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

In the thirty-fifth cycle, Kiana finally killed Otto, but... a second Otto popped up the very next second.

In the forty-ninth cycle, after killing Otto twenty-five times in a row, Kiana finally learned the truth that Otto could not be truly killed.

In the eighty-third cycle, Kiana completely destroyed Otto and most of the Destiny he belonged to, and then... died beneath the Black Abyss White Flower.

"I'm sorry, child, I have to do this..."

As Cecilia watched the girl's golden eyes gradually dim, she uttered her final words with a sorrowful expression.

Hearing that gentle voice, as tender as the first time they met, and looking at the endless ruins and rubble around her, Kiana's heart finally sank into an abyss.

In this hellish world, there was never any possibility for her and her mother to survive together.

On the other side, having witnessed Kiana's entire struggle from the depths of her consciousness, Sirin remained silent for a long time before slowly uttering a single word: "Fool..."

She was already one step away from destroying humanity, but because of her soft heart, she chose to "die" at that woman's hands. There's simply no one more stupid than Kiana.

With a cold smile, Sirin selectively ignored the fact that she had been silently cheering for Kiana since the fifth cycle and had unlocked all the restrictions on her Herrscher powers.

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

In the real world, Saint Freya also witnessed Kiana's gradual descent into depravity, and the three Valkyries were momentarily speechless.

"Slander! This is a shameful slander!"

After a long pause, Durandal was the first to grit her teeth and shout.

Although she didn't think Otto was a good person either, she absolutely didn't believe he was as crazy as he appeared in the world bubble.

Upon hearing Durandal's words, Rita, who was always used to agreeing with others, smiled but remained silent.

She knew very well that the bishop was indeed the kind of person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Beside her, Fu Hua's delicate body trembled slightly, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Can trusting Otto really protect China?

Thinking of the countless cycles of deduction within the bubble of the world, she couldn't help but begin to waver.

The next second, as if knowing what the girls were thinking, the following words flashed across the white light screen:

This story is entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

Furthermore, I firmly believe that Bishop Otto is a great hero in the fight against the Honkai, and that humanity will surely lead to a bright future under his leadership.

Seeing this, Yulandel could no longer bear it.

"Bai! You come out here!"

With a loud shout, Durandal punched the light barrier.

Bang!

With a single punch, the girl unleashed a terrifying force that instantly created a storm that swept forward, completely dispelling the white light barrier and the white light that enveloped the forest.

Amidst the falling and broken trees, the white-haired man was nowhere to be seen in the woods; only a white-haired girl lay unconscious on the ground.

Even just the experience within the World Bubble, a full eighty-three cycles, would have exhausted Kiana's entire mental strength, not to mention the psychological trauma of being pierced by the Black Abyss White Flower at the end.

For the white-haired dumpling, this was definitely a nightmare that would leave it with psychological trauma for a long time.

"Heh~ I sent you to bring K423 back. That Bishop of Destiny is really petty. He still holds a grudge about what happened ten years ago."

The hoarse voice of Walter White echoed in the air.

"Bai! If you have guts, don't hide your true colors!"

Durandal shouted angrily.

Although she no longer respected Otto as much as before, she couldn't help but feel angry seeing him being insulted like this.

"Durandal, we will meet, but now is not the time."

Just wait patiently and prepare to leave Destiny.

With a light laugh, [Walter White]'s voice gradually faded into the distance.

For a moment, only the unconscious white fur ball, three S-rank Valkyries, and... a boy in a hospital gown who had staggered there remained in the woods.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Standoff Under the Cover of Night

"So, from beginning to end, headquarters' target has only been Kiana, not Mei or Wendy, right?"

Class monitor

Shi Hen glanced at the unconscious white fur ball lying on the ground and the three fully armed S-rank Valkyries beside him, and asked with a cold smile, his eyes no longer showing any warmth as he looked at Fu Hua.

What happened in this atmosphere needs no further explanation.

"..."

Hearing the boy's question, Fu Hua remained silent and speechless.

She's even wearing the Godslayer Armor; she can't exactly say she and Durandal are just out for a stroll, can she?

Moreover, the fact that she wore the Shadow Knight costume but not the mask itself signifies her break with St. Freya.

Silently sending out a distress signal, Shihen's gaze fell on the blonde Valkyrie who still shone brightly in the night: "Miss Durandal, I have a question to ask."

What unforgivable crime did Kiana commit that prompted three S-rank Valkyries to mobilize and capture her?

Is it simply because she's Mr. Siegfried's daughter?!

He asked angrily, his body trembling slightly as if he were struggling to suppress his emotions and finish speaking.

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua tried to explain, "Shi Hen, things aren't what you think..."

"If I had to put it in words, this was her destiny."

Taking a deep breath, Durandal interrupted.

The signs of the Herrscher of the Void's awakening are becoming increasingly clear, and her reappearance is an unavoidable fact.

This is Kiana's inevitable fate, the karmic consequence that the girl must bear from the moment she is born...

Although she could use this reason to explain herself to the boy and to exonerate herself and the others, Durandal knew that what she was doing was aiding and abetting evil.

Regardless of how one phrases it, Durandal understands that she is not on the right path, and she would never deny it.

"That's such a pity. I've never believed in fate."

With a light laugh, Shihen took a step forward, a surge of powerful energy rising within him, causing countless withered leaves to swirl wildly.

Amidst the raging winds, a cyan flying sword with a slightly transparent texture slowly appeared.

As a mass-produced divine key, the Xuanyuan Sword may not have a high ceiling, but its forms are so numerous that they are dazzling.

After all, hidden within the Xuanyuan Sword are a thousand branches of the authority of the nine Herrschers from the previous civilization era.

Even though these forms don't deal much real damage, their flashy appearance is quite intimidating.

With the Apollo mech damaged and unusable, this was already the boy's all-out effort.

"A new form of the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Seeing this, Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.

Normally, after its power is activated, the Xuanyuan Sword will change its form according to the wielder's will.

But this change only happens once.

Even if she wanted to use the Ruoshui form of the Xuanyuan Sword, she would have to cheat by borrowing Yu Duchen first.

Surprised by the boy's extraordinary talent, Fu Hua's expression immediately turned serious: "In that case, I will do it..."

"No, leave this to me. You and Rita take Kiana back to headquarters first."

Summoning the Black Abyss White Flower and gently placing it on the ground, Durandal interrupted directly.

She admired the boy's courage to fight against three S-class Valkyries.

To meet the boy's challenge with the utmost respect was the highest form of respect she could offer him.

Understanding Durandal's meaning, the strongest Valkyrie, Fu Hua could only sigh helplessly and say, "Then I'll leave it to you, Durandal."

She absolutely trusted Durandal in terms of loyalty and reliability.

Picking up the white fluffy ball from the ground, Fu Hua immediately activated the Shadow Knight Armor's propulsion system, transforming into a ball of golden light and rapidly ascending into the air.

Rita bowed slightly to the blonde Valkyrie and said, "Lady Durandal, please be careful. I will be waiting for your return at headquarters."

As she finished speaking, Rita's Azure Knight armor burst forth with blue and white flames, propelling the girl into a beam of light as she caught up with the Shadow Knight.

"Leave Kiana here!"

With a sharp shout, Shihen pointed forward with one hand, forming a sword-like finger. The cyan longsword shot out and, in the next second, its blade became transparent and disappeared into the air.

A sword that can become invisible?

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but Durandal's movements were not slow at all, and she threw a punch straight forward.

Even if it could manipulate the refraction of light to make itself disappear, the sword would still exist in this space.

As expected, Durandal quickly noticed an anomaly in the refraction of light in the air under the impact of the punch.

Without hesitation, Durandal stepped forward and threw another punch.

"drink!"

With a soft shout from the girl, a cyan flying sword appeared and instantly shattered into countless points of light that dissipated.

Durandal's power as the strongest Valkyrie is such that a single, earnest punch can shatter a Soul Steel weapon.

But at the same time the cyan flying sword shattered, a purple flying sword also appeared to the side and quickly passed the blonde Valkyrie, chasing after Fu Hua and the others.

Seeing that fleeting purple light, Durandal was momentarily stunned.

The fact that this young man could anticipate her actions and conceal his true killing move in advance truly amazed her.

Unfortunately, that was all the other party could do.

With a swift spin, Durandal twisted her waist and hurled the Black Abyss White Flower like a javelin with all her might.

Swish!

Instantly transforming into a streak of white light, the Black Abyss White Flower caught up with the purple flying sword, piercing and shattering it in a mere instant.

"That's enough. Your strength is not enough to support you to continue."

Grasping the white lance that had come flying back from the corner, Durandal looked at the ashen-faced boy and said in a deep voice, "I'm trying to persuade you."

Although she was very reluctant to do this, she had reasons to obey Otto's orders at this moment.

"If he can't do it, what about me?"

A sudden gust of wind blew up, bringing with it a gentle yet resolute voice, and at the same time, the figure of a green-haired girl appeared in the wind.

"Wendy..." Upon seeing the person who arrived, Shihen's expression softened slightly, and he immediately asked, "Where is the headmistress?"

Kiana had been missing for so long, so of course Theresa and the others had noticed.

At this moment, Theresa was already turning St. Freya upside down, but Shihen just "coincidentally" ran into Durandal and the others first.

Well, whether others believe it or not, Shihen himself believes it.

“Teacher Theresa has already gone to catch up with Kiana,” Wendy explained, noticing the boy’s still pale face and feeling a pang of pain in her heart. “Hen, leave this to me. You can rest for a while.”

As she spoke, the girl reached out and pushed, summoning a gentle breeze that carried Shihen away.

The boy was still injured, and she didn't want his condition to worsen due to the upcoming battle.

After doing all this, Wendy turned around to look at the strongest Valkyrie in front of her, and conjured two cyan wind blades with her hands, saying, "Durandal, it's my turn to be your opponent now!"

As she spoke, the girl's gaze towards the blonde Valkyrie became complicated.

Before she conducted the experiment on the Gem of Desire, when she was still an A-rank Valkyrie, Durandal was the idol she admired and strived to emulate.

On countless nights when her faith almost wavered, he was like a shining star, guiding her in the right direction.

But now...

Although she still didn't know the reason why the other party had kidnapped Kiana, it was enough to make Wendy feel disillusioned.

However, after experiencing a series of events in New Zealand, Wendy no longer experiences such strong emotional fluctuations.

Because she has found the stars that are truly worth protecting.
