Durandal:

This place is...

When leaping between dimensions, one's consciousness is sometimes affected by dream-like interference

🔇 N/A

For the girl, it came in the form of images of gallows, remains of Honkai Beasts, and unfamiliar purple flowers.

🔇 N/A

These were certainly not images from her own memories. They might have been residual data in the Sea of Quanta. Or maybe—

🔇 N/A

Otto

Looks like we are already close to our destination.

🔇 N/A

Otto

This is the Theater of Domination, a space created by the 10th Herrscher not long ago.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Although the 10th Herrscher is gone, I'm thinking of a way to preserve part of what's here.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Will that help us establish a connection with the Imaginary Tree?

🔇 N/A

Otto

Exactly. How much do you know about the 10th Herrscher— The Herrscher of Dominance?

🔇 N/A

Durandal

I read the research materials provided by Anti-Entropy and World Serpent.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

That Herrscher is an aggregation of multiple consciousnesses. It can construct unique dimensions in the gaps within spacetime, unlike the Herrscher of Dominance of the previous era.

🔇 N/A

Otto

You know enough, then. After all, we won't encounter the Herrscher of Dominance, but merely what it left behind.

🔇 N/A

Otto

In order to control its minions from this place, the Herrscher made use of the Imaginary Tree's power to create a link between the two universes.

🔇 N/A

Otto

And this resulted in—

🔇 N/A

Otto

Even though the 10th Herrscher no longer exists, and the Theater of Domination is about to sink into the Sea of Quanta—

🔇 N/A

Otto

For the moment it still retains its connection with the Imaginary Tree.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

So you quickly assembled everyone to begin the experiment...

🔇 N/A

Otto

Yes. Time waits for no man.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Although it will sink into the Sea of Quanta, the process isn't instantaneous.

🔇 N/A

Otto

But before we attempt to intervene in the "Honkai Persona", we need to have a firm grasp of the technology and resources at our disposal.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

I understand. But Overseer...

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Does the "Honkai Persona" really exist? I always thought it was just hypothetical.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Before this century, it was indeed just hypothetical.

🔇 N/A

Otto

But during the 2nd Eruption in the year 2000, I made contact with a consciousness so enormous that it defied common sense.

🔇 N/A

Otto

This consciousness could confuse humans by bombarding them with excessive amounts of information...It could take the entirety of human knowledge and force it into your brain in an instant.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Unless they took preventative measures, humans could not communicate with it as equals.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Then...

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Hold on, if this is really the "Honkai Persona", that means it's basically invincible.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Yes. If it really had that kind of power, it could extinguish civilization whenever it wanted. Trying to revive humanity would be pointless.

🔇 N/A

Otto

So either its hatred of humanity is not so deep, or it's not as invincible as it seems.

🔇 N/A

Otto

...But I digress. No matter what, humanity must use everything at its disposal to have a chance at victory in this uneven struggle.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

And the experiment we will undertake today is a rare opportunity.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Absolutely. Now, in describing the relationship between the two worlds, we can call our own world "base reality".

🔇 N/A

Otto

The "Honkai Persona" controls the link between base reality and the Imaginary Tree, affecting the natural cycle of Honkai energy. Humanity is suffering as a result.

🔇 N/A

Otto

So, for the upcoming experiment... If everything goes well, we might be able to rid ourselves of our shackles, and establish our own connection with the Imaginary Tree.

🔇 N/A

Otto

If successful, Humanity can turn the tide against Honkai without a fight.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

...But you said "if everything goes well".

🔇 N/A

Otto

That's true. Cutting-edge experiments are rarely successful, and the future is even more unpredictable.

🔇 N/A

Otto

But if we get any positive results from this adventure, at least you'll be able to face Kevin with confidence.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Are you talking about the ultimate purpose of World Serpent, "Project Stigma"?

🔇 N/A

Otto

Of course. The frightening thing about Project Stigma is that it could redefine the rules by which the world operates.

🔇 N/A

Otto

If the other side can create their utopia, and we cannot, then sooner or later the world will become as they envision.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Since none of us wants the grim future imposed by the previous era, we must find a way to create our own "utopia".

🔇 N/A

Durandal

That is to say...If I have a bubble universe within me, and in today's experiment we can safely link it to the Imaginary Tree...

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Then in the future, we'll have the resources needed to refuse Project Stigma.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Yes. But as you know, among all the schemes for opposing Honkai...

🔇 N/A

Otto

There are none that are guaranteed to succeed.

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

Hey— Mr. Otto!

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

Isn't today the day that Durandal will gloriously complete her mission? What's with the negativity?

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

You should learn how to quit while you're ahead.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

But what he's saying is true. And the truth shouldn't be avoided.

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

But we are not yet at the point where we have to make a choice...

🔇 N/A

Nagamitsu

Today, there's no need for you to—

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Uh...Thanks for your concern, Nagamitsu.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

But...

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Failure is not an option in missions given to S-Rank Valkyries.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

And I'm used to living dangerously.

🔇 N/A

Otto

...Hahahaha!

🔇 N/A

Otto

Good, that's the spirit!

🔇 N/A

Otto

Durandal, rightfully known as the most powerful Valkyrie in Schicksal. Your devotion to the cause hasn't wavered one bit.

🔇 N/A

Durandal

Overseer, please stop with the flattery. It seems you're a bit over-excited today.

🔇 N/A

Otto

Heh. I could go on and on...

🔇 N/A

Otto

Nagamitsu, please explain in detail the steps involved in the experiment. Your Overseer will keep his mouth shut now.
