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

Chapter 276 The White Test

When Durandal finally dealt with the doll Kevin and stepped through the already open door in front of the train, she was met with a rather strange sight.

Beneath an exceptionally lush Bodhi tree, Walter White sat playing chess with another handsome man with long gray hair. The black and white chess pieces were arranged in a staggered pattern, resembling two lines...

"Look, I won again."

The white stone fell and connected with four other white stones on a diagonal line, the white-haired man with a pure white mask said with complete naturalness, his hoarse voice revealing undisguised pride.

Yulandel: "..."

Sure enough, she shouldn't have had any expectations of this bastard's integrity.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Durandal." Noticing the girl's arrival, Shihen chuckled softly. "How about a game?"

As he spoke, Shihen placed the first white piece in the center of the chessboard.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Durandal immediately clenched her fist.

Why do you think I only came in now?!

With a slight raise of her brow, Durandal managed to suppress her inner rage and looked at the gray-haired man sitting opposite [Walter White], asking in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Before going to this meeting, Bishop Otto had also guessed Walter White's intentions.

Based on various indications, the most likely outcome for the Destiny faction is the Second Divine Key.

Although this key of the gods has never appeared before the world for thousands of years, Destiny can easily learn of its existence from some scattered records.

The only thing worth noting is why Walter White invited her to come along.

Judging from the fact that the other party was able to locate London, this guy must have a lot of intelligence.

If Welt White wanted to take the Divine Key, the most reasonable way would be to take action directly; there was no need to go through the trouble of calling her over as well.

But now, having seen the enormous locomotive hidden in another space, and the surprisingly secluded scene inside, Durandal understood somewhat.

Her intuition told her that, compared to the Second Divine Key, the gray-haired man before her was the true target of [Walter White].

"Hehehe, Durandal, stepping into this place so unprepared, you're far too careless." Shihen chuckled and offered an explanation, "Do you know that standing before you now is the true founder of the Church of Destiny, the most intelligent warrior of the previous civilization era, someone who sees through everything—past and future, whose code name is—[The Doctor]!"

"Just call me Su, Miss Durandal."

Completely ignoring the introduction the white-haired man had prepared for him, Su nodded slightly to Yulandel, a gentle smile on his face.

Yulandel: "..."

She felt that both of these guys were acting strangely.

[Walter White] Needless to say, the other party's words are always very exaggerated, and it is hard to tell what is true and what is false.

But another man who called himself Su... his introduction was excessively brief and completely meaningless.

At the very least, she couldn't glean any useful information from a name.

"Miss Durandal, please sit down. All your questions will be answered."

As if guessing what the girl was thinking, Su smiled and advised her.

"Of course, if you prefer to settle things with your fists, I don't mind playing along."

Shihen spoke calmly and naturally.

Upon hearing this, Durandal glared at the white-haired man with a hint of reproach in her beautiful eyes, and finally sat down cross-legged some distance away from the two of them.

If it were just a simple sparring match, she certainly wouldn't refuse, even though she knew in her heart that she had no chance of defeating [Walter White].

But more than the outcome of the battle, she cared about the exhilarating feeling of fighting her opponent.

But... this despicable and shameless guy has absolutely no manners.

If you lose, who knows what will happen on your face?

Durandal has no interest in humiliating herself in such matters.

Placing the black abyss white flower across her lap, the girl glanced at the two people in front of her, then looked at the white-haired man and asked softly, "What exactly is your purpose this time?"

The situation in London is being handled by the accompanying Valkyrie squad; her only task now is to ascertain Walter White's intentions.

"Heh~ Durandal, before answering this question, you need to understand who this person is."

Shihen chuckled softly, unhurriedly.

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Durandal turned her gaze to Su, her blue eyes flashing with contemplation.

Stared at by the girl and feeling the subtle gaze of the white-haired man beside her, Su sighed helplessly and nodded, saying, "Although there are some differences in the details, my identity is indeed as Mr. Bai said."

He secretly guided and gathered the three great families of Destiny, and he also directly passed down the three divine keys, including Void Treasury. So it is not wrong to say that he is the founder of the Church of Destiny.

As for the latter two, they are only slightly exaggerated, but in essence, there is no problem.

"Can you really see into the past and the future?"

Durandal frowned.

Putting everything else aside, this one ability alone is already quite extraordinary.

"To say I have complete insight would be an exaggeration. I can only see the trajectory of the development of all things." Shaking her head slightly, Su patiently explained, "Miss Durandal, you should know the concepts of the Sea of ​​Quanta and the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, right?"

Besides our intrinsic world, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers contains an infinite number of possibilities, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

Through the quantum sea, we can glimpse fleeting scenes of other worlds and thus understand the myriad possibilities beyond our own.

Yulandel: "..."

She felt as if she understood, yet also as if she didn't understand at all.

Shaking her head to clear away these chaotic thoughts, Durandal asked earnestly, "So, are you also one of the Lords of the World Serpent?"

She felt she now understood why Walter White had approached the other party.

"No." Su shook her head decisively at the question. "The Lord of the World Serpent has always been Kevin alone."

"..."

Durandal looked at the white-haired man beside her.

The other party is now that kind of Venerable Lord.

"You'll understand this later."

Su smiled and said softly.

"Then do you know his true identity?"

Durandal asked with a serious expression.

Even though the known information made Walter White's identity seem quite reasonable, her intuition told her that there must be a trap involved.

despair!

The sound of a chess piece falling rang out.

Seeing the smiling gaze of the white-haired man in front of her, Su helplessly followed suit and said, "You'll know in the future, but it's not time yet."

Having observed countless world bubbles, he knew what the best choice was.

"Is this the reason you had to come here!?"

Her gaze sharpened as she looked at the white-haired man.

She was certain that Sue, who claimed to be able to see into the past and future, must know the secret of [Walter White].

"No, the real reason I had to come here is you, Durandal!"

Shaking his head, he said softly, "Shihen placed a piece to make the five white pieces form a line, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers."

Hey!

A crisp sound rang out, and the [Sumeru Mustard Seed] where the three of them were located trembled instantly, and a vast aura immediately emanated from the void.

"This is... the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

This aura was not unfamiliar to her, and a look of surprise appeared on Durandal's face.

"Well, I need the help of the Sea of ​​Quanta to accomplish what I need to do next."

So I'll trouble you to stay here for a while.

With a smile, Shihen's hand lit up with a chaotic light, as if a world was about to be born.

Even if he obtained the same fusion factor as Su, he could not immediately exert the same power as Su due to factors such as compatibility and proficiency.

To put it simply, Su only needs to use the [Sumeru Mustard Seed] and the Second Divine Key to trap Durandal in an illusion, while Shihen must additionally use the power of the Quantum Sea to create a World Bubble and then throw Durandal into it.

This will be the White Mask version of the Trinity Test, and also the final hurdle for the girl to advance to the Heavenly Origin Realm.

"you……"

Realizing she had fallen into a trap, Durandal immediately thrust her gun at the white-haired man.

But before that, a white light had already shone and enveloped the girl.

Chapter 277 The Birth of Walter White

"Your talent is truly surprising, as you were able to adapt to the environment of the Sea of ​​Quanta so quickly."

Looking at the white-haired man in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in Su's eyes.

Creating a world bubble is not difficult for anyone who has ever been in contact with the Sea of ​​Quanta, but this person is clearly making their first contact with the Sea of ​​Quanta.

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

Shihen smiled and asked in return.

While the creation of a world bubble may sound incredible, in essence it is simply the dissipation of energy and information.

If left unchecked, anything thrown into the quantum sea will form a world bubble, only differing in size and duration.

For example, the ancestor Kevin, who has been lying in the Sea of ​​Quanta for over a thousand years, has had his overflowing energy form countless world bubbles.

Compared to a world bubble, something that can still exist stably after leaving its own world bubble is far more precious.

Therefore, to be precise, creating a world bubble is not difficult; what is difficult is creating a world bubble that can exist stably, just like the [Sumeru Mustard Seed] that Su possesses.

Compared to the intrinsic world, over 99.9% of world bubbles are merely fleeting glimpses, like a rainbow formed by sunlight scattering after passing through a prism—illusory and untouchable, dissolving into the quantum sea in an instant.

Just like Yang Chaoyue in a certain bubble world, even though he reversed the result of the second Honkai on the surface and obtained the power of the Herrscher of the Void, it was nothing more than a bubble and an illusion.

Therefore, the world bubble contained within Durandal is indeed extremely rare.

This is probably the extraordinary adventure unique to this protagonist of the era.

Hearing the white-haired man's incredibly confident words, Su couldn't help but smile: "That's true."

Given the power the other party possesses, it would be surprising if they couldn't do that.

He had witnessed this scene many times during his numerous observations of the World Bubble through the Second Divine Key.

"So, while we wait for Miss Durandal to complete her trial, shall we continue?"

As he spoke, Su placed a black piece in the center of the board.

Shi Hen: “…”

Objectively speaking, Gomoku is not a fair game, because the difference between going first and going second is almost obvious.

Therefore, in his previous matches against Su, he always took the initiative.

But this time...

I never thought someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you would go astray!

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Shihen pointed at the corner opposite Heizi and said, "Then I'll let you have this one time."

Anyway, there's still some time before Durandal leaves that world bubble, so he's not in a hurry.
