Solomon POV:
"Phew... I miss watching Magi☆ Mari~ I wonder if there were new episodes." I sigh sadly, it's been two weeks since I've arrived in this world. No magus, but certainly there is a weird energy floating around the globe. Just when I started thinking about something, snow hit my face. Wiping the snow, I turn my gaze towards the culprit.
"Sirin~ have you ever tasted the ice cream?" Sirin looked at me for a second and shook her head.
"I have not, what's ice cream?" My lips curled up at her answer. Grabbing the snow on the ground, I immediately threw it at her.
The sudden action startled her, as the snow hit her face. She wiped off the snow and the puff on her face was visible, it's like looking at the pufferfish...
"Pfft..." Sirin saw my snicker, she growled and asked angrily,
"What are you laughing at, Big brother?" The snicker on my face still continued, and tried to form coherent sentences.
"N-no- nothin.... Pfft." Sirin angrily shouted, her pout continued.
"Seriously?! I'm telling Mom!" She angrily ran off towards her house, leaving me behind. The snow continues to fall towards the running Sirin and Me.
"... 2nd herrscher... Sirin..." My eyes stared at Sirin's back, raising my head, I stared at the sky with a sad expression on my face.
"... Heavenly Father, What should I do...? That child is innocent, My Lord. She's too innocent yet... Why was her future so dark?" I took a deep breath and sighed heavily, opening my hand to let the snow fall on it.
"Heavenly Father... No matter how many "Futures" I see, tragedy always followed that child." Clenching my fist tightly, I followed Sirin towards the house.

«[Skip, skip, skip, bro when did game get fucking good- *Saw bunny Sirin* PERFECTION!]»
Five weeks, thousands of futures, thousands of tragedies and... Thousands of naught. Solomon saw it because of his Clairvoyant EX.
Ever since I've come to know about this "Honkai energy", I've come to the conclusion how weak humanity in this world is. No matter what world or universe I am in, "Humanity" would always be at the center of tragedy.
"It was an inevitable conclusion, a tragic fate. But damn! Previous Era?! Will of Honkai?! Imaginary tree and what the heck is going on?! How advanced humanity in this world are?!!!!" I thought to myself, like how??? You know what, I'm not gonna think how. Let's just accept the fact that this world is doomed, literally D.O.O.M.E.D with all Capital letters.
Sighing, a slight tug made me snap my thoughts, looking down I saw Sirin's face full of worries.
"Big brother... Is mom gonna be okay?" A smile creeped out of my face as I patted Sirin's head,
"Of course, your mother will be okay. She's just... tired, so we shouldn't disturb her rest." Switching my gaze towards her mother, pink line, pale skin and skinny body... Honkai radiation or corruption.
A phenomena when a low resistance person makes contact with Honkai energy one's body. It was completely different from mana or any other kind of energy I am familiar with.
Looking at Sirin, I said gently, "how about we baked a pastry, Sirin?"
Sirin nod sadly as she held my hand tightly, [Denial of Nothingness] can certainly help her mother.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It's been a week since Sirin's mother fell into Honkai corruption, Sirin grew worried as her mother continued getting weaker.
It's also the day, The "Doctors" will visit this village. Finding children to be part of "God's plan" to save more people.
Solomon silently stared at the distance, his gaze pierced through beyond the horizons. He can't do anything- no, he won't do anything.
Solomon knew he was a bystander and he knew it was evil not to do anything despite seeing the tragedy... But he can't help it. Even if he took action, even if he changed the future of "Sirin" it will not save her instead it will turn even more "Darker" than what it was supposed to be.
"Sorry Sirin... I can't do anything..." He bit his lips drawing blood from it. Solomon closed his eyes and he grasped his fingers together.
"Heavenly Father, I beg you please don't punish that child for what she is about to do. Please guide her and let her enter your paradise along with her mother and friends... Please, My Lord." Solomon knew he couldn't change it. The future was already set on stone, nothing can change it and no one will be able to change it.
So all he can do is pray, beg for God to pardon all her crimes that she is about to commit.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
February, 2000, New York.
"It has begun, the Humanity against Honkai." Solomon said as he got up from his seat, his eyes gleamed with calmness.
Solomon has been asking himself, is he Solomon the vessel of God or Romani Archaman who is human. Why didn't he save Sirin from misery, why should he act as an observer when he's not a machine.
God already gave him permission to do whatever he wants, he already experienced what it means to become a human. At this moment, he already found the answer he's been looking for.
"I'm gonna save her, not as a vessel of God; Solomon, but as a human; Romani Archaman who experiences the emotions that humanity can offer." With that said, he slowly floated and flew towards Siberia.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When Solomon arrived at Siberia, what greeted him was a burning stench of destruction. A burn crisp of nature.
Across his gaze, a towering metal stood tall, he knew what it was. "Babylon... How ironic, they really named it Babylon." Solomon is about to continue looking for Sirin when a massive Quasi-Black Hole appears in his view. He already found his little sister.
With that said, he flew off towards the Quasi-Black Hole.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I don't want to die... Big brother... Mama" Sirin cried as she slowly sucked into a Quasi-Black Hole, she was defeated. Despite having a power from "God", she still lost against the False Herrscher.
"Big brother... Mama... I don't wanna die..." Sirin silently cried, the opponent; Welt Yang, silently looked at her.
"This is the end, 2nd herrscher. You clouded yourself with revenge and now, you will pay the consequences of your own actions." Welt glared at Sirin who slowly got closer to a Quasi-Black Hole.
Just as the Quasi-Black Hole about to swallow Sirin, a light went past his cheeks, drawing blood from it.
"!!!! Who's there?!" Welt went to full alert and snapped his head, he looked around to identify the newcomer.
Yet when he looked back, he saw a Man. His tan skin, white braid hair that falls down to his right shoulder and wearing a medieval robe befitting a noble.
" Who are you? Are you trying to help the 2nd Herrscher?" Welt eyes turn red as the power of reason turned on.
Yet, the man did not reply instead he slowly levitated towards the Quasi-Black Hole, grabbing Sirin's hand. Pulling her away from it.
Sirin eyes slowly open, her eyes widen at her sight.
"Big brother..." Sirin silently said as her tears streamed out.
"Big brother... I'm scared..." She clung at his robe and cried, snot messing his robe.
Solomon's face turned gentle as he embraced Sirin, he knew the child was in pain, he knew she was clouded in anger, sadness, grief, sorrow... All emotions were cumulative in a child's perceptions.
"I know. Sorry Sirin, I didn't stop you from leaving... It was my fault. If only I listened to my heart from the very beginning." Solomon continues to embrace Sirin and with his other free arm, he reaches out towards the Quasi-Black Hole and a rune manifests into reality.
The first ever "magic" was manifest in the world, a foreign concept, a concept that isn't aligned with the current time and world .
When the rune manifested, the Quasi-Black Hole shrunk into the size of marble. Solomon used the rune of "Space" to counter the "Space" making it cancel to each other.
When that happened, Welt who's on the ground widened his eyes, his pseudo Star of Eden was gone!
His eyes hardened as he was about to use another Quasi-Black Hole when a light shot out, piercing his hand.
"-!!! Gah!!!!" Welt clenched his wounded arm as he raised his head. What greeted him was thousands of light particles condensed and turned into a "physical" and shot out towards him.
Using the authority of reason, he created hundreds of mecha to shield himself from the light particles that turn into a "physical".
With each attack from it, it created a 50 meter crater at the ground, bombing Welt Yang making him immobilized from his current position.
After a few seconds of getting bombed, the mechas turned into blue particles, disappearing from the wind.
Welt sigh in relief and once again look up, he knows he can't defeat this man. Not in the aftermath between him and Sirin's showdown.
As he was thinking, Solomon solemnly said,
"Welt Yang or should I say Joachim Nokianvirtanen, please leave. Leave us and you will never see us again and I will promise you, Sirin won't cause any more trouble." Hearing from it, Welt took a deep breath and was about to reply when a soothing mature voice replied instead,
"Can we take that it will not happen again, Mr.?" Welt look back and see a white haired woman, wearing a small short and black shirt and golden stripes, it was Cecelia Schariac the current strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal. She was holding a white lance known as: Abyss white flower.
"I will and I can certainly promise that she will not be able to do it again." Solomon nodded as wipe Sirin's snort using his other hem robe.
Cecelia smiled and was about to agree when a voice echoes through her ears,
"Cecelia, don't agree to it. You know, human is full of lies. We can't accept such an empty promise, not when it's the Herrscher itself."
"Overseer... But, they already promised." Cecelia denied and said seriously,
"The Herrscher is only a child, Overseer. And besides, Mr. Already said it will not happen again." After a seconds of silences, the voice finally responded,
"Very well, Cecelia." And cut off the contact between them.
"Was that Otto, Cecelia?" Welt look at her and asked seriously,
"Yes, it's seems Otto really want me to kill the 2nd Herrscher but... She's just a kid." Cecelia sadly said and the two of them continue talking.
Back to Solomon, he slowly move towards the ground and Sirin still clinging at him.
"Sirin, isn't time for you to let go now?" But Sirin only ignores him and continue to cling.
Solomon sighs and walk towards the Cecelia and Welt. Both of them turn their gaze towards Solomon and Sirin... Well, Welt still did not let down his guard.
Solomon said in a grateful voice, "you two... Thank you for understanding and I'm sorry for what this child has cause." But Sirin immediately respond,
"It's not my fault! It's Humanity's fault! Because of them, they took Bella, Agravain, Mom and everyone away from me!" Sirin shouted in anger and she grip the robe.
"Sigh, well yes, like I said I'm sorry and thank you." As they continue talking, Solomon immediately turn his head and look at the distance, making Sirin, Cecelia and Welt confused.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Sirin ask confusingly as she also look where Solomon looking at, yet she saw nothing.
"Sirin... Cling tightly. Mr. Welt, Ms. Cecelia, can you step closer to me, I fear you might get crossed in this scene." The trio looks confused and silently step closer to Solomon, when they notice something coming towards them.
"Is that..." Cecelia and Welt widened their eyes and Welt clicked his tongue.
"Honkai fissile. Otto that bastard, he really want us dead, huh." Cecelia frown as he solemnly gazed at the Honkai fissile coming towards them.
"Overseer... Do you really want to bury us alive?" Cecelia asked quietly as the Honkai fissile slowly coming towards them.
"Mr. Solomon, what are you gonna do?" Cecelia notice Solomon's action and asked seriously,
"I don't know what kind of missle is that but... I'm not gonna take that head on so... Sirin, can you open a portal?" Sirin look at Solomon and nodded.
A black-orange wormhole appeared below them, sucking them away. As they enter the wormhole, the Honkai fissile touches the ground and explodes.
"This is... Imaginary Space?" Welt said as he looks at the surrounding which encompass thousands of spaces structures itself.
Solomon silently stared at the "spaces structures" and said, "Encompass mathematical structure, existing outside the "material realm", it's overlapping with dimensions to dimensions itself. Even the flow of Time is also confusing enough, it was not "forward" nor "back" but it also has "up" and "down". This is like Earth. Stockings up each finite dimensions to each level of core, passing it through conceptual to even logic itself is twisting." Sirin and Cecelia tilt their head at Solomon's words, their face turns into " ヽ((◎д◎))ゝ" while Welt simply nodded, understanding what it truly means.
