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

After changing clothes, the group once again ventured deep into Chi You's body.

This time, Shihen and the others did not encounter a single Honkai Beast on their journey, as if... Chi You was actively inviting them to come.

Stepping into a vast space resembling a castle hall, a petite figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

“Red Iris, after five thousand years, you have finally come here…”

A voice filled with resentment rang out, and the figure finally revealed its true form.

Chapter 193 [Ji Lin] and Chi Yuan

"Ji Lin!?"

Upon seeing the person's true face, Kiana couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"No, she is not Ji Lin!"

Fu Hua pushed up his red-rimmed glasses and said with a slightly somber expression.

Even if the other party has the same appearance as Ji Lin, the madness and tyranny that can be felt from a distance is something that Ji Lin would never possess!

“That’s right, I am indeed not her.” The girl nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Fu Hua as a wild smile curved her lips. “Even after five thousand years, you are still so perceptive, Chi Yuan!”

"who are you!?"

Unable to resist clenching her fist, Fu Hua felt as if a flame was burning within her chest.

Even though she had lost her memories of Ji Lin, a surge of anger still welled up in Fu Hua's heart when she saw the face he was wearing.

"Ji Lin is dead. I am nothing but the endless resentment she left behind." The girl revealed her identity without any concern, and her smile became even more crazed. "Five thousand years, a full five thousand years. Do you know how she survived all that time?!"

Inside the dark and sunless body of Chi You, she could only fight alone, without any rest, until the last drop of blood in her body finally flowed out, until... no one would remember her anymore!

And all of this is because of you, Chi Yuan!

It's all because of you!

"You're talking nonsense! The class monitor isn't that kind of person!"

Kiana immediately retorted.

But the girl merely glanced indifferently at the white fur ball and said, "What do you ants living in this era know about the Red Iris?"

If it weren't for everything Chi Yuan did, Chi You would never have been born in that era!

If Chi Yuan hadn't failed to arrive in time, Ji Lin wouldn't have needed to sacrifice himself to seal Chi You!

So it's all your fault, Chi Yuan!

In five thousand years of battle, Ji Lin has burned away everything, leaving only me, born from ashes and resentment.

Ji Lin has hated you for five thousand years, Chi Yuan!

With a loud shout, Ji Lin suddenly vanished, instantly covering nearly a hundred meters to appear in front of Fu Hua, conjuring a jet-black Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and slashing at Fu Hua with all his might.

In the blink of an eye, Fu Hua only had time to cross his hands and raise them.

clang--

The sword was the Xuanyuan Sword, formed from Ji Lin's hatred and Chi You's power, while the gauntlets were the Taixu Grip, formed from Ji Lin's blessing and Fu Hua's own qualities. When the two collided, it was like meteors colliding, and a terrifying shockwave instantly sent Shi Hen and the others flying.

boom!

Under immense pressure, Fu Hua's body suddenly shattered the ground and sank half a foot, and even the Tai Xu Grip on his hand developed cracks.

In terms of Honkai energy intensity alone, Chi You is not even inferior to a Herrscher.

If we ignore the powers and core, it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider Ji Lin at this moment as a Herrscher.

This is the source of Chi You's confidence in not interfering with Shi Hen and the others.

Even if Ji Lin were alone, her combat power would be enough to surpass that of countless Honkai Beasts.

However, the Key of Domination is clearly insufficient against attacks of this level.

"Chi Yuan, you are incredibly weak right now..." Holding her sword down with both hands, Ji Lin made no attempt to hide the disdain on her face. "Is this all the power a celestial being has left after five thousand years?"

hum-

With a soft whistle, except for the mech carrying Himeko which was left outside by the Time Mark, the remaining nine Titans raised their cannons and fired beams of golden light.

When Fu Hua and Ji Lin are at zero distance, only energy weapons can achieve precise strikes.

In an instant, dozens of beams of light, spanning a distance of more than ten meters, were easily blocked by an energy barrier that appeared around Ji Lin.

Faced with a battle of this scale, even the Godfather series Titans appear as fragile as toys, let alone these unmanned series.

The setup that Cocolia gave to An was originally intended for her to explore the Nine Netherworlds, not for the girl to fight against Judgment-level Honkai Beasts.

"After you disappeared, the class monitor single-handedly protected the land of China for five thousand years."

"You, born from the ashes of Ji Lin, what right do you have to look down on her!"

Shihen shouted loudly.

Whether or not there is damage is not important; the most important thing is to fight with momentum.

"Yes!"

The Book of Azure Mystery, which was almost knocked into the rock wall by the shockwave, also chimed in.

On the other side, taking advantage of the mecha's attack to briefly distract Ji Lin, Fu Hua also gently deflected the Xuanyuan Sword, and then advanced instead of retreating, launching a storm of attacks on Ji Lin.

The so-called "inch power" emphasizes exerting force within a small area to defeat the enemy in close proximity.

With punches, elbow strikes, and knee strikes, Fu Hua launched hundreds of attacks in an instant, taking advantage of the fact that her fists are much shorter and faster than a sword blade. Her limbs were completely blurred into afterimages.

Faced with such a swift and fierce attack, Ji Lin could only hold the Xuanyuan Sword in front of him to block part of the attack, but most of the fists had already landed on him.

bang bang bang-

Fists collided with flesh, producing a series of dull thuds that were almost indistinguishable to the human ear.

In terms of absolute lethality, Fu Hua's punches were not heavy.

If it were just one or two punches, Ji Lin wouldn't even bother to dodge.

However, what Ji Lin was facing now was a screen of fists formed by hundreds of fists, which forced the girl, whose physical strength was comparable to that of a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, to retreat repeatedly, and the ground along the way was shattered inch by inch due to the aftershocks of the attack.

The land formed after being devoured by Chi You and sinking is far weaker than a Judgment-class Honkai Beast in terms of strength.

"enough!"

After enduring nearly half a minute of attacks, [Ji Lin] suddenly roared, and the Honkai energy he had been secretly accumulating erupted like a volcano, forcibly forcing Fu Hua back with a single sword strike.

Panting, Ji Lin looked at Fu Hua with a ferocious smile on his face and said, "Chi Yuan, I can unleash countless attacks of that level, but how long can you withstand it?"

During the conversation, the girl's wounds and bruises disappeared quickly.

As the core of Chi You at this moment, [Ji Lin] can freely mobilize the enormous Honkai energy within Chi You's body, and its endurance is in no way inferior to that of a Herrscher.

In contrast, Fu Hua...

Even though she was almost unharmed in the battle, Fu Hua was already breathing heavily, and a faint trace of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

It can be said that since the Taixu Mountain incident five hundred years ago, this immortal who has protected the land of China for thousands of years has always been in a state of weakened health.

As long as Ji Lin holds up even slightly, Fu Hua can wear herself down.

"That's enough to get rid of you."

He spoke softly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Fu Hua took off his glasses and put them away, his blue eyes gleaming with a fiery red light.

Chapter 194 A Dance for All

"Don't forget about us!"

With a loud shout, Kiana activated the Burst Mode of her White Comet Armor and unleashed a flying kick, causing a large amount of Honkai energy to gather in the air and form a giant golden cat claw.

However, Ji Lin merely swung his sword with a sinister smile, and a crescent-shaped black sword aura burst forth, shattering the giant cat paw into dust, nearly cutting the white fur ball in half as well.

With such an absolute difference in strength, even a casual strike from Ji Lin was a deadly move that the girls could hardly withstand.

Suddenly, a golden blade of light flashed from the side, as Mei attacked with a katana.

Having realized the difference in strength between the two sides, she was unlike some white fluffy ball who would launch a sneak attack and then have to shout it out.

With a sweep of her longsword, Ji Lin easily shattered the blade's light, while the black Xuanyuan Sword continued its relentless attack on Mei.

clang!

As the swords clashed, cracks instantly appeared on the katana in Mei's hand.

Although it is merely a weapon formed from Honkai energy, the Black Xuanyuan Sword is no less powerful than the original Xuanyuan Sword due to the strong power it receives from Chi You.

"Ha! As someone also chosen by the Honkai, your weakness is utterly shameful to me!"

Looking at the face of the girl with long, straight black hair, [Ji Lin] couldn't help but sneer.

"What's the meaning!?"

Upon hearing this, Mei couldn't help but frown.

The one chosen by the Honkai... she's no longer a Herrscher.

"Whatever. Since you've chosen to associate with humans, then die!"

With a calm expression, Ji Lin pressed down on her sword, intending to press her advantage and kill Mei.

But suddenly, sensing a subtle threat, Ji Lin quickly sheathed his sword and retreated, instead kicking Mei in the abdomen, sending the girl flying.

Keng——

The black Xuanyuan Sword moved swiftly horizontally, its broad blade blocking a section of the dark blue sword tip that was thrusting towards it, but a thin layer of frost also spread out.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Ji Lin met a pair of cold, gray eyes.

When it comes to sneak attacks and assassinations, the Ural Silver Wolf is far more skilled than the young lady from a family of sword masters.

"Xuanyuan Sword, is this all you rely on?"

Ji Lin said with a cold laugh.

Despite the different appearance, she recognized the true nature of the dark blue short sword in the other party's hand at a glance.

"Fighting against the Honkai, that's what Ji Lin truly wants to convey."

Bronya answered expressionlessly, then drew her sword and retreated swiftly.

Even after just one encounter, she understood that an enemy like Ji Lin was not someone she could handle.

So just trust your companions.

Seeing the gray-haired loli retreat, [Ji Lin] was about to give chase, but dozens of missiles and golden beams of light coming from all around forced her to stop.

"Annoying guy!"

With a furious shout, Ji Lin unleashed a sword strike that completely shattered the missile and the golden beam of light, then raised the Xuanyuan Sword high above his head.

In an instant, hundreds of dark golden light spots appeared in the air and quickly grew larger, transforming into the shape of the black Xuanyuan Sword that was identical to the one in the girl's hand.

"Keep cover!"

Shihen shouted loudly, and then found that a light blue energy shield had appeared around him.

Turning his head, the boy was greeted by Xi'er's radiant smile.

With the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Heavy Bunny, Seele chose Bronya's Drive series armor from the original timeline.

According to St. Freya's naming rules, it should be called Drive Suit - Azure.

As a third-generation Valkyrie armor, Seele's armor is specifically designed for long-range support capabilities.

In other words, it can provide shields to teammates.

Before anyone could think, Ji Lin's attack had already landed.

Each of them was targeted by more than ten Xuanyuan Swords, and the Valkyries immediately used various methods to deal with it.

Fu Hua met the attack with her fist, Kiana activated her armor's burst mode again, Mei swung her katana, Bronya dodged and parried with her short sword, and Seele used her Heavy Bunny to protect herself and Anzu.
