[Anti-Entropy Visual Novel] Summary

The [Herrscher of Reason] is led out of a shady car towards a certain facility in [London] – [Research lab 42], at that time he having an amnesia and don't know his true nature, and was being called Ω1.

He's greeted by the renowned scientist [Lieserl Albert Einstein]. She assures him that he's not going to be experimented on from now on, so she gives him a proper name [Welt], Ω mean [W], the name Welt mean [World].

And then she shows him to his room, when Welt got to his room he finds a delicious truffle waiting for him, so he decides to dig in.

The next morning, he's woken up by a blow to the head delivered by a woman with red hair. She angrily explains that the food Welt found last night was her precious truffles, then she introduces herself as [Nikola Tesla], one of the other scientists living there.

Now in the living room, the 2 scientists explain to him his new job: Welt has to [arrange their schedules] and [organize activities]. Other than that, he can do whatever he pleases with his free time.

So, he decides to pay a visit to the library to find where he could take the two girls, at the library he meet Einstein Associate name [Finn], they talk to each other for a moment and continue his search, but he comes back empty handed. As such, Einstein takes him to an Italian restaurant.

On the way back from Italian restaurant, they meet with Finn, who hands them a letter from a person called [Schrodinger]

In it, Schrodinger tells Einstein that she's found an exciting new game she wants to try out with her, along with some words in a strange language that lead them to country called [America].

Welt goes to wake up Tesla back at the lab and they head to America.

Before they board the plane, Einstein gives Welt his passport, in it his full name written on it: [Welt Joyce].

When arriving in America, they're greeted by a man accompanied by S-Rank Valkyrie [Reanna Briganntia], who are sent by the overseer to hand them The Dead Sea Scrolls and a box of chocolates as a gift.

Einstein and Tesla enter a lingerie store, so that leaves Finn and Welt outside talk to each other.

They have a talk about the girls, and Welt wants to ask him about his personal life who later Finn ends up teasing him instead.

After the second flight, they arrive in [Billings, Montana], where they meet with [Schrodinger] and [Planck]. They have dinner, then head back to the hotel, when Planck makes a joke about Welt being Einstein and Tesla's slave, but Schrodinger chimes in telling her she finds such a joke inappropriate in a country built by [Lincoln].

The next morning, the squad heads to their next destination: [Yellowstone Lake]. Tesla talks about the fact that male mammals have lower Honkai resistance, which led to multiple war criminals during the history of the world.

Welt is worried about that, but Einstein assures him that he is and was a kind person.

The young man asks her what evidence there is to sustain such claim, but Einstein just tells him to trust her.

Finn also explains to Welt what they know about the previous era: unlike the human species from the current era, that dates from around 4000 BC, the humans from the previous era were the ones to leave Africa in 53000 BC and settle on new lands. Also different from the current era is the fact they were more unified, in the sense that they shared the same culture and language.

Since they began using Honkai energy from an early stage, land wasn't a point of interest for them, so the American continent was left untouched.

At Yellowstone Lake, they go underground using an elevator and find ruins of the [previous era civilization].

There Einstein leads the way by following a mosquito sound. Even if the cave wasn't supposed to be used in the past 50000 years, they find bones, rifles, and abandoned tents.

Planck tells the group to just wait patiently, for in the future the mystery of why such things exist in a cave that was supposed to be left untouched for a large period of time may be solved.

They arrive at the source of the sound: a modern looking room, with a message written in English inscribed on the ceiling: "To the youngs who came here, I leave the last [Soulium] to you. Knight of Maiden Castle - H Lodinium Doire A" [HA]

They solve the riddle, figuring out that something else besides the [Soulium] is waiting for them in [Lodonderry].

As such, they split in 2 teams: one heading to London, made of the [lab 42] crew minus Finn, with the rest staying in America to study the ruins further.

Planck is also coming to London then heading to Vienna to speak with the overseer on the behalf of the North American branch, as to communicate about the conflicts between the North America team and Schicksal.

On the plane back to London, Planck teases Welt, telling him they should go on a date now, when they have the chance.She's obviously joking, so she continues to ask him whether or not Welt thinks he can protect the two girls well enough. Welt says he'll do so within his power, but that's not enough: after the findings today, Planck concludes that HA must have had a conflict with Schicksal, and chose to leave clues for the next generation to find. As such, the path ahead will be a dangerous one.

In Londonderry, after a round of shopping, Einstein shows Tesla and Welt around and tells them about Ireland's history.

Einstein manages to find the next clue inscribed on one of the cannons: The innocent queen was blindfolded, which leads to them realizing that it's referring to 'The Execution of Lady Jane Grey'.

The next day, they head to the museum to check on the painting. They find that since it's been coated with Soulium, it's been preserved in peak condition. Einstein takes out a device to absorb the Soulium from the canvas and places it on the surface of the painting.

She tells everyone to cover their ears, after which the contraption begins generating an ear piercing noise. Welt freaks out because Einstein was the only one not protecting her ears and resorts to covering hers instead.

Turns out there was no need for that, as Einstein is naturally immune to this kind of noise.

Tesla scolds Welt for not listening to them and storms off. Welt and Einstein head back to the lab, where she introduces the young man to a previous era AI called [Ada]. Ada scans the Soulium and finds a recording of a wounded woman talking about how Schicksal's efforts of purging the Honkai are fruitless, as she believes that's impossible to accomplish.

The woman also says that she's left something else in the rest of the Soulium. Unlocking its contents will take about 4 weeks with Ada running at full capacity, so Einstein tells Welt to take responsibility and find a way entertain her and Tesla for these next few weeks.

Late at night, Welt worriedly waits for Tesla's return while reading another one of [Clown α] letters.

In it, he talks about how unfair it is that humanity has to face off against an enemy like the Honkai, but it's progress is nonetheless halted by its own internal conflicts, As he puts it, humanity is its own worst enemy.

He gives Kallen as an example of the perfect being, a being capable to face its own weaknesses. In his vision, if everyone were like her, then humanity would become so powerful that the Honkai would become an insignificant issue.

A few hours pass, and Tesla finally returns back home, fully drunk. She rants about gender roles and goes to grab another drink, but Welt stops her by grabbing her hands. The long night is finally over when Einstein delivers a dictionary blow to Tesla's head.

The next day, Tesla takes Welt with her to the cemetery to feed the cats. He meets with the Valkyrie Reanna, and they pay their respects to her fallen comrade together. They then get spooked by Tesla and Finn son,[Joachim] flying robots dressed as ghosts, after which Reanna disintegrates them using one of the God key series [6th God key: Abyss Flower] made by previous [Herrscher of Death] Core. Later that evening, she helps Tesla and Einstein repair them.

Towards the end of the month, Welt finds a discount for a beach resort called "West cliff Rita" in a newspaper and takes the 2 scientists there. There, Einstein finds some time to play the piano and tell Welt her story and the eruption that happen 3 year ago, The young man begins to feel guilty about the Berlin eruption, but Tesla tells him to not worry about it.

Einstein and Welt take a walk on the beach, where they're approached by a girl (Fuhua), who's overheard their conversation in the dining hall. She gives Welt a book with poems, then wishes him good luck. Late at night, they lay down on the sand and look at the stars.

Later that same day, Welt goes into the showers where [Clown α] himself was waiting for him. He introduces himself as Otto Apocalypse, the overseer of Schicksal. He proposes to Welt to make him the successor of the organization by taking him in the Apocalypse family. Otto then asks what exceptional means to him, and a few people come to Welt's mind: Newton, Shakespeare, Nightingale, Peter 1 or even even Gautama Buddha: the founder of Schicksal himself, but Otto doesn't think any of these people is truly exceptional.

Otto thinks that Welt has something they didn't have, that being the fact that he's surrounded himself with so many exceptional people. They continue the conversation some more, before the electricity goes out and Welt decides to refuse his offer and leave.

Because of that, his clothes won't have time to dry so Margaret, the waitress of the hotel, gives him some new ones, along with some pepper spray left by the girl (Fu Hua).

The next day they return to the lab to see what Ada has found in the soulium. Firstly, they find a text: [Follow the Freedom Trail, then visit Lexington in the midnight.]

Secondly, HA's left another video, encouraging them to not blindly hate someone but to work hard to improve their judgement. She also tells them her real name: Harmony Ayette, with her surname Motier, also known as "the Godfather".

They go back to America and take a walk along the Freedom Trail. They find recordings regarding the 12th herrscher of the previous era and her victimis. They also find a recording with HA's personal thoughts on the matter: she was a Valkyrie working for Schicksal, and got [Niels Henrik Abel] to translate some of the recordings that she found. But, in 1829, the scholar was accused of false charges and was imprisoned by Schicksal. She was also falsely accused, but managed to escape Schicksal and keep the information from the [Soulium].

After this last recording, they find a large sphere that Ada lifts the hyperdimensional camouflage from. Inside of it, they find the [9th divine key: Eden's star] made by using the previous civilization [Herrscher of Earth] core. Suddenly, an earthquake occurs, knocking Welt out. Apparently, it was also followed by an electromagnetic Honkai pulse with it's epicentre in Manhattan, where Edison and the others work.

Besides that strange occurrence, barnacles are also growing out on the streets. They get in contact with three Emergency response administration people that bring a tank, but they also meet with Reanna along the way.

They get to the source of the radiation, where they find a centipede looking beast. It approaches the tank, but Tesla's squad injects anti-Honkai chemicals in it, which creates a perfect opportunity for Reanna to come in and take it down using the abbys flower.

Welt and the others begin fiddling around with the 9th divine key, trying to learn how to use it. While on their way to Manhattan, a wounded woman comes out in front of the car. Reanna heals her using the Abyss flower's one of the special ability Zero output, after healing her she introduces herself as [Elaine Glaston].

Her and dr. Mikhail Morgan are studying the Honkai on their own. As thanks, she takes them to their place where the nurse, Hellawes, treats them to a delicious meal. Percival, one of the other people working there, takes in a man covered in wounds which Reanna identifies as Honkai beast marks, so she heads there by herself to take care of it. Einstein also shows Elaine the "Astra ammunition" they have for fighting against Honkai beasts.

Suddenly, they hear a knock at the door. To their surprise, the one at the door was no other than Schrodinger herself, now half a Honkai beast. She attacks them, but Einstein blocks it using the 9th divine key. She explains that she knows what that weapon is by 'sniffing' its 'smell', an ability that's similar to having an extra sensory organ.

Schrodinger keeps taunting Welt by reminding him of his Herrscher side, but Einstein keeps protecting and shielding him. She tries to get a response out of him, by calling him out and telling him to fight her like a real man with his own powers.

Welt begins to hear two voices in his head. One telling him to just buy time until Reanna comes back, and another one from a certain psychologist, telling him to face her head on and believe in his power. Suddenly, many more encouraging voices chime in, drowning the sound of the negative one.

He convinces Einstein to hand him the Star of Eden by telling her that he can feel everyone's power within him. A fight breaks out between him and Schrodinger, but it's then interrupted by Reanna. Turns out, Schrodinger was just trying to help Welt awaken his powers, but her approach was a little over the top.

Eventually, Tesla also wakes up and asks Welt what his power is. Problem is, he has no idea. They then pick up a radio signal from Nancy that's throwing a ball of Honkai energy into the ocean killing her in the process, while Tesla has hear teary goodbye with her.

What happen before is that Schrodinger and Nancy was doing a experiment, the experiment was called project [Selene], and when they doing the experiment, they unexpectedly causing it go wrong.

Finn also shows up to the scene, confessing that he messed up Edison's calculations because the overseer threatened his son.In that moment, Reanna turns into Otto and stabs him. Otto attacks Welt and the 2 scientist with Black Orchid, knocking them out. and Otto told them Reanna are his past Valkyrie he turn it into a Robot with a solium and she was the best pawn.

Thanks to Margaret, and Ada's efforts though, Schrodinger manages to get a hold of the Abyss flower and use it to save them. As a result of this, Schrodinger quantizises out of there, and Welt acquires the knowledge necessary to "create life".

He picks up the Star of Eden, and creates a black hole, doing his best to suck Otto in and almost win the battle. Even so, Otto manages to to shoot the [Star of Eden] using one of his personal God key,[1st God key: Void archives] with it's ability to transform to any series of God keys with is special ability, and then trap everyone using a clone of the [Key of binding].

As he contemplates his current situation, Otto crashes Planck's helicopter right where they were. He tries to kill Joachim first, but Welt tries to protect him.

In that moment, Margaret creates a disturbance in the Soulium using a strange device, and tells Welt to use the pepper spray in his pocket, as it's actually a drug made to suppress Soulium. Reanna takes over her body again, and stabs herself with the Abyss flower to get rid of Otto for good. The victory doesn't last long though, as Margaret informs them that Schicksal has raised its alert level to "zero".

Reanna helps Welt make a radar by sharing her information, and they see that a ballistic missile coming towards them.

As such, Reanna makes up a plan to save New York: she uses the Abyss flower to destroy the detonator, while her her body is disintegrated from the heat. Welt then creates a shield to protect the city underneath. But, alas, while creating the barrier, the wounds inflicted by the [Oath of Judah] open up, sealing his fate. As such, since the only one present and fitting enough to inherit the core is Joachim, he is the one that is chosen to carry this responsibility.
