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

As for Yae Sakura... the shrine maiden still has her own holy marks, enough to interfere with the Honkai energy detector and prevent it from being detected.

"I've already seen it."

Durandal's gaze fell on the third Star of Eden in the white-haired man's hand, and her expression became serious.

No matter what power he uses, this [Walter White] is still incredibly powerful.

Thinking this, Durandal felt her whole body getting hot and excited.

Only opponents of this caliber are worth her all-out effort!

"Mimicry: Star of Eden, Star Chaos!"

With a soft shout, Shihen tossed out the third Star of Eden in his hand.

In an instant, along with the two previous Eden Stars, all three Eden Stars shone brightly. The originally deep blue spheres instantly turned red and dark, like three black suns suddenly bursting into the night sky.

The next second, Durandal and Yae Sakura simultaneously felt a powerful gravitational force fall on them, and the two were immediately pulled apart.

"Just this level..."

With a slight smile, just as she was about to adjust the thruster output to resist the gravity, Durandal felt the direction and magnitude of the force suddenly change.

Caught off guard, the girl was simultaneously propelled by the Moon Armor and pulled by the gravity of the Star of Eden, causing her to lose her balance and tumble uncontrollably through the air.

In the midst of the chaos, Durandal struggled to move her gaze, only to see three dark red stars that seemed to be moving irregularly, sometimes near and sometimes far.

As the three Stars of Eden move, the gravitational pull exerted on the girls also changes.

Chaotic, disordered, yet incredibly powerful—that was the only thing Durandal could sense.

If the gravity from the Star of Eden doesn't change frequently, then even if that force were twice as strong, the girl could easily resist it.

But now... she can barely control her body, let alone launch a counterattack.

Because whenever the Valkyrie tries to resist, the sudden change in gravity disrupts her balance, making it impossible for her to exert any force.

Pulled back by the Star of Eden, Durandal could feel the damage to her body steadily accumulating.

Although the rate of damage accumulation is not as fast as in a direct battle, if she cannot find a way to deal with it, her stamina will eventually be worn down by these three Eden Stars.

As the girl pondered, she heard the man's hoarse voice calling out:

"Suppose there are three interacting stars in the universe, how can planets living in that star system survive?"

Durandal, Xayah, let me see your answer!

Unaffected by Walter White's words, Durandal looked at the pink-haired woman who was wandering and tumbling like herself.

"Miss Sakura, prepare to counterattack in thirty seconds."

Seizing the moment when the two were close together, Durandal shouted loudly.

Yae Sakura: "Yūlandai..."

What she really wanted to say was that she didn't know how long thirty seconds was.

The majority of a person's life existed five hundred years ago, and the priestess was not accustomed to the modern method of timekeeping.

But they only managed to utter a few words before the distance between them widened again.

Under the influence of the three Eden Stars, the two are like satellites belonging to different systems in the universe, with no idea when they will meet again.

Feeling helpless, Yae Sakura could only silently make preparations.

As a Herrscher, she can roam the world solely on her own power, giving her a greater advantage over Durandal, who relies on armor, in dealing with the gravity of Eden's Star.

Ignoring Yae Sakura's embarrassment, Durandal quietly began communicating with her own cosmos... no, I mean, the world bubble within her body.

To break free from the shackles of the stars, we must rely on world-class power.

"Star Armor, Casting!"

With a low shout, countless golden lights burst forth from Durandal's body, and immense power was released onto the girl's body, forming a set of brilliant golden armor, even causing the operation of the Star of Eden to stagnate.

Although this armor, formed from the power of the world bubble, has no physical mass and is so light as to be almost weightless.

But when it truly appeared, it was as if a new world had emerged in the night sky, and the light of the three dark red stars was momentarily stolen.

"It's now!"

With a loud shout, Durandal immediately threw out the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, and then raised one leg high, conjuring a golden longbow in front of her.

With her right foot raised high, the girl stepped onto the bow arm, pulled the bowstring taut with both hands, and a golden arrow shaped like a lance instantly condensed and shot out.

In an instant, the white lance and the golden arrow pierced through the two Stars of Eden.

On the other side, Yae Sakura also grasped the Seven Thunders of Purification in her hand, and her figure transformed into lightning to destroy the last star.

boom--

In the night sky, three stars suddenly exploded, illuminating the entire world as if it were daytime.

"If you have any other moves, feel free to use them!"

Grasping the Black Abyss White Flower that had flown back through the air, Durandal looked at the white-haired man and whispered a command, letting out a slight pant.

Even though the girl has grown a lot since she first obtained this power, it is still not stable enough.

"You've really changed a lot compared to two years ago, Durandal~"

Upon seeing the star armor again, Shihen's tone was filled with emotion.

Two years have passed, and Durandal has transformed from a cute girl into a tall and mature woman. Naturally, the power of her Star Armor is also vastly different from what it was back then.

Because in essence, the power of Star Armor actually originates from the Sea of ​​Quanta, and the World Bubble is merely a medium.

The stronger Durandal is, the more power she can draw from the Sea of ​​Quanta.

"You've changed a lot too, Bai."

Yulandel's expression was solemn.

"When you say things like that, give me a bigger smile."

Shihen couldn't help but complain.

Everyone was catching up, but this silly goose was completely oblivious to the situation, his expression so serious it was as if they were fighting to the death.

Although it seems that this is indeed the case.

"You're still as glib as ever."

With a cold expression, Durandal charged toward the white-haired man.

Star Armor's power is unstable, so she doesn't have time to chat with him.

"In the realm of destiny, hasn't anyone said you're a bit too old-fashioned?" Shihen asked with a smile, waving his hand and conjuring countless golden ancient swords around him. "Mimicry: Key of Domination, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of Xuanyuan swords swirled and coalesced into a long golden dragon, roaring as it rushed towards Durandal.

Faced with the golden ancient sword that instantly filled her entire field of vision, Durandal's expression hardened slightly, but there was no fear in her eyes.

"Black Abyss White Flower, fight alongside me!"

With a soft shout from the girl, a large amount of black mist immediately emerged from the white lance, swirling and forming a huge cone.

The next second, countless white dust particles emerged from the black fog, and the two combined to form a colorful, pitch-black color.

Durandal charged forward, wielding her lance, the cone-shaped black mist piercing straight into the golden dragon with unstoppable force.

Compared to divine keys like the Black Abyss White Flower, the Xuanyuan Sword is far too fragile.

Even though Shihen had increased the number of Xuanyuan Swords to two thousand, it was still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the combination of Durandal and Black Abyss White Flower.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Xuanyuan swords were crushed into countless points of light by the cone-shaped black mist, and the remaining ones were also being consumed rapidly.

On the other hand, Durandal's momentum did not weaken at all; instead, it became even more ferocious, as if she wanted to pierce through [Walter White] as well.

"So, what's wrong with that?"

Looking at the black streak that surged upwards from the golden dragon, Shihen murmured, his eyes suddenly flashing with white light.

Like a toppling domino, starting with the Xuanyuan Sword at the very front, one after another the Xuanyuan Swords shed their gold and turned into a cool, silvery-white color like moonlight.

In an instant, the golden sword dragon turned silver, and its strength suddenly increased by several levels.

As a mass-produced Divine Key, the Xuanyuan Sword is indeed fragile, and even an Emperor-level Honkai Beast can easily destroy it.

But... if it could sense and transform with a fusion warrior, the originally fragile Xuanyuan Sword would become a divine weapon that even the Herrschers could not ignore.

Just like a pawn in chess, once it reaches the end of the board, it can be promoted to the most powerful queen.

Even though Shihen's body does not contain Honkai Beast factors, changing the form of the Xuanyuan Sword is not a problem for him at all.

By the standards set by Fu Hua, he is now a person who has mastered the sword intent.

Sensing the terrifying power emanating from the silver dragon, Durandal's expression became somewhat solemn.

While the sheer number of Keys of Domination may not be of much significance, there is a difference between the willpower required to control the transformation of a single Xuanyuan Sword and the willpower required to control the transformation of over a thousand Xuanyuan Swords simultaneously.

Facing over a thousand silver Xuanyuan swords, the girl truly felt the unwavering conviction of the man hidden behind the silver dragon.

Even so, Durandal had no intention of running away.

As the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, her will has never been weak.

"Black Abyss White Flowers, crush them with me!"

With a loud shout, Durandal launched another charge, the light emanating from her lance growing ever more dazzling.

The black mist pierced into the long dragon, tearing apart every Xuanyuan Sword that stood in its way with overwhelming force.

During this process, the girl's aura gradually became more intense, like a sword that had been honed by a stubborn rock until it became even sharper.

No matter how much it evolves, the Key of Domination is still fundamentally different from other Divine Keys.

only……

This could be considered cheating, right?

Watching the blonde girl, who showed no signs of weakness amidst the long dragon of sword energy but instead grew stronger with each battle, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly beneath the Time Mark mask.

No wonder he has the protagonist's aura!

With a sigh in his heart, Shihen's fingertips twitched slightly, and several golden ancient swords mixed in with the silver dragon and wrapped around the young lady's back extended and transformed into chains.

"Miss Durandal, watch your back!"

A loud shout rang out.

"what?"

Durandal's expression changed, but several golden chains had already touched the girl's ankles and were rapidly coiling upwards.

In an instant, Durandal felt the flow of Honkai energy within her body suddenly stop.

Only then did a soft, explanatory shout slowly ring out: "Mimicry - The Oath of Judah!"

The source of power for those who govern reason is knowledge.

Durandal, just how many Divine Keys do you think I can mimic?

With no time to answer Walter White's question, Durandal was already deeply experiencing the difficulty of the Key of Binding.

Although the chains could not completely seal the Honkai energy within the girl's body due to power limitations, the Valkyrie's power was still affected.

Countless silver swords fell, and the black mist formed by the Black Abyss White Flower broke for the first time, then collapsed and annihilated, leaving several bloody marks on Durandal's body.

Just as she was about to gather her strength to break through the blockade, Durandal caught a glimpse of a sudden flash of lightning out of the corner of her eye.

boom--

Amidst the dazzling blue-purple light, the golden chains binding the girl broke into several pieces, along with hundreds of Xuanyuan swords, which were also reduced to their atomic state.

"I'm sorry, the Seven Thunders of Purification is not in good condition and cannot withstand continuous high-intensity battles."

In a low voice, Yae Sakura offered an explanation for her paddling behavior.

"It's alright, it was my oversight."

Shaking her head, Durandal regrouped, raised the Black Abyss White Flower and thrust it forward, suddenly unleashing a dazzling white light from her lance, instantly annihilating the remaining hundreds of Xuanyuan Swords.

At this point, there was no longer any need to conserve strength.

"Surrender, Bai!"

While breathing heavily, looking at the white-haired man who was only ten meters away from her, Yulandel said solemnly.
