Interlude: Servants And Myrmidons Of Taskforce Honkai

After school, the servants returned to their home and it was a mansion. They entered the estate and saw a couple of new people. Namely, Sushang, Aponia, and Eden.

"Hello everyone, I am Eden. Ein's 1st wife." Eden smiled at them and they felt relaxed at the elegant woman's easygoing nature. But Quetzalcoatl and Morgan immediately felt the second heart inside her that was raging like a violent storm. Wanting to devour and kill everything with pure ferocity and savagery.

"Heya! I'm Li Sushang! You guys are Ein's new mooks? Pretty decent I guess, but you mage types need some exercise!" Li Sushang pointed at Ishtar, Morgan, and Shakespeare.

They stared at her and thought she didn't look that strong. But of course they knew to shut their mouths. Sushang might be smol, but she was one of his women.

"Ahhh, Ein-sama has graced you with his blessings? Then I welcome you dearly to this place." Aponia greeted them politely, but her dead fish eyes clearly unnerved them. And Aponia has an unsettling air on her that even Tiamat feels it is dangerous as all hell.

The servants then introduced themselves and they couldn't help but get curious. More specifically, Shakespeare.

"Umm, forgive me for my insolence ladies. But may I know more about our esteemed master?" Shakespeare was dying to know more about Ein and they were more than happy to comply.

"Hmmm, Ein huh? 1st of all, he's such a handsome devil. I still remember the day we met. 2nd though, he is an intelligent man that was one of the leading scientists in technology at a tender age of 16 years old. He's the perfect lover that will take care of you well and sacrifice a lot for your happiness." Eden smiled tenderly and remembered the times.

"He was one of my masters in the art of combat. He's the best combatant you'll ever meet, he even taught me a technique called the 8 gates. It gives great power at the cost of your body. It would kill every single one of you if you even tried opening the 4th gate, except Scàthach. Though she will be crippled and one of her limbs might explode." Sushang chuckled and they cringed at the thought of that special move.

"Ahhhh. My light, Ein-sama. The Savior of humanity, if you would like. I can tour you to his great mission in saving the infinite macrocosm of our verse." Aponia smiled at them and thought they were really good servants. Wanting to know all of her husband's glory.

"Yes! Please show us." Quetzalcoatl got excited and concluded that he was a human. And she loves seeing them evolve.

"Well then, sit tight and please enjoy." Aponia snapped her fingers, using her discipline on them, entering their minds and would project Ein's journey as well as the flame chasers of MOTH.

The servants were suddenly transported into the previous era. They pinched themselves, thinking it was an illusion.

"Wow, this is insane..." Mordred looked around and thought that the place looked like a mythical place. Seeing tall skyscrapers and floating vehicles everywhere.

"Welcome, we are inside of our minds. And I will show you the great tale of Ein-sama." Aponia appeared before them and they were shocked.

"For real? We are inside of our minds? But how?" Morgan asked with interest and thought it was some kind of magic.

"I have merely connected your minds to mine. Enough of that boring talk though, let me show you his exploits." Aponia started from the very beginning. From where he was just a student with MEI, Su, and Kevin.

"My husband has talent that defies heaven. Even blessed with the arts. He and Eden were world famous musicians that even the elite of the elite could not meet with all their political power and money. This is where Eden receives her moniker, the voice of heaven and her codename, gold. As her immense wealth can buy entire continents." Aponia started her tour and they listened to his music with Eden.

"Wow. My master is a world class artist!? I would've been a fan if I existed on this timeline." Shakespeare listened to their pleasant and heavenly music.

Not everybody in their group was a connoisseur of music and art. But they could admit that Ein and Eden were musical prodigies that can turn to heroic spirits with just their heavenly music alone.

The scene then changed and they saw MEI and Ein that had a conversation about science. "And as I have said earlier, he has heaven defying talent. He is also a scholar that led the world with his friend, MEI. And he juggled all of that with his musical career."

The servants noticed a pattern and concluded that Ein was a person that not only had immense power, wealth, and charisma, but intelligence as well.

"But everything changed when the fire nation attacked." Aponia chuckled and cracked a joke, giving them context so they would understand.

They then saw that the sky was falling down. Lightning rained from above and everything was going into shit.

"The honkai... An alien race of beings that sought to eradicate humanity. And the stronger we became, they also got more mighty to match us." Aponia showed them honkai beasts that tower over people. Templars 3 stories tall caused destruction. Plowing through buildings like they were made of paper.

The servants paled upon seeing a horde of the beasts. They might be superhuman warriors, but the honkai beasts were harder than steel. And mobs like templars are as strong as servants that do not wield noble phantasms.

"Those beings... Are they phantasmal beasts?" Scàthach asked as she saw seraph class use ice and fire in their attacks from seemingly nowhere.

"No, no they are not. They use honkai energy, you could liken it to Ether. It bends the world to your will if you could control it. And they are natural wielders of it." Aponia recalled the facts.

They sucked in a cold breath, the humans who wield such strong firepower could only get run down by the honkai beasts.

The servants saw Ein's group try to escape from the city and they were thwarted by a miniature templar.

Everybody knew that he was just a slightly abnormal human at this point. Amazed by his tenacity and courage. Facing off an enemy that would certainly kill them all if they were the same age as it. Except some of them who were really strong since they were young.

Ein entered mortal combat with the templar using a crude honkai weapon. Dodging every attack that would kill him in one hit.

"Such a fine warrior at his age. A normal boy who can fight beings that are comparable to phantasmal beasts. And he didn't even receive formal training?" Scàthach asked Aponia as he was a bit too mechanical. But his control of his body was immaculate.

"Yes, Ein-sama only studied in a dojo. And he didn't really have a teacher like you." Aponia revealed and the warriors were more impressed.

"Amazing... His talent really does defy heaven itself. I could only imagine what he would be at that age if I were to teach him and give him a decent weapon. That man is a monster with infinite potential." Scàthach was disappointed that she did not meet her sooner.

"Wow~ Master is such a stud. He's smart, rich, strong, and extremely charming." Quetzalcoatl mused.

"And in just a short time, the enemy he struggled against is now just child's play against him." Aponia showed them his solo missions in the red areas inside ruined cities that a honkai eruption occured.

With a lacking weapon in hand. He slaughtered waves and waves of enemies. Looking like an unequaled warrior. An army of one man, engaging the beasts with his body and weapon.

"He's swapping weapons often, it's of poor quality right?" Artoria noticed and Aponia nodded. "Insane, that's what he is. And he is a lead scholar in your so called organization right?" Mordred was in awe at his martial prowess.

"And this is the first time in which he fought what you could call a divine spirit in your words. Herrschers, they are godlike beings that bend the world to their wills. And this is his fight against the herrscher of wind. She is unrivaled against it. Here, Ein-sama now wields his first weapon. The 7 thunders of retribution."

Lightning crackled on Ein's spear as they saw him fight the 4th herrscher. His clothes torn apart, and armor was ineffective. Seeing that with a wave of her hand, the towering structures got sliced.

Everyone looked at their battle with bated breath. Seeing a human fight someone that was basically a god of wind.

Something then got in between their fight. A unique honkai beast that sent out shockwaves, turning the tide of battle against him.

"W-what is that?" Jeanne got concerned. "An emperor class honkai beast. It can destroy cities in a matter of hours. The 3rd in their ranks based on strength. Having unique abilities depending on the herrscher they appeared with." Aponia explained.

Ein then used the 3rd divine key to cut up the beast and counter the herrscher's terrible attack that sliced everything to pieces.

"A godslayer at the mere age of 16..." Achilles whispered, but everyone heard it due to the quietness.

Aponia then showed his fight against the other herrschers. The 5th who froze everything into diamond dust. The 6th who spawned a crystal menace that some of them couldn't defeat.

And the 7th who burned down everything to the ground along with a black dragon that controlled the elements like a force of nature.

"That dragon is strong, I would lose against that without Balmung." Siegfried noted the immense strength of it.

They then saw Ein's sorrow and rage as he burned half of a continent by his lonesome. Making Surtr nod at his feat with satisfaction.

"He's basically a god in human form at that point... What a monster, I can't hope to defeat him and he doesn't even have divinity." Chiron gave a frown at his tenacity.

And what cemented it for real was when they saw the 9th herrscher. She was a menace that they don't want to fight. A disgustingly strong opponent that even Morgan knew she would be a stain on the ground in a full on confrontation.

Only Quetzalcoatl was confident she could fight her face to face. And then she let out her final attack. An attack the size of a continent that could crack the planet in half.

"Holy fuck..." Mordred was speechless and thought they were getting more and more ridiculous.

"And this is the final battle against the 14th herrscher. She is what you could call, nigh omnipotent. Even the strongest amongst you, Arcueid will be an ant in front of her. She could snap her fingers and erase any of you from existence except Tiamat, but it is only a matter of time before she understands how she could die and she would kill every lifeform to kill her permanently. She is basically the root personified."

Watching on as dimensions shattered. Universes getting thrown around. Reality exploding every clash. They thought that Ein is a human who ascended to godhood with sheer fucking will.

A man who fought against beings that could end entire civilizations by their lonesome, as a human.

The servants had newfound respect for him. They thought he was just an omnipotent being that is bored for the life of him.

Aponia then also showed his moments with his lovers and friends. He not only fights for a better tomorrow. Shouldering the lives of a whole world. A responsibility so great that nobody they knew or thought of would be able to bear.

But he is also a wise leader and great person. Building up everyone around him to be the best version of themselves. Taking care of his friends and loved ones and slaying gods and apocalyptic beasts the next.

Quetzalcoatl licked her lips and felt that he is the ultimate example of human evolution. Scàthach fidgeted as she thought that his form as a human, fighting gods when he was just a fraction of her age was hot.

The ladies got more interested in him. Seeing his epic that dwarfs every other hero. Something about his competence and love for his women tugged at them.

He was perfect in every sense. Not only does he look pleasant as hell, he takes care of his people well, extremely powerful, intelligent, wise, charismatic, and not to mention. So rich he makes Gilgamesh look like a hobo. Even Eden is so damned rich she could sustain the entire planet for a long time.

"A fun fact about our husband as well. His beauty and appeal as a woman is also unmatched." Aponia showed Ein as a woman and the guys had their jaws drop.

"Umu... It really takes a man, to be the best girl." Astolfo nodded sagely. Meanwhile, Achilles couldn't believe it and was in denial. He will be having dreams of Ein as a woman and it will bring him troubling times.

"Is that really him as a woman? He could start entire wars with his charm..." Semiramis got depressed, thinking that's why he doesn't give her a 2nd glance no matter what she does. He's more fucking beautiful and sexy than her.

"Yes, he could change his form to whatever he wants. Though he only takes on his male and female form." Aponia chuckled, successfully dropping a bomb on the poor servants that were losing their minds.

Mordred and Atalanta then looked at their pitiful chests. Thinking why was the world so unfair.
