Siberian Snowfield – 5 Kilometers from Babylon Tower
Amid the swirling snow, Anti-Entropy's elite operatives watched silently from a distance.
Bundled in thick winter coats, Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein stared toward the ominous laboratory, their breaths clouding in the frozen air.
Einstein spoke calmly:
"Our best operative has infiltrated Babylon Tower. We must wait for the intelligence she brings back.
If we're lucky, she might even capture that person and bring them back quietly. That way, we can avoid direct conflict with Schicksal's forces.
The Overseer would undoubtedly prefer a peaceful resolution to this incident."
Before Tesla could reply, Overseer Welt tensed.
"Someone's coming."
A staggering figure emerged from the blizzard—Patricia. Gravely wounded, her left arm gone, she collapsed into Welt's arms.
"Forgive me… Overseer… the mission… failed… She has awakened… and her power is growing stronger by the minute."
Welt's expression hardened.
"Too late, then. Don't worry. Leave the rest to me. How do I find her?"
After extracting what intel he could, Welt assured Patricia her friends in Schicksal would be protected, before sending her to safety.
[Himeko]: "Whoa! Mr. Yang used to be this cold?!"
[March 7th]: "Total icy CEO vibes!"
[Qingque]: "Well, Anti-Entropy's fate rested on him alone. No wonder he was grim. But now? He ditched Earth's problems and became a space bum—mentally healthier, right? Moral of the story: slacking off is good for your health!"
[Fu Xuan]: "Qing! Que! Slacking again?!"
[Qingque]: "I-I take it back!"
At the Prison Entrance
Though weakened, Sirin reveled in her vengeance, laughing maniacally.
"I won! Not even a Valkyrie could stand against me!
I need more… I must absorb more energy from the reactor… Then I'll kill every last hypocritical adult!"
A strange mosquito-like Honkai Beast appeared beside her. She stared at it in confusion.
"What… is this? I've never seen such a creature before… yet it feels… familiar.
You'll… distract them for me?"
Meanwhile, Theresa stood vigil at the reactor, grief-stricken by Patricia's bloodstains. Her sorrow turned to resolve as swarms of Honkai Beasts surged forth at Sirin's call.
She gripped Oath of Judah tightly.
"For everyone's safety… I cannot falter!"
Before she could charge, a familiar voice cut in:
"No need, Theresa. Stay inside and coordinate. Leave the beasts to us!"
Led by Siegfried, Schicksal's reinforcements stormed in. Dual-wielding the Judgement of Shamash, Siegfried grinned recklessly.
"Looks like we made it just in time. Wipe them out! Don't let a single one escape!"
The three elite Valkyries at his side surged forward, cleaving through the horde like a raging storm.
[Kiana]: "Hah! Who knew my deadbeat dad could actually look cool?! I thought those guns were just for toasting bread!"
[Mobius]: "Not bad. Your Valkyries are competent. Their biotech may bear our influence, but it's become uniquely yours."
[Changguang]: "Exactly. People mock us for digging up relics of the Previous Era, but we've adapted them well."
[Vill-V]: "Judgement of Shamash in dual-pistol form… risky, but effective. Even Kevin rarely used it that way."
[Topaz]: "Impressive. Few planetary civilizations produce individuals this powerful. But then, most don't face skyscraper-sized monsters."
[Feixiao]: "If that girl's vengeance didn't endanger innocents… I'd almost admire her resolve."
[Xuanquan]: "Divine Keys, Herrschers, Beasts, Demons… So similar. Yet you are luckier. At least your struggle wasn't in vain…"
Inside the Reactor
With Theresa distracted, Sirin bathed in pure Honkai radiation.
"I… I can feel it! Power flowing into me!"
Her Honkai Beast companion twitched in sudden panic.
Anti-Entropy Observation Point
Tesla scoffed as she watched the battlefield.
"Schicksal's fools are completely pinned down. While they play with Beasts, she is draining the tower's energy."
Einstein suggested deploying Titan squadrons, but Welt shook his head, eyes fixed on Siegfried.
"Not yet. There's potential for negotiation."
Descending from the sky, Welt raised his hand—the Star of Eden pulsed crimson.
"Kneel. Vanish."
Crushing gravity engulfed the field. Hundreds of Honkai Beasts were pulverized to dust. Even Schicksal's Valkyries staggered under its weight.
When the storm subsided, Welt landed gracefully, two massive Anti-Entropy mechs flanking him.
Siegfried narrowed his eyes.
"That insignia… Anti-Entropy?!"
Weapons raised, tension surged—until terse negotiations forged a fragile alliance.
[Kosma]: "...Cool."
[March 7th]: "Descending like that? One gesture and—BOOM—army gone?! SO COOL!"
[Stelle]: "Encore, Mr. Yang!"
[Welt]:(sighs internally) "Was I really this edgy back then…?"
(A certain century-old man who once posed dramatically in shadows had no right to judge.)
