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

"White dove!"

Upon hearing these words, which were clearly disrespectful to the dignity of the Lord, the gray serpent instantly became enraged.

But Kevin, as the main party involved, seemed not to hear the argument between the two beside him, his gaze still shifting back and forth between Durandal and Mei.

“Kevin, I have brought Raiden Mei back. She is the Herrscher of Thunder of this era.”

Noticing Kevin's scrutinizing gaze, Durandal stepped forward and spoke, her lance striking the ground with a crisp sound.

Unsure of Kevin's true attitude towards the Herrscher, she couldn't completely put her mind at ease.

"..."

Kevin was completely bewildered as he looked at the blonde girl standing tall and proud in front of him.

If you want to bring the Herrscher back, just bring him back. Why do you have to report to him so formally, as if he gave the order...?

Realizing this, Kevin couldn't help but turn his gaze to the masked boy beside him.

“You did well, Durandal, the serpent will remember your efforts.”

Kevin nodded slightly and said, his gaze immediately falling on the long-haired girl with black hair who still looked resentful and unwilling. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Welcome to World Serpent, Raiden Mei."

Regardless, since the other party is a new employee, the leader should express his attitude.

"What a simple welcome."

Mei, still radiating the aura of the Herrscher of Thunder, sneered, "I thought you were going to bring out something like a gallows."

As she spoke, the girl's gaze swept over Kevin on the Iron Throne and the others, including Walter White.

Well, although it was somewhat different from what she had imagined, the power struggles within the World Serpent were not unexpected.

Even though he did lose in the battle against Kevin, Walter White was still no docile and safe sheep.

Furthermore, the other party showed absolutely no restraint, openly revealing their wolfish ambitions.

If Kevin can tolerate even this kind of guy, does that mean he has an incredibly strong heart, or that the other party simply doesn't have the ability to completely control [Walter White]?

A glint flashed in Mei's eyes as she began to ponder.

"World Serpent welcomes anyone with the ability to join us."

Ignoring the barbs in the girl's words, Kevin spoke in a flat tone.

Meiyi: "..."

Does this guy think the World Serpent has a great reputation and that everyone who joins does so voluntarily?

"Stop with the nonsense. Just tell me what you want me to do."

"Are they going to chop someone up, or are they going to conduct some kind of experiment?"

Speaking in an icy tone, Mei's gaze never left the masked man for even a second; her eyes, now red from the Herrscher's power, were filled with a sharp edge.

Undoubtedly, the girl's use of the word "slash" refers specifically to a certain guy.

"You'll find out later."

Kevin said calmly.

He can't exactly say that he didn't think about it either, can he?

He glanced at a masked boy standing casually to the side and had a feeling that this kind of thing might only be the beginning.

"..."

Upon hearing this strangely familiar statement, Durandal's expression became indescribable.

The girl couldn't help but look around a few times, and only after confirming that she was in the real world and not her former paradise did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Raiden Mei, if you want to serve the snake, you will have many more opportunities in the future."

"Now, you can step down."

"It's gray snake," he said in a low, hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this, Mei didn't hesitate much. She simply glanced at the three people in the direction of the throne and paused for a moment on a masked man before turning around and leaving in the direction she had come from.

"Alright, now that the welcoming ceremony for the newlyweds is over, there's nothing more for me to do here, right?"

With a light laugh, Shihen didn't wait for Kevin's reply. He took a few steps and landed beside the blonde girl. "Come with me, Durandal."

"..."

After glancing hesitantly at Kevin on the throne, and seeing that he did not object, Durandal followed the masked man out through another passage.

Before long, only Kevin and Gray Snake remained in the empty hall.

"It seems you're on his side."

Looking at the gray snake in front of him, Kevin spoke calmly.

Despite the fact that the gray snake in front of him was trying to protect him, he could still tell at a glance where the other party was truly standing.

After all, the other party had never mentioned Raiden Mei to him.

"I simply chose the side that would save humanity the most."

He bowed slightly and spoke in a respectful tone.

"can."

Faced with this undeniable deception and betrayal, Kevin simply nodded.

He is willing to give up anything as long as humanity can defeat the Honkai, let alone merely act as a puppet.

Moreover, the boy had already proven his strength and will to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have cooperated with the other party in acting.

"Bai also reserved a gift for Your Excellency."

Still bowing slightly to maintain a respectful attitude, Gray Snake spoke in a low voice.

As Gray Serpent finished speaking, the floor of the hall split open to the sides, and one after another, enormous objects frozen in ice were transported up through a mechanism.

These are the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts collected by World Serpent in recent years, and they are all still alive.

Once the ice breaks, these Honkai Beasts are able to roar and destroy the world immediately.

Unlike the original timeline where only the raven could carry the banner, the World Serpent now has a strong and well-equipped force after the addition of a certain young man, and is fully capable of preparing more and better snacks for Kevin.

Looking at the more than thirty Emperor-level Honkai Beasts in the hall, Kevin gently stroked the armrest of his chair, lost in thought.

Doesn't he need it himself?

After a long pause, Kevin finally spoke up and asked.

Knowing exactly what the boy did in the Sea of ​​Quanta, he also had the deepest understanding of the boy's weakened state.

It is no exaggeration to say that without other means, it would take the boy at least several years to fully recover.

According to his estimate, the end is at most a year away.

"This is for you."

Grey Snake reiterated.

"I see."

Nodding, Kevin didn't continue to be coy. A large area of ​​ink-black shadow instantly spread out from his feet, and in a moment it submerged and enveloped the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts that were firmly frozen in ice.

quack~

Accompanied by a series of chilling chewing sounds, the shadow that had almost completely covered the hall shrunk rapidly and retreated back into Kevin's clothes, leaving the hall empty again.

With his elbows bent and resting on the armrest to support his head, Kevin closed his eyes and drifted into a light sleep. The temperature in the hall, however, dropped several notches rapidly, as if... an ancient god who controlled ice and snow was gradually awakening.

Chapter 92 The Disliked Heavenly Fire and Spy Mei

"You are hurt?"

Walking a few steps away from the white-haired man in the passage, Durandal frowned and asked.

Compared to their previous meetings, she could clearly sense that Walter White's condition was somewhat strange, as if... a deflated tire was continuously releasing some kind of aura.

It was as if he was trying to hide something, or as if the man had lost control of his own strength.

In this situation, she could even clearly sense that the opponent's power had dropped to the level of a normal Herrscher.

This is probably why Mei chose to take direct action earlier.

Even she couldn't help but start to wonder if this was her only chance in this lifetime to defeat him.

"What, you want to try and defeat me now?"

As if completely unaware of his injury, Shihen merely chuckled softly, his figure still casually revealing numerous openings.

"white!"

Upon hearing this, Durandal seemed to have been greatly humiliated and immediately let out a soft shout.

Does this guy think everyone is as despicable and shameless as him?!

"That's a real shame. I'd really like to see just how far I can go now."

Shihen shook his head and sighed regretfully.

Although he estimated that if he really fought Durandal, he would probably have to find a way to run away in less than a minute.

Putting aside his current weakened state, his Soul Steel body alone cannot withstand Durandal's serious punch, even if he stuffed a Herrscher core inside.

But given the circumstances, he can't afford to lose his charisma as the villainous boss.

Of course, all he can do now is bully this honest, golden, silly goose.

If it were Mei, the other person would most likely be very willing to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

I will defeat you, but not now!

She spoke with righteous indignation, her face radiating a knightly brilliance.

What she truly wanted was genuine submission from the other party, not this opportunistic sneak attack.

"Hehehe~"

Upon hearing this, Shihen merely trembled slightly and let out a soft laugh, "You really are adorably naive, golden silly goose."

Bang!

She slammed her fist into the wall, creating a large crater, her face contorted with furious resentment: "If you use that name again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Her patience also had its limits.

"..."

Glancing at the large pit beside him, big enough to hide a duck, Shihen generously forgave the girl's act of vandalism. "Speaking of which, that Raiden Mei is really vigilant. She's been testing something all along."

"Ok?"

She blinked, and a clear foolishness appeared in Durandal's eyes.

"You don't actually think she's just blinded by anger, do you? Golden... cough cough, Durandal."

He chuckled lightly, but under the girl's sudden, sharp gaze, Shihen hurriedly changed his words.

It's inconvenient to take action now that he's using an alias. We'll settle this score once his real identity is released.

Shihen glanced at the stunned Durandal and silently made a mental note.

As an evil and ruthless villainous boss, can he be threatened so easily?

"You mean, Raiden Mei has always been calm?"

Coming to her senses, Durandal asked, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

When Raiden Mei chose to take action, she was worried because the other party had lost her mind, but in the end... it was all an act?

"Don't underestimate her, she can control the power of a Herrscher with her own will."

Shihen nodded approvingly.

If it were the Mei of the past, she might have been blinded by anger, but now... from the fact that the girl was always observing his and Kevin's little actions, Shihen could deeply realize that Mei had grown up.

This is his reason for luring Mei into World Serpent.
