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

Wielding a dark blue short sword, Bronya slashed at a quantum shadow shaped like a jellyfish, only to see it quickly transform into a crab. Bronya gritted her teeth, her expression becoming more serious.

Having participated in dozens of battles, large and small, she had never seen a Honkai Beast that could transform at will.

Moreover, it wasn't just a change in shape; the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand, which had been invincible in the past, seemed to have become dull, greatly reducing the damage it caused to these Honkai Beasts.

"It's likely that these Honkai Beasts aren't solely composed of Honkai energy."

Theresa glanced at the Quantum Shadow, which was still lively and energetic even under Judas's suppression, and guessed with a slight frown.

As a key of the gods created from the core of the Herrscher of the Binding of a previous civilization, Judah should possess a powerful suppressive effect against any form of Honkai energy.

But this suppressive force seemed to disappear on the Quantum Shadow.

"What should we do now, Principal?"

While summoning the Heavy Bunny as a supplement to firepower, Seele asked with a worried expression.

Without having been tempered by the Sea of ​​Quanta, the girl had no good way to deal with these quantum shadows.

This is a matter of strength attribute advantage.

"..."

Upon hearing Seele's words, Theresa bit her lip, a look of hesitation on her face.

But as her gaze swept over the ever-increasing number of quantum shadows surging from the Sea of ​​Quanta, and the large number of Honkai Beasts continuously arriving from outside Abyss City, Theresa's hesitation quickly vanished, leaving only determination.

Given the current situation, her current strength is no longer sufficient.

If Wendy's Gem of Desire hadn't been taken away, or if the boy hadn't been captured by Welt White, then these Honkai Beasts and Quantum Shadows wouldn't have been such a big problem.

But... reality doesn't offer "what ifs".

Therefore, all they can rely on right now is themselves!

"Bronya, Seele, stay away from me later!"

"Speaking in a deep voice," Theresa said, without waiting for their reply, before she lunged forward, carrying Judah into the countless quantum shadows.

"Headmaster!"

Unable to contain herself, Seele shouted loudly, but could only watch helplessly as Theresa's petite body was instantly swallowed up by the quantum shadow, and then...

A terrifying burst of blood-red light erupted from it.

Swish!

As if suddenly given life, the blade-shaped armor plates of Theresa's Blood Knight armor spun and twirled with the girl's movements, easily slicing through the quantum shadows. The dark brown Honkai Beast fluid splashed onto the armor but quickly disappeared, as if it had been devoured by some indescribable monster.

[Blood Knight Moonbeam, restrictions lifted!]

Upon hearing the belated notification sound, Theresa's lips curled into a cold smile.

Not long ago, when she asked Einstein to check whether Otto had installed a backdoor program on the Blood Knight armor, she unexpectedly discovered a restriction program on the armor.

According to the tests, the main purpose of this procedure was to suppress the activity of Vishnu factors in her body.

Once released, the rapidly activated Vishnu factor grants her power far exceeding that of her normal state.

At the same time, it also made her no longer like a human being.

"This doesn't seem like such a big deal..."

Theresa smiled and said, her small mouth slightly open as she breathed heavily.

His blood was burning hot, as if it were about to boil, and an indescribable restlessness and thirst suddenly rose in his heart, quickly turning into a pure destructive urge.

Feeling an unprecedented lightness in her body, Theresa, holding a golden spear in each hand, charged into the densest part of the quantum shadows.

In an instant, the golden spear and chains, guided by a touch of crimson, danced and tore apart countless quantum shadows as easily as slicing melons and vegetables.

Even though the Quantum Shadows have excellent resistance to the forces of the non-Quantum Sea, in the face of an absolute power difference, this resistance cannot allow them to last even a second longer.

Therefore, even though there was a continuous stream of Honkai Beasts and Quantum Shadows joining the battlefield from both inside and outside Abyss City, the number of enemies in Bronya and the others' field of vision was decreasing at a visible rate.

Finally, when the number of Honkai Beasts decreased to a certain extent, Theresa, whose eyes had turned completely blood red, fixed her gaze on the only two powerful creatures on the field.

"Gu..."

Stared at by the nun's brutal, beast-like gaze, Bronya instinctively held her short sword horizontally in front of her.

But just when the girl thought a battle was inevitable, Theresa suddenly shook her head, covered her forehead with one hand, and fell to the ground.

boom--

On the other side, six thick, blue-purple beams of light, as thick as buckets, shot out from the building next to the Eye of the Abyss, landing on the gate to the Sea of ​​Quanta and stopping its expansion. The gate then began to shrink rapidly at a visible speed.

Noticing the change as well, Theresa immediately struggled to her feet and tried her best to walk toward the edge of the platform.

To rescue the boy from Walter White, someone must accompany him into the Sea of ​​Quanta.

As the headmistress of St. Freya Academy and the leader of the Far East branch, Theresa never intended to entrust this task to Bronya and the others.

She'll take on this danger...

While she was still in a state of dizziness from excessive excitement, Theresa saw a gray figure quickly pass by her and jump into the abyss.

"Bronya!"

She immediately regained some clarity and couldn't help but shout out.

"Bronya will bring Captain Hen back."

Bronya simply turned her head and gave the nun a smile before her body rapidly plummeted into the purplish-red vortex.

"Bronya! Come back! That's not something you should be doing!"

She shouted, but Theresa could only watch helplessly as the girl's body vanished in an instant.

But before she could feel sorry for Bronya's actions, the nun caught a glimpse of a blue figure leaping down as well.

"Oh dear, my older sister really loves to show off. She always makes Xier worry so much."

So this time, let Seele show off her skills too.

The blue figure vanished in an instant, leaving only a sighing murmur in the air.

Then, the gates to the Sea of ​​Quanta closed completely.

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

Meanwhile, deep within the quantum sea.

Walking alone in this vast and desolate ocean, watching the faint lights floating like stars in the distance, Shihen would occasionally have small specks of light peel off his body, forming a shimmering silver corridor behind him.

Now that the actors have entered the arena, he naturally has to prepare a grand stage to match Bronya and the others.

At the very least, he had to let these girls linger in the World Bubble for a while longer so as not to disturb his offline meeting with Boss Kevin.

Once Bronya and Seele overcome the numerous obstacles he has set up, they will naturally be able to welcome him back to succeed him as the leader of Anti-Entropy.

So this was a perfect win-win situation; everyone got the result they wanted.

As for Cocolia... it's alright. She only lost the right to live in society, but gained a mother's monument!

After this incident, even Tesla was able to visit the other party's grave and lay a few bouquets of flowers.

As he pondered this, Shihen paused slightly in front of a gigantic snake shadow that resembled a small mountain, pulled out a bucket of braised beef noodles from his pocket, and smiled, saying, "Boss Kevin, want a bucket?"

Chapter Eighty: The Boy and the Ancestor Meet in the Sea

In the blink of an eye, the huge serpentine shadow shrank rapidly and transformed into the appearance of a white-haired youth, with a pink cherry blossom in full bloom beside him.

Kevin stared intently at the boy who had finally arrived, remaining silent for a long time, his blue eyes as cold and emotionless as an iceberg.

Even with Kevin staring intently at him, Shi Hen showed no sign of discomfort. He lightly stepped forward and appeared in front of Kevin, while a set of ice-formed tables and chairs automatically materialized.

Pulling over a chair and sitting down, Shihen skillfully opened the instant noodles, added the seasoning, and a chunk of ice appeared on top, quickly melting into hot water that fell into the bucket.

Anything constructed using the power of the Herald of Reason will completely dissipate once it loses the support of Honkai energy. Therefore, the instant noodles brought by the Time Mark are a genuine industrial product.

Similarly, the ice cubes used for instant noodles are also a product of Parvati's power.

As for whether the Sea of ​​Quanta actually contains water molecules... Honkai energy is omnipotent and can explain anything.

Everything was for the sake of ensuring that Ancestor Kevin had a full meal... Well, a bucket of instant noodles was obviously not enough for Ancestor Kevin, but as long as the formality was there, Shihen didn't care whether the other party was actually full or not.

At worst, he can just treat Kevin to a meal after he returns to reality.

Yeah, the kind where Durandal cooks.

He believed the other person would be very happy to be able to eat this level of cuisine.

Even if the kitchen explodes again, Jackal still has plenty of research funding he can skimp on.

Kevin sat down on another chair and patiently watched the boy's series of actions before speaking, "Explain why you're here."

Although he knew those conversational techniques to stall for time, he always preferred to be straightforward.

Upon hearing this, Shihen raised an eyebrow slightly, but unusually chose to be honest: "I once went to the Paradise of Past Lives. When I was about to leave, Kevin there asked me a question—why can birds fly?"

So, I've come to tell you the answer, Kevin.

Compared to Otto, who was solely focused on reviving Kallen and would sacrifice the entire world without hesitation, Kevin is a true hero.

Strength, dignity, reputation... Kevin is willing to sacrifice everything he has for the grandest goal of "saving the world".

Even a young man who always aspires to be a behind-the-scenes boss knows how to respect such a hero.

"I am looking forward."

Upon hearing the boy's reply, Kevin nodded slightly, his tone remaining completely calm.

Shi Hen: “…”

He felt that the old ancestor's attitude was somewhat perfunctory.

On the impact of imprisonment on a person's mental state?

Not paying any attention to that, Shihen smiled and said, "If birds have already learned to fly, what are you planning to do, Boss Kevin?"

"..."

Looking at the smiling boy in front of him, Kevin paused slightly before speaking, "A year and a half ago, Sue once passed me a message."

In that infinite future, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, there is a newly emerging variable that will end all possibilities in the world.

"So, Boss Kevin thinks I'm just a world destroyer passing by?"

Shihen's lips twitched involuntarily.

"I do not know."

Kevin said calmly.

Shihen: "???"

"What the Second Divine Key can observe is ultimately only a possibility, but there is only one reality."

With a calm, expressionless face, Kevin explained, "Moreover, Sue also said at the end that he, too, couldn't judge whether this matter was good or bad."

"That's truly flattering."

With a soft sigh, Shihen pushed the instant noodles in front of him toward Kevin, "Kevin, eat them while they're hot, otherwise they'll get soggy and won't taste good."

Kevin: "..."

He felt that this guy's mind was a little off, like... a certain noisy pink fairy.

In a daze, he seemed to understand why the boy in front of him had gained Alicia's approval.

"Thank you."

He said very politely, and Kevin picked up his fork and started slurping his noodles without much hesitation.

Suddenly, a hissing sound rang out from the depths of the quantum sea, which should have been deathly silent.

Watching Kevin slurp up his instant noodles with a sullen, cat-like face, Shihen smiled slightly and said, "In our time, this should be considered the most common convenience food. What do you think, Kevin?"

"tasty."

With a brief comment, Kevin finished the soup in one gulp, his lips curving upwards by about two pixels.

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Boss Kevin."

However, now that the foreplay is over, let's get down to business and not keep the others waiting.
