Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

Youlan Dell raised the Black Abyss White Flower to the jackal in front of him:

"Senior official of the World Serpent, what exactly are you doing here, playing tricks on me?"

The Jackal looked at the three people in front of him who were extremely nervous, gave a self-deprecating smile, then raised his hands above his head and gave a standard French military salute.

"Don't be so nervous. I surrender. Now all my research results are left on Earth... Let alone the three of you, even if it's one-on-one, I don't think I can win in close combat with a Valkyrie of your level."

The three of them showed surprised expressions at the same time.

"Are these [results] you mentioned... also related to the Stigma Project?"

"Of course. Didn't anyone tell you? Look at that Earth in the sky—

The Stigma Project has been completely completed. The anomaly of this Earth is proof that the real and imaginary spaces have been reorganized. The gears that have been in motion for 50,000 years have finally meshed, completely crushing the old order that cursed humanity. Next, all we have to do is wait for the new order to come into the world. "

"It doesn't matter. As the 'chosen ones', we can witness all of this clearly. It's a great blessing, isn't it?"

... "The chosen one". You mean the one who awakened the stigmata, right?

Jackal

Obvious.

——"Shin Yatra", how does this name inherited from "Mu" sound to you?

"We will spend a brief period of chaos in this artificial home, and then... we can return to the new Earth that has collapsed and ceased to exist. What a promising future, isn't it?"

"But, after all, only a very small number of people have awakened the stigmata. Those who are not "chosen"..."

"Of course they will stay where they are supposed to be. Hatoshi really did some unnecessary things."

The Jackal glanced at the Earth, which was restrained by the purple light.

"...Hato?"

"Ah. Strictly speaking, Yulandel, she does have some connection with you. But let's talk about what you really care about... Don't worry, for ordinary people who can't activate the stigmata, the Stigmata Project will not bring them pain. For them, they are just dreaming, a beautiful dream that can satisfy all their wishes..."

"And in the process, they will turn into holy marks, sink into the imaginary space, and become the foundation for building a new world. This is completely opposite to my style, isn't it?"

"...But how can a human...become a stigma?"

Xier asked in a very ordinary way, and for the first time, her face, which was always full of complacency, showed obvious gloom.

"…Honestly, I don't know either."

"what?"

"Now that I have explained so much to you all, there is no need for me to hide the rest. You may think that I am the most active promoter of the Stigmata Project... but judging by the results, the truth is far from that."

The Holy Mark Project has now been realized, relying on the technological achievements that the Lord has preserved from the last civilization era. It is this achievement that created the dual existence of Yutu.

"Dual existence? Do you mean...

"Yes. She was both a stigma and a human from the beginning. This definitely sounds weird, doesn't it? Although I call myself the chief scientist of the World Serpent... But I have to say that compared to 50,000 years ago, the progress I have made is just like a child who has just learned to stand."

"For the organization, the greater role of my research may be to attract the attention of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, and make you misjudge what the Stigmata Project is...

"And my presence here now means that my last role has been fulfilled, and it is time for me to officially retire."

"…Where is Kevin now?"

"It is naturally a space that cannot be reached or disturbed. As for where it is...how can we speculate on the Lord's thoughts?"

"you……"

"Su Chang... Never mind. What Otto said before was right. This is the kind of person he is."

"Ah, I like to hear that. For the sake of our former "allies" with Tianming, I have told you everything I know. As for whether you believe it or not, and what you plan to do... for an "organization" that is already in name only, it is not that important."

"…in name only? Are you saying that Kevin no longer needs you?"

"No... Throughout the long course of history... it is not the Lord who needs us, but we who need the Lord. It has always been like this. Therefore, this conversation with you is only the last gift I give to the World Serpent before it dies."

"As the 'strongest human' of this era, can you shake the 'Stigmata Project' that has already been completed? I really want to know the answer to this question - it will make a final evaluation of our cause."

"So, you regard us as...a tool to verify the stability of your plan?"

"Hmm...Xi'er, don't think so badly of me. Even without my warning, you would still rush around looking for the Lord like animals that have lost their vestibular receptors. Even though, you can't make any changes to the current situation."

"We may not be able to defeat Kevin at his full strength... but that's only because there are only three of us. Eliminating Honkai is definitely not an excuse to destroy humanity. Before we learn the whole truth... we will certainly be the enemy of your Lord."

"It's up to you. Anyway... we are not in a life-and-death situation now just because of the difference in concepts."

The Jackal smiled disapprovingly. She shrugged her shoulders and made a move to leave.

"After all, in front of the Lord's absolute strength, opinions are only opinions. Here's a piece of advice for you: Compared to defeating the Lord, the chances of you convincing [her] to stand against the Stigmata Plan are much greater. If [she] can take the initiative... it can indeed become the key to subverting the dream."

"After all... the stigmata are still a kind of [data life] in essence."
