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

Is she talking about something inappropriate?

"Cough cough! It's nothing!"

I will think carefully about what you've said.

She hastily changed her words, not wanting to make any absolute statements.

After all, besides Durandal, Yae Sakura also revealed to her a path to the secret of the World Serpent.

"That's enough."

Upon hearing this, Rita immediately gave a genuine smile.

Having spent some time with Mei, she knew very well how kind-hearted this Herrscher girl was.

Undoubtedly, even after becoming a Herrscher, this girl's stance has never wavered; she is a human who has truly mastered the power of a Herrscher.

Thinking of this, Rita's heart sank.

In the plan that Otto had told her, the ultimate goal was to control the power of the Herrscher through human will.

But today, this goal has been achieved in a different way.

"That's really... ironic."

Rita murmured softly as she gently rubbed her forehead.

"Ok?"

Mei looked at the maid with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"It's nothing, just some feelings."

Perhaps it's a good thing for the world that Bishop Otto has left.

Rita said softly, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.

"He's still one step away from being completely dead."

Mei added with a cold laugh.

She would never forget that Otto had merely left Destiny and gone into hiding, far from having truly made his exit and taken his final bow.

Rita: “…”

While it is indeed true, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say it so directly to my face?

"Remember tomorrow's battle plan. I don't want to have to draw my sword against you again."

Mei gripped the two katanas at her waist and said, a chilling killing intent flashing in her eyes.

Having already been betrayed by fate once, she dared not open her heart to these people again.

After all, who knows if these guys might turn against us for some other inexplicable reason?

"Don't worry, Mei-san."

No matter what happens tomorrow, the Valkyries of Destiny will fight to protect the world!

With a slight bow, Rita spoke with a warrior-like resolve.

"..."

Without answering, Mei simply nodded slightly to the maid, then leaped off the roof and, with a few quick movements, transformed into a streak of crimson lightning and disappeared into the distance.

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

Meanwhile, outside the domain of the Herrscher of Ice.

Standing atop an abandoned house, Night Owl gazed at the massive iceberg in the distance, still shimmering in the night, and a surge of heat welled up within him.

This was his second meeting with Anna since the Manila collapse.

Well, after transforming from Chen Tianwu into Night Owl and completing numerous dangerous missions for that [Walter White], he finally received permission to meet with Anna a few months ago.

In a rather upscale restaurant on Coral Island, he tried his best to revert to being the ordinary Chen Tianwu, inviting Anna to dinner to express his gratitude and taking the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of his sister, Chen Tianwen.

After all, the collapse of Manila was entirely handled by Schicksal, and Anna, an A-rank Valkyrie, was one of the most likely ways for him to find his sister's whereabouts.

To Owl's bewilderment, when he took out his sister's photo, hoping to ask Anna to keep an eye on her, she turned pale and ran out of the restaurant without giving him any chance to explain.

Shaking his head to put aside these perplexing past events, Night Owl couldn't help but think of the information he had gleaned from Anti-Entropy.

Perhaps it was because his World Serpent colleagues working at Anti-Entropy were doing too well, but he obtained Anti-Entropy's entire battle plan at a speed that surprised even himself, and it was so complete that it looked as if it had just been taken from the desk of the Anti-Entropy leader.

Although quite surprised by this, Night Owl had no choice but to accept the battle plan, which included the arrangements made by fate, since things had come to this point.

Although in terms of pure strength, he was as insignificant as an ant in front of these two organizations, and couldn't even deal with a newly demoted A-rank Valkyrie.

But for Night Owl, who had endured countless trials under Walter White, this small advantage was enough for him to make some moves and find a way to break the deadlock.

This is the confidence of a World Snake executive.

"Anna, you rescued me from Manila two years ago."

This time, I will do everything in my power to prevent you from having the worst possible outcome.

Even if it means defying the gods!

With one hand pressed against his chest, feeling the roar of the engine left by the mechanization, Night Owl's eyes flashed with an extremely sharp light, like an owl standing on a treetop in the dark searching for prey, or like prey that had been completely driven to the brink of despair.

Chapter 107 The Boy's Queen Conquest

Southeast Asia, Coral Island.

The dawn light descended precisely on this artificial island located above the equator, its golden rays illuminating the enormous iceberg that stood so prominently on the equator, making it gleam like a golden mountain piled up with countless treasures.

Although some people may consider a Herrscher to be worth as much as a mountain of gold, for the 1.2 million people still stranded on the island, this is a ticking time bomb that could send them all to their doom.

Standing on the outer edge of the icy domain that had expanded to several thousand meters, looking at the blue and white frost that was still spreading at a visible speed, Shihen's gaze fell on the white-haired girl beside him, and he said, "Kiana, are you ready?"

Thanks to the overtime work of the construction workers from Destiny and Anti-Entropy, the protective devices for all camps were completed half an hour ago, and the test results were also quite perfect, ensuring that they can defend against a certain scale of Honkai pulse.

Of course, if Kiana's actions fail and the Honkai ultimately breaks out on Coral Island, then these devices will truly only be doing their best.

"Ah."

Faced with the boy's question, Kiana simply nodded, her pair of clear blue eyes, like the sky, slowly closed, and her mind quickly descended to the depths of her consciousness.

In recent months, she has only been familiar with the power of the Plague Gem, and has always maintained a mindset of avoiding using the powers of the Herrscher of the Void if possible.

After all, the true Herrscher of the Void is holed up inside this core.

Whenever she attempts to use the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, she inevitably has to fight with the Herrscher of the Void.

Even though her power has now surpassed that of Sirin, she still loathes contact with her and doesn't want any unnecessary interaction with this villain who almost killed the boy.

But this time... in order to prevent the Honkai from erupting on Coral Island, she must obtain the complete Herrscher of the Void authority!

After passing through a misty area, Kiana soon arrived at a dark and damp corridor.

Pata ~ Pata ~

Kiana frowned as she felt the dampness of the muddy ground where every step she took created a splash.

But before the girl could really complain, the corridor soon came to an end.

"You've finally arrived, Kiana~"

Inside a cell separated by iron bars, a girl with the same appearance as the white fluffy ball chuckled and spoke, her golden eyes revealing a queen-like arrogance.

"What are you up to now!?"

Taking a deep breath, Kiana asked, her brows furrowing deeply.

"Hehe, this time you took the initiative to come see me."

With a soft laugh, Xilin spoke unhurriedly, her tone naturally exuding the composure of someone in a superior position.

"I meant this cell!"

She pointed at the iron bars and shouted in a deep voice, her voice filled with suppressed anger.

Strictly speaking, the area she used to suppress Sirin was this entire space, so this corridor and the cell were actually created by Sirin herself.

"Isn't this good too? It highlights your victorious attitude?"

With a smile, Xilin stood suspended in mid-air, her slender feet bare yet untouched by any filth. Even in her simple prison uniform, she could not conceal the arrogance that seemed to emanate from her very bones.

Despite being in a prison cell, Sirin seemed more like a victor than the white fur ball outside.

"..."

Unable to comprehend the Herrscher of the Void's purpose in acting this way, Kiana paused slightly before continuing, "Give me your power!"

To save the 1.2 million people on Coral Island, she needs the power of a true Herrscher of the Void.

"Kiana, Kiana, have you been spending too much time with that human monkey and it's damaged your brain?"

Hearing the girl's blunt request, Sirin shook her head slightly. "If I asked you to give me your body, would you agree?"

"impossible!"

Kiana answered without hesitation.

She would never allow the Herrscher of the Void to give her body to the Herrscher of the Void and let her hurt the boy and the others again.

"Then what makes you think I would hand over my power to you?"

With a light laugh, Sirin raised her chin slightly, her golden eyes revealing utter arrogance.

"If the collapse isn't stopped, all 1.2 million people on Coral Island will perish!"

Kiana explained anxiously.

"What does that have to do with me?"

With a laugh, Sirin countered, her smile growing increasingly unrestrained. "I am the Queen of Honkai, and the more ants that die, the better it is for me."

And I really want to see that self-reproachful and frustrated look on your face~

"you--"

Kiana was furious when she saw the Herrscher of the Void's undisguised villainous demeanor.

With a staggering 1.2 million lives on the line, how come this guy still acts like he's enjoying the spectacle even more?

“...Na, Qi...Na…”

A muffled voice suddenly rang out.

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt flickered in Kiana's eyes, and she immediately felt a faint connection coming from somewhere within her body.

After a brief moment of thought, Kiana chose to take the initiative to contact and connect with him.

Swish!

The moment the connection was established, a crimson light suddenly shot out from the white fur ball's chest and quickly transformed into the image of a boy with a somewhat transparent texture.

"mark!?"

Kiana's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden appearance of the boy.

"Well, I was a little worried outside, so I tried to resonate with the Plague Gem, and I didn't expect it to actually come in."

Nodding slightly, Shihen explained with a smile.

"Amazing!"

Looking at the boy in front of her, whose figure was transparent and flickered from time to time as if the connection would be completely severed at any moment, Kiana's eyes revealed a kind of amazement that she couldn't understand.

Although she could see that the connection was unstable, the boy had still managed to do something almost unbelievable, hadn't he?

Shihen didn't explain anything further about the white fluffy ball's praise; he just smiled slightly.

Even if the theory he spoke of did exist, he did it with the help of another force, and it took him a lot of effort to shape the link into this half-broken state.

If he were to go all out, he could absolutely help Kiana completely suppress Sirin and seize her power.

But doing so would be meaningless. Only when Kiana truly achieves a connection of minds with Sirin can she become the perfect human sacrifice... cough cough, the perfect multi-core Herrscher, instead of being limited to the simple authority of the Herrscher of Flame as she is now.

As he was thinking, Shihen's gaze fell on Xilin beside him, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although she seems carefree, it turns out Kiana has quite a wild side in private.
