Notes:

If you haven't played ggz or the new hi3 episodes, I warn you that this episode contains spoilers. Just like the previous chapter, this one will also focus on the interactions of the characters where we will see funny situations created due to misunderstandings created by the characters' paranoia. Just warning this story is not a crackfic, throughout the chapters the tone of the story becomes more serious where we will see philosophical debates about existential questions.

William remains silent as he looks intensely at our protagonists from Honkai Impact 3rd and Guns Girl Z and observes the confusion that is going through the characters' minds at this moment while showing a poker face to the characters, which only makes him more cautious and fearful about William's intentions, which for many give an aura of a villain, for others an aura of authority...

Kallen

"Now I am really confused. How did I die? The only thing I remember before I came here I was beside Fu Hua and Hokushin Mei giving support to defeat Anila a girl corrupted by Honkai who was the cause of the black plague in all of Europe and we managed to seal her off, then after that I was pulled to this place where I have been meeting strange people I have never seen who seem to know who I am even though I have never seen them in my life, even Otto that I met here looks nothing like the Otto I knew, just as we have two Mei's that look nothing like Hokushin Mei and according to this person Su who stopped the assassination attempt on Mei claimed that these two Mei's came from an alternate world, this makes a lot of sense when you look closely at the two people..."

Kallen continues to reflect on how bizarre his situation is.

Kevin

"I've died? Is this for real? I think I drank too much and now I'm dreaming! That is the only logical explanation. After all, how is it possible to have two Mei from two different realities? And if that wasn't enough we still have a clown doing a cosplay of Gendo Akari who claims to know all the secrets of the universe that contains the key to defeat Honkai, this is definitely not real!"

Kevin tries to deny the reality before his eyes precisely because he cannot accept that he died in battle.

Tesla

"Universal truth that rules even Honkai itself!? What kind of bullshit is this!? This can only be a joke! Just like your announcement about our death as well as the existence of this place that exists outside of time and space!

Tesla starts to freak out.

Einstein

"I have always wondered what happened to people after death. Although we have many historical records and accounts of people who have told us about their experiences in another world, it doesn't change the fact that even today no one really knows what really happens after death, precisely because no one has actually been resurrected to tell us the truth. This is a perfect opportunity to remove my doubts about this mystery and other secrets that the universe holds."

Einstein demonstrates she is looking forward to it, even though she is facing the unknown.

Otto

"This voice and this imposing aura that this being emits can only come from a higher being, beyond our imagination, would this being God be the one who created the universe, as well as the one who created Honkai for us to test? Just observe the way he looks at us it is the same kind of look that Honkai sent to me, judging whether our entire existence is something worthy of his attention, after all we are just ants to him."

Otto shows admiration and respect for the being before him because of its power.

Kiana

"This pose, his look and aura give me the same vibe as villains like Otto, Kevin...no he is worse! He is the Devil himself and will send our souls to hell to have fun and make us his sex toys, just like those perverts, I cannot allow someone like him touch in Mei Senpai!"

Kiana feels dread and anger as she looks at him.

Mei

"I don't know what the intentions of this being plus one thing is for sure I don't care if he is God or the Devil, if this being does anything to my Kiana he will suffer a fate worse than death, For I will not rest until I make him pay.

Mei as well as Kiana fears the being that stares at them.

Kyuushou

"System Room? Why does this look familiar? Is it because I have the feeling that I am inside an isekai novel? Could it be that those isekai novels and fanfictions I have been reading about Homu were real stories and not just stories for our entertainment?! If so I assume that just as occurs in an isekai novel a god or entity will us reincarnated in a new world. I wonder what kind of world it will send us, will it be to some fantasy world?"

Kyuushou as always is breaking the 4th wall.

Bronie

"I wonder what I did to get this being's attention. Did he see my skills as a hacker and became interested in them? And now he has summoned me here to solicit my services?"

Thinks Bronie who although he has found out that he has died see that it is still possible to benefit from the situation.

Aponia

"I think now I understand what my friends felt when they saw that their destinies and their lives were an open book for me that allowed me to always be one step ahead of everyone else, but now I am as lost as they are about my destiny."

Aponia's fear comes from her insecurity in dealing with a situation where her powers are useless in getting out of the current situation.

Fu Hua/Senti

"Veteran I am afraid! I have never felt something like this before. I can't see and feel any sign of his presence, just as I can't access his mind even though he is standing before us. It's as if he doesn't exist. Could he be a haunting? What do we do now veteran?" Senti comments to Fu Hua mentally.

"I also realized this. Every living being emits an aura, even Honkai Beasts and Herrschers or any other life form that could exist in this universe emits an aura, plus this being before us does not emit any aura which is something impossible, which raises the suspicion that this person in front of us is a projection not a real being and what to do now? Unfortunately we can only observe and stay still to determine his true intentions and please stop your attempts to read that person's mind, I believe that  thisperson who brought us here is very aware about what we are capable of and using this approach will only make him upset. " Replies Fu Hua to Senti.

Just like Aponia Fu Hua/Senti find themselves in a situation that is totally out of control.

Welt Wang

"This being is on a totally different level than the Sugars, when he actually said we are outside of time and space he was not kidding, even through my Herrscher powers I don't feel any presence of space and time in this place, more how is this possible? After all we are in outer space, unless this is not outer space, and the stars we observe are not really stars, but actually something else! That is, nothing in this place is really what it seems, just as this being before us is using a human appearance to communicate with us, since we could never understand something that doesn't even have a defined form. I hope that this being is no more hostile than Honkai, after all a being who claims that there is a power capable of transcending Honkai itself is something we cannot take lightly."

Although Welt is fearful, he believes that the being looking at him has no malicious intentions. Despite its aura of authority.

Su

"A universal truth that governs Honkai itself? What does he really mean by this? If this is even possible, the being before us must not only have the answer on how to defeat Honkai but also has the power to make such a statement, now the more important question is why would such a powerful being waste his time summoning us here?! This is very suspicious, if no being from any higher dimension has so far shown no interest in helping humans, why only now has he decided to show up?"

Su, who has observed the sea of quanta for a long time, has seen that in none of the many realities that exist there has he found any entity helping mankind, and for this reason he is suspicious about William's intentions.

Dr.Mei

"So this is the afterlife? It's very different from what I had imagined, so everything I read in books was wrong? More importantly, what is this Deja-Vu feeling? The last time I had this feeling was when I had a dream about the stars watching me and plotting something, and when I look at it I feel the same way. Is because the number of people who have been summoned corresponds to the same number of Herrschers? This is very suspicious! It is as if we are all just chess pieces in a cosmic game between entities where no matter who wins the game, in the end we all lose."

Like Su, Dr. Mei is suspicious about William's intentions, based on her personal experiences with Herrschers that have traumatized her. Because of this she has become a paranoid and negative person, especially seeing that all her attempts to stop Honkai in the previous era ended in failure has made her lose hope.

Turning back to William's pov.

"So that's what it's like to look at the world through other people's eyes. I not only heard their thoughts but also felt their emotions as if they were my own, I believe this is what people call empathy. I assume that the reason for forming a bond with a system user is to increase our efficiency in supporting the user, after all a more human system can increase the user's trust towards a system that due to empathy and its loyalty to the user will do anything to save the user even sacrificing its own life and existence to ensure that the ambitions and desires of its users are fulfilled even if they are selfish desires that could bring destruction to the world. However, there is a major flaw in empathy. It was made only for pure existences without Ego who would sacrifice their own self to help strangers, something like a machine that will follow its programming to the letter, leaving aside its self-preservation. In a human that has Ego, empathy can be more of a headache and a curse than really a blessing. Just look at what happened to characters like Martian Manhunter, Jean Gray and Professor Xavier, who although they have empathy due to their telepathy, it didn't stop them from doing atrocities, and empathy hindered them more than helped them, after all, hearing thousands of people in your mind is not something for an ordinary person. If just listening to 14 people in my mind is already giving me a headache imagine the damage that thousands of minds could do to my psyche, it's no surprise the reason why these characters went crazy, after all this was not a power made for humans, although I am no longer a human does not mean that it stops being a nuisance to listen to several people talking at the same time, in your head. Even after they sleep I will still continue to hear their thoughts and feel their emotions."

This makes William annoyed.

"This raises another important issue, as empathy would hinder me more than help me, since just by, the fact that I read people's thoughts will only hinder in my attempts to establish a trusting relationship. It is as I had already imagined, I am being sabotaged from the start. "

He continues to mentally ramble ignoring the people around him, without realizing that the people didn't ignore him they noticed William's change of expression and began to be frightened by his bad mood that bordered on the intent to kill.

Kiana

"What is this pressure I'm feeling? Is it so strong that I can barely breathe because I'm not able to move my body? Not even the Herrscher of the end had such an oppressive presence. "

Mei

"Again that feeling of helplessness always comes back to haunt me! It was like that with Sirin, Schicksal, Honkai...How many times do I have to go through this? Why won't anyone leave us alone!? "

Welt

"There is no presence of Honkai energy coming from him. How is he emitting such pressure?! Could it be that just as a second dimensional being cannot interact with or affect a third dimensional being, a third dimensional being facing a being that surpasses all concept of time and space would not be able to perceive the existence of such a being, the same for high dimensional beings, since he exists in the void, he is definitely in a dimension of power totally different from any being I have interacted with before. "

Fu Hua/Senti

" I think he got upset and is going to punish us! I'm sorry veteran for the trouble I caused you!"

"Calm down Senti! Nothing will happen to you. I believe the reason for your annoyance is not directed at us."

"Don't try to console me, veteran! That doesn't change the fact that he is unleashing a strong killing intent."

Kevin

"Did he not like it when I called him a cosplay? Is he now going to punish us?"

Otto

"Looks like some Idiot decided to question his authority making him totally upset!"

Meanwhile William who was still unaware of what was going on, takes a cup of coffee with his eyes closed to calm himself down, while reflecting what he is going to do.

"Well I thought of embodying characters like Igor, Gendo Akari and Sōsuke Aizen I could convey the impression that the being before them is not only an imposing figure, but also a mysterious being who holds many mysteries while emanating a strong authority that cannot be questioned. But seeing their reactions and first impressions, I come to the conclusion that it is better for me to be myself, than to pass myself off as a character, besides dispelling as many doubts as possible to try to give a good first impression, likewise I will not change who I am to please people cannot accept me for, what I am."

William opens a smile while still sipping his coffee while still keeping his eyes closed. The Smile was seen as a death sentence for our other protagonists who have now become afraid.

Kiana

"Or not, he will send our souls to hell!"

Kyuushou

"Hell! What have I done to deserve this?"

Bronie

"I knew this Tuna would bring us trouble!"

William hears the commotion and opens his eyes to see what is going on. He sees that everyone is lying on the ground. This leaves him confused.

"Hmmm! What's going on, why are they all lying on the ground? "

The oppressive wave that everyone was feeling disappears the moment William pays attention to them and the characters can now move freely and for some reason ask for mercy while others try to confront him. We see Kallen kneeling down to ask for forgiveness.

"Please, my lord god forgive them, they don't know what they are doing. It was not their intention to offend you."

Otto is surprised to see this.

"So just as my dear Kallen is also willing to sacrifice herself to save others. History repeats itself again."

Kiana seeing Kallen worries that something might occur to her, so she decides to confront William.

"Don't do this! Can't you see that the person before you is a demon?!" But don't worry I Kiana Kaslana will protect you from this demon whatever it costs."

Then Raiden Mei seeing Kiana's attitude that even in the face of the unknown she will not back down decides to support Kiana even though she knows they could easily die.

"Don't forget about me Kiana, I will support you regardless of your choice."

Kyuushou seeing this also decides to help them both because she believes that to be a savior you have to act like one, as well as not wanting to see Kiana and Mei lose their lives again, even if these people are not the same people she knew.

"Count me in too! After all as a savior it is my duty to fight all the evil that exists in the world!"

Kevin as a gentleman, could not stand by and watch beautiful women sacrifice themselves before his eyes.

"I as a hero of justice who works against the injustices that exist in the world who fights to protect all that is beautiful in the world, cannot stand by and watch beautiful women sacrifice themselves in front of me!"

The other characters who were watching this were incredulous and displeased at such stupidity of these people.

Tesla

"We are all screwed and he even warned us not to question his authority, plus those idiots haven't realized this yet!"

Einstein

"There goes our chance. It's really a pity what happened, when we finally have the opportunity to get answers about the secrets of the universe, someone for some reason upset the being is now he won't want to answer us anymore."

Bronie

"From the looks of it Tuna's stupidity is both hereditary and contagious!"

Otto

"It seems that all my warnings have been ignored and at this point that being who had almost no patience will no longer tolerate our presence."

Fu Hua/Senti

"What are these idiots doing? Can't they see the great gulf of difference that exists between us and that being?!" Senti questions the actions of those people."

"I don't know if you noticed but didn't you see the change in his expression? He looks like he is just as confused as we are and that killing intent he sent doesn't look like it was directed at us. Fu Hua calming Senti further fails."

"Stop getting your hopes up veteran, our fate is in his hands from the start, we can't do anything about it!"

Su

"This Kevin is the complete opposite of the Kevin of my reality, the Kevin of my reality is a dense person even when surrounded by women, but this one likes to be surrounded by girls and does nothing to hide it. This one would certainly get along very well with Elysia, I hope he is spared. Speaking of which these expressions  this being is making are very human for a supposed entity.
