Schicksal HQ: Otto sat alone in the lab, contemplating the reality defying moment during the experiment. The "membrane" of the Imaginary Tree that even Durandal could not touch was fully pierced by K423's attacks and the Dragon Divine Keys' Zeroth Power. "HoV's control over Imaginary Space is unquestionable. It's very close now. The rest is a bit of time, and..." But then Durandal contacted him.

"Overseer, the base is under attack. Enemies are clearly prepared. The lab is compromised. HoV and HoD are escaping in the confusion. I'll find them as soon as possible, but the Divine Key also needs my protection." Said Durandal. 'World Serpent? Impeccable timing.' Said Otto in his mind. "We don't know their target yet. Protect the Divine Key and keep World Serpent off it. As for K423 and Dragon, they can run to their hearts' content. In fact, the farther the better. Without them there, we can handle World Serpent with free hands. They are not going anywhere without my knowledge. We can wait for a while to come back to them." Explained Otto. "I see."
