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

While thinking, the Valkyrie turned on the communication frequency of the Destiny headquarters.

"Hello? Is this Miss Amber?"

This is Rita from the Undying Blade squad. We have encountered an unexpectedly powerful enemy who possesses power comparable to that of a Herrscher.

I hope headquarters can send a new Valkyrie squad to provide support.

Neither of them were indecisive, so the communication ended quickly.

Rita's gaze returned to the screen, and a slow smile crept onto her lips.

This is Destiny's home ground!

Chapter Seventeen: Bearing the Name of Walter, I Must Not Lose

The ruins of Raymond Castle.

The raven in the shadows of the building felt uneasy.

Are these two monsters?!

Watching the increasingly intense battle between the two through the scope of the Seven Thunders of Purification, Raven felt his worldview being challenged time and time again.

From now on, she felt that she would no longer be surprised by anything.

After all, what could be more terrifying than these two monsters, no matter how bizarre it may seem?

Clutching her sniper rifle tightly, Raven felt for the first time how weak and pitiful she was, that even the Divine Key couldn't give her much of a sense of security.

Faced with the two at full power, she felt that even if she unleashed the full power of the Seven Thunders of Purification, it would not pose much of a threat to them.

What's even more terrifying is that Shihen is only fifteen years old this year, and he has been exposed to the Honkai for less than a year!

Even Durandal, who was born under the Mandate of Heaven, seems to be only twelve years old.

At this age, it means that they have unlimited possibilities for the future.

Even the heroes of pre-civilization times probably couldn't compare to these two monsters.

The raven couldn't help but think to itself.

At this moment, Kiana, who was fighting the Honkai Beasts on the other side, couldn't help but stop and look in the direction where Shihen and Durandal were fighting.

Although she couldn't see what was happening in the distance, she could sense that something extremely terrible was taking place.

The terrifying energy fluctuations, like a nuclear explosion, gave her a near-suffocating feeling even from a great distance.

However, thinking about these things is useless, since it has little to do with her anyway.

Composing herself, the girl turned her gaze back to the Honkai Beast before her, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.

Unlike the scattered Honkai Beasts she had encountered before, this time she encountered a horde of dozens of Honkai Beasts!

Facing enemies that even the Valkyrie squad of Destiny must treat with utmost care, Kiana, an ordinary wandering girl, naturally could not easily eliminate them.

All she could do was try to attract the Honkai Beasts' attention and slow them down as they moved toward the city.

Moreover, the girl still harbored a faint hope.

If the damage is this severe, that man certainly wouldn't stand idly by, right?

Holding onto the hope that she might meet the other person, Kiana picked up her baseball bat again and charged towards the Honkai Beasts.

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

On the main battlefield.

boom!

After exchanging blows at close range, Shihen and Durandal suddenly separated and stopped in place, no longer continuing their attacks as before.

"You're probably nearing your limit too, aren't you?"

"Durandal asked, panting heavily, her face soaked with sweat.

Although the mask obscured her face, the girl could sense that Shihen's power was much weaker than before.

Clearly, maintaining this state is not an easy task for him either.

"At least longer than you."

Shihen grinned.

Compared to a world bubble, the burden on the body from fully activating the power of the Stigmata is indeed much smaller.

After all, the Stigmata was entirely his own ability, while the World Bubble was a foreign object to the girl.

Of course, their sizes are completely different as well.

In terms of increasing power, the Stigmata is much weaker than the World Bubble, which makes the Time Mark's injuries much more severe than Durandal's.

This girl, who looks as delicate and cute as a doll, is really ruthless.

With the balance shifting, the two are still roughly equal in terms of strength.

"Let's decide the winner with the next strike."

"Durandal said, the golden light in her eyes, which had been somewhat dim, now shone brightly again."

Even though this form of combat had only lasted for two minutes, she was already nearing her limit.

If this stalemate continues, her body will break down first.

"I think we can call it a tie."

Time Trace applied for a tie.

Durandal glanced at him silently at the suggestion, her aura suddenly surging.

The word "give up halfway" doesn't exist in her dictionary.

Faced with Shihen, a dangerous figure who recklessly causes chaos and disaster, she must do everything in her power to bring him to justice.

"It seems there's no point in talking." With a low chuckle, Shihen raised his head, the white light in his eye sockets calm yet radiant. "Young Valkyrie, are you ready... to face your death?"

Even with his body covered in wounds, and even though he can only use the power of his natural holy marks, Shihen is still invincible in the world!

Faced with Shihen's declaration, Durandal remained calm and slowly raised her right hand: "Bianca Durandal Atagina, I humbly request your guidance!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Valkyrie's white armor was coated with a layer of golden light, and a pure golden holy sword emerged from the girl's palm.

Swish!

The moment the holy sword took shape, an abyss-like energy suddenly erupted, and a terrifying pressure spread outwards like a tide, causing the girl's high ponytail to flare out, her golden hair swaying upwards like a flag.

"In the name of the second leader of Anti-Entropy and the third acting Herrscher, I, Welt White, accept your challenge!"

With the same solemn voice, he shouted, and a pure white baseball bat rapidly grew in Shihen's hand.

Since the opponent has used Honkai energy to condense a weapon, he naturally has to deal with it in the same way.

As for the issue that the Herrscher of Reason has only been passed down to the second generation... when he has time, he can go and talk to Old Yang about physics. I'm sure the other party will be very willing to let him be the third acting Herrscher.

The moment the baseball bat was formed, the two men moved simultaneously.

No, to be more precise, the two of them disappeared from the spot at the same time.

The two beams of light appeared and collided violently the next instant.

boom--

The holy sword and the baseball bat crossed and clashed together, and two energies, one gold and one white, suddenly erupted, like two dragons intertwining and tearing at each other, trying their best to completely crush each other.

Bearing the expectations of the Undying Blade Squad and carrying the hopes of millions in that world bubble, I must not fall here!

Feeling the terrifying power transmitted through the holy sword, and listening to the mournful cries of every cell in her body, the Valkyrie's resolve only grew stronger.

Presumably, the other party is also carrying the same heavy burden, right?

Their eyes met, and through Shihen's eyes, which shone with a dazzling white light, Yulandel seemed to hear the other's burning heart.

"Bearing the name of Walter, I must not lose!"

The other party said it outright.

Yulandel: "..."

Is this guy a drama queen?

What kind of time is this to still pretend to be Walter?

The girl suddenly felt as if a mouthful of old phlegm was stuck in her chest, and she had to spit it out.

But the next second, the two energies that had been locked in a stalemate reached a critical point, and the power that had been accumulated to the limit suddenly poured out and exploded, devouring and destroying everything around them.

Chapter Eighteen: The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight

After an explosion that resembled the birth of the universe, everything returned to calm.

A gust of wind carrying the scent of the sea blew by, stirring up clouds of dust and sand, creating a desolate atmosphere.

Just minutes before, this area, spanning several miles, was a lush and vibrant green.

Unfortunately, they encountered an unreasonable duo who were determined to destroy the house.

"Cough cough..." After wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Durandal finally managed a forced smile. "It seems I won."

Although her whole body ached to the point of almost losing all feeling, as if every cell was overwhelmed and wanted to go on strike, at least... she was still standing.

"Ah, yes." Lying not far from the Valkyrie, Shihen's voice was weak, no longer carrying that deliberate hoarseness. "To possess such Honkai energy. Durandal, I acknowledge you."

Of all the Valkyries I've fought, you are undoubtedly the strongest!

Although he only ever fought against one Valkyrie, Durandal.

However, to be fair, the girl is indeed very strong.

He couldn't contend with his opponent using only the power of the Holy Mark.

After all, the other party is a genuine genius, and he's even cheating.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"That's what Yulandel said sincerely."

For her, gaining the approval of a powerful opponent was the greatest reward.

"As expected, I can't do anything."

He spoke softly, his tone carrying a sense of despair as if he were about to give up on everything.

Yulandel: "..."

It's just a battle we lost, is it really that big of a deal?

Beneath the mask, Shihen blinked, but he couldn't sense any strange power surging within him.

Was the password wrong? Or does the Honkai Impact 3rd world not even have his account?

The boy fell into deep thought.

"Come back to Destiny with me, and I will plead for you before the bishop."

Durandal said, her voice weak but her tone earnest.

It is said that masters can know each other's thoughts with just a simple exchange of punches.

During the battle just now, she vaguely sensed the other party's thoughts and realized that Shihen was not a bad person.

"Sorry, that won't do," Shihen refused decisively. "I still want to bring you back to Anti-Entropy."

"...You're not one of Anti-Entropy at all, are you?"

Durandal was genuinely angry.

Can't this guy be a little more honest?

"I am the man who inherited the name of Welt." Shihen still did not forget his persona. "Bearing the name of Welt, I will never submit to fate."

"..."

Looking at Shihen's stubbornly white mask, Youlandail felt an inexplicable urge to smash it and see what kind of face lay beneath.

Unfortunately, she no longer has that power.
