Deep within the Sea of Quanta, a group of people wandered around aimlessly.
Finally, her patience seemingly exhausted, Veliona impatiently glared at Snow, who was completely lost in thought as she took on the role of a leisurely visitor, and asked her daily question:
"Hey, hey, hey, Great Golden God... What about the person who was supposed to pick us up?"
"We've been wandering around here for half a month already. Are you even capable of this?"
Long-haired Seele, her hands on her hips, stared angrily at Snow, forming a stark contrast with the timid, short-haired Seele.
"So impatient... In our world, on the ancient land of Shenzhou, there's a saying: 'Haste makes waste.' Or rather, 'You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry...'"
The Great God, who was asked this question every day, merely showed a gentle smile, looking helplessly at the girl in front of her.
And Veliona, who couldn't stand the kind of gaze a mother gives her child, admitted defeat again, shrinking her neck and starting to kick crabs and slash jellyfish to vent her anger.
"Mainly there are only this few people here. This little version of me shrinks back all day and takes ages just to ask a question, and you just won't take the initiative to speak!"
"I'm bored to death!"
Veliona, who again kicked a crab away in a fit of rage, complained loudly. If they kept walking like this, she would probably really go crazy from boredom...
"Ah... someone seems to be waiting impatiently already..."
Ignoring the complaints of long-haired Seele beside her, Snow seemed to notice something and looked at the bizarre Sea of Quanta above her head...
"The gods are the ultimate manifestation of change, the source of all things, and cannot be described in form..."
"Haha, another 'me,' this time you are one move short—"
With a faint smile, the blonde girl raised her hand and gently clenched it toward the sea above her head...
An unknown storm began to gather near the Eye of the Deep on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The Honkai Beasts active nearby seemed to be summoned and were converging toward the Sea of Quanta...
-
"Sister Snow, what did you mean by that just now?"
In the Sea of Quanta, short-haired Seele looked curiously at the blonde goddess who seemed to have done something to the outside world, and mustered her courage to ask.
"Ah... that line... A god symbolizes the ultimate limit of all changes in the world; they do not exist in a specific, objective material form..."
Lowering her gaze, the blonde goddess explained to the girl with a faint smile.
"Eh? Does it have some special meaning that you suddenly recited that?"
Short-haired Seele continued to press curiously.
"Hmm, not really... It just means you'll be able to go home soon... And the other you, the big version, will finally have someone to talk to."
With a mysterious smile, Snow shook her head at Seele, delivering some good news for the two of them...
In Jackal's laboratory, a vial of golden potion flashed once while no one was paying attention, seemingly conveying some unknown message.
The abstract and nihilistic concept known as [ Blood of God ] was materialized and simultaneously endowed with an even more special significance:
The extension of the God [ Infinity ].
Through the golden potion placed in the World Serpent's laboratory, azure eyes indifferently swept across a corner of a certain plan and immediately deduced its full picture.
"So this is your plan... Imhotep?"
Snow stood silently on one side of the geometric structure, seemingly lost in thought...
"To carve the fate of civilizations and races onto the Golden Tree... and thereby achieve an 'Eternal' Continuation..."
"Who was, who is, and who will ever be..."
"But... greed comes with an extra price to pay—"
"My other self... Let me see the so-called human resolve and that faith shining as brilliantly as gold."
-
"What! An Anti-Entropy underwater research ruin in the Pacific has been attacked by a massive amount of Honkai Beasts?"
Theresa, who had just straightened out her own relationship with Durandal and Kiana and settled her mind, heard another piece of explosive news.
"That's right, Lady Theresa. The two Executors stationed at that research ruin by Anti-Entropy have sent requests for help to both the Anti-Entropy headquarters in the Americas and to us."
"Lady Theresa, how should we respond?"
"Sigh... Let Kyuusyou and the others go there again—"
Theresa looked at the mountain of documents beside her and the gaze of her Adjutant behind her, which seemed to say, If you dare slip away from here, I'll kill all your Homu figures, and helplessly suppressed the idea of going out herself once again—
"Snow Apocalypse, where are you? Hurry back and help me process these documents—"
The completely unaware Theresa still didn't know who the bastard was who had super-doubled her workload several times.
And in the Valkyrie Dormitory of the Schicksal headquarters in the distance, a sorrowful and indignant roar also echoed—
"Fucking hell, why the fuck is it me working overtime again?!"
Kyuusyou, wearing an "I knew you'd say that" expression, gestured to someone behind her and called in a woman who looked exactly like Theresa.
"Let me introduce her. This is Master Stargazer. Theresa, just think of her as yourself from another parallel world, a guest from the Sea of Quanta."
"Master Stargazer is extremely skilled at handling all this miscellaneous paperwork. She said she can cover your shift for a few days; so, Overseer Theresa—"
"Come with me to get some work done. I'll introduce you to some new friends—"
Using her height advantage, Kyuusyou lifted Theresa straight off her chair and rushed out, giving a quick wave to Stargazer, who was waving her feather fan, leaving only one sentence for the Adjutant and several clerical Valkyries in the office:
"I'm kidnapping Theresa. Go ask Master Stargazer about the rest—!"

The office fell into silence. The remaining group glanced at Theresa Unit-02, who had already taken the seat in the Overseer's Office and was composedly and effortlessly processing files. They thought for a moment as the pending documents vanished like snowflakes...
"There cannot be two suns in the sky. Only Master Stargazer, a single sun, shall reign in my heart!"
Shocking: Another Coup at Schicksal Headquarters! The Overseer Position of East Schicksal Changes Hands!
The few who didn't mind stirring up trouble had already started vividly composing The Onion-style news on the forum.
