"Shhhhhh..."

Elysia whistled silently, looked up at the sky, pretended to be silly and cute, as if it were none of her business.

Ling Xi "..."

"Elysia, you ran away again..."

Sakura looked at Elysia speechlessly; this girl was always thinking of causing trouble.

"Elysia, can't you learn from Sakura? Look how well-behaved Sakura is."

Mobius also made a comment, and then said, "Sakura, you should also get tested. I need to conduct a simple control experiment."

"Huh? Uh..."

Sakura paused for a moment, then shrugged and said casually, "I guess I don't need to get tested. It'll be the same as yesterday, 615 HW. And... the blood test really hurts!"

"Um?"

Mobius immediately sensed something was wrong. He remembered that when he had Sakura take the test a week ago, Sakura seemed to have said the same thing.

"It's okay, Sakura, it'll be over in a second..."

Mobius, smiling, led Sakura by the hand to the testing chamber, then simply pushed her forward, saying, "Lie down..."

"Huh?"

Sakura was momentarily stunned; how could she have...?

Half a minute later, Mobius looked at Sakura's stats, his expression growing increasingly strange, because...

"Hehe... Sakura, you're pretty amazing. You've reached 620HW, even more impressive Elysia."

Mobius glared at Sakura, annoyed. He had just said that this girl was honest, but... he never expected that Sakura would have done it even more Elysia.

"Pfft... Hehe, as expected of you, Sakura."

Elysia, laughing wildly, looked at Sakura beside her and said, "By the way, when did you do that? Why didn't I find any evidence?"

"Well..."

Sakura touched her nose, looked away slightly, and said softly, "Um... when I took a shower... I forgot to bring a change of clothes, so... well, of course, it's definitely not my fault."

Ling Xi "..."

"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that."

Mobius interrupted Sakura's excuses and looked at Elysia, saying, "Elysia, I will perform the Stigmata implantation on you immediately. If you feel any discomfort or unusual sensations during the process, please let me know."

"OK, got it!"

Elysia readily agreed, after all, this was an experiment concerning her own life, and she cared about it even more than Mobius, okay?

"Then, let's prepare to begin the experiment..."

Mobius raised his voice and shouted, "Klein!"

"Doctor, I'm here."

Klein immediately walked in from outside and said, "The operating room is ready and we can start the surgery at any time."

"Okay, let's go..."

Mobius glanced at the group and then headed to the operating room. Although it was just an injection of the Stigmata Gene and not much of a surgery, the operating room was fully equipped so that Elysia could be treated immediately should any unexpected situation arise.

Of course, Mobius didn't think anything unexpected would happen. After all, if this thing could potentially harm Elysia, Ling Xi would definitely not let Elysia use it.

A moment later, in the operating room, Elysia sat in a specially made chair, her body fixed in place and connected to several sensors that also connected to a computer, which could fully reflect Elysia's real-time status.

Then, Mobius took out the pink Stigmata Gene and handed it to Ling Xi, saying with a smile, "Well, since you gave it to Elysia, you should do the implantation."

"Um."

Ling Xi naturally did not refuse. She took the Stigmata Gene from Mobius, and the data of the Stigmata Gene immediately appeared in her mind.

[Elysia's Stigmata Gene: Usable by Ling Xi and Elysia, a single-use product. After injection, it forms Elysia's natural Stigmata, covering any previously or future implanted Stigmata. It possesses the basic ability of Stigmata Space and storage consciousness; more specific abilities depend on the user!]

It's confirmed, this is Elysia's Stigmata. Although both Elysia's and Sakura's Stigmata are pink, there's still a slight difference, which is...

Sakura's is slightly pinker Elysia's, while Elysia's Stigmata is pink with a hint of black, I guess...

This is proof that Elysia slightly cunning.

Besides, even if Elysia and Sakura's pink are exactly the same, Ling Xi can tell who's who just by touching them. After all, once Ling Xi touches the Stigmata Gene, he can instantly obtain the Stigmata Gene data, so...

Even if Elysia and Sakura are both wearing masks, there's no way I could mistake them.

"Elysia, this syringe is a bit big, please bear with it."

After the Stigmata Gene was activated, Ling Xi opened it directly, revealing the tip of the syringe needle.

"Hehe."

Elysia scoffed and said, "I didn't even cry out when a thicker needle pricked me, so what's a single needle?"

Ling Xi: "..." Uh, did an infantry fighting vehicle just run over us?

Forget about the details!

Ling Xi walked to Elysia's side, then used her left hand to lift a strand of pink hair on the right side of Elysia's neck, revealing her smooth, pink skin, and said, "Elysia, just bear with it a little longer..."

Then, Ling Xi gently inserted the Stigmata Gene Injector into Elysia's neck skin, and slowly implanted all the Stigmata Gene into Elysia's body...

"Ugh..."

At this moment, Elysia couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Ling Xi, who was very familiar with Elysia's cries, immediately understood that Elysia was in pain, not in pleasure.

Fortunately, there weren't many carriers of the Stigmata Gene, and Ling Xi injected it completely into Elysia's body in about fifteen seconds.

"Ugh..."

After the Stigmata Gene injection was completed, Elysia let out a painful sound. She felt... her body, her body felt like it was burning.

"Ahhh..."

Accompanied by Elysia's painful cries, her body uncontrollably released powerful Honkai Energy!

Chapter 300: Stigmata Gene, Fusion!

"Aaaaaah..."

Elysia let out a painful cry, and her body uncontrollably released a powerful Honkai Energy shock!

"Klein!"

Ling Xi grabbed Klein's arm and pulled her behind him, snapping his fingers at the same time!

"Space!"

Ling Xi decisively activated his spatial power, creating an isolated space around Elysia to prevent Honkai Energy from leaking out!

After all, if this 600HW Honkai Energy were fully released, he and Sakura would definitely be fine, and the Doctor might also be fine, but Klein definitely be doomed, since that girl's Honkai Energy Adaptability is in the single digits!

Therefore, Ling Xi immediately pulled Klein to the back to prevent her from being affected...

"Thanks..."

Klein was also startled, and at the same time very grateful to Ling Xi, because he almost... died in the line of duty.

"Feel sorry..."

Mobius also silently apologized. She never expected this situation to occur. Fortunately, Ling Xi was there, otherwise the consequences would probably have been very serious!

On the other side, Elysia was still making sounds of discomfort, but she was gradually calming down, and at the same time...

"Doctor, Elysia's Honkai Energy Adaptability is increasing!"

Klein has been closely monitoring the data, also issued a report, saying, "It's already over 700 HW, no... it's reached 800, wait..."

In just one minute, Elysia's Honkai Energy Adaptability soared to 1000. At the same time, a dazzling red light emanated from Elysia's chest. If you looked closely, you could clearly see that it was a complete petal-shaped Stigmata mark!

Although Artificial Stigmata Stigmata are generally located on the back, however...

Natural Stigmata can appear anywhere – on the chest, neck, shoulders, legs, or even the lower abdomen!

Although the Stigmata Gene that Ling Xi gave to Elysia was artificially implanted, it had the same effect as a natural Stigmata, therefore...

It's not surprising that Stigmata marks appear on the chest!

"Elysia, how are you?"

Seeing that Elysia had calmed down, Ling Xi immediately asked her with great concern.

"Phew... It's nothing, it's just a feeling..."

Elysia looked down at the red light on her chest and deliberately laughed, "My chest feels a little itchy, Ling Xi, why don't you scratch it for me?"

Ling Xi "..."

"It seems you are indeed alright."

Ling Xi certainly wouldn't disturb Elysia at this time, and said, "Elysia, your body is currently fusing and absorbing the Stigmata Gene, so you'll feel some strange sensations. However, once the Stigmata Gene have fully fused, these sensations will disappear."

"Okay, I understand..."

Elysia silently closed her eyes, quietly sensing the changes in her body. Although she might not feel many sensations, she could definitely feel her body, her Honkai Energy Adaptability, and her ability to perceive the Honkai Energy around her constantly increasing...

At this moment, Elysia's body stopped releasing Honkai Energy, so Ling Xi also deactivated the spatial power, allowing Mobius and Klein to step forward to record and observe Elysia's condition.

The process of fusion of the Stigmata Gene lasted for a full five minutes, and everyone witnessed Elysia's Honkai Energy Adaptability soar from 600 to 1000, and then rapidly increased to 1200. The growth rate was relatively slow after that, but it still stopped completely when it reached 1360 HW.

"Whoosh..."

Finally, the Stigmata Gene fusion was complete, and the Stigmata mark on Elysia's chest stopped emitting red light and gradually faded away over time...

"1360HW, Stigmata Gene..."

Mobius smiled with some emotion, "The Stigmata Gene has increased your Honkai Energy Adaptability by a total of 760 HW."

"Hehe... it should be 757HW!"

Elysia smiled and corrected some of Mobius's data, after all, she had taken a hit last night, so those 3 points of Honkai Energy Adaptability couldn't be ignored.

"Don't worry about the details."

Mobius smiled, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Indeed, the fully-formed Stigmata Gene... is truly powerful!"

If Mobius previously only had a vague concept of the power of the Stigmata Gene, then now... this is a real case. Just by injecting a perfect Stigmata Gene, Elysia's Honkai Energy Adaptability increased by nearly 800 HW, which is even more powerful than the most successful Fused Warrior he created!

Of course, Ling Xi must be excluded here, since Ling Xi is no longer within the Three Realms and has transcended the Five Elements.

However, this is enough to show how powerful the Stigmata Gene is; it is truly invincible!

More importantly, the perfect Stigmata Gene, apart from a little pain, is almost... no, it really poses absolutely no danger. The Stigmata Gene was fused in just five minutes, which is much faster than the Fused Warrior technology that I have developed myself.

It took Ling Xi nearly a week to fuse with Sasha Gene, and the fastest Fused Warrior in her first experiment took three days to successfully fuse, during which time they had to endure indescribable pain. Moreover, 90% of the volunteers who activated the Hypervariable Factor died during this period.

They either couldn't withstand the power of the Hypervariable Factor, causing it to devour normal Hypervariable Factor and ultimately leading to physical mutation and death, or their minds couldn't bear the pain and they died directly. In short...

Compared to the perfect Stigmata Gene, the current Hypervariable Factor is a product that is five hundred years behind!

"Ling Xi, I..."

At this moment, Elysia frowned slightly, gently resting her right hand on her head, and said, "I feel like... I seem to have gained some extra memories in my brain... no... it should be, knowledge or something, it seems..."

"It seems to be knowledge related to skills and combat?"

At this moment, Elysia also realized that she had gained an extra part of her memories, but strictly speaking, it was not really a memory. It was more like... in game terms, it was like using a skill book. She suddenly had several more skills and knew the power of the skills and how to use them!

"This must be the inherited power within the Stigmata Gene..."

Mobius's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help but laugh, "So that's what that part of the gene sequence means! The Stigmata... it's not just about increasing Honkai Energy Adaptability; it can also directly grant the user full combat power!"

At this moment, Mobius was overjoyed because... the effect of this inheritance was in no way inferior to increasing Honkai Energy Adaptability; in other words...

The inherited ability of the Stigmata Gene can transform someone who has received absolutely no military training into a battle-hardened super soldier, and at the same time...

This also means that in the future... if humanity can fully master the knowledge and power of the Stigmata, then every human being in the future can become a battle-hardened super warrior. This is...

Besides increasing Honkai Energy Adaptability, this is the second major function of the Stigmata!

Chapter 301: The Holy Mark Warrior Alicia!

At this moment, Mobius found that his insistence on the Hypervariable Factor seemed to be wavering. There was no way around it; the complete Stigmata Gene could truly be said to completely overwhelm the Hypervariable Factor in every aspect, although...
