Chapter 33: The Overseer's Introduction
Location: Schicksal Headquarters
It had been nearly a whole day, as 22 hours had passed since both Alex and Kiana had been knocked unconscious at the hands of Fu Hua.
To see the floating HQ is almost like seeing a literal deity.
That is what it felt like for common folk whenever they were able to catch a glimpse of the floating isle that Schicksal called their Headquarters, representing just how far and technologically advanced they have become over the course of their existence.
Within the HQ was a dark, dimly lit room with numerous empty, and large tubes, though only one was lit up as within that tube, Kiana was there, still unconcious and completely submerged within a purple colored liquid, as she was being observed by a person
"Continue to infuse Honkai Energy into the test chamber." Said the person revealing it to be a male. "We need to be able to awaken her from her deep slumber after all."
The man continued to watch as he chuckled to himself.
"Hehe. Long time no see. Welcome back home. K-423." Said the man, whose face was now visible, revealing themself to be non other than the Schicksal Overseer, Otto Apocalypse
Eventually, Otto saw Kiana's eye open, as it was that golden color again.
"O-Overseer! Look at the monitor!" Said an employee who had been watching a camera that observed the Siberian landscape.
Otto turned to look at the large hologram monitor as it showed a massive white dragon burst out of an iceberg it had been encased in
"Well well. Looks like your queen's awakening has gotten you all riled up." Said Otto with an amused tone before issuing out commands.
"Deploy the regional defense satellite! All Valkyrie units, prepare for Level 1 combat! Get everyone! We have honored guests approaching. A revolution is upon us!" Said Otto with an ecstatic tone, showing that he was thrilled to witness whatever was gonna happen.
A force field then appeared, blocking all around the floating base.
Right as Otto was about to make his leave, he got a sudden video call from Theresa.
The Overseer chuckled as he decided to amuse himself as he answered the call, being greeted to the stern, angered face of his granddaughter.
"Ah my dearest granddaughter. I've been expecting a call from you." Said Otto.
"Grandpa, please give Kiana back to us or else we're forcing our way in with the Hyperion." Said Theresa.
"The Hyperion huh?" Asked Otto in an unamused tone. "Tell me, how exactly do you plan on using that toy of yours, Theresa? Please, just be a good girl and turn back around. Everyone does have their rebellious phase so I won't hold this against you." Said Otto.
Theresa merely chuckled upon hearing Otto's response.
"You're as nice to me as I can remember, Grandpa Otto. However, this time, I've already made up my mind." Said Theresa as she smirked.
"I will not submit!"
Right as she said that, the call ended as a warning sound began to go off.
"O-Overseer! Someone shot a laser at the force field! It's caused a massive hole to emerge! We're being invaded!" Shouted the alarmed worker.
"No worries. With all the Honkai Energy we've amassed I'm sure the Honkai beasts can delay them long enough. Now then, I'll be taking my leave. Whatever happens, do not stop infusing Honkai Energy into the chamber. We need her to awaken as soon as possible. Understood?" Asked Otto.
"Yes Overseer!" Said the worker.
With that, Otto left the room and began making his way down the hallway.
This walk lasted for a couple of minutes until he approached a door with a sign that said, "Access for the Overseer only! Entry is strictly prohibited!".
Otto entered the room and it honestly looked like a pretty normal looking lounge room.
There was a table in the middle, a window to look outside, a cabinet with numerous items, and two items.
Though, on one of those chairs was the unconscious Alex, tied to the chair.
Otto walked over at sat on the chair across from Alex with the table in between them.
'This boy. Just what kind of secrets could he potentially hold? He might have something that I could use as a Plan B in case Plan A somehow fails.' Thought Otto to himself as he continued to look at the unconcious boy.
"Hmm. Well, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I looked into his mind for a bit." Said Otto.
With that, Otto held a hand out, as from the wrist emerged a long, thin, white, worm like vine as it slithered its way towards Alex, until it eventually reached and touched his forehead, spiritually connecting Alex's mind to Otto's.
'Now then, let's see what's in that head of yours.' Thought Otto, as he closed his eyes, ready to take in any information Alex had.
As he did though, for some reason, Otto felt like there had been a change of scenery, like he wasn't in the room anymore.
Unable to shake that feeling anymore, he opened his eyes and was greeted to an emtpy, endless white void.
"What the? Is this what the inside of that kid's mind looks like?" Asked Otto as that was his only rational explanation for what was going on.
Then, he heard a voice behind him.
"Well well well, look who we have here. Quite the invader, Mr. Otto Apocalypse."
Otto immediately turned around and saw the entity, Truth sitting down as he usually did, with a smile.
"W-What? What's the Honkai Will doing inside of this kid's mind?" Asked Otto which led to Truth immediately laughing.
"Honkai Will!? Man oh man that's a good one! Honestly, that's the best compliment I've ever gotten! To be compared to them is an honor. Anyways, sorry to burst your bubble but no, I'm not the Will of the Honkai." Said Truth.
"Then what are you, otherworldly being?" Asked the Overseer.
"What am I? What a good question. I go by many names. I'm sometimes called the world. I'm sometimes called the universe. Sometimes I'm known as god. Other times I am all, I am one. More often, I prefer going by the name Truth, but more importantly......"
Truth then stood up, and to Otto's amazement, Truth shapeshifted into Otto and pointed at him.
"I am also, you."
For whatever reason, Otto felt the need to look behind him.
As he did, he saw a absolutely massive gate with numerous inscriptions stand before him.
Then, the gate slowly opened, as Otto was met face to face with the pitch black insides of the gate, that was until, an eye opened from within the gate
As Otto kept staring at the eye in complete shock, Truth continued to speak.
"For the one who forcefully invaded god's domain, I'll gladly give you what you wanted. The answers you seek. Just be warned..........."
"Sometimes, the truth can be too much to handle, Otto Apocalypse."
