Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 446 New Clothes Again

“And the reason why I didn’t refine it as well is because I still need it to help you awaken the Holy Mark.” Jiang Mingrou said with a smile.

"But......"

Bianca shifted her gaze to the Stigma Will. After all, Jiang Ming had only refined the Stigma Space, but had not refined the Stigma Will. If the Stigma Will chose to commit suicide, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?

Although Bianca didn't care much about the awakening of the stigmata, she knew that Jiang Ming had paid a huge price, which seemed not worth it.

As if he could see Bianca's worry, Jiang Ming comforted her in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I'll go over and talk to him."

After saying that, Jiang Ming walked towards Kaslana's Stigma Will at a steady speed. As he walked, the surrounding scene also changed, gradually turning into the appearance of a lunar base.

He said calmly: "Kaslana Stigma Will, you already understand the current situation, is there anything else you want to say?"

The Holy Mark Will was silent for a while, and Jiang Ming observed its thoughts. If it showed any intention of self-destruction, he would have to take action and control the Holy Mark Will first.

However, just like Bianca didn't care about the awakening of the stigmata, Jiang Ming also didn't take it seriously. Bianca had already practiced the rules of the universe. If the stigmata really couldn't be awakened, or if it cost a huge price, it would not be worth it. Even if he really paid the price, Bianca would not accept it.

After weighing the pros and cons, refining the stigmata space, saving a lot of trouble in advance, and then persuading the other party to actively help Bianca awaken the stigmata, can be considered a good solution.

The thoughts in the Stigmata Will's mind had ended. It looked at Bianca, but it seemed to be talking to itself: "The Kaslana family, who bears the original stigmata, you have been bound by it since birth. The so-called [choice] is nothing more than an illusion caused by the impulse engraved in your instincts."

"Will [Saving the World] really make you happy? What can becoming a shield for the people bring to you? You are just living under [his] huge shadow, leaving the glory of life to the world and the bitter fruit of the curse to yourself."

"From the day he took on the entire world... I have been witnessing your fates repeating over and over again. Each of you... is very much like his past, very much like the life he abandoned for the world, very much like... that extremely bored Sisyphus."

Jiang Ming chuckled: "But because of your own responsibilities, you still felt most of the memories with us. Although some problems occurred because of my arrival, it didn't affect the overall situation."

"Because she had a great mother."

The Stigmata Will looked at Bianca and continued, "Although she cannot be called the strongest warrior, she can always protect you and watch over you. She has never left you. She exists in your body and in the blood flowing every minute and every second."

"Blood..." Bianca groaned.

"Do you remember what Doctor Otto told you before? He said that your resistance to Honkai energy will increase with the dose of Honkai energy you are exposed to. This is a power that countless generations have dreamed of. It is one of the origins of the Stigmata Project and the true purpose of the Holy Blood - to cross the boundary between imaginary and real numbers, to control Honkai with flesh and blood, and to embrace the truth." Speaking of this, the Will of the Stigmata spoke eloquently.

"This is a different path from that of the Herrschers, because they have long been branded as imaginary numbers. The Super Mutant Factor cannot do this either, because that is just a purely inhuman mutation. Ordinary Kaslana or Shaniyat cannot do this either, because their bodies cannot be reconciled with the essence of the world at all."

"This is something only you can do, and only you can succeed. This is also the fundamental reason why I gradually became interested in you. Your life and your value will far surpass those [Kaslana tragedies] that make people feel numb, empty and bored, and are of no help in saving the world."

"Since both parties trust each other, and you are the will of the Stigmata, a rule that has been working this way since 50,000 years ago, we are not going to use any words to change your mind. Let's just follow your rules."

Jiang Ming moved aside and motioned Bianca to come forward.

The girl understood and came to the front of the Holy Mark Will, three meters away.

"But if you want to change my mind, the first thing you have to do is to defeat yourself." The Stigmata Will suddenly transformed into a fake body of Yulandel, indicating that Bianca had to defeat herself first.

However, looking at the "self" in front of her, still herself wearing the Shining Knight Yuepo, Bianca secretly shook her head. This battle was too disproportionate because the opponent was herself who had not yet practiced the rules of the universe.

Obviously, the other party did not know the existence of the rules of the universe, and because Jiang Ming secretly refined the Holy Mark Space, he did not observe any memory of this aspect.

From this perspective, things become much easier, although from this perspective, it is not really defeating yourself at all.

Bianca simply raised her right hand slightly, and sparkling stars suddenly appeared in the area within a radius of ten miles. Some of the starlight turned into star chains and flew towards the Stigmata Will. Even though the Stigmata Will had the combat awareness of Yulandel, that was a long time ago after all.

Ever since Jiang Ming brought down the world's cosmic rules to cover the earth in 2015, the cause and effect fate of Bianca and others had long been changed. Even if the Stigma Will was imitated, it could only imitate Yulandel in 2015. How could it be Bianca's opponent?

Soon, golden star chains locked the limbs of Yulandel's fake body and tied it up. Then the remaining starlight condensed into star needles, which mercilessly pierced the holy mark will with its own appearance, immediately turning it into a hedgehog, and even passing through the hall, looking extremely miserable.

As the fake body created by the will of the Holy Mark was destroyed and dissipated, boundless desolation once again overwhelmed all the girl's senses.

Different from other static memories she had experienced before...she could feel that in the depths of this desolation, there was a silent ascetic will curled up.

As if in response to her attention, his curled up will immediately stretched out, and he chose one of the many desolate scenes as the landscape of his mind.

The will of the stigmata in front of him also transformed into Kevin's image, which shocked Bianca when she saw this appearance for the second time, but she did not have an attack.

The Stigmata Will spoke first: "To you, this should be our first meeting, but I am just a shadow of Kevin, a bubble that stays here just to guard this special stigmata. It is the most basic part left after discarding all the external personalities you have seen before."

"You know what I'm going to do next, and I also know what you're going to do next. I can't maintain this state for long. This is probably the only chance for us to communicate. If you have any questions, just ask them. After this, I will start to awaken the stigmata for you."

Bianca looked at Jiang Ming first, and the latter nodded slightly. She then decided to ask for some information that might be helpful to her.

"You seemed to have been hinting that Kaslana's stigmata were completely different from the other stigmata."

"Yes."

Kevin's face was calm as he said calmly, "Kaslana's stigma is not only a set of genes passed down from generation to generation, it also includes a series of organelles that originally belonged to Honkai beasts, just like most plants rely on chloroplasts to photosynthesize - these organelles that are unique to Kaslana can ensure that Kaslana's stigma will not decay rapidly with the change of generations, and provide every descendant with the opportunity to awaken true power as it is now."

"According to this statement...can't all members of the Kaslana family be considered ordinary humans in the biological sense?" Bianca said.

"It depends on your perspective. Although your special genes and organelles make your underlying physiological mechanisms quite different from those of ordinary people... even the mitochondria or chloroplasts of ordinary organisms originated from certain bacteria that settled in the cells due to accidental factors." The Will of the Holy Scar said without hesitation.

"Kaslana's bloodline is no different from these things. If you don't have a special obsession with cleanliness, you don't need to feel like you've suddenly become some ancient species."

Bianca nodded at that and looked around again.

"This space... I initially thought it was some kind of residue from the imaginary space, but you said it was a holy scar space with its own structure and origin?"

"It's actually the same thing, just from a different perspective. The stigmata and the stigmata space were originally a kind of failed product that did not meet the standards. [She] once tried to use the stigmata to directly connect human will with the imaginary space, but the result was not satisfactory."

"So, they had no choice but to formulate the [Stigmata Plan], a plan that would use this failed product as a price to exchange for the future of humanity and civilization."

"No, the Stigma Project is not a plan to exchange for the future of humanity and civilization. It is simply to exchange for the future of civilization. Humanity... does not have a real future." Jiang Ming reminded when he noticed something wrong.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next. The side effect is that only people like you have the opportunity to cross the ages and witness the cruel yet prosperous Mingguan."

Kevin added, which made Jiang Ming raise his eyebrows slightly.

In other words, after the Stigmata Project is completed, only those who have awakened the Stigmata can survive normally. Jiang Ming has no memory of this, nor has he made any calculations in this regard, so it is indeed a bit unexpected to know this now.

Bianca said seriously: "We certainly cannot accept being destroyed by Honkai, but we also cannot accept such a radical plan. By the way, I have heard that the Kaslana family has a family will that will try to help them when they are in desperate situations."

"That will... could it be you?"

"...It depends on how you interpret it."

Kevin was silent for a moment before replying, "My duty is only to help them awaken the power contained in the stigmata. The rest is either attached to the stigmata themselves, or, as you said before, is just their own indomitable will. Moreover, when something unexpected happens occasionally, the real [me] will personally take over my duties."

"But those were all anecdotes from when he was sealed in the Quantum Sea and had nothing to do on the outside of the world. Even if he regained his freedom... I don't think he would be interested in things here."

"You mean... he abandoned his offspring?" Bianca asked after a moment's silence.

"......It depends on how you understand it."

The Holy Scar Will shook his head after hearing this: "For that man, he just felt that he had shouldered a heavy crime, so he chose to stay away from his blood relatives."

"The Stigmata Project..."

Because Jiang Ming changed a lot of destinies, Bianca only learned about this plan today.

The Stigmata Will continued: "Maybe there is more to it than that. But more details...even I have no way of knowing, after all, I am not the real him."

"..."

"I should be fine now."

After thinking for a moment, Bianca closed her eyes and shook her head.

"very good."

The Stigmata Will said calmly, "Then next, I will stimulate the power of Kaslana's Stigmata that is dormant in your body. That power far exceeds the limits of ordinary humans. If you want to eventually defeat and control it... I suggest you be fully alert."

After saying that, the Holy Mark Will glanced at Jiang Ming with some fear, and the scenery in the man's mind gradually dissipated, leaving only an extreme cold that corroded the girl's bone marrow.

The girl concentrated her mind and felt a fateful road, like a frozen glacier, slowly and steadily extending under her feet. The girl's body was freezing and her blood was boiling.

The road stretched out and led her to the end of nothingness, where only one voice echoed repeatedly in her mind...

Kill Honkai

A large amount of blood-red text seemed to appear in front of my eyes, and even my vision seemed to be eroded by the blood curtain. The only thing in my mind was——

[Kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai, kill the Honkai]

Kill kill ...

“…Hmm!”

Bianca groaned in pain, and Jiang Ming watched quietly, ready to take action at any time to suppress the interference of the voice on Bianca.

"......Hmm?" Jiang Ming suddenly let out a light exclamation.

This is because Bianca's current condition has changed, at least it is much better than her previous painful and slightly hideous expression.

He took a closer look and was immediately delighted! He was relieved and said, "Bianca...well done."

Thousands of star thoughts emitting sparkling starlight suddenly appeared in Bianca's mind, and then the star thoughts gathered together at a very fast speed.

The path of wisdom emphasizes three essential elements - thought, intention and emotion, and there are many types of these three, which are too numerous to count.

When a considerable number of thoughts are gathered together, they will form "intention", that is, will, and when a considerable number of wills are entangled together, they will turn into "emotion". Different thoughts will form different wills, and different wills can be transformed into different emotions.

For example, the thought of war can form the will to fight, which can make people extremely eager to fight.

For example, poetic thoughts can form poetic ideas, and poetic ideas can be transformed into poetic emotions, which can make people sing beautiful poems and lyrics. This is what is meant by poetic and picturesque ideas.

The large amount of star thoughts that Bianca condensed at this moment were constantly condensing, but those star thoughts did not turn into star intentions, but condensed into a large amount of [my intentions].

If will can influence others, then [my will] can prevent the influence of others' will.

I just need to use my will to wash away other wills, and then those wills will be washed away completely.

At this moment, the will of [Kill Honkai] that appeared in Bianca's mind was affecting Bianca's original will, so it was most appropriate to wash it away with my will.

Star Killer Move——The stars are my thoughts!

Using the rules of the starry universe to simulate the effects of the Zhidao school shows that Bianca has a very thorough understanding of the rules of the starry universe.

The warm blood flowed back to the brain, and the madness coming from all directions suddenly disappeared.

Crazy power continued to overflow from the girl's body, but unlike all her predecessors, the girl felt that she had an extra power that could truly control it.

That power was silent and warm, gentle and powerful. It prevented her from becoming a vessel for releasing the power of revenge and helped her become a knight who controlled an ancient destiny.

Thick purple-blue mist wrapped around the girl's body, but the mist soon dissipated, and the girl Bianca's clothes became brand new, and even the bangs in front of her hair were dyed with a touch of white.

"Ah...new clothes again." Jiang Ming sighed softly.
