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

But in the ever-spreading darkness, a cluster of lights quietly rose.

Swish!

Under the night sky, a golden-red light suddenly appeared and quickly transformed into a long sword wreathed in flames, instantly incinerating a Honkai Beast.

Starting with this ball of flame, over a hundred floating cannons rapidly spread out in the air, separating and aiming at the surrounding Honkai Beasts.

call out--

In a fleeting burst of intense light, countless Honkai Beasts collapsed instantly, without experiencing any unnecessary pain.

This is the benevolence of those who follow the laws of reason.

After the Herrscher of Reason physically persuaded them, countless green vines immediately grew and spread between the ground and the house, and clusters of small white flowers appeared and bloomed on the branches, releasing a faint and pleasant fragrance.

Bathed in the fresh and gentle fragrance of flowers, the injured found their bodies recovering quickly, and those who were physically weak felt full of energy again, as if running a marathon would be no problem at all.

"Gentlemen! We are warriors of anti-entropy, here to help you!"

Please follow the direction of the flames; someone will meet you once you're outside the city!

A spirited female voice rang out, and a bright, blazing flame ignited, slowly flying eastward like a shooting star, illuminating numb and desperate faces along the way, leaving a ray of dawn in their eyes that had almost lost their color.

With the threat of the Honkai Beasts temporarily subsided and their bodies revitalized, people in the crowd quickly sprang into action, running at full speed toward the flames.

The next second, like a wildfire spreading, more people awoke from their confusion and began to move together, forming a frenzy of escape.

Kiana breathed a slight sigh of relief as she looked at the crowd, which finally seemed to have a glimmer of hope.

In such a sudden disaster, the most terrifying thing is despair and chaos.

Often, people don't die at the hands of Honkai Beasts or zombies, but are defeated by their own fear and panic, ultimately losing their minds and collapsing.

With such a flame guiding the way, although some degree of chaos is still unavoidable, it is at least much better than complete disorder.

"Bronya, Seele, Wendy, let's split up now."

Kiana glanced around at the girls beside her and said with a slightly serious expression.

As Herrschers, they all possess the power to independently resolve large-scale Honkai events, so naturally, dividing into four groups would be more efficient.

Even Wendy, the only one to leave the Herrscher ranks, possesses power no less than that of an S-rank... a certain S-rank Touko, who could quickly eliminate a large number of Honkai Beasts.

It can be said that as long as Wendy doesn't encounter anything like a King-level Honkai Beast or a Herrscher, she can still dominate on the battlefield, making her a veritable half-Herrscher.

This is why Kiana brought Wendy along when she rushed to Coral Island using the authority of the Herrscher of the Void.

"Bronya got it."

Bronya spoke succinctly, and the Herrscher of Reason's long skirt automatically exuded an aura of power even without wind.

"Seele will try her best too."

She tightened her grip on the enormous scythe that now bore many small white flower decorations, and spoke in a still somewhat weak voice.

"Wendy... cough cough, let's all do our best for Coral Island!"

Wendy was almost swayed by the Blue Ocean Group's verbal tic, so she quickly straightened up and said.

"Yes, for Coral Island!"

Kiana smiled at Wendy, then her figure retreated, transforming into a streak of crimson light and disappearing into the distance.

"Seele, be careful. If you encounter any dangerous enemies, remember to notify Bronya."

Bronya gave a serious word of advice, glancing at the green-haired girl beside her. After thinking for a moment, she added, "Wendy too, don't push yourself too hard."

After losing the Gem of Desire, Wendy did not become complacent; on the contrary, she worked even harder in training and missions.

Especially after the teenager's return, Wendy spent more and more time in the training room every day, as if she was trying to prove something.

Although Bronya's relationship with Wendy wasn't particularly close, and Wendy had always been cared for and mentored by Theresa, her companion's behavior still genuinely worried her.

"Yes, Wendy, everyone will be worried if you get hurt."

Seele also said with a worried look on her face.

"..."

Faced with two concerned faces, Wendy felt inexplicably irritated.

Before becoming a Herrscher, Bronya and her companion were clearly unable to defeat her even when they joined forces.

But by simply inheriting the core of the Herrscher of Reason and the Tranquility Gem, the two of them have already reached a level far surpassing hers, and are even lecturing her now.

Wendy wanted to retort directly, but her innate kindness made her realize that the two people cared about her.

"Hmph! When it comes to Valkyries, I'm your senior. You'd better worry about me stealing your thunder!"

Stubbornly uttering a sentence, Wendy then chose a direction, and with a few leaps, she disappeared behind the streets and buildings.

"Wendy..."

She couldn't help but call out softly, her eyes filled with even more worry.

"Trust Wendy, Seele."

As she softly comforted her, Bronya's expression hardened slightly, a fleeting glint of light flashing in her eyes.

Her intuition told her that Wendy seemed to be hiding a lot of things.

But with battle imminent, all she could do was trust her comrades.

Once things are a bit clearer on Coral Island, I'll bring this up with Theresa...

As she thought about it, Bronya chose a direction and quickly flew away, and Seele followed suit and flew off in a different direction.

The ability to arrive at the battlefield and take action within an hour of an incident is the speed unique to the Anti-Entropy Herrscher squad.

Although Coral Island is a large city with a permanent population of 180 million, its vast size means that the investment of three and a half Herrschers can only be considered a drop in the ocean.

However, in the early stages of this event, Kiana and her companions, shining like stars, were enough to stop the chaos and panic that was spreading across Coral Island.

Half a day later, as the first rays of dawn touched the coral island, a vast floating fleet from the east finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

On the flagship Hyperion, thanks to the signal enhancement capabilities of the airship, Shihen quickly made contact with the Herrscher team that had set off earlier.

"Bronya, how's the situation? Have you found any trace of the Herrscher?"

As soon as the communication was established, Shihen immediately asked.

Limited by the energy interference at the time of the Herrscher's birth, although Anti-Entropy's military satellites can detect the Herrscher's birth, their exact location can only be determined through genuine manual investigation.

Even in the later stages of version iterations, the birth of Herrschers becomes more subtle, no longer exhibiting any obvious anomalies.

Otherwise, if every time a new Herrscher is born, several Herrschers come to block the door as soon as the new Herrscher is born, even the Honkai Will will not be able to withstand it.

“Bronya has discovered the Herrscher who was born this time, but... His condition is a bit strange.”

A girl's slightly hesitant voice came through the communication channel.

"Oh? What are the specific details?"

Shihen raised an eyebrow and asked, his tone carrying just the right amount of doubt.

"This time, the Herrscher... seems to be frozen?"

Bronya hesitated before answering.

"Frozen?"

Theresa, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Bronya will send you the scene now."

Bronya spoke calmly, then paused, and soon several pictures were presented to the people on the Hyperion.

"..."

Seeing the scene where the entire abandoned construction site was completely frozen like an iceberg, Einstein, who was accompanying him, paused for a moment and then said, "The ability to control frost is very similar to the Fifth Herrscher's power recorded in the previous civilization."

"It seems that the one born this time should be the Herrscher of Ice."

Shihen nodded slightly in agreement.

"But why did He freeze himself?"

Theresa tilted her head and asked, glancing at the Honkai expert beside her.

Even if it's to demonstrate one's power, there's no way one would freeze themselves, right?

Einstein: “…”

She felt she had encountered a problem that science could not solve.

In all her years, she had never seen a Herrscher whose abilities had spiraled out of control to this extent.

“Bronya also detected another force within these ice blocks.”

Bronya paused slightly, took a deep breath, and continued, "That is the power of [Walter White]."

"That imposter?"

Upon hearing this, Shihen frowned immediately.

"Furthermore, during the process of guiding the evacuation of citizens, Seele encountered members of the local Valkyrie squad, the Snow Lotus Squad."

According to the Valkyries, their captain, Anna Shaniat, should be in this area.

However, Bronya did not find any trace of the other party.

Bronya explained.

"That shouldn't be the case~"

To be able to become the captain of a Valkyrie squad, Anna must be at least an A-rank Valkyrie.

Even if the other party really did encounter a Herrscher, shouldn't there have been some indication of it?

Theresa frowned and pondered, "Surely, this Anna isn't the Herrscher?"

"...Based on the information currently available, this is the most likely possibility."

Bronya said in a slightly helpless tone.

In an instant, everyone on the ship turned their gaze to the nun.

Theresa: "..."

She really was just saying it offhand!

Bronya, have you made any other discoveries over there?

Shihen asked in a slightly serious tone.

This information alone is not enough to determine the identity of a Lawyer.

"According to the information provided by the Valkyries of the Snow Lotus Squad, Anna must have received a secret letter from [Walter White] before coming to this area."

However, half an hour after the other party entered, both the satellite and the Honkai energy detectors deployed by Schicksal simultaneously detected the fluctuations of a Herrscher's birth.

Bronya said methodically, "And there's something else that Bronya finds strange."

Aside from the fluctuations at the birth of the Herrscher, the Honkai energy concentration on Coral Island is rising at an unusually slow rate, as if... something is hindering the Honkai from occurring.

As she spoke, the girl's tone was full of confusion.

"Walter White did it? But why?"

Theresa blinked, and little stars rose in her eyes.

"But theoretically speaking, it is completely impossible to prevent the collapse from happening by human effort."

Einstein suddenly spoke, his calm voice carrying a power that compels one to believe him.

"why?"

Shihen chimed in at the right moment.

Can you imagine yourself grasping the light?

Einstein asked in a serious tone.

"……cannot."

After a brief moment's thought, Shihen decisively shook his head.

"It's that simple."
