As long as I have no conscience, I will not be condemned by conscience.
Ultimately, Takatsuki was a person without conscience; he could Stand by and watch the Honkai occur without feeling any internal condemnation.
His only concern was whether his close ones would reject him because of it.
But as long as he concealed it well, there would be no problem!
Although he said that, Takatsuki still made preparations in advance, recalling all the YoRHa units worldwide through his abilities and transporting them to pre-set locations.
However, it must be said that the YoRHa units, which originally numbered only in the triple digits, had already grown to over two thousand people in less than a year in this world.
This number was even steadily increasing.
In their original world, the lunar server simply regarded the YoRHa units as pawns, so they never invested heavily in their development.
But in this world, it was different; Takatsuki vigorously promoted the development of the YoRHa units, after all, he still hoped to rely on these androids to fight the Honkai in place of the Valkyries.
Takatsuki had no conscience, and the androids didn't care about their sacrifices; after all, in their view, if the goal could be achieved, sacrifice was a means, especially since the current androids had the technology to upload and save, allowing them to "resurrect" in the Bunker and rejoin the battle.
Without discussing ethics or a series of philosophical issues, at least the resurrected androids were no different from the originals.
Another commendable point is…
The technological development of the YoRHa units does not seem to be included in the assessment range of Honkai intensity.
The intensity of Honkai strengthens with the development of civilization; it is a test from the Imaginary Tree for humanity, but the YoRHa units, perhaps because they do not belong to human civilization, have not been included in the assessment of the test.
Takatsuki once tried to have the YoRHa units teach some technologies to the Anti-Entropy, and under observation, it was clearly found that as knowledge spread, the Honkai became more powerful.
Although the extent of the change was very small, under professional monitoring, even small fluctuations would be noticed.
So Takatsuki gave up the idea of popularizing android technology, even though he himself was human.
But he himself didn't understand it; he just let the YoRHa units operate on their own, and he was responsible for managing the general direction.
Compared to the YoRHa units in Nier: Automata who fought for a thousand years for an empty goal they couldn't even see, the current life with clear goals and enough leisure time was much better.
The mental illnesses caused by excessive pressure, which led to system malfunctions, also improved significantly.
However, it was quite surprising to Takatsuki that androids could also have mental problems.
The actions of the YoRHa units were covert.
Originally, they were distributed all over the world, and the absence of one or two people would not be noticed.
Every member of the YoRHa unit prepared ample supplies, suspended their activities during this period, and began preparing for the upcoming Great Honkai from early May.
Although Takatsuki remembered that this Great Honkai occurred in May 2015, he did not know the exact time.
Only after completely searching his memory with the power of his Stand did he discover that he had never clicked on the so-called Schicksal archive records in the game when he played it, and even skipped the plot in many places.
He only knew about the Manila Honkai because it was mentioned in some game dialogues and when he was browsing online forums, Ana Schariac's name mentioned her first meeting with Owl was during the Manila Honkai.
So now, all he could do was wait.
He wore the specially made watch-type alarm device on his hand; at Takatsuki's request, the alarm volume of this thing was so loud it could scare someone to death, also to prevent him from missing the alert.
After all, even with the ringer on, phone calls often go unheard for various reasons.
Next, all that was left to do was wait.
While he was waiting, Takatsuki's daily routine didn't change much, so as not to reveal anything.
After all, if others found out that he stood by and watched so many people in Manila die, the internal conflict…
Takatsuki didn't know if it would erupt, but it was ultimately a hidden danger.
To record the daily waiting situation, he even found a diary and started updating it every day.
May 1st: Today I started writing a diary to record the daily waiting, to alert myself and review each day's work progress. Today is the first day of Labor Day, a holiday. The Honkai should also be on holiday. I played games with Kiana all day.
May 2nd: The Honkai still hasn't erupted. I went shopping with Mei and Durandal. As expected, I can't compare with them in shopping talent.
May 3rd: Otto seems to have discovered something. Durandal went back early. I originally planned to take Mei to the amusement park, but Kiana found out, and it turned into a team building activity, canceling the original nightlife plan. Damn Kiana, I'll remember this grudge.
May 4th: The holiday ended. Hestia dragged me to play games all day, saying she wanted to secretly train to defeat Kiana. You two, the Sleeping Dragons and Phoenixes of the gaming world, can you really determine a winner? In the evening, I took Seele to see Bronya, who had extended her training.
May 5th: Durandal slipped out again. Schicksal seems to have noticed news of the YoRHa units, or perhaps they already knew but chose to let it go because they only dealt with Honkai. These past few days, YoRHa members all over the world seemed to have vanished, which made them pay attention. Durandal asked me if something had happened, and I brushed her off with other matters.
May 6th: The price of brushing her off came. Durandal is such a big person, yet her sleeping posture is as bad as ever; she kicked me onto the floor again. In the morning, Mei seemed to notice something was off, so it looks like I'll have a tough night again.
May 7th: Coaxing Durandal…
May 8th: Coaxing Mei…
May 9th: Coaxing Durandal…
May 10th: Coaxing Mei…
May 11th: Takatsuki, oh Takatsuki, how can you be so depraved? The Honkai Eruption is about to descend, yet you're still running around because of a little bit of romance. Tomorrow, I absolutely cannot be like this! Tonight, I'll have a decisive battle with them!
May 13th: I slept all day yesterday, and the manga wasn't updated, but I don't have to worry about getting hate mail at St. Freya Academy. I've decided to stop doing unnecessary things from today onwards and focus on waiting for the Honkai to descend. However, summer is approaching, and the Valkyries' outfits seem to be getting more revealing.
May 14th: Watching Valkyries at St. Freya Academy…
May 15th: Watching Valkyries…
May 16th: Got caught by Mei. Can't stay at St. Freya Academy tomorrow.
May 17th: Watching android ladies at the Bunker…
May 18th: Should I take back the ability I lent to Durandal? She can even catch me at the Bunker?
May 19th: Watching Valkyries at Schicksal, got caught by Rita. Did she put a tracker on me?
May 20th: Went to Shenzhou Commercial Street to look at beauties and got caught by Kiana. So every time I'm exposed, it's because of this guy. Is the Herrscher of the Void's ability meant to be used like this?! To track me!?
May 21st: The Honkai hasn't come yet. I've decided to focus on updating my manga at home…
