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

"Guests have arrived outside the base, and the Lord wants you to go and greet them."

Unable to know the girl's inner thoughts about herself, Gray Snake spoke in a calm voice.

"Guest? Who is it?"

Durandal asked, somewhat surprised.

Not to mention that ordinary people would have no chance of finding the World Serpent's headquarters, the fact that it even attracted Kevin's attention?

The red electronic prosthetic eye stared intently at the girl in front of him, and Gray Serpent said in an indifferent tone, "Bishop of Destiny."

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

Walking through this underground building that she could now completely call familiar, looking at the blond man beside her who seemed quite content, Durandal's expression turned slightly serious.

"Bishop, what is your purpose in coming to the World Serpent?"

Frowning, Durandal couldn't help but ask, "You should know that this place is not safe."

For an organization leader like Otto, going into danger alone is always a major taboo.

Even if the other party seems to have always been in a false form, who can really understand the methods of the World Serpent?

Even she couldn't be sure if the World Serpent could really keep Otto and use him to steal the power of destiny.

Even if Destiny and the World Serpent have a public alliance, such things are always no different from waste paper.

"With Durandal here, does the World Serpent really think it can attack me?"

Besides, as the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, can't you even protect one person?

Otto simply smiled indifferently at the girl's well-intentioned reminder.

“Bishop, I’m not joking with you.”

Seeing this, Durandal frowned even more deeply.

Even though she no longer felt any affection for Otto and no longer wanted to obey his orders, she still didn't want this bishop of destiny to get into trouble with the World Serpent.

At least for now, Otto still needs to exist.

Just as anti-entropy is to the world, destiny still plays an indispensable positive role in humanity's fight against collapse.

"Hehehe, don't worry, Bianca, I'm not joking with you."

Seeing the girl's growing anger, Otto's smile did not diminish in the slightest. "As the greatest warrior and leader in human history, I don't think Kevin would lack even this much magnanimity."

Moreover, I also have the ability to prevent him from attacking me.

Having ruled the destiny of heaven for five hundred years, he never fought a battle unprepared.

This time, Otto was quite certain that the chips he brought were something Kevin couldn't refuse.

“Bishop, please remember what you said.”

You should also know very well what your life means.

Seeing the blond man's carefree smile, as always, Durandal could only sigh.

Even though she had left Destiny, she still couldn't find much room for objection to Otto or what he was going to do.

"Haha, of course, Bianca."

On this point, I've always been very self-aware.

Upon hearing the girl's warning, Otto simply laughed out loud, "However, even after all that has happened, you are still just as kind."

So, why did you leave Destiny in the first place to follow that person?

Just because I broke up your family?

With a light laugh, Otto asked, his face revealing a strong sense of inquiry, as if it were just an ordinary question.

"Bishop, watch your attitude!"

She shouted in a deep voice, her tone filled with suppressed anger.

Even someone like her has her untouchable sore spots.

"Sorry, Bianca."

Otto raised his hands slightly above his head and said in a completely insincere tone, "But since you won't tell me, how about I make an assumption?"

Without waiting for the girl's reply, Otto continued, "You've always been a good girl, always willing to sacrifice your personal honor for the greater good."

Therefore, Walter White will never tempt you with power or status, but will offer you a bargaining chip that you absolutely cannot refuse.

For example…your father, Siegfried Kaslana’s, life, right?

"..."

Meeting the blond man's increasingly smug and probing gaze, Durandal simply chose to remain silent.

"Haha, looks like I guessed right."

Having gleaned the answer from the girl's silence, Otto's laughter grew even more unrestrained. "It's really strange. That guy, Walter White, usually doesn't care much about anything, yet he's so attentive when it comes to things related to you."

Is there a secret about you that I don't know about, or... is everything he's shown a facade?

By the end, Otto's voice was filled with undisguised coldness.

He had absolutely no liking for Walter White, who had repeatedly thwarted his plans and even kidnapped Durandal.

Even though the ultimate goal of this trip was to get something Kevin had always wanted, Otto didn't mind giving Walter White a piece of his mind along the way.

After all, he wasn't exactly a magnanimous person.

"..."

Hearing Otto's words and recalling her interactions with [Walter White], Durandal's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly composed herself and said, "I will find the answer myself."

She had already found some clues in the paradise of the past.

The only thing that frustrated her was that none of the heroes inside spoke human language, making her feel like she was just going around in circles.

"But haven't you found it yet?"

Otto said with a light laugh.

He felt that Durandal seemed a little too confident in herself.

Having watched the girl grow up, how could he not know what was going on in her mind?

If Durandal could defeat Walter White, he would have already hung that annoying, smelly fox up and beaten him to a pulp.

"So Bianca, why don't you try asking for help..."

Before he could finish speaking, Otto heard a sudden crackling sound in the air, and a golden greatsword materialized in his hand to block the incoming crimson blade of light.

Swish!

As if a sharp blade were slicing through a thin sheet of paper, the heavy golden greatsword could not hinder the crimson blade light in the slightest. It was sliced ​​straight through, severing Otto's arm as well. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, accompanied by several tiny arcs of electricity.

"Raiden Mei!"

Instantly snapping out of her daze, Durandal immediately held the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand and stood in front of Otto.

"Tch! Did you dodge it?"

Mei glanced at the severed arm at the blond man's feet and immediately clicked her tongue, a clear look of regret on her face.

Even though she had done her best to launch a sneak attack, Otto was clearly no pushover, and at the crucial moment he still managed to avoid hitting her vitals.

"Ha, a Herrscher of Thunder."

With a light laugh, Otto removed the parts of himself and his severed arm that had been completely burned by lightning, and quickly reattached his arm.

The body is entirely made of soul steel, and the key is to assemble it at will.

"It's only been a few months, and the dignified Bishop of Destiny is already in such a sorry state?"

With her chin raised at a 45-degree angle, Mei's face was full of contempt as she said, "Or is it that our Bishop Otto is just a despicable villain who only knows how to scheme in the shadows?"

"Raiden Mei, don't go too far!"

Durandal couldn't stand it any longer and gently scolded.

Even though she had parted ways with Otto, she was unwilling to see him humiliated.

"Excessive?"

Hearing Durandal's words, Mei couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "Compared to what this guy did to me and everyone else, my strike was actually light."

Even though the Battle of Destiny three months ago had the interference of [Walter White], the root cause was still Otto's desires and ambitions.

The thought that the boy had almost lost his life because of this kind of guy made her want to smash him into atoms.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Durandal fell silent.

No matter how she tries to justify it, she cannot deny that Otto has hurt many people for his own purposes, and she herself was one of the victims.

“Bianca, this Raiden Mei is right, she does indeed have the right to seek revenge against me.”

Still unconcerned, Otto maintained a mocking smile. "But Raiden Mei, have you ever thought about why you're standing here unharmed?"

More than two years ago, Welt White said that he would kill all the Herrschers and take away their powers one by one.

Do you really believe that guy will stop because of Kevin's restraint?

Even without knowing the exact relationships within the World Serpent, Otto could already guess the situation fairly accurately just by observing the change in the position of the Lord.

"This is none of your business."

Mei glanced at Otto briefly and then spoke coldly without hesitation.

From the moment she chose to step into the World Serpent, she was already prepared to face [Walter White].

No matter what schemes or tricks the enemy may have, she will fight to the very last moment.

“That’s right, there’s no need for Your Excellency, the Bishop of Destiny, to worry about such matters.”

Miss Mei is someone the Lord values, and our World Serpent Society will be responsible for her safety.

A gentle voice rang out, and then a beautiful figure dressed in red and white appeared.

"You stinky fox!!"

Upon seeing the pink-haired priestess, Otto's expression momentarily turned ferocious.

"Your Excellency need not worry, Miss Durandal has been doing very well in the World Serpent."

With a slight bow, Yae Sakura said with a gentle smile, "Moreover, it's even better than destiny."

At least, we won't lie to Miss Durandal.

Well, as long as Durandal doesn't see through it, then neither she nor the boy are lying.

"Bianca, let's go!"

Gone was any trace of elegance and composure; Otto immediately quickened his pace.

If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he would lose his temper too.

"..."

With a hint of helplessness in her eyes, Durandal glanced at the gentle-smiling pink-haired shrine maiden and then chose to follow.

Distracted by Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura, Otto didn't even feel like asking Durandal for information.

With hurried steps, the two quickly arrived at the audience chamber where Kevin was.

In front of the gate, carved from a single massive stone, a gray snake stood silently.

"Durandal, your mission is complete. Now, just hand over the Archbishop of Destiny to me."

The red electronic prosthetic eye sized up the two of them, and Gray Serpent spoke calmly.

Having said that, without giving the girl a chance to answer, the gray snake turned and walked toward the audience chamber.

"Then you can stay here for now, Bianca."

With a light laugh, Otto followed the gray snake without hesitation.

"bishop……"

Watching the blond man's seemingly light footsteps, Durandal felt a growing unease, but in the end, she could only watch him disappear behind the stone gate.
