——————————————

Following the events of the forming of the Stigmata belonging to the Herrscher of Corruption from the previous Era. Extensive research was performed on the stigmata in hopes of better understanding how natural stigmata work.

However it wasn't long before the Stigmata had left Theresa's body.

Detail reports on the experiences of Saint Freya Principal Theresa Apocalypse and Squad V Captain Natsuki Zero in the Dataspace were submitted into Schicksal.

Schicksal scientists also wanted to do research on the 12th Divine Key and more importantly on the 12th Herrscher herself. However, the Captain of the Hyperion vehemently refused both requests.

Overseer of Schicksal then forbade any personal requests to the Captain regarding the previous era Herrscher and the 12th Divine Key, knowing full well the consequences of pushing him.

Almost three weeks later, squad V Valkyries Kiana, Bronya and Mei, as well as the Vice Captain of the Hyperion Murata Himeko, embarked on a mission to explore an underwater cave and find the Xuanyuan Sword, one of the divine keys, as well as a Natural Stigmata, for Schicksal to research on place of the Stigmata lost on Theresa's body.

Flashback

Himeko and Zero were alone together in his room.

She sat on his bed, while he stood by the window, his arms folded. The atmosphere was very cold.

Zero:... So it really happened Huh?... What do you plan on doing?

Himeko:... I came to you for a reason... It's not just about me in this situation.

Zero:... Yeah..... I suppose not... Well. We both have our own things to say... So... I'll ask you first, what do you want to do?

Himeko:... I want to keep it... Obviously... Do you disagree?

Zero:... Hm.... it's not so much that I disagree... I don't personally mind having a kid even if it was unplanned... The problem comes after.

Himeko: ?

Zero: Himeko. I'll tell you something I told another lady a long time ago. I'm a human. But... I'm a different kind of human to all of you. It's hard to describe it in a way you will understand or will even accept...

Himeko: It's alright. I've already gone this far with you. No matter what you tell me, it won't change how I feel about you.

Zero:.... Well... To be frank. A miscarriage is highly likely.

Himeko:... Ah... My body right? I'm already taking in the load of Honkai energy... I suppose that wouldn't be good for the child.

Zero: That's not actually an issue here. A child of mine can be born regardless of what you have done to your body, but don't get any funny ideas about that. There will still be other consequences... The problem is that I am a conceptual existence. My children are born and are sustained through wishes.

Himeko: Wishes?

Zero: Yes. The body can be formed naturally. And that is sustained through what you eat through the umbilical cord like normal. But for the soul itself to take form, a strong desire from both the father and the mother needs to come about. Otherwise the baby just dies, being a soulless corpse and all in the womb.
