Although he said he was going back to his room to write textbooks, Takatsuki had no interest in typing, and he couldn't type much at night anyway.
Because he was busy moving into the new house in the afternoon, he hadn't really studied the system after completing the mission. Now he finally had some free time.
First were the dungeons that were locked because of the main quest, and the new changes after the main quest was completed.
The result was that although the main quest was completed, the dungeons were still locked. However, there was a percentage below the dungeon option, and the percentage had now reached 31%.
"Is this the progress of Honkai Energy absorption?"
Takatsuki didn't forget that the first time he opened a dungeon was because he had absorbed a large amount of Honkai Energy, which even included passively absorbing the Honkai Energy of a Herrscher.
Looking at it this way, the charging speed was quite fast. Takatsuki hadn't been in contact with large amounts of Honkai Energy during this period, nor had he actively absorbed any. He had only passively absorbed the Honkai Energy scattered around, which couldn't compare to a Herrscher's absorption speed.
However, the Honkai Energy content in the air within St. Freya Academy was not much. He just didn't know how long it would take to reach 100%. But by observing the progress tomorrow, he could roughly estimate it.
Temporarily putting aside the dungeon matter, he opened the mission panel. After the main quest was completed, no new quests appeared. Perhaps new quests would appear tomorrow, or it would require a special trigger like before. However, the main quest was triggered in Changkong City in less than a day, so there was no reference value.
After swiping away the mission panel, Takatsuki looked at the character cards he was most looking forward to.
After all, it concerned the growth of his Stand. If possible, he didn't want to go around plundering Disc in his White Snake state, and there were no Stand users in this world, so he didn't know if he could even plunder them.
But if he could create Stigmata to serve as nourishment, it would be much easier. Although it cost some Crystals, Takatsuki believed he could achieve Crystal freedom sooner or later. After all, the main quest hadn't started yet, and having too many character cards wasn't very useful.
"Let's try with King Crimson first."
He didn't know yet if Stigmata converted from ordinary characters would be effective, so Takatsuki first chose a Stand of the same origin. Moreover, Takatsuki wanted his Stand to acquire multiple Stand abilities, and the abilities of other characters might not be compatible with his Stand.
Spending 100 Crystals to convert Diavolo's character card into King Crimson's Stand Stigma, Takatsuki materialized it.
Although Stigmata could only be installed through the system, they could be materialized.
The figure of Heaven's Stairway also appeared beside Takatsuki, picking up the red Stigma from Takatsuki's hand, and then opening its mouth.
"Can this mouth actually open?"
Takatsuki was surprised to see the mechanical-like face open its mouth, and even more surprised to watch Heaven's Stairway simply eat the Stigma, even chewing it a couple of times.
Then, the pattern of King Crimson appeared on the display screen on its forehead.
"It worked!?"
Takatsuki naturally chose to absorb its ability, and he successfully acquired King Crimson's ability. After trying it out, Takatsuki discovered that King Crimson's ability had undergone a certain degree of mutation in Heaven's Stairway.
Takatsuki took out Laplace's paper and looked at the new ability that appeared on it. Although it had cracks, it could still be appraised, truly worthy of being a high-level blessing.
The Epitaph that could foresee the future disappeared, but the time erasure ability evolved. In addition to the normal use of time erasure, it also gained the ability of independent time jump. The reason it was called time jump was because this ability was more unreasonable than time erasure.
Although the range of time erasure was global, and Takatsuki's body would not be affected by the outside world during this period, the movements of other people and objects would not be affected and would continue along their original trajectories.
If an attack launched by someone else during the time erasure process hit, it would still hit. It's just that during this period, everyone was in an unconscious state, only continuing their previous actions. In fact, it was equivalent to everyone losing the memory of those few seconds after their actions ended.
However, the time jump ability was released on a single, separate individual. For example, when facing an attack, it could directly make the attacked person jump several seconds into the future to avoid the attack. And these few seconds, although it just meant putting the other party in the same state as when Takatsuki used time erasure, it actually meant directly arriving in the future several seconds later, and these intermediate few seconds were completely detached from the river of time.
It had its pros and cons.
However, Takatsuki's main focus was not on King Crimson's ability; this was only a test. What he valued was the ability of another Stand.
Looking at another S-rank character card named The President, Takatsuki spent 500 Crystals to convert it into a Stigma.
500 Crystals were enough to draw a new S-rank, but drawing more character cards was meaningless. They were a waste if they couldn't be equipped, but if they could make Heaven's Stairway grow…
After watching Heaven's Stairway consume the D4C Stigma, Takatsuki felt a strange power envelop himself and his Stand.
"This power!"
Takatsuki watched as King Crimson, which originally occupied Heaven's Stairway's forehead, moved to its left shoulder, and the image of D4C appeared on the screen above its head.
Not only that, Takatsuki also felt that all of Heaven's Stairway's abilities had been enhanced, not just its precision and destructive power, but even its range had increased.
And the new abilities became even more complex.
D4C: Can observe adjacent worlds, and by means of a folding action, send people or objects into them, or bring people out of those worlds. This ability can only be used in worlds with a multiverse view. If there are no parallel worlds or adjacent worlds, the ability cannot be activated.
Love Train: Connects you and me with love, can connect two or more people or objects. Connected people can unconditionally and without time difference transfer strength, damage, stamina, and energy.
The abilities changed, and they changed a lot!
Takatsuki had never used the original D4C, so he wasn't clear about the parallel world ability, but the current version…
After activating the ability, Takatsuki clearly saw…
The Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea!
But it was only a fleeting glimpse. Under the protection of the Stand's power, both completely disappeared. The only thing still in his eyes were the dense light points, like stars in the universe, which were the World Bubbles.
"Does dimness mean a World Bubble that is about to disappear?"
Every moment, dim light points completely lost their light, but new light points also appeared.
For the Imaginary Tree, these World Bubbles were merely experiments. World Bubbles that failed the test would quickly be discarded, thoroughly eroded by Honkai Energy after losing the energy supplied by the Imaginary Tree, and then disintegrate.
Without choosing to visit other World Bubbles, Takatsuki deactivated the ability, looking at Heaven's Stairway, which had already acquired four Stand abilities…
"At least this world, I will definitely protect it!"
