AN:the start of this chapter is a timeskip,if you want to know what happened with Seere in between the jump,go read @Kize-Seikato 's story to find out

_______________

Seere's POV
_______________

after an exhausting time at solving anomalies and problems in the Quantum Sea,I was finally able to finish as I returned to my universe,so I could continue to prepare Kiana for her confrontation with with the Herrscher of Thunder

the work took a bit longer than what I would have wanted as the situation of the anomaly became a lot more problematic as things went on,I somehow ended up faking my origins and entered St.Freya as a student and helped defend the school from Koreans,going up to a mission which brought us to a facility in the Philippines where we fought some giant Honkai Homu,rescued a child Benares Clone,gained the allegiance of the actual Benares and more

it was a real hectic ride,it was probably the most weird universe I've been to,resulting in Me even limiting my use of my Quantum Abilities to keep my charade up and resulting in Me taking a good few hits,that didn't really do much to Me

disregarding all of that though,the anomaly was eventually fixed and the safety and balance of the Quantum Sea was restored,once it was all over,I quickly rushed back to my own universe to start sorting things out there since there were the objectives we needed to get done there as well

I exited the Sea through a Rift I made,which brought Me straight to the front of HQ's main building as I made the Undine's Tale disappear from my hand and stretched a bit before entering the building,it was already late in the night considering that the moon and hundreds of stars were lighting up the sky as it appeared it took the entirety of the remainder of the day here to get the anomaly fixed

most of the base we're probably asleep now and that would include most of the Valkyries here,so I shouldn't have to worry about bumping into my squad or my Sister this late as I entered the building,once I entered the lobby,I was instead met with the unexpected sight of a person,I thought would already be asleep at this time

in the lobby,talking to the woman who was manning the lobby reception,was none other than Overseer Otto himself,he was handing a file to the woman before he turned to see as his expression turned into one of curiosity before he he hid both of his hands behind his back and walked towards me as I closed the door behind Me and walked towards him as well,knowing he probably wanted to know of where I've been 

Otto:well,well,look who's returned

Seere:safe your crap,old man,my Sister's probably told you already of where I've been

Otto:she has but no guarantee that she's lying and just covering for you

Seere:do you think I'd have her lie about my work,that involves the safety of many universes

Otto:you've tried so once before

Seere:and for good reason too

Otto:fair enough,care to talk about it then,things have been awfully boring since you came back

Seere:depends on you,I'm heading back to my room for the night,it's been a rough time with this anomaly

Otto:up the stairs is our path then

Me and Otto walked out of the lobby and made our way up the stairs as we started to climb the many stairs that took us to the upper floors,since taking the elevator was awfully boring and dull,dorm rooms for Valkyries in the HQ were all up at the 30th to 60th floor,all of these for the Valkyries alone,the staff were relegated their own building for the convenience of the dorm Masters as we made our way up

Otto:so then,what was the problem in the Sea this time,large rift opening?,Quantum Beast going berserk?,another Me toying with the forces if life and death?or perhaps a large scale problem that almost destroyed a universe

Seere:it was annoying but it wasn't that big of a problem,just some misplaced characters getting sent to different universes and the first pure life creation of the Sea in over 200 million years

Otto:oh?

Seere:yeah,some Deus Ex Machina or whatever he called himself was interfering with natural courses of a world,that also just so happened to have a misplaced soul,that wasn't supposed to be there

Otto:well,a 2 for 1 situation happened,I assume

Seere:if your talking about annoyances popping up,then yes,I had to find the universe of the misplaced guy and deal with that creation,that was messing a bunch of stuff up

Otto:any details on that creation,it sounds interesting

Seere:not "it","he",from what it looked like,the Sea took interest on a human,that was housing a Herrscher,but it's universe was destroyed,The Sea took its concept and made a kind of replica and placed it into its own universe and let it grow,at least,that's what I know so far,I'm still looking into it

Otto:very interesting,the Sea of Quanta,making its own creation instead of watching over the created ones 

Seere:the Sea does that sometimes,if it gets an idea,it'll try to add it or recreate one,it doesn't do that often though,so it's rare to see a Pure Life Creation from the Sea

Otto:are you going to keep an eye on this creation then?

Seere:I'll do some more investigation on it but probably won't monitor it,unless it proves to be dangerous for the Sea,then I'll have my other self keep watch

Otto:I see,at least,I know,you won't go missing for another few years again

Seere:hey,I have good opportunity to bond with my Sister after so long,don't think I'm just going vanish into thin air so easily

Otto:good then,because recently the Herrscher of Thunder and the Mercenary,Raven have been quite active

Seere:their making a move?

Otto:possibly,reports say,that they've been seen scouting the borders of the oceanic branch

Seere:they may be trying to leave

Otto:if they are,then our time may be running out and your plan still needs preparation

Seere:depending on how much control Kiana has over power by now,I think I can get her to voice out to her Herrscher by tomorrow,once that's done,we'll go after the 2,specifically Mei

Otto:so that's your plan,you're going to have the Ms.Kaslana and Ms.Raiden face off on equal footing,more specifically,both with controlled Herrscher powers

Seere:pretty much,I was there when Raiden went off with Kevin to join World Serpent,Kiana only lost due to her lack of control over her powers,if she succeeds to convincing her Herrscher,then the match is set

Otto:do you have a backup plan

Seere:I won't be surprised if Kevin sends more World Serpent to extract Mei and Raven,so of course I do

Otto:good then,one last thing though since we're nearing the dorms,considering you're putting a lot more effort into this than you usually put into your work here,what are you getting out of  all this

Seere:mmmmm,well,it's more so something for Benares,at her current strength you see,she's not quite strong enough to match some of the opponents I'd like to have her fight,so I'll be getting something to make her stronger

Otto:and do tell,what that is

Seere:you'll have to wait for and see to find out

Otto:I see,I do hope it's not something that melts buildings,it would be bad if another research facility were to turn into molten concrete all of a sudden

Seere:ok,in my defense,that was when I was a rookie and it only happened once

Otto:and it can happen again,I can assure you

I gave a low grumble at Otto's shots at Me as he brought up some mistakes I made in my rookie day's ain Shicksal as we reached the 34th floor,which is where my room was,I waved a goodbye to Otto once as we went our separate ways as he continued up the stairs while I went through the hallway

I navigated through the halls of the 34th floor until I reached my room as I reached for my keys in my pocket until I stopped as I noticed,that my room's door was open,I pulled my hand out of my pocket and used a bit of Quantum Energy in my eyes to see,inside my room without opening the door

I looked into my room and scanned the entirety of it for any sign of danger as I saw 2 small child like figures inside,fully knowing who the 2 figures inside were,I stopped using Quantum Energy through my eyes as I sighed before a small smile made its way on my face as I opened my door and entered the room

the lights in the room were off and my air conditioner was set to my favored settings as I closed the door behind me to keep the cold air from getting out while remaining as quiet as possible,on my bed,my Sister was laying quietly asleep on my bed as she had both her hand near her head,both above and underneath the pillow she was on as she quietly and contently slept

I could only give a small smile as I silently walked up to her and crouched down as I patted her head which quickly made her smile and get comfortable in her position,as Seele started to have good dreams,I turned to my side,still with my small smile as I looked over to my work desk,where I knew another girl was sitting

Seere:*whisper*come on out,I know you're there,Veliona

with a low tone click of her tongue in annoyance,Veliona showed her physical appearance to Me as she sat on my work desk with her legs crossed and both her hand supporting her up as she looked at Me with a bit of annoyance

Veliona:tch,what do you want

Seere:*whisper*no need to be rude or loud

Veliona:doesn't matter to Me

Seere:*whisper*are you sure,you know you can wake Seele up if you make too much noise

Veliona:tch.........

Seere:so,why are you two in my room

Veliona:well after you left her for your work,she spent the day with Bronya and that white haired idiot,she wanted to spend time with you though but you were at work,so when everyone went to sleep,she teleported out of her room,used some Energy to lock pick the door and then come here,she was going to stay up and wait for you,but she fell asleep

Seere:*whisper*I see,man,anomalies just can't give Me a break

Veliona:you could have not gone

Seere:*whisper*not an option

Veliona:..........

Seere:*whisper*what about you

Veliona:what about Me

Seere*whisper*:physically you don't need sleep but you still need rest,so why aren't you resting

Veliona:someone has to look after this gullible child,since you're not always here

Seere:*whisper*well,I'm here now,so why don't you rest,you can sleep right here,in between Me and Seele

Veliona:are you an idiot,you already said,that I don't need sleep

Seere:*whisper*you don't need it but it wouldn't hurt to have some

Veliona:well I don't want to,besides,I'm sure you'd probably want to be right next to your Sister anyway,I'd just be in the way of you two

Veliona looked away from Me with a convinced look on her face as I looked at her with a disappointed look on my face as I stood up and walked over to her,which confused her a bit as she watched me approach her

I lifted my hand up and slowly extended it out to her as she watched my hand get closer to her with confusion as I suddenly speed up and poke her forehead and flicked it which made her reel back and get somewhat angry as she recovered from the flick and looked at Me with a mad look on her face

Veliona:what was th-

I stopped her before she could start yelling as I grabbed her wrist and lifted it in between the 2 of us,which surprised her greatly,due to the fact,that she probably felt a full on physical touch instead of feeling energy touch her in her own visual physical form,since I fully materialized her physical form into the real world when I flicked her forehead to prove a point as she looked at Me with absolute surprise

Veliona:what did you-

Seere:listen to Me,Veliona,I wouldn't have made the suggestion if you were going to get in the way

Veliona:but why,after-

Seere:after everything you did?,remember,despite what you did,you only had the best intentions for Seele,you were misunderstood and you didn't fully understand,what Seele wanted,so don't let the past drag you down

Veliona:but-

Seere:"but" doesn't matter,Veliona,no matter,what you did back then,you're just as much as a Sister to Me as Seele is,now come on,it's getting late

I moved away from Veliona as I stood up straight while letting go of her wrist to hold her hand as I motioned and prompted her to get off the table and move to the bed,so we all could get some sleep as it was getting really late in the night

Veliona looked at Me with unsure expression as she looked down for a few seconds before silently hopping off the table as she walked over to the bed while I slowly let go of her hand so she could get in,she moved and layed down in the middle of the bed and got comfortable as I followed her in and layed down on the edge,next to the wall as I also got comfortable 

I then quickly sat up and pulled up the blanket,that I don't normally use,so the 2 wouldn't get cold in the night,before I layed down again and turned to my side as I began to pat both,Veliona's and Seele's head to help them sleep and to sleep with good dreams  as I alternated between the two of them

Seere:*whisper*see,this isn't so bad,is it

Veliona:*whisper*I.........guess not

Seere:*whisper*have a good night sleep then

Veliona:*whisper*what about when Seele wakes up in the morning?

Seere:*whisper*you don't want her to see you like this?

Veliona:.........

Seere:*whisper*look,if you want her to see you like this,that's up to you,if you don't,that's also up to you,depending what you choose,that is what she will see and know

Veliona*whisper*:..............ok

Seere:good,then let's get some sl-

before I could finish,I sensed,that Veliona fell asleep as I smiled lowly while I petted both of their heads 1 more time before I myself tucked in and closed my eyes as I slowly drifted off to sleep as well,to pass the night until morning came

Timeskip brought to you by this question(who is the better Brother,Ladon or Seere,comment your answer)

once morning came,I hoped for a peaceful wake up and a good morning to start off the day as I was still laying in my bed,more than half a sleep,Veliona was still beside Me,along with Seele as I could sensed the 2 using each other as hug pillows,judging by their positions as I was on my back facing the ceiling

it was starting off as I had hoped for,until it wasn't as my door for the 2nd time,since I've returned to Shicksal,was kicked open with such force,I thought a grenade had gone off as I quickly sat up,wide awake as I opened 3 Quantum Rifts,ready to fire pure spikes of Quantum Energy into any hostiles,rendering anyone,that would get hit,completely crippled and soon to die in less than 2 hours unless properly treated

surprisingly and luckily,the loud sound hadn't woken up the 2 girls in my bed as they continued to sleep peacefully next to each other while I looked to my now open door to see,who had the audacity to wake Me up so early in the goddamn morning 

as I looked through my open door to see,that no one was there,even though there was someone,more specifically were some people there as they we're taking cover behind the wall,that did not really protect them from Me as I could sense their Honkai Energy and fire the spikes,straight through the wall

Seere:unless you want to die through the most painful way possible,which is Me forcing Quantum Energy into your bodies and having it slowly destroy every cell and atom in your body which you can do nothing about,while you feel the pain of it 7 times the normal sensitivity,then I suggest you come out of hiding and explain why you're waking Me up this early in the morning

I waited a few seconds as i was itching to fire one of the spikes but before I did,a hand popped out from behind the wall,holding a small white flag as the person holding it slowly came out from behind the wall to reveal itself to be,Kiana

soon enough,the rest of them came out of hiding and tried to fit themselves in the view of the door frame as I could see Bronya,Theresa,Himeko,Durandal and Rita all outside my room as I gave them all a very irritated and agitated look while I closed the Quantum Rifts I made while continuing to glare at them

Seere:you all better have some good reasons for waking me up this early without warning,or might be feeding a few people to my Quantum Shadows

Theresa:*whisper*I told you not to kick the door

Kiana:*whisper*I didn't know he was still asleep,I thought all Shicksal Elites were already awake by 1:00 in the morning

Seere:and what made you think,that Elites like Me would be up by 1:00 in the morning,do tell

Kiana:uu-uhh,you see,uh,Durandal said all S-Shicksal Elites were u-up by 1:00 i-in the morning for training

Seere:did she now?

Durandal:hey,don't drag me into this,it was your idea to kick the door,Kaslana

Kiana:you were the one to say,that he'd be awake,plus-

Seere:why.are.you.all.here

Bronya:Subject Major Himeko,said we should get a early start on more preparation,so we woke everyone up but couldn't find Subject Seele,so we came to wake you up and maybe find her here

Seere:goddammit,and you girls couldn't wait until like 4:00 or 5:00 at least

Himeko:look,we're running out of time here,we got the report about Raven and Mei,we need to pick up the pace

Seere:ugh-

I scratched my head in annoyance and irritation as I knew they weren't going to let up on this topic so easily,knowing this,there wasn't much I could do without accidentally waking up the 2 girls beside Me,so i just gave in to their request for,what I assumed was going to be more training 

Seere:fine,go get the extra large platform up outside and set strength to the maximum so we don't break it by accident mid training,I'll meet you all out there in a few minutes 

Theresa:great,we'll see you out there

Bronya:da Bronya will see Subject Seere there later

Durandal:do not take long,time is of the essence

Seere:yeah,yeah,just go

they all soon left as Himeko closed the door before she left as I was left to be the only one awake in the room as I stretched and yawned off my drowsiness off,I gently and silently got off the bed,as to not wake up,Veliona or Seele up as they seemed to be still enjoying their sleep as I stood up and stretched again

I turned around and looked at my Sister and her other self,peacefully oblivious as to what was happening around them,Veliona seemed content and happy as she layed in bed as I could only smile,knowing that for once she was feeling content and happy

I crouched down and gave the 2 a kiss on the forehead and a gentle pat on the head before I stood back up and took off my jacket as I opened a somewhat small Quantum Rift and tossed my jacket into it,I then reached my arm into the rift as I pulled out a completely identical and clean jacket out of the rift before it closed as I quickly put it on and fixed on Me

I lightly grasped the necklace I always wore and held it with a gentle hold for a just a few seconds before I let it go and walked towards my door as I opened it and exited the room,as I exited,I looked at the two,one last time before I closed the door behind Me and walked towards the stairs 

as I made my way down the stairs,I started to think of a few ways,I would hold off the Herrscher of the Void while Kiana would try to convince the Herrscher inside of her,since all I needed to do was stall for time 

it wouldn't and was not hard for Me to stop her or stall for time,it wasn't hard for Me to contain her in confined space either,my mere presence being there already limited many of her powers and abilities and if I really wanted to,I could limit it even more to the point,where she'd be a normal human but that wouldn't be ideal as she may realize that I was only buying time Kiana to gain full control 

on the bright side,it was guaranteed that she wouldn't be able to escape the only problematic part left would be is,could Kiana really convince her Herrscher to relinquish all the power to her and,if she couldn't,how could we help her if she needed it

the only logical option I could really come up with was to enter her mind and help her from there but unfortunately,that would drastically leave Me vulnerable to attacks and even with the powers of a Guardian of the Quantum Sea,getting hit by a small Void Implosion still hurt like getting hit with multiple Honkai Fission Missiles,which I can survive

in the end as I reached the bottom floor and headed outside,I came to the conclusion,that we would just have to leave all the talking to Kiana as there was simply no way for Me to help her from the inside or out,I could intern send her friends but doing that needs a lot of constant focus,which fighting a Herrscher needs as well

eventually,I dropped the thought as I reached the area where training platforms could be formed as I jumped high into the air and landed on a solid energy platform,that was high up in the air,on it,where all the girls in the squad I was part of,plus Durandal and Rita for whatever reason,they were here

Kiana and Durandal we're going at each other while the others we're silently watching them and also talking about their argument as I approached them,until they eventually realized,that I had arrived as Kiana and Durandal stopped fighting while they all turned to look at Me

Durandal:oh,look who finally arrived

Seere:to be fair,it's way too early for this,considering that the fucking moon and stars are still in the sky

Rita:we need a head start for today as suggested by the Overseer himself

Kiana:yeah,I need to master these powers so I can save Mei 

Seere:to be fair,mastering those powers are just so you can have a chance of fighting her on equal footing,it doesn't really help you save her

Kiana:still it-

Bronya:does Subject Seere have complaints about training at this time

Seere:not really,I started training at times earlier than this during my training to be a Guardian,sometimes I didn't even sleep and went days just training

Theresa:so why complain now

Seere:doing Guardian work is exhausting stuff,especially since I had to deal with more immature versions of you all from another Universe

Himeko:wait what,you what-

Seere:I met versions of you from Squad 6's original days at St.Freya but that's another story for another time

Durandal:what kind of training do you have in mind to help them then

Seere:first off,why are you and Rita here,you're not part of Squad 6

Rita:ah,Overseer Otto has added us and the Immortal Blades to assist in the capture and return of the Herrscher of Thunder

Durandal:something about,to help with the possibly needed crowd control and to deal with possible World Serpent reinforcements

Seere:well I had that covered already but sure,why not I guess

Theresa:so,what do we need to do

Seere:simple,we need Kiana to prepare to convince her Herrscher self to give her the Herrscher powers,we need Himeko's Honkai disease gone or at most minimized,so she can fight without problems-

Himeko:who told you that!!

Seere:relax,no one did,I just know more than you think,anyways,Bronya needs a better cannon or better mastery of her own Herrscher powers-

Bronya:did Subject Seere get this info from Mr.Welt

Seere:no,since I'm the Guardian of the Quantum Sea,it's also my job to watch over and occasionally help the Guardians of the normal world,so I've been keeping track of what's been going on with all of you

Durandal:so you've been keeping a secret eye on all of us this whole time?

Seere:it's my job after all,because some of you tend to do things,they aren't supposed to

Kiana:hehe......

Durandal:what are you implying

Seere:don't play dumb,do you honestly think the Guardian of the Sea of Quanta wouldn't realize a whole bubble universe was missing from the Sea

Durandal quickly realized,what it was I was implying as she turned away with a slightly embarrassed look as I gave her a sly and smug smirk,knowing that I had the caught the culprit of the missing Bubble Universe mystery

Seere:when this mission is over,we're going to have a long talk about your crimes

Durandal:y-yeah

Seere:anyway,we also need you to plainly get stronger along with Theresa,Fu Hua and Rita,so you all have a chance at standing up to some World Serpent Elites,apart from that,we're all really just banking that Kiana can convince her Herrscher self

Kiana:don't worry,I can do it,I just need a little bit more time,I'm getting there

Seere:let's hope you're right,cuz training is about to begin-

I summoned the Undine's Tale into my hand before I let the handle rest on my shoulder as I gave the girls a smug and confident smirk which quickly prompted them to reach for their weapons as I began to move forward at a slow pace

Seere:you're all going to fight Me while I mess all of your heads,I'm not going to go easy,so you'll be seeing your nightmares,your fears,everything you don't want to see while you fight Me,this way,I can train your minds and your bodies at the same time

Durandal:hah,wouldn't have it any other way

Kiana:bring it on

Seere:I'll warn you all now right before we start,I can show you what you want the most and rip away from you the moment you get close

Timeskip brought to you by Seere bonking Sirin with a bat

I fought the girls for about 3 hours straight,they weren't able to land a single hit on Me,even after Kiana and Bronya had entered their Herrscher forms,they clearly still lacking experiences and training with those powers but with due time,they should grasp the entire concept to use it's full potential

Theresa,Himeko,Rita and Durandal we're plainly strong but definitely could be stronger,though they did it silently and without a word,they seemed to collectively agreed,that it would be more effective for them to act as supports for both Bronya and Kiana as they continuously made openings and opportunities for the 2

Fu Hua as quite a special case as she acted a hybrid between the attacker and supporter,often going in to attack then quickly switching to support to help the others,then quickly switching again to attack,which actually made her a somewhat difficult opponent

despite these facts and all of their best attempts,it still wasn't enough for them to even land a hit on Me,simply put,like most,they couldn't find a work around the illusions,I was using against them,often falling for some of them and getting confused by the others,there were even a few tears shed because of some I had brought up,which served as somewhat good fuel for them to give them motivation to take Me down

but,after everything was said and done,we called the fight a draw and I offered them all some breakfast,where I would cook for them,so we all could rest and have some food,since none of us had eaten,which they immediately agreed too with no objections

we all went to the cafeteria which was completely devoid of people and staff since it was only 4:00 in the morning and all the cafeteria staff wouldn't be up until 30 minutes later,the girls sat down at whatever table they wanted while I headed straight to the kitchen to make everyone breakfast 

using my amazing skills in cooking and cooking shortcuts I learned from the memories of my ancestors,I made everyone breakfast within only 5 minutes as I now had 9 plates of pancakes,generously flavoured with syrup and shaped to look like the Shicksal logo 

I lifted up 8 of the plates and covered the other one as I used my powers to levitate the plates of food as I brought them over to the girls,who were eagerly waiting for their breakfast,Kiana already had a bit of drool going down her mouth as she held her knife and fork while I placed down the plates in front of everyone as they simply looked with slight awe 

Theresa:this looks amazing!

Himeko:how did you get all of this done in just 5 minutes

Rita:you must teach Me these techniques

Seere:it's just pancakes,nothing special in them,as for the time it took,it's a bunch of Vollerie cooking shortcuts I inherited from my ancestors,which was given to Me by the Sea of Quanta

Bronya:da Bronya knows,that this will be very good

Fu Hua:yes,with skills like Seere's and Shicksal's always fresh ingredients,meals such as these are to be expected

Seere:dig in then,we'll need to get back to training as soon as possible

Kiana:then let's eat!!

Kiana was first to start eating as she took a big chunk out of the pancakes she had,the rest quickly followed suit as we all began to eat breakfast,as we ate,I rifted a fer mugs and glasses for everyone and poured in coffee,tea and milk straight from the Quantum Sea for everyone,Durandal picked up her mug and inspected it for a few seconds  before turning to Rita who also was looking at her cup of tea as they both looked at Me with a bit of concern

Seere:something the matter?

Rita:is this safe to drink?

Seere:what is,your coffee and tea

Durandal:yes,it did come from the Sea of Quanta and I can only assume this came from pure Quantum Energy

Seere:ah right,no need to worry,it's safe,once Quantum Energy fully materializes into something,it's harmful effects completely nullify,so any food or drinks made from the sea if perfectly edible and good

the 2 looked at Me,still a bit concerned for a second before Durandal drank some of her coffee as she tasted her drink to see if it was good enough for her taste while Rita did the same for her tea,soon enough she lightly nodded in affirmation,probably finding the coffee good enough as she took another bite of her pancakes

it was a pretty peaceful breakfast in contrast to what I originally thought would happen as everyone simply enjoyed the food I prepared for them,but soon enough,the peacefulness was broken as Kiana up front asked the hard hitting questions,that everyone was probably wondering about 

Kiana:so Seere

Seere:what is it

Kiana:two things,first,you said we'd need Aunt Himeko's Honkai Infection gone or at least weakened,right?,how are we going to do that

Seere:simple,I'm going to pass some Quantum Energy through her

Himeko:WHAT!?!?

Theresa:isn't that a bit dangerous

Bronya:da,wouldn't that cripple Major Himeko

Seere:on the contrary,as long as I control the energy in her,she'll be fine and with the Quantum Energy's nature,it won't be hard to kill off that Honkai infection

Fu Hua:nature?

Seere:think of it like a food chain,Quantum Energy is the natural predator of Honkai Energy,if the 2 Energys clash,the Honkai Energy would be completely disintegrated instead of turning into fragments or dust,that is unless,the Honkai Energy is standing stronger than the Quantum Energy

Theresa:HOLD ON??,that means you're basically a walking Honkai disintegrator

Seere:pretty much,that's why fighting Herrschers or sealing their powers are no problems for Me,just by standing around,I'm killing the Honkai Energy around and in them,severely weakening them

Himeko:wait,then why aren't we weakening?

Seere:simply because I don't want you to,Quantum Energy is at my command and will,it does what I want exactly as I want it to,it took a while to master it though,I almost killed some A-Ranks Valkyries back then through draining them of Honkai Energy while I was just buying stuff at a market

Durandal:you are beyond dangerous,more so than the Overseer let's us know

Seere:he always keeps his lips sealed,no matter who it is

Kiana:well,if that's how you're going to cure Aunt Himeko,then what's your plan for Me to convince my Herrscher self

Seere:my plan to convince your Herrscher self?,I don't really have one

Everyone:WHAT!!!!!!!!

Theresa and Durandal slammed their fists on the table,making the plates bounce a bit as they stood up from their seats and leaned towards me with a very angry expression as I leaned away to avoid our faces from hitting

Theresa & Durandal:WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN

Seere:well,the plan is to trap Me and Kiana in an energy dome,I'd fight the Herrscher of the Void while she'd talk it out with her Herrscher self

Fu Hua:you're not going to help her!?

Seere:I can't do a lot about that matter,if I'm going to fight the Herrscher I can't help her in her mind,both tasks take extreme focus and I can't focus on both

Fu Hua:what about Me,I can enter her mind and assist her there

Seere:unlikely,the Energy Shield we're using is built to keep energy in and out,it's so I don't accidentally kill any of you while I drain the Herrscher of her power,that means,you probably won't be able to use your own abilities to enter Kiana's mind

Rita:what if she was inside the shield

Seere:do you want the Herrscher to turn her inside out?,unless you expect Me to carry her by piggyback the entire fight,which I'm not,she's going to be absolutely demolished 

Durandal:so we actually can't help her

Seere:pretty much

Kiana:doesn't matter,I can do this

Bronya:is the Idiotka sure

Theresa:are you sure about this Kiana,we could take some more time to find a way

Himeko:don't be hasty about this Kiana

Kiana:I'm sure,I'll show that Herrscher who's boss

Seere:well,she has the charisma and confidence,so she already has a good head start,are you really sure about this Kaslana,are you ready to face your demons

Kiana:born ready

Timeskip brought to you by everyone hugging Mei while Kiana suplexes Kevin

hours later,we were now about 3 hours from the middle of the day,after breakfast,all the time between then and now was used for more training and preparations for the whole matter as the whole elite force of Shicksal that was available on the base was brought in to help with security incase the Herrscher does manage to get away from Me

mechs and Heimdall were also stationed in key points incase the herrscher escapes and a few Valkyries from St.Freya were also ordered to join the security teams,Squad 6,Durandal and Rita were on the edge of the base while Me and Kiana were already on the massive platform,that was generated far away from the base

4 whole fusion core generators on the base we're going to be used to sustain and power the shield,that would form around us as Kiana was readying herself while I calmly waited for the green light from the base for us to begin

Seere:nervous?

Kiana:nope,not all

Seere:good,then listen up,because this is what's about to go down,you'll let the Herrscher of the Void take control of your body and I'll fight her here,while I do that,you'll have to convince the consciousness of the Herrscher to surrender the power to you

Kiana:understood

Seere:good,we don't have a lot of time here,Mei and Raven could get on the move whenever so we need to be somewhat fast on this,can you handle it

Kiana:I'm a Kaslana,I can handle anything,bring it on

Seere:alright goodluck when we start,if it comes down to it,just kick her ass

Kiana:oh I know,I was going to start with that

we shared a good small laugh between each other before we heard our communicator go off as we both picked up and heard Otto's voice on the other side

Otto:are you both ready

Kiana:never been more ready

Seere:as ready as we're getting,put up the shield when everything's good over there

Otto:your Sister is not going to like what your doing,especially since you didn't tell her

Seere:as long as you keep her over there and not over here,I won't kick your ass

Otto:yeah,yeah,we're putting the shield up now,good luck to the both of you

as soon he said so,a shield made purely of high powered energy and some Honkai Energy began to construct around us as it made a massive dome,that covered the entire platform we were on and as soon as the dome closed,we lost all communications with the base and were now secluded

I signalled Kiana,that we were ready to begin as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath while I watched her Honkai Energy grow from within her at exponential rate,rising to levels,that were normal for Herrschers

as her energy grew,her form began to change as well as she opened her eyes to reveal dull orange eyes while her white haired flowed from the energy she was beginning to release,her clothes then began to change as Kiana's previous clothes were turned into a white and black dress of sorts,made of Honkai parts with pink glowing lining,her arm was the covered in black Honkai armor with pink lining and a hair pin formed on her head as she then gained 3 energy like wings and 3 lance like weapons,made of Honkai parts

she began to float in the air as her dress extended out into 6 directions,giving her clothes wavy extensions,that had eye like movement at the ends as she stared down at Me with a unimpressed look and a scowl of disgust on her face while I smugly and confidently smirked at her from the platform

???:so you show your face to Me again,a pathetic worm,showing off it's confident smile before the Queen of Honkai,you are beyond foolish and disgusting

Seere:good to see you to,Sirin,it's been a while since I had seen you out here in the real world,was the imaginary space of Kiana's mind pleasant

Sirin:you dare talk to Me as if we are equals,worm

Seere:oh we're are my manners,I forgot I can't address those of different standings as Me with equal terming,we're not equals afterall,clearly I am beyond superior to you

Sirin:you dare talk to Me in such ways,you insolence,impudence and stupidity are beyond those of normal humans

Seere:let's cut the idle insults and banter,you already have an idea of who I am after all

Sirin:all I see is the insect that ruined my plans in the past and the same insect that will be squashed here like any other insect

Seere:wow,I was remembered by the Queen of the Honkai,what.a.honor,truly 

the so called Queen of the Honkai gave a low growl at Me and my mocking tone as I took notice of the multiple small but volatile spheres of Honkai Energy,that were pure spheres from the Void,that at command or contact with,could explode and deal massive damage to anything

clearly agitated by my mocking words,a few portals opened up and faced towards Me as my smirk grew wider,right before multiple Void Lances were fired from the portals as I summoned the Undine's Tale and deflected the lances,sending them falling onto the platform just to dissipate into energy 

I looked up to the Herrscher and gave her my most confident smirk as I rested my scythe on my shoulder while Sirin quadrupled the amount of portals she had and started her barrage of attacks as lances flew at Me at high speed ,exploding on impacts as I evaded the attacks with ease as I yawned and patted my mouth while I dodged just to piss her off even more

it was this point,where she began to make Void explosions of her own while lances continued to fire from her portals as I started to dodge her explosions as well,still finding little threat in her attacks as I started doing 360 degree spins while dodging to add some difficulty,pissing her off even further as she began to grit her teeth in anger

she then began to open more portals and fired more lances at me while also making portals,that brought in some Honkai Beasts,like Chariots,Archangels and Jormungandrs,things that still posed little danger to Me as I summoned 3 Quantum Shadows,that mimicked the look of chariots as they charged in to attack the Honkai Beasts 

with the clear difference in power,my Quantum Shadows completely demolished the Honkai Beasts as I continued to dodge Sirin's attacks,that were progressively getting more and more chaotic and random as it looked like her patience's was already running thin and it had only been round 30 minutes of Me dodging

Seere:time sure does fly,it's already been 30 minutes but it felt like 2-3 minutes

Sirin:stand still then,so I can kill you

Seere:the chances of that happening are as fat as your Honkai Beasts

she began to mix things up as the pattern of her portals and the sequence they were firing in,which both I was following was thrown out the window as Sirin had both the sequence and aim of the portals thrown off as they began to fire randomly and at random places all over the platform

despite the sudden and random change,it was still very easy for me to dodge her attacks,despite her immense power,she wasn't very creative,relying too much on her sheer power to win battles,as I said that though,she began to construct small beams of Honkai cubes around Me,making it trivially harder to move around freely

in a response,my Quantum Shadows,that were unfazed from getting hit by a Void lance charged at Sirin and tried to hit her as her focus was taken away as she dodged the attacks,giving Meso breathing room as I stopped for a few seconds since no lances were heading straight for Me and Sirin was occupied with my Void Shadows

I ordered the Shadows back in the Quantum Sea before Sirin could do her little super move and blow them into dust as she kept a large store of Honkai Energy in her hand and discharged it through a snap of her fingers,blowing anything in it's blast radius into the Void itself

Seere(mind):still got to be careful about that snap,if I get sent to the void,I might not make it back in time to weaken her powers,so she can't escape,also,I wonder if Bella knows what's happening,better apologize for mocking her Queen like this

I continued to dodge and entertain the fight for another 30 minutes and we were now 2 hours from the middle of the day and I was beginning to worry if Kiana was alright,I was going to bring in more Quantum Shadows to add more to the 5 I had brought in a little earlier but I stopped after 1 of those Shadows,that looked like and Archangel Honkai pointed to Sirin,making Me realize something

I was too focused on Kiana possibly failing and also dodging,that i didn't realize that Sirin was slowing down,drastically,4/5ths of her portals were gone,she stopped making Void explosions on her own and she stopped making those Honkai constructs

that was obviously a good sign,meaning she was weakening but it was also a bad sign since that would mean,she may purposely switch with Kiana to restore her energy,which would make this fight pointless and a waste of time as I began to worry,since that's something I can't interfere with 

soon enough,I realized,that there was no sound of attacks anymore as I looked over to see all of the portals closed while Sirin fell to her knees while looking down to the platform as she heavily breathing on the ground,I motioned my Quantum Shadow's to follow Me and approach carefully as we made our way to Sirin,who was still on the ground

I stopped approaching just in front of her as she still continued to sit on the ground,I kneeled down to her level and tried to look at her face,without warning however,she lifted her face which held a very angered expression as I realized,I fell for a simple trap as multiple Void lances formed above Me and quickly went straight for my head and neck

however,they never managed to get to me,despite my readiness to evade them as they stopped moving before they could even get close,I looked at the lances float in the air as they broke back into energy before I looked over to Sirin who still had a very angry look on her face but now had one of her eyes as blue 

this was a good sign as I gave her a smirk and relaxed a bit as I approached Sirin's face with a wide smirk

Seere:looks like you lose

Sirin:tch............

Seere:face it,it's time for you to-

Sirin:NOT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!

once again,without warning,Sirin grabbed Me by the jacket as I felt the large amount of Honkai Energy travel through her arm and quickly around Me as I felt myself forcefully be shifted somewhere else as it took Me a quick second to realize where I had been sent

I floated in an infinite plane of darkness as I felt a large amount of Honkai Energy around me at all times,I had been sent into the Void itself,I sensed many large signatures of Honkai Energy,which were most likely creatures of the Void,that sense and hunger for my energy 

unfortunately for them and Sirin,I had no problems leaving the Void as being the Guardian of the Quantum Sea allowed Me free unrestricted access through many dimensions and universes as I simply cut a Quantum Rift into the Void,that led back to the platform 

before I jumped in though,I noticed a stranger signature of Honkai Energy,that didn't seem to belong in the void,I looked over and saw a strange sight of 2 wisps,floating beside each other,holding large Honkai Energy,immediately,I understood,what those 2 wisps were

Seere(mind):so this is where the 2 went after they died,better keep this in mind for Otto and Sarah

once concluding what those were,i jumped into the rift and closed it behind Me to make sure no more Honkai Energy leaked into the world as I fell back onto the platform,I quickly scanned my surroundings and found Sirin,still on the ground as I readied myself to fight but after closer inspection,I realized,that it was Sirin in front of Me

instead,Kiana was the one to turn her head towards Me with  few tears going down her eyes as she wore Sirin's outfit,I breathed a sigh of relief while she looked at Me with shock as if she couldn't believe what she's seeing as I approached her while she dried her tears

Seere:Kiana

Kiana:Seere......how are you here,you were-

Seere:sent to the void,I know,you can't expect the Guardian of the Quantum Sea to be stuck in the Void forever can you,I mean come on,I jump between universes for a living

Kiana:I thought I killed Seele's brother,thank god

Seere:you'll need a lot more to kill Me,besides,no point crying here,save your tears for when you catch that Thunder Herrscher of a friend of yours

Kiana:of course,I won't fail

Seere: we know you won't or else Himeko might clobber you

soon enough,our Communications came back online as the shield around us dropped while our communicators activated while I picked up to answer Otto,who was on the other side

Otto:Seere:,what happened,is everything alright there

Seere:everything is fine

Otto:what of Ms.Kaslana and the Herrscher,did we succeed

Seere:let's just say........Shicksal is 2-1 on World Serpent in terms of Herrschers and we're going to make 3-0 soon

Author:and that's going to be that Chapter guys,I do hope you all enjoyed it as my arms really feel numb right now,next chapter,we'll probably be seeing Mei soon enough but that's for the future to know,apart from that,I hope you all look forward to the next one,until next time
