Chapter 128 Suggestions.

The following morning.

Kiana, having had a deep sleep, woke up precisely on time, influenced by her biological clock.

Upon waking, the first thing I felt was the warm and comforting embrace of the Yomi.

Remembrance of last night flooded back, and Kiana, still half-asleep, snuggled into her arms, nuzzling against her affectionately.

Yesterday...

"Are you awake?"

Yomi's voice rang out softly, and the hand placed behind her waist gently massaged it to relieve her soreness.

"Hmm..."

Kiana whimpered, closing her eyes and rubbing her face against Yomi's neck. "Sleep a little longer, Mei ~"

I'm awake, but I really don't want to get out of bed.

"Okay, then I'll sleep a little longer."

There was nothing urgent to deal with, so Yomi thought it wouldn't matter how long he stayed in bed; it was okay to relax occasionally.

Kiana responded, though she was awake, her fatigue hadn't disappeared after a nap, and she was still drowsy.

Yomi had no intention of resting any longer.

What happened yesterday is still vivid in my mind; it's far more memorable than any past Remembrance.

Perhaps because yesterday's Remembrance were too vivid, she actually regained some of the colors she had lost; both her emotions and her vision became warmer.

Perhaps in the future...

Her thoughts began to wander elsewhere, devoid of negative emotions, and she felt as relaxed as if she were soaking in warm water.

Yomi gently stroked Kiana's face with his fingertips, looked at Kiana for a while, and then closed his eyes as well.

Enjoy this hard-won peace.

Oh right... Stigma...

But after closing her eyes for only a short while, Yomi remembered something else: the Stigmata world that Jana and Kiana had talked about yesterday.

Do Stigma inherently possess Stigmata space, or are they formed after the Stigma's owner dies, through a reaction between the Stigma and their will?

Yomi's curiosity stemmed from Kiana's sometimes slightly eccentric behavior. Although she understood that Kiana was absolutely sincere towards her, she still couldn't help but want to know more.

If the Stigmata space existed from the beginning.

Before the host dies and the Stigmata world is formed, what is the state of the Stigmata space?

With this question in mind.

Yomi calmed down and felt grateful to Yae Sakura for bringing her into the Stigmata world, as well as to Jana from yesterday. She now knew exactly how to sense Stigma and enter the Stigmata world.

His mind sank, Yomi in another form, he 'saw' the Stigma that Kiana had given him long ago.

That 'Thunder Soul Imprint'.

In her keen perception, the nodes of the Thunder Soul Imprint became clearer and more numerous, and these nodes constituted the Stigma that possessed numerous abilities.

The more energy you invest...

The Stigma perceived by Yomi, those small nodes, formed a vortex of consciousness with a special rhythmic pattern.

There really is a difference.

Yomi hesitated.

What is her Stigmata world, the Stigma Stigmata space within the Stigma Marks possessed by those who wear them, like?

The Stigma helped her retain many of Izumo's Remembrance, and her Remembrance of Kiana were even preserved in color.

Deep within the Stigma...

What will happen?

Yomi did not act rashly, but stared intently at the vortex that appeared and then slowly disappeared, and everything he perceived returned to calm.

It was as if it had never happened.

Let's discuss it with Kiana first.

That's what she was thinking.

"Mmm, that was a really comfortable sleep!"

After a long while, Kiana, who had taken another nap, stretched and rubbed her eyes as she sat up.

"Are you awake?"

"Uh-huh!"

Kiana hugged him upon hearing this, and said in a spoiled tone, "I'm hungry."

Yomi patted her head helplessly. "Then let's go out to eat."

She used to cook, but that was a long time ago.

Having touched upon nothingness and traveled so far on the path of nothingness, its influence on her has permeated many places.

She won't enter the kitchen unless absolutely necessary.

"The food here is always the same few kinds, I'm tired of it."

I want to eat, but I don't really want to. Belobog was severely affected by the Eternal Freeze, and resources were scarce, so there wasn't much to eat.

Yomi thought for a moment and said, "There's not much point in staying here any longer. Why don't we go look around somewhere else and come back later? I remember Sirin invited you to visit the Ark."

As she said, there was little point in staying here any longer; the situation here was unlike Izumo, and the increase in Honkai energy was very slow.

Although some monsters combining Honkai energy and Voidborne creatures have appeared, perhaps because the concentration of Honkai energy is not yet outrageous, and Kiana has not taken any action on this planet, most of the monsters here have not changed much in terms of structure and ability.

She's gotten almost all the possible compatibility ratings.

Jarilo is no longer that important to her; she's become somewhat of a liability, yet too good to be true.

But to use it and then throw it away is inhumane.

"Those Void Trotter are like bombs."

Kiana felt sullen thinking about it, scratched her hair, and complained, "We've been guarding for so long, and those Void Trotter still haven't revived. It's really..."

Ruan Mei said that she had collected almost all the data she needed to, and this place was no longer of any value to her. She would most likely not come back to the planet Jarilo again in the future.

But Kiana has already changed this place, bringing it into the Honkai's territory, so she can't just leave.

The Honkai of this world is limited. Even if the Honkai energy reaches its maximum limit because of her, it won't become a world-ending disaster like Honkai Impact 2 or Honkai Impact 3rd. This world will most likely only reach the level of an active world.

But the Void Trotter soldiers of the Antimatter Legion are different; those guys are the biggest threat Belobog will face after the Star Core.

Void Trotter are already a formidable enemy, and given the extremely corrosive nature of Honkai energy, these Void Trotter will most likely be infected with Honkai after they revive.

With these two factors combined, it's difficult for Kiana to predict what the final outcome will be.

Although the Honkai has corrupted beings associated with the Aeon, such as the Kishin of Izumo, the Void is fundamentally different from other Aeon.

"That's true."

Yomi knew her worries and pondered for a moment.

The Antimatter Legion is indeed a problem; once those guys revive, there's no one on this planet capable of dealing with those Void Trotter...

She had no objection to staying here; as long as Kiana was by her side, it didn't matter to her where she was.

But Kiana seemed a bit bored, and her relationship with Kiana had just taken a step further and was heating up, so going out for a walk suited her tastes.

"How about... letting your Companion Honkai Beast, Jana, guard this place for you?"

Yomi suddenly made a suggestion.

Kiana, somewhat disappointed and unsure how long she would have to wait for Jarilo, was stunned.

Chapter 129 The Secret of the Stigma.

Should Jana stay here and guard this place?

Kiana admitted to herself that she had shamefully fallen for him.

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

A sliver of conscience made her mutter guiltily to herself, "Jana just found us. Leaving her here alone, she'll be sad, won't she?"

"Sad? Why are you sad?"

Yomi said calmly, "Didn't she dream of helping you and solving your problems?"

Although it was all a misunderstanding, she did have a problem with Jana, and this opinion couldn't be changed in a short time.

Kiana was speechless for a moment.

That being said, it doesn't seem wrong, does it?

Jana wanted to help him, and he did need her help.

By having Jana guard those Void Trotter who could revive at any moment, she successfully helped him, and he was also able to leave temporarily. At Sirin's repeated invitation, he listened to Mei's suggestion to go see Sirin. It was a win-win-win situation!

"Then, should I go and talk to her?"

Kiana was smitten.

But since this was somewhat unethical, she was still a little guilty and felt that Jana was unlikely to agree.

Jana traveled across the world, from Tenhutou Rock to Jarilo, just to find him, only to be told he was leaving as soon as he saw him and even had to make her work.

She'll probably have objections.

"Don't worry about her refusing; she won't refuse your request."

Yomi Road.

Despite his opinions, Yomi had to admit that while Jana was strong, she was also quite easy to deal with.

"Besides, we're just going to the Ark to see Sirin; half a month should be enough time."

"That makes sense!"

Hearing Yomi say that, Kiana felt more confident and sat up, looking eager to try.

"I'll go find Jana and have a talk with her right away!"

"Etc!"

Yomi's eyelids twitched, and with lightning speed, he grabbed Kiana, who wasn't even dressed, and playfully pulled her back down from where she was about to get up.

"Don't rush, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

Yomi struggled to look away from her, suppressing the restless desire in his heart.

"Yes, I'd like to talk to you about Stigma."

"Stigma?"

Kiana frowned, realizing something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "What about the Stigma? Are you referring to the Stigmata world that Jana carries?"

Yomi shook his head and said, "No, it has little to do with that guy."

She kept everyone in suspense, and instead of directly addressing the question in the face of Kiana's curious gaze, she steered the conversation in a different direction.

"After Belobog was able to contact other places, Sirin messaged you every few days, inviting you to visit her, right?"

"Ah?"

Kiana was confused. "What does our conversation have to do with Sirin?"

Yomi is right.
