Honkai, they all became my stigmata

No, the one who is really offline should be herself.

Well, if I use the mobile phone software that Xier often uses to describe it, I probably seem to be "disconnected", and the message cannot be sent no matter what.

"Even the communication between the stigmata is blocked..."

Hei Xi sighed and had to admit the fact that she couldn't get foreign aid. Then she said in a more solemn tone:

"Xie'er, you must be more careful."

With no hope of seeking help, the two girls had no choice but to start exploring in this unfamiliar theater of domination.

And soon, they saw a figure in front of the empty road.

To be precise, it is a doll that looks like a little girl with short blond hair, a pair of golden horns are installed on its head, and the whole body is composed of black, gold, and white.

"Although I just repeated it not long ago, let's repeat it again. Welcome to the Theater of Domination, dear Miss Seele Fleur."

The puppet turned its head at a strange angle, its body creaked, and its voice seemed to possess some kind of magical power, sharp and disgusting, just hearing it made people feel a little displeased.

"You are... [The Herrscher of Domination]!"

Xier put on a fighting posture, aiming at the opponent with a scythe larger than her own body.

"Ah—ah, you don't have to be so flustered, we don't have much interest in you, in 【Sile Fleur】."

The puppet shrugged and said casually:

"Look, after all, you are not a Herrscher. We don't need to stalk you. Although we can't beat you, we still have to cause a lot of losses."

…Brother Chen Yu said that their main goal is to seize the power of the Herrscher, but be careful, they seem to be able to assimilate humans into their own kind through mental stimulation.

While Xi'er was thinking about the information shared by her brother Chen Yu earlier, she continued following the other party's words:

"Since you are not interested in me, why did you take us into this domination theater?"

"That was just an accident—if you hadn't tried to stop us from stealing the Plague Gem, we wouldn't have planned to pull you in. We'd rather be pulled in than you would be Bronya Zajcek Woolen cloth."

The puppet suddenly let out a strange laugh, and continued:

"However, since you are here, Miss Xier, have you considered joining us and becoming one of us?"

Sure enough, the plague gem had fallen into their hands, and they were indeed trying to attack the Herrscher.

Xier thought about it.

Since she couldn't escape for a while, she could only continue talking with the other party, delaying time and obtaining more information.

"Why did you invite me?"

"Because you have that value - we have already investigated you, well, this is the basic skill we should do."

The puppet said slowly:

"Xier Fleur, a lovely girl, unfortunately lost her parents in the second collapse and became an orphan... Oh, another girl who died because of the crimes Kiyana once committed. What about homeless kids, it's pathetic."

The puppet's head rotates 360 degrees.

"Although I was lucky enough to enter Cocolia's orphanage after that, that woman from the military is not a good thing. I took you in just to experiment with you. Hahaha, your favorite Bronya Elder sister, she was about to die in her hands at that time, but you still called her Mama Cocolia, it's really ironic."

"and also……"

The puppet slowly told about Seele's life, to prove that they did know something about her.

However, many of them are interspersed with a few words of ridicule.

"Ah, of course, these things are actually not important. The most important thing is that you are a born stigmata awakener. A power like yours can be used by us."

"How do you know? There are obviously a lot of things here, well, almost no one else will know..."

Xier asked cautiously.

She tried to ask the other party's source of information.

"This is a commercial secret, Miss Seele, unless you join us, we can't tell you about it."

The puppet shook his head regretfully.

"So... what's the benefit of being a member of you? You know, Anti-Entropy, Destiny, and World Snake are all looking for you and trying to destroy you."

"What's the use of that? As long as we don't take the initiative to attack, even if we wait until the end comes, they won't have a chance to catch our tail."

The puppet sneered and continued:

"Even if nine hundred and ninety-nine companions are killed, as long as there is one left, we will still be able to make a comeback. Human malice is our source of strength. Malice will not disappear, and neither will we."

Therefore, to defeat them, a thousand individuals must be eliminated together, otherwise, once one of them escapes and hides, the previous efforts can be wasted at any time, and a comeback can be made again...

Seele thought.

She felt that it would be very difficult to defeat this Herrscher.

On the one hand, it is difficult to completely obliterate them because of their strong survivability, and on the other hand, they are not very confident in whether they can deal with up to a thousand individuals.

After thinking for a moment, she continued to try to ask:

"That is to say... you have hidden an individual in the outside world to ensure that you will never be wiped out?"

"You are very smart. Of course, it doesn't matter if I tell you about this."

The puppet said quite proudly:

"Anyway, it's impossible for you to find the individual we hid and destroy it."

"How? Miss Seele, are you interested in joining us and becoming one of us?"

"...I don't intend to be one of you."

After saying these words, Xi'er took a light breath and activated the power of her own stigmata.

She entered the state of [Twins].

Seeing this, the puppet just shook its head regretfully, and then three or five Honkai beasts appeared from the void, all of them were wrapped with transparent silk threads, and were controlled by the puppet.

"It's a pity. I originally wanted to surrender without fighting, but it seems that I still have to do something to you."

The manipulated monster rushed to the lonely girl and fought with her.

"... Another me, how about it?"

While relying on the power of the stigmata to parry these monsters, Xi'er communicated with the other self in her heart.

When she had a conversation with the other party just now to buy time, Hei Xi was not idle either. She relied on her own ability to observe whether there were any weak points that could be attacked in this different space.

"Good job, Xier, I have discovered that this different space is not a complete world, but a large number of broken spaces pieced together... As long as we find the weak point of the space connection, we have a chance to open a space rift Back to reality."

Without another Xi'er to make up for Bai Xi's deficiencies, their [twin] status could not be maintained for too long.

As the only solution, Xier can only try to bombard the weak places in the space to open the escape channel.

At this moment, the puppet who was watching the battle said with great interest:

"I know that your experience in the Quantum Sea may indeed have given you a wonderful perception of space, but when we actively closed all channels to the outside world, we want to break the space and escape from here. It is not such a simple matter—I believe that you are not fully sure, unless..."

It sincerely recommends:

"Unless, Xier, you can completely hand over the control of your body to another self, and let her exert her full strength—you know, you are the one who is holding back in this body."

"..."

Although this proposal seems very reasonable, and Xier also understands that she is indeed unable to exert the full power of the stigmata, but she also understands a very simple truth——

Never do what your enemies want you to do.

They... want another me to occupy the dominance of the body?Perhaps, their real target is not themselves, but another me.

Thinking of this, Xi'er became more determined not to follow the other party's thinking. If their target was really Hei Xi, she had to protect her even more.

At the same time, on the other side of the theater, there seemed to be a certain level of fighting, and even Xier, who was here, could feel the aftermath of the explosion.

"That is……?"

"Ah—ah, it looks like another guest has already arrived at the Domination Theater."

Chapter 22

forced fall

10 minutes ago, Salt Lake City Base.

"Attention to all departments, attention to all departments, due to the sudden loss of control of the mechs in the base, all enter the first-level alert, all enter the first-level alert!"

The sound of the broadcast echoed everywhere in the base, and the sudden runaway mechs were definitely not the only ones attacking the storage room of the plague gem. The entire base became extremely chaotic for a while.

The people scattered all over the base used their respective skills to subdue the runaway mecha, and then they gathered together urgently for an impromptu meeting.

Not everyone gathered here, Mei, Teresa, Fu Hua and others were still in the base to help the panicked crowd evacuate, and beware of new enemies that might reappear.

"Undoubtedly, [The Herrscher of Domination] launched an attack on anti-entropy...and this is the core I took out of the attacker."

Dr. Tesla pointed to a small fragment on the table.

"This is... the core of the Herrscher of a Thousand People?"

Kiana looked at it.

In terms of size alone, it is quite different from the Herrscher core in me, Mei, and Bronya.

"Yes, I think [The Herrscher of Dominion] formally parasitizes the body of ordinary people through it. Its collapsed energy level is very small, so small that even if an instrument is used to scan the parasitized person before it is driven, to the extent that no results can be obtained.”

Dr. Einstein explained slowly.

"...So, Xi'er was caught in the domination theater?"

Naturally, what Bronya was most concerned about was Seele's disappearance.

She desperately wanted to enter it to rescue Seele.

"According to the information Chen Yu provided earlier, this generation of Herrschers of a Thousand People does indeed have a domain called Domination Theater that was never owned by previous civilizations. I think Xier is because of contact with one of Herrschers of a Thousand People , was transported into the theater through the function of the core."

Dr. Einstein nodded, she immediately looked at the tiny fragment on the table, and continued:

"Although there are no examples to verify, I think they can't open the door in reality at will like the Herrscher of the Sky. If you want to 'invite' others into it, I'm afraid you have to use the Herrscher's core as a [beacon]."

"Doctor, you mean..."

Bronya asked.

"Well, theoretically speaking, if we can use this core as a reference point for reverse deduction, it is possible to open the way to dominate the theater from the reality side."

Dr. Einstein nodded slightly.

"To do this kind of thing, you need a lot of data collection and calculations! How do we have so much time now?"

asked Dr. Tesla.

They have received communications from Destiny and the World Snake, and there have been disturbances within the three major organizations to a certain extent.The Thousand Lawrence must have come prepared this time, and will not leave too much time for them.

"...So now, we can only take a risk and try to take a shortcut."

Dr. Einstein sighed.

Her eyes naturally fell on Qiyana.

"Doctor, are you saying that you want me to use the power of the Herrscher of the Sky to find a way to enter the Theater of Domination?"

Qiyana knew it in her heart.

"Well, theoretically speaking, you who have an exceptionally strong perception of imaginary space... can eliminate most of the wrong directions in the experiment, and quickly locate the position that dominates the theater."

Dr. Einstein nodded.

"In that case, let's start trying."

Without hesitation, Qiyana replied immediately.

The preparation of the experiment did not take too much time. After all, after Qiyana's return, Anti-Entropy has been conducting various tests on the abilities of the Herrscher of Space, and there is no shortage of corresponding space-related detection equipment.

Putting on the helmet, the white-haired girl injected her own Honkai energy into the core of the Thousand Herrscher, and followed Dr. Tesla's guidance, step by step.

At this time, several people who were maintaining order outside also rushed to the laboratory one by one.

"...I found it! It's here!"

Dr. Tesla quickly operated something on the device, and at the same time asked Qiyana:
