Chapter 118: Anti-Entropy

After the NA branch along with Reanna had a shower and a change of clothes. They patiently waited for the 3 unconscious people to wake up. EINSTEIN was waiting with them and they made the room look ridiculous by painting it chrome like when squidward went to the future.

"Ugh, what the hell happened... Emma-nee! Welt!" Lieserl woke up and shouted, looking for her comrades that were injured. Tesla woke up as well and groaned. "Shut the hell up mophead. Ugh, wait... Where's Emma-nee and Welt!?"

They then observed the room and it was all chrome. There was even an ELF cleaning the room and it waved at them. "Where the hell are we?" Lieserl got anxious as they were in a mysterious med bay.

"Hmm, good question." They heard someone that sounded just like Lieserl's deep voice and they looked at her. The two young scientists gasped as they saw EINSTEIN that looked exactly like Lieserl. Except more mature.

"Hi, I'm EINSTEIN. You might know me as Lieserl Albert Einstein. And it's been a long time. You guys are now a few centuries into the future." She explained to them and the 2 looked at each other. Quite skeptical at her words.

"The future? Then why do you look different and how are you still alive?" Tesla asked and Lieserl observed her more clearly. "I'm a clone of the two of you. You've been in a coma all this time and finally you guys woke up." EINSTEIN sighed as she acted.

"I think she's telling the truth. Look at her! She looks like a combination of us, except your genes are more dominant." Tesla whispered to Lieserl and thought this situation was crazy.

"Yes, it seems Tesla is submissive and breedable. That's why Lieserl's genes came on top." EINSTEIN teased them and Tesla fumed. "I am not submissive! And what do you mean by breedable mophead!" She shouted at her.

"Still as prickly as ever Tesla. But deep inside, you know you're submissive and breedable you tsundere." EINSTEIN retorted and Tesla just narrowed her eyes at her while Lieserl laughed her ass off.

"Hey guys, you're finally up. Welcome to the future!" Ein appeared and gave EINSTEIN a kiss. Making Lieserl choke mid laugh and it was Tesla's turn to laugh at her.

"Ein-nii. I thought you were Dr. Vill's boyfriend or something. Or the originals are dead and you're a clone?" Lieserl looked at him closely. But he was the same old him.

"Oh, I'm actually immortal. Pretty surprising right? Vill is too, I just have a small harem." He shrugged and the two young scientists thought it was understandable.

"I have a question though, why is everything in chrome?" Tesla looked around and the whole place was a shiny chrome color. "Well duh, it's the future silly. Look out the window, everything is chrome." He gestured them to look outside the window and literally everything was chrome.

A plant then sprouted out of the ground, but an ELF immediately came and spray painted it chrome. "Wait a minute... Did that android just painted that plant chrome?" Lieserl asked and she got suspicious.

"Okay, okay. It's been just a few hours and you guys are in my base of operations." Ein explained to them and snapped his fingers. The shiny coloring then disappeared, but it looked even more advanced now when they saw the equipment all around them.

"Come on, let's meet you up with the others." EINSTEIN said to them and she stood up. Tesla and Lieserl looked at each other and asked themselves just who in the world EINSTEIN was.

After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at his sakura tree and the 2 scientists saw everyone else. Including Erwin and Nancy. "Edison! Schrodinger!" Tesla immediately went up to them and hugged them tightly.

"Ugh, I can't breathe Tesla!" Nancy pushed her away and sighed. "But you detonated the bomb in the ocean? It even caused a tsunami." Lieserl was confused and Nancy explained what happened.

Tesla and Lieserl had to sit down from the ridiculous story Nancy shared. Ein then prepared a long table so he could put the food he made on it for a feast.

"Okay guys, we will celebrate. Everyone survived, and that's what matters." He raised a cup and the others cheered. The NA branch was still complete, although Joachim was now a herrscher and Welt lost his core.

"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Ein asked them and everybody started thinking on what will be their plans from now on.

"Can we stay here for some time? As the leader of the NA branch of Schicksal. I'll think of what to do, guys. Let's have a meeting and we will split from Schicksal." Nancy said to all of the people involved in the NA branch.

"Yes, we actually need a plan. We can't just let this go. Schicksal almost destroyed New York and would've killed all of us without Reanna's help in that missile." Emma recounted Schicksal's sins against them and they all remembered it.

"We should probably compete with Schicksal for supremacy. We can use the eye of the deep as a base for now." Schrodinger proposed, the dead sea scrolls they got from Schicksal led them to the discovery of an entrance to the sea of quanta near the Mariana trench. And it would be perfect, as the null energy would mess with Schicksal's detection of them.

"Ohh, that. That was actually because of me." Ein reminisced the 9th herrscher and EINSTEIN sighed at the destruction the 9th caused.

"The portal you call the eye of the deep was actually made by EINSTEIN here. 50 thousand years ago, there was a continent there. They escaped through there and I stopped a gigantic black hole from cracking the planet in half, good times." Ein smiled, as it was now just a memory.

"Good times? What the hell are you on about Ein-nii? You're goddamned crazy." Tesla got nervous at his words and thought he might erase a city of continent and think it was just for fun.

Ein ignored her and put EINSTEIN on his lap. Patting her head as she leaned onto him with a cup of wine in her hand. "So? You guys are going to make an organization by yourselves?" He asked Nancy in particular and she nodded.

"What are you going to call it then. Don't expect me to help you with your endeavors too, I've saved you guys too much now already." He sipped on his drink and they flinched.

"Ooh, how about Tesla corp.? I want it to compete with Spiral workshop!" Tesla excitedly said and EINSTEIN chuckled at her.

"Sadly, you won't be able to ever come close to Spiral workshop Tesla, Vill-v's been holding back technology from the public for centuries. You'd need to catch up like crazy or you'll just be left in the dust." EINSTEIN explained to her and Tesla got downtrodden.

"Schicksal's been causing chaos and disorder lately. Not to mention they've been more active. So how about something simple? Anti-Entropy." Lieserl suggested and Nancy thought about it.

"Hmm, that's a good idea Lieserl. Negentropy, that is pretty good. Let's roll with that, then we have to build a stable foundation. There's still the equation to change honkai energy into heat. I just need time and some help to correct it." Nancy thought of the honkai powered mechs that they will use to combat Schicksal's forces.

"It does sound nice no? I guess you guys will have quite the success." Ein smiled at them and the young scientists shyly accepted his praise.

"How about me though? I've lived long enough, I just want to have a peaceful life." Reanna sighed and the others thought she was right to pursue a peaceful life.

"I'll make you the gardener here. You must've known how to make plants grow while using abyss flower no?" Ein said to her and she thought about it.

"That's... Quite mundane, I like it. Sure, I accept the job." She smiled and thought it would be fun, just tending to plants and enjoy a nice sunny day. While seeing the kids in his orphanages play with the ELF's.

"But we have standards here. Every employee here must be able to kill emperor class honkai beasts in one hit. Even cleaners can do it, so can you." He told her, making everyone pale.

Every human there was like a supersoldier after all. "Okay, I guess I should give you guys a ride at least no?" Ein told them that he would teleport them back to Manhattan tomorrow morning.

At dawn, the members of the new organization Anti-Entropy went back to New York to strike while the iron was hot. Collecting everything they needed and all the mechs they've created to the new base near the Mariana trench in the eye of the deep.

And Ein would formally join Schicksal to send a message. A message that would make Tilie almost crazy as his companion prepared to go with him.

"Kallen, ready to meet up with your buddy? Remember, we've practiced this. Your name is different, and you don't act like your normal self around her at all okay?" He gave her acting classes and she is now wearing a japanese themed officer outfit. Looking crisp and cool. (pic)

"Aye aye sir!" She saluted and she liked her new outfit. Though she then lost her smile and narrowed her eyes when she remembered who they were going to meet and her eyes glowed menacingly.

"Hmm, let us see. Tilie, you've been quite the arse with people lately. Then we might as well cause you some problems no?" She looked at Ein and he nodded at her.

He straightened up his tie and wore a suit just like the turks. Looking cool as well, he then teleported themselves to Vienna as they've already given Tilie the letter for their involvement in Schicksal. (pic)

"Okay, we're here. Act natural okay?" Kallen wore shades so her friend won't see her face immediately and they entered the place where Ottilie currently was.

The blonde overseer was currently almost done with making a clone of Kallen. As the guide Ein gave her was a big help in her trials and experiments.

"Overseer, they've arrived. And as stated, there are two of them." A servant informed her and she reluctantly stopped looking at the floating clone in a test tube.

"Then I'll need to accept them with open arms no?" She then dressed differently and went to the room they were waiting in.

She entered the room and saw Ein with a familiar looking woman. "Ahh, old friend. It's nice to finally have you in Schicksal." Ein then stood up and gave her a la bise.

He gave a cheeky smile and shook her hand. "Ahhh, yes. It's quite the occasion no? How about I introduce you to my companion?" He gestured for Kallen to introduce herself and she took off her shades.

"Nice to meet you Ottilie Apocalypse. My name is Kal-en Kaslana." Ein almost broke their cover when Kallen introduced herself as he held in his laugh. Meanwhile, Ottilie almost had a stroke when she saw her.

"Uhhh... Nice to meet you." Her brain overheated and Ein went up to Kallen and gave her a little kiss on the lips.

"Don't worry, she's quite capable. I'd imagine she'll be the strongest valkyrie ever. Am I right Kal-en? She's the perfect soldier after all." He put salt on Tilie's wounds and reminded her of Kallen's moniker.

"Uhh, yes... That would be very nice yes." The blonde's legs shaked and she almost bursted into tears. "What's wrong Tilie? Can I call you that?" Kallen smiled at her and the blonde had to turn away from them as she teared up.

"Forgive me, there was something in my eye. Yes, you could call me that..." She then wiped it off and smiled at her. "What's wrong Tilie?" Ein asked her, but she just waved her hand.

"It's nothing. I just remembered something Ein. I must be tired is all. Forgive me Ein, Ms. Kaslana. It seems I need to welcome you another time. I don't feel well right now see?" She then walked away on shaky legs and her arms trembled.

After she was gone, Kallen looked at Ein and raised a brow. "Won't she notice? I don't have a disguise at all." Kallen was worried she will see through her and will pester her to come back to her or something.

"Nah, did you see her though? She was shocked out of her mind. Now, we trickle in some of your lines to her from the past next time. Really drive her crazy you know?" He smiled at her and Kallen narrowed her eyes at him.

"That's a great idea! Kukuku~ Maybe that would get through to her thick skull hmph." Kallen was still upset at her and wouldn't reveal herself to be the real one until she changes for good.

"You know that's really unlikely Kallen. Though let us see, maybe it would. Maybe it won't, the human mind is complex. Let us wait and see."

He chuckled and thought of the times they'd slowly transition Kallen's personality to her original one.

Tilie went back to the lab and she looked at the latest clone that was in the capsule. "Maybe I'm not doing the right thing... Kallen... Is this a sign? No, she's gone... I've come too far to stop now." The clone then started to wake up.

It was a clone of Kallen combined with Vishnu's genes. Giving the clone ridiculous regeneration. Although she can't consume honkai beasts like the original Vishnu and she's just a bootleg MANTIS that is way way worse in comparison.

"Who am I? What am I doing here?" The clone asked, due to technological limitations. She has the body of a 12 year old and will not grow any further due to Vishnu's genes.

"You don't have one, yet. You will earn it little one." Tilie was supposed to make her fight the other clones. But seeing Kallen made her reconsider, as she thought the woman Ein brought with her might be the real reincarnation of Kallen.

She started cloning her in order to try and reincarnate Kallen. But she lost the reason after the meeting earlier. Instead, she decided to give A-310 some tests that would measure her empathy and morality.

Basing her results if she would decide to keep her or just put her out there in an orphanage somewhere. Though she would still fight honkai beasts to measure her strength.

"Wait, tests? And you will give me a name after it?" The little clone asked. Tilie nodded and she started with the honkai beasts 1st. As a weak clone was useless anyway.

"You have to fight them. Then we will proceed with the next one, and after that one. You will receive your name." Tilie watched on as the clone frowned.

"Wait, fight?" She didn't have time to ask more questions as honkai beasts appeared. She was attacked by a seraph class, but with her enhanced body. She was able to dodge, though she stumbled as she wasn't used to the strength of her body.

"Woah, I'll take care of this then. Hah!" She lunged on the seraph class and started to beat it up until it caved in. The honkai beast then started to disperse and Tilie clapped. She had amazing instincts and combat capabilities, the best one yet.

"Okay. Time for your next step little one. Kill this clone, you have 5 minutes to do it." Tilie released another clone that looked just like her. But it was a test, to see if she would have empathy and sympathy like Kallen.

The other clone started attacking immediately for survival, while A-310 dodged and shouted. "I can't do this! It's wrong to kill her!" She dodged the attacks and blocked. Not trying to injure the other one.

She then set up a plan and backed off. The other clone started to run it down again and tried killing her, but she tripped her down by kicking the clone's leg and she immediately latched on to her back. Putting the clone in a chokehold, quickly incapacitating it in a few seconds with her strength.

Ottilie was impressed, not only was she strong. She had a tactical mind that made plans quickly and executed it well. But most importantly, she saw Kallen's kindness in her. Preferring not to end the clone and incapacitating it sealed the deal.

Unfortunately, the clone started to get unstable and was transforming into Vishnu. "Help, me... Kill me, please." It talked in a guttural voice and A-310 frowned immediately.

She looked for something to fight and saw a knife. But when she observed the clone again. It was in pain and was holding its sanity by a thin thread.

"Poor thing, I will end your misery..." She stabbed it and successfully ended A-303's life. Ottilie was quite shaken by what she saw and started thinking that things might have been too far.

"Kallen... What should I do? I just want you to be back. But I can't do that without doing all of this." She was conflicted and the A-310 started to mourn for her fellow clone.

"Rest in peace. Please find happiness elsewhere." She shed a tear and Ottilie thought she was as close to Kallen's personality as possible.

"Little one. Do you wanna know your name?" She entered the testing chambers and asked the little clone. "Really? What is it? Please tell me." A-310 is just hours old, and Ottilie immediately used a copy of Fenghuang down to erase her memory of this.

"You are Theresa. Yes, Theresa Apocalypse... I am your grandmother. Now let us go, you have many more things to learn." Tilie smiled at the clone and it followed her happily.

"Theresa, Theresa Apocalypse." She repeated the name and got excited. (pic)

Ottilie then soldiered on, too deep to quit now. As she apologized to Kallen in her heart. "Forgive me... Kallen. But I must give you the life you deserve." She stubbornly thought and tricked herself into thinking that it wasn't about being with Kallen anymore. It was about giving her a life that she deserved.

Thanks for reading everyone, due to Ein's biology for dummies. Teriteri has arrived quicker. Also, Anti-Entropy is now online. And the next one would be the union of Schariac and Kaslana, resulting in some tuna.

And I had to whale for Aponia. But she's finally in my grasp along with Eden mwahahaha
