Characters Present

Rita Rossweisse

Durandal

Otto Apocalypse

Nagamitsu

Start

When the girl entered the S-rank Valkyrie Command Center, a familiar figure had already arrived.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Ah, Durandal...I take it you've already met with the Overseer.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Yeah. This news was a surprise to me.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

The Overseer disappeared one day, came back just as suddenly, and now he's ready to run the experiment.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

...The whole thing seems hard to believe.

🔇 N/A

Rita

But it's the Overseer— hasn't he always acted this way?

🔇 N/A

Rita

He has always viewed the world as a chessboard. All the people and things under his control are like the pieces.

🔇 N/A

Rita

For someone who thinks like that, results are the only things that matter.

🔇 N/A

Rita

After all, any value he placed on the process, he gave up many, many years ago.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Rita...

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Why does the way you're talking now remind me of the way Shakespeare and Schrodinger talked?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Like...it has some deeper philosophical meaning.

🔇 N/A

Rita

Huh, you really think so?

🔇 N/A

Rita

Well I'm sorry, Durandal. Maybe I'm just nervous about this mission.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Rita, you really—

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Isn't it normal to be nervous in this situation?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

After all, this involves countless real human lives in another dimension. If I were to make an analogy...

🔇 N/A

Durandal

In many ways, a small village deep in the mountains cannot be compared to a bustling city.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Yet the village also has it own past, present, and future.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Now suddenly, we have a chance to alter the fate of everyone there. Who wouldn't be nervous?

🔇 N/A

Rita

Oh. Is that the reason you're suddenly so talkative, Durandal?

🔇 N/A

Durandal recalled the way she was several years ago. Back then she was irritable, rather short in stature, and extremely talkative.

🔇 N/A

That girl seemed to be a completely different person than the Durandal of today.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Rita...I...

🔇 N/A

Rita

What is it, Durandal?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

It's nothing. Not worth talking about it.

🔇 N/A

The girl started to speak, then hesitated.

🔇 N/A

If it had been several years earlier, she would have openly talked to Rita about how her personality had changed.

🔇 N/A

But that girl was long gone.

🔇 N/A

Rita

...

🔇 N/A

Rita

Bianka...If this mission goes smoothly—

🔇 N/A

Rita

Then afterwards, let's take half a day off and go for a drive. What do you think?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Huh? Well, if it doesn't affect our work, then I guess we could...

🔇 N/A

Rita

As for where we should go— How about Naples? It's not far from the Floating Isles.

🔇 N/A

Going for a drive. Naples.

🔇 N/A

The girl suddenly remembered that on their adventure 5 years earlier, Rita had suggested something similar.

🔇 N/A

"The next time we get a chance, we should go to Naples at night and have some fun."

🔇 N/A

Durandal

...Yeah.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Sure.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

If the Overseer's experiment can really help those people in the bubble universe—

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Then we can drive to Mt. Vesuvius together.

🔇 N/A

The girl smiled and agreed that it was an unusual suggestion for an S-rank valkyrie to make.

🔇 N/A

Half an hour later. Schicksal Floating Isles. Special-purpose lab for the Second Divine Key [Cosmic Juggernaut].

🔇 N/A

Otto

Excellent. Everyone is here on time.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Durandal, Rita, Nagamitsu, Amber— I appreciate you all looking after HQ in my absence.

🔇 N/A

Rita

No problem at all, Overseer.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

We were just doing what we should.

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

That's right. Also, Mr Otto—

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

You can continue speaking for a while. The spacetime manipulation system needs 5 more minutes to warm up.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Haha. Looks like the only one who's not on time is the machine.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Well then, I'll use this time to familiarize everyone with the processes involved in this experiment.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Everyone should have a solid understanding.

Otto

At first glance, the 4 dimensional spacetime we inhabit seems flat and empty. Yet in higher-dimensional realms, it contains many unimaginably complex structures.

🔇 N/A

Otto

People of the previous era had two descriptive names for these structures: the Sea of Quanta and the Imaginary Tree.

🔇 N/A

Otto

In the Sea of Quanta, all beings and things decay as time progresses, until everything has disintegrated into chaos.

🔇 N/A

Otto

The world of the Imaginary Tree does not share this fate. But there, Honkai events are a frequent occurrence.

🔇 N/A

Otto

In essence, that is because the concept of "time" in each realm is fundamentally different. But this isn't what we'll be focusing on today.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Today's experiment will attempt to link a bubble universe within the Sea of Quanta back to the Imaginary Tree, saving it from the extinction to which it is ultimately destined.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Now that we've done extensive research on the Second Divine Key and obtained technical assistance from World Serpent, Schicksal must make use of this technology.

🔇 N/A

Otto

If we do so, in the not too distant future, we will be able to change the fate of—

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

The spacetime manipulation system is ready! Mr. Otto, the experiment can begin any time!

🔇 N/A

Otto

Well, looks like I'll have to be brief in my explanation.

🔇 N/A

Otto

To make a long story short, the subject of our experiment will be a special bubble universe contained within Durandal's body.

🔇 N/A

Otto

We will depart from the Sea of Quanta, seek a passage leading to Imaginary Space, and then try to artificially link it to the Imaginary Tree.

🔇 N/A

Otto

So, Durandal, you will need to enter the dimensional portal generated by the Second Divine Key yourself.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

...Okay!

🔇 N/A

Otto

This time you will be equipped with an upgraded [Genius+] spacetime exploration unit.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Nagamitsu will use it to maintain communications with you while you are in complex spacetime environments.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Got it.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Due to the great significance of this experiment—

🔇 N/A

Otto

Rita and Amber, you will stay here to manage and coordinate operations.

🔇 N/A

Otto

And I will accompany Durandal to the portal.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

...Huh?

🔇 N/A

Otto

Hehe, I guess this is the first time we'll be officially working side-by-side.

🔇 N/A

Otto

I'll need your assistance— Bianka "Durandal" Ataegina.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches to the Sea of Quanta, where the Captain will have control of Durandal's [Dea Anchora] battlesuit. >

Move on to the depths of the Sea of Quanta.

< Defeat the enemies. >

< The Captain can use Otto Apocalypse's skill to assist in battle. Upon the first two activations, Otto Apocalypse will have varying one sentence dialogues. >

< Upon the first activation: >

Otto:

Fade now, lingering shadow of the world.

< Upon the second activation: >

Otto:

No one can get in my way.

< Enemies defeated. >

< Defeat the enemies. >

< Enemies defeated. >

< Defeat the enemies. >

< Enemies defeated. >

Otto:

Interesting place.

Otto:

Fragmented info from the real world is reorganized and built into a unique set of rules and structures.

Otto:

...Just like life.

Otto:

Absorbing everything one can touch within the limited time...

Otto:

To form one's personality and character.

< Talk to Otto Apocalypse. >

Otto

So this is what it feels like in the Sea of Quanta... Not so different than being weightless.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Please try to stay close to me, Overseer.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

According to Nagamitsu, objects floating in the Sea of Quanta far from a bubble universe are at risk of decaying into nothingness.

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

But because Mr. Otto's body is made out of Soulium, the risk is very low.

🔇 N/A

Otto

But if we lose connection with the outside world, we do have a problem. After all, I already transplanted my consciousness into this body.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Huh? Isn't that...

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

Nothing we can do about that. Even though I spent two years improving the Genius+, it doesn't support real-time consciousness projection.

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

There's just not enough bandwidth.

🔇 N/A

Otto

No problem, I won't hold you back in battle.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

You must be joking, Overseer. You would beat me in one-on-one fight.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Haha, I doubt I could defeat you in a fair fight. In fact, it would be no contest.

🔇 N/A

Otto

As of this moment, you are Otto Apocalypse's most reliable partner in this adventure.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

...

🔇 N/A

Otto

Haha, seems that made you uncomfortable.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Well then, enough chit-chat, it's time to take the first step of our journey.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Let's go!

🔇 N/A

< Enter the portal. >
