On the screen,
As the Second Honkai Eruption officially began,
after a round of investigations, no obvious clues were found.
However—
beneath the laboratory, a massive prison was discovered.
Inside it were hundreds of human girls, all imprisoned!
"According to the data on the computer terminals, they are experimental subjects from the Advanced Systems Division."
"What's being conducted on them is an experiment testing human adaptability to Honkai energy."
"No wonder they're covered in bandages and wounds… but why is there no mention of them in any official records?"
Theresa suddenly understood—yet she still turned in confusion toward her mission deputy, another Valkyrie, Patrick.
Patrick let out a sigh.
"Because there's no need…"
"You know this—every year, Schicksal secretly requisitions thousands of experimental subjects like these."
"Most of them are orphans. No one cares whether they live or die."
"No—there are people who care! At least I do!"
"Wait! Theresa, that's against regulations! Experimental subjects must be sent back to headquarters!"
"Do you know St. Freya Academy?"
Theresa turned back with a smile—
gentle, warm, and radiant like sunlight.
It was as if she had already made up her mind,
even though this decision could bring her unimaginable consequences.
"Not long ago, I applied to the Overseer for an artificial island in the Far East."
"There, I'll secretly take in these girls who were treated as test subjects."
"I'll let them study—learn how to control the Honkai energy inside them."
"One day, they'll be able to return to a normal life!"
[Paimon]: Paimon sees an angel!!
[March 7th]: Wow!! Theresa here is so warm and dazzling (sparkly eyes)!!
[Honkai · Himeko]: Hehe, our principal really can be quite decisive when it counts~
[Rita]: Lady Theresa is becoming more and more adorable~
[Kiana]: So that's why St. Freya was founded… qaq!!
[Kafka]: Such a cute little Theresa~
[Theresa]: …
[Star Rail · Himeko]: But… would Otto really agree to such an outrageous request??
[Otto]: Mm, I'd guess… he probably did agree. After all, it was Theresa's request.
[Star Rail · Himeko]: Cough cough cough!!
[Bailu]: Bad Otto!! Take this punch from me!!
At once,
Everyone in the chat group was deeply moved by Theresa's bright smile on the screen!
Incomparably kind!
Warm like spring sunlight!
This was what a leader of Schicksal should look like!
An existence like an angel!
Meanwhile, the real Theresa felt her face burning hot as she saw the flood of praise in the chat.
She had truly thought that way back then…
but being watched by so many people now… was honestly a bit embarrassing…
When it came to thick skin,
Theresa was nowhere near her grandfather.
And as the story continued—
That very night.
Patrick discovered something strange in the prison sector!
One girl—who should have already been taken away by Theresa—
appeared in front of the Honkai reactor!
And that girl—
was an old acquaintance to everyone!
The Second Herrscher—
Sirin!!
Patrick stood no chance at all against the Second Herrscher's powers!
The next day!
News of a Valkyrie's disappearance reached Schicksal headquarters!
[A-rank Valkyrie Heismith has mysteriously gone missing. Near the Honkai reactor, only a small amount of blood and her weapon were found.]
[If even an A-rank Valkyrie couldn't escape… Upon receiving the report, Overseer Otto increased his attention to the incident.]
[Not only did he send two additional members of the Snow Wolf Squad to the Babylon Laboratory—]
[But also… Siegfried Kaslana.]
The Schicksal squad quickly arrived on the Siberian plains,
clearing out the massive numbers of Honkai beasts emerging across the tundra!
Then the scene shifted—
and what shocked everyone was this:
Anti-Entropy had also arrived near the Babylon Laboratory at the same time!
And that missing Valkyrie
was openly standing among Anti-Entropy's ranks!
It turned out her true identity was an Anti-Entropy spy planted within Schicksal!
This time, to bring the Second Herrscher Sirin back to Anti-Entropy—
Not only did Tesla and Einstein deploy together,
but also Anti-Entropy's true leader!
Welt Yang!
Very soon,
The two sides encountered each other
on the frozen, snow-covered plains!
Siegfried immediately shouted in vigilance,
"People of Anti-Entropy—state your purpose!"
"Members of Schicksal! I am Anti-Entropy's leader—Welt Yang."
Welt Yang's voice echoed across the battlefield.
The two Schicksal Valkyries instantly felt their hearts tighten.
"Anti-Entropy's leader?!"
"The First Herrscher! We must inform Lord Otto immediately!"
Only at this moment
did Welt Yang officially reveal his identity
before others—and before Schicksal itself!
"Members of Schicksal, what's happening inside Babylon Tower concerns the fate of the world."
"For the sake of this world, I ask you to temporarily put aside past grudges."
"Accept our help, and resolve this incident together!"
Instinctively,
Siegfried frowned and rejected the proposal.
Perhaps because Cecilia had once been attacked by Anti-Entropy,
or perhaps because of Schicksal's stance—
"My duty forbids me from accepting your help. Leave immediately!"
"Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, I won't let you pass!"
"Mutual destruction?"
"Isn't the Kaslana family's duty to protect others?!"
"Please believe in my sincerity. I have no desire to be your enemy."
"I'm willing to have my forces station here—and to accept any conditions you propose!"
"…Alright."
"Starting a war with the First Herrscher here and getting wiped out isn't exactly wise."
Siegfried scratched his head, finally acknowledging reality.
Dealing with the Second Herrscher
was clearly the top priority.
"And your eyes—those are the eyes of a real man. I choose to trust you!"
"If this incident truly threatens the entire world, as you say…"
"Then the thing I should stake my life on—
is stopping it!"
As he spoke,
Siegfried and Welt Yang clasped hands firmly!
And at this moment—
The final decision on whether Schicksal and Anti-Entropy could truly form an alliance
rested with one person alone!
The Overseer of Schicksal—
Otto Apocalypse!
