At Schicksal HQ. There was an announcement that the overseer had an important thing to repay to them.
"Hmm, Rita. Do you think this is something about the overseer's announcement?" Bianka was walking with Rita to the office of the overseer. She was curious as they only get called in for important missions and skirmishes.
"I do not know, Bianka-san. But something big is going to happen, I can feel my maid senses tingling." Rita's eyes glowed and she could feel it in her gut that the overseer won't be talking about something normal.
"Hmmm, I guess your maid senses are pretty accurate Rita. Like that time when Ein-nii was having a vacation. We made it in time because of it, so I'll trust you." Bianka nodded sagely and Rita curtsied with a smile.
"Why, thank you kindly. Now, let us go." Rita opened the door to Tilie's office and they saw her all relaxed on her chair. Looking like she'll drop her mixtape.
"Ahhh, it is good to see you. Bianka, Rita. Have a seat." She gestured for them to sit and they nodded. "Well, overseer. What is this all about anyway?" Bianka just drank some tea and took a tea cake from her pouch.
"Straight to the point as always. You were always like that, well. As you know, this concerns my little announcement back then." Tilie swirled her drink and Bianka nodded.
"Hmm, if I could guess. Then this is something that would affect all of Schicksal doesn't it?" Rita commented and Tilie nodded with a smirk.
"Yes, that is correct. So, Bianka, Rita. I would like to offer you the seat of being the overseer of Schicksal." Tilie thought that they will steer Schicksal into a good path after her plan and Kallen would work with them well.
"Ehhh? That's too much work you know?" Bianka immediately declined and Rita nodded. "As you know, lady overseer. I am the maid of my master, and my duty is to be by his side. We are only at Schicksal because he told us to go here." Rita chuckled and Tilie expected as much.
"I see, then Theresa would be my successor. That is what I would like to tell you, I will be quitting my post as the overseer. Schicksal has been ruled by me for centuries, it is time for a new leader." Tilie sighed and regretted that she couldn't take over quickly enough.
Because if she did, then all this mess wouldn't even be here in the first place. "Ohhh, okay. Something's happening huh? We're Schicksal's forces for the time being. So go crazy, we know you like to do things like that." Bianka shrugged and Rita nodded.
Bianka left the premises and Rita looked at Tilie with a smile. "Please do make it quick, we are not going to be here for much longer." Rita gave a smirk and Tilie was pressured, making her grin from the challenge.
"Oh, I will. I have been planning this for centuries." Tilie leaned right back at her seat and continued drinking her wine.

Ein was relaxing and he was having a good time with V.H. Kallen. Vill-v was retrofitting her guns as Adelheid was really persistent that V.H. Kallen should have more guns on her.
"Oopsie daisy, that's the last of em." Vill-v gave a thumbs up and has added a multitude of rocket launchers on her person. Electromagnetic Gatling guns, particle cannons, orbital laser targeting systems, and ammunition. Lots and lots of ammunition.
"Umm, Ein-san. Vill-v. Isn't this a little bit too much?" V.H. Kallen had a wry smile as she was now super bulky. Having tons of weaponry on her, but with German engineering. She was now a mobile fortress that could fight while flying around. (pic)
She also had orbiting weaponry around her that could cover 360° for her. Acting as multi-purpose tools that can be shields, melee weapons, and long range weapons.
"What are you talking about, it's perfectly normal. What? You think you're gonna fight some easy honkai beasts here? You need all of that honestly, especially because you haven't gotten through training yet." Ein shrugged and she gulped.
"What are we going to fight anyways?" Kallen nervously asked as she felt like she was a war machine.
"You, dear vampire hunter. Are going to hunt down honkai beasts galore, you might not feel it. But the energy levels are rising right now. And with your previous arsenal, you're weaker than a Gundam." Ein explained and she nodded, still confused. But she did know that honkai beasts would appear more often.
"Umu, you know Adelheid right? She got her ass beaten by our gundams before. They're that amazing! Huhun." Vill-v puffed her chest and Ein patted her head for their great engineering.
"Ugh, don't let me remember that. I could totally beat their asses now! I have the core of thunder you know?" Adelheid huffed and Ein stared at her.
"And from where did it come from?" He raised a brow. Adelheid looked down on the ground and became meeker as she apologized. "Sorry, it was from you."
"Kallen, are you sure you wanna fight in this world? I'm worried about you, and Ein-dono has already told me that we can sit this one out as we are guests here." Sakura was concerned and V.H. Kallen nodded with a confident smile.
"Un! I'm a Kaslana after all! Those guys will terrorize everyone you know? And now that I'm more motivated than ever, I'll let them have a taste of these babies." She patted her new guns and Sakura hugged her tightly.
"Okay. Then if you're fighting, I will too. I was the protector of my village, and I'll protect you too." Alter Sakura said cheesily and they smiled at each other.
"Ohhh, nice desu ne. I just caught that in 8k hd." Ein was filming it. His Kallen and Sakura went green at their interaction and almost barfed right then and there.
"Ugh. I take it back, Sakura. Seeing you all in love like that with me makes me sick." Kallen drank a milkshake so she could take out the nasty taste in her mouth.
"Shut up, that's my line. I didn't knew it would be this bad." Sakura went up to Ein and asked for some sweets or she'll puke from their little lovey dovey display.
"Oh, suck it up. You guys kiss each other all the time when we're having sex. It's not like it's end of the world." Vill-v rolled her eyes and the duo whipped their heads at her.
"It's different! Look at them! They're being all sweet and sticky with each other. And they would surely do it all the time!" Sakura pointed out and Kallen agreed.
"Yeah! It is much more different in our night time activities! They're having such a pure and innocent moment. I can't imagine doing that with her!" Kallen pointed at Sakura and they glared at each other.
"What!? Are you insinuating that I'm not good enough for you? For your information, Ein has told me that I have a perfect body, and he really likes my fluffy hair. Then do you mean he has bad taste?" Sakura used logic on her and it was super effective.
"Agh! That's not fair! You know what I mean. Ein! Sakura's doing the thing!" Kallen tattled to him and he patted her head.
"Ahhh, don't change Kallen. Don't change." He nodded in satisfaction and gave her a cookie. "You're treating me like a kid again." She pouted at him, but she still took the cookie of course.
"Heh, you just lost. Whenever you lose, you run to Ein for help." Sakura had a smug smile on her face and Kallen glared at her.
"Oh yeah? But how about you? Whenever Ein hugs you or kisses you in public, you act like a teenager and go kyaah!" Kallen shot back and Sakura gasped.
"You didn't... Alright, we're settling this!" Sakura looosened up her muscles and squinted her eyes. "Fine by me! I'll beat you up real good!" Kallen started shadow boxing and was ready to throw hands.
"Hah, what am I gonna do about you two? Sorry about these two, guys. They're a bit competitive with each other since the start, but they're good friends." Ein pinched their cheeks.
V.H. Kallen and alter Sakura gave a wry smile. Watching their doppelgangers act like a cat and dog.
"It's fine, Ein-dono. Though may I request for a weapon and a training facility? My style of fighting will leave me disadvantaged, unlike Kallen here." Sakura wished and he nodded.
"Well, I guess that's fine. Though I have a better idea, you'll train under someone." Ein whistled and SAKURA quickly came to their location as he sent her a message.
"Hmmm? What's the matter?" SAKURA stared intensely at another version of her that also had fox ears. Making them twinnies.
"She's out of touch, how about you train her yourself?" Ein suggested and SAKURA was interested in her alternate self's skills.
"I see, well then. You, come with me. I'll teach you the blade of Setsuna. It might not be as strong as Ein's dark slayer style, but it is much easier to use. It can also be a pre requisite for his techniques." SAKURA made a comprehensive training program in her head.
Alter Sakura tilted her head and thought that the dark slayer style sounded pretty dangerous. "Ahh, may I see what the dark slayer style is all about? I am an avid enjoyer of the sword you see? And it sounds powerful." She requested and Ein took a stick from the ground.
"It's like this, just swing really quickly. And..." Ein swung the stick at a thick tree and it suddenly got cut in half clean on the middle.
"Tadah! You can cut anything in your way, pretty cool right?" Ein laughed and alter Sakura gave a cramped smile.
"Hah, he knows you're not ready to learn it yet so he doesn't want to give you an idea on how to train it. But what he said was basically it, though it requires ungodly amounts of control and strength." SAKURA explained.
"Oh, okay then. I will see you later, Kallen. We have a lot to talk about don't we?" Sakura kissed Kallen's forehead and SAKURA was shocked.

The will of the honkai was thinking of ways on how to combat humanity. Now that they have a shield that they cannot possibly penetrate.
"Einheri... You menace, you will disrupt the natural balance of the whole macrocosm!" The will raged and was extremely concerned about what it should do.
"You leave me no choice... If it's a fight that you want. Then I will bring it to you, let us see how you will defend all the fronts." The will started its machinations and the ambient honkai energy in their world started to rise.
As the honkai energy levels started to rise. Honkai beasts also started getting more active. And the first one to experience this, was south east Asia.
Starting in Singapore and Hong Kong, major honkai outbreaks spread all over. Honkai beasts ravaged the cities, though no herrschers were born.
"Alright, squad. Major outbreaks are happening, this is not a drill. Aesir HQ has given orders, annihilate anything that is silicon based. Give those bastards hell." An ELF commanded the employees of Aesir and they saluted.
Aesir employees stationed at South East Asia started getting in their combat suits and sortied immediately.
The ELFs were first respondents and they wiped out honkai beasts while the human operatives evacuated people with lightning quick efficiency.
And once cities were cleared for combat. The honkai beast numbers quickly went down. Normal ones didn't stand a chance and the operatives hunted them down mercilessly.
Aesir was finally actively purging the honkai and in the course of the outbreak. The recorded casualties were at an all time low.
And while Aesir took care of the outbreaks and civilians. At Schicksal HQ, the overseer was announcing her resignation.
"My Valkyries. As you know, I have stood as the leader of Schicksal for as long as you can remember." Tilie started her speech and even Anti-Entropy sent out spies for Intel.
"Hmph, what are you on about now? Ottilie Apocalypse." Schrodinger was watching her announcement at the premises as she could use her honkai genes to escape or the sea of quanta.
"It was an honor to work with every single one of you. And I have gathered everyone here for a simple matter. I am resigning as the overseer of Schicksal." Tilie stated dramatically and everyone was shocked.
Erwin gasped and thought that she must be planning something. She immediately escaped the premises and went back to Yellowstone while informing them of the news.
"Yes, you heard that correctly. I, Ottilie Apocalypse will be stepping down as Schicksal's overseer. This decision has not been made lightly, I hope you all could accept it and support the new overseer of Schicksal." Tilie acted perfectly and hyped up the crowd.
"This will be farewell, Schicksal. Thank you for supporting me and the organization. I couldn't have done it all without you." She bowed and started to walk away.
The Valkyries and people of Schicksal started whispering immediately and they were blindsided by the announcement. Thinking of who would be the new overseer of Schicksal.
"Anti-Entropy will not be passive about this. Amber, are they all ready?" The blonde asked her secretary and she nodded.
"Excellent. World Serpent would be in the shadows as well, Rita and Bianka will take care of them if needed." She looked at the pods that contained multiple Soulium bodies of herself and she smirked.

And while Tillie's little stunt was happening, at Aesir HQ. MEI, Vill-v, and EINSTEIN were commanding different Battalions of troops.
Like they were playing an RTS, the trio are akin to inhuman computers that could cover every part of the map they played on. Minimizing structural damage and casualties to the maximum.
Vill-v and MEI handled Aesir operatives while EINSTEIN commanded the ELFs. "Status reports, everyone?" Ein was at the helm of the war room and they huffed.
"This is too easy, our employees can fight emperor class honkai beasts bare handed." MEI recapitulated with pride.
Vill-v then huffed. "Hmph, these honkai bastards can't even scratch our new and improved Soulium battle suits." She nodded in satisfaction at the power armors that she created for their operatives. Just like how the ELFs have honkai reactors, their latest suits have miniature Selene converters. Turning them into perpetual killing machines.
"If we had a few more years back then. This would've been possible really." EINSTEIN sighed, looking at the ELFs that are unmatched in weaponry and savagery. Unbefitting of their cute stature.
"I see, this is just the start. Vill, keep an eye out with your surveillance. I can feel a congregation of honkai energy at the far east. It would probably happen at Manila." Ein felt that a honkai eruption would wreak havoc at the Philippines.
"Aye, aye cap'n." Vill-v saluted and like a puppeteer. She controlled their mechs to be on standby at South East Asia.
"Hmph, such paltry tricks. You think that will work again? In your dreams, we have waited centuries for this." Ein's eyes glowed and the rest of the flame chasers were behind him on their respective thrones. Signifying their ranks, waiting to be deployed.
Rank 1 Kevin Kaslana, code named Deliverance. With the Judgement of Shamash. Kaslanas must live by their oath. Purge the vile honkai and smash the false gods.
