Honkai, they all became my stigmata

It said slowly.

Because of the inability to correctly awaken [Man-made Collapse], the man named Siegfried Kaslana has been unable to escape from this stigmata space, and has been trapped here forever.

No matter how he struggles, how he tries to escape, he can only peel off the fragments of his personality in vain. In the end, he becomes a part of this space, loses himself forever, and forgets his name.

And what Kevin did was to use his own power to suppress all of this, to seal his offspring in the place where his crimes condense, and to use his own power to stagnate and freeze his state.

And at the moment when World Snake's [Stigmata Project] has not yet started, the power belonging to that man is still silent in this cold space, filling every corner.

This means that if they want to rescue Siegfried Kaslana from here now, Chen Yu and the others must—

"...Facing [Chimera] directly."

Chapter 13

Get ready, you're going to face the karma

“[Chimera]… what does that mean?”

Theresa asked.

She didn't understand the meaning of this word, and of course, the other two girls besides her didn't understand it either.

And the manager of the stigmata didn't seem to resist explaining these questions to Kaslana's descendants, and he answered patiently:

"As the original stigmata, Kaslana's stigmata has characteristics that are completely different from other stigmata you have seen in this era. I believe you are all aware of this-it will not change over time. The nature of its power will not be lost due to the inheritance of the family from generation to generation, and the power contained in it will not be lost due to the continuous dilution of the blood."

As a result of this characteristic unique to Kaslana, generation after generation of Kaslana's fighters will naturally choose to become powerful fighters and have the power to match.

"If you say that, it seems..."

Teresa nodded slightly.

Even Shaniat, one of the three major families, a powerful family with stigmata that emerged from genetic mutations in this generation, cannot stably inherit its special power of holy blood.

During the 500 years of Otto's reign, even with the full support of that man, the Shaniat family was once short of talents, and there were actually not many fighters to count.

——Even a family star like Cecilia is essentially a special individual bred by Otto through artificial means.

An A-level Valkyrie like Anna can already be regarded as an outstanding Shaniat.

"The reason for the unique characteristics of Kaslana's stigmata is that in the blood flowing in your body, in addition to the power from the gene, it also preserves a complete set of organelles from the Houkai beast .

"That's not the power of a single Houkai beast, but a combination of hundreds, thousands, and various types. All the Houkai beasts recorded in your generation can find their source in him."

The manager of the stigmata continued.

Therefore, this power is called [Chimera].

And now, Kevin's power is also sleeping in this stigmata space.

"If you want to rescue Siegfried, you will have to confront that force head-on and overcome him—he already belongs to [inhuman] in fact."

Its explanation came to an end, and the white-haired man remained silent, leaving time for discussion to them.

To save people is of course to save people, and none of them will retreat because of difficulties.

But before that, they can indeed make some preparations.

"In my opinion, it's better to try to awaken your power first, Youlandelle. The stronger you become, the higher our chances of winning will be."

Dust Feather suggested:

"In the meantime, we can go to Mr. Siegfried's sealed place to take a look at the situation, and... Teresa may take a break."

If you want to fight Kevin to some extent, then the more forces you can prepare, the better.

Among them, the "Power of Heavenly Origin" after Ulandale's full awakening is naturally a part that cannot be ignored. She is indeed No.1 in this generation.

"You're right, Dust Feather."

The blond girl nodded slightly.

Next, they will also temporarily divide the troops into two groups.

Everyone had no objection to this, so they immediately started to split up.

............................................................

While Youlandal went to awaken the power of the stigmata, the remaining three followed the manager of the stigmata through a long and secret road to Siegfried's sealed place.

This is an extremely cold hell, ruthless ice can be seen everywhere, only a lonely tower stands in the center, and the invisible coercion fills every corner, symbolizing the strength of that man.

This too cold environment made Theresa, who had just experienced a big battle, couldn't help trembling her limbs. She glanced at the two people beside her, but found that there was nothing wrong with them.

One, as the Herrscher of Fire, can raise the temperature of a flame to resist the severe cold, while the other, who seems to have a wonderful adaptability, is not afraid of the cold that seems to freeze time and space.

And her [Vishnu] has no resistance in this area... Although she has swallowed part of the authority of the false god, she still doesn't have the time to digest those powers.

"...I have to be strong, too."

She gritted her teeth, trying to forcefully endure it, but at this moment, Chen Yu noticed her embarrassment, and asked her in a low voice in a way of spiritual communication:

"It looks like you're not used to the temperature here."

"I, I'm fine..."

The white-haired girl replied stubbornly.

"Don't be too stubborn, don't talk about fighting when you are like this, I am afraid that you will fall in this cold environment..."

"...Then, what can you do?"

She was silent for a moment, then asked aloud.

"Holding Kiyana?"

Dust Feather said jokingly.

Her current body temperature must be very pleasant, like a hand warmer in winter.

"...It wouldn't be possible to fight like that!"

The girl glared at him lightly.

"Well, to be serious... your [Vishnu] should be able to gain power from me?"

Chen Yu proposed a truly feasible plan.

He can share his ability to adapt to any extreme environment with Teresa. Although I don't know how much she can get through Vishnu's devouring, it should be enough to help her resist the extreme cold here.

"Well, that... it is theoretically possible..."

The authority of false gods can be swallowed up, so naturally the power in Chen Yu can also do it.

"How to operate it specifically? Without further ado, I will help you replenish this ability."

Dust Feather asked.

After all, she is the master of [Vishnu], and only she knows how to use that devouring power.

"Uh, that..."

For some reason, Teresa secretly glanced at Qiyana, and then told Chen Yu the method.

……

In the extremely cold sealed place, everyone has arrived at their destination.

While Qiyana was seriously asking the manager of the stigmata for advice, Chen Yu was pulled behind the ice sculpture by Teresa.

The girl looked straight at the "boy" who was temporarily the same height as herself, and those azure blue eyes turned scarlet at some point.

She pursed her lips and said softly:

"...Then I'll start."

The girl stepped forward lightly, put her hands on his shoulders, and then lightly opened her lips and teeth that were like cherry blossoms, and bit hard on the position on the neck.

...The reason why he has to use force is because if he doesn't do this, he won't be able to bite his skin at all.

Some kind of bright red liquid flowed into her lip cavity along this brief connection.

And as the warm blood was drunk by her, the [Vishnu] in her body also exerted a corresponding effect, and the surrounding cold seemed to have weakened a lot.

——Draining blood is of course the simplest and most effective method.

Of course, there are other ways to devour Chen Yu from his body, but I am afraid that none of them are suitable for the current environment.

The girl who was no longer afraid of the cold immediately stopped drawing blood from his body. After cleaning the wound flexibly with her tongue, she raised her head slightly and looked at Chen Yu who was close at hand:

"Well... how do you feel?"

"Cool, numb, itchy, and a little sore."

"...I'm not asking you how it feels to be sucked blood!"

The girl raised her small fist and lightly tapped him on the chest.

What she wanted to ask was if there was anything wrong with him.

"Seriously speaking, it's just a little bit of blood. It's fine to give you two more breaths. Look, the wound has healed."

Chen Yu smiled and pointed to her neck. The line of defense that had just been breached by the girl's two small canine teeth had now been restored to its original state.

However, he immediately complained:

"However... if you just want blood, in fact, I can stretch out my arm and give you a bite."

"But... I read that in the comics, vampires always bite at this position..."

Teresa said weakly.

"..."

Is there something wrong with your way of learning common sense?

"Is there something wrong?"

"...It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered a certain vampire."

Chen Yu looked at the white-haired and red-eyed girl in front of her, but she suddenly hallucinated into a real vampire holding a giant axe. Well, after all, they all look the same in essence...

"Anyway, anyway, let's go back to Kiyana quickly. We've been out together for too long, and the refugees will worry her."

Teresa said with a guilty conscience.

After drinking the blood from Chen Yu, an impulse arose in her heart for no reason.

The beast crawling in her heart didn't seem to be satisfied with this little delicacy. As the saying goes, she wants to get more from him.

"...No, what am I thinking!"

Pursing her lips, the white-haired girl attributed all the throbbing in her heart to the influence of the Honkai beast, suppressed it, and then returned to Kiana and the manager of the stigmata together with Chen Yu.

And they were discussing a question——

"By the way, the manager of the stigmata, I once heard my father say that when every fighter of Kaslana is in a desperate situation, they will hear a voice guiding them and helping them mobilize their strength to get out of the desperate situation. Could it be that ... Is that so-called voice really you?"

Kiana asked curiously.

"Most of the time, it is true that I convey revelations to them and try to stimulate the power in them, but sometimes, Kevin, he will do this himself."

The manager of the stigmata nodded and replied:

"It's just that when he came forward in person, he basically did it during the 500 years he was sealed in the Quantum Sea. After regaining his freedom, he should not pay much attention to the affairs here."

To put it bluntly, it is boring to stay in the sea of ​​quantum...

"Just like what I told you just now, what you have to face is only his power sleeping here, not Kevin himself."

Although both are of the same strength, the passive fighting and the man's subjective consciousness are two completely different intensities.

"Really? How do I feel...he has come?"

Chen Yu, who came back from the side with Teresa, heard its words, touched his chin, and suddenly raised his head to look somewhere in the living space——

He was one step ahead of the stigmata and noticed the man's arrival.

The man fell from the sky and landed in front of them.

He glanced slightly at the will of the stigmata, nodded, and let it turn into crystal blue light and disperse little by little.

"It's our first meeting, the new bishop of Destiny, I'm Kevin, you can also call me...Kevin Kaslana."
