"That's how it is. The incident caused by the Herrscher of Corruption was resolved by the planetary Honkai Beast, Starmoon."
"What?"
Kevin's pupils contracted as he suddenly recalled the incident when Raven was beaten black and blue and came out of Paradise. At the time, he thought that only Honkai Beasts were causing trouble in Paradise, but he never expected that the Erosion would be born so quietly.
"Kevin, is there anything else you want to ask? This trip to purchase materials and reporting back to you has already taken up a lot of my time."
Klein stared blankly, holding the report in his hand with his long sleeve covering his hands.
"You mean, the Herrscher of the Sea, Xingyue, defeated the Herrscher of Corruption in Paradise?"
Kevin's tone was somewhat incredulous.
"That's right!"
Klein nodded with absolute certainty.
"Moreover, it was an overwhelming victory, even after the Herrscher of Corruption had gathered the power of the Twelve Heroes."
Upon hearing Klein's assessment, Kevin's expression immediately became quite interesting.
Defeating the erosion in the data space? Even the End of Days couldn't do that easily, could it?
"Oh, right, here are some suggestions from the doctor and his colleagues."
Just as the other person was still eating, Klein pulled out another piece of paper.
"If you really want to carry out the Stigmata Project, Kevin, remember not to involve the Herrscher of the Sea, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Chapter 117: The Gray Serpent is Enraged
"okay, I get it."
Upon hearing this unbelievable news, the man, unusually, became extremely calm.
Kevin, supporting Skyfire, sat down upright, his gaze cold yet resolute.
Seeing this, Klein nodded.
"Goodbye, there's still a lot of work to be done in Paradise."
After the puppet left, Kevin pressed a button on the throne.
Before long, a red-eyed robot wearing a mask appeared in the room.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"Activate Project Stigmata!"
Kevin maintained his composure, and his emotionless words reached Gray Serpent's ears.
At this moment, Xingyue was touching Kiana's (true) chest, wanting to unzip her zipper.
Suddenly, the sky changed, and the originally clear weather turned gloomy.
Immediately afterwards, the cars on the road stopped, the lights went out, and this scene is spreading rapidly across the entire earth.
Outside the atmosphere, only the surface of Mother Earth is visible, where strange runes are gradually forming.
Around the Herrscher of the Sea, everyone stopped what they were doing, collapsed to the ground, and entered a state similar to a deep sleep. Their bodies gradually began to merge with their surroundings, becoming part of them.
Mountains, rivers, and buildings are all changing at an extremely rapid pace, and the entire face of the earth is reshaping itself in a way that is almost like rebirth.
"Um?"
The girl with frizzy hair raised her eyelashes, and the space around her began to shift, as if the Stigmata Project wanted to exclude her.
"Humph!"
The girl snorted coldly, and a power far exceeding the density of the Stigmata Project erupted from her body, shattering the surrounding space and suppressing the Stigmata Project's repulsion.
Meanwhile, the gray snakes, which monitor the Earth through various means, also discovered this horrifying scene.
"What? This is impossible! It can even negate the rejection of the Sacred Mark Project?"
However, before it could react further, this most uncontrollable entity jumped into the imaginary space.
This made the gray snake subconsciously think that something bad was about to happen again. Without hesitation, it hurriedly contacted several particularly powerful and skilled combatants.
Within the imaginary space, Xingyue traveled swiftly, approaching the direction of the Origin Habitat.
It's obvious that her target is Alicia.
When the Stigmata Project began, it was the closest she had ever been to the Origin. Guided by the imprint, she raced forward.
"Wait a minute~"
The green crystal directly in front of them twisted and formed several walls.
The girl's crystal shoe slammed to the ground, and with a sudden stop, it made a screeching sound as it rubbed against the ground.
A green-colored gray snake appeared before the Herrscher of the Sea.
Seeing this, the girl was quite displeased.
"What? As the second-in-command, instead of carefully managing your Stigmata Project, what are you doing here looking for me?"
"Hehehehe!"
The gray snake chuckled awkwardly a few times.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask, Miss Xingyue, where are you headed?"
"This has nothing to do with you, get lost and stop bothering me."
With a wave of her slender hand, the walls in front of her instantly shattered into countless fragments.
“That won’t do. As the most special being in the Stigmata Project, you must be under my constant surveillance…”
With a loud bang, the robot's android head shattered into pieces.
Before the gray snake could finish speaking, its head was crushed by the Honkai Beast, instantly killing it.
But then, something even more annoying happened.
The surrounding area was filled with countless mechanical androids, all of them individuals of the Gray Serpent, along with a large number of imaginary monsters manipulated by it.
"Hehehehe~"
The surrounding gray snakes let out a chorus of eerie laughter.
"I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Miss Xingyue to stay here for a while."
"That's it~"
The girl bit her thumb, looking at the monsters that surrounded her with a playful gaze.
"After all, your lord is a coward who is unwilling to face me directly, so he relies on the deaths of his subordinates to buy time."
"It seems the World Serpent plans to finish the Stigmata Project quickly and then run away with its tail between its legs, right?"
"Well! That's just how the Lord is, there's nothing we can do about it."
The Herrscher of the Sea shrugged, his tone rather helpless.
"What did you say?"
Click~
The gray snakes snapped the umbrella in their hands, their voices filled with undisguised rage.
"Miss Xingyue, your attempts to provoke us won't work."
After a moment's hesitation, Gray Snake forced himself to remain calm and said...
"A provocation tactic?"
The Herrscher of the Sea covered her mouth slightly, unable to hold back, and burst out laughing.
"Don't make me laugh. You think too highly of yourselves to deal with small fry like you? You actually need me to use reverse psychology."
"You~"
The gray snakes gripped their mechanical arms tightly.
"I am merely stating the facts. Your sovereign is nothing more than a defeated figure from the last civilization era. He was defeated by the end, his own civilization was destroyed, yet he placed his hopes on the next generation."
"Oh dear! Is this what people mean by hoping their children will become successful?"
"And you who worship him as your lord are, in the end, nothing more than losers."
Xingyue continued her provocations, each word piercing the heart.
Kevin, the Lord of the World Serpent, is a god in the eyes of the Gray Serpent, its very faith. How could it bear to be insulted like this to its face?
The gray snake on the other side could no longer tolerate it and summoned all its companions that were lurking around.
Chapter 118: Alicia
The gray snakes around her grew increasingly dense, but the girl didn't find it troublesome at all; instead, a subtle smile curved her lips.
"Are you all here?"
"What?"
Gray Serpent felt a sense of foreboding. The next second, he saw the Herrscher of the Sea's soft yellow form unfold countless phantoms in mid-air.
In this imaginary space, a strong wind of level ten suddenly arose, causing many monsters and gray snakes to lose their footing and be swept into the hurricane, turning into dust.
At the very center of the storm, a blue sphere of light, more than ten meters in diameter, was taking shape, its body surrounded by a layer of patterns that moved in irregular trajectories.
Xingyue lifted it up with both hands, raised it above her head, and then squeezed it tightly.
"Boom!"
A delicate shout rang out, and a dazzling white light enveloped everything.
Everywhere visible to the naked eye was covered by the explosion, and the aftershocks of energy devoured everything.
After a long time, the space finally calmed down, and the original path of the imaginary space was completely destroyed, leaving only fragments floating in the air.
"I can't believe you actually fell for it, Mr. Gray Snake~"
The girl covered her mouth and chuckled awkwardly, landing on a piece of rubble where a gray snake was still partially alive, with half of its body remaining.
The gray snake's eyes flickered, and it tried with difficulty to raise its head, but was pressed down by the crystal shoe.
"No way, really? You don't actually think I don't have any area-of-effect (AoE) skills, do you?"
"Haha~"
After another mocking snort, the girl with the spiky hair stomped her foot, completely crushing the head of the only surviving gray snake.
She wanted the last gray snake to spread the message, just to spite the other gray snakes.
Thinking of how angry the other gray snakes would be when they found out, yet how helpless they would be, Xingyue suddenly felt much less angry about her date with Kiana being interrupted.
After doing all this, the girl clapped her hands, pushed off with her feet, and sped up to head in the direction indicated by the inscription.
The surrounding environment rushed past and began to become increasingly blurry.
Suddenly, the originally dim space became bright, and the monotonous imaginary space instantly transformed into colorful clouds.
Beautiful shooting stars occasionally streak across the sky, scattering rainbow-colored snowflakes. This completely isolates the place from the deathly silence of the outside world, creating a flawless paradise.
"Ari-shia".
"I'm here to pick you up."
Xingyue shouted into the empty space, and the echo slowly returned to her ears.
After taking a deep breath, she mustered all her strength, transformed her right hand into a hand blade, and forcefully slashed at the void...
On the moon, Kevin, who was waiting for everyone on his lonely throne, suddenly clutched his chest.
The power of the end has become chaotic on a large scale.
What exactly is going on……
Not only him, but all the existing Herrschers, except for those affected by corruption, have all experienced similar situations.
Anna was alright; thanks to the injection of Honkai energy inhibitors, she pulled through. Shi Bao, being a Herrscher of Reason, also didn't have a major reaction.
However, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were all kneeling on one knee, their expressions extremely painful, and their bodies emanating black energy.
