Chapter 96

When the ownership of the Black Abyss White Flower fell into K422's hands, Otto naturally told her how to use the Divine Key and what kind of power the Sixth Divine Key: Black Abyss White Flower, possessed.

Of course, K422 felt that Otto must have been hiding a lot of his abilities.

At least she didn't feel that the Divine Key Otto mentioned was much stronger than ordinary Honkai Energy weapons.

Moreover, she had seen Theresa use the Divine Grace Barrier, which was the zeroth law of the Eleventh Divine Key, clearly the true power of the Divine Key.

However, Otto did not tell her the true power of the Black Abyss White Flower.

It was only mentioned that the Black Abyss White Flower possesses two special abilities: creation and death.

K422 narrowed her eyes; she wasn't quite sure what the name "power of Creation" meant.

Judging from Otto's performance, K422 clearly noticed something.

"Your Excellency, didn't you learn anything from K422-1's corpse?"

After driving Cocolia away, K422 naturally showed his disgust for Otto.

Now that Cocolia is alone in her room, she naturally doesn't need to worry about her image anymore.

Otto said helplessly, sensing the resentment emanating from K422 almost through the communication screen.

"... I did detect the power of the Herrscher of Death in K422-1's DNA, but this power was very weak, and it was difficult to determine whether it contained any power of Creation."

"Since that's the case, then Your Excellency, I will tell you the truth. I do possess the power of Creation, but this power is very weak. The strongest power I have awakened is still the Ice power, but the power of the Herrscher of the Void is gradually recovering. Yesterday I should have also awakened the power of the Herrscher of Thunder... and today I discovered the power of the Herrscher of Death."

As for whether there are other Herrscher powers within him, K422 himself doesn't know.

Otto, who studied the K422-1 corpse, clearly knew more than she did.

The thought of Otto repeatedly cutting up K422-1's body naturally evoked complex emotions in K422-1.

K422-1 was simply incapable of living; she was flawed from the moment she was created.

The moment they grow, destruction is already inevitable.

The only way to prolong life Honkai Energy; the more Honkai Energy absorbed, the faster the body collapses.

K422 endured the opponent's attacks time and time again with her body, and she also felt the opponent's pain.

By handing K422-1's body over to Otto, Otto's attention will not be focused on True Kiana and K423.

In this way, no one will feel unhappy.

She will remember K422-1 and will always be sad for her. As long as she lives, K422-1 will live on in her heart.

Along with the power of death, the power of Creation of the Herrscher of Death naturally awakens.

However, the power of Creation is weaker than the power of death.

It's obviously because it's just awakened.

Upon hearing K422's reply, Otto was overjoyed.

K422 causes a natural scalp tingling sensation.

At this moment, Otto's gaze was terrifying, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

"My lovely Kiana, you are such a delightful surprise box."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment."

K422 answered with a stern face.

She wasn't surprised at all.

"Please don't do this. I really like you, child, and I'm willing to let you inherit the position of Grand Bishop."

"Hehe."

She increasingly felt that not a single word Otto said could be believed.

"In that case, why don't you become the Acting Grand Bishop starting tomorrow?"

"???"

This time, K422 was truly bewildered.

"Now that you have awakened the power of Creation, then... the value of the Sixth Herrscher has decreased, and I don't think the descending Sixth Herrscher can surpass you. Even I find it hard to imagine how much you will have grown in a few years."

Deadman, Herrscher, Honkai Beast, Holy Blood, and transformations that break the limits of the human body.

Otto certainly couldn't have imagined the growth of the K422.

"You want to know the true secrets of the Valkyrie, and I've granted you access. But my dear Kiana, you must understand that some knowledge is not meant to be shared; that would only cause more chaos. If the Valkyrie weren't created solely by Schicksal, the whole world would be thrown into turmoil..."

Otto offered this friendly reminder, of course.

"..."

K422 fell silent.

In fact, nothing Otto said could be trusted, but he certainly disdained to lie; at most, he would simply omit crucial details.

"Acting Grand Bishop? Are you serious? You don't even know the Valkyrie's true secret..."

It's important to understand that the Valkyrie are the true reason Schicksal has established itself on the international stage.

Once all nations are able to create Valkyrie, they will naturally break free from the protection of the Schicksal, and a new war will break out.

"... I won't tell anyone."

K422 naturally did not want the situation to become chaotic.

She wanted to let True Kiana breathe the air of freedom, definitely not the air of gunpowder and cannon fire, because breathing that kind of air would definitely damage her lungs.

"My lovely Kiana, I am very satisfied with your answer. Grow well, especially cultivate your power of Creation."

After saying that, Otto unilaterally ended the communication.

But it's easy to see that he was in a very good mood.

K422 looked up at the ceiling and then chuckled.

She naturally possesses the power of Creation, and she had already activated it long ago.

Even if an ordinary person breaks through the limits of human physical ability, they probably wouldn't be able to simultaneously contain the power of six Herrscher.

Unless she possesses the Herrscher Core and becomes apostle of Honkai.

K422 naturally does not have Herrscher Core, but possesses holy blood that can erase Honkai Energy, yet it has functions similar to Herrscher Core.

Her body underwent a mutation as a result, and the first thing it activated was the power of Creation.

Even now, the power of Creation is still reshaping her body. It is indeed a change that occurs after the human body breaks through its limits, but it is too advanced and can only be explained by the omnipotent Honkai Energy.

The problem is that she herself is not quite normal.

It's precisely because it's so abnormal that she can break through the limits of the human body, and her body even undergoes abnormal changes, yet it becomes taken for granted.

She does indeed possess the power of Creation.

However, it is completely out of control, at least not yet at the point where it can be controlled.

She figured it would take at least ten years for her body to gradually stabilize.

After all, just as Otto said, her abilities are indeed growing.

The most significant growth, however, was in the manipulation of Honkai Energy.

K422 wanted to say, ' Otto, you're celebrating too soon.'

But now, she feels comfortable with it.

Otto usually deliberately omits sentences or paragraphs, always acting as if he has a well-thought-out plan.

I just don't know if Otto's plan will work this time.

However, Otto did keep his promise and upgraded her privileges again.

Previously, the standard was that of A-rank Valkyrie, but now it has completely become the standard of Acting Grand Bishop.

"Hiss, really?"

K422 I really didn't expect Otto to go this far.

When she accessed the database with the authority of the Acting Grand Bishop, she was immediately stunned by the large number of experimental projects inside. After casually flipping through a few projects, her face darkened.

As Otto always said, no one is innocent.

The Schicksal has so many dark sides.

Meanwhile, K422 also took notice of the secret force.

Yes, the Schicksal does have a Valkyrie unit that acts as "cleaners." This Valkyrie unit specializes in human combat, possesses extensive assassination techniques, and is also adept at various infiltration operations.

A certain maid squad is a lower-level unit of this army.

This "cleaning" unit often selects outstanding individuals from the maid squad.

"So, one's own Honkai Energy resistance really isn't a standard after all..."

After discovering the term "Honkai Antibody" in Cocolia's experimental plan, K422 felt that Schicksal's Valkyrie modification surgery was full of shady dealings.

Before long, K422 discovered the Valkyrie's true secret.

To become Valkyrie, one needs to have artificial Stigmata implanted; this is common knowledge known to all Valkyrie.

However, the artificial Stigmata used by the Valkyrie to control Honkai Energy are actually Honkai Antibody obtained from the bodies of the Kaslana Family and Schariac Family. After years of research, in modern times, 'artificial antibodies' that can be injected into women's bodies have finally been developed.

And the "artificial Stigmata" made from "artificial antibodies".

The "Stigmata" are the legacy left by the Previous Civilization's struggle against the Honkai. At the Previous Civilization's era, humanity's technology had evolved to the point that it could transcribe knowledge into gene fragments and pass it down using genetic material as a carrier.

Modern humans all carry varying degrees of Stigmata gene fragments in their bodies. When these gene fragments reach a certain level of integrity in an individual, that individual will reveal Stigmata.

The "Stigmata" contains a wealth of technology, knowledge, and power far exceeding current science, and will manifest itself directly in the host in the form of abilities that modern science cannot explain.

Each of the "Stigmata" possesses different characteristics and even different abilities.

Without exception, because the technology within the Stigmata is all powered by Honkai Energy, the Stigmata holders are endowed with excellent individual Honkai Energy resistance.

After the Schicksal discovered this characteristic of the "Stigmata", Otto began to work on the artificial Stigmata project. The artificial Stigmata simulated the operation of the "Stigmata" to a certain extent. After being implanted into the Valkyrie through surgery, their Honkai Energy resistance could be greatly improved, but they also had to bear a great physical burden.

However, artificial Stigmata are ultimately just imitations. Current human technology is completely unable to analyze the internal structure of Stigmata; we can only crudely replicate them by simply copying the design.

Therefore, only the ability to enhance Honkai Energy resistance was retained, while other abilities were greatly weakened.

Perhaps only the people of the Previous Civilization have the ability to unleash the true power of the "Stigmata," and the power of the "Stigmata" will also destroy the fakes created by Schicksal and completely shake the rule of the Schicksal. Therefore, after Otto completed the research on artificial Stigmata, he prohibited all research projects related to the "Stigmata" and blocked all information related to Valkyrie.

"..."

103. It's true that your perspective is determined by your position.

Within the Schicksal's database, researchers naturally have higher access levels than Valkyrie.

However, the content that A-rank Valkyrie can access is no less than that of a junior researcher.

However, for such a vast database, the areas that the Valkyrie can access do not overlap with those of researchers.

In order to maintain the rule of the Schicksal, Otto would certainly not reveal to the Valkyrie anything that would affect their morale.

At least what K422 sees now is something that cannot be revealed to the Valkyrie.

Only Otto knew the difference between "Stigmata" and "artificial Stigmata".

After information about Stigmata was blocked, all that everyone knew was that the artificial Stigmata researched by the Schicksal was one of the conditions for becoming Valkyrie. The most important thing was the individual's adaptability. If an individual did not have the adaptability to Honkai Energy, then they could not become Valkyrie.

Yes, some people are indeed born with strong resistance to Honkai Energy.

It is true that some people are born with the ability to manipulate Honkai Energy.

However, they were unaware that such power originated from the "Stigmata," a legacy of Previous Civilization.

If we seriously study the 'Stigmata', perhaps everyone in this world can become a warrior against the Honkai.

However, as Otto said.

This information is not suitable for public release. Once it is released, countries will be able to create their own Valkyrie, which will only trigger a new round of conflict.

Even though the Schicksal consciously suppresses technological development, humanity has still progressed to a level of civilization capable of landing on the moon. When a civilization steps outside its original planet, the resulting Honkai may be even more massive.

However, it is not as easy to contain other countries as it used to be. Even though the Schicksal has recruited a large number of scientists, each country still retains a considerable number of its own scientists.

There are probably quite a few scientists like Cocolia who have noticed the Honkai Antibody; the Acting Grand Bishop's authority has revealed that the secret forces have assassinated many such scientists.
