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

Those inherently evil Herrscher brats should all be subdued by me.

He said calmly, and then Shihen hung up the call.

"An evil Herrscher..."

With communications cut off, and looking at the devastated Schicksal headquarters around her, Durandal couldn't help but ponder deeply.

Although he hadn't done anything good, she didn't think that the Herrscher of Knowledge was evil.

At most, the other party is just a little ignorant and naive.

If someone could guide them, they might be able to fight for humanity like Kiana and the others.

only……

Thinking of Walter White, Durandal couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Chapter 124 The Treasure Appraiser Gradually Discovered an Emptiness

World Serpent Headquarters.

After passing through a slightly dark passageway, Mei soon arrived at the audience chamber, which was as spacious as a castle hall.

Looking at the unchanging figure of the white-haired man on the Iron Throne at the far end, Mei couldn't help but wonder:

Does Kevin never eat or rest while staying in a place like this?

"Just say what's on your mind, Raiden Mei."

Kevin spoke calmly, his cold voice interrupting the girl's reverie.

"..."

Looking into the icy eyes of the man on the Iron Throne, Mei gritted her teeth before speaking, "Kevin, what exactly is the significance of the Herrscher to the Honkai?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this question, Kevin raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest on his face.

"For a long time, humanity in our time has believed that the purpose of the Herrschers is to destroy civilization, but..."

As she spoke, Mei paused slightly, recalling the events of the Coral Island incident, before continuing, "If the meaning of the Herrscher's arrival is only this, then the Honkai seems far too ridiculous."

Ultimately, would He really let the Herrscher escape control so easily?

During the Coral Island incident, Mei realized to what extent the humans who served as the prototypes of the Herrschers at the time of their birth could influence the Herrschers' behavior.

It can be said that compared to the will of the Herrscher's original body, the influence exerted by Honkai is rather insignificant.

Anna, as the Herrscher of Ice, was devoid of reason, while Night Owl, as the Herrscher of Star, completely disregarded her mission to destroy civilization, caring only for her so-called revenge.

Even the Herrscher of the Void, who has always been regarded as the most steadfast practitioner of the Honkai's will, is actually helping humanity fight against the Honkai!?

These events undoubtedly demonstrate that the impact of Honkai on Herrschers is not as terrible as humans imagine; on the contrary, it is somewhat beyond their reach.

For those Herrschers who defect to the human camp, the Honkai cannot even weaken their power; they can only watch helplessly as the Herrschers use the power bestowed upon them to fight against them.

"..."

Looking down at the long-haired, black-haired girl who was raising her head to question him, Kevin nodded almost imperceptibly and said, "You are qualified to enter that place, Raiden Mei."

Kevin had actually anticipated that Raiden Mei would enter the Paradise of the Dead.

Because he knew very well that the Paradise of the Past was the only reason the boy wanted this Herrscher of Thunder to join World Serpent.

What surprised Kevin somewhat was that the boy entrusted him with the power to assess Raiden Mei's qualifications, as if he was certain from the beginning that the girl would grow to this level and discover the secrets behind the Herrscher of this era.

Although I didn't quite understand it at the time, now it seems that while there was some guidance from the boy behind the scenes, Raiden Mei's excellence is also obvious.

The other party is indeed qualified to enter the Paradise of the Past, regardless of whether they possess the identity of a Herrscher.

"Where?"

Upon hearing this, Mei couldn't help but frown.

She had a very bad feeling about it for no reason.

"There, someone will answer all your questions."

Simply put, Kevin slightly raised his hand to the side, and a dark door appeared in the corner of the audience chamber.

"..."

Mei glanced at Kevin with some suspicion, and after confirming that he really meant no harm, she nodded slightly and turned to step through the door with a decisive gesture.

Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, she has to go and brave them.

Only in this way can she uncover the deeper truth of the Honkai, understand the actions and purposes of Kevin and [Walter White], and better protect the most important person to her!

Da da……

The girl's crisp, powerful footsteps gradually faded away, and then the figure of a man wearing a white mask emerged from the side.

"You should have told her yourself."

Kevin looked at the boy who appeared in the form of a white mask and said calmly.

"But isn't it good as it is now?"

Looking up slightly at the white-haired man on the throne, Shihen asked with a light laugh, "Besides, you are the lord of the World Serpent."

I mean the real you.

Kevin said calmly.

He simply couldn't understand why the boy would act like a villain while simultaneously doing righteous and noble things.

If the other party is willing, they are fully capable of leading humanity forward as a complete leader.

He believed the other party possessed that capability.

"Boss Kevin, under what circumstances do you think humanity can unite?"

Shihen asked with a smile.

"..."

Kevin lowered his eyes and remained silent in response to this question.

"The answer is self-interest."

Without expecting Kevin to provide an answer, Shihen explained to himself, "Only when humanity faces an enemy that requires all its strength to fight can those people with their own agendas truly unite."

Differences and ulterior motives will always exist among humans, even for people like Karen or Cecilia.

But when faced with a threat large enough, even Otto would know to seek cooperation with anti-entropy.

Therefore, the world needs a villain.

From this perspective, Honkai Impact 3rd is really a bit disappointing; not a single one of its many Herrschers actually does their job properly.

Left with no other choice, Shihen naturally had to take matters into his own hands.

As for whether the Herrschers' defection was related to him... Shihen stated that he was just an ordinary leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance and knew nothing about these matters.

“You do resemble Alicia, but you do it better than her.”

Kevin nodded slightly and said.

Alicia tried her best to maintain human unity, but she was never able to do so.

"It's probably because the difficulty of the dungeons is different."

Shihen said casually.

Compared to the fragmented human factions of the previous civilization era, the composition of human power in this era is indeed much simpler.

Of course, this isn't really a good thing either.

Because, in essence, this was achieved at the expense of all other possibilities for humanity.

Among those stars whose names were erased by Otto, perhaps one of them will be able to create another future for humanity?

It goes without saying that fallen geniuses can't be considered geniuses. Before becoming Fusion Warriors, Mebius and others could be killed with just one bullet.

But in the pre-civilization era, no one pulled that trigger.

Moreover, unification achieved by physically eliminating differences is ultimately extremely fragile.

Just as Otto, no matter how shrewd he was, could not ultimately prevent the birth of anti-entropy.

This was both a coincidence for Walter and others, and an inevitability in human development.

"But you did it in the end."

Kevin said calmly.

He doesn't care about the process as long as the result is good.

Meeting Kevin's consistently indifferent gaze, Shihen shook his head, not dwelling on the matter. Instead, he flipped his hand, pulled out a red feather, and threw it at the man: "Someone claiming to be Fu Hua will come and fight you later."

"..."

As Kevin took the feather and felt the familiar fluctuations on it, he fell silent for a moment.

He could sense that the true essence of Hua was contained within this Feathered Dust, the so-called "Fu Hua" that the young man had spoken of...

"What do you want me to do?"

Kevin asked casually.

As long as it benefits human civilization, he doesn't mind being used as a pawn by the young man.

"Kevin, do as you please."

Just as you trusted me, Boss Kevin, I also trust your decision, Boss Kevin.

Shihen smiled and then waved his hand before turning and leaving.

Kevin is more suited to step in and return the Feathered Dust.

After all, in Shi Bao's current understanding, Kevin was an old friend who had fought alongside her for many years, while [Walter White] was a wanton and ruthless villain.

The two are worlds apart in terms of innate likability.

"..."

Watching the boy's carefree and casual figure, and then looking at the crimson feather in his hand that emitted a faint light, Kevin thought for a moment before leaving the Iron Throne and walking out of the audience hall.

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

On the other side, after leaving the headquarters of Destiny, Fu Hua maintained high-speed flight and soon came to see an abandoned city buried in yellow sand in the desert.

"This place is actually quite easy to find, just like me!"

Fu Hua grinned immediately and headed towards the abandoned city.

rustle~

Unauthorized biological units were detected, and the mechs lurking beneath the desert began to emerge.

"That's fine, let's warm up with you guys before we start fighting Kevin!"

With a smile, Fu Hua charged towards the mechs without hesitation, her fist, slightly larger than a steamed bun, suddenly swung out.

Bang!

Starting with the destruction of one mech, a brutal massacre that would break the hearts of any Titan mech that witnessed it began.

After quickly completing the disposal of the mechs, Fu Hua was about to investigate the exact location of the World Serpent base when an incredibly powerful consciousness suddenly entered her perception range.

Turning her gaze, she saw the white-haired figure walking towards her through the yellow sand, and Fu Hua immediately broke into a bright smile: "Yo! Hello, old friend!"

"..."

Looking at his old friend who had just dismantled several of World Serpent's self-defense mechs, Kevin paused slightly, then shook his head and said, "Hua never calls me a friend."

"Oh, I guess I just mixed it up."

"I've only just been resurrected, and my mind is full of memories, so it's normal that I can't remember some things clearly."

Fu Hua casually explained, her eyes immediately lighting up. "By the way, is that guy named Welt here with you?"

"Call him out right now, I'm going to beat him up!"

"why?"
