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

Anyway, no matter how much he knew, Kevin had no one to confide in.

Well, although he himself is still imprisoned in the Sea of ​​Quanta, he and Durandal and others have almost turned the Stigmata Space upside down, so what appears here now is Kevin's own consciousness, not the Stigmata Will of Kaslana.

Kevin: "..."

He's just been lying in the Sea of ​​Quanta for over a thousand years, and his brain hasn't gone bad yet.

A complete stranger whose strength was no less than his own... He had no recollection of ever having such a subordinate.

"In short, that's how it is."

You can call me by my given name, Shihen, or by my code name in the World Serpent, "White Dove." Boss Kevin, whatever makes you happy.

Of course, if there are outsiders present, it would be better to call me by my code name.

Shihen conjured a white crystal flower and tossed it to Kevin, explaining with a smile.

"..."

Looking down at the familiar crystal flower in his hand, Kevin couldn't help but drift into memories. After a long while, he nodded gently, "I understand."

Although he didn't understand what had happened, he believed in the crystal flower.

"After some time, I'll go to the Sea of ​​Quanta to visit you, Boss."

As for now... I'll leave that blonde girl to you.

Surely, boss, you know what you can and cannot say.

As he spoke, Shihen controlled the Apollo mech to open, allowing his Soul Steel body to emerge from it before taking the Plague Gem and stepping inside.

To die realistically enough, a body made of Soul Steel alone is far from sufficient.

It's only reliable if he plays himself.

Moreover, wouldn't his sacrifice seem meaningless if there weren't many viewers?

After doing a series of sit-ups, he's destined to become the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, so this sacrifice must be carefully overseen by Einstein and others.

Yes, without a doubt, the main reason why Shihen went to such great lengths to trick everyone into coming to this Sacred Mark space was to change their accounts.

As for the rest, it's just a matter of leveling up Durandal and returning the Heavenly Judgment to her.

Kiana once said that she wanted to take back the Judgment of Heavenly Fire from Welt White.

As the girl's only best friend, Shihen would naturally fulfill her small wish.

He keeps his word; that's his way of being a boss... no, I mean, his way of being a boss.

"..."

Kevin watched silently as the boy pulled off a series of outrageous moves, and he fell silent as well.

This guy doesn't seem like a good person at all...

But since Alicia already trusts the boy, she should give him a little more trust in return.

Looking at the two Divine Keys still standing in place, Kevin nodded slightly.

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Appearance of the Sun Rising

In the real world, the headquarters of Destiny, the floating island... ruins.

Well, due to the clash between someone and Fu Hua, Schicksal has forever lost a floating island, so this place should naturally be called the wreckage.

hum-

A dark red portal suddenly opened in the air, its shape as irregular as if it had been smashed into glass with a baseball bat, and its stability was completely incomparable to the wormhole created by the Herrscher of the Void.

But for Theresa and the others who had been waiting for a long time, there was nothing more exciting than the appearance of this dark red portal.

Because what emerged from that portal was a red mech that looked incredibly familiar, and it was carrying a black-haired girl that looked equally familiar.

"hour……"

Before she could utter her joyful words, Theresa's expression changed drastically when she saw the white-haired man slowly emerging from the doorway.

"It was just a little trick; do you think you can escape?"

Speaking in a nonchalant tone, the white-haired man glanced disdainfully at the surrounding floating warships, his gaze finally settling on the red mech fleeing in disarray, a white baseball bat in his hand already poised to strike.

But before the man could actually take any action, a white beam of light, several meters thick, descended first.

Amidst the dazzling white light, a large amount of Honkai energy flowed from the man's body, transforming into light and heat that continuously radiated outwards.

In an instant, the man's originally fierce and terrifying aura rapidly dissipated, and even the white mask on his face seemed to ripple as if it would melt away at any moment.

But soon, just as the man's aura dropped below that of an ordinary Herrscher, the incredibly bright white beam of light shrank and went out.

"Hehehe~ The Moon Throne, what an interesting thing!"

Looking at a silver-white warship that had arrived late, the white-haired man covered his mask with one hand and chuckled softly, "Since that's the case, I'll let you go this time. We'll have some more fun next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man vanished, leaving only a white portal that disappeared in an instant.

On the Helios, watching the white door that appeared for less than a second, Theresa and the others looked extremely solemn, showing no joy whatsoever at having repelled [Walter White].

Unbeknownst to everyone, [Walter White] has already mastered the power related to space!?

"Hey Theresa, I think I arrived just in time, right?"

As if noticing the somber atmosphere on the Helios, Himeko's cheerful laughter rang out over the communication channel.

The renovation of the Moon Throne was so time-consuming that the Hyperion only just arrived at the battlefield.

Seeing that Shihen and the others were in danger, Himeko did not hesitate to use the Moon Throne, which could only be used once in a short time, in order to barely force Welt White to retreat.

"No, Himeko-sensei, I should say you've come at just the right time."

With a wry smile, Shihen piloted the Apollo to land on the deck of the Hyperion.

Bang!

The moment the mech made contact with the warship's deck, the badly damaged Apollo lost its balance and fell to the ground, nearly throwing Mei, whom it was holding, out of its arms.

Seeing this from the camera feed from the Hyperion, Theresa became anxious: "Shihen! How are you? How is Mei? Where are the others?"

Faced with Theresa's barrage of questions, Shihen simply sighed and said, "Headmaster, we can talk about explanations later. Let's retreat first."

This place is far from safe enough…

After all, with Durandal's disappearance, Welt White's retreat, and Raiden Mei's coma... with so many buffs stacked together, a certain queen who escaped the Stigmata Space first would surely feel that she was destined for greatness.

In this situation, if the other party could still give up these two readily available Herrscher Cores... then the Herrscher of the Void wouldn't be called the Pufferfish Herrscher.

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

Moments later, in the Hyperion medical ward.

Looking at the beautiful face of the black-haired girl on the hospital bed, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, Shi Hen's expression was solemn and he was not at all relaxed.

Boom!

A knock sounded, and the ward door opened, revealing the Konkai Group inside.

After a period of aimless wandering, Bronya and Seele safely boarded the ship that was leaving Schicksal headquarters.

"Captain Hen."

Seele said timidly.

Even if she looks like someone from the movie next door, the softness that is almost etched into the depths of a girl's soul cannot be changed overnight.

"It's Seele and Bronya."

As if he had just noticed the two of them, Shihen looked up, his face showing undisguised disappointment and dejection.

To be fair, although they safely withdrew from the Schicksal headquarters this time, they failed to complete any of their combat objectives, and the Herrscher of the Void is still at large using Kiana's body.

"Captain Hen, we will definitely be able to bring that idiot Kiana back."

With her head tilted slightly back, Bronya spoke firmly, her usually expressionless face now showing a clear seriousness.

"Well, we certainly will."

Upon hearing the girl's words, Shi Hen was slightly taken aback, but then a smile appeared on his face. "I assure you."

As he added, a flame-like light shone in the boy's eyes.

Bronya blinked, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something, but the next second...

Beep beep——

This is the alarm sounding for the Hyperion to enter combat status.

After allowing the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy to leave Schicksal headquarters and confirming that Welt White had indeed retreated, the Herrscher of the Void finally couldn't hold back any longer and took action.

With a hint of helplessness in his smile, Shihen took out a dull red bracelet from his pocket, stroked it a few times, and then gently placed it next to Mei's pillow.

This is a positioning bracelet that matches the Apollo mech. Although it has been damaged in battle and lost its function, its appearance alone is enough to make it a rather exquisite work of art.

Praise Dr. Tesla's taste.

"Captain Hen?"

Somewhat surprised by the boy's actions, Seele couldn't help but ask.

Shaking his head without explanation, Shihen got up and walked outside. He paused slightly as he passed Bronya and Seele, reached out and patted their heads with a smile, saying, "You've both grown up a lot without me even realizing it."

Having said that, without paying any attention to the even more surprised expression on Xi'er's face, Shihen left the medical room without hesitation.

In the corridor, as if she had a premonition, Himeko was already leaning against the wall waiting.

"Kid, you must have missed something in your story, right?"

With her gaze fixed on the boy, Himeko leaned slightly forward and spoke in an almost interrogative tone, her two trembling breasts particularly eye-catching.

Meeting the red-haired Valkyrie's sharp gaze, Shihen shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Teacher Himeko is still so perceptive."

Well, although Shihen revealed everything that happened in the Stigmata Space to Theresa and the others from Mei's perspective, he did not actively mention anything related to the Plague Gem.

After all, if he really said that, Theresa and the others would definitely try to stop him from sacrificing himself.

Having decided to shoulder everything, Shihen didn't want to waste the little time he had left trying to persuade Theresa and the others.

Only a sudden and abrupt farewell can elevate his image to its highest level.

However, this would create a flaw—why would [Walter White] bring him into the Stigmata Space as well?

Theresa, who possessed the wisdom inherited from Kaslana, failed to see through this, but Himeko had already sensed something.

"It seems you've made your decision."

Seeing this, Himeko couldn't help but sigh.

"I will bring Kiana back."

Shihen said in an extremely serious tone.

"What about yourself?"

Himeko immediately retorted.

Shihen simply smiled and walked past the red-haired Valkyrie.

Snapped!

Grabbing the boy's wrist abruptly, Himeko hissed, "Do you think I'd let my student go to his death?!"

As she spoke, Himeko's mature and beautiful face became somewhat ferocious due to excessive force.

With a flick of his wrist, he escaped the red-haired Valkyrie's grasp. Without turning back, Shihen continued forward, asking, "Himeko-sensei, have you ever seen what the sun looks like when it rises?"

"What the hell..."

She instinctively said, and just as Himeko was about to chase after her to refute, a burst of flame suddenly shot up and stopped the Valkyrie's steps.

Separated by a layer of raging flames that seemed to ignite only the air, Himeko could only stare blankly as the boy's figure continued to recede into the distance.

"Himeko-sensei, I've met Sakura-san before."

So... please try your best to live a few more years.

Principal Theresa will need you, and Kiana and the others will need you too.

As the boy's figure disappeared, only a gentle voice remained.
