Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"Walter, I will make you pay!"

She roared angrily, and Mei slightly opened her palm. Endless lightning surged out and condensed into a nearly solid blue-white katana.

The moment the katana appeared, the girl's Chiba Academy uniform vanished, replaced by a light purple suit of armor.

A special construct condensed from Honkai energy—this is the most suitable armor for a Herrscher, allowing them to unleash their near-infinite destructive power to the fullest extent.

Unlike the playful fight with Arahato and Kiana earlier, this is the true fighting stance of a Herrscher.

If someone were still able to test the fusion rate between Mei and the Gem of Conquest at this point, they would find that the value has reached over 80%, and is increasingly moving towards 100% complete Herrscher.

Fueled by intense hatred, Mei's will had already overwhelmed her awareness of the Stigmata.

After the girl chose to actively embrace the Honkai, the power to conquer the gems was gradually and completely unleashed, without any reservations.

"That's more like it." Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the girl, Shihen nodded slightly. "In that case, I'll get a little more serious too."

As he spoke, a silver-white baseball bat rapidly materialized in Shihen's hand.

Although it didn't matter to him whether he used a weapon or not, it at least showed more respect for his opponent.

After all, he's a Herrscher; let's give him some face.

"This time, you will die here!"

With a declaration, Mei unleashed a slash that crackled with countless bolts of lightning, instantly creating numerous cracks on the white flower barrier.

"You've only gained a little power and you're already spouting nonsense. Let me help you wake up."

With a single swing of his staff, he shattered the barrier, and the momentum of his attack continued as he slammed towards the black-haired girl.

Mei raised her sword to parry, the blade colliding with the baseball bat with a deafening roar, and the terrifying force transmitted along the blade made the girl secretly surprised.

Before engaging in combat with him, she had little knowledge of Walter's power.

After all, she can now easily slice through a skyscraper, so the power her opponent displayed that night is of no reference value whatsoever.

But at this moment, as she felt the condensed and surging Honkai energy through the weapon, she truly realized the opponent's power.

This Welt's strength is terrifying; it's in no way inferior to her, the Herrscher!

Even so, she will definitely kill him here.

No matter what the cost!

"Die, Walter!"

With a loud shout, Mei gripped her katana and slashed at the masked man in front of her with all her might.

"You'd better prove yourself worthy of dying by my hand first, Raiden Mei."

His hoarse voice was full of laughter as Shihen, carrying a baseball bat, went straight to meet him.

In an instant, thunder roared, thick dark clouds covered the sky again, and torrential rain finally fell on the valley.

On the ground, looking up at the battle in the sky, watching the dazzling lightning and silver light intertwine and collide from time to time, the three little ones' hearts were filled with shock.

"Is this the true power of a Herrscher...?"

Feeling that immense power that seemed to make even the heavens and earth tremble, Seele's expression turned bitter.

If Mei were to unleash this power in their battle, they probably wouldn't last even a second before turning to ashes.

"What the hell are those two monsters doing?!"

She couldn't help but curse, her face filled with disbelief.

Before witnessing this battle firsthand, she had never imagined that an individual's power could reach such a level.

Even a mech army would probably be no match for a monster of this caliber.

"..."

Bronya pursed her lips and watched the fierce battle in the sky without saying a word.

One day, she will become that strong too.

Even the Ural Silver Wolf, who had never been obsessed with power, couldn't help but feel a desire to become stronger after witnessing this battle, which could be considered to be at the pinnacle of the world.

But despite their different feelings, the three girls quickly stopped thinking about these things.

After losing the will of Raiden Mei, the Honkai Beasts in the valley quickly sprang into action, each seeking out the nearest prey.

Under the torrential rain, a battle belonging to the girls is about to begin.

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a tense atmosphere gradually spread in a silver-white floating warship a hundred miles away from the battlefield of the Third Collapse.

"Reporting to Major Himeko, the Hyperion detected two strong Honkai energy reactions three minutes ago, both exceeding 3500 HW."

In the bridge room, the adjutant of the fifth squad, dressed in military uniform, reported in a deep voice.

Without a doubt, the floating warship still stationed here at this time is the Hyperion of the Far East Branch.

In fact, long before Anti-Entropy was fully mobilized and the war had fully begun, Hyperion had already sneaked in and stayed for more than a day and a night.

It's fortunate that Anti-Entropy is engaged in fierce fighting and doesn't have much spare strength, otherwise the Hyperion would have been discovered and driven out long ago.

"Two?"

Biting her nails, the red-haired woman known as Himeko showed surprise on her face.

“Yes, one of them has a 93% similarity to the Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader in the records, which can be preliminarily confirmed as Welt White.” The adjutant explained, his expression gradually becoming serious. “The other Honkai energy reaction is usually accompanied by strong electromagnetic interference, which is consistent with the nature of the Herrscher of Thunder in the data.”

"The Third Herrscher and the leader of Anti-Entropy? What on earth are those Anti-Entropy guys up to?"

Upon hearing this, Himeko couldn't help but facepalm.

When she detected the disappearance of the Herrscher of Thunder's signal a few minutes ago, she thought that Anti-Entropy had resolved the Third Honkai Impact and that she could go home to sleep and drink.

Before she could issue the return order, the Herrscher of Thunder's signal reappeared, and its intensity far surpassed any previous detection. It even included the presence of an Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader.

"Forget it, let's just keep waiting. With this Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader here, it shouldn't be our turn to take the stage."

With a wave of her hand, Himeko decided to give up thinking about it.

In any case, the other party is still the leader of the Anti-Entropy organization. Surely he wouldn't betray humanity and deliberately release the Herrscher of Thunder, would he?

Chapter 150 Mei Sees Darkness Again

Rumbling--

bang——

After roaring for nearly ten minutes, the thunder in the sky finally ended with a huge thud that seemed to shatter the heavens and earth. Then, a slightly dim blue-white bolt of lightning pierced through the dark clouds and fell to the earth like a meteor.

boom!

The meteor crashed to the ground, easily creating a crater tens of meters in size in the valley, and several Honkai Beasts were also thrown away by the impact.

A dark cloud dispersed, and the sunlight that streamed down formed a golden beam, standing out starkly against the backdrop of the downpour.

But even more dazzling than this golden pillar of light was a white-haired figure slowly descending.

"A dignified Herrscher of Thunder, yet she only possesses such meager power? How...how boring."

Looking down at the disheveled black-haired girl in the pit, whose purple armor was torn into pieces, Shihen spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if defeating a Herrscher was just a simple game for him.

"Walter!"

Roaring angrily, Mei gripped the dim blue-white katana tightly in her hand, and with a flash of light, she slashed forward with several blades.

But Shihen didn't even retaliate. He simply dodged the girl's desperate counterattack with a few sideways movements, and instead of retreating, he advanced, closing the distance between himself and Mei.

"If this is all you've got, then die, Raiden Mei."

As he spoke, Shihen slowly raised the silver-white baseball bat in his hand, and a dazzling light, like moonlight, quickly flowed out and covered the bat.

Looking at the baseball bat that shimmered with light, Mei's madness subsided slightly, replaced by a hint of fear. She couldn't help but back away, desperately slashing with her katana, unleashing increasingly feeble blades of light.

Even a Herrscher cannot help but feel fear when faced with the threat of death.

Mei is not a Herrscher in her full form; almost all of her power comes from the Conqueror Gem within her body.

Once a girl's will wavers, the power she can use will naturally decline.

As expected, this level of willpower is still insufficient to create a fully-fledged Herrscher of Thunder.

Seeing Mei's performance, Shihen couldn't help but sigh.

Even in the battle just now, the girl was completely driven by the power to conquer the gem.

If it weren't for the sheer strength of the Time Mark itself, and the fact that Mei still retained a sliver of light in her heart, she would have already succumbed to the Honkai like Sirin.

Although all of this was brought about by the boy himself.

But judging from this, the impact of Honkai on the Herrschers of this era is actually quite weak; it seems to only amplify the other party's emotions.

Even Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void who caused the greatest casualties of this era, might not be immune to the possibility of turning her against us.

The humanistic essence that Alicia left for the Herrschers of this era has had a rather powerful effect.

Yes, at least that's how it was before the Fifth Herrscher arrived.

In this way, the task of verifying the results on the Herrscher of Thunder has been basically completed.

Looking at the terrified girl in front of him, Shihen nodded inwardly.

However, since there is still enough time, we can do some other things.

As he was thinking, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

boom!

With a raised left hand, Shihen caught the massive iron fist coming straight at him, then looked at the giant mecha that had braved the rain to arrive.

In the pouring rain, a huge robot painted in gray and black stood on the ground.

Despite his body being damaged in many places and various coolants constantly leaking out with the rain, Alahato still stood up stubbornly, wanting to protect the promise the boy had made.

"Kid, get out of my way."

With a forceful push from his left hand, Shi Hen forced the giant mecha to stagger backward. He spoke calmly, his silver eyes filled with cold indifference.

"No! Don't hurt Mei!"

Perhaps because the mech was severely damaged, the voice coming from inside sounded much more strained, as if the pilot inside was enduring some kind of immense pain.

"I told you, don't get in my way."

Looking at the giant robot struggling to attack, Shihen repeated softly, raising his baseball bat and smashing it forward.

In an instant, a forty-meter-long baseball bat appeared in the air and smashed Alahato to the ground with a single blow.

"mark!"

With a loud shout, Mei's eyes regained some light, and her body transformed into lightning once more as she charged towards the white-haired man in the air.

"A boring struggle."

With a slight shake of his head, Shihen casually slammed Mei back into the pit with a stick.

This was just a fleeting moment of lucidity for the young girl.

"Stop it, you imposter!"

An angry voice came from inside the mech, and Alahato struggled to his feet, with light white lines spreading outwards from the cockpit on his chest.

Unlike the red lines of a dangerous system, these light white lines appear gentle and calm, like a newly lit flame.

To get the nearly scrapped Alahato running again, the driver's personal will alone is far from enough.

You need to cheat.

Physical laws cannot be understood through idealism, but Honkai energy can.

Moreover, isn't it perfectly reasonable for the boy who inherited Welt's great spirit to awaken new powers during the Third Honkai in order to protect his companions?

If losing one ace pilot wasn't painful enough for Einstein and her team, then let's add another Stigmata Awakener.

Shihen needed to make these people understand just how dazzling a star they had missed.

"Being able to move a piece of scrap metal, it seems you have some strength, kid. Too bad you're still too green."
