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

"Hmm? What's wrong, Golden Dudu Goose?"

Noticing the blonde girl's mood, Alicia asked with concern.

"My name is Durandal!"

"Correct me carefully," Durandal said, having exerted tremendous effort to suppress her inner rage, though the guilt on her chest still heaved violently.

"Yulandel?"

"Isn't this a nice name?"

Alicia smiled and praised, her blue eyes then shifting slightly with amusement, "And what about that golden goose?"

This was the first time she had ever heard such an interesting name.

"Well……"

Meeting the pink fairy's gentle gaze, Durandal hesitated for a moment, but after thinking for a while, she chose to tell the whole story, "It's like this..."

Before long, after hearing Durandal's story, Alicia laughed even more brightly: "Pfft haha~"

What on earth is that guy doing? How could he treat a girl like that?!

Despite saying things like she was standing up for the wronged, Alicia's laughter never stopped.

"Alicia!"

Durandal said with some dissatisfaction.

"Haha~ Sorry, this is just too funny~"

Laughing and pleading for mercy, Alicia clutched her stomach, looking like she was about to burst out laughing, "At least, 'Golden Slowpoke' is quite fitting, doesn't it, Durandal?"

This blonde girl is incredibly naive to believe such nonsense.

"I don't think that's accurate at all!"

With a composed expression, Durandal said, a burning desire to kill someone ignited in her eyes, "That guy, I will definitely not let him go!"

She trusted him so much, but the result...

The pink fairy's unrestrained laughter still seemed to echo in her ears, and Durandal wished she could dig a hole and disappear right then and there.

"Alright, stop thinking about that jerk. Let's do something more fun and interesting together!"

Finally, the laughter subsided, and Alicia smiled slightly, taking the blonde girl's hand as if inviting her to dance, and guiding her towards the portal to paradise.

"Eh??"

The thought of resistance had barely arisen in her mind when Durandal felt her body uncontrollably crash into a doorway, and a brand new world slowly unfolded before her eyes.

Chapter Sixty-Six: The White-Haired Dumpling's Solo Growth

boom!

In the town swept by yellow sand, a group of pale white giants with red stripes suddenly jumped out, destroying houses and killing residents, as if they were born to destroy everything.

Faced with these monsters, each over five meters tall and capable of easily knocking down and collapsing a house, the powerless people could only desperately flee, hoping to get as far away from these monsters as possible.

Boom——

As the giant beast ran, a family of three was about to perish under its claws. The young parents, who looked no more than thirty years old, could only cover their child's eyes and hold him tightly to make the impending death seem less terrifying.

boom!

A gunshot suddenly rang out, and the tank-class Honkai Beast, which had raised its towering, pillar-like arms, fell to the ground, raising dust that engulfed the bewildered ordinary family.

"If there's nothing else, hurry up and run north. Your team is over there."

Amidst the sandstorm, the young parents only heard a girl's voice.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they only saw a blurry figure completely shrouded in a gray cloak, with only a wisp of pure white hair, like a cloud, flowing out from the collar.

"Thanks……"

Before they could even express their gratitude, they saw the girl's figure flash by, and then a series of gunshots and loud roars of beasts echoed throughout the rest of the town.

Can a pistol really stand a chance against this monster?

The young parents couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

You see, they witnessed firsthand how even people wielding machine guns were helpless against these monsters, unable to harm them in the slightest.

"Roar~~"

The faint roars of beasts could be heard again. Without thinking, the young parents quickly picked up their child and fled north.

…………

"Whoo~"

After eliminating most of the Honkai Beasts in the town, Kiana breathed a long sigh of relief. "Now the residents here are safe."

As she spoke, the girl looked up at the few floating warships that had begun to appear in the sky, and then her figure disappeared into the vast yellow sand with a few leaps.

Although she would fight against the Honkai Beasts, she did not want to confront the Valkyries of Schicksal at this moment.

Otherwise, who knows whether those guys will choose to fight the Honkai first, or disregard the lives of the people and take down this Herrscher first?

She had long since lost much trust in the Valkyrie of Destiny.

After all, it was Durandal, who was hailed as the epitome of all Valkyries, who abducted her from St. Freya!

In the chaotic battle that took place at Schicksal headquarters, the opposing side also chose to stand with Otto, hindering the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy from fighting against the Honkai.

"Ha! How foolish, Kiana."

Humans are clearly a greedy and hateful bunch, so why would you risk your life to fight for them?

Or perhaps you actually believed that fox-woman's lies and thought that the human monkey really had a chance of surviving?

As if sensing the resentment in the girl's heart, a haughty voice suddenly rang out, "Hahaha, stop daydreaming here."

I personally pierced that human monkey's heart with the Spear of the Void.

I can assure you, that human-monkey has absolutely no chance of surviving!

As she spoke, Xilin laughed with immense pride.

Although for various reasons she couldn't remember exactly where she had stabbed the boy, all she needed to know was that Kiana wouldn't know either, and that was enough.

"shut up!"

Kiana covered her forehead to ease the pain radiating from the depths of her mind, and cursed angrily.

Even though the Herrscher of the Void's power was greatly weakened due to the Seal of Tranquility being stripped away by the boy, it was now virtually impossible for her to compete with her for control of the body.

However, as the effects of the gem's removal gradually subsided, the Herrscher of the Void slowly regained her power, and was at least able to have a fairly good conversation with her.

"What, you can't even handle this?"

Sensing Kiana's anger, Sirin burst into laughter, "That human monkey is just the beginning. Raiden Mei, Bronya, Seele... I will kill them all one by one sooner or later, and make you taste the bitterness of losing everything!"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Kiana's expression instantly turned ferocious, but quickly softened. "What? You can remember Mei and the others' names perfectly well, can't you?"

So, you're just that jealous of me? Jealous that so many people like me?

As she spoke, Kiana's lips curled into a smug smile.

Alone, aside from fighting the Honkai and training her strength, she spent most of her time thinking and reflecting.

In this state of contemplation, she also noticed many things that she had previously overlooked.

For example, the nightmarish cycle of countless reincarnations she experienced before being captured by Durandal and others.

Although I didn't understand what those things meant at the time, now that I think about it, they undoubtedly belong to Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void's past.

Recalling everything she had seen in those countless reincarnations, Kiana gradually began to speculate on the Herrscher of the Void's thoughts.

"Who, who's jealous of you!"

"I am the Queen of Honkai! Destroying everything is my duty, it just so happens that you're the closest to me!"

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Celine immediately started yelling.

Even if she truly resented Kiana for having everything she couldn't have, she would never admit it to such an idiot.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about the benefits of scars."

Upon hearing this, Kiana smiled even more broadly.

"He's dead! That human monkey is dead!"

Xilin emphasized, her tone now tinged with exasperation.

"You know, the first time I met Hen was on a sunny afternoon."

Unaffected by the Herrscher of the Void's words, Kiana smiled and spoke slowly, her blue eyes overflowing with honey-like tenderness, "Back then, he..."

As she spoke, feeling the Herrscher of the Void instantly quiet down in her mind, Kiana touched the Star of Eden in her arms but did not stop there. Instead, she recounted her memories with the boy with even more care.

The boy may very well be dead, and Yae Sakura may very well be deceiving herself... Kiana had certainly considered this possibility as well.

But recalling the boy's gentle smile and seeing the serene light emanating from the Star of Eden beside her, Kiana's heart was once again filled with the strength to continue moving forward.

In the battle against the Herrscher of the Void, what were the boy's true feelings as he burned himself to save her, an imposter?

Kiana pondered the question for a long time, but she still couldn't come up with an answer.

But one thing is absolutely clear.

Even if there's only a one in a thousand or one in ten thousand chance, she will do her best to try and meet the boy again.

She never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness again—being suppressed by the Herrscher of the Void, unable to do anything, and forced to watch helplessly as the boy drifted further and further away.

Besides, I'm already rushing towards you with all my might, so I'm sure you'll try your best to hold on a little longer, Hen?

Silently asking herself, Kiana hugged the Star of Eden tightly and continued walking forward.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Fu Hua's Resurrection Match Victory

Swah——

A streak of blue-purple lightning with hints of crimson flashed across the sky, followed by countless bolts of lightning roaring like giant dragons as they swooped down from the heavens, completely engulfing the white beast horde that had invaded and wreaked havoc in the city.

Amidst this light, which was even more intense than the sun, the thunderous roar finally arrived, echoing endlessly like a stirring war drum.

After a long while, the lightning subsided, and a girl dressed in armor that was red on top and black on the bottom, like a samurai, appeared in the air. Bright arcs of electricity occasionally danced on her cascading black hair, which moved without wind.

Standing proudly beneath the sky like a god, Mei opened her majestic purple eyes and swept them across the ground. However, upon seeing a certain scene, her expression changed slightly, and her figure instantly transformed into lightning and vanished.

On the ground, a little girl, seemingly separated from her family, was huddled in a corner, clutching her head tightly with both hands as she crouched down, her body still trembling uncontrollably, clearly terrified.

After all, just a dozen meters away from the girl, a calf-sized, rushing-class Honkai Beast flapped its wings and swooped down towards her.

Given the speed and destructive power of the Honkai Beasts, they could tear this unarmed human girl to pieces in less than a second.

But before all this could happen, a bolt of lightning flashed past, engulfing the Honkai Beast's body and turning it into countless ashes.

"Whoo~"

Mei gently exhaled and sheathed the Seven Thunders of Purification. She turned to the little girl, who still had wide eyes and looked like she hadn't reacted yet. "Are you alright, little one?"

As she spoke, Mei extended her hand to the girl, her smile incredibly gentle.

But faced with Mei's gentle smile, the girl, who had just escaped danger, had her pupils dilate in shock, and the fear on her face only intensified. At the same time, she shrank back and shouted with all her might, "Mom!!"

Seeing the fear in the girl's eyes that was even greater than when facing a Honkai Beast, Mei's hand, which was about to touch the girl, stopped in mid-air.

Swish!

A figure suddenly flashed by; it was a woman of about thirty years old who rushed over and hugged the girl.

"Don't be afraid, little one, Mommy's here!"

While gently patting the girl's back to comfort her, the woman looked at Mei and said, "Um... thank you, thank you for saving my child."

Speaking in a trembling voice, the woman's eyes revealed obvious fear.

Knowing perfectly well why the two were behaving this way, Mei's smile remained as gentle as ever.

"You guys should hurry and rejoin the others; it's still very dangerous here."
