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

"Don't worry, Headmistress, I'll keep a close eye on Kiana."

Shihen glanced at the white fur ball beside him and said helplessly.

Sure enough, having survived the trials of those top students at St. Freya and now possessing the White Ribbon Armor, this paramecium has become arrogant again.

The other party needs a little bit of a beating from the boss behind the scenes... no, I mean, a spur to action.

"Well, I'll leave Chi You's body to you. I'll do my best to have the Valkyrie troops delay Chi You's advance."

Theresa said in a solemn tone.

Soon, the communication ended, and Shihen and the others resumed their march towards the heart of Chiyou.

Although there were quite a few Honkai Beasts coming from all directions, the girls were all quite strong. Shihen also used the ten relatively intact mechs to demonstrate the battlefield command power that the former Anti-Entropy ace once possessed.

Even though these ordinary Titans were unable to complete complex commands, under the boy's unified command, they still demonstrated a strength far superior to that of AI control.

With Fu Hua having unsealed the Void Grip, the group arrived at Chi You's first heart with almost overwhelming force.

After eliminating the Honkai Beasts blocking their way, what appeared before everyone was a cluster of dark, opaque red crystals, each the size of a person, with a ball the size of an infant in the center. The intense Honkai energy emanating from it even surpassed that of the Hyperion's engine!

"Next, all you need to do is fry it to a pulp, right?"

With a smirk, Kiana raised her twin pistols, and the white armor on her body lit up with the golden patterns unique to the Burst System.

As the third-generation Valkyrie armor, White Comet is equipped with a burst system that allows the armor's Honkai energy reactor to operate at several times the power, greatly enhancing the Valkyrie's combat capabilities.

bang——

A sound similar to the roar of cannons rang out, and a beam of golden light the size of an adult's fist suddenly converged and surged from Kiana's twin guns. The powerful recoil caused the girl's body to tense up instantly.

If it were an ordinary person, or even a sniper who had undergone rigorous training, the recoil from such an attack would be enough to shatter their hand bones.

Despite withstanding the entire attack, the red crystal remained completely undamaged, without even a crack.

"No way, it's this hard?"

Kiana was stunned when she saw this.

This was her strongest attack, yet she couldn't even leave a mark on the opponent?

"Kiana, let me handle this."

As he spoke, Fu Hua lowered his stance and tucked his fists to his waist.

With the Void Grip in her hand, she was confident she could shatter the crystal.

Although the Key of Domination is indeed inferior compared to other Divine Keys, its power is still enough to surpass that of a typical warship's main cannon.

"Hmph! Even if you're an A-rank Valkyrie, class monitor..."

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Fu Hua's fist had already thrown out, and then...

boom!

With a single punch, countless cracks immediately appeared on the entire cluster of crystals.

The next second, the cracks spread and narrowed, and the giant crystal, as big as a person, turned into countless sparkling points of light and disappeared, as if a red snow had fallen.

Amidst the swirling red snowflakes, an exquisitely crafted puppet with long black hair, dressed in ancient Chinese attire, and with a black and white metal sphere shaped like a tai chi symbol suspended below it, appeared before the crowd.

"Doll?"

Mei couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

As if awakened by the girl's scream, the doll slowly opened its eyes, glanced at everyone, and then looked directly at Fu Hua.

"Red Kite, I've finally found you!"

Laughing, the doll pounced and wrapped its arms around Fu Hua's neck.

Fu Hua: "..."

She sensed a deep-seated malice.

"Little one, you've mistaken her for someone else. She's Fu Hua, not Chi Yuan!"

Kiana immediately corrected her.

"That's right, she is Fu Hua, a student of our St. Freya Academy, not some Chi Yuan!"

Shihen also chimed in agreement.

"Eh?"

Upon hearing their words, the doll couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

“This… Miss Doll.” Pulling the doll off her neck, Fu Hua looked at the other person and said in a serious tone, “I really am just Fu Hua, not the Chi Yuan you’re talking about.”

Although she didn't know why the other person recognized her, she now had to be firm in her identity as Fu Hua.

"You...don't recognize me?"

He spoke in an incredulous tone, a clear expression of sadness on the doll's face.

Seeing the sorrow on the doll's face, Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a pang of inexplicable pain in her heart.

Her intuition told her that the other person was probably a former friend of hers, just like Ji Lin.

But... she no longer had any memory of him.

So, faced with the doll's questioning, Fu Hua could only shake her head regretfully.

Once she realizes that she doesn't know her, this doll should give up pursuing the fact that she is Chi Yuan, just like Ji Lin.

Fu Hua thought to himself.

To Fu Hua's surprise, the puppet just stomped its foot helplessly, then smiled and said, "Really, you've even forgotten who you are. How many times have you used Feather Crossing Dust?"

Since that's the case, then listen carefully..."

As it spoke, the puppet placed its hands to its mouth in a megaphone shape, as if it were using all its strength to shout: "Your name is Chi Yuan, and you are an immortal who has protected the land of China for thousands of years!"

No matter who forgets you, or even if you yourself don't remember, I—the Book of Cangxuan—will always remember this and tell you it again and again!

If you forget once, I'll tell you once.

If you forget it ten thousand times, then I'll whisper it in your ear ten thousand times.

I will never forget you, Chi Yuan!

Chapter 191 Is Gray Snake a good person?

Hearing Cangxuan's undisguised words, Fu Hua was startled.

She believes she would have been moved if she had heard such words in any other setting.

But now... noticing the gradual change in the way Shihen and the others looked at her, Fu Hua was already thinking about whether she could use the Feather Dust to modify their memories.

"Class monitor, are you really the Crimson Kite Immortal?"

Shihen couldn't help but ask, his usually calm voice trembling, and his face showing obvious shock.

"She is the real deal, the one and only. She is the immortal who has protected the land of China from monsters for thousands of years!"

The Book of Azure Profound answered on behalf of Fu Hua, its small face filled with pride.

"Hmm...who is Chi Yuan?"

Kiana asked, quite inappropriately.

Although the name had appeared many times today, she still didn't really understand what it meant.

“The Crimson Iris Immortal is a legendary hero who has protected the land of China since ancient times, but…” As he spoke, Shihen glanced at Fu Hua and, seeing that she didn’t react much, continued, “It is said that she ascended to immortality five hundred years ago.”

"Ascension to immortality... what does that mean?"

Qi, a semi-literate woman named Yana, was bewildered again.

"It means...dead."

Mei hesitated and explained in a low voice.

"Huh? The class monitor is dead!?"

Kiana exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone: "..."

"What?! Chi Yuan, you've died once!?"

Even the Book of Cangxuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"..."

They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Having died once... can a person die twice?

Faced with the curious and surprised looks from the crowd, Fu Hua simply shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't remember any of what you're talking about."

This is the truth.

To this day, she only remembers her identity and mission, but as for the past... she has almost completely forgotten it.

Moreover, Yu Duchen cannot change the memories of so many people at once, so she must firmly maintain her identity as Fu Hua.

Only in this way can she fulfill her promise to Otto and obtain divine protection for China.

"Monitor..."

Seeing Fu Hua's composed expression, Kiana suddenly burst into tears.

In an instant, the white fluffy dumpling had already imagined millions of words of a tragic drama.

An ancient hero who protected the land encountered an incredibly powerful enemy and was ultimately forced to use a forbidden technique to perish together with his opponent. He survived by sheer luck but lost his memory. After wandering for five hundred years, he finally arrived at St. Freya and became an A-rank Valkyrie under the command of Destiny...

"We will remember you forever, just like that little one."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Kiana patted Fu Hua on the shoulder and said.

Looking at the white fluffy ball that was almost crying its eyes out, Fu Hua inexplicably had the illusion that she had died again.

She's still alive!

Shaking her head to dismiss the thought, Fu Hua nodded slightly and said, "Then thank you very much, Kiana."

"I have another question." Amidst the somber atmosphere, Shihen suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed on the doll floating in front of Fu Hua. "Miss Cangxuanzhishu, why are you so certain that the class monitor is Chiyuan?"

In legend, the Crimson Kite Immortal should have been a lively and elegant fairy.

Yes, that's right. According to the published documents, the Crimson Kite Fairy is a lively and lovely fairy, not some rigid and flat-chested girl.

“Beautify it, beautify it. When you are written into history in the future, you will definitely hope that you can be praised a few more times, right?” The Book of Cangxuan answered without hesitation. “Moreover, I have been with Chiyuan for more than three thousand years since the day my masters—Cangxuan and Danzhu—created me.”

Therefore, even if I were to admit my mistake, I would never forget Chi Yuan!

"More than three thousand years..."

Upon hearing this, Seele couldn't help but cover her mouth and gasp in surprise, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Fu Hua.

She had been listening to Shihen and the others talk about ancient heroes, but she didn't really have much of a concept of what the so-called ancient times were.

It wasn't until the phrase "three thousand years" was uttered that the girl realized just how many years had passed for the girl who looked about her age.

“Counting from the time of Ji Lin, it should be five thousand years.”

Bronya added expressionlessly.

Xing, standing to the side, was completely lost in thought.

She couldn't understand what these people were talking about at all. How could any human live for thousands of years?!

"I see……"

Upon hearing this, Kiana suddenly realized what was going on.

But then, as if suddenly remembering something, the white-fuzzy ball of fur looked at the boy with growing wariness: "Why do you know about the class monitor's past, Hen!?"

She had only heard of the name Chi Yuan today.

In an instant, Mei's gaze was fixed on them, and the three little ones also looked at each other with a hint of curiosity.

"Oh wow, this must be the legendary battleground!"
