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

"One, one year old?"

Kiana exclaimed in confusion, only then realizing that Siegfried seemed excessively young, almost as if he had just shed his boyish naiveté and entered maturity.

Moreover, the other party actually had two hands!

It's important to know that when they last met in his memory, Siegfried already only had one right arm left.

Without offering any answers to the girl's questions, the man couldn't help but gasp for breath, as if he were carrying some unbearable burden, before continuing, "So, to prevent you from hurting them, please die here, Herrscher!"

Lawyer?

Upon hearing this word, which had appeared unusually frequently in recent days, Kiana blinked in confusion, only to realize that her appearance seemed somewhat different from before.

A pair of purple arms that looked as if they had been completely corrupted by the Honkai, a long striped skirt that almost dragged on the ground, and long hair that flowed freely without any wind...

All of this seemed to indicate that she had completely become a different person.

Kiana didn't have time to think about what this image meant; at that moment, she only had one thought in her mind: to stop Siegfried.

She knew all too well that fully unleashing the power of the Heavenly Fire Judgment meant the user's death.

"Wait! Dad!"

I really am Kiana, your daughter!

You gave me this name in that little log cabin in Siberia!

Kiana hurriedly explained, trying to use the backstab to wake the other person.

But Siegfried clearly ignored all of this, simply raising his Heavenly Fire Greatsword and shouting, "Heavenly Fire... forth—"

boom!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and a beam of brilliant gold pierced straight through the white-haired man's chest, instantly weakening Siegfried's momentum and dimming the light on the Heavenly Fire Greatsword.

"Sorry, Siegfried, I can't let you destroy the Second Herrscher like this."

A mocking voice rang out, and a blond man wearing a clown mask appeared on the snowfield. He held a weapon that was exactly the same as the pistol-shaped Heavenly Fire Judgment, only its color was as dazzling as gold.

"Dad!" Kiana cried out instinctively upon seeing Siegfried lying dead, his life hanging in the balance. Her eyes were filled with rage as she looked at the blond man. "Who are you?! Why did you hurt Dad?!"

"Heh..." Faced with the girl's question, the blond man just chuckled softly, "Hurry up and run, Second Herrscher."

Do everything in your power to escape, and then... bring me the true power that belongs to God.

Kiana had no desire to listen to his nonsense; all that remained in her heart was an endless rage that wanted to tear the man to shreds.

But just as she took a step toward the blond man, an intense headache surged from the depths of her brain, causing Kiana to stop abruptly.

Coming to her senses, the girl realized that she was no longer surrounded by a vast, white snowfield, but by an even more desolate and cold gray sea of ​​sand, just like... the moon in an animated film?

But shouldn't there be no trace of human activity on the moon? How could there be such a huge temple?

Looking at the magnificent building that seemed to have stood there since the beginning of civilization, Kiana's doubts deepened.

[Step forward.]

A voice suddenly rang in the girl's mind.

"Huh? Who are you? Where do you want me to go?"

Kiana couldn't help but shout, but she heard no sound, as if the surroundings were truly a vacuum, just like the ones described in books.

Moreover, despite her deep confusion, Kiana found that her body was moving uncontrollably, and she stepped toward a golden prismatic crystal in the center of the temple.

Swish!

In a single instant, a pure white expanse, devoid of any impurities, suddenly expanded. Kiana felt as if she had fallen into another pure white space, and the spot where the golden crystal had been was replaced by a pure white figure identical to herself.

Even though they looked exactly alike, Kiana could still deeply sense the greatness and sublimity of this figure.

Standing in front of the other person, she felt as small and insignificant as an ant.

As she slowly and reverently walked towards the other person, the pure white figure also slowly extended a finger towards her.

Just like the widely circulated Genesis, a pure white figure pointed a finger at her brow, and Kiana felt countless pieces of knowledge rushing towards her like a tide, trying to forcefully squeeze into her mind.

Being chased by knowledge might sound like a wonderful thing, but at this moment Kiana felt as if her mind was being filled up in an instant, and could explode at any moment.

Before Kiana could truly feel the pain, the swelling and pain receded like a tide, leaving only a few things vividly imprinted in the depths of her consciousness.

For example, this pure white figure is actually a projection of the Honkai will in the real world, and another example is... the truth about the four "keys" mentioned in the message from the Moonlight Throne battleship.

Is this the true power of God?

Looking at her body, which hadn't changed much compared to before, Kiana could clearly feel the four gems within her giving her a continuous source of power.

She felt like she was invincible!

You have gained true power; now go and destroy humanity.

Hearing these words echoing deep within her mind, Kiana was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Huh? Exterminate humanity? Why?"

But before the girl could think it through, a gentle yet irresistible force instantly spread throughout Kiana's body.

In the blink of an eye, Kiana realized that the scenery around her had changed from the moon back to a snowfield, and that she was now on top of an incredibly tall tower.

"Class monitor? What are you doing here?"

And the person next to you is…

Kiana looked around and saw an unexpected gray-haired girl, her face showing undisguised surprise.

Yes, without a doubt, the person appearing with her on this tower is none other than Fu Hua, and she is wearing a red outfit with a distinct Chinese style.

Not only that, but the blond man standing next to Fu Hua also looked very familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before.

But just like Siegfried, whom she had encountered before, Fu Hua had no intention of chatting or reminiscing with the girl. Instead, she charged forward with a light blue longsword in hand.

"Herrscher, surrender!"

With a soft shout, Fu Hua moved with lightning speed, a splash of water-blue light rapidly magnifying in Kiana's eyes.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Kiana Attempts to Reverse the Tragedy

In the real world, outside the grove of trees, at St. Freya.

"..."

Looking at the forest shrouded in white light, the three Valkyries, Durandal, Rita, and Fu Hua, exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.

Although it only revealed its power and did not actually appear, they could all tell that this white light was definitely the work of [Walter White].

According to the previous agreement with World Serpent, [Walter White] has the highest authority to handle matters concerning Herrschers, so they should temporarily recuse themselves at this time.

However, Otto recently ordered them to bring K423 back to Schicksal headquarters.

Compared to any so-called covenant, the orders from the bishop naturally held higher priority in the hearts of the Valkyries.

But... the problem is that [Walter White] is not someone to be trifled with.

On the contrary, the other party was surprisingly tough.

Even Durandal lacked the confidence to complete Otto's orders if she were to rashly engage in combat with the opponent.

The next second, as if knowing the girls' thoughts, a light screen suddenly appeared, reflecting Kiana's experiences in this world.

"It seems that this leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance is as arrogant as ever."

With a light laugh, Rita's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

Without a doubt, Walter White's actions were not an admission of weakness, but rather conveyed a different message:

I don't mind letting you know what I'm doing, but if you want to stop me, you'd better think twice!

"Let's see what Bai is up to first."

After a moment's thought, Durandal made her decision.

She didn't think Walter White would do anything pointless.

Clearly, the other party wants to use the current world bubble to achieve a certain project.

"We have no other choice now."

Fu Hua sighed helplessly.

The battle that took place in Singapore two years ago has established Walter White's invincible position in this world. Whatever he wants to do is simply beyond the control of the few of them.

Perhaps, only Kevin can truly rival Walter White.

Thinking of that old friend whom she barely remembered, Fu Hua's heart sank.

For a moment, the three Valkyries, who shared the same goal, had differing feelings.

But regardless, Kiana's adventure in the world continues.

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

"mom!"

Recovering from the terror of death, Kiana instinctively cried out, only to realize that she seemed to have escaped the scorched snowfield.

Staring blankly at the cramped room that resembled a prison, Kiana's consciousness remained stuck in that previous experience.

After returning from the moon, she encountered Fu Hua, Theresa, and others, and each time she was quickly beaten to near death by these very familiar people, leaving her no chance to explain.

She clearly possessed divine power, becoming almost omnipotent, so why couldn't she even defeat a single person?

The only saving grace is that after being defeated, she always manages to survive for various reasons and then retaliates against Fu Hua and the others.

But... why is it that when she's being beaten, she gets to control herself, but when she defeats Auntie and the others, she can only watch helplessly?

Thinking about that experience that only felt real when she was being beaten, Kiana couldn't help but feel like going crazy.

But no matter how much she complained, there was one thing she was grateful for.

After defeating Fu Hua and Theresa in succession, she finally saw the person she had always longed to see but had never had the chance to meet—Cecilia.

Even though she knew the other person was her mother, Kiana had only ever seen her in photos and various documents.

In the real world, Cecilia sacrificed herself in the Second Honkai War sixteen years ago.

Moreover, what pleased Kiana the most was that Cecilia did not immediately attack her like the others, but instead tried to persuade her to let go of her hatred and give up her crazy idea of ​​destroying humanity.

"As expected of a mother, she's much gentler than Theresa and her gang!"

Kiana still feels a sweet warmth in her heart when she recalls Cecilia's beautiful face.

Unfortunately, even such a gentle mother could not escape the clutches of "her" during that experience, and was imprisoned in another dimension by her using the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

Seriously, who's behind all this?!

How could she possibly lay a hand on such a beautiful and gentle mother?

Even if she really became that Herrscher, she would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never lay a hand on her mother!

Of course, Siegfried, that bastard who abandoned his daughter, deserves a few more beatings.

Who told that stinky old man to beat her so badly just now?

During her battle with Siegfried and Cecilia, she had just locked her mother up when Siegfried picked up the Skyfire Greatsword and chased after her, hacking wildly at her.

Even though she was killed by a bunch of bombs falling from the sky at the end of the battle, the experience of being chased and hacked by Siegfried was still a lingering shadow in the girl's heart.

But then, thinking of Siegfried in the real world who had already fallen victim to Welt White, Kiana couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

Now, the only way she can see Siegfried again is through this strange space, whose location she doesn't know.

"No, Kiana, you need to pull yourself together! Hen is waiting for you to bring him food!"

Kiana patted her cheeks and said to herself.

She doesn't have time to linger in a place like this.

As she pondered this, Kiana glanced around and noticed a date circled in red on the calendar by the wall—February 1, 2000.

Is this... sixteen years ago?

Realizing this fact, and recalling her previous experience, Kiana, whose external brain was offline, quickly connected everything in her mind.

Clearly, she must have experienced the entire collapse from the perspective of the Second Herrscher.

Thinking of this, Kiana immediately looked at her hands.

Hmm, very good. She's as slender and beautiful as ever, which proves that she's no longer the Second Herrscher.
