Back at babylon labs. Einstein was controlling multiple mechs from AE with a hand held console looking gadget, bored out of her mind.
"This is more boring than I thought... Wait, I think I'm forgetting something. Well, if I forgot it, then it's not that important." She shrugged and continued killing the honkai beast horde, giving manual inputs and voice commands efficiently.
"Achoo! She hasn't called me yet. That means they're doing fine, right?" Tesla now has a small pile of snow above her head. Shivering from the cold like a wet cat.
"She forgot about you Tesla. I'm pretty sure of that." Erwin said to Tesla, making her frown heavily. "Tch, why are you guys so warm here! There's a goddamned blizzard happening right now!" Tesla was annoyed, though she could still hold her own as she was slavic.
"You should've brought your own heat mantle Tesla, it was you who told us that your Serbian blood would suffice for the cold." Edison gave her a smug smile while Emma looked at the scene with a warm gaze.
"You girls haven't changed one bit. I'm glad you're still the same, though you did create many more things." Emma smiled at them and they got embarrassed by her words.

"Every living adult must die. But you need not fear me, we're both little girls. And I can sense the honkai on you. That must mean we are sisters no? Join me, and we will burn the world." Sirin had a misunderstanding and Theresa frowned.
"I am really sorry Sirin. But I cannot join you in you. Please stop your conquest for revenge, or I'll be forced to stop you myself!" Theresa pointed her small Judah at her.
"Hmph, I thought that by showing you my story. You would join me, you leave me no choice little girl. Go and cool down your head, think carefully on which side you'll be in." Sirin opened a spatial rift and put Theresa inside a lake.
"And before I forget, I'll be taking this thing. This little troublesome cross is safer in my hands." Sirin took Judah from Theresa and she looked at it with curiosity.
Theresa was now swimming under lake Baikal. 'She took Judah away from me. Wait, Dr. Einstein said it can track things using honkai energy. Maybe it can track me as well?'
Theresa immediately called to Judah. Meanwhile, Sirin was poking the cross with interest as she tried to break it. With no success.
"Hmm, this little toy is quite curious. I can't break it with even all my powers." She couldn't even dent the golden cross, as her attacks were negated immediately when she tried cutting it up. It was also the most stable divine key after void archives.
It then suddenly grew and the chains broke through her pocket dimension, quickly going to Theresa.
"Wait, what's happening!?" Sirin got alarmed, and she saw Theresa entering her dimension again with a confident smile.
"I knew it Judah would come for me. I should have told you, me and Judah are bound as one. Give up girl, I don't want to fight you!" Theresa brandished the cross and the golden chains floated menacingly.
"How can you turn against me when you've learned of my story! I'll kill you in a blink of an eye!" Sirin got angry and willed one of her subspace lances to pierce Theresa.
"Judah, block the blow!" She put the cross in front of her as it was basically indestructible. But she didn't have full control of the mysterious powers of the cross, and it phased through it.
"What! It went through Judah!" The lance then phased through her stomach as well. And the weapon stayed there.
'It went past me too, it must be one of her illusions again. I must prepare for her actual attack.' Theresa thought it was another ruse, but Sirin smirked.
"I told you, I'll kill you in the blink of an eye." Sirin snapped her fingers and the lance materialized again, effectively stabbing Theresa on her stomach.
"The lance... Is not an illusion." The lance has wounded her fatally and Theresa had to wait for some time until Vishnu's genes healed her up to full.

Meanwhile, just outside the pocket dimension. Siegfried was struggling to kill the honkai beast. It is strong and was on his ass all the time, not giving him enough room or time to use Shamash.
"I can use some help here." Siegfried looked back to Joachim who was only watching him. Feeling quite lame as he said that even alone, he would help Theresa.
"I thought you wanted me to stay out of this? I better not get in your way hero" Joachim fixed his glasses and raised a brow.
"I got a little bit carried away. Will you PLEASE help me out?" Siegfried gave a cramped smile and thought Joachim being an ass was the reason people hated AE.
"Well, since you asked so nicely. I'll help you, but remember this hero. You owe me one." Joachim walked up to the honkai beast and increased gravity on them, effectively putting them out of commission and disintegrated the beast with star of eden.
"Huh, but where's Theresa?" Siegfried asked as the sphere disappeared and there were no signs of Theresa anywhere.
Joachim snorted. "Theresa's here with the enemy Siegfried, you just can't see her. The 2nd herrscher controls the void itself. She used her powers to create a pocket dimension superposed on the real world, and she is right... Here!" Joachim put his hands on the space in front of him and used his honkai energy to break open the little dimension.
"Your little game of hide and seek is over herrscher." The 1st and 2nd herrscher stared at each other. Prepared to battle for supremacy, one side trying to save the world, while the other wanting to see it burn to the ground.

At Schicksal HQ. "My juicy situation senses are tingling. There's something interesting happening here." Ein looked at Cecilia's house and thought to see her and Kiana while waiting.
He kicked the door open in usual Ein fashion and saw a blonde kid that Kiana was going to town on.
"Nyahallo, Kaslana household. It's me, Einheri." He pointed at his self dramatically and grinned at the blonde kid.
Tilie gulped nervously and thought her dignity as the overseer and a woman was over. "Ein-nii! It's so good to see you! Too bad Adelheid isn't here." Cecilia hugged him tight and introduced him to Kiana and the blond with a smile.
"Ein-nii, this is little Kiana from back then. She's so big now isn't she? She'll be the best valkyrie ever, isn't that right Kiana? You'll replace aunt Adelheid." Cecilia doted on Kiana and Ein patted her head.
"Here baby girl, have a cookie." He gave her a thicc cookie and Kiana got stars in her eyes. Finally leaving the loli Tilie. Though she had another problem, Ein was in front of her and she can't escape.
'Curses! Why does this devil have to come here!? He always shows up when these things happen.' Tilie cursed in her mind and thought she must be really careful.
Ein then took a picture of Kiana eating her cookie with gusto while Tilie had a constipated look on her face.
He then grinned and Tilie sweatdropped at the implications behind his malicious grin. "Who's the blonde girl Cecilia? Doesn't she look similar to someone?" He decided to corner her little by little. Terrifying her greatly as she understood what he wanted to do.
"Oh, I forgot that I didn't know your name. So, introduce yourself little one." Cecilia smiled at her and Tilie's brain ran a mile a minute.
"Uhhh, hello. My name is Risa Apocalypse, I am a relative of the overseer you see?" She couldn't think of a name and just used her sister's.
"Ohhh? Risa Apocalypse huh, you're named from one of the past overseers. What a curious name, you don't want that name. Because she died from a rebellion." Ein made her remember the rebellion and she frowned heavily, recalling the day she saw Kallen die in front of her. Powerless to do anything because of her accursed sister.
"Anyways, your clothes doesn't fit you. Wear this instead." Ein changed her clothes to a goth loli dress in an instant and took pictures of her along with HD videos of course.
"Wha- This is preposterous!" Tilie looked at her clothes and immediately ran away. Utterly humiliated as she was never shamed like that in her whole life.
"Aww, there she goes. She looked cute too in those clothes. Now, Kiana doesn't have a playmate too." Cecilia got a little sad that she left.
So Ein summoned little book. "Fuxi, play with Kiana and teach her culture." Cecilia and Kiana looked at the floating little girl curiously. Book nodded and looked at Kiana with determination.
"Girl, after I'm done with you. You will be powered by god and anime by your side." She nodded sagely with Ein and Cecilia was happy that Kiana had a playmate again.

"Get Theresa at the tower, she's still alive. Get her some treatment, I will handle this." Joachim stood in front of Theresa and Siegfried frowned as she carried her.
"You can't do this alone! We have an alliance right?" Siegfried didn't want to leave her, but he looked at Theresa and she had a gaping hole on her torso.
"Damn it Siegfried! Don't be stupid and get her some help!" Joachim shouted with annoyance and Siegfried immediately ran.
"Thanks Welt, I owe you one. No, I owe you three times! Don't die you hear me!" He then tried to get away, but Sirin won't let them go that easily.
"I didn't give you permission to leave insect! Put that girl down!" She willed her subspace lance again and tried striking down Siegfried. But Joachim shielded them and successfully blocked the attack, knowing what her powers were.
"I'll get Theresa some help, I will be back to help!" Siegfried then disappeared so he could get Theresa some medical attention.
"Who are you? You blocked my lance, and you can fly as well." Sirin narrowed her eyes at Welt and they were now in a stand off.
"Your subspace lances are in the imaginary space. They have no physical counters, but I am Welt, the 1st herrscher. So it is just like any other weapon for me. I want to talk." He hoped he could get through to her and ally her with humanity.
"Wait, you're a herrscher too? My goddess, what are you trying to tell me?" The little seraph communicated with her again and Joachim thought this would be bad.
"Kyahahaha! My goddess just told me about you, a traitor that has turned his back on her. But you're just a piece of trash compared to her chosen. I will crush you like the bug you are for betraying my goddess vermin." Sirin prepared to fight and Welt knew that negotiations have broken down.
"Your goddess is just lying to you. Then I must use a little bit of force to put reason in your untrained mind girl." He used star of eden and tried attacking her with the energy bolts from the divine key.
"Hah, your attacks don't work on me trash! Is this all you can do? And your petty tricks are running out?" Sirin countered and was unharmed as she used void shields to make everything he threw at her basically useless.
'Hmph, then how about this.' Welt used the star of eden to conjure a storm of energy. "You waste your time, my void shields cannot be pierced!" She just floated in place and the shields blocked as she expected.
"Wait, where is he?" She looked around and he was gone. Welt then appeared behind her back and tried breaching her void shields directly.
"Oops, it's a trap." Ethereal arms appeared behind Welt and grasped on him. "Goodbye pseudo-herrscher. My pet is quite hungry, she would appreciate a snack like you." Welt then got thrown to the ground and the honkai beast that accompanied her awakening chomped on Welt.
A dragon appeared and ate him like a snack, it then roared loudly. Awakening to destroy everything. (pic)
A small distance away. A blonde that was wearing a mask that had a wide grin and a teardrop under the eye watched things unfold.
"Hmm, time to review the results of our little experiments. Let's see how far she has gone after her little awakening."
