------------ Captain's pov

I traversed through the void while holding the clone. It's my first time being in the void and the place is the exact same world except everything looks to be filled with different shades of purple. Time stops when I enter this world so nothing else is moving.

"Who the hell do you think you are?! Release me right now or I'll crush you like a worm!" The clone kept pulling on my hand and being loud and annoying.

I decide to go to the sea next to Soukai City. There probably won't be anyone there and I won't get a noise complaint.

I used my dodge skill again and I exited the portal. I then released my grip on his neck and he immediately fell into the water.

Too bad he didn't drown and used his power to levitate upwards.

He was breathing heavily. I probably used too much force when I grabbed him. Well, that's what you get when you hurt my waifus. Bronya was knocked out, Kiana and Fu Hua were almost killed, and Mei would've activated her Herscherr mode which would then start the time bomb on her heart. I also remembered the clone touched Mei inappropriately in the manga.

Yup, this guy's got to die. Well, it's not like I'm changing his destiny or anything. He would've been killed by the actual Welt at the end of this event anyways.

He glared at me at first but his expression quickly changed to shock as he realized the situation.

"Y-you're the Herscherr of the Void?!"

"......."

I guess he got that from me inheriting Herscherr of the Void's powers. Right now I have a team consisting of Herscherr of the Void, Celestial Hymn, and Drive Kometa.

I have the USP45s on Herscherr of the Void,

Cross on Celestial Hymn,

And Briareus EX on Drive Kometa.

[A/N: Only lvl50 because I only need it for support.]

I didn't put stigmata on any of them.

That equipment line up may look miserable but the team composition alone makes it one of the best physical damage teams in the game. I think I overdid it with the team composition though, Herscherr of the Void alone should be enough to deal with this pseudo Herscherr. But whatever, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Since Herscherr of the Void is my main damage dealer, my stats should change as follows:

HP: 300->2,480 Atk: 75->690 Crit: 10->59 SP: 50->234 DEF: 100->439

"Sirin was killed not too long ago....Why is there another Herscherr of the Void already?!" The clone said out loud.

"...."

"No wait, why the hell did you even attack me?!"

"You raised a ruckus which made me miss my dinner."

"You think this is a joke?!" He snapped.

"Yes."

"I'm going to make sure you regret making an enemy out of me! Ha, I can't wait to see you squirming helplessly as you cry out for forgiveness!"

"Try, vermin." I gotta use the favorite word of the famous Herscherr.

"I only sense 1 Herscherr core on you. Ha, so you are just a normal 2nd Herscherr, nothing like the ascended Sirin! We are both Herscherrs but I can easily crush you, you inferior Herscherr!"

"Ok."

"I would've destroyed you if you didn't sneak attack me."

"Ok."

Well, seems like someone is very confident in himself.

"You have no chance against me, I'm the 1st Herscherr and the sovereign of Anti-Entropy!"

"Ok."

The clone's face is red with anger.

"You dare ignore me?! Then taste 100× gravity!"

Pressure fell on me and the water beneath me spread out due to the force put on it.

I just stayed there levitating with my powers. I'm sure 100× gravity will kill a normal human but I'm the Herscherr of the Void right now. All I feel is that my movemet speed decreased by about 5%.

The clone realized his gravity had next to no effect on me and I stared at him, expressionless.

"How dare you mock me?! Taste this!" He conjured several purple orbs and launched them at me.

Before the orbs even touched me, they instantly disappeared. A white sphere surrounding me absorbed every one of his orbs, leaving me unscathed.

"How are my attacks not working?!" The clone had a look of disbelief.

How? Well it's gotta do with Drive Kometa. Her passive skill gives a shield to teammates that can take up to 25% of Kometa's health in damages, which is 804 shield points. I can even regenerate the shield every time I activate Drive Kometa's QTE. This means that unless the enemy is stronger and faster than my character cool down, I can't be killed by physical attacks.

"You're too weak. You'll need to attack me hundreds more times to even leave a scratch on me. Now it's time to show you the difference between us."

I pointed at him and one of my spears immediately pierced through his shoulder. His entire arm fell clean off, there was no resistance. He stood there looking at me, the attack was so quick he didn't even react yet.

"AAHHHHHH!" He screamed in pain as he grabbed on to his bleeding shoulder. Blood was rushing out non-stop. His expression changed between hatred and terror.

I sent 4 more spears at him. The first spear took off his other arm, the next two spears cut both his legs off, and the last spear created a large hole in his stomach. The water below is red from his blood.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" There was non-stop screams of pain.

I pointed at his head next.

His expression is now only filled with horror.

He used his remaining powers and flew full speed to try to get away from me.

Is this guy seriously trying to 'outrun' the Herscherr of the Void?

I don't even need the power of the void to catch him. I changed to inherit Drive Kometa.

"Don't think that you're the only one who can control people's movements."

I used Briareus EX's weapon skill: Gigantomachy.

A device was thrown near the clone and it floated on top of of the water. The device then opened on top and a purple debuff field was then created.

The clone's speed immediately dropped and he could barely move. His defense is also impaired by 52.3%. He had a look of disbelief and it seemed like he wanted to say something but the slowed time didn't allow him to.

The time slow meant that I could use Celestial Hymn's or the Herscherr's QTE. I immediately switched over and Celestial Hymn's own spears dropped on him, impairing his defense by another 50%.

I then used her weapon skill and dropped the cross. This allows for 25% physical damage increase to team.

Herscherr of the Void's QTE can still be used in which I proceed to use. A large portal opened beneath the clone and countless void spears were launched up.

His body is now in many pieces, he can't be recognized anymore and was thrown way up high in the sky. I want to make sure he's completely gone.

My charged attack bar is filled due to my previous 5 attacks. This means that I can enter Herscherr mode.

"Hey, if you can still hear me, listen up! I call this skill: Don't Fuck With My Waifus!"

Snap!

I snapped my fingers and the enitre sky turned white immediately.

"Holy Shit!" Was my reaction to it and holy shit indeed.

The whole sky in the city brightened at first. It was like the sun skipped its cycle and immediately made it day. The color then turned into bright orange. It was like the burning sun was crashing towards Earth. The water in the entire sea rippled from the skill.

It dimmed and eventually looked like night again.

The clone was nowhere to be seen. His body completely vaporized from the over-buffed attack.

I may have gotten a little overboard with the attack, just a little.

I immediately teleported behind a building in St. Freya and took off every valkyrie.

My stamina is 53/165. I would have more if I talked less with the guy....

I went to the girls' dorm and they weren't there. I assume they went to the school clinic and they sure were.

I found their rooms and walked in. Bronya and Mei were still unconscious but Fu Hua and Kiana were talking to each other.

"What happened!? Are you girls okay?!" I acted as if I didn't know.

"We're in stable condition right now, Captain. Our dorm was attacked by the 1st Herscherr." Fu Hua answered.

"What?!"

"Yea, that creep tried to take away my Mei!" Kiana exclaimed.

"Then you guys managed to fight him off?"

".....no. An orange portal appeared and an arm reached out to pull him in. That light in the sky must've been from that person as well!" Kiana answered.

"Ahem. Well I'm glad you girls are okay."

I chat with them for a while and 2 people came into the room after, it was Theresa and Himeko.

They showed concern and the girls explained what happened.

"Tear in space and orange portal?!" Theresa exclaimed.

She then took out her communications device.

"Raise the security level of the school." Theresa said.

"Roger!" The other side responded.

"Kiana, were you the one that made the portal?" Theresa asked.

"Ha?! Aunt Theresa, you've known me for so long, do you see me jumping through portals?!"

"Haah, never mind. You are so active all the time you might as well be jumping through portals."

Oh shit. Theresa fought Sirin before so she knows the power of the void! That means she must think that it was Kiana or someone with a similar power!

"Still, I'm glad you girls are okay." Theresa added.

Theresa, Himeko, and I walked out to leave them to rest.

"Captain, we have something very important to discuss." Himeko turned and said to me. She was serious and wasn't at all teasing.

"Yea, and it's better we talk about it in my office." Theresa added.

"Sure." And so I got my evening stroll done and reached her office.

"Captain, this is very confidential information but I think we should hear your opinion on this. You are the Captain and I quite trust your judgment so please listen closely." Theresa said.

"Okay." I responded with a serious tone.

They proceed to tell me what happened in the archive. Einstein and Cocolia were trying to get Otto's secret information and Himeko and Theresa went in to try to stop them. They were quickly winning as the Titans were no match for their skills and Judah was also used. Einstein then stopped them and showed them a secret area in the archive. The area had capsules that held teenage girls inside. The labels on the capsules say 'Project Sirin'. Einstein told the two about Otto's experiments to revive Sirin through a human vessel. Kiana is actually a clone named K423 made to contain Sirin. After revealing the information, Einstein proposed a partnership between the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy to stop Otto.

"So what is your opinion on this: Should we or should we not partner up with Anti-Entropy?" Himeko asked me.

"In my opinion, we should. My logical reasoning is that one of our students is in danger and it's our duty to protect our students. My emotional reason is that Kiana is someone important to me, I'm sure that's the same for you two as well, right?"

They both nodded.

"And do we agree that Kiana is rowdy but definitely not the type of person that would destroy humanity?"

They nodded again.

"Then we should give our all to protect Kiana. Overseer Otto wants to turn Kiana into a Herscherr and eventually control her. That means that we will be going against the rest of Schicksal." My face turned serious and so did theirs.

"Far East Branch is quite powerful but definitely not as powerful as the whole of Schicksal. That means we'll need a backup power. Anti-Entropy created titans since they refuse to test on humans so that at least shows most of their members have more morals than Otto. They are also quite a powerful organization, we'll have a chance if we become allies. That is my conclusion."

"I knew it was a good idea to ask Captain!" Theresa exclaimed.

"Well, he is a battle strategist afterall." Himeko added.

"Oh right, I think we should hide this all from the girls. Kiana is fine the way she is, a silly girl who wants to become the strongest valkyrie." I suggested.

"Yup, that's my ambitious niece, not some Herscherr!" Theresa declared.

"Haha, she's barely keeping her B-rank from how poorly she does on written tests." Himeko joked.

We all sighed together at that fact.

"Alright then, we will become allies with Anti-Entropy and protect our Kiana!" Theresa concluded.
