The Dimensional Codex of Destruction Chapter 7

As he stepped forward, the room's walls couldn't stop him if he willed it, nor could the floor above become a problem.

During this period of time deletion, he couldn't affect anything, nor could anything affect him.

When the ten-odd seconds of deletion time ended.

Qin Mo was already standing outside his room.

After a brief rest, Qin Mo tossed a coin into the air, which fell directly towards his face.

"King Crimson!"

Looking at the coin, which had slowed down due to time deletion, Qin Mo saw another scene in his eyes.

The coin landed on his face, then bounced off and rolled into the elevator gap.

But in reality...

The coin could no longer affect him, but after passing straight through Qin Mo's body and bouncing a few times on the ground, it coincidentally rolled into the elevator gap.

"Amazing..."

As the experiment concluded, a smile appeared on Qin Mo's face. Even an A-rank was this powerful; he was already looking forward to drawing more S-rank powers with Kiana's help.

However, his immediate priority was to level himself up.

[Malicious BUG detected, updating now. Estimated completion time: ten hours.]

Chapter Eleven: The Advent of Honkai

The next day... no, early morning...

Qin Mo had set a ten-hour countdown alarm, which went off just before 5 AM.

This was also the time when the system update would be completed.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Qin Mo immediately opened his system. An update description popped up the moment he accessed the panel.

[Eliminated the influence of the Child of Destiny on the gacha system.]

[Added the Stigmata System by analyzing the power of the Child of Destiny.]

With just two short descriptions, Qin Mo immediately understood what the BUG was.

Kiana was the protagonist of this world, the Child of Destiny. He just didn't know if her good luck was due to being the Child of Destiny.

He had originally thought he would have to give up the possibility of having others draw for him.

However, Qin Mo felt that such luck must have a certain degree of influence from being the Child of Destiny. It might not be as lucky in the future.

Closing the update description, Qin Mo accessed the newly added Stigmata System.

[Character cards can be converted into Stigmata by spending Crystals.]

[Stigmata are considered equipment and can be given to others to use.]

[Character cards will be modified to a certain extent after being converted into Stigmata.]

This update was huge. Originally, character cards could only be used by himself, and his cost was limited. But after converting them into Stigmata, there were no such restrictions.

However, he was dumbfounded when he saw the amount of Crystals required.

C-rank: 5 Crystals, B-rank: 50 Crystals, A-rank: 100 Crystals, S-rank: 500 Crystals, SS-rank: 1000 Crystals, SSS-rank: 5000 Crystals.

One S-rank Stigmata was enough for him to draw one guaranteed S-rank character.

"Looks like this isn't something I can afford."

Qin Mo was far from having Crystal freedom; he didn't even have enough life-saving measures. Even if the Tiger Tally protected him from death, people would still have countless ways to control him.

However, this was indeed useful. When he had an abundance of Crystals in the future, he could use them to convert character cards he didn't need into Stigmata and give them to others.

To enhance the abilities of those around him, Qin Mo was never one to hoard everything for himself.

In his previous world, he was able to reach his current independent stage from his family background thanks to the help of countless people. Although it might have been just a small gesture for others, it meant a great deal to him.

Therefore, he was willing to give away things he didn't need to those who showed him kindness.

In the following days, although the new character cards changed Qin Mo's combat style, his strength also increased significantly compared to before. His interactions with Kiana and Mei remained unchanged.

Until that day arrived...

"Why are there so many Honkai Beasts today..."

Qin Mo, who was using his Bombardment Space, frowned at the small Honkai Beasts appearing before him.

The number of Honkai Beasts had been increasing noticeably in the past few days, but today it was excessively high. This was the thirteenth one he had encountered.

There was no reward for dealing with these Honkai Beasts, and Qin Mo was reluctant to do free work. However, after thinking about it, he still had Bombardment Space strike the Honkai Beast with its right hand.

Buzz!

The space was instantly cleaved, and the advancing Honkai Beast instantly appeared in front of Qin Mo.

Before it could react, Bombardment Space swung its hand again.

This Honkai Beast was instantly torn apart and killed.

The lethality of the substitute that directly eliminated space was astonishing. Without any defenses, it was basically an instant kill upon first encounter.

After swinging his arms a few times to completely obliterate the Honkai Beasts and scattered Honkai Energy, Qin Mo put away his bombing space and prepared to switch to Ezio to search for any stragglers nearby when a strange fluctuation suddenly swept over him.

"What is this..."

Before Qin Mo could react, a sharp pain suddenly came from his body.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

Purple patterns instantly appeared all over his body, spreading to his face.

"This is... the Great Honkai!"

Originally, someone like Qin Mo, who had no adaptability to Honkai Energy, should have died immediately, turning into ashes without even a corpse.

However, the effect of the Dog Tally allowed him to survive. The Honkai Energy continuously eroded his body, but he just wouldn't die.

Glancing at his equipment slots, Qin Mo put the Tiger Tally in as well.

A balanced power, I hope it can help me.

"Mei..."

The occurrence of the Great Honkai meant the appearance of the Third Herrscher. Qin Mo instantly switched his character card to White Album. White armor appeared on his body, and ice skates for gliding appeared on his feet.

Relying on the power of cold, the pain that continuously came from his body was suppressed a little.

Exhaling a breath of white air, the air around Qin Mo condensed, forming an ice road under his feet.

White Album at full speed... that's faster than a car!

Meanwhile...

Kiana, who had been dozing off in class, felt the outbreak of the Honkai and stood up instantly.

Looking at the classmates around her who either turned into ashes due to insufficient adaptability or were transforming into Death Corps, Kiana grabbed the baseball bat placed next to her schoolbag without a second word and rushed out of the classroom.

On the other hand, Raiden Mei... no, it should be said that the Herrscher of Thunder ignored the surrounding classmates and walked step by step onto the rooftop.

Although she had all of Raiden Mei's memories, she didn't know what she should do. She just followed these memories to a place she was familiar with.

As lightning flashed around, a familiar table and a metal seat cushion appeared before her.

Looking at the two somewhat familiar objects, another bolt of lightning fused them, turning them into a giant steel throne.

"This is a throne befitting me, Queen Raiden."

Stepping onto the steel throne and sitting down, the Herrscher of Thunder gazed out of the rooftop in a daze, as if waiting for something to arrive...

At this moment, Kiana felt a strong Honkai Energy reaction coming from above her head. She quickly rushed to the rooftop and saw the Herrscher of Thunder sitting on the steel throne.

"Mei!"

Looking at the familiar figure, the completely different expression, and the terrifying power fluctuations, Kiana realized that the person in front of her was the greatest enemy in human history, a Herrscher!

"It's you, human."

The Herrscher of Thunder looked at Kiana, who had appeared before her, with apparent disinterest.

"Wake up! Mei!"

Looking at the completely changed Raiden Mei, Kiana raised the baseball bat in her hand: "I will definitely save you, Mei!"

"What noisy insects. If that's the case, then die!"

Seeing Kiana charge at her with the baseball bat, the Herrscher of Thunder unleashed Honkai Energy.

As the core Herrscher of this Honkai, even if she just sat there, the surrounding Honkai Energy would continuously pour into her body.

Celebrate the birth of this Queen Raiden, and offer her resounding thunder.

Chapter 12: A Bouquet for the Herrscher

Kiana Kaslana, a clone with the Gem of Serenity within her, possessed the bloodlines of both the Kaslana and Saniat families.

She had innate divine strength, world-class Honkai Energy adaptability, and the potential of the Herrscher of the Void within her.

However, all she could use now was that of a trained, naturally strong ordinary person.

Although the Herrscher of Thunder opposite her didn't have any particular techniques and was merely attacking Kiana with overwhelming Honkai Energy like throwing bricks, the power of these thrown bricks was enough to decompose Kiana at an atomic level.

"Oh? For an insect, you're quite good."

Seeing Kiana stop her advance and dodge her lightning strikes with agile footwork, the Herrscher of Thunder showed a hint of interest.

"Then let's see this move."

Even though she said that, her attack method was nothing more than continuously striking down lightning created by Honkai Energy.

Kiana hadn't received much training, but she possessed extraordinary intuition and physical fitness. She forcefully broke through the onslaught of lightning like a torrential rain and raised the baseball bat in her hand.

"Mei! I will definitely save you!"

"Save me?"

With a slightly disdainful smile, the Herrscher of Thunder waved her left arm, and a pair of wings made of lightning appeared behind her. Her originally fair arms were covered in faint purple patterns.

With the effect of these wings, the Herrscher of Thunder dodged Kiana's attack and rose into the air.

"With your current state, you worm, you want to touch the body of a god?"

Vast lightning erupted from her body, forcing Kiana below to dodge frantically. The Herrscher of Thunder didn't increase the pressure, merely controlling the speed of the lightning as if toying with her.

She even stopped the lightning attacks when Kiana grew tired.

"How about it, maggot? Even like this, you still say you want to save me?"

However, whether it was the Kaslana family tradition or as a friend, Kiana couldn't give up.

"I... I will..."

Breathing heavily, Kiana was also buying time to recover her stamina while thinking about how to reach the Herrscher of Thunder who had flown into the air.

Pat... pat...

Just then, a slow, unhurried footsteps echoed in the silent corridor.

The two who were fighting simultaneously fell silent, looking at the rooftop door from which the footsteps originated.

"This is a trial..."

Even though no one had appeared yet, a familiar voice reached both of their ears.

It's Qin Mo's voice!?

Both of them recognized it at the same time.

Kiana felt incredibly fortunate because, in her memory, the survival rate for males during the Great Honkai was very low; it was even difficult for them to turn into Honkai Beasts, as their adaptability was too poor.

The Herrscher of Thunder also had a strange feeling, as if she were expecting something...

But she couldn't understand it, as she, having just been born, only possessed Raiden Mei's memories.

"I believe this is a trial to overcome the past..."
