Bronya's exclamation was met by silence.
Immediately, I silently channeled the Dao of Causality. My sight is filled with darkness. White lines lit up my surroundings, representing each branch of the future.
I looked through the thousands of futures. These futures are not definite, thus they can only be used as a reference.
I decided to not elaborate any further. Every time I said something, I made things worse.
I exhaled as I exited this special state. My sight returned to normal.
"We need to talk about our action plans."
I skillfully shifted the topic away from it. Kiana's apparent embarrassment eased along with the others'.
The Project STIGMA's power forcefully transported everyone to varying places. The Moon, for instance, is where the children with stigma were sent. On the other hand, ordinary humans are sent to the Imaginary Space. Their dreams will serve as a fuel for humanity's Spiritual Adam. It will enhance the power of stigma of these children. It will also covertly turn them into a part of the honkai, thereby negating its proportionality law. The Honkai will no longer cause harm to humanity, achieving the goal of the Previous Era's greatest minds.
There is only a little manpower left on Earth. Aside from Theresa, there was Fu Hua, Himeko, and Hyperion's staff. Bronya was luckily left behind due to her stay at the Sea of Quanta.
Overall, there are eight Golden Core Realm cultivators on Earth. They reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core Realm with the Tao Gifts.
Three of them are also awakened Herrschers. All of them stood around me.
"Our best bet in winning this all lies in the confrontation with Kevin. No matter what we do, unless he's defeated, he will continue enacting Project STIGMA."
I explained for a moment before giving out orders.
Currently, Kevin is the priority. Nonetheless, not everyone can join that final confrontation. The next priority after that is the Imaginary Space where the conversion to the Spiritual Adam takes place. I have a feeling it will be beneficial to those with awakened stigma.
The Xuanyuan twins are bearers of Natural Stigma. If it weren't for it, they wouldn't have been able to hold on for a thousand years inside Chi You. Its powers are mystical.
I sent them out to that imaginary space along with Fu Hua.
"Find Sin first. She's deeply entangled in that space."
"That girl? I understand."
Soon, the three women from Shenzhou left. They held the special peak fifth grade spiritual artifact I received. It is similar to a luopan compass. Imbued with the Dao of Causality, it is the pinnacle of what Nascent Soul cultivators can use. Adding my residual power, locating the chaotic Imaginary Space becomes easier.
It has some other functions that will be of great use to them, too.
Sin…
It is Hare's misfortune to pull her inside that imaginary space. Sin has the Dao of Dreams and an abnormal Natural Stigma by her side. The power of the two is terrifying inside the world of humanity's dreams.
Breaking the Spiritual Adam is an alternative winning condition for Kevin, though striking him is the best way to win.
"Bronya… Come with Seele and Veliona. Strike hard at the Bubble World trapping everyone else."
"Copy."
Seele looked between Bronya and I back and forth before running at my side. Her soft pink lips touched mine. Her eyes remained closed throughout the process. It did not last long as she pulled herself back.
Only, the obsession in her eyes grew exceedingly stronger.
"You idiot! Now's not the time for that!" Veliona woke her up.
"Eh… Okay. See you later, Brother Tian."
The three of them disappeared to the horizon.
Kiana, who is silent, suddenly leaned towards me. She aggressively bit on my lips before using her tongue to pry my mouth open. The remaining person here, Sirin, looked at us in a daze.
…
Don't tell me…
She wants it too?
As if sensing my thoughts, Kiana clutched my chest. She separated herself from me and said:
"Don't think of other girls while you are with me. Okay?"
"Okay."
Nevertheless, she did not say anything to Sirin's behavior. She chose to feast on my mouth instead. All kinds of flexible tongue tricks she knew are utilized. A burning sensation began to erupt inside my body.
The [Nine Dragons Primordial Universe Body] embodies the Dao of Permanence, showcasing the True Dragons' virility. It further complemented the Dao of Life inside my body, increasing it to exaggerating heights.
I forcefully held these desires back. Had my Tao Heart not been strong enough, I would have faltered.
I separated from her this time; our breaths intertwined.
"You are a succubus."
"That's unfair. You are tempting me."
"I am not doing anything."
"You tempt me by existing."
"..."
I remained speechless at her logic.
*****
Sin Mal is in her literal dream world. Her memories leading to her arrival here are blurry. Retaining her rationality proved to be a challenge.
Currently, she is at Cocolia's office in the orphanage. Like a domineering CEO, she pushed the man of her dreams against the wall.
"...at's wrong with you?"
"Isn't it…"
Her consciousness remained blurred. She could barely make out of the "script" they were on in. Sin 'threatened' Shi Tian, to which the latter fell to her grasp.
Everything would have been fine. She would have enjoyed his affection… if it wasn't for a slight flaw.
This is not the real Sin Mal.
At that moment, she woke up.
'This isn't what I want!'
It caused her entire dreamscape to collapse. It is replaced by a sea of endless white clouds.
"He wouldn't be like that."
Sin Mal's true personality is the exact opposite of the domineering CEO.
She wanted to be dominated.
Shi Tian handled her with ease throughout their year together. It was these actions that spurred on the desires in her heart. The thought of him playing with her was enough to satisfy her. Her twisted mind enjoyed it thoroughly.
"Being attracted… no. I am sent here by something."
Sin Mal recalled Earth's greatest threat in their weekly briefing.
"...Project STIGMA. But why am I here?"
Little did she know, it was she who triggered the changes. Sin Mal was stationed at the Imaginary Space. She majored in the Dao of Dreams and possessed a Natural Stigma related to it. These things resonated with the Spiritual Adam formed from dreams. Its core, Hare, caught wind of it and decided to let this resonance take place.
As such, she wasn't sent to the place where the stigma awakened are located.
"I need to find my way out."
Just then, Sin Mal felt the resonance with these dreams and her once again. Just by existing, she could feel her supernatural power gain more strength. She is at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Realm like the others. Only two of her techniques are at [Great Accomplishment]; the rest are lagging behind.
But now, her understanding grew as she stayed in this place. Even her Tao Heart, which was at the fourth level, moved towards the fifth level.
"I will definitely surprise them! Hehe…"
Only Sin Mal's proud laughter rang inside this space.
