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

Mei said coldly.

Regardless, the vast majority of ordinary Valkyries of the Church of Destiny are innocent.

Moreover, this was also the original intention behind the boy's development of the Moon Ring series of armor.

However, before this series of armors could be truly rolled out, Otto suddenly attacked Kiana...

With the Far East Branch merged into Anti-Entropy and the Church of Destiny controlled by World Serpent, Mei still doesn't want the boy's hard work to be wasted by some inexplicable barriers.

"Miss Mei, Rita will always remember your kindness."

Ignoring the girl's cold attitude, Rita spoke with utmost sincerity.

Even though she herself doesn't need artificial stigmata, having been a Valkyrie for so long, she still understands the value of such armor.

"That's not necessary."

Mei remained indifferent in the face of the maid's gratitude, though a hint of absentmindedness flickered in her eyes as she gazed westward. "If you really want to thank someone, you should thank Hen instead."

The person you almost killed was actually the true developer of this series of armors.

Rita: “…”

So, was Bishop Otto really wrong?

Rita, who had always been skeptical of Otto's "confession," began to lean towards the other side.

Chapter 101 The Frost Is Coming

Headquarters of Anti-Entropy, Alliance Leader's Office.

boom!

With a loud slam of the door, a burly man strode out, his face contorted with rage, nearly colliding with a white-haired girl who was coming straight at him.

"You little brat..."

Just as he was about to swear, the burly man's pupils contracted when he saw the white-haired girl's face as she stepped aside, and he swallowed back the foul words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

Although the girl in front of him looked harmless and even as graceful as a princess, he dared not forget that in a recent war against the Honkai, she had single-handedly demonstrated a power no less than that of an entire mecha force.

Moreover, the enemy also has a blue dragon under their command that is even more ferocious than the most advanced floating warship of Anti-Entropy. It is extremely brutal in battle, enough to stop a child from crying at night.

Ironically, it is said that the newly appointed young leader of the alliance plans to build a dragon-themed amusement park, with riding a giant dragon and soaring through the sky as the core attraction, and even encourages children to go and play.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and the burly man quickly forced a fawning smile onto his face, greeting her in his gentlest voice, "Hello, Miss Kiana, are you planning to bring lunch to the Alliance Leader?"

As he spoke, the man's gaze swept over the large food box the girl was carrying, and a strange sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

Is this girl, who looks exactly like a little girl in love, really the same person as the powerful Valkyrie who wreaks havoc on the battlefield?

I don't know how that new leader managed to conquer such a monster.

"Hmm, did you just finish talking with Hen?"

Holding the food box, Kiana stood sideways, blinked, and smiled as she asked.

"The alliance leader..."

Speaking of the boy, the burly man couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Kiana, if you have the chance, you should also advise the Alliance Leader that some things cannot be accomplished just by wishful thinking."

Having said that, without offering any further explanation to the girl, the burly man strode away.

"..."

Kiana glanced at the man's back briefly before continuing towards the office.

Pushing open the door, Kiana saw two young men and women sitting apart, with three cups on the coffee table.

Kiana immediately sensed what had happened and asked softly, "The negotiations with that person from before didn't go well?"

"It's Kiana."

As if just realizing what had happened, Shihen gently rubbed his temples and looked at the girl who was approaching with light steps, his eyes full of tenderness. "It's just a small matter, you don't need to worry about it."

As the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, his job certainly doesn't just involve sitting in the office reviewing documents.

Meeting with all sorts of people, allocating benefits, planning organizational development... these are also part of his tasks, and they are parts that are hard to pass on to Peggy.

At least in most people's eyes, there is a difference in the weight of the leader himself and the leader's assistant, not to mention that he is particularly young and should personally appear to show respect.

As a positive character who embodies love and truth, he should not be arrogant in any way.

Unfortunately, even though Shihen showed a kind and gentle side, his youthful appearance and lack of experience still made many people look down on him.

This is something that only time can reverse.

After all, even including the three years he spent in St. Freya, the boy has only been with Anti-Entropy for less than five years.

The kind of scenario where someone has the backing of a core high-ranking official and can command everyone's respect with a single commanding gesture is impossible for a young man.

Even though the World Serpent's anti-entropy setup was enough to make Einstein and others question their existence, they still had to take things one step at a time.

The way things should develop is for Shihen to take a down-to-earth approach and gradually build up his own prestige.

Otherwise, even the white fluffy ball would sense something was wrong.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kiana paused, having grown considerably, and was certainly not fooled by such a clumsy excuse.

Kiana walked over and sat down next to Shihen quite naturally. Looking at the boy's noticeably tired face, a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes: "Is this the executor system reform you mentioned before? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Although her current position does not involve the administrative management of Anti-Entropy, she will still remember what the boy once said.

"Yes, the Executor system was created by Anti-Entropy to cope with the oppression of Fate."

But now that the possibility of us clashing with destiny has decreased, dealing with the Honkai is the most important thing right now, so this system is naturally no longer applicable.

He gently patted the girl's head and explained softly.

While the executor system allowed Anti-Entropy to develop under the siege of Destiny, it also made Anti-Entropy an extremely loose alliance.

When the enemy is destiny, the system of breaking down the whole into smaller units and implementing it can effectively ensure that anti-entropy is not wiped out by the enemy in one fell swoop.

But when the enemy becomes Honkai... if the young leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance wants to use the resources under the command of a certain executor, he would have to go through more than ten procedures, and in the end, it would depend on the personal wishes of that executor.

In short, the money of the anti-entropy executors is not the money of Shihen, the leader of the anti-entropy alliance.

Is this something he can tolerate?

If he doesn't first consolidate the power of anti-entropy in his own hands, how will he then govern the destiny of centralized power?

Thinking to himself, and looking at the well-behaved white fluffy ball in front of him, Shihen's expression relaxed a bit: "Kiana has already helped me a lot."

And there's also Dr. Einstein and the headmistress.

As the boy gradually masters anti-entropy, Theresa is also trying to integrate the original Far East branch into the alliance to achieve complete resource integration.

After all, a single command system will always operate faster and be better able to cope with the threats posed by the collapse than two separate systems.

stare--

Noticing the sudden change in the blonde girl's expression to one of resentment, Shihen quickly added, "Uh... Peggy too."

That's how it is.

Despite some minor setbacks, things are generally moving forward.

With a smile, Peggy looked at the white-haired girl in front of her and narrowed her eyes slightly, her heart already beginning to race with frustration.

What's wrong with this guy? Doesn't he ever train or go on missions? All he does is run around here all day?

This is clearly her and the boy's office!

Unaware of the blonde girl's resentment, Kiana simply opened the food box she had brought, laid out the dishes inside, and said with a smile, "I'm so grateful to Peggy for helping Hen these past few days. Otherwise, I don't know how busy he would have been all by himself."

"Ahem! I do know the importance of acting within my capabilities."

Shihen interjected.

Peggy: "..."

Oh right, so you dumped all the work you could on me, right?

In an instant, Peggy's eyes turned incredibly resentful.

"Hmph~"

Kiana simply smiled at the boy's stubbornness and handed a set of cutlery to the blonde girl next to her: "Peggy, come on over, I brought quite a lot of food this time."

"Well……"

Instead of immediately agreeing, Peggy first looked at the boy beside her.

"Let's eat together, it shouldn't be any worse than the cafeteria food."

Shihen said with a smile.

Peggy is now considered one of his capable assistants, so he wouldn't be too harsh on her.

"Thank you, Miss Kiana."

Peggy responded politely, picked up a piece of stir-fried beef and put it in her mouth. A complex smile, a mixture of surprise and slight resentment, appeared on her face. "I didn't expect that Miss Kiana is not only powerful, but also a great cook."

"Haha~ Of course!"

Scratching the back of her head, Kiana gave a smug yet slightly embarrassed smile.

Shi Hen: “…”

He swears that not a single kitchen was damaged, and that this was definitely not the work of the white-haired dumpling.

Noticing the intense gaze of the boy beside her, Kiana finally gave in and confessed, "Okay, actually Wendy and I did it together... I watched Wendy do it."

Give me some face in front of Peggy, you idiot!

While muttering a complaint, the white fluffy ball couldn't help but roll its eyes at the boy.

Peggy: "Hmm..."

Although it was revealed that Kiana is not good at cooking, why didn't she seem happy at all?

"Wendy made this?"

Looking at the array of dishes with a distinctly Chinese style in front of him, Shi Hen's eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

"Hmm, it seems that Aunt Flo has been craving Chinese food lately, so Wendy went to learn how to make it."

Kiana thought for a moment and then answered.

"That headmaster has some rather unique hobbies."

Shaking his head, Shihen cast a caring glance at the girl.

Although it has become a little smarter than before, the white fluffy dumpling's brain growth is obviously not much.

"Chinese cuisine? I happened to have studied it for a while. How about I make it for you to try sometime?"

Peggy said with a sigh, her gaze fixed intently on the boy.

"Great! I'd love to try Peggy's cooking too!"

Kiana readily agreed for the boy, a nostalgic smile spreading across her face. "Besides, it's been a long time since I've had any of your cooking~"

As it spoke, the white fluffy ball looked at the boy with sparkling eyes, like two bright stars.

"..."

Meeting the different gazes of the two girls, Shihen suddenly had the illusion that he was in the midst of a great calamity.

"Ahem! Speaking of which, how are the children at the orphanage doing? Are they adapting well to Anti-Entropy?"

Shihen used the tactic of shifting the topic.

"You mean Rosalia and the others?"

Kiana smiled knowingly, realizing the situation even faster than Peggy. "Those kids are all very energetic, but they seem a bit mischievous at school. Seele has already been called in by the teacher several times."

After Cocolia's "sacrifice" and Bronya and Seele became Herrschers, Einstein offered to help improve the conditions of the children in the orphanage and brought Rosalia and others to the Anti-Entropy headquarters to take care of them.

Bronya, Peggy, and the others agreed to the proposal after only a brief consideration.

In the past, the orphanage's funding mainly came from Cocolia's own salary and sponsorships that the other party had secured through various means, without ever touching a single penny of Anti-Entropy's public funds.

Under these circumstances, the orphanage could only barely survive and could not provide the children with very good living conditions.
