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

If she continues to follow the other side, she will eventually be eliminated by Einstein and others who will gradually free up their resources.

She already knew the terrifying power of the Herrschers from those who participated in the last Schicksal War.

Conversely, if he and Einstein secretly opposed Walter White, the other party might not care about that.

Cocolia couldn't understand what was going on in Welt White's mind. He could just throw away the core of a Herrscher of Reason so easily, and he didn't care about the Herrscher of Thunder that he had painstakingly cultivated.

As for that so-called investigation... After being an anti-entropy enforcer for so many years, who wouldn't know how to fabricate evidence?

All we need to do is pin everything that's bad for us on Walter White... no, we don't even need to prepare enough evidence, just reduce her role in it a little, and that will be enough.

After all, it's impossible for Einstein and the others to confront Walter White.

So, isn't the truth ultimately up to her to decide?

And most importantly, she saved the boy from the brink of death!

With such a pledge of allegiance, plus the mecha army under her command, how could Einstein possibly turn his back on her?

As she thought about it, Cocolia became more and more certain.

"..."

Seeing the blonde woman suddenly become more candid, Shihen instinctively felt that she wanted him to take the blame.

This is simply unreasonable!

As the second leader of Anti-Entropy, he didn't even make Cocolia carry much... Well, in the matter of Raiden Ryoma, Cocolia was indeed tricked by him.

But isn't it normal for a leader to make subordinates take the blame?

Cocolia actually wants to turn around and smear him?!

Even if someone else can tolerate it, someone else can't!

"Ms. Cocolia, are you serious?"

The boy, still a teenager, asked doubtfully, his eyes filled with unbelievable joy.

“If this is the only way to dispel your doubts, then I am willing to accept any form of investigation.”

Cocolia sighed softly.

There was no other way; the world had now entered the Herrscher era, and she had to ensure that she also had Herrschers protecting her.

And clearly, the boy in front of her was the only one she could win over.

"In that case, I'll trust you one more time."

As if moved by Cocolia's sincerity, Shihen's expression immediately relaxed a bit. "But if I find out that you are lying, Ms. Cocolia, neither Mr. Walter nor I will forgive you!"

As he spoke, Shihen clenched his fist tightly, his still weak face revealing an iron-like determination.

Time will tell.

With a calm expression, Cocolia said without any panic, "Alright, your body has only just recovered and is not yet fully compatible with the two Herrscher cores. Go and rest now. Einstein and the others will arrive in the next few days."

Don't worry, you'll be very safe here.

As she spoke softly, Cocolia's expression softened considerably.

Putting aside her stance, she was still very willing to treat the boy as her own child.

After all, in terms of age, the other party was not much older than Bronya and the others, and was also an orphan.

"Then... thank you very much, Ms. Cocolia."

As the blonde woman gazed at him with tender eyes, Shihen's face softened with emotion, and his clenched fist slowly loosened.

"Everything is for the sake of reducing entropy and for this world."

Smiling, Cocolia reached out and pressed a button on the table.

This lounge is built to military base standards, and its soundproofing is excellent.

A short while later, the door to the lounge opened again, and a girl with long, light blonde hair walked in.

"Mother Cocolia."

The young girl greeted the blonde woman first.

“I still have some work to do later. Let Peggy take you to rest. You two already know each other.”

Cocolia chuckled and said, "If you're interested in Abyss City, Peggy can show you around here."

Unlike on land, some of the scenery can only be seen in Sea Abyss City.

"I will think about it."

Shihen nodded.

"Long time no see, Hen. You should still remember me, right?"

Peggy smiled brightly at the boy with whom she had recently had a long talk and asked softly, her expression showing no sign of stiffness.

Having spent many years in the anti-entropy community and interacted with all sorts of people, the young woman's acting skills have also improved significantly.

“Of course. I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way this time, Peggy.”

With a faint smile on his face, Shihen responded with equally superb acting skills.

Their eyes met, and the two did not linger in the lounge. After saying goodbye to Cocolia, they left immediately.

Watching the two figures walk away in harmony, a certain thought stirred within Cocolia once again.

But the next second, the image of a white-haired girl flashed through Cocolia's mind, and the flame that had just ignited in her heart was instantly extinguished.

What a pity...

Cocolia shook her head slightly and turned to walk towards her office.

She still had a lot to deal with in order to prepare for dealing with Einstein and others.

Chapter 76 Cocolia's Grand Surprise

"Within the City of the Abyss lies a facility called the Eye of the Abyss, which is the closest place to the Sea of ​​Quanta among the known areas of anti-entropy."

Over the Pacific Ocean, Einstein was introducing the group from the Far East branch.

After splitting up, Tesla, Himeko, and Mei headed to Changkong City, while Theresa and the others set off for Haiyuan City.

"The quantum sea?"

Theresa blinked, and her eyes shone with unparalleled wisdom.

"The quantum sea is the final destination of all things. Everything that exists in the imaginary or the real will eventually sink into the quantum sea and slowly dissolve its existence."

After giving Theresa a brief glance, and then glancing at Bronya and Wendy who seemed to understand something, Einstein continued, "Perhaps the Time Mark was originally destined to fall into the Sea of ​​Quanta, but it just happened to be captured by Cocolia."

Similar to the Science Department under Cocolia's command, this was the most reasonable explanation she could think of.

"what?"

Theresa's expression remained wise.

"for example."

With a slight sigh, Einstein paused for a moment before continuing, "If we compare our world to a small island, then the Eye of the Abyss is the largest estuary of the island's rivers."

"understood!"

With a sudden clap of her hands, Theresa realized what was going on.

Einstein: “…”

If you still don't understand, I'm really going to start questioning my existence.

"Doctor, are you sure that the only signal coming from Sea Abyss City is from the Tranquility Gem?"

Bronya's expression darkened slightly as she asked a question.

Normally, the boy should also have a disease gem on him.

“I understand what you mean, Bronya.”

But for now, we have only found the location of the Tranquility Gem.

Nodding slightly, Einstein's expression relaxed a few pixels, "In a sense, this should be considered a good thing."

While the power of the Plague Gem is immense, it also inflicts the most damage on the user's body.

The Tranquility Gem originates from the authority of the Herrscher of Death and grants the user extraordinary self-healing abilities.

not to mention……"

At this point, Einstein paused slightly and did not continue explaining.

"Not to mention what?"

Theresa, whose curiosity had been piqued, couldn't help but ask further questions.

"It's nothing, it's just a preliminary guess, let's talk about it later."

Einstein shook his head.

To date, only one Herrscher of the Void has been able to contain multiple Herrscher cores within her body, remain unaffected by the Honkai's influence and succumb to madness, and maintain her sanity.

Although Anti-Entropy possessed the Herrscher of Reason and the Gem of Conquest for a long time, Einstein did not dare to conduct any high-risk experiments due to Welt Young's poor physical condition.

Therefore, the only thing she knows now is that the physical burden on a multi-core Herrscher is far greater than that on a single-core Herrscher.

But for more details... we'll have to wait and see the data on Kiana.

That's why keeping only one Tranquil Gem is a really good thing for the boy.

Only in this way can the opponent recover from the damage caused by the Plague Gem with the highest probability.

If the other party possesses a Plague Gem... then even if the boy has a natural holy mark, they would probably only get a clean Plague Gem.

The flames of the Herrscher of Flame leave not even a trace of ash behind.

bang——

While the people on the ship were talking, the Hyperion quickly sank into the sea, and an energy shield automatically opened to isolate the seawater.

"Are we just going to walk straight into Cocolia's territory like this?"

Gazing at the rapidly darkening seawater outside the porthole, Wendy frowned slightly and asked.

Having realized how bad the relationship was between the anti-entropy conservatives and radicals, she was somewhat worried about this action.

Having lost the Gem of Desire, she is no longer the Herrscher of Wind who could wipe out countless Honkai Beasts with a flick of her finger.

Now, she is just a weak mortal, only able to fight against Bronya and Seele together, and even annihilating an Emperor-class Honkai Beast requires almost all her strength.

"Hmm. Although I don't know why, Cocolia seems to be very welcoming of our visit, and even said she has a surprise for us."

Einstein nodded.

"Ha! I hope it's not a shock!"

Theresa frowned slightly.

Although she wasn't involved with Anti-Entropy and didn't know much about Cocolia, she had absolutely no liking for this extreme Anti-Entropy enforcer.

Even disregarding the various conflicts that occurred between the other party and the Far East branch after she took over ME, the boy and the others were essentially forced into this situation by Cocolia.

But then Theresa noticed Seele's embarrassed expression and quickly smiled and said, "Seele, you don't need to worry too much."

If things go smoothly, we shouldn't have to clash with Cocolia.

The core of the Herrscher of Reason is suspected to be related to [Walter White], but we still need to consider it carefully so as not to give the other party an excuse to lash out.

Even though Walter White never seemed to have ever made any sense.

No matter what, they could never give up on the boy.

Once Cocolia understands their firm resolve to bring the boy back, she shouldn't make things too difficult for them; at most, she'll just seek some exchange of benefits.

So overall, there shouldn't be too much of a problem taking the boy back from Cocolia.

"Headmaster, you don't need to worry too much about me and Bronya."

If Cocolia's mother continues down this wrong path, Bronya and I will resolutely stop her.

With a fist clenched in front of her chest, Seele spoke in a soft yet firm tone.
