Chapter 219 Origin of the Sacred Mark
250,000 years ago, an accident during an experiment led to the young Raiden Mei inheriting her father Raiden Ryoma's Super Densha Company.
No one knows how the accident happened. All that is known is that only Raiden Mei walked out of the laboratory that day, while Raiden Ryoma died on the lab table.
Some say that Raiden Mei, dissatisfied with Raiden Ryoma's decisions, used him as a test subject, and under the guise of experimentation, she killed her father in order to inherit Super Densha.
Some say that the experiment was just a simple accident, a forbidden experiment that Raiden Ryoma secretly conducted behind everyone's back.
Ultimately, the experiment failed due to a lack of crucial data, and he himself died on the experimental table.
The truth is that Raiden Ryoma wanted to escape his deteriorating body by transferring his consciousness.
As for why it was her own daughter's body, it was because Raiden Mei was only sixteen years old at the time, in the prime of her youth.
Moreover, she demonstrated extraordinary intelligence, making her a true genius.
Therefore, he tricked Raiden Mei into coming to the laboratory, intending to use her body to achieve rebirth.
What Raiden Ryoma didn't expect was that Raiden Mei had already seen through his plan and even mastered all the theoretical knowledge related to consciousness transfer without his knowledge.
Furthermore, he had secretly modified the consciousness transfer device before Raiden Ryoma carried out his plan.
The original concept of consciousness overlay has been changed to consciousness fusion.
Or rather, it's a fusion led by Raiden Mei's consciousness, and the content of the fusion is the knowledge within Raiden Ryoma's mind.
As for his memories, Raiden Mei wasn't interested, so those were discarded.
And so, amidst Raiden Ryoma's disbelief, he completely disappeared from this world, while Raiden Mei was reborn.
Relying on the knowledge within Raiden Ryoma's brain, Raiden Mei quickly mastered everything about Super Densha.
Perhaps due to the side effects of consciousness fusion, Raiden Mei became unusually cold-blooded after that.
She would use anything around her without any mercy, as long as it was necessary for the experiment.
This is why the researchers at Super Electric Club chose to flee because they were afraid of Raiden Mei, until an incredible girl applied for a job as a research assistant at Super Electric Club.
Her name is Kiana, and despite knowing nothing, she insists on participating in a series of dangerous experiments.
Even though Kiana is clumsy and often breaks various experimental equipment, and even misremembers crucial experimental data, Raiden Mei still did not choose to fire her.
Raiden Mei did this because Kiana's Honkai energy resistance far exceeded that of ordinary people, or rather, it surpassed the sum of the entire human race, reaching an astonishing 100%.
Raiden Mei wants to figure out exactly what caused Kiana to appear as such an anomaly.
As time went by, Kiana's warm and optimistic personality eventually influenced Raiden Mei, making her less cold-blooded.
At least in terms of treating people, they are no longer so cold-blooded, and because of this, the number of people in the Super Electric Club has started to increase.
This situation continued until Raiden Mei secretly created a Stigmata Terminal.
No matter what materials were used, they couldn't achieve the effect Raiden Mei wanted, so she turned her attention to Kiana.
Now, Raiden Mei finally understands the meaning of the existence of Kiana.
Isn't her 100% Honkai energy resistance the perfect material she's been craving for to create the Stigmata Terminal?
The next day, Raiden Mei announced that Kiana had been fired because she could no longer tolerate Kiana's careless behavior.
It's fair to say that this outcome was predictable to everyone else, but no one expected Raiden Mei to be able to endure it for so long.
But what no one expected was that Kiana, who was ostensibly dismissed, had actually been working within Super Electric Company all along.
In the end, Raiden Mei still sent Kiana to the experimental table herself for her own selfish desires.
The final result was gratifying; the Stigmata Terminal was successfully manufactured.
For reasons unknown, Raiden Mei ultimately granted Kiana the same level of access as herself within the Stigmata Terminal.
However, since Kiana is already dead, it will be possible to use her privileges only in the next cycle of civilizations.
However, since I haven't prepared the corresponding Stigmata for her, it's probably impossible for me to find out about the existence of the Stigmata Terminal.
And this is the origin of the Stigmata Terminal.
"So you actually created it using Kiana's remains from the Zero Era?"
After listening to Alaya-vijnana's explanation, the captain slowly stated his conjecture, and the latter nodded in affirmation.
"Although Dr. Mei did not design a Stigmata specifically for Kiana, I still gave Kiana a Stigmata in accordance with her last instructions."
"The final instructions?"
Alaya-vijnana nodded and said, "After all, if civilization is destroyed by the end, I will accelerate the emergence of civilization after the end starts the cycle of reincarnation. For this reason, Dr. Mei designed a list for me. That list is the list of people that Dr. Mei thinks are useful in fighting the Honkai. For this reason, the power of the Stigmata is needed for reincarnation. I don't know why Kiana is also on that list."
Kevin asked, puzzled, "What about me? What about me? Kiana doesn't exist in my civilization."
“Because you are Kiana,” Alaya-vijnana said. “Or rather, I deliberately created Kiana by adjusting her genetic sequence on a whim. It turns out that setting Kiana as male was half a success, but I never expected that even after growing into the strongest warrior, she still couldn’t defeat the End.”
"What about Mei? What was her purpose in coming here in the first place?"
Ignoring the captain's strange look, Kevin forced himself to remain calm and asked Alaya-vijnana.
"As I said before, the essence of the Stigmata is to reincarnate the consciousness of the people from the Zero Era, as you call them, into their bodies in the future. Mei is the reincarnation of Dr. Mei. The reason she is here is because the Stigmata Terminal is needed to complete the final reincarnation. However, she can be considered both a success and a failure."
"What do you mean?"
"Because she ultimately rejected the Stigmata, according to the principles of how the Stigmata works, Mei's consciousness, which arrived here, should have been completely covered by Dr. Mei's consciousness, but for some reason, Mei did not. She also became the first Raiden Mei in 250,000 years to reject the Stigmata."
"But the price is that the Honkai energy resistance brought by her Stigmata will disappear, and she will probably spend the rest of her life fighting against Honkai energy erosion."
"..."
Kevin and the captain fell silent, because they both knew that May's final fate was to die from overwork and Honkai energy corruption.
Kevin didn't even get to see May one last time. When he rushed back from the moon, only his best friend Sue told him the devastating news with a sorrowful expression.
"So I've told you everything you wanted to know. Kevin, even though your Stigmata has been altered, I can still help you awaken your original Stigmata. Don't worry, because Kiana's Stigmata were designed after her death, there is no consciousness of the Zero Era within her Stigmata."
"But you didn't say that there are no other Kiana's consciousnesses within the Stigmata."
"Don't worry, just as Dr. Mei predicted, because Kiana's Stigmata is quite special, no Kiana has come here to complete the awakening until now. Kevin, you are the first."
“Forget it, I don’t need that power,” Kevin refused. “More than that, we want to know how to stop the awakening of the Stigmata.”
"?"
Alaya consciousness first looked at the two people in front of it with a puzzled expression, and then realized why they asked the question.
"Are you trying to prevent Dr. Mei's Stigmata from awakening? That makes sense. That place was activated a while ago. If you think about it carefully, only Dr. Mei has the authority to do so. Therefore, the Raiden Mei of this civilization should have already awakened her Stigmata."
"So, the way to prevent the Stigmata from fully awakening is?"
"It's simple. As a Stigmata Terminal, I can do it. However, Dr. Mei's authority is extremely high, and I have no way to disobey her orders. The key to Raiden Mei, who wanted to change this era of civilization, being possessed by Dr. Mei might lie with you, Kevin."
"You mean you want Mei to be brought here while she's unconscious, so I can give you orders?"
“Yes.” Alaya-vijnana nodded. “Because you are a variant of Kiana, a product that even Dr. Mei could not have imagined. If it were you, perhaps this tragic cycle could be ended.”
"I understand, I will do it."
“Then I will wait for you to bring Dr. Mei here, but Kevin, I have a question to ask.” Alaya-vijnana asked curiously.
"You said."
"I can sense through the remaining connection of the Holy Mark that you still deeply love Mei from your civilization era. So what reason do you have to help Raiden Mei from this civilization era? After all, this has nothing to do with you, does it?"
"Because she is special, and is part of my future plans, I will not allow her will to be corrupted by unknown beings. The dead should stay in their old graves."
"But you're not from the previous destroyed civilization era either? Oh, I see, so this is what you wanted to do."
Clearly, Alaya consciousness has seen through the full picture of Kevin's Stigmata Project. It must be said that Mei's idea is indeed interesting, and can even be compared with Dr. Mei's ideas.
"In that case, I'll tell you two more pieces of good news. The Stigmata Terminal, or rather, I'm no longer able to execute the instructions Dr. Mei gave me. This civilization era will be my last time restarting civilization, which also means that the Honkai energy of the planetary Honkai Beast above is about to be exhausted. As for how you want to deal with her, that's none of my business."
"Wait, a planetary-level Honkai Beast?" the captain asked instinctively.
"That's right. The planetary-level Honkai Beast Janna is one of the culprits that destroyed the Zero Era. After the End began its cycle of reincarnation, she came to the vicinity of the sea area where I am and fell into a deep sleep. I have been able to continue operating until now by using the Honkai energy within her body. As for why she allowed me to do this, to be honest, I don't know. I only know that Dr. Mei had contact with her and had made a request for cooperation, hoping that she could serve as the guardian of the Stigma Terminal, but she refused."
"One last question," the captain stepped forward and asked, "Besides Kiana and Raiden Mei, who else is on your final list?"
Alaya consciousness first glanced at Kevin, who then gestured for her to speak.
After receiving an affirmative reply, the Alaya consciousness recited the names on the list one by one.
To be honest, this list isn't very long. Excluding Kiana and Raiden Mei, the entire list only includes Otto, Einstein (who is Raiden Mei's assistant), and Tesla.
In other words, in Raiden Mei's eyes, only these few people still have value; the rest have long been abandoned by her.
The way Alaya consciousness restarts civilization is also very simple: just release the Stigmata Factors researched by Raiden Mei to promote evolution.
Only those on the list will receive special attention from the Alaya consciousness and be manufactured strictly in accordance with Raiden Mei's regulations.
This is why each restarted civilization has many possibilities that even the Alaya consciousness cannot calculate. Including this civilization era, the Alaya consciousness has restarted six civilizations in this way.
This civilization era is quite special. Not only did the previous civilization era create a divine key that had never been created before, but through the fourth divine key, Alaya consciousness, it realized for the first time that it could start working so quickly.
Furthermore, those who survived the previous civilization era also came to this civilization era through hibernation pods and made significant contributions to its development.
According to the calculations of the Alaya consciousness, this civilization era will be the one with the best chance of defeating the collapse.
If we fail even this time, then humanity's victory over the Honkai might just be a joke.
Then it's time to let Raiden Mei, this ghost who has been wandering for 250,000 years, rest in peace. After all, as Kevin said, the defeated should just lie in their old graves. A new civilization doesn't need someone from the old world to lead it.
Mei, it's time to end this tragic cycle.
Alaya consciousness watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance and thought to itself.
Once back on the surface, the captain faced a dilemma.
After all, according to Alaya-vijnana, the island they landed on before going down was very likely the body of the planetary Honkai Beast Janna.
However, due to the long period of time, she was covered with a large amount of soil, eventually forming the shape of a small island. Once she wakes up, the consequences will be unimaginable.
However, the captain ultimately gave the choice to Kevin, since the planetary-level Honkai Beasts were no longer something he could deal with.
Perhaps even Kevin would find it difficult to cope. After much deliberation, Kevin finally decided to hold back for the time being.
After all, she has been sleeping here for 250,000 years, and she should not wake up unless something unexpected happens.
We can simply wait for her Honkai energy to be completely depleted and for her to die naturally; there's no need to create another enemy for humanity.
Having figured this out, Kevin led the captain to Krosten.
Just now, Gray Serpent sent a message informing Captain Otto that he had made a high-profile announcement about the existence of Honkai at a press conference.
He officially announced his immediate resignation in a global live broadcast, with his granddaughter Theresa Apocalypse succeeding him as the new Archbishop of Destiny.
Theresa has already boarded the Hyperion to Krosten, and Mei is on board as well, so Kevin is determined to make this trip to Krosten.
