Chapter 155: Kiana 1, Mei 1? All of them are 0!
"Don't touch it directly, Project Bunny, give it to me."
Hearing the silver-haired girl's command, Project Bunny's hand, which was raised to shake off all the dirt, instantly paused, and it obediently handed over the item.
The silver-haired girl raised her hand and picked up the black cube buried in the soil, examining it with interest.
The material composing the black box was extraordinary; buried for centuries, its surface still gleamed like brand-new steel, unstained by dust, and even slightly damp soil couldn't cling to its surface.
"Is this that Jizo Mitama thing?"
Jumping out of the large pit, Kiana casually tossed the shovel aside and eagerly ran to the silver-haired girl's side, reaching out to touch the limited-edition equipment.
"It seems you didn't remember anything I said earlier."
Showing Bronya's classic expression (000), the silver-haired girl slapped away the white-haired dumpling's small hand, "I told you not to touch it directly."
"Jizo Mitama is a Divine Key made from the core of the Twelfth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Corruption, from the Previous Era. It possesses the power of corruption, and a complete Herrscher consciousness exists within it. Even a slight carelessness can corrupt the contactor."
I remember in the manga, S-rank Valkyrie Theresa, a Judah wielder, overturned when facing the pseudo-Herrscher who wielded poison. She was briefly controlled by Hyoukai Maru before completing the counter-kill. Afterwards, the donkey-eared loudmouth suppressed Hyoukai Maru, and Theresa lost consciousness and fainted.
Classic move: borrowing the fox spirit's power against the enemy, then sealing it away again after use.
Naruto Uzumaki and the Fourth Hokage expressed their approval.
Especially for mechanical constructs like Project Bunny, the special attack effectiveness is maximized, which is why the silver-haired girl prevented Project Bunny from touching it.
"It's a very dangerous thing," Raiden Mei said with a solemn expression.
She understood!
A sealed item containing the consciousness of a demon lord or devil, obtained by a newbie adventurer who wouldn't survive five minutes in a horror movie. If touched recklessly, the evil consciousness within would control their body, becoming its vessel.
At that point, the demon lord would conquer or destroy the world.
She totally got it!
"Then why can you touch it, Silver Wing?"
Kiana poked the black box repeatedly with her baseball bat, cautiously, like poking a sleeping tiger. She tilted her head towards the silver-haired girl.
"Of course, it's because I have a way to resist her corruption."
Using a Persona, the principle is the same as resisting the Stellaron's whispers and the Shadow Mask's dark corruption, and it's even easier.
After all, the special attack of the power of corruption primarily manifests in technological constructs. Its corrupting effect on biological minds and consciousness is only mediocre; that falls within the authority domain of the Herrscher of Sentience.
However, for the true Herrscher of Corruption, which exists in the form of an ultimate virus, it can completely bypass the mind and forcibly corrupt the body for control.
But in that case, the situation would be similar to Cocolia attempting to control Bronya's body using biological chips; you would need to deal with the system's inverse mapping program.
Let alone the Herrscher of Corruption, even the authority of corruption at the Herrscher of the End level couldn't achieve that!
"What do we do next?" Mei asked, looking at the black box in the silver-haired girl's hand.
"Well, it's simple, it only takes four steps."
The silver-haired girl tossed the black box up and caught it, her brows curving into a beautiful arc, and a heartwarming smile appeared on her tender, cute little face.
"First, we enter the Stigmata Space together."
"Second, find the Herrscher within the Stigmata Space."
"Third, harshly 'Ora' her, and teach her some physics."
"Fourth, complete the final steps of the Divine Key. If we can't, we return to the third step, repeat until she complies after enough 'Ora'."
"Ah, this…" ×2
Hearing the little angel smilingly utter words far below 36.5 degrees Celsius, Kiana and Raiden Mei's expressions both turned a bit strange.
"I have a question!" ×2
The 'cook wife' and the white-haired dumpling exchanged glances. After two seconds of silence, they simultaneously raised their hands to ask questions.
"Kiana-san, you first," Teacher Bronya chose the white-haired dumpling who had raised her hand half a second earlier.
"What is Stigmata Space?" The 'parasite' blinked her large, unpolluted, innocent eyes.
Raiden Mei assumed a posture of serious listening. Although it wasn't her question, she also didn't know what Stigmata Space was.
"The so-called Stigmata Space is…"
Considering their current knowledge base, the silver-haired girl didn't explain the essence of Imaginary Space or anything similar, but merely explained the surface in terms that even a 'parasite' could understand.
"Oh, it's just a consciousness space, I understand now!"
Kiana put her hands on her hips, an expression of "that's all?" on her face.
"Mei-jie~ What's your question?"
The silver-haired girl ignored the brain-stem-deficient bug and looked at the other student asking a question.
"The Herrscher of Corruption's power is so special; are the three of us really enough?"
Mei's question revealed a hint of worry.
Mainly because she had previously learned about the Herrscher of Corruption's glorious deeds from Silver Wing.
Like manipulating nuclear bombs to destroy the last three remaining cities of the Previous Era civilization…
If an accident occurred and the Herrscher of Corruption controlled this world's nuclear bombs and launched them into cities, that would truly be 'Game Over' of all 'Game Overs'!
"Should we ask Father to provide support? Or let Uncle Siegfried help?"
"Don't worry, what was before is before, what is now is now."
The silver-haired girl waved her hand dismissively.
The Herrscher Core had long since lost its activity and could no longer link to Imaginary Space.
Imprisoned in the Divine Casket, it resisted for fifty thousand years.
Afterward, the constantly consuming Honkai energy tempted outsiders to try and break the seal. Five hundred years ago, it finally managed to escape, only to be brutally beaten by a certain white-haired saintess of Schicksal who wielded Judah.
It was sealed again, and dueled with the donkey-eared Miko, wearing each other down in the Stigmata Space for over five hundred years.
In the normal worldline, it would have received a large resupply from the Third Honkai Impact, absorbing Honkai energy to recover. But now the Third Honkai Impact has been prevented, so there's no energy to absorb.
The lonely old fox, having experienced the aforementioned encounters, was already weakened to an unprecedented degree.
Moreover, asking Raiden Ryoma to bring in a Titan would clearly be helping the other side, wouldn't it?
"Besides, it's not just the three of us; we have helpers."
"Helpers? Where?" Kiana immediately looked left and right, wanting to find a familiar figure. She thought Silver Wing had called her rotten dad back.
"They're in here," the silver-haired girl tapped the black box with a slender, delicate finger, then turned: "Let's go."
"Where are we going?"
"To the car, of course. If you want your body to be lying on the ground when your consciousness enters the Stigmata Space, I won't stop you."
The three returned to the sports car, reclined the seats, and lay neatly side-by-side on the makeshift "bed," with Bronya sandwiched between the two.
"Are you ready? I'm going to start now."
"Mmm-hmm~!"
Kiana wrapped her arms around the silver-haired girl's waist and abdomen, snuggling to find a comfortable position.
Mei also hugged the silver-haired girl's neck, nodding in response.
Bronya regained control of her body, nudged Kiana somewhat dismissively, then returned control to Silver Wing.
Silver Wing injected Honkai energy into the black box.
Feeling this power, the black box reacted like a fisherman who had been casting for centuries, suddenly noticing his float move. He immediately dropped the instant noodles he had just prepared and hadn't taken a bite of, grabbing the fishing rod and yanking it hard.
Consciousness was the fish that actively took the bait. As the angler suddenly reeled in, it was as if it was hooked from a pond into the air, breaking through a certain barrier to enter another world.
"Ugh, where is this…?"
Consciousness was pulled, a brief sensation of dizziness, which soon subsided.
Kiana vigorously shook her head, opened her eyes, and before her was no longer Nagazora City's abandoned station, but a lush jungle filled with bird song and the scent of grass, rich with natural atmosphere.
"Is this the Stigmata Space?"
Coming back to her senses, Mei could see a village in the distance directly ahead, with architectural styles reminiscent of the Far Eastern Warring States period.
"That's right, this is the Stigmata Space."
Hearing this, Kiana and Raiden Mei both froze in astonishment.
That voice, still carrying its characteristic milk powder scent, yet delivering a mellow fragrance like red wine, made the two immediately turn their heads to look.
The next second, Kiana's eyes immediately widened, feeling her yuri dog radar being wildly triggered.
It was a beautiful woman with dignified silver-gray curly hair. She wore an elegant and proper combat suit like an evening gown, with a low-cut back collar. A white wing-like shawl covered her right side, gently concealing her exposed smooth back.
She wore a pair of black and white short boots, making the already voluptuous beauty appear even more noble and radiant, exuding an elegant and dignified aura.
"What's wrong, Kiana? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Y-you're Silver Wing?"
The familiar tone made Kiana realize the identity of this unfamiliar beauty. Mei, beside her, was also astonished, unable to close her mouth.
"Idiot Kiana, based on logical analysis, this is obvious."
Bronya floated over.
Because Stigmata Space is a consciousness space, Bronya and Silver Wing could act simultaneously.
Under normal circumstances, provoked like this by the little runt, Kiana would definitely have talked back and argued with Bronya, but now she completely ignored the little runt.
Her eyes gleaming, she stared at Silver Wing's majestic bosom, almost drooling.
So Silver Wing really is a big sister!
And she's so beautiful!
"What? Surprised to see my true form for the first time?"
In a slightly mischievous tone, Silver Wing smiled and walked in front of Kiana and Mei, looking down at them due to the height difference.
Extending a slender, upturned, pale jade finger from each hand, Silver Wing lifted their delicate chins, then brought her lips close to the space between them.
Facing the increasingly close face, feeling the silver-haired big sister's warm breath like a tickle, their gaze shifted upwards from the snow-white expanse that nearly filled their vision.
Kiana's and Mei's breathing momentarily hitched, their faces flushed like little sisters being teased.
"Hehe~" Silver Wing lightly covered her red lips, letting out a joyful chuckle.
What Kiana 1, Mei 1? With her, all of them are 0!
