As such, Fu Hua has started avoiding human interaction altogether. The Book of Fuxi then plays with some children, while Fu Hua is told the Book has gone missing. Fu Hua searches in desperation, stating that the Book is all she has left of her friends before she finds the Book. The Book convinces her to attend the Spring Festival, and tells Fu Hua that she wishes for her to be happy, as Fuxi and Nuwa had wished for her as well.

* **CE**, March 3, 1972 - Theresa Apocalypse is "born", created by Otto Apocalypse using Kallen Kaslana and the Honkai Beast Vishnu's DNA. She is unable to age past 12 years old physically. She is put through a series of tests by Otto to decide if she is "fit" for survival, her final test being to murder the only other clone created in the same batch as her, as the clone had passed all the tests as well. She wins the fight, but is merciful. It is unknown what happened to the other clone (only known as A-303). Theresa impresses Otto with her show of strength and kindness, and so he adopts her as his granddaughter, bestowing her with the name Theresa.

Her friends from the village Bella, Galina, Avrora, and Agata are all taken there with her. They are experimented on in order to perfect artificial stigmata for Schicksal's valkyries. One by one, each of the girls die from poor Honkai adaptability, and the lab personnel's terrible treatment of her and her friends traumatizes Sirin. Sirin survives due to her innate Honkai adaptability, and apparently, her ability to purify the Honkai in her blood (although she describes the pain caused by this process as excruciating). She is the lab's prime test subject, much to her appall. It is later revealed that the reason so many were dying of Honkai radiation in Sirin's village is because Babylon was infecting the villagers with Honkai in an attempt to find those with resistance. When the adults all died, they took in the children for further testing.

She kills all 322 of the lab's personnel.

#### Schicksal HQ

* **CE**, 1200 hours, February 2, 2000 - Theresa Apocalypse is playing with her niece (an affectionate term as Kiana isn't actually Theresa's niece) Kiana Kaslana, while Kiana's parents Cecilia and Siegfried watch fondly. This is when Schicksal is notified of the mass death at Babylon Labs, so it sends A-Rank Valkyries Theresa Apocalypse and Patricia Highsmith to investigate.

#### Davis-Monathan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona

* **CE**, >1200 hours, February 2, 2000 - Schicksal's opponent, Anti-Entropy, is notified of the massive Honkai output in Babylon labs. Dr. Einstein suggests it could be the awakening of the Second Herrscher, and that Schicksal must have already mobilized. Anti-Entropy mobilizes under the word of its sovereign, Welt Yang, who declares that if they cannot turn the Herrscher to their cause (as Welt has done), then they must kill the Herrscher.

#### Babylon Labs

* **CE**, 1152 hours, February 3, 2000 - Theresa arrives at Babylon Labs and convenes with Patricia, who had arrived earlier. The two investigate the tower, and find the victims of the experiments locked in prison cells. They free the girls, and encounter Sirin for the first time, as Sirin is among the prisoners, having returned to her cell after finishing her slaughter. Theresa sees nothing unusual about her and regards her as a normal girl, but Patricia is suspicious of Sirin.
* **CE**, ~0000 hours, February 4, 2000 - Sirin returns to the reactor pile to recharge her Honkai reserves. Patricia confronts her, having expected her arrival. They get into a fight.

* **CE**, February 4, 2000 - Tesla, Einstein, and Welt Yang arrive in Siberia, 5 km away from the building, as representatives for Anti-Entropy. They meet Patricia Highsmith, who is revealed to be a double agent for Anti-Entropy. Patricia has lost her right arm in her fight with Sirin, and apologizes for being unable to subdue the potential Herrscher. She requests Anti-Entropy to help save her friends in Schicksal from dying needlessly to Sirin.

#### Babylon Labs

* **CE**, February 4, 2000 - Sirin speaks to a Honkai insect about how she needs to recharge after spending so much energy in her fight with Highsmith. The insect offers to aid her by distracting the guards of the reactor pile. At the same time, sensors in Babylon pick up readings of 500 Honkai beasts converging on the tower (presumably the work of the Honkai bug who offered to help Sirin). This is also when Siegfried Kaslana, and A-Rank Valkyries Salome Jokanaan and Shub-Niggurath arrive, just in time to defeat the horde of Honkai beasts.
* **CE**, February 4, 2000 - Sirin recharges her Honkai energy at the reactor pile.

### Post-Second Eruption

* **CE**, ? BP - K-423, a biological clone of the original Kiana, is created by Otto Apocalypse, as a host for Sirin. All other attempts failed until implanting Core of the Void inside her.

* **CE**, August 18, 2000 - Bronya Zaychik is born to the deceased Alexei Zaychik and an unnamed mother. Presumably, her mother died during or after childbirth, as Bronya is immediately taken in by an organization that uses her as a child soldier.

#### Nazagora

* tba Mei’s core explodes, turning all citizens of Nazagora into zombies. (Placeholder statement)

#### Central Hong Kong

* **CE**, 2014 - While on a date, Murata Himeko is interrupted by reports of a Honkai eruption in Nazagora, ‘on par with “that” incident 14 years ago (The Second Honkai Eruption).’ She boards the Hyperion and travels to Nazagora.

#### Nazagora

* **CE**, 2014 - K-423 and Mei run through the crowds of people, K-423 with double pistols and Mei with a shotgun. They encounter a Honkai Beast and are unable to damage it with their guns, but Bronya Zaychik arrives in the nick of time and defeats it. After the three girls have a small bicker about who Mei likes the best, they rest in an abandoned apartment. Bronya sleeps on Mei's lap, making K-423 jealous, until Mei says she loves both girls, satisfying K-423. Zombies growl outside as K-423 declares she'd sacrifice herself for Mei, when their moment is interrupted by a Honkai Beast (a different one than before; to be identified) attacking their building. Bronya, having woken up at the disruption, summons Project Bunny, the tips of Project Bunny and the beast's weapons colliding. Bronya holds on until the beast uses a burst of force and pushes her through several buildings. Mei calls out Bronya's name, too distracted to see the beast about to strike from behind. K-423, making good on her earlier declaration, jumps between the beast and Mei, subsequently being slashed diagonally across the back. K-423 collapses against Mei, who falls to the ground and begins to scream. The beast goes to strike again but is blocked by a sphere of lightning. The Herrscher of Thunder emerges and explodes the beast.

#### The Hyperion

* **CE**, 2014 - An Executive Officer aboard the Hyperion alerts Major Himeko of a Honkai Energy spike, to which Himeko orders the crew to prepare for battle.

#### Nazagora

* **CE**, 2014 - The Herrscher of Thunder acts very possessive towards K-423, telling her to wake up as the Herrscher is the only one 'allowed to kill her'. The Hyperion arrives above the Herrscher, Himeko commenting on the normal appearance of the Herrscher, like a normal girl. She then orders the Hyperion's weapons to go all out on the Herrscher. The Herrscher sends out a blast of energy in retaliation, and although Himeko attempts to raise the shields, the blast gets through.

#### Schicksal Far East Branch Assembly Hall

* **CE**, 2014 - The Far East Branch of Schicksal meets to discuss the current situation. The attendees squabble over each other and Theresa Apocalypse says 'She's finally here... A new Herrscher has appeared after a 14-year hiatus... It appears the end of the world is coming.'

#### Nazagora

* The hit to the Hyperion reduced power generation by 40% and compromised external armor plating, forcing Himeko to take immediate action. She commands the crew to keep the Hyperion stable and bring them down to the Herrscher's altitude, so she can attack her head-on. She is then shown undressing. She then equips the Scarlet Fusion battlesuit, which is referred to as an exoskeleton for improving valkyrie combat capabilities, and faces the Herrscher. The Herrscher sends a beam of energy towards Himeko, but it is blocked by Himeko's blade and sent right back at her, presumably defeating the Herrscher in one hit.

### Post-Third Eruption

#### St. Freya High

* **CE**, May, 2014 - K-423, Bronya, and Mei enroll in St. Freya High, with Murata Himeko as their teacher.

#### Unknown

* **CE**, 2015 - Ana Schariac is promoted to an A-Rank Valkyrie at the age of 16 and becomes an adjutant of the Snow Lotus Squad.

#### Manila

* **CE**, 400 hours, May 22, 2015 - The Manila Honkai Eruption occurs, claiming the title of the worst Honkai outbreak in Southeast Asia. It did not birth a Herrscher, however, it did cause over 2 million casualties, over 3 million suffering from Honkai infection, and left 10 million in Manila and the surrounding areas homeless. Schicksal sends 42 squads (made up of 147 Valkyries total) including squads Snow Lotus, Sea Lion, and Astra to help. Most of the squad members die. This event is where Ana Schariac rescues Chen Tianwu, later known as Owl, from the rubble. Presumably, Tianwu had been living in Manila up to this point. Present day, the city is still uninhabitable due to high Honkai levels.

#### POST-NINTH ERUPTION

* August 2017 Kiana beats HoDom and awakens as HoFS
* October 17, 2017 (Current Story as of Chap 27)

## Notes

1. ↑  Secret of the God Keys gives many dates. However, without a baseline, they cannot be used. Therefore, Year X will be the baseline. Year X is about 17 years after the birth of Dr. Mei, Fu Hua, and Kevin.
2. ↑  The manga states that it is 1152 hours on February 2. However, this doesn't make sense, as it was already past noon when Theresa was mobilized by Schicksal. Even with regards to timezones, Siberia is ahead of Europe (where Schicksal HQ is floating), so the discrepancy cannot be rectified. As such, the author of this timeline has decided the date "Feb **2** was likely a typo, and it meant to say February 3.
