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

After downing the remaining half-cup of water in one gulp, Durandal suddenly crushed the cup into countless ice shards, then turned her head and walked towards the base.

There are still many powers to be explored in this Tianyuan form, and she can't wait to go to the training room to try it out.

Before she could take more than a few steps, the girl belatedly realized what she had said, and her neck and ears instantly turned bright red.

Swish!

A blur flashed by, and the golden-haired Valkyrie vanished from her spot, leaving only a few wisps of yellow sand flying around.

On the other side, after glancing at the girl's disappearing figure and then at the ice shards that quickly melted into water on the sand dunes, the corners of his mouth under the Time Mark mask curled up leisurely.

As one of only two people in the world to be considered a Heavenly Origin, he could not allow Durandal to be complacent in the slightest.

So let the girl maintain her momentum and drive, and give the heroes a little shock to modern civilization.

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

Underground base.

After seeing Durandal off, Siegfried was finally allowed to return to the cabin that belonged to him, Welt, and Ryoma.

Upon entering the room, the first thing that caught Siegfried's eye was Walter lying on the ground like a corpse.

"Lord Alliance Leader, you need to exercise more."

From now on, please stop obsessing over comics and come practice swordsmanship with me!

Beside him, Raiden Ryoma sat cross-legged, his fingers lightly brushing against his training katana, his face, slightly sweaty, filled with satisfaction.

Without Siegfried, that monster with the special attribute, causing trouble, he felt he was getting closer and closer to the legendary realm of a sword saint.

As he was thinking this, he saw the white-haired man finally return, and Raiden Ryoma's expression suddenly trembled.

But thinking of Mei, who was still outside and whose situation was unknown, Raiden Ryoma's expression quickly became firm again. He picked up his katana and said, "Siegfried, let's have another match!"

This time, I definitely won't lose again!

Although it's strange that the other person's arm grew back, we can deal with these things later.

The most important thing right now is to test my progress in swordsmanship.

Even though Siegfried's physical prowess was abnormal, most of the time their contests would end in his crushing defeat.

But how can a true swordsman fear a challenge?

After tormenting Walter for several days, he felt that he had become much stronger!

One day, he will be able to trample that bastard Siegfried underfoot and indirectly avenge Mei.

"..."

Without uttering a word, Siegfried picked up a training greatsword with an unusually enthusiastic attitude, and then...

Ten minutes later, Raiden Ryoma followed in Welt's footsteps and collapsed to the ground.

Even if Kaslana's bloodline is suppressed and she cannot enter that Honkai beast state, Siegfried's strength is far beyond what a weakling like Raiden Ryoma can compete with.

Although Raiden Ryoma can be considered a semi-scientist, it is clear that not every scientist can create their own cheat codes.

"Well done, Siegfried!"

Upon seeing this, Walter's expression immediately brightened.

When Siegfried was still alive, the other party would help him block every challenge from Raiden Ryoma.

These past few days... recalling the countless times he was utterly defeated by Raiden Ryoma's superb swordsmanship, Welt couldn't help but feel like crying.

He was just an ordinary Herrscher of Reason, without the powerful strength of others.

"Walter, you must have rested well by now, right?"

After defeating Raiden Ryoma, Siegfried didn't stop as usual. Instead, he turned his gaze to Welt, who had recovered. "Now, let's train together to build a strong body!"

Having met Durandal and knowing that one of his daughters was by his side, Siegfried felt it was time to pull himself together.

At the very least, he couldn't let his daughter down!

Walter: "..."

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Golden Silly Goose's Journey to Paradise

Swish!

After passing through a long, dark corridor almost devoid of any light, Durandal finally came into view of a magnificent, palace-like building that was resplendent in gold.

In a corner of the palace, which was decorated in a warm and cozy style like a lounge, a pink-haired girl, as beautiful as a flower in flight and as if a fairy from a fairy tale had stepped into reality, sat gracefully on the sofa, casting a gentle gaze full of smiles at the Valkyrie.

Upon seeing this scene, Durandal couldn't help but think to herself, "As expected," and her mind drifted back to something that happened before she stepped into this place.

…………

"Listen carefully, Durandal. The Land of the Dead is a monument painstakingly built by the previous civilization, recording the most precious and authentic memories of an era on the verge of extinction."

So whatever you see inside is perfectly normal and nothing to be surprised about.

The white-haired man, who had always been very secretive about the paradise of the past, suddenly spoke up and gave the girl some advice before she set off.

She saw [Walter White]... Well, the other person was still wearing a mask, so she couldn't actually see anything.

Are you underestimating me?!

Durandal said with some dissatisfaction.

She was once the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, and she had been to places like the Quantum Sea and the Imaginary Space, which are inaccessible to ordinary people. She had even made friends with aliens. This guy is underestimating himself too much.

"..."

Shihen glanced at the Valkyrie but seemed not to hear the girl's complaint and continued to explain, "When you first enter the Paradise of the Past, you will see a beautiful girl as radiant as a flying flower."

But remember, she's just a guide program called "Miss Pink Fairy." You need to give her your code name in the World Serpent to truly unlock Paradise with her help.

In a sense, memory is actually just a piece of program data, only the algorithm used is different from that of ordinary AI.

Therefore, he was not lying.

"Um... ah?"

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, Durandal's face instantly turned bright red with anger after realizing what the man had said. "Code name? You mean that kind of thing!?"

Those nonsensical words can be called code names?!

And when did she agree to use that kind of thing as her code name?!

"This is a tradition that snakes around the world have followed since ancient times."

Shihen said calmly, and then added, "I was no exception back then either."

If something is embarrassing to do, just bring along a friend.

"is it?"

Still somewhat doubtful, Durandal asked, her expression clearly much calmer, "Then what is your codename?"

She had been in the World Snake for some time now, and she had never heard anyone here call out another person's name.

Even other World Serpent executives address men with a mixture of respect and awe, calling them "Acting Lord."

"The white dove symbolizes someone who brings peace to the world."

Shihen said frankly.

Yulandel: "..."

The kind of peace that completely destroys the world?

Even if the man's plan includes reshaping the world, countless beautiful things and possibilities in this world will no longer exist.

Thinking of this, Durandal clenched her fist tightly, and after a long while, she slowly relaxed it and asked, "Then which code name should I use?"

She remembered that the man had mentioned two names.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Without offering any explanation, Shihen spoke in an extremely cold tone.

"white!?"

Yulandel was furious.

Anyway, I wish you good luck in there.

With a casual remark, Shihen summoned the passage to Paradise with a crack, adding, "And also, whatever you do, don't die in there, Durandal."

You are one of my most promising talents, but if you can't even pass this test, I'll be in a very difficult position.

"I'll make you confess everything."

With a resolute tone, Durandal stepped into the passageway without hesitation.

…………

Hi~ Hello!

The fairy-like, beautiful pink-haired girl smiled and spoke, her sweet voice bringing Durandal back to the present moment.

"Hello, um... Miss Pink Fairy?"

Nodding slightly, Durandal's face showed obvious hesitation, but after a long while, the girl still chose to follow the white-haired man's advice.

This is a bootloader, this is a bootloader...

As she kept reminding herself of this, Durandal's expression gradually returned to normal.

"uh-huh?"

Upon hearing this, Alicia raised an eyebrow.

Despite her seemingly clumsy and dull appearance, is this blonde girl actually such a frivolous type?

Seeing the change in the fairy's expression, Durandal became even more astonished by the advanced technology of the previous civilization.

At least, she had never seen such a realistic AI program in Destiny.

"Hmm... My name is the Golden Dodo, please help me open up Paradise!"

As she clenched her fist slightly and spoke the rest of her words in one breath, Durandal's cheeks flushed red.

Even though she knew this was the rule of the World Serpent, the girl's shame did not diminish in the slightest.

"A golden dodo?"

Alicia looked puzzled.

Do people in the outside world like to call others by these strange names?

The boy seemed perfectly normal when he arrived.

So, Bai really did choose the latter codename after all!?

Seeing the bewildered expression on the fairy's face, Durandal immediately became furious.

Although she didn't like either of the two codenames, Dodo was at least more normal than Dumb Goose.

The urge to beat someone up grew stronger, but Durandal still honestly gave another code name: "Or, should I be the Golden Dumb Goose?"

"Pfft~"

Finally unable to hold back her laughter, Alicia's delicate body swayed wildly. After a long while, she wiped away her tears and sighed helplessly, "Golden Dumbo Goose~ How could anyone give you such a name?"

"Forehead……"

Seeing the fairy's reaction, Durandal's heart sank. "Aren't you the guide program for this paradise, [Pink Fairy]?"

As an AI program, its behavior is far too strange.

What bootloader?

Pressing for an answer, Alicia frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in her expression. "Listen carefully, my name is Alicia, and I'm the second of the thirteen Fire Chasers in this Paradise of the Past!"

If you remember it wrong... hmm~

Ending with a final syllable, the girl uttered a cute, cat-like threat.

"..."

Her delicate body trembled and she froze, her mind racing as Durandal quickly grasped the situation. A surge of rage filled her chest. "That guy!!"
