life.

An enviable guy...

[...It seems...I have lost the last meaning of staying in World Snake. ]

It was not until this moment that Mei realized what kind of selfish motives Kevin had in recruiting her to join World Snake.

[So, your real "purpose" of recruiting a Herrscher to join the World Serpent... I have already accomplished it, right? ]

【Um. 】

Surprisingly, the man responded very softly. Mei was not even sure if that was a real voice.

This is rare, Kevin admitted it directly.

Perhaps for him, there is no need to hide this matter deliberately.

"So... the reason why he was trying so hard to recruit a Herrscher... It really makes me feel complicated. He said he needed such a talent, but in fact..."

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Kiana didn't expect that what Kevin said to her at the beginning was actually selfish.

But this selfishness is so heartbreaking.

He...just wanted to let his former companions know that in later generations, there were Herrschers who chose to stand on the side of humans.

Tell Alicia that her wish has come true...

"Wow, I didn't expect Kevin to~ Well, I'm so happy! What a pity..."

A pink bullet screen floated across the screen...

Alicia was naturally very happy when she thought that Kevin had specially abducted a Herrscher to see her.

Of course, the slightly subtle part is - did he die, or did he die twice?

This is really...

"Well... I'm not happy, but I have to say it's really touching."

"Of course I'm touched~ This is a rare moment of guilt for that little follower."

As Kevin's true intentions were revealed, discussions among the heroes began to spread throughout the live broadcast room.

As a fusion warrior who carries the entire world on his shoulders, there aren't many things Kevin can feel guilty about.

Alicia is one of them, and it is also a point he wants to prove no matter what.

Now, the wish has been fulfilled and the end is approaching.

It's time to... [save] this world.

[Well, that's it... Raiden Mei. ]

Kevin was not angry when Mei was not prepared to help him.

In other words, he was actually looking forward to Mei rejecting him.

Because as mentioned before, the future that Alicia hopes for lies in the shoulders of these Spark Project bearers.

【As the "Lord"...I allow you to leave the World Serpent.】

As Kevin finished speaking, the ending of the paradise on earth came to an end.

At this point, the final plan of the previous civilization is about to be launched.

Kevin will shoulder the burden of [saving the world] as agreed.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

But such a future is definitely not acceptable to everyone.

"There's nothing more to broadcast here. Let's wait for the next version to start, everyone."

With the final ending of the plot of Paradise of the Past, Beichen is also ready to turn off the live broadcast.

Although it looks nice to be connected, in fact the plots of these days are released in different time periods.

And because there is a certain interval between the release of each major segment, the new version is actually not far away when the plot is played to this point.

During this period, there is a chapter of the Stigmata Project that can be played.

But these can be left for later explanation.

"Hmm~ Time flies so fast, bye then~ See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

"Haha~ What interesting things will happen tomorrow? Let's wait and see."

As comments from the audience floated across the live broadcast room, the live broadcast came to a successful conclusion.

After the system's reward prompt sounded, Beichen stood up and stretched, and suddenly remembered that today was the day to train with Kiana and her sister again.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Beichen."

Just as he was thinking about this, the Honkai energy communicator suddenly rang.

Yulandel's figure appeared in the room through projection.

"Well, are you ready to go? Are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes, I just learned about the progress of the World Serpent Stigma Project from a special channel. Time is running out, and we can't delay any longer."

Under Yulandel's urging, Beichen had to change into a simulated combat uniform and rushed to the simulation training room to prepare to start today's special training.

Just as he was about to reach the destination, Kiana's call came in.

"I want to ask you a question, is that convenient?"

"Please say."

"Does Otto have any unique insights into the Stigmata Project? Has he ever revealed this to you?"

Beichen was stunned when he heard Kiana's question.

Otto knew it, but didn't say it. However... I told Kiana what he was thinking so that she could be mentally prepared. It seems there's nothing wrong with that, right?

Chapter 448: Mebius: The fifteenth version! Do you know how I changed the fifteenth version?

However, the Stigmata Project is a rather complex concept.

If you have some understanding of the Human Instrumentality Project, you can basically understand it by saying it is a human juicer.

But Kiana is obviously not among them, so if you want her to understand this concept, at least a certain degree of popular science is needed.

"I have heard Bishop Otto talk about this before. I can explain it to you when we get there. But why are you suddenly curious about this?"

Beichen thought that Archbishop Otto was gone now anyway.

Since they are all dead, it becomes reasonable to blame everything on him.

After all, the dead can't talk, so they're perfect for taking the blame.

"I just suddenly want to figure out...what does the World Serpent want to do with this plan? Is it really as simple as simply transforming humans and forcing them to evolve?"

The communicator showed Kiana's confused expression, and it was obvious that she could not understand the World Snake's plan.

After all, her understanding of the Stigmata Plan was limited to what the Jackal had said during the Sky Meteor event.

But through the plot of Paradise of the Past, she has been able to confirm that Kevin and other pioneers have put a lot of painstaking effort into this plan.

So could this plan really be as simple as the Jackal said?

Beichen gave a very affirmative answer to this question.

"Of course not. I'll tell you in detail when we get there."

"Okay. Remember to come here quickly. I can't wait to compete with you!"

Beichen saw that Kiana looked impatient and suddenly felt a little sore all over.

Accompanying the two sisters in training these days can be said to have made him understand the strength of the Kaslana family.

Even though I am much stronger now than before, I still feel a bit overwhelmed...

"You...you should take it easy. The training a few days ago was so intense that I couldn't even get out of bed."

"Eh? Is that so? Okay, I'll try to be gentle."

"Shouldn't we just forget about the training at this time?"

But as soon as Beichen finished complaining, Kiana hung up the phone.

Obviously, she had no intention of giving up training.

What's more, there is a Spartan instructor like Yulandel here... Let's just hope that the following explanation about the Stigmata Plan will make the two of them calm down for a while.

"So, let's first tell me what you understand? In your eyes, what should the Stigmata Project be like?"

In Hyperion's simple simulated combat training room, Beichen asked the Kaslana sisters who had been waiting for a long time.

"I think... it should be a plan to make all human beings equipped with stigmata eventually adapt to the Honkai." Kiana, who was very interested in this question just now, spoke enthusiastically, "In Sky City, Jackal and the others did this."

It's not surprising that Kiana would give such an answer.

After all, this was the only Stigmata Plan she could see.

It can even be said that most people's understanding of the Stigmata Project, including Mei, only stops at this step.

As for what the real Stigmata Plan is... we have to start with the fifteenth version of the plan...

"That's a reasonable answer, but unfortunately you're wrong. This is just the initial plan."

"what?"

Kiana was startled, obviously surprised by this.

And Yulan Dell seemed to be thinking about something, because even if she couldn't quite understand the concept, she could infer that this plan could not be as simple as it seemed.

Beichen was not surprised by the reaction of the Kaslana sisters.

He is the old captain of Hyperion, so he knows very well that the Stigmata Plan was proposed by Mebius.

But because of Mei's attention, this plan has risen to an unprecedented level.

How to put it more specifically...We have to start with the concepts of human beings and civilization.

"Let me ask you a question. Do you think it is correct to say that humans created civilization?"

"Ah... Isn't this obvious? Why are we suddenly talking about the concept of civilization?"

Kiana looked surprised, obviously unable to understand this concept.

Seeing this, Beichen began to answer by imitating Otto's way of speaking.

"We might as well look at this issue from a different perspective than humans. If we view civilization as a byproduct of human development, then can we conclude that it is not because the collapse is caused by civilization, but rather that the development of human civilization will inevitably lead to the collapse?"

"What do you mean? Humanity will never be able to defeat Honkai?"

Yulandel asked.

"No, that's not what I want to say, but that's what the most powerful brains of the previous civilization represented by the World Serpent think."

The reason why the Stigmata Plan was ultimately called the worst plan is actually very simple—because this plan was based on the assumption that humans could not defeat Honkai.

But facing an invincible enemy, we are faced with the fact that we cannot destroy it.

The choice made by the previous civilization was to modify the definition of human beings.

"Change the definition of...human?"

"Yes. To put it simply, if the Spark Plan is a better plan, then the Stigma Plan is the worst plan. The implementation of this plan is based on the complete withdrawal of the old humans from the stage, and it is the Stigma of transforming the old humans into the new humans."
