I can move into the intermissions already. Could I possibly ask that Hohenheim give the sword at a later point, which would make sense if she has to pull a few strings to get it?

If not, I'm perfectly ok with that and I'll be willing to move on without it.

You can have the sword at the same time as you complete the challenge. Hoho can produce nearly any kind of object with a mere thought, getting an unbreakable sword blessed by the heavens is not a hard task at all for her.
