A Special Honkai Crystal / The Stigma World

The fact that someone kept trying to break into Izumo left a deep impression on Jana.

Kiana's composure vanished.

"Are you telling the truth? You've seen a human who tried to break into Izumo Thirty-Two? What did she look like? Where is she now?"

He has such a deep obsession with Izumo.

The thirty-two times that Jana mentioned is the best proof, and that's just the number of times in the past year or so.

Before Jana was born, she may have tried many more times. This person was undoubtedly Raiden Mei, and it could only be her.

Only she would do that.

She's still alive!

Kiana felt a mix of excitement, joy, guilt, and longing for Mei.

Jana didn't understand why she was so agitated.

"I remember her; she was a very small human, but quite powerful. But I will not allow any human to defile your territory!"

Kiana was taken aback, then anxiously asked, "You guys started fighting?"

"She's just a tiny human being; she doesn't even have the ability to get close to me."

It's good that a fight didn't break out.

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief, realizing she had overreacted. If a real fight had broken out, how could Izumo still be here unharmed?

"This isn't my territory."

Kiana smiled bitterly. This was Mei and the others' hometown, their world. Jana's words were a complete reversal of the truth.

"It is the homeland of humanity that you speak of; this is her homeland, her world."

Jana looked puzzled and said, "She does indeed have traces of Honkai energy on her body, but this place belongs to Honkai, and you are Honkai."

Kiana shook her head, not bothering to explain further, and continued, "So where is that human now?"

She was more curious about this.

Having confirmed that Mei is still alive, the next step is to find Mei and reunite with her.

"I don't know."

She only awakens when a human attempts to enter this world, deliberately making things more difficult for them.

After successfully stopping him, what that human would do or where he would go was not something she was curious about.

That's not Kiana.

Moreover, she needs to stay here and wait for Kiana's return. Before Kiana returns, she cannot allow any ignorant people to enter this world.

"Do you remember when the last time she came was?"

Jana thought for a moment and said, "Two."

"Two?"

"If she had come all along, she would have come thirty-four times by now, but she only came thirty-two times. There were two periods when she missed coming."

By taking an average, Jana arrived at the answer Kiana wanted: she had indeed not seen that human for some time.

"They might have given up."

"He didn't come..."

So, Mei must have left Tenhutou Rock and gone to another world?

Kiana pursed her lips and sighed.

Despite trying to convince myself that news was good, the disappointment and regret of not being able to see Mei was still overwhelming.

"You're looking for her?"

"Yes, that's me..."

Kiana was about to say that she came here specifically for her, but when she looked up and met Jana's eyes, she swallowed her words and changed the subject. "I really want to find her. She's my most important friend."

Most important?

A relationship even closer than oneself?

Jana felt annoyed instantly. Not only did she not feel any goodwill towards Kiana for saying that the other person was an important friend, she also felt a little resentful.

Kiana is the Herrscher of Finality, and she is Planet-class Honkai Beast, referring to her current Companion Honkai Beast.

They should be the ones with the best relationship.

"I'll keep an eye on her for you."

"Thanks."

Kiana politely thanked her, assuming that Jana would leave with her, so she didn't take Jana's words to heart.

They found news of Mei, a loyal and incredibly powerful friend, and even saw what Izumo looks like now.

Kiana has achieved her goal for this trip.

I looked up at the sky. There was no signal here. The signal was affected by the void and the power of Honkai, so I couldn't contact the Nightingale at all.

She had confirmed this with the Nightingale on the spaceship before she set off for Izumo.

It's time to go back.

She thought for a moment and said to Jana, "I'm leaving. Do you want to come with me?"

Jana froze. "You're leaving?"

Kiana nodded, pointed to the sky, and said, "I came with a friend. If I were alone, I would probably stay here a little longer, but my friend is still waiting for me up there, and I don't want her to worry too much."

"I want to be with you!"

Seeing that she was really going to leave, Jana reacted anxiously. She stayed here because the environment was not bad, and also to wait for Kiana.

Kiana has arrived, but she's leaving.

As someone who exists because of Kiana, she naturally has to stay close to Kiana, protect Kiana, and prevent those insignificant creatures from offending Kiana.

Kiana had anticipated her decision and smiled, "Then let's get ready and leave."

Get ready...

Kiana suddenly paused, remembering something she hadn't paid much attention to. She swallowed hard and looked down at the spot where she was standing.

"Can you transform into human form?"

"Humanoid?"

Jana looked down at her current appearance, then followed Kiana's gaze to her original form.

"Yes, it's about transforming into a human."

Thinking of her enormous size, Kiana continued, "You're too big."

Jana has never thought about this question since her birth. She likes her original form very much and has never thought about becoming human.

"I won't."

Kiana's expression froze, and she stammered, "Then, what about shrinking? Can I shrink down to only my current size?"

"But I've already shrunk."

Kiana asked, puzzled, "Huh?"

Jana said seriously, "What I look like outside is what I look like after I've shrunk."

Kiana: "..."

Just how big is this Planet-class Honkai Beast?!

This size, almost the size of a continent, is actually a manifestation of her shrunk down. Could she really be as big as a planet?!

She forgot that she was in Izumo what the environment was like there now.

It was because of the birth of the Planet-class Honkai Beast that most of the Honkai energy that assimilated the power of nothingness was supplied to her, which is why she is still able to walk on this planet and maintain her sanity.

"Um, why don't you just stay here?"

Kiana's expression was strange, and she forgot about her earlier promise to take her with her, "I suddenly remembered that I won't actually stay out there for long. I'll come back as soon as I've finished what I need to do."

Jana: "..."

She's not stupid; how could she not understand why Kiana had changed her tune?

My mood suddenly plummeted.

"You're the only person I can trust and rely on here. I just realized that someone needs to stay home and keep an eye on things."

Seeing her reaction, Kiana quickly added more comforting words to try and make her feel better, "Otherwise, if our base is raided, it will be a huge problem."

Is trust based solely on me?

Jana's mood brightened because of a single sentence, regardless of whether Kiana meant to comfort her.

"I will protect this place for you and will not let anyone disturb this world!"

"Ahem, you don't need to use such a polite form of address with me."

He addressed her with such formality, making her sound old.

Thinking this, Kiana discovered another blind spot. She looked at Jana suspiciously. "Jana, how did you know to talk like that? Are these things engraved in the Honkai's DNA?"

Is Jana Honkai Beast?

It's not one of those mythical beasts with bloodline inheritance like in fantasy novels, right?

So why is it that Jana, who has never seen a human, can communicate with her without any problems and understand her perfectly well, but why does she seem to know everything like a normal person?

Something doesn't seem right!

"You... no."

Jana frowned, her speech slowing down again, and changed her words, saying, "I haven't seen any other living humans, but I've gleaned a lot about humanity from some interesting things."

"What is it?"

As she asked the question, she and Jana left the mental space one after the other, Kiana's consciousness returned to the outside world from the somewhat dark mental space.

While she was puzzled, Jana, the humanoid form that appeared in her mind's eye due to her imagination, reappeared beside her.

But reality is just an intangible projection.

Her consciousness controlled a Honkai energy crystal to float in front of the projection and pushed it toward Kiana.

She didn't open her mouth, but her voice still came through. "These little things contain a wealth of information."

Is there a lot of information inside the Honkai Crystal?

Kiana took the purple crystal that Jana pushed towards her with a puzzled look. She examined it, felt it, and then her eyes widened. She saw something utterly unbelievable, and her face showed shock. "This, how is this possible..."

The information she gleaned was so astonishing that her hands trembled as she held the crystal. Looking at the small purple crystal in her hand, her mind almost went blank.

How is that possible?

How is this possible?!

[Honkai energy crystal (Special): A special Honkai Crystal containing the complete power of Stigma, which can be used as a fusion material.]

Note: Its genetic information is completely preserved, and it can be used as a medium to thaw and revive the information hidden within.

Regarding the Honkai Crystal in his possession, the system provided its origin.

The system's explanation confirmed Kiana's guess. She was lost in thought, feeling everything she sensed from the crystal in her hand.
