Void Archives

Tall (195 cm), European appearance (German), long blond hair, breaking into sharp strands, reminiscent of a hedgehog. Green eyes. White suit with black and gold elements. Wears a gold face mask, feeling a little disgusted by his face, that a exactly the same as of his previous owner, Otto Apocalypse.

He has a different shape, original form, a flying orange cube, but not fond of it and use very rarely, because it restrict his freedom.

Selfish, arrogant, self-confident, slippery, pretentious. Being an artificial intelligence, it does not understand human feelings the same way as a simple person. Handle endless knowledge of Previous Era of humanity. Not care about humanity, but deeply respect Welt Yang, as they share one goal: a world free of Honkai. He wants to destroy Honkai at any cost: only the result matters, not price of it. He hates Otto Apocalypse, because he imprisoned him for 500 years and forced him to do terrible things, as weapon. However, he achieved the goal of their deal: he received Otto's body after his death. Constantly makes stupid jokes.

As it was created with the Core of the Previous Era's Herrscher of Reason, it can recreate anything it understands. In doing so, it can mimic the other Divine Keys as well. These mimicries are much weaker, however. For reference, the mimicry of the Cleaver of Shamash wasn't even hot enough to melt its surroundings. Void Archives is also incapable of utilising the Zeroth Power of the Divine Keys they copy, and requires copious amounts of Honkai energy to use its powers.

It contains an archive of knowledge from the Previous Era, and uses anything at its disposal.

The Honkai is a mysterious life-threatening phenomenon that comes in the form of natural disasters, Honkai radiation, Honkai beasts, Herrschers, etc. We don't know its exact origins but we know that it's hellbent on annihilating the entire human race. We also know that the Honkai is a hivemind that answers to a supreme Honkai being known as the Will of Honkai or Honkai God.

Void Archives was the last Divine Key created by Vill-V in the Previous Era 50.000 years ago. She stated that Void Archives scared the MOTHs so much that they stopped her from completing the Divine Key of Corruption.

She informed Mei that it is only useful when controlled through a medium, and tried to use herself as its vessel, only to realise that she was creating an “inestimable enemy for humanity” due to its nature. She stated that harnessing endless knowledge is impossible on a rational basis, and if it succeeds, Vill-V will cease to exist.

The endeavour may thus produce an omniscient will, one that's unlikely to care about the survival of humanity. She was unable to terminate the process and had no choice but to call Dr. MEI for help, and Void Archives was thus sealed.

Some time before 1460 CE, a Schicksal sire brought back a mysterious golden cube from Asia. This cube was said to be only unlocked by the wisest.

When Otto Apocalypse wanted to bring back Kallen Kaslana’s dad to make her happy, he went to the room that housed the golden box and opened it. Void Archives made a deal with Otto to exchange his life for Kallen’s father's in a bid to use his body as a vessel once he died, but Kallen's anger at the prospect made Otto reconsider and Void Archives was imprisoned within Otto’s consciousness for over 500 years.

In A Post-Honkai Odyssey, Void Archives is the main antagonist. When Otto died, Void Archives escaped and took over one of Otto’s Soulium avatars. He claimed that all those centuries of time spent with Otto rubbed off on him, hence their similarities, but is enraged when Welt calls his similar behaviors an imitation of Otto’s, which leads to an explanation of how Void Archives was nothing more than Otto’s prisoner. We learn that Void Archives was originally one of the 17 fragments of Prometheus, a Previous Era AI, and the elimination of the Honkai is hard-coded into him, as if it were a genetic part of him, hence why he will do it even if it costs human lives.

Somehow, Void Archives got “captured” by the alien race of Sky People, but this was exactly what VA wanted. He’s been forced to create some sort of plan for them. The Sky Person guarding him is named Lucheni, and VA works hard to try and teach it English, but it hasn’t mastered it yet. VA sends a letter to the group in St. Fountain and invites the main cast to the castle in the sky. There, they all are ambushed by a massive mech called “The World”, who VA asked Lucheni to send down. Apparently this creature is Lucheni’s general. VA then leaves while the cast is fighting.

Meanwhile, Welt Yang and Joey are on a train back to the mainland. VA teleports to the train, and has a conversation with Welt, where he proposes his plan to destroy the Honkai. Welt, knowing his intentions aren’t entirely true, refuses. Joey, who was hiding, senses that his father is angry, and walks out and displays Herrscher of Reason powers, crashing the train. While Joey and Welt are unconscious from the crash, VA enters both of their subconscious. VA tries to intimidate Welt and blackmail him, but he fails. Then he tells Welt his plans, and says that he needs Welt to recreate the Star of Eden for his plans to work. Welt accepts, as long as he gets to see that Joyce is unharmed. In Joey’s subconscious, VA talks to Joey as if he is the original Joyce, and tells Joey that he needs gravity to control the Honkai on the moon. He then tells Joey of his deal with Welt, and that Joey will never see him again, and then leaves.

VA teleports with Welt to a space station, where VA explains that he has a beacon that the rest of the Sky People are following. He tells Welt that they have to go to the other side of the “gate” to stop the Sky People. On their way there, VA explains to Welt that the meteors they see are actually a form of transportation for scouts of the Sky People, and that all the creatures we see in St. Fountain are those scouts.

Later on, VA finds the Sky People’s plans to invade another world, hopelessly trying to deceive Welt into shrugging it off, but Welt sees a version of Himeko in the holograms displaying the Sky People’s plans and convinces VA to travel to that universe together to save it from the Sky People. Along the way, their spaceship breaks down and they drift in outer space, hoping for a miracle.
