Collapse, I save everything alone

Mingyu shook his head slightly.

This is something that will not be recorded in the database of destiny.

"You remember Kevin?"

"...Yeah, he looks pretty strong."

Xilin said with some lingering fear.

It's just like a monster.

Mingyu whispered:

“Everything that is happening now is what he did.”

That’s right, the culprit that made the world what it is today was not the Hollow invasion from Honkai, but a man-made tragedy—

【Stigma Project】.

It was not the variant plan in the original timeline that made all humans fall into a dream and then the Stigmata form took over the earth. After all, there was no existence called "Hato" in this world, so Kevin had no way to implement this version of the Stigmata plan.

Therefore, what Kevin is implementing in the world today is the purest and most original version of the [Stigmata Plan]:

A large amount of Honkai energy is directly released to the whole world, and through a large number of deaths, the Stigma Awakeners who can survive in a high concentration of Honkai energy are artificially screened out.

It's the cruelest...and worst plan.

Chapter 227 Cecilia Reunion

The experiment that the Jackal intended to conduct in Skydome City in the original timeline but was stopped by Kiana is what Kevin in this world is doing to this planet today.

The large amount of Honkai energy released can take the lives of ordinary people in an instant and turn them into dead soldiers. The overflowing Honkai energy will also catalyze the birth of Honkai beasts, which will wreak havoc in the city.

——This was the cause of the hellish scene that Mingyu and Xilin saw when they first came to this world.

Moreover, this is only the first phase of the Stigmata Project.

According to the records Su left on the leaves, the first phase of the plan alone only had a one in a thousand chance of survival.

The remaining small number of survivors will be forced to begin the process of awakening the stigmata.

There will still be sacrifices in this process, just like the children in Changkong City. Their stigmata were not fully awakened due to the third collapse, and their condition is not stable. They need drugs and treatment to return to normal.

All in all, this is definitely a plan that involves considerable sacrifice.

There is no need to wait until the end of time, 99% of ordinary people on earth will die as a result.

In a sense, what Kevin did here was no different from what the real Herrscher of the End would do.

Indiscriminate destruction and killing...is certainly not a good choice.

The reason why Mingyu came here with Xilin after the seal was lifted was because only in this way could they catch up with the crisis here.

"The Stigmata... Plan?"

The purple-haired girl tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion.

These four words were quite unfamiliar to her.

"Well, to put it simply, Kevin intends to use the Great Collapse to screen out those who can survive in a high concentration of Collapse energy. This way, even if the end comes to the surface later, this group of people will still be able to survive."

Mingyu explained.

"This……"

Xilin was speechless for a moment.

She was probably shocked.

Even judging from the perspective of a lawyer, she had to say that Kevin's actions were a bit too extreme.

Ming Yu looked at the silent purple-haired girl and asked with a chuckle:

"Does Xilin want to stop him?"

"Of course I do, but..."

The girl's voice was quite certain at first, but then it quickly faded away. She asked in a low voice:

"If we fight together, can we...win?"

Having met the other Kevin, she really had no confidence in this.

However, if Mingyu is included... maybe it will work?

After coming out of that world, she vaguely felt that Mingyu had changed a lot.

Well, I don’t mean the so-called “uncle feeling”, although this is also a point of change.

——He became very mysterious, and I felt like I couldn’t see through him.

And...are you more capable of planning?

In response to Xilin's question, Mingyu pondered:

"No way. With you and me now, we have no chance of winning against Kevin."

That man is undoubtedly the strongest person in the two generations combined, and there is a huge gap between him and the others.

Even if he added the Ruler of the Void, it would be difficult for him to get away with anything in front of that being.

Moreover, judging from the time when the Stigmata Project has been launched, Kevin has probably received the power from the God of Destruction and stolen the authority of the end.

Well, this is a perfect match, it’s even stronger than before, and it’s even more impossible to deal with.

"really……"

Xilin's voice sounded a little discouraged.

How can we defeat a monster that cannot be defeated at first sight...?

Just when the girl was feeling a little frustrated, Ming Yu chuckled and said:

"But the premise is the 'now' you."

"Eh? What does that mean—"

Xilin raised her head and wanted to continue asking, but she heard a familiar and gentle call coming from the door:

"...Xilin? Is that you?"

The girl turned her head suddenly and saw the familiar white-haired figure.

Cecilia Shaniat.

Seventeen years have passed. Due to her body condition as a Herrscher, she has not grown much, but time has left many traces on this Valkyrie.

She was still as beautiful as she was seventeen years ago, except that there were a few more wrinkles between her brows.

Cecilia put down the black abyss and white flower in her hand, trotted over, stretched out her arms, and hugged the purple-haired girl tightly in her arms.

The hug after seventeen years made Xilin feel a little helpless. She whispered:

"Cesi...Leah..."

"I knew you were okay..."

Cecilia apologized in a low voice:

"I'm really sorry about that time..."

She didn't want to attack Xilin, but the order from the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate could not be disobeyed.

As the saint of the Shaniyat family, she has been receiving such teachings since she was a child.

She has always felt guilty about this and thought she had hurt Xilin.

After Xilin jumped into the sea and disappeared, Tianming arranged a search team to investigate the nearby sea area, but Xilin's body was never found. Therefore, Cecilia believed that Xilin was not dead.

"...I don't blame you. It's all the fault of that Bishop of Heaven's Fate."

Xilin said softly.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. After living in St. Freya Academy for a short period of time, she knew who her real enemy was.

However, this enemy had disappeared from this world a year ago, and she felt a little regretful that she could not take revenge on him personally.

The two, who looked like mother and daughter, hugged each other for a while before separating. At this time, Cecilia noticed that there was another person in the room besides Xilin.

"Hello, you are……"

"Hello, Ms. Cecilia, I'm Mingyu."

Mingyu said politely.

Well, to be fair, this was also the first time he had seen Cecilia alive.

He is indeed as gentle as I imagined, and a very kind person.

After not seeing each other for many years, they did have a lot to talk about, but now was not the time to waste time on this.

If you want to stop Kevin's Stigmata Plan in this world, you must intervene in the talks between Anti-Entropy and Destiny in this world.

——According to Mingyu's observation, in order to deal with the sudden launch of the Stigmata Plan, the two organizations that have been in conflict for a long time have joined hands and are about to hold a meeting to deal with the World Serpent.

This is also the reason why he brought Xilin to St. Freya Academy.

Only by contacting Cecilia first and building a good relationship can we carry out subsequent operations smoothly.

Mingyu said straight to the point:

"Ms. Cecilia, we are here to help Destiny and Anti-Entropy stop the World Serpent's Stigmata Plan."

Chapter 228 Inherent Boundary: Infinite Key System

"The Holy Mark Project..."

Cecilia fell silent after hearing this.

——She also received the details about this plan not long ago.

Her husband is meeting with the top leaders of Anti-Entropy to discuss how to stop this plan, while she, her daughter Kiana, and other Valkyries are temporarily out on missions to rescue as many survivors as possible in the disaster.

"You, are you..."

"We are here for the Stigma Project."

After a pause, Mingyu continued:

"Please believe me, Ms. Cecilia. In times of crisis, it's always good to have a helping hand, isn't it?"

In the future he saw, the world's anti-entropy and destiny alone would not be able to stop Kevin and his Stigmata plan.

If he does not intervene, the future of this world will become one of the many failed endings recorded in the fallen leaves.

"..."

The white-haired Valkyrie hesitated, but finally nodded and said:

"...I'll take you to the meeting."

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

Because the Honkai disaster was erupting all over the world, the meeting place of Destiny and Anti-Entropy was not chosen in a fixed place, but on the Hyperion battleship, so that they could rush to any location at any time.

In the conference room, most of the senior personnel from both Destiny and Anti-Entropy have gathered here.

Siegfried, who is temporarily serving as the acting bishop, Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein from the anti-entropy field, and the figure of a middle-aged man projected by a dark blue Herrscher core.

In terms of destiny, only Siegfried came to Hyperion, and the other high-end combat forces were scattered around the world to prevent the further spread of Honkai and rescue survivors.

"Yang, what are you doing..."

Siegfried looked at the Anti-Entropy Leader, whom he was familiar with in the past and had become what he is now, and he was hesitant to speak.

He seemed to have lost his physical body and was now forced to reside in the Herrscher Core.

——Since Otto resigned as the Bishop of Destiny and was successively taken over by Theresa and him, the relationship between Destiny and Anti-Entropy is no longer as antagonistic as before, but has become more frequent and cooperative.

Siegfried had often been in contact with Walter Young before, and had even fought side by side with him.

He knew how powerful Yang was, and it was hard to imagine that the powerful First Herrscher would become like this.

"...Let me explain it."
