Both Himekos held flames in their hands, gazing at each other. "As expected!" "Exactly the same ability." "Of course, it's me after all!" The Honkai-verse Himeko laughed with delight. It truly was the same. Her theory was correct: if she could awaken this superpower, then the other Himeko could as well. "Train it well. This power has an impressive upper limit." "And over time, it will reshape your body." "Eventually, Honkai energy may no longer pose a threat to you." Seeing the ability successfully awaken, Takumi began to explain to the other Himeko. After she injected the serum, Takumi had been observing the changes in her body. Now that she had awakened this power, she was like someone born with Stigmata—her constitution would slowly shift as well. So, there wasn't much to worry about. Hearing this, Himeko nodded. Beside her, Mei's face lit up with joy. "That's wonderful, Miss Himeko! Now you'll be okay from now on!" She was truly happy. With Honkai Himeko's arrival, another major worry had been resolved. Mei couldn't be more relieved. "Superpower Awakening Serum? A drug that grants superpowers? Can it be mass-produced?" Theresa finally couldn't hold her curiosity in. She approached to watch the Himeko playing with fire. If this thing could really be mass-produced, wouldn't it mean humanity could gain power to fight the Honkai? What a game-changer! Hearing Theresa's questions, Honkai Himeko chuckled. "This serum belongs to Takumi. Mass production is definitely possible. In his world, everyone gets a share." "If you're interested, maybe talk it over with him?" She grinned, nudging the conversation back to Takumi. Theresa turned to look at him. "No rush," Takumi replied calmly. "I imagine your grandfather already knows everything that's been happening here. Am I right, Otto?" As he spoke, he looked toward the ship's central console. Though Mei had cut off communications for the whole city earlier, Hyperion had since left that zone. So, everything that happened after Himeko's arrival had likely been seen by Otto. That's why Takumi said what he did. Everyone froze for a moment. Theresa was stunned. The next second, Otto's image appeared on Hyperion's main screen. "Grandfather?!" Theresa nearly collapsed at the sight. "No doubt you're a remarkable guest from another world. Hello, sir. I am Otto, Overseer of Schicksal." Takumi smiled. "I know everything about you—and your future. So, I'm already quite familiar." To many, a dead Otto is a good Otto. But Takumi wasn't too bothered. Otto's only goal was to revive Kallen—the woman who ran off with a fox. Gotta admit, the Pure Love War God really went hard. Otto's eyes showed a flicker of surprise. He glanced at the people standing aboard Hyperion. "I see. Then there's no need for lengthy introductions. I suppose you know a lot already, sir?" "Of course," Takumi replied. "For example—true Kiana is Durandal. Or how you want to revive Kallen. Or how, in the end, you became a false god and created a timeline on the Imaginary Tree just for her." "I know everything. Past, present, future." I've read your script. So there's nothing I don't know. Otto's eyes lit up with astonishment. "So I succeeded? Looks like my plan worked, then." "Yeah, you did bring her back. But unfortunately, you're done for, too. And I've got more news: although your plan worked, it might now fail. Because I'm here." His meaning was obvious. That future could no longer repeat itself. The moment Mei joined the chat group, this world's timeline had already branched into something new. Otto frowned slightly but quickly smiled again. "True. It seems we must meet face to face, Mr. Takumi." Since the plan had collapsed, it was time to shift to another. Just as Takumi said—his presence in this world had invalidated all of Otto's assumptions. Whatever future might have played out—Takumi's arrival had rewritten everything. So Otto wanted to meet. If the old plan couldn't be fulfilled, then he'd pay the price to make Takumi help him. This man from another world—surely he had the means? "Bring Durandal along. I'll be waiting at St. Freya." Takumi didn't refuse. He needed many things from this world—including remnants of the Previous Era. Otto's Divine Keys? Oh yes, Takumi wanted to play with those. Especially the First Divine Key: Void Archives. A treasure housing vast knowledge from the Previous Civilization. There was no way Takumi would pass that up. So much of what he wanted was inside it. And the other Divine Keys Otto held? Takumi wanted those too. This sly old fox had a lot of good stuff. Takumi knew exactly why Otto wanted to meet. He just wanted a way to bring Kallen back. Which wasn't a problem. Because Takumi did have ways to resurrect the dead. Just the magic he brought from You's world alone could do it. Necromancy, plus an angel's revival spell. Yeah, Takumi knew how to do all that. Summon the soul. Construct a new body. Then revive it with divine magic. Easy peasy. Hearing all this, Otto was thrilled. "Then see you soon." He ended the call and quickly went to prepare. "Takumi, you're really going to meet Otto?" Mei looked nervous. To her, Otto was extremely dangerous. And now Takumi wanted to meet him? "Of course I will. Otto's dream is simple—bring back Kallen." "And that's easy for me." "So it's no big deal!" "Mei, want me to help you bring your mom back, too?" "Let me meet the mother-in-law?" Takumi grinned radiantly. Hearing this, Mei was completely dumbfounded.
