Honkai, they all became my stigmata

Theresa's voice, and the sound of chains rattling.

"Qiana, Meng, it's time to wake up."

The monitor's voice.

"Experiment number K423..."

...the voice of the Catholic Church.

The white-haired girl was struggling in consciousness.

That Herrscher of the Void - set off countless pasts in her mind, and made people who were kind and hated reappear before her eyes.

In the spiritual world, the Second Herrscher floated high in the air, looking at Qiyana who was struggling below.

"It is these stupid human beings who created our tragedies, and it is they... who brought the punishment from God with their own hands."

The queen's voice echoed in her ears all the time.

"Qiana, you are just a container...a cage that humans use to restrain me."

No, that's not the case...!

"The past and memories you have are just woven lies...they never belonged to you."

I'm not... not...

"In that case, why don't you join hands with me and fight back hard against those humans who deceive us and manipulate our fate?"

The Second Herrscher's ridicule hovered in the air for a long time, as if a raucous flock of crows were coiling around a dying man.

She stared at Qiyana who was constantly fighting and destroying below, yes, that's it, just step by step, let's fall into pessimistic and negative emotions-then, the Second Herrscher will return again.

However, her wild laughter was soon interrupted by another voice.

To be more precise, it was another voice similar to his own, or exactly the same voice.

"Qiana, don't give up."

This voice was soft but full of power, like an angel descending, suddenly injected some courage into Qiyana's heart.

It was a purple-haired girl, and she came to the spiritual battlefield where Qiyana and the Second Herrscher competed.

"You...you are..."

"I'm Sirin."

The purple-haired girl landed beside Kiyana and gently helped her up.

With the girl's reassurance, the noisy light and shadow around her were gradually dissipating, and Qiyana's mind gradually stabilized.

"Tch, the guy who got in the way—"

The Second Herrscher gritted her teeth. She looked at the purple-haired girl on the ground with fear. This time, this guy spoiled her good deed again.

"It's impossible for you and that man to stay by her side and protect her forever. One day, I will seize the opportunity to fully control this body again."

"and many more--"

Sirin quickly called to the Second Herrscher who was about to leave from a high place.

"Why do you run away in a hurry every time you see me?"

It's like being afraid of her.

"...I think we can sit down and talk about some things. Obviously, we are all Sirin."

"Stop talking!"

The queen waved her hands irritably, and roared angrily.

"I don't admit that you are Sirin!"

Afterwards, the figure of the Second Herrscher fled in a panic and disappeared without a trace.

……

In reality, in a hut on the outskirts of Sky City.

"【Holy Spear Reverse Current】."

The soft light shrouded Qiyana's sleeping body, and Chen Yu concentrated on controlling the power of creation, guiding the Houkai energy scattered all over her body to a certain place in her body, and sealed it.

"Miss Kiyana... her mental state is very unstable."

Xier said rather worriedly.

"Well, the Herrscher personality in her body... is trying to get this body all the time."

Of course, compared to Xier's powerless state in the face of the law of death, at least Kiyana still has a chance to contend with it.

Fortunately, Sirin and Xier, who once mastered the power of the Herrscher of the Sky and the Herrscher of Death respectively, could help. Of the three Herrscher cores located in the girl's body, two of them could be slightly suppressed to delay her physical deterioration. Case.

Among them, in particular, in the face of the second Herrscher's psychic offensive, Sirin can also help Qiyana resist.

As long as Chen Yu stays by Qiyana's side, she can still maintain her physical health.

However, this is only a delaying strategy after all.

"...If she can't fully accept the fact that she is a Herrscher, the core will still erode her one day."

Heart disease, you have to use other methods to solve it.

"Is there anything you can do?"

Seele asked.

"It's not that it's not there, it's just..."

Chen Yu pondered.

"Well……"

The girl on the bed murmured softly, and at the same time, Sirin also returned to his stigmata.

"Qiana, you're awake."

Chen Yu said softly.

"... Dust Feather."

The girl sat up, but she looked at Chen Yu beside her with some fear.

"I... I'm a sinner, you don't have to follow me all the time, let me go wandering alone."

Now she is very afraid of meeting relatives and friends she is familiar with, and does not know what kind of posture to use to face them.

But from the first moment she woke up, Chen Yu was always here.

Follow her every step of the way, take care of her——

This kindness and tenderness made her feel more self-blame and guilty.She felt... unworthy.

"We are all wanted criminals by fate now. Rather than acting separately, it is better to help each other and survive together."

"..."

"You don't want to see me being captured by the destiny at some point, do you?"

"I...I understand..."

Kiyana lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

"However, if we are here, we are still safe for the time being."

Tianqiong City, a place that is not completely controlled by any of the forces of Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Snake, is a good place to survive in troubled waters.

In fact, it was only after Chen Yu brought Qiyana here that he realized the arrest warrant issued by Destiny around the world.

I am honored that my priority is second only to "Herrscher of the Sky", and much higher than other people in the Far East branch... Is that guy Otto still thinking about giving him a soul steel face? That punch?

By the way, Teresa's name is not on the arrest warrant.

"……Um."

Looking at the sullen and taciturn girl on the bed, Chen Yu slightly sighed.

It seems that we still have to find a way to help Qiyana overcome her knot.

"Anyway, let's take Xiao Nizi out to get some air first."

Because World Snake is about to carry out the stigmata project in Tianqiong City, there are frequent Honkai disasters in this city. Still far from stopping.

This phenomenon can help.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu stretched out his hand to the girl on the bed.

"The weather is getting warmer today, let's go for a walk in the city, Kiyana."

Chapter 2

lonely moon

The so-called "walking around the Sky City" is actually to patrol around to see if there is any Honkai Beast invasion phenomenon, which is what she and Chen Yu often do after they come to Sky City.

After wearing their concealed clothes and hoods, the two left the suburban hut, walked on the sparsely populated suburban path, and headed towards the urban area of ​​Tianqiong City.

Sky City was originally a city that never falls at night, and it shines brightly no matter when and where, but since the Great Crash happened a few months ago, a large number of refugees have flocked here. Due to frequent Honkai beast invasions, there are now far fewer pedestrians on the streets.

"I didn't expect that Tianqiong City has changed so much now."

Sirin is no stranger to Tianqiong City. After all, she and Chen Yu had already come here to shop together more than ten years ago, and reached the deal with the World Snake here.

"Compared to the era you were in, it's been so long... It's normal to have such a big change."

Chen Yu turned her head and glanced at Qiyana who was silently following behind him.

"By the way, Sirin, Qiyana's current situation..."

Chen Yu asked Sirin.

"She is very resistant to the strength of the Herrscher's core, and she is unwilling to accept them."

Sirin said regretfully.

There is a precedent for Sirin possessing Qiyana in the Quantum Sea, Chen Yu had an idea, and asked Sirin to temporarily help Kiyana to resist the queen's spiritual erosion.

Facts have proved that this method is really effective. Kiyana's body does not reject the entry of Sirin's stigmata. Of course, Xier's stigmata is not rejected either. After all, she is quite adaptable to "emptiness" and "death". Even the core of the Herrscher is still embedded in her body.

"If Kiyana is willing to accept that power. I can teach her how to use the power of the Herrscher of the Sky, but she is still unwilling... to accept my existence."

More directly than practicing Taixu Sword Qi, Xilin, an old-fashioned law of space, taught Qiyana to master the power of the herrscher of space.

"In addition, that [another Sirin], for some reason, seems to be very afraid of me, and runs away every time he sees me."

The queen retracted into the Herrscher's core, waiting for the next opportunity to destroy Qiyana's spirit.

"... Take your time, there is still time."

The two walked to the park in the center of the city. From this location, it is more convenient to go to any area of ​​Tianqiong City.

It's noon, which happens to be lunch time.

"Go and buy her something to eat, Chen Yu."

Xi'er went online and urged in Chen Yu's ear.

Compared with the discussion of Chen Yu and Sirin's "professional field" that she can't get involved in for the time being, it is obvious that she is more concerned about Kiyana's health.

"No matter how you feel, you still have to eat. Only when you take care of your body can you go all out to fight against the villains."

——This is my experience as a big sister in an orphanage.

"...You're right, Seele."

Chen Yu touched her head, told Qiyana to stay where she was, and ran to the fried chicken shop beside her.

"If I remember correctly, this should be Qiyana's favorite food."

Fried chicken nuggets.

When she was still in Santa Freya, every time Kiana acted like a baby to Mei, she would get a big plate of fried chicken nuggets. Well, of course, the heavy responsibility of purchasing ingredients fell on Chen Yu's shoulders.

"The amount should be enough, right?"
