"Let's get started."
"Yes, to celebrate your return, I have a gift to offer."
The gray serpent held up a giant sword and offered it with both hands.
The once all-consuming flames have vanished from the dim sword, but its shape still evokes memories for the warrior.
Kevin stared at the giant sword.
He once wielded this sword to slay all the demons that threatened humanity and to face divine punishment!
"Old friend, we meet again."
The soldier gripped the hilt of his sword.
It was as if they were holding tightly to their past.
He stared at the dark blade, just as he had done before countless battles in the past.
The giant sword forged from soul steel trembled and awoke, its shape constantly stretching and changing, responding to the warrior's soaring fighting spirit.
It was as if it were not just a sword, but a living thing with a soul.
The flaming sword that guarded Eden, the heavenly fire that burned Sodom... Those fortunate enough to witness this sacred relic have used countless myths to describe its majesty!
Now, a thousand years have passed, and the myth will become reality once again.
"From now on, fight alongside me!"
This command not only resounded throughout the hall, but also struck like a silent thunderclap in the hearts of all the followers in the distance—announcing to them that a storm was about to break.
And staring at the screen!
Kiana's pupils contracted!
Just a moment!
She recognized him immediately...
This giant sword...
The Divine Judgment wielded by Siegfried!
Then...the missing Siegfried...?!
First update of the day! Five thousand words already!

In front of the screen.
It's not just Kiana!
The people in the chat group were even more apprehensive about the World Serpent!
on the screen.
In order to retrieve K423, which is Kiana.
Destiny dispatched Rita and a troop to Sky City, where K423 had recently been spotted.
The search operation was conducted under the pretext of cooperating with Shencheng Pharmaceuticals.
But soon.
Within Sky City.
Rita successfully tracked down Kiana (K423).
But another discovery in Sky City shocked Rita even more!
In front of Rita was a syringe containing a medicine that Kiana had given her.
It was the unified system of destiny that she was familiar with.
The data card, bearing the logo of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, is clearly a key used to open certain doors and gates.
then.
Rita was forced to take her subordinate, Alvitt's, communications seriously!
“Miss Rita, I have checked the syringe requirements, and it is indeed one of the vaccines that Destiny provided to Divine City Medicine.”
"However, the injectable solution inside was replaced, or rather, modified."
"Based on the vaccine formula provided by Destiny, it has been modified into an activator that can significantly enhance the human body's resistance to Honkai energy."
"Although it is not harmful to the body in terms of its medicinal effects, I saw glowing patterns on the bodies of those suicide soldiers during today's operation."
"Looking back now, those glowing marks must have been holy marks."
Even Rita was more serious than ever when faced with Arvit's report.
"Stigmata? Alvit, do you know what you're saying?"
"I...I absolutely cannot be mistaken! I absolutely cannot make a mistake in this matter!"
"If you're right, then what happened in Sky City is more complicated than we imagined."
Rita frowned in thought.
"Stigmata are a technology that only Valkyries of Destiny can be equipped with. Their appearance on ordinary assassins can only mean two things—either someone has turned Valkyries into assassins, or someone is conducting experiments on ordinary people to implant Stigmata. Either way..."
Suddenly!
Even everyone watching on the screen!
With this almost blatant hint!
He suddenly remembered the World Serpent's plan!
Project Stigmata?!
Someone is conducting experiments implanting Stigmata into ordinary people!!
Isn't this exactly the Stigmata Project?!
I never expected... that World Serpent had already started its plan?!
But we won't wait for discussion.
Rita's subsequent discovery at the pharmaceutical factory shocked everyone!
“Since the second Honkai Impact 3rd, this company has offered to provide moral assistance to cities around the world affected by the Honkai.”
"The construction of this industrial zone began around that time."
"On the surface, it's about providing free clinical treatment for patients with severe Honkai energy."
"But... things that are free often come at a higher price, sometimes even at the cost of one's life!"
"The drug analysis report for HBA-022... Isn't this the same vaccine model that's been shipped from headquarters to Shenzhou all this time?!"
"Even the nearly 30,000 vaccines that were transported this time have all disappeared completely?"
"There must be many more untold secrets hidden here..."
Rita ventured deeper and deeper into the pharmaceutical factory.
Everyone watching on the screen held their breath.
Even though I was mentally prepared.
When the scene deep underground in the factory was revealed to everyone.
Including Rita!
Countless extraordinary individuals also gasped in astonishment!
What was presented to them!
They were experimental chambers lined up one after another!
The experimental subject suspended within it was both familiar and strange to Rita.
Suicide squad.
On the skin of these zombies that Rita had fought countless times, fine lines intertwined, drawing out glowing marks!
Stigmata.
Until Destiny developed artificial stigmata, in the long history of mankind, only a very few people chosen by fate would show this special mark.
Rita clenched her teeth, staring at the faces in the container.
She breathed a sigh of relief when no one she knew was there, but instead, a stronger surge of anger rose in her veins.
These experimental subjects varied in height, size, and age!
Some of them have Honkai Beast tissue implanted in their bodies, and their bodies are covered with a white silicon-based shell!
Some had parts of their bodies removed and replaced with electronic prosthetics.
This place is like a bizarre human museum! It shows intruders just how far the human body can be modified!
Rita realized that she had reached the source of the secret.
When Rita connected to the main control computer, she entered the terminal.
In an instant, countless documents rushed past Rita's eyepiece, and amidst the swirling documents, she spotted the one she was looking for.
The Stigmata are not a product of natural evolution, but rather a marvel of pre-civilizational biotechnology. Many mysteries surrounding their principles and operation remain unsolved to this day.
Before the demise of their previous civilization, they inoculated a complex genome of Honkai antibodies into the embryos of a small number of their descendants.
These genomes will form marks on the human body surface; these are called stigmata.
[Humans with shoelace stigmata possess greater resistance to and control over Honkai energy, thus exhibiting various incredible powers.]
Unfortunately, with the inheritance of human genes, they constantly mutated and exchanged. The originally complete Stigmata genome eventually became fragmented.
Therefore, although every modern human carries the Stigmata gene, only a handful of people can naturally express the Stigmata.
Inspired by the omniscient and omnipotent serpent, our research has made leaps and bounds.
Now we know how to activate and recombine latent stigmata fragments in the human genome through artificial intervention, enabling their full expression.
This process is extremely difficult. Those who cannot endure it will die, or even become zombies.
But those who survive will possess the power to live through the collapse.
The cost was extremely high, but it was well worth it.
The activation progress is still slow and far from the expected number. We plan to conduct an experiment in a densely populated city.
!!!
A moment!
The chat group erupted in an uproar!
[March 7: As expected... it really is World Serpent's Stigmata Project!!]
[Himeko Hoshitetsu: Damn it... This is utterly inhuman!]
[Tesla: Damn World Serpent!! This is inhuman human experimentation! This is harming humanity!!]
[Tesla: And are they crazy?! To experiment with the entire population of a city?!]
[Einstein: We must stop them! No, we must destroy their organization!]
[Theresa: Agreed! In the fight against such an inhumane organization, Destiny will stand on the same side as Anti-Entropy!]
[Ningguang: Purge this kind of organization!]
[Furina: What's the difference between this behavior and Honkai?]
[Bai Lu: Looks like Kevin isn't a good person either!!]
[Raiden Mei: It's rare to see Dr. Ein so angry...]
Kiana: The heinous and cruel things these World Serpent organizations have done are even more despicable than the Honkai!
[Hu Tao: This is outrageous... They just take lives so casually!]
[Ruan Mei: If it's not to explore the essence of life, then such experiments are a waste of resources.]
