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

Looking into the girl's blue eyes, which were filled with bright Honkai energy, Shihen asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency."

This time, I cannot obey your orders.

While maintaining verbal respect for the man, Anna's tightly taut face showed no reverence, but rather a resolute intensity more fiery than any flame.

"Then let me see just how much awareness you have."

With a light laugh, Shihen pulled his lance toward himself and kicked the girl hard at the same time.

boom!

With a muffled thud, even though Anna had raised her arm to block the kick, her body still flew backward involuntarily.

Having temporarily repelled Anna, Shihen did not press his advantage. Instead, he slightly sidestepped a cyan wind blade that almost grazed his nose.

boom!

As it swept past the man, the wind blade suddenly slammed into the sea, creating a giant splash tens of meters high.

Without looking back at the explosion, Shihen's gaze fell on Sirin, who had reappeared as the Herrscher of the Void.

With the power of the Plague Gem and the Herrscher of the Void's core still not restored, Kiana's only option if she wants to participate in the battle and play a role is to ask her other self for help.

"Didn't they choose to run away like last time?"

How interesting. When did the mighty Herrscher of the Void start fighting for a human?

He said with a smile, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Human, you've got it wrong."

"If that human hadn't acted recklessly, I wouldn't have bothered to intervene."

"However," Sirin said leisurely, though her body was trembling slightly, she still tried her best to maintain the haughtiness befitting a queen, "you dare to covet what's mine, are you prepared to pay the price!?"

"Hahaha~"

Shihen glanced around at the three Herrschers surrounding him and burst out laughing. "Let me see just how much you've improved."

boom--

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, as Mei had chosen to strike first.

Transforming into lightning, Mei instantly traversed nearly a hundred meters, unleashing five sword strikes simultaneously, embodying the phrase "swift as lightning" to its fullest extent. The crimson blade light immediately enveloped the man's entire body.

"Since you're using a sword, then I'll respond with my own sword."

Faced with the Herrscher of Thunder's imposing attack, Shihen chuckled and made a white short sword, only slightly longer than his palm, condensed from high-density Honkai energy in his hand.

Swish!

The short sword flashed through the air, and Shihen broke Mei's five-hit combo with just one strike. The white short sword and the purple longsword clashed, producing a crisp metallic clang.

"If this is all you're capable of, you're still 50,000 years away from killing me."

Holding his sword in one hand, Shihen suppressed the girl's Seven Thunders of Purification, preventing her from advancing an inch, and said unhurriedly.

"Well……"

With a muffled groan, Mei stepped back slightly, briefly withdrawing her long sword before slashing at the man with even greater speed.

Horizontal slash, diagonal slash, kasaya slash... In the blink of an eye, Mei had already unleashed dozens of sword strikes, displaying a variety of sword techniques from different schools with ease.

But facing the girl's fierce and relentless attacks, Shihen remained calm and composed, his short sword perfectly blocking Mei's attacks without expending any extra energy.

Judging solely by her swordsmanship, Mei at this point undoubtedly deserves the title of Sword Saint, far surpassing the Houmu Sword Saint who is still struggling with the Hokushin Ittō-ryū style.

Unfortunately, Shihen was destined to go much further in the art of swordsmanship, even though he did not devote himself to it wholeheartedly.

But once you master one technique, you master all techniques. When Danghen honed his combat skills to the point of being in no way inferior to Fu Hua's, swordsmanship held no secrets for him anymore.

when--

Amidst a series of clanging steel sounds, streaks of lightning and sparks from Honkai energy erupted around the two, adding a touch of excitement to the sword dance.

"Miss Mei!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Mei gritted her teeth, her face showing resentment, but her body still obediently retreated.

The moment the girl retreated, a long, icy spear, over ten meters long and radiating endless coldness, shot towards the man, giving him no chance to pursue Mei.

"The Herrscher of Ice's full-force attack? It doesn't seem so impressive."

He nodded slightly in his evaluation, and Shihen glanced with interest at Anna, who was already panting heavily.

Even though this is the first time the girl has used the power of a Herrscher to fight with her own will, the stamina she consumed in the previous battle will not be returned.

It's safe to say that Anna was already at low health; she would collapse completely with just a slight touch.

A faint white light flickered in his eyes, and the short sword in Shihen's hand suddenly grew to several meters in length, slashing straight at the terrifyingly large ice spear.

Swish!

Like a hot knife through butter, the ice spear, which was formed by the Herrscher of Ice with all her might and was powerful enough to destroy an Emperor-level Honkai Beast in one strike, was instantly cleaved in two without any hindrance, and the cut surface was as smooth as two mirrors.

Discarding the white short sword that was no longer able to bear the weight, Shihen reached out and grasped the two pieces of the spear. He turned around, and the remaining icy spear flew backward and stabbed towards Mei and Anna.

boom!

A bolt of lightning struck down, shattering the spear that was hurtling towards her. Mei glanced at Anna, who was now only able to gasp for breath, and immediately stepped in front of the girl without hesitation.

Ignoring the two girls, Shihen leaped forward and flew swiftly toward Xilin, who was somewhat bewildered in the midst of the chaotic battle.

Always the one getting ganged up on, this queen clearly doesn't know how to cooperate with others in battle.

"Hmph! Insolent human, prepare to die!"

Seeing the white-haired man rushing towards her, Xilin couldn't help but snort coldly, and more than ten deep blue wind blades shot out immediately.

Looking at the white-haired man who was instantly engulfed by the wind blades, a hint of smugness flashed in Xilin's eyes.

If the other party continues to fight with that half-body, then she will really be in a difficult situation.

After all, she couldn't possibly make her attacks accurately avoid Mei.

but now……

Tremble before the Queen's majesty, humankind!

The thought had barely formed in her mind when Sirin saw a white figure moving with almost ghostly speed, dodging all the wind blades and rushing towards her.

Xilin: “…”

She felt that this human was cheating.

Without the slightest hesitation, Celine immediately followed Wendy's example and created a layer of fluid defense on her body.

boom!

Almost the instant the defense was formed, the man's fist also fell, but it only stirred up ripples on the protective shield.

"Ha ha ha~ Humans, have you finally realized your own insignificance?"

Seeing that her defenses were effective, the fear in Sirin's eyes vanished instantly, and a smug smile returned to her face.

This is an absolute defense constructed with ideal fluids; any attack will be futile unless bombarded with force several times greater than that of the ordinary.

The fact that he only promised to use one percent of his power was something that this human named Walter White could never have done.

So, she's invincible now!

"Herrscher of the Void, have you ever seen a pufferfish?"

After a slight pause, Shihen chuckled and asked.

"Human, what do you mean by this!?"

She couldn't help but question him angrily, and a sense of foreboding washed over her.

"The so-called pufferfish is a creature that expands very easily."

But no matter how much it expands, it can quickly return to its original state with just a little stimulation in the right place.

Like this...!

With a soft shout, Shihen immediately unleashed a barrage of punches, creating ripples on the fluid shield.

As the resonance of hundreds of ripples spread, a small, fleeting dent quickly appeared on the protective shield in front of Sirin.

Realizing the man's intention in an instant, Sirin's pupils widened, and the power of the gem she craved surged rapidly in an attempt to repair the shield.

But even faster than the girl's movements was an incredibly sharp and powerful punch.

boom!

With a single punch, the fluid shield, which was theoretically capable of withstanding any physical impact, shattered instantly. The man's fist, still carrying considerable force, struck the girl, instantly blasting her into a shrimp-like shape.

With a muffled thud, Xilin's body flew out again and crashed into the sea, leaving several large splashes of water in its wake before finally disappearing into the seawater.

"Kiana!"

Nearby, Mei, who had finally arrived, still habitually called out the white fluffy ball's name, while a few traces of despair welled up in her heart.

Although she wasn't sure whether Walter White had kept his promise to use only one percent of his power, she could still sense the limits of his power at that moment.

Even with this level of power, [Walter White] still displayed an almost invincible demeanor.

Compared to men, they are like complete novices, completely at the mercy of their partners.

How could they possibly defeat such an enemy?

"This is just a warm-up, and you can't even keep dancing?"

As if sensing the girl's current mood, Shi Hen said calmly, his tone revealing utter disappointment, "Since that's the case, then I'll leave the Herrscher of Ice and the Leader of Anti-Entropy..."

"Stop...!"

A loud shout rang out, and a white furry ball suddenly burst out from the seabed, throwing a heavy punch at the man.

Bang!

Choosing to meet the attack with his fists as well, Shihen immediately clenched his fist and slammed it towards the white-haired girl. The two fists collided violently, creating a terrifying impact that even caused the sea beneath their feet to tremble and form a huge dent.

"If you want to catch the traces, you'll have to step over my body first!"

Kiana stared at the white-haired man in front of her with eyes full of rage. At this moment, her eyes showed a strange color, one gold and one blue, and she exuded a strong aura of longing for gemstones.

Under immense pressure from [Walter White], the white-furred ball finally unlocked a new Herrscher form, named Sirin Chakra... cough cough, successfully achieving coexistence with Sirin in another form. Kiana is now able to control her body while receiving Honkai energy transferred by Sirin.

For Sirin, who has never received systematic combat training, simply acting as a Honkai energy battery and handing her body over to Kiana to control is undoubtedly a way to better utilize the strength of both of them.

"Haha, things are finally getting a little more interesting."

Looking into the girl's heterochromatic golden-blue eyes, Shihen let out a hoarse chuckle.

Seeing that the white-haired man was still in a playful manner, Kiana gritted her teeth, reached out and conjured a dark blue windmill, then swung it at the man.

Having witnessed the battle between the Herrscher of the Void and Welt White, she knew that the opponent was exceptionally strong in both skill and experience, and only close-quarters combat could truly trouble the man.

Shihen dodged the white fluffy ball's wind-colored halo by sidestepping, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a beam of crimson lightning that suddenly extended like a spear and thrust towards him.

Having lived and fought together for three years, Kiana and Mei's tacit understanding is beyond question.

Even without the young man as a supplement, the two's teamwork is still excellent.

Faced with this relentless pursuit, a glint flashed in Shi Hen's eyes, and a protective shield in the shape of a white plum blossom suddenly opened up in front of him.

Nourishing ~

The lightning flashed, and the protective shield summoned by Shihen was pierced in less than a second.

With only the normal output limit of a Herrscher-level user, Shihen's current offensive and defensive attributes are not much higher than Kiana and others; in fact, they can be said to be barely on par with Anna.

Therefore, it is only natural that Kiana and Mei only need to exert a little force to break through his current defense.

But from beginning to end, what Shihen truly relied on was not power in the absolute sense.

With a slight tilt of his head, he dodged Mei's version of the Thousand Birds Spear, but only a few strands of Shihen's hair were severed and burned to ashes by the lightning.

This is the consequence of having long hair and not tying it up when you're fighting.

clap clap!

Faced with this minor setback, Shihen didn't get angry but laughed instead. He even clapped his hands slowly and forcefully, saying, "Your strength is indeed commendable for being able to damage a few strands of my hair."
