Honkai City, Starting by Creating an Anime Version of Honkai

Cecilia was also helpless.

"Black box! Black box! Ziegfried, you're dead to me!!!"

Theresa's miserable wails echoed through the St. Freya Academy dormitories once more.

"Damn old man, how can he be so cool!!!"

Kiana leaned on Mei's shoulder.

The scene shifted to Tesla's helpless, pretty face.

She pointed out the dangers sharply: Ziegfried and his team were already tied down by the Honkai Beasts, which would give 'that person' time to absorb energy. Welt rejected her plan to order Rook Team to storm the Tower of Babylon, intending to have a good talk with Ziegfried.

Ziegfried suddenly sensed something was wrong. The previously rampaging Honkai Beasts had slowed down. He quickly ordered Shub, who was about to charge into the fray, to return.

"That's... a human?!"

Ziegfried stared in shock at Welt in mid-air.

Welt's eyes had turned purplish-red, and a black orb in his hand was emitting black-red lightning-like beams. He looked down haughtily at the three people and the horde of Honkai Beasts below.

"Kneel."

At Welt's cold command, an invisible gravity swept over all the creatures before him. Shub and Salome fell to their knees with a thud, while Ziegfried barely managed to stay standing.

"Vanish."

Countless points of light emerged from the orb in Welt's hand, transforming into black-red beams that pierced straight into the Honkai Beast horde. With just this one strike, tens of thousands of Honkai Beasts were crushed into particles of light and vanished into the air.

Ziegfried was shocked.

"This person... I think I've seen him somewhere before." Ziegfried watched the man land warily. "That symbol on his belt... it's Anti-Entropy..."

Welt stood in front of the two massive Titan Mechs, hands in his pockets.

"People of Destiny!"

"I am the leader of Anti-Entropy, Welt Yang."

Welt's declaration made Ziegfried and the others even more wary. Whether it was the hostile relationship between Destiny and Anti-Entropy, or Welt's identity as the First Herrscher, Ziegfried raised the Judgement of Shamash.

After a heated discussion, Ziegfried finally agreed to cooperate with Welt.

"Welt Yang is the leader of Anti-Entropy? Isn't it Uncle Joyce?"

Bronya asked, puzzled. Her guardian was a high-ranking Anti-Entropy executive, so she knew Anti-Entropy well. Walter Joyce had always been the president of the Anti-Entropy group, while Welt Yang, as Joyce's younger brother, was only in charge of Anti-Entropy's subsidiary studios.

"Aaaaaah!"

A duet of wails made Bronya's head hurt.

"He's really cool."

Even Walter Joyce couldn't help but sigh.

Einstein frowned even deeper.

She still couldn't figure it out.

Welt Yang's eyes were shining; he was already hooked.

Chapter 15: Destiny and Anti-Entropy

At the same time, two adorable children were playing happily on a grassy field. Just as everyone was wondering why this scene had appeared, the back of a man in a white shirt appeared on the screen. His blonde hair covered his eyes, bringing his thoughts back to the past, and he couldn't help but reach out his hand.

"That's me! Although it's when I was little." Kallen looked at the projection in surprise, nodding happily, then asked in confusion, "I didn't expect Little Yaqing to write me in, but why didn't she ask me to do the voice acting?"

Otto was silent.

"Otto, can you ask Little Yaqing for me? Will I have any more plot in the future?" Kallen looked at Otto, blinking her eyes coquettishly.

His defenses broke, and Otto's heart was pierced.

Otto hugged Kallen tightly, as if afraid she would disappear in the next second. Yaqing's script was too real, giving Otto a dreamlike feeling.

Although Kallen didn't know what was happening, she gently stroked Otto's golden hair, seeing him reveal a vulnerable state in front of her for the first time in years.

A sudden emergency report broke the unusual atmosphere. Amber's report informed Otto that the leader of Anti-Entropy, the First Herrscher Welt, had appeared near the Tower of Babylon. Hearing the familiar name, Otto couldn't help but be surprised.

"Welt...? The debt from 1955 hasn't been settled yet." Otto muttered to himself.

A scene flashed by, showing Otto's memories. However, it wasn't the Welt Yang who had appeared, but an unfamiliar youth with purplish hair, forcefully punching him in the face.

Knowing it was related to Welt, Otto immediately connected the Tower of Babylon incident to the Second Herrscher. At the same time, he ordered Ziegfried to defend the Tower of Babylon at all costs.

Unfortunately, Otto didn't expect that Ziegfried would not fight the First Herrscher, but would instead cooperate with Anti-Entropy, agreeing to let Destiny's enemies enter the Tower of Babylon.

"Damn it, Ziegfried, that reckless and unpredictable factor."

Otto was annoyed. Looking at the images transmitted from the scene, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. The man claiming to be Welt was not the Welt he remembered, but Einstein and Tesla, whom he knew well, were by his side, and he did indeed have the Star of Eden.

Otto understood. He reversed his previous anger, praising Ziegfried's decision with a malicious smile, licking his upper lip.

"This time, we'll accept Anti-Entropy's kindness."

"Huh..." Kiana shivered. "President Otto is giving off major villain vibes..."

"Uh... that's unlikely, right? Grandpa is Yaqing's boss, after all. The villain shouldn't be Grandpa... right?" Theresa was uncertain. Although her script didn't explicitly state it, the villainous aura was too strong.

Equally bewildered as Theresa was her grandmother, Kallen. "Otto, you..."

Otto was taken aback.

"Did you get punched in the plot?" Kallen asked, a bit airheaded.

"Hmph, it seems my dear junior still harbors some resentment towards me for sending him abroad," Otto said with an unconcerned smile.

"Yeah."

Kallen gave Otto a meaningful look. She might be ditzy, but she wasn't stupid. With this kind of vibe hitting her in the face, she'd have to be completely clueless not to figure it out.

In the Golden Courtyard, upon seeing the weapon in Welt Yang's hand named Star of Eden, Elysia excitedly shook Yaqing's shoulders. "Yaqing, my dear Yaqing, does the Star of Eden have some special significance?"

Yaqing was a little helpless. Elysia became especially excited whenever Eden was mentioned. He, and everyone else in the courtyard, was used to it.

"Elysia, this involves important plot points later on," Yaqing said with a smile. He was planning something big later, so there was no way he would reveal the plot to Elysia so easily.

"Okay~?"

"The Ninth Divine Key? Is that a ranking of versatility or power?" Vill-V wondered. For some reason, the term Divine Key was strangely appealing to her.

Kevin felt like he was being scratched by kittens. He knew about the Seventh and Sixth Divine Keys, but he couldn't say anything. It was so frustrating.

"It seems that whether in reality or in the story, our relationship with President Otto remains as stiff as ever," Einstein commented in her half-dead tone.

"Serves him right!" Tesla rarely spoke about Otto without cursing. "With the way his story develops later on, is Otto even doing human things?"

"Was that me in that fleeting shot? Did I punch Otto in the face?" Welt Joyce wondered, puzzled. Since he wasn't doing any voice acting, he didn't think he'd have any appearances.

"Who knows, but good for Joyce! He should give him a well-deserved kick in the teeth." Tesla clenched her fist excitedly.

Welt Joyce was helpless.

["Achoo."

Tesla, leading the Titan force and stationed thirty kilometers outside the Tower of Babylon, suddenly sneezed, unsure if it was from the cold or from Bishop Otto talking about her.

In the snow and wind, Tesla grumbled, "Bedhead, this isn't fair!"

After obtaining Bishop Otto's agreement, Einstein thanked Otto in a sarcastic tone. Then, she questioned Theresa and Ziegfried, who had just joined them.

"I wonder if you two know that beneath the Honkai furnace, there is a prison for experimental subjects."

As Einstein finished speaking, the scene flashed to a snowy landscape, labeled Tower of Babylon, 17 kilometers away. A purple spiral portal suddenly appeared, and Sirin sat on the snow, panting. This was her first long-distance teleportation.

Sirin was puzzled as to why the micro-Honkai Beasts were telling her to evacuate. Suddenly, her pupils constricted as she stared in shock at the enormous circular structure before her.

After following the micro-Honkai Beasts inside, she saw her younger self, standing helplessly in front of a hospital bed, crying for her mother. But the patient on the bed was already covered with a white sheet.

"Mom... don't leave me alone."

The childish cries of her younger self echoed in the silent space, and tears streamed down Sirin's face as she murmured, "I don't want..."

At that moment, a purple flame rose, and a voice that sounded both male and female rang out: "That's right, tear apart the hearts of humans, and you can become a true Herrscher."]

"What a philosophical question," Mobius said, her desire for research piqued. "Yaqing, in your setting, what kind of existence is a Herrscher? Are they humans who have suffered greatly? Or humans with special abilities?"

"Senior Mobius, what do you think?" Yaqing asked in return.

Mobius gritted her teeth in anger. When Elysia asked questions, he would answer her indulgently, and if he couldn't, he would gently refuse. But when she asked, he would just give a perfunctory counter-question.

Heaven knows, Yaqing only felt that Elysia's intelligence made it difficult for her to understand his thoughts, so he answered every question. But Mobius was different. She was at the top of human intelligence, so how could she not understand him?

Cecilia hugged Sirin tightly.

Sirin could also feel Cecilia's love and gently rubbed Cecilia's pretty face.

"Sirin, Mom won't leave you alone."

Chapter 16: Go for it, Otto!

[Inside the Tower of Babylon, Einstein used a Honkai Energy Meter that looked like a thermometer to test the girls released from the prison, trying to find 'that person' with excessive Honkai energy. But she was puzzled to discover that 'that person' was not among the several girls.

"Wait a minute..." Theresa then remembered that a purple-haired girl was missing.

Einstein helplessly allowed the other party to escape, so she asked Welt to sense 'her' presence. However, Welt Yang told her that he couldn't sense 'her' presence. Relying on the remaining Honkai energy, Welt guessed that the other party had torn through space and escaped outside the tower.

"Torn through space?!" Ziegfried exclaimed in shock.

Cold sweat dripped down Ziegfried's forehead. If the other party was indeed outside the Tower of Babylon, as Welt said, then trying to find someone in the vast snowfield under the harsh weather of Siberia using detectors would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Einstein, however, was not flustered at all and even proposed a backup plan, which was to borrow Theresa's Judah's Oath.

Theresa was immediately stunned, reaching for the huge gold and black cross behind her. Even she didn't know that Judah had this function. In her mind, Judah's target-locking range was only a short hundred meters.

Einstein, based on the information Anti-Entropy had obtained from ancient ruins, explained to Theresa, or rather to the audience.

"Judah's Oath, and Mr. Ziegfried's Judgement of Shamash, are both weapons created by the Ancient Civilization—Divine Keys."]

At the same time, Einstein also pointed out that in addition to its weapon function, Judah has four other functions.

"Ancient Civilization? Why does this suddenly feel so mythical?" Ling complained, sticking her tongue out at Yaqing behind her, and grabbing a bag of chips from Pardo.

"It seems Divine Keys are very mysterious," Vill-V speculated, starting from trivial details, "Welt's Star of Eden, Ziegfried's Judgement of Shamash, Theresa's Judah's Oath."

"Whether it's Theresa's nun attire or the cross-shaped weapon, it all has a strong religious style," Mei commented.

Kevin stared at the twin pistols on Ziegfried's waist on the screen, feeling strangely drawn to them.

Einstein poured the residual Honkai energy from the scene into a test tube and poured it onto Judah's Oath.

Einstein and Theresa's art style suddenly became chibi.

"I've never heard of... of this function, and I don't know how to use it..."

Einstein's face darkened, and she began to teach Theresa how to activate Judah's Oath's tracking mode. As Theresa silently recited the tracking command in her heart, Judah's Oath lit up with a dazzling light, blinding Theresa.

Judah's Oath shrank from a giant cross to less than the size of a palm, and eight golden chains stretched out in all directions. In extreme cases, Judah can track targets within a radius of 200 kilometers.

Even the opposing Welt couldn't help but complain that Otto had given them the Divine Key, but hadn't told them the correct way to use it.

"Huh? Speaking of which, why didn't President Otto teach Aunt Theresa Judah... uh, what was it called again?" Kiana asked, puzzled.

"It's Judah's Oath," Mei reminded her.

"Ah, right, Judah's Oath. Why didn't the President teach Aunt Theresa the correct way to use Judah's Oath?"

"Uh... I don't know either," Theresa said, also scratching her head in confusion.

"This makes Theresa look so clueless." Himeko, already flushed, watched the screen with drunken eyes.
