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

Seeing this, Durandal gritted her teeth and said nothing. She simply stomped her foot, creating a huge sand pit, and her body shot out like a cannonball. Her pure white lance, carrying immense force, stabbed heavily towards the man.

when!

A white baseball bat appeared, blocking the spear and tilting it upwards. The two weapons rubbed together violently, sparking countless golden sparks.

Standing so close, looking into the man's bright, shimmering eyes, Yulandel seemed to read something within them.

No words were needed; the Valkyrie's golden armor shone with a star-like glow, adding an extra touch of ferocity to her lance movements.

This is proof of the girl's all-out effort.

Having fought Walter White multiple times, Durandal was well aware of the man's strength and knew that he was no opponent she could easily defeat.

After many years, when they faced each other again, she could even feel that the gap between them had widened.

Does this guy have no limits?

Seeing the man's impeccable defense and sensing the ease and freedom with which he attacked and defended, Durandal's heart sank.

On the other hand, Mei's feelings were inevitably complicated as she finally reunited with the boy after becoming a Herrscher again.

She thought she could resolve everything before the boy returned, but unfortunately...

With a sigh in her heart, Mei felt a surge of joy at the prospect of seeing the boy again.

Even though she was prepared to say goodbye to the boy, how could she really bear to part with him?

Mei glanced at the Herrscher of the Void beside her, who was putting on a relaxed demeanor, and looked at the boy in front of her who was still wearing a mecha. Her purple eyes, which had appeared majestic and terrifying due to the power of the Herrscher, instantly became gentle and soft.

"Hen, let's face this battle together."

With a smile, Mei made up her mind to protect the boy no matter what.

While the Apollo mechs are undoubtedly high-performing, they are not very useful in combat of this level.

Not to mention, the boy's mecha suit is now so badly damaged that it's constantly smoking.

One can imagine that the other side must have gone through an incredibly difficult battle to get here.

Mei felt a pang of pain in her heart as she surveyed the battered red mecha before her.

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, the boy's voice sounded solemn and serious, "This time, let's settle things with that imposter together."

As soon as he finished speaking, streams of blazing red flames, seemingly liquid, suddenly flowed from the gaps in the Apollo mech, quickly turning the entire suit of armor into a golden-red hue reminiscent of the sun.

At this moment, the mecha seemed to have truly transformed into the mythical deity who brought light and warmth to the world.

"This is... my Plague Gem!?"

Upon noticing the change in the boy, Xilin's expression immediately changed.

At this moment, she finally understood why teleporting this guy consumed so much power.

"That bastard!"

In an instant, Mei understood the whole story, and her gaze toward the white-haired man turned fierce.

Having already gifted her a Seven Thunder Blade of Purification, Walter White naturally wouldn't mind gifting her another Plague Gem.

This guy is like a god on high above, arbitrarily manipulating and altering the fate of all of them, just to satisfy his own wicked pleasure.

With arcs of electricity crackling around her body, Mei's killing intent towards [Walter] had reached its peak.

Apollo gently patted the black-haired girl's shoulder to comfort her, then turned to look at the Herrscher of the Void beside her.

"Kiana..."

He spoke softly, his tone incredibly complex, but it quickly softened, "I will definitely bring you back."

"Ha! What a boring and childish idea!"

You should first think about how to survive against that white-haired human.

Faced with the boy's vow, Xilin merely sneered, her pretty face full of arrogance.

As the queen of the Honkai, do these guys really think she's like those traitors before her, that a few nice words will make her change her mind and fight for those filthy and disgusting ants?

Simply ridiculous!

Bang!

A muffled thud rang out, and a golden figure suddenly flashed past their eyes.

That's because Durandal was knocked away.

Her body left a long trail on the red sand dunes. Durandal, leaning on her lance, half-knelt to her feet, her gaze sweeping over the three with a complex expression.

She felt like she shouldn't be there.

Realizing that this was not the time to argue, Mei immediately drew her long sword and unleashed a fierce slash at the white-haired man, the crimson blade flashing more than ten meters high.

With a sweep of the baseball bat, the slash was shattered, and Shihen immediately met a dark red beam of light released by the Star of Eden.

By the time Shihen annihilated him with a single punch, Durandal, having finished recuperating, had already thrust her spear forward again.

"Hahaha! That's how it should be!"

Let me see if you can at least give me some enjoyment!

With a hoarse laugh, Shihen's offensive intensified again, pressing the three down so hard they could barely breathe with just one baseball bat.

"..."

Gazing at the completely one-sided battle before her, Sirin carefully avoided being caught in the crossfire, a glint of light flashing in her golden eyes.

Ha, what a despicable and shameless bunch of humans!

They're clearly a bunch of despicable creatures who kill each other for their own gain, yet they still want to drag her down with them?

As she pondered this, Xilin secretly gathered her strength, but a sense of sorrow inexplicably rose in her heart.

Are you interfering with me again, Kiana...?

With one hand pressed against her chest, feeling the throbbing in her heart, Xilin frowned slightly.

From the moment that human monkey appeared, Kiana's struggle deep within her consciousness suddenly intensified, to the point that she almost couldn't suppress it anymore.

However... the more you want to be with that human monkey, the more I'll prevent you from having your way.

Not only that, I want that guy dead! I'm going to destroy everything you cherish!

I lost everything because of humanity, so how can you expect to find happiness so easily?!

Thinking bitterly to herself, Sirin forcefully swiped her finger to the side, and a golden spatial wormhole suddenly opened up.

As a Herrscher who controls space, there is no cage in this world that can imprison her.

Unfortunately, I couldn't kill that human monkey myself and retrieve the remaining two Herrscher cores...

With a sigh of regret, Xilin caught sight of a rapidly approaching ice dragon and immediately darted into the wormhole at top speed.

Swish!

The ice dragon soared through the air, but only managed to tear off half of the slender arm, unable to completely stop the queen from leaving.

With a slight clench of his fist, Shihen caused the ice dragon and the half-arm to turn into dust and dissipate. Looking at the two girls whose faces showed signs of fatigue, Shihen couldn't help but chuckle softly: "It seems that our Honkai Queen has no intention of fighting alongside you all."

It would be strange if the Herrscher of the Void, who wields the most freedom in the world, were to participate in a battle that was almost certain to be lost.

After all, she has always been alone, and the Herrscher of the Void doesn't have the same reason to fight as Mei.

"Your plan has failed! Bai!"

Leaning on her spear and panting heavily, Durandal had a smile on her face.

"Even without the Herrscher of the Void, we will definitely stop you!"

The boy's voice inside the mecha remained defiant.

"This time, we won't let you succeed!"

Mei glanced at the bright red mecha beside her and said with a slightly stern face.

"Hehehe..."

Faced with their stubbornness, Shihen simply chuckled softly, "Since the female lead has already left, let's speed up our progress a bit."

Speaking in a hoarse voice, Shihen allowed the power within his body to shift towards the forbidden side, and a more chaotic and incomprehensible aura suddenly burst forth.

Swish!

A pair of bird-like wings extended from behind Shihen, pure white in color but with an incomparably gorgeous design, as if they were creatures from some kind of mythological imagination.

At the same time, the mask on the man's face was slightly deformed, leaving two gaps at the forehead so that a pair of antlers with a jade-like luster and resembling those of a young deer could slowly grow out.

Although there are only three types of Honkai Beast factors fused, it is enough for Shihen to develop his own [Karma Demon] form.

"Gu..."

Sensing the overwhelming aura of terror, Durandal couldn't help but swallow hard.

Is this level of power truly something that humans can possess?

Bang!

Before Durandal could marvel for even a few seconds, Shihen flapped his wings and instantly appeared in front of the girl, forcefully slamming his baseball bat forward.

when!

Hastily raising her spear to parry, Durandal felt an overwhelming and irresistible force surge through her. She lost her grip on the Black Abyss White Flower and flew out, landing next to the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

"Prepare to meet your destined end, Durandal."

He spoke softly, and Shihen struck the girl's chest with a palm strike, unleashing a burst of power that sent the Valkyrie flying straight into the depths of space.

"How can it be!?"

As Durandal's figure arced through the air and disappeared into the distance, Mei's eyes widened in disbelief.

Having fought against Durandal in this form, she knew very well how much real value the title of the so-called strongest Valkyrie truly held.

But now, the opponent has been instantly killed by [Walter White] in one hit!?

"Mei! We have to get out of here right now!"

The boy's voice rang out urgently, and Apollo slightly raised his right hand, a line of dark red light shining from his palm, as if a star was about to be born there.

"Want to leave? It's too late now."

With a leisurely air, Shihen's figure flashed, almost becoming a blur, and the baseball bat in his hand was casually swung with immense force.

"Stop...!"

With her core operating at its limit, Mei gathered all her Honkai energy into the Seven Thunders of Purification and unleashed a powerful slash at the white-haired man.

boom--

A thunderous sound rang out, and a sharp blade of light, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth, burst forth, forcing Shihen to pause slightly.

"This is finally getting interesting, Raiden Mei."

With a light laugh, Shihen turned his body slightly, drawing a full arc with his baseball bat to meet the long sword.

bang——

In an instant, the blade and staff clashed, and the two immense energies collided and crushed each other, the terrifying aftershocks spreading and blowing away countless grains of red sand.

But this standoff lasted only a few seconds before the crimson blade was crushed by the baseball bat, and Mei's body was sent flying like a cannonball.

As her consciousness continued to sink into darkness, Mei used her last strength to look at the boy. Only when she saw that dark red light that seemed capable of tearing everything apart did she finally close her eyes with a smile.

And just as the girl fell into a coma, the light in the hands of the Apollo spacecraft slowly dissipated, quickly bringing the space back to calm.

With the audience gone, Shihen had no need to act anymore.

With a flap of his wings, he arrived beside the Heavenly Fire Judgment and the Black Abyss White Flower. Shihen's fingers gently stroked the two Divine Keys, feeling the completely different heat and tranquility emanating from them. With a slight smile, he called out, "Boss Kevin, isn't it time to show your face?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired man appeared silently. He frowned as he looked at the boy beside the two Divine Keys: "Who are you?"

Such a power should not exist in this era.

"Well... if I had to say, I'd say I'm your subordinate now."

The mask on his face disappeared, and the horns and wings quickly faded away. Shihen chose to be honest with Kevin.

He's my current boss, after all; I should give him some face.
