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

Now that Einstein has offered to help, Bronya and the others naturally have no reason to refuse.

Moreover, North America is undoubtedly safer than Siberia, which is only marginally better off than war-torn regions.

"School..."

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Peggy's face showed a hint of emotion.

Although she stands on the cusp of anti-entropy power as the boy's assistant, she is still old enough to go to school.

Of course, for Peggy, who had acquired much of the necessary knowledge through tutoring and self-study after arriving at Anti-Entropy, school no longer held much significance.

"Kiana, you weren't exactly well-behaved at St. Freya either. You made the headmaster furious several times a week."

Shihen said with a smile.

"Thinking back on it carefully, I was really quite immature back then."

You and everyone else have done so much for me…

Faced with the boy's teasing, Kiana showed a gentle, nostalgic smile.

As she grows up, she is now able to examine her past with a more composed perspective.

"Because that's Kiana for you."

He gently patted the girl's head, feeling the smooth texture of her long white hair, and said with a smile, "Besides, the headmistress and the others are still here, so it's not too late for you to understand now."

"Yes! I will definitely study cooking hard and try my best to make dishes as delicious as yours in the future!"

In an instant, Kiana clenched her fists, her blood boiling with excitement.

Shi Hen: “…”

No, there's absolutely no need for that!

"Kiana and Hen seem to have a very good relationship?"

Looking at the two people in front of her who seemed so harmonious that no one else could possibly be there, Peggy spoke softly, her voice almost overflowing with resentment.

"Because Hen is the most important person to me."

Still oblivious to the blonde girl's emotional shift, Kiana smiled and spoke with utter composure.

Kiana is also one of my most important friends.

Shihen smiled and nodded slightly.

Peggy: "..."

She felt she should stay in the cafeteria.

"By the way, I received a purchase order from Destiny a few days ago regarding the Moon Ring Armor."

According to the people in charge of the handover, they were inspired by Mei to come up with this idea.

Shihen smiled and changed the subject.

"Really? Mei, she..."

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately revealed a complex expression that was a mixture of surprise and a touch of melancholy.

"Don't worry, Kiana, we will get Mei back one day."

Shihen spoke earnestly, but a hint of dazedness appeared in his eyes.

From a purely rational perspective, the widespread adoption of the Lunar Ring Armor could very well propel Honkai into another phase of development.

For this world, which is nearly five months since the Fourth Honkai Impact and still has several Herrschers active, this undoubtedly represents another thing—another Herrscher is about to be born.

As he pondered and savored the dishes Wendy had meticulously prepared, Shihen's eyes narrowed slightly.

This time, it's time to show him the limits of the Honkai Will.

Chapter 102 The Frozen Herrscher

Southeast Asia, Coral Island.

As dusk settled, a beautiful young woman with long chestnut hair slowly walked into a place that resembled an abandoned construction site.

If the Valkyries stationed here were here, they would surely recognize at a glance that this chestnut-haired girl is Anna Shaniat, the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad, the Valkyrie unit stationed on Coral Island.

Anna glanced around at the place, which didn't seem like a benevolent place at all, and the air seemed to be filled with an unsettling atmosphere. A sense of unease immediately rose in Anna's heart.

But thinking of the email she had received an hour earlier, the girl mustered her courage and stepped inside.

rustle~

Anna's specially made armored combat boots made a soft sound as she stepped on the gravelly mud. After carefully looking around, Anna hesitated before walking toward a building that looked like an unfinished construction site.

"Your Majesty the Bishop! Your Majesty the Bishop!

"Your Excellency, are you there?"

As she cautiously ventured deeper, Anna parted her lips slightly and let out a cry.

Yes, without a doubt, the reason why Anna, as the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad, stepped into this place at this time was because she received a secret letter from a certain Bishop of Destiny.

Despite being puzzled by the secret mission mentioned in the email, as a Valkyrie of Destiny, obeying orders is a girl's duty, even if the current bishop seems to have an illegitimate background.

But since the other person is sitting in that position, she has to admit it.

As she whispered her name, Anna heard the echo of her voice hitting the wall, and a sense of fear began to rise within her.

Did she arrive too early?

But the email clearly states this time!

If that bishop really did arrive, then the other party must have already discovered her, right?

But looking at the current situation...

Was the bishop delayed by something, or did the other party simply want to play a trick on her?

Search carefully for another hour. If you still haven't found anything, then go back.

In this way, even if the bishop investigates later, he will not be considered to have disobeyed orders.

Having made up her mind, Anna's anxious mood calmed down a little.

But just a second later, a faint voice suddenly rang out:

"Sister...Sister..."

"ah!?"

Unable to hold back her delicate body, Anna let out a startled cry. Like a frightened rabbit, she quickly scanned her surroundings, but still couldn't see anything unusual.

"Your Excellency, Bishop? Is that you?"

Anna asked in a slightly higher tone, and unsurprisingly, she received no answer.

Anna patted her chest gently and reassured herself softly, "Did I really hear wrong? I knew the bishop wouldn't be trying to scare me like that..."

But the next second, a voice even clearer than before rang out:

"Sister... Sister, save me..."

Anna: "..."

What should she do? She desperately wanted to run away...

Even a Valkyrie would feel fear when faced with such a haunting event.

Several times Anna considered walking away, but the thought that someone might actually be asking her for help made her unable to bring herself to do it.

She really is a Valkyrie!

"Just... take a look. If it's just a look, there shouldn't be too much danger, right?"

While quietly convincing herself, Anna quickly made up her mind and walked towards the direction from which the sound came.

As Anna walked through the unlit, abandoned buildings that seemed like an abyss, her heart pounded faster and faster.

Despite the fear that was about to burst out of her chest, the sense of duty as a Valkyrie did not allow the girl to run away before the situation was clear.

Moreover, she would never tolerate something like what happened in the Manila collapse two years ago happening again!

Thinking of that nightmarish disaster, Anna subconsciously placed her hand on her chest and pressed it gently, as if only in this way could she barely suppress the fear and unease in her heart.

Before long, after passing through a dark and gloomy corridor, Anna quickly arrived at the place where the sound had come from and saw the brown-haired girl, about ten years old, who was trapped under the rubble.

"..."

In an instant, as if struck by lightning, Anna froze completely in place.

The girl who appeared in front of her now was exactly the same as the girl she had failed to save in the Manila collapse two years ago due to fear!

Even the scene of the other person being buried under the rubble was exactly the same, as if it were a complete reproduction from her memory!

"No, no, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Her mind went blank, and Anna could no longer care about saving people. She ran back the way she came as fast as she could.

The idea of ​​someone who is clearly dead reappearing is absolutely impossible!

Could it be that the other person's vengeful spirit has come to claim her life, blaming her for not saving her from certain death?

The more Anna thought about it, the more panicked she became. She felt dizzy and couldn't even see where she was going. She could only rely on her instincts to run away as fast as she could.

boom!

Anna suddenly stumbled and fell heavily to the ground, a burning pain shooting through her body.

Ignoring her injuries, Anna stared blankly ahead with a look of terror in her eyes, her jewel-like rose-red pupils trembling violently.

Ahead of the girl, a little brown-haired girl covered in blood was staggering toward her, like a demon returning from the deepest hell.

"Sister...save me..."

As she let out a few weak murmurs, the girl walked slowly toward the fallen Valkyrie, her steps slow but carrying an unwavering determination to achieve her goal.

As the brown-haired girl drew closer, Anna momentarily forgot that she was a Valkyrie. Her heart was completely filled with fear and guilt, and these emotions continued to rise and grow, as if they were about to break through some unknown boundary.

Finally, overwhelmed by extreme fear, self-blame, and shame, the last thread of reason in the girl's mind snapped.

"Ah~~"

A piercing scream escaped Anna's throat, and her consciousness went haywire. She vaguely saw something unseen casting a glance at her.

The next second, Anna felt as if she had established a connection with a vast, ocean-like space, and a large amount of seawater was pouring into her body, trying to completely submerge and fill her.

At the same time, an endless surge of violence welled up from the girl's heart, carrying an irresistible command of destruction that took over Anna's entire consciousness.

I've... become a Herrscher?

The moment Anna realized the command, she understood everything that had happened to her, and a deeper fear and unease rose in the girl's heart.

But just as Anna was trying to resist all of this, a strange buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and the large amount of Honkai energy pouring in from the imaginary space also paused for a moment.

In that instant, which was even shorter than the blink of an eye, a chill that seemed capable of freezing everything suddenly descended, completely freezing the newly born Herrscher and the entire abandoned construction site.

And... the massive amount of Honkai energy that is about to flood into the real world through the Herrscher core.

Chapter 103 The Void Game Between the Boy and the God

On June 1, 2017, as countries in the Northern Hemisphere were gradually entering summer, the fifth collapse quietly descended upon Coral Island.

Within just one hour of the incident, Destiny and Anti-Entropy announced that they would send support to Coral Island to do everything possible to prevent the impact of the Honkai disaster from spreading further.

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

Southeast Asia, Coral Island.

This is a newly built city formed by land reclamation jointly undertaken by Southeast Asian countries and Australia. Preferential policies and the application of various high technologies have enabled the city to demonstrate extremely strong vitality from the very beginning, making it the most shining pearl on the equator in Southeast Asia and attracting countless people who pursue their dreams.

But in this darkness before dawn, Coral Island was plunged into darkness in a different sense.

roar~~

Accompanied by low, hoarse roars, one after another, white beasts with blood-red markings rampaged through the streets, destroying everything in sight.

Faced with these monsters, some as big as houses and with hard shells that even heavy machine gun bullets could not penetrate, the only thing people could do was to run for their lives.

As the Honkai Beasts raged, streetlights shattered and collapsed, adding to the already dark night's gloom, as if the entire city was about to fall into an endless hell.
