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

Feeling her consciousness rapidly heating up, as if even the ability to think was about to evaporate, Sirin frantically hid deeper into Kiana's consciousness, no longer daring to peek out even a little.

"..."

After taking a closer look at the white fur ball whose expression kept changing, Shihen couldn't help but start to wonder if he hadn't put enough pressure on it.

You haven't fully mastered the power of the Herrscher of Flame, Sirin is only temporarily sealed and not completely conquered, and the problem of the Gem of Desire hasn't been solved yet... With so many things piled up, you still want to start a chaotic battle?

On the other side, unaware that she had just narrowly escaped someone's evil plan, Kiana paused slightly before speaking, "I heard from Himeko-sensei that you might be becoming the leader of Anti-Entropy?"

"That's exactly what Dr. Einstein said."

Shihen nodded.

"So... what do you think?"

Kiana asked softly, her eyes full of concern as she looked at the boy.

"To be honest, I don't know."

Leaning back slightly, Shihen sighed and said, "I never imagined I would become the leader of Anti-Entropy."

No, I should say I never expected to become the leader of the alliance so quickly.

Although he had revealed his dream of becoming the leader of Anti-Entropy to Mei and others, there is always a gap between dreams and reality.

After pursing his lips and pausing, Shihen continued, "I have always told myself that I must defeat that name thief and not let Mr. Walter's name and Anti-Entropy suffer humiliation in that guy's hands."

But now it seems I'm actually getting further and further away from that goal.

As he spoke, Shihen couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, his face revealing obvious frustration and disappointment.

Even a boy with unwavering conviction will occasionally feel despair when faced with a villain like Welt White who keeps getting stronger.

"But, Hen, you're not planning to give up, are you?"

Sensing a deep sense of resentment in the boy's eyes, Kiana smiled and said.

"..."

While biting his lip, Shihen clenched his fist tightly.

"So, you already had the answer in your heart, didn't you?"

Kiana gently grasped the boy's fist and asked softly, a gentle, tolerant smile on her face.

"Kiana?"

As if surprised by the girl, Shihen's eyes showed confusion.

“I have always drawn strength from you.”

So this time, let me be your strength!

Looking directly into the boy's dark eyes, Kiana spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"...Pfft~"

Meeting the earnest gaze of the white fluffy ball, Shihen shook his head and couldn't help but smile, "Kiana has really changed."

In the past, only Mei would have said such things, while the white-furred ball would have just shouted that it would beat up all the reactionaries.

“Trace”

Kiana's cheeks puffed out involuntarily, and she let out a soft hum, revealing a touch of cuteness unique to the white fluffy ball.

"Well, then I'll leave it to Miss Kiana."

Shihen patted the girl's head and said with a smile.

"Hehe, leave it all to me!"

Kiana felt instantly cheerful, and she regained some of her former naivety.

Beside him, looking at the white fur ball with a familiar smile on its face, Shihen couldn't help but smile slightly as well.

Although Kiana will inevitably mature, and this is perhaps the outcome he expects, it's not bad to see such a silly white fluffy ball of a girl every now and then.

"No~"

With her worries temporarily put aside, Kiana couldn't help but yawn as the accumulated fatigue in her body surged up.

Even though it takes almost half a day to travel from Changkong City to Haiyuan City, how could she calm down and rest properly when she thought about Mei's performance at that time and the boy she was about to meet again?

Adding to the pressure accumulated during her time as a wanderer, and the exhaustion from fighting Mei to the point of exhaustion, even the usually resilient Kiana was starting to feel the strain.

"If you're sleepy, Kiana, you should go and rest."

Seeing this, Shihen smiled and offered some advice.

"Um……"

With her eyes half-closed, Kiana nodded somewhat dazedly, then immediately threw back the covers and squeezed in.

Shi Hen: “…”

Isn't your movement a little too practiced?

Moreover, normally, something unexpected is bound to happen in this situation.

crunch~

The ward door was pushed open, and a gentle voice immediately rang out: "Hen, are you feeling better now..."

She had only spoken halfway when she saw the fluffy white ball of fur and the boy sharing the bed with her. Wendy instantly froze, her face turning red from her neck to her ears, and the tuft of hair on her head stood up straight.

"Um... I can actually explain."

Shihen tried to argue.

"Ugh... Hen... no... I can't eat anymore..."

Kiana, who had already fallen asleep instantly, made a muffled sound as she reached out and hugged the boy's waist.

Wendy's face immediately turned even redder, and the burning heat could be clearly felt even from several meters away.

"Sorry to bother you!"

She spoke as quickly as possible, then closed the door and disappeared.

Shi Hen: “…”

He felt that he was now in a situation from which there was no way to clear his name.

He clearly only wanted to be the white fluffy dumpling's only best friend.

Looking down at the girl in his arms, who was still sleeping restlessly, Shihen sighed and straightened her body as much as possible before lying down beside her.

His body was already exhausted; he couldn't resist a Herrscher.

and so……

"Get a good night's sleep, Kiana."

He leaned down and placed a light kiss on the girl's forehead, then closed his eyes, his consciousness... quickly shifting to the World Snake Film Studio.

After traveling almost halfway around the Earth, Mei finally arrived at the World Serpent Headquarters.

Chapter Ninety-One: Mei and the Snake

"..."

As Mei walked through the corridors of the World Serpent Base, she glanced at the blonde girl beside her, feeling a little resentful.

According to information gathered by the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy, World Serpent should be primarily active in Siberia, but the organization's headquarters is actually in North Africa?!

Even the headquarters has to be hidden so well; she felt that this organization was becoming more and more like a villain concentration camp.

Sensing the intense resentment emanating from Mei, Durandal could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

Putting aside the question of whether she can fight, Mei, as the Herrscher of Thunder, is quite fast at running away.

Even if it can't truly be compared to the speed of light, it's still far beyond what she can catch up to.

Therefore, she waited until Mei had flown all the way to the vicinity of the Arctic Circle before catching up with her when the girl stopped on her own initiative.

If I had known it would be like this, wouldn't I have been more honest and asked her beforehand?

While silently grumbling to herself, Durandal maintained a composed expression and said, "Raiden Mei, I know there's a conflict between you and Haku, but I hope you can try to control yourself and not act impulsively, lest..."

"Durandal, in your opinion, is the relationship between me and that guy merely one of conflict?"

Before the girl could finish speaking, Mei interrupted her coldly, "You've been an orphan since you were little, how could you possibly understand the pain of losing a loved one!?"

"I……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Durandal instinctively fell silent.

Despite having already recognized Siegfried, and with Rita and the others who remained in Schicksal already knowing that she was the real Kiana, Durandal still had no intention of spreading the truth.

She doesn't need the name "Kiana" to gain others' understanding and approval, and she doesn't want another Kiana to be troubled by it.

Moreover, during her time in the World Serpent, she had inquired about the whereabouts of Thunder Dragon Horse, but there was still no news.

The speculation that Raiden Ryoma might be dead made it even harder for her to face Mei calmly.

After all, while her father was killed by Walter White, her father Siegfried was still alive and well.

This inevitably made Durandal feel guilty, as she was also one of the beneficiaries.

"Even if there's only the slightest chance, I'll kill that guy!"

In the cold, desolate path, Mei walked straight past Durandal and headed forward.

Even if, in a sense, she and Durandal share the same fate, both being forcibly kept here by the World Serpent.

But her hopes of reuniting with the boy were dashed, and she was forced to push him to Kiana's side. There was even a Wendy lurking in the shadows in Abyss City...

The thought that all of this was directly caused by Durandal in front of her made it difficult for Mei to empathize with this former strongest Valkyrie.

Sensing the increasingly cold and gloomy aura emanating from Mei, Durandal wanted to persuade her, but couldn't find a way to break through, and could only sigh deeply in her heart.

With heavy hearts, the two girls quickly traversed the long corridor and arrived at a room as spacious as a castle hall.

At the far end of the room, on a steel throne with a backrest as tall as a spire, a white-haired young man dressed in black was looking them over.

Without a moment to look at Kevin, Mei's gaze fell directly on the two figures, one black and one white, standing on either side of the young man... or more precisely, on the masked man in white.

“...[Walter White]!”

After only a second of hesitation, Mei immediately summoned the Seven Thunder Gods of Purification, transforming into bolts of lightning and charging towards the man.

when!

In a flash, Durandal summoned the Black Abyss White Flower to stop the girl. The two Divine Keys collided violently, creating shockwaves that completely shattered the hall floor within a radius of tens of meters.

This is a situation where both of them have toned down their behavior.

"Raiden Mei, calm down!"

Seeing that the girl's eyes had turned completely crimson, Durandal hurriedly shouted.

"Well……"

Gritting her teeth, Mei let out a resentful snort, her gaze sweeping past the blonde girl and landing on the composed masked man not far away.

Even after narrowly escaping a sneak attack, [Walter White] remained standing tall without the slightest sign of panic, as if the battle before him didn't exist at all.

"Stop, Raiden Mei."

Kevin glanced at the boy's Soul Steel Prosthetic Body beside him and said in a deep voice, a cold blue light flashing in his eyes.

In an instant, Mei felt a chill that seemed to freeze even her soul, and the operation of her Herrscher powers became momentarily sluggish.

"..."

Gritting her teeth, Mei glared at Walter White with resentment before finally taking a step back, her Seven Thunders of Purification dissipating into arcs of electricity.

"Raiden Mei, I hope this is the last time. The Lord's majesty cannot be desecrated in the slightest!"

Beside him, Gray Snake, dressed in black robes, spoke coldly, his voice low and hoarse like a snake's, "And you, White Dove."

Whatever your plans are for the Herrscher, always remember your current identity.

"Yes, yes, I will be more lenient with this Herrscher of Thunder before I kill the Lord."

With his hands behind his head, Shihen chuckled softly.
