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

However... she didn't understand why a stone wall could have the ability to teleport.

"What should we do about my period?!"

Seeing that Theresa hadn't answered for a long time, Kiana couldn't help but urge her on.

Since arriving in St. Freya, she has not encountered much danger.

Now that the incident happened so suddenly, and that Shihen was involved, the girl's heart immediately panicked.

"Kiana, Major Himeko is an experienced A-rank Valkyrie, and Hen is always calm. They will definitely be fine."

Mei offered words of comfort.

Although she was also worried, Kiana's mind was in turmoil, so she had to remain calm.

Only in this way can they maintain the power to rescue Shihen and Himeko.

"That's right, Kiana, only by remaining calm and composed can we overcome all difficulties."

Another unusually calm voice came through the communication channel.

"Monitor?"

Mei called out in confusion.

Without a doubt, it was Fu Hua who stepped forward at this moment.

"How can you expect me to stay calm at a time like this?!"

Upon hearing Fu Hua's words, Kiana retorted irritably.

How could she remain calm when someone she cares about is in danger and their life hangs in the balance?

With a helpless sigh, Fu Hua said, "Kiana, if I'm not mistaken, the place you're in should be a formation called Bagua."

Major Himeko and Tokihime were probably teleported to another location by this formation.

"The Eight Trigrams? Isn't that a philosophical concept from China?"

Mei asked, puzzled.

"I know this. The Eight Trigrams is a technology that Cang Xuan developed by observing the flow of Honkai energy between heaven and earth. It can use the Honkai energy in nature to do all sorts of incredible things."

Theresa immediately began to answer, as eagerly as a student answering a question in class.

Honkai is a disaster that accompanies it, but Honkai energy is everywhere in the world, only its concentration is generally very low.

"Yes, in principle, that's how the Eight Trigrams work."

Fu Hua echoed.

Although she had almost completely forgotten the people and events, this knowledge still remained in her mind, because it was from her and...

Thinking of this, Fu Hua's eyes dimmed.

She had forgotten who the person she had studied these things with was.

"what?"

Kiana was immediately dumbfounded.

She felt like she was listening to gibberish again.

"In short, get moving quickly, and I will find the right path for you in the Hyperion."

Fu Hua concluded.

She couldn't see Kiana and the others, and Hyperion didn't have a detailed map of the Nine Netherworlds, so she had to judge the enemy's formation and location based on Kiana and the others' performance.

"we know."

Mei nodded upon hearing Fu Hua's words.

"So, all we need to do is keep charging forward, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana's face regained its radiance.

“Kiana…” Hearing the white-furred ball’s almost reckless remarks, Theresa couldn’t help but sigh, “You should use your brain a little more!”

Cecilia wasn't like this at all, so why did this child suddenly change?

Indeed, it was all Siegfried's fault!

"Hehe~"

Kiana simply grinned, trying to bluff her way out of it.

She's never been good at these things anyway.

"Headmistress, Kiana and I will be careful."

Mei added as appropriate.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you. Go ahead and find Himeko and Shihen." Theresa said sincerely, "I'll also send Fu Hua and the others to support us."

At this point, it was already an unexpected situation.

With two members of Himeko's squad gone, Kiana and Mei alone are no longer able to face the danger.

If we consider the worst-case scenario, even if we find Himeko and Toki in time, the two of them may not have much fighting power left.

It's time for the support team to be deployed.

Theresa's gaze swept over Fu Hua and the other two, who were already fully prepared and ready to go, before her eyes settled slightly.

Sending out another A-rank Valkyrie should solve all the problems, right?

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

On the other side, deep within the Netherworld.

Shihen was desperately dodging Himeko's attacks.

Just as he had anticipated, Chi You had gained partial control of the Nine Netherworlds by corrupting Ji Lin's consciousness.

Chi You is only one thing away from completely breaking the seal: someone needs to help him pull out the Xuanyuan Sword.

As for Himeko... since her body was already severely corrupted by Honkai energy, and she had been in a place like the Nine Netherworld with such a high concentration of Honkai energy for so long, she naturally became Chi You's puppet.

Wielding the Sunfire Greatsword, Himeko continuously slashed at the boy, unleashing crescent-shaped sword energy after crescent-shaped strike, with massive amounts of Honkai energy being recklessly unleashed as if it were free.

Under Chi You's manipulation, Himeko became the queen of this Netherworld Land, and all the Honkai energy here could be used by her, so she naturally didn't have to worry about consumption.

This is really tricky...

With a powerful sniper rifle slung over his back, Shihen dodged the sword energy while simultaneously drawing his hand cannon from his waist to retaliate against Himeko.

As the trigger was pulled, a fireball the size of a pigeon's egg shot out from the muzzle, transforming into a streak of dark red light that flew towards the red-haired Valkyrie.

Himeko lightly raised her greatsword to block the fireball. Her movements paused only slightly before she once again revealed a ferocious smile and charged towards the boy, slashing out golden sword energy along the way to compress the space for dodging.

While under Chi You's control, Himeko no longer possessed the fighting skills she had as a Valkyrie, but her strength and speed suddenly increased by several levels.

Just two shots later, Shihen was less than five meters away from him.

In a flash, Shihen hurriedly handed the hand cannon to his left hand, while his right hand gripped the sniper rifle that was gradually slipping down due to the unfastened strap.

The gun was raised and aimed at the red-haired Valkyrie, but before Shihen could pull the trigger, a golden greatsword slashed down first.

Like a hot knife through butter, the sniper rifle made of high-strength alloy did not hinder the greatsword in the slightest.

But in that instant, Shihen had already taken half a step forward and delivered an extremely fast spinning kick to the Valkyrie's sword-wielding wrist.

boom!

The sole of the shoe collided with the wrist with a dull thud, leaving Himeko wide open to a black and red hand cannon covered with a faint white light.

Usurper Hand Cannon - Concussion Mode, fire!

As the trigger was pulled, terrifying energy spread out in the form of a shockwave, instantly enveloping the Valkyrie's entire body.

Her delicate body swayed, and the ferocious expression on Himeko's face momentarily froze.

Without the slightest hesitation, using the Valkyrie's wrist as a fulcrum, Shihen leaped into the air and kicked Himeko in the chest, sending her flying several meters away to crash into a boulder, ending the battle.

"The Destiny's pistol has always been a close-combat weapon."

After tossing aside the broken sniper rifle, Shihen spoke leisurely.

Even though her strength and speed were enhanced, Himeko became easier to defeat after losing her honed combat skills.

He simply concealed the true mode of the hand cannon, and thus gained a chance to turn the tide.

If it were the real Himeko, she would never be so oblivious.

Skills and experience are the ultimate weapons that enable humans to overcome the strong with the weak.

only……

Pressing the Bluetooth earphone next to his ear and listening to the full of static, Shihen could only sigh helplessly and accept the fact that he was temporarily out of contact.

Chi You has already infiltrated a considerable amount of the sealing power, enough to interfere with the Nine Netherworlds' external communications.

If things continue like this, it probably won't be long before the other side is completely free.

However, Ji Lin and Cang Xuan are quite remarkable for being able to seal Chi You for nearly five thousand years with just a Key of Control.

Looking at the golden ancient sword that was only a few dozen meters away from him, its surface still wreathed in runes, Shi Hen couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion, and then...

With a gentle wave of his hand, the young man conjured up golden light spots, and the ancient golden swords floating in the air instantly multiplied from one to twenty-eight, forming a formation of the Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Constellations.

How can there only be one Xuanyuan Sword?

Let's wait here for Kiana and the others.

He walked to the side and helped the fallen Himeko up, then sat quietly and waited.

Chapter 186 The Immortal's Secret Revealed

After resting for a full half hour, Shihen finally saw Kiana and the others arrive late, along with a proud little brat with purple-pink hair and a bunch of Titan mechs.

"Hen! I've finally found you!"

Upon seeing the boy, Kiana's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she gave him a bear hug.

In an instant, Shihen seemed to hear a crisp cracking sound.

That was the sound of ribs bearing the weight.

Although the white fluffy ball has a great figure, its absolute strength is enough to cover everything else.

Kiana, you're still on a mission!

Noticing the change in the boy's expression, Mei quickly pulled the white fluffy ball away.

"Oh..." Kiana paused, letting go and stepping back. Her gaze shifted, and she noticed the red-haired woman lying to the side. The tears she had just stopped flowing again. "Aunt Himeko, she..."

She had already noticed the wreckage of the sniper rifle that the boy had left lying to the side.

Clearly, a fierce battle took place here.

Even Shihen, a ranged attacker, has to face danger, so Himeko is probably...

"Major Himeko was controlled by Honkai and tried to attack me, but I subdued her."

While rubbing his aching chest, Shihen glanced resentfully at the white fur ball and explained.

"what?"

Kiana's tears welled up and stopped.

Ignoring the emotional white fluffy ball, Shihen looked at the proud purple-pink-haired girl and smiled, saying, "Xing, long time no see, you've grown quite a bit taller."

Compared to Bronya, who remained completely unchanged, Xing had grown several centimeters taller, conservatively estimated to be over 1.5 meters.

Indeed, the X-10 experiment did affect development.

"Hmph! I just encountered these two while exploring the Nine Netherworlds, so I brought them along as well."

With her little face raised, Xing spoke with a tone full of disdain.

"Huh? Weren't you the one who kept getting lost and wandering around, and we only took you out because we found you?"

Kiana immediately exposed her.
