A/N: It feels good to daily update again

Narrator POV

Y/N was inside the base room, as Welt and Theresa explained to him everything that happened

Welt: And that is everything that happened so far

Y/N: Huh... I knew there was something called World Serpent around the world, but to think they team up with Schicksal?

Theresa: Do you think you can handle it?

Y/N: Of course I can. But taking care of Schicksal and World Serpent might give me a little trouble

Welt: What do you mean?

Y/N: Otto might have a plan against me already. He knew the seal would break at one point, so when I come back, he would need a back-up plan

Welt: But you being here is a great thing. You are a good reason to not attack us frontly

Y/N: At the moment... I can beat both of them. But my priority right now isn't that. I need to make sure everyone stay safe. And since there's a lot of Herrschers remaining, I cannot do as I please

Theresa: So right now, you're stuck?

Y/N: I'm not. I just have to deal with every Herrscher left before going after these 2

Welt: Are you sure? Just the return of Sirin changed a lot around the world

Y/N: If I wasn't exhausted, and didn't had to save the world, I would have finished her in 3, no, 2 minutes

Theresa: Knowing your strengh, I cannot say you're just being cocky...

Y/N: Anyway! I have to check on my pay

Theresa: Oh, by the way. I talked with your manager, since they asked for you. They said you actually got employee of the year, and a bonus. Here's the letter

She hand him the paper, as he read it, as his eyes widened

Y/N: There's no way...

Timeskip

Kiana: ....

Bronya: ....

Theresa: ....

Y/N was seen floating in the air, like he just ascended

He was looking at the sky, dizzy

Y/N: Sorry, Manager. I'm not even angry for you right now. It's just that the world feels so, so wonderful when you have money....

He closed his eyes, before stabilizing himself, and look down, smiling

Y/N: Throughout Nagazora and Arc City, I alone am the overpaid one

Theresa: Get down, now

Y/N: Ok

He stopped floating, falling down on the ground, face first, and get up casually

Y/N: What's up?

Theresa: What were you doing even?

Y/N: I got a bonus, and holy Homu it's high

Bronya: And how much did you get?

Y/N: I got a bonus of 1000% on my salary. I'M NOT UNDERPAID ANYMORE I'M SO HAPPY!

He received a message on his new phone, as he read it

'The bonus was sent to the wrong person. You have a bonus of 5% instead'

Reading the message with him, Kiana and Bronya tried their best to hold back a laugh, while Theresa did laugh

Y/N: NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

He fell to his knees, holding his head, and crying

This was the last straw, as Kiana and Bronya bursted out laughing, tears in their eyes

Theresa pas this back, smiling

Theresa: Welcome to the world of adults, Y/N

Y/N looked down, letting a sigh, before getting up, and stretched

Kiana and Bronya calmed down, as they bid their farewell, so they could go and train

Y/N and Theresa were now alone, before Y/N perked up

Theresa: Is there something wrong?

Y/N: I can feel an Herrscher... But it's energy is weird... I'll go and check-out

Theresa: Be careful Y/N, if you need help, call for us

Y/N: If anyone come and try to help me, they just be in the way

Theresa: Always so cocky...

He smiled, before taking a deep breath and went to the scene

In mid air, he was smirking

Y/N: Let's see how well you hold against me, Herrscher of Rimestar

Timeskip

As Raiden Mei, Herrscher of Thunder and member of World Serpent, teamed up with Durandal, Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, they were now in front of the Herrscher of Rimestar

The Herrscher of Rimestar was a fusion between Ana Schariac, Herrscher of Ice, and Owl, Herrscher of Stars. Even though, it was Ana who stayed after their fusion

It's authority was overwhelming, and could be on par with the one of the Herrscher of the Void

Mei: Tch... It's tougher than expected... It'll be way too hard to land a blow like this

Durandal: We have to do it, still. Or else it will cause too much damage

The Herrscher power keep growing and growing, but you could understand it was mindless

Because it couldn't control it energy, and was letting it flowing around

But the stronger a light shine....

Alvitr: Squad Leader! Giantic Honkai energy source coming your way! Be careful for the impact!

Durandal: Another one?

The thing crashed on the ground, creating a shockwave, and instantly, the blizzard the Herrscher created was stopped

Out of the dust, the 2 warriors could clearly see a figure, standing up

The dust disappeard, as they could see Y/N, standing, with his usual smirk on his face

...The deadlier the beast will be attracted to it

Y/N: Yo. You really thought you all could throw a party without me? How rude

Durandal: You...?

Mei: Y-Y/N?

Y/N: Long time no see, Mei. I would like to talk with you for a bit, but as you can guess, there is someone that won't wait

The Herrscher cried, the blizzard growing stronger

Mei: Then, let us fight together then

Y/N: Ah, you must not know, but I have declared war to Schicksal and World Serpent. And so, if you're not with the group...

His smirk grew, his eyes glowing

Y/N: Then you're my enemy too! Let's see how well you master your Herrscher power now, Raiden Mei!

He took his stance, as Mei instantly understood, and so did the Herrscher of Rimestar

Y/N/Mei/Ana: Authority Expansion!

To prevent the city or the zone from collapsing, Y/N created a barrier around them, and lowered the power of his Authority so it wouldn't overpower theirs

2 Authorities clashing would cause great and permanent damage to the area hit by it

So 3 domain at once? The damages might be far too high, even for earth

But Y/N knew about it, so he changed the property of his barrier, so no Honkai energy would escape it, and only be absorbed, strenghening the barrier even more

But before the barrier could strenghen too much, the Divine Key, Abyss Flower, wielded by Durandal, destroyed the barrier

Ana tried to use her Honkai energy to attack them, but her ice cracked and shattered, shocking her

After an Authority, the honkai energy of the user become hazzy, meaning any technique become harder to use

And it means, the moment she did it....

Y/N: You know, you shouldn't be this open for me!

...Y/N instantly went at it, and take the chance

Y/N: Honkai Flash!

With a devastating punch to it's chest, the Herrscher roared in pain

And even though he just used an Authority, the Honkai Flash he just did....

Y/N: Reversed Honkai Technique....

Recovered all of his missing Honkai energy

Y/N: Red

A hole was made at her side, as Y/N smirked before doing a back flip, dodging the incomming Mei, who was rushing forward, to finish off the Herrscher of Rimestar

A blinding light happened, as a barrier created around Mei and Ana

Y/N turned back, scratching his back, and looked at Durandal

Y/N: Been a while I guess

Durandal: I have heard from the Overseer that you were sealed. But I wouldn't think you would be able to free yourself

Y/N: I'm just the best

She smiled, withdrawing her weapon

Durandal: I'll be taking my leave. Next time, I won't be so merciful

Y/N: Say hi to Rita for me

Durandal: I'll keep it in mind

She went off, as the barrier died down, and Mei was back

Y/N turned to her, arms crossed

Mei: I would really like to not fight you, Y/N

Y/N: What?

Mei: You did said we were enemies, right?

Y/N: Why would I fight a friend?

Mei: ....What?

Y/N: I did declare war to Schicksal and World Serpent, but not to you. I still see you as one of my closed ones

He picked his nose, casually

Y/N: You're as dumb as Kiana somtimes

Somewhere, a certain Tuna sneezed

Mei looked at him, before laughing, holding her face

But Y/N could see tears falling from her eyes

Mei: W-When we learnt you got sealed, it was hell.... Between Schicksal, the Honkai, and finding Kiana.... It was hard.....

Y/N smiled, before walking to her, and ruffle her hair

She looked at him, as she saw him smiling widely, like he always did

Y/N: Now that I'm back, everything will be back to normal!

Her eyes widened, before she wiped her eyes, and nodded

Mei: Yes... Everything will be ok from now on

They high fived, both going their own way, as Y/N smirked

Y/N: I'll handle all the problems ahead, so keep moving forward

Mei: I will. So please, keep looking after her

Y/N: That's what I've been doing since day one

Timeskip

Y/N was back on the Hyperion, and the first thing he was going for was.....

Procrastinating

Y/N: Such a good feeling to stay home while being paid... Days off might be the greatest thing mankind made

Welt: On that, we can agree

They both let out a sigh, and after a few seconds....

Y/N/Welt: I'm bored

Welt: Do you know of Arahato?

Y/N: That famous anime? Yeah, but never watched it

Welt: Do you wish to see it?

Y/N: Hell yeah

And such, started the friendship between Y/N and Welt

Chapter 17: Finished

A/N: In the next chapter! The loneliness that comes with unrivaled strengh. Even the strongest have feelings

'Chapter 18: Care'

Y/N: And such is my curse, as being the strongest
