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

boom--

A beam of light fell from the sky, striking Ganesha with an incredibly heavy thud, instantly interrupting the Honkai Beast's charge and forcing it to its knees.

Like a rabbit pinned down by a falcon.

A thought popped into Lena's mind.

The next instant, a violent aftershock spread out, blowing away the surrounding Valkyries and raising a large amount of dust that concealed everything in the mist.

Even amidst this mist, Lena could still clearly see that the one standing on Ganesha was a human.

Or rather, it is a creature that looks like a human.

At least, she had never seen a human reach that speed.

Lena felt a chill run down her spine, and an overwhelming sense of crisis rose within her, even more intense than when she fought Ganesha, causing the Valkyrie's heart to pound.

Without much hesitation, Lena raised the heavy particle cannon, which she had already charged to its limit, and then...

call out--

A blazing yellow beam of light shot out from the cannon muzzle, piercing through the dust and mist like a sharp sword, straight towards the stranger's figure.

But the moment it touched the figure, the beam of light seemed to have a mind of its own, splitting to the left and right, landing on the building and creating two more ruins around it.

"It's a bit inappropriate for a young Valkyrie to be so enthusiastic on our first meeting."

As the dust settled, a figure in white robes wearing a white mask was revealed, pointing a finger forward.

Clearly, it was this seemingly effortless flick of the finger that deflected an attack launched with all the might of an A-rank Valkyrie.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Let's Dance

A white hooded robe and a matching white metal mask, coupled with overwhelming and terrifying strength.

Without a doubt, this is...

"One billion!"

The sword-wielding Valkyrie from the third squad cried out in alarm.

"..."

Looking at the Valkyrie who had spoken, the white light flickered in her eyes beneath the Time Mark mask.

So that's it. You want to make this conspicuous billion dollars your new code name, so as to protect Walter's name?

He had seen through the entire anti-entropy plan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Walter! It was my teammate who acted inappropriately. I apologize on her behalf!"

Lena quickly lowered her head.

Although everyone knew this guy was an imposter, when he actually stood in front of them, they had to call him Walter.

If she could, she would even call the other side's leader "Lord Alliance Leader," as long as Shihen could forgive her team members for their offense.

Seeing the Valkyrie's fear, Shihen simply shook his head: "If an apology were useful..."

Rumbling--

Struggling to his feet, Ganesha shook off the stones, his head bobbing back and forth as he tried to figure out what had happened.

The vitality of the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts is truly remarkable.

With a sigh, Shihen pulled out a crimson heavy sword from behind his back and said to Lena and the others, "Excuse me, could you wait ten seconds?"

Don't worry, it will be fine soon.

The greatsword was a weapon he casually picked up from the transport ship's warehouse.

Although he wasn't good at fighting with weapons, a weapon could still be very useful at times.

For example, when you have to control your strength so as not to kill the other person.

Lena: "???"

Ten seconds?

What is this person saying? Is he planning to take down an Emperor-level Honkai Beast in ten seconds?

There was no intention to explain, or rather, Shihen chose to explain himself through his actions.

With a tap of his toes on Ganesha's back, Shihen leaped high into the air. The blade in his hand traced a full arc in the air before landing on the giant white elephant's left foreleg.

What terrible swordsmanship...

Lena couldn't help but think.

Moreover, the opponent chose a terrible point of attack. Who would directly attack the gray shell of a Honkai Beast?

Even the sword-wielding Valkyrie in their team knows they should attack the Honkai Beast's joints.

But as if to shatter Lena's understanding, the crimson blade sliced ​​off one of the Honkai Beast's legs like a hot knife through butter, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut.

The Valkyries: "..."

Is this really the Emperor-level Honkai Beast that they barely managed to break through after fighting it for so long?

Ignoring what the Valkyries were thinking, Shihen simply continued his attack.

His body paused in mid-air, a white light flashed beneath his feet, and Shihen shot out like an arrow, leaving a crimson trail as his sword blade sliced ​​through the air.

This time, his target was Ganesha's left hind leg.

The blade sliced ​​through without any resistance, and Ganesha, who had lost both legs, tilted to the side, letting out a deafening roar.

But compared to its usual savage roar, the Emperor-class Honkai Beast now sounded like a mouse caught by a cat, its voice filled only with dying resentment.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Ganesha's limbs were removed, leaving only a barrel-like body lying on the ground, his four eyes filled with helplessness.

He flipped over and landed in front of Ganesha. Shihen twirled his sword, shook off the purplish-black liquid clinging to it, and looked at the Honkai Beast unhurriedly, saying, "Are you ready to face your death?"

Why didn't you just lie there quietly from the beginning? Why did you have to interrupt his show-off act?

Now, this is the only way you can enter the jackal's lab.

Whether or not it understood Shihen's words, Ganesha looked at the human standing in front of him with his eyes wide open.

hum-

A burst of red light erupted as a massive amount of Honkai energy shot out from Ganesha's mouth as beams of light, determined to pulverize the human who had caused her so much harm.

But the next second, the light was split apart.

A crimson blade suddenly flew out, forcefully tearing apart the red Honkai energy torrent, and with an unstoppable momentum, pierced Ganesha's throat, pinning the Honkai Beast firmly to the ground.

The red light abruptly stopped.

His body leaped high into the air once more, and Shihen spun three times in the air before unleashing a punch of maximum power that slammed heavily down on Ganesha's back.

boom--

Like a road roller weighing several tons suddenly falling from the sky, an incredibly heavy and loud bang reverberated, causing the ground within a radius of tens of meters to sink and dent.

As for Ganesha, its entire gray shell on its back was covered with cracks, as if it would fall off with the slightest touch.

Brushing the dust off his clothes as if it were a trivial matter, Shihen sat down on the now quiet Emperor-class Honkai Beast. His eyes, glowing with white light, looked at the Valkyries who were completely stunned, and said, "Now, we can continue what we had to do."

At this moment, exactly ten seconds had passed since he made his request to the crowd.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Walter, I'm so sorry..."

She collapsed to the ground instantly, the sword-wielding Valkyrie on the verge of tears.

It was only then that she realized the extent of the trouble she had caused by her careless words.

This person who dares to impersonate the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance truly has the ability!

“Mr. Walter, it is my fault for failing to discipline my subordinate. I am willing to take any punishment you may impose on her!”

Lena stood in front of the sword-wielding Valkyrie, bowing her head and speaking sincerely.

"Oh, really?"

Looking at the Valkyrie with long, brown hair before him with great interest, Shihen asked in an extremely flippant tone.

"Captain Lena..."

The sword-wielding Valkyrie looked up, her face blank and helpless as she stared at the captain who was protecting her behind her.

"Lena!"

"Major Lena!"

The other Valkyries couldn't help but cry out as well.

Compared to a B-rank Valkyrie who can only be considered excellent, Lena, an A-rank Valkyrie who can be called an ace in the entire Far East Branch, is undoubtedly more important.

However, they can also understand each other's desire to protect their companions.

For a moment, everyone's feelings were extremely complicated. They looked at the sword-wielding Valkyrie, then at Lena, and some even looked at Shihen with hidden resentment.

However, after the incident with the sword-wielding Valkyrie, no one dared to openly provoke him anymore.

Before they knew Shihen's specific purpose, they still held a sliver of hope that perhaps everything could still be salvaged.

"Yes, I am willing to accept your punishment, any form of it..."

Lena lowered her head and spoke meekly, feeling the various gazes behind her, each with a different emotion, as she put down the heavy particle cannon that had long since run out of energy.

“Since that’s the case…” Shihen said, stroking his chin as if he was seriously thinking about something, “I’ve heard that the Valkyries of the Far East Branch are all good at singing and dancing, so why don’t you dance for me?”

If you can't satisfy me, you know what will happen...

"..."

Lena suddenly raised her head, her pupils dilating involuntarily.

The other Valkyries' expressions also instantly turned strange.

"By the way, I have some companions who want to come over. Could you please have mercy on them and not stop them?"

Shihen said very politely.

Given the firepower of Jackal's transport ship, it would be quite difficult for it to break through the Schicksal's warning line.

Chapter Thirty: The Prophet Jackal

When Raven and his crew arrived, this was the scene they saw.

The boy in the white robe sat on a cylindrical white elephant torso. Around the elephant were four thick limbs that undoubtedly belonged to the elephant before, but had been cut off by a sword.

In front of the boy was a pretty woman with long brown hair tied in a ponytail, who was... performing a shamanistic ritual?

Seeing the woman hopping around and making unidentified gestures with her hands, Raven immediately became alert.

She knew that some small tribes in this world possessed secret methods that allowed them to use shamanistic rituals to induce psychological suggestion, thereby unleashing power several times greater than their own.

Without a doubt, the Valkyrie before us carries such a legacy.

As for the group of Valkyries on the side who wanted to watch but were too shy to, fidgeting and seemingly doing nothing, Raven had already ignored them.

"Isn't that...enough already?"

Upon seeing Raven and the others arrive, Lena stopped what she was doing and glared angrily at the boy on Ganesha's back, her large, watery eyes filled with grief and indignation.

Ten minutes... She danced an awkward dance for a full ten minutes!

God knows how she got through those ten minutes; the girl was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to smash her head against Ganesha and end it all.

Moreover, this was witnessed by the members of the third squad and the Valkyries of the other two squads, making Lena so ashamed that she wanted to faint so she wouldn't have to face all of this.

Her integrity, which she had carefully guarded for over twenty years, is gone just like that...

"alright."

Shihen waved his hand.

Those ten minutes were incredibly difficult for him, having to watch something so offensive.

This Valkyrie is quite pretty, but when she starts dancing...

Ugh~
