Chapter 68: "Thea Evolution"

According to personal experience, the time of movement in life is divided into two periods.

Adult time is a very fast time. They are always so busy with the things around them that they forget about time.

As for the time of a child, it is the slowest time. After all, they have quite a lot of free time.

Well, as someone who is caught between these two times. Thea admitted that she herself was very tired.

She thought that after obtaining a new body, and cooperating with Otto and making a deal with him. The free time she would have would be immense.

Turns out, she was dead wrong.

She had entered the adult zone time without even realizing it.

The first thing she needed to take care of was overcoming the "stigmata disease" that she had purposely created.

She needed to wake up stigmata patients one by one, at different times to prevent chaos.

After all, sleeping for nearly 12 plus years, that was already quite a long time.

Many valkyries have grown old, and can no longer function as they should.

Cecilia and Siegfried even had to officially disband the Snow Wolf squad because of the age of their members, and needed to form a new team line-up.

Perhaps in this case, apart from Schicksal who was delighted to receive back their long-sleeping veteran valkyrie warrior, Theresa Apocalipse who was the principal of St. Freya, is the second person who is in the peak of happiness.

Theresa absolutely didn't hesitate to take advantage of the situation and absorbed this retired valkyrie to become a teacher within her school.

As a result, the faces of the adults walking the halls of the academy grew more and more.

The school staff shortage crisis was finally resolved in a very miraculous way.

After that, the second thing to deal with was the problem with Anti-Entropy, and the secret matter of Cecilia's revive.

However, as an organization that accidentally participated in the attack on Schicksal headquarters, and saw the magic of the dead coming back to life. They really demand an explanation, what really happened at that time.

Thea still remembers the funny scene that Kiana and Aurora had to take a detour from the living room thinking that the communication left on the table would suddenly explode.

However for this matter, Otto had already handed it over to the propaganda department.

When the lies are spread too much to the point of not knowing which one is real or which one is fake. Usually people don't care anymore if they accept a fact.

The propaganda department put this to good use. As a result, Siegfried's reputation plummets, and causes the latter to lock himself in his room due to being too depressed.

Now, back to the main problem that was giving Thea the most headache.

Power problem.

The conversations, and the tricks the Will of Honkai played on her while in Siberia had made her realize how weak she was right now.

The Will of Honkai also made her realize that she is not human, and she is only a stigmata.

The way of growth is very different from normal humans in general.

If normal humans wanted to broaden their horizons, then they would read books, or learn from others.

But the Will of the stigmata...

They are different.

As the stigmata are forms of the crystallized branch of scientific technology, and gain the autonomy of consciousness, their way of growth will definitely be very different.

Like a senior Hare who could study the origin of an object in great detail with just one touch of her transcription.

Thea, who was an almost identical existence of stigmata to senior Hare, naturally had her own very unique way of learning. That is, by absorbing all the knowledge in the corridors of the Kaslana family.

But...

Thea was still not quite satisfied with this.

After all, knowledge will still be knowledge, having no power at all. Except, She turned it into her own power.

And the way to turn knowledge into power, she has found a way.

That is, evolve.

Her assimilation power is indeed very strong because she can usurp the authority of other people's stigmata. But, it is still not enough.

Like someone who just got a new prosthetic arm after surgery. They are your hands, you can control them, but they are also not your hands because they are just hands made of metal.

The thing Thea wanted right now was to change this hand to truly be her real hand.

That's why she needed to evolve.

With data from the special stigmata of the Kaslana family, Herrscher of Void stigmata, and Herrscher of Death stigmata that she currently has. Thea can already evolve whenever she wants.

Just, the thing she needed to worry about right now was her own body.

After all, when she did evolve, she would enter the weakest period of her own.

She had to prepare as much as possible to stockpile external and internal forces on her side.

"Sorry the great ancestor, in order to prevent untoward things from happening I have to kick you out. I beg you, please don't blame me for being impolite."

Black Homu: "...."

Kevin's avatar: "...."

The real Kevin: "....?"

Expelling all residents living in the stigmata room of the Kaslana family with her authority. Thea provided additional blocking for Kevin, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now this place really belongs to me!!!"

Thea shouted with joy in the corridor of Kaslana's space.

The game of stealth finally ends without too much drama. Now, this place was completely her.

"Expelling Kevin is complete, repairing Siegfried and Cecilia's stigmata to newer versions is also completed, giving Herrscher of Void's stigmata to Aurora is also completed, body upgrade is as strong as an S-rank valkyrie..."

"...The blocking of the stigmata link to become independent from being affected by my evolution has also been completed..."

"...I think it's about time."

Counting one by one the preparations she made before carrying out the evolution. Thea felt that everything was enough.

It's time for her to evolve.

Inhale deeply. Thea closed her eyes, and she immediately started evolution on the spot.

The stigmata room of the Kaslana family, along with its contents, also immediately sank into Thea's evolution.

This time, the stigmata of the Kaslana family will also enter into a very long process of assimilation.

____

In the sea of quanta...

Kevin, who had been observing his own world through the stigmata room of the Kaslana family, suddenly stood up in a panic.

"Stigmata space... Disappear?"

Kevin couldn't believe what he had just discovered.

The stigmata room of the Kaslana family is not only responsible for recording the history of all members of the Kaslana family, and providing strength when family members need it. But, it also has a function for Kevin, as a coordinate for him to return home.

Now, with the Kaslana family's stigmata space that suddenly disappeared. Kevin, who has lost connection with his house, admits to being little panicked.

"What exactly is going on here? Who is that little girl?"

Kevin was really very confused.
