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

"Huh? Really?"

Theresa blinked involuntarily and was immediately stunned.

When she decided to rebel against Otto, she was prepared to shut down St. Freya, but it was, after all, the culmination of her years of hard work, so how could she really be indifferent to it?

"Although Walter White has become the nominal bishop, most of the power is still in the hands of Durandal. I believe she will not harm the students of St. Freya."

He explained earnestly, a gentle smile appearing on his face, "Moreover, whether it's Anti-Entropy or Saint Freya, since we inherited this spirit from our predecessors, we must pass it on sooner or later."

The continuous cycle of life and the passing down of knowledge—this is what allows humanity to keep progressing.

Where leaves dance, fire also burns eternally; the firelight will… cough cough, anyway, the name is irrelevant; what matters is the idea that is passed down through generations.

The sparks ignited by our predecessors are used by future generations to dispel the darkness; this is the true essence of the Spark Project.

"..."

Hearing the boy's words, Theresa was even more stunned. After a long while, she came back to her senses and gently shook her head. "Shihen, you are now so impressive that even I have to look at you in a new light."

Even though Anti-Entropy still had a lot of things to think about and solve, the other party was able to think about things much further into the future, something that made her feel inferior.

"Hmph! Henke has always been very capable!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana straightened her back and looked proud.

She has the military prowess to command the retreat of [Walter White], the political acumen to devise strategies to quell entropy, and even possesses groundbreaking creations like the Lunar Ring Armor. She can't think of any reason why she shouldn't be proud of it.

Theresa: "..."

Didn't you ever think that I'm your aunt?

Seeing the white fluffy ball looking even happier than she was when praised, Theresa felt a pang of sadness.

She usually appears mature and composed, so why does this silly niece act like she's lost her mind whenever it comes to things related to teenagers?

Moreover, if this silly niece could firmly grasp the boy's thoughts, then she wouldn't say anything, but unfortunately...

If this stupid niece were even slightly more sensible, she wouldn't have ended up being on par with Mei.

According to the inside scoop she got from Tesla, that silly kid was three years ahead of Mei back then.

If this were a period drama, it definitely wouldn't survive even half an episode!

Thinking about this, Theresa felt her stomach begin to ache.

Now that things have come to this, she wouldn't still be worried about her silly niece's marriage, would she?

"Indeed, Alliance Leader Shihen is truly amazing, almost on par with... Lady Durandal."

Anna nodded gently, her eyes practically sparkling.

He was able to rescue her from an almost impossible predicament and even commanded the repulsion of [Walter White]'s clone...

In Anna's mind, the series of miracles created by the boy were something only Durandal could rival.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kiana's face instantly darkened.

Firmly believing Durandal to be a formidable rival and also quite wary of Anna, this newly joined Herrscher of Ice has practically stepped on all of Anna's landmines in one fell swoop.

Kiana's dissatisfaction had swelled to its peak like a pufferfish, but she didn't vent it. Instead, she puffed out her cheeks slightly and said, "Wasn't Anna's hair a different color before? Why did it suddenly turn white!?"

If the other party was just a Herrscher, it would be fine, but... even her hair and eye color have become the same as hers, how can Anna make her feel at ease?

"Well……"

Seemingly sensing the white fluffy ball's hostility, Anna picked up a strand of her snow-white hair, looking at herself with a helpless expression.

"According to Dr. Einstein's examination, it should be that Miss Anna was subjected to too much Honkai energy stimulation when she became a Herrscher, which accidentally activated the Schariac Stigmata in her body, thus causing the various changes in her appearance."

Shihen explained kindly.

Just as Mei's transformation into a Herrscher caused changes to her Stigmata, all the changes that occurred to Anna have a reasonable explanation.

Unfortunately, even though Anna took a big step forward in appearance to resemble Cecilia, she did not gain the same Schariac Holy Blood power as Cecilia; she just had an easier time controlling Honkai energy.

Although this is a decent bonus, it's still somewhat regrettable given the example set by the mother-in-law.

How do you know so much?!

Kiana said angrily, her gaze towards the boy carrying a hint of hostility.

She said Anna was dangerous, and signs of it appeared so quickly!

"...I am the leader of the alliance."

Shihen said helplessly as he placed a large chicken leg on Kiana's plate.

He felt that he had raised this white fluffy ball of fur incorrectly; how could it forget such a simple thing?

"..."

In an instant, the girl's face turned completely red.

"Idiot Kiana."

Bronya delivered the finishing blow with a blank expression.

As a result, Kiana's slender neck also became a little red.

With a smile, Shihen tucked the messy strands of hair that had fallen over the white fluffy ball's shoulders back and raised a glass full of beverage, saying, "Cheers to the victory of the Coral Island operation!"

"Cheers!"×N

Different sounds arose, and cups gathered together, and then...

when!

A crisp sound rang out, and the lock cylinder of the Time Trace Room door popped out, rolling several times on the floor inside the room before finally coming to a stop.

Strangely, even though the sound was no less than someone shouting in their ear through a megaphone to the Herrschers in the room, not a single person thought it was wrong.

No, one of the armed dolls did notice the anomaly.

But before Cangxuan's Book could issue a warning, a hand suddenly pressed down on the barcode on her chest, forcing her to shut down again.

"Tsk! I've only been gone a few days, and these guys don't even bother to come looking for me, they've already gathered here on their own!"

Seeing everyone continuing to eat as if they were oblivious, Fu Hua immediately complained.

Bored from wandering around outside, she finally decided to go back to Anti-Entropy to see if the boy and the others were already extremely worried about her disappearance.

If that's the case, she wouldn't mind showing her face beforehand to ease the boys' and others' worries.

But what was the result?

She was out there starving, while the boy and his friends were enjoying a life of luxury. How could she tolerate that?!

Even if she could tolerate it, she couldn't tolerate the Feather Dust in her hand!

“Such complaints are pointless, and you shouldn’t use your authority on them.”

Fu Hua sighed helplessly.

Although she had figured out the other person's identity as a Herrscher through her communication with this other self, she did not have the power to stop the other person's actions.

Just like now, the other party walked openly to the boy and the others, and even modified everyone's consciousness so that no one could detect them, and Fu Hua still couldn't do anything.

"None of your business. Feather Dust is my power, and I can use it however I want."

While retorting, Fu Hua picked up the Cangxuan Book, which was in a shutdown state, and placed it on her lap, kneading it casually like a doll. She then started eating with the other party's utensils without any hesitation. "Hey, you know what, Shihen's cooking is pretty good. No wonder so many Herrschers like him."

"This has nothing to do with whether the food tastes good or not."

Furthermore, Shihen didn't learn to cook to please the Herrscher.

Fu Hua defended the boy.

"One, two, three, four... If we include this Herrscher of Wind who couldn't even protect her own core, there are five Herrschers sitting at this table alone. Can you still say this guy isn't cooking to curry favor with the Herrschers?"

Fu Hua pursed her lips and snatched a piece of braised pork that Kiana had just put in her bowl. She then burst out laughing at the bewildered look on the white-haired girl's face.

"What you're doing is wrong."

Fu Hua tried to persuade her.

Although as long as she doesn't enter combat or drastically distort Kiana and the others' perceptions, she and the Herrscher of Consciousness won't be discovered, but...

She also felt ashamed watching the other person use their body to fool around.

"I've protected China for five thousand years, what's wrong with me eating some of their food!?"

Fu Hua, speaking with righteous indignation, snatched a piece of chicken from the boy's mouth, laughing heartily at the boy's empty-handed chewing of air.

Fu Hua: "..."

She felt that if she didn't stop him, the title of "Immortal Red Iris" would eventually become synonymous with extravagance and debauchery.

This is an account that she spent five thousand years cultivating!

"Senior Cangxuan Zhishu, the braised fish chunks this time are very good, please have more."

With a smile, Shihen picked up a piece of fish for Shibao.

Having become the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, he has a very broad mind and will not mind the little antics of the Herrscher of Consciousness.

"Not bad, not bad, you're quite polite, kid."

"Once I defeat Kevin and [Walter White], I'll appoint you as that Bishop of Destiny."

Overjoyed at the sight, Fu Hua immediately threw the fish into her mouth, and then...

"Senior Cangxuan Zhishu, what do you think of this fish?"

Seeing Shi Bao suddenly baring his teeth, Shi Hen asked with great concern.

"You have to be careful of bones when eating fish."

Fu Hua added.

"This kid is deliberately trying to harm me, isn't he!?"

Forced to swallow the fish whole, Fu Hua immediately summoned a feather, intending to teach the boy a small lesson.

"Xiao Xuan's body is made of soul steel, so there's no need to worry about fish bones."

Fu Hua hurriedly explained.

Although her body wasn't so easily injured by a fishbone, she still felt pain when it was necessary.

Fu Hua: "..."

Is this saying she's not even as good as a useless robot?

"Hen! I want to eat fish too!"

Kiana immediately became dissatisfied when she saw the boy helping others pick up food.

Even though in her mind that the Cangxuan Book always sat in that position, she was still unhappy.

"alright."

Helplessly, Shihen picked up a piece of fish, removed the bones, and placed it in the white-haired dumpling's bowl.

"..."

Seeing the silly little dumpling's blissful expression, Fu Hua's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.

She used to admire the young man quite a bit, but now you're blatantly applying double standards, aren't you?

However, sensing the intense Honkai energy reactions emanating from the Herrschers around her, Fu Hua ultimately didn't dare to forcibly distort the boy's perception.

The risk is too great.

She didn't want to be discovered so soon.

Unable to calm her anger, and seeing the boy about to get up to serve rice, Fu Hua immediately chose to replace his bowl with her own.

Before long, seeing the rice with tall bamboo shoots sprouting in front of her, while the boy's front was still empty, Fu Hua's mind suddenly became clear.

Things obtained without effort are indeed better than what one has... no, this is something she obtained through her own abilities, so it belongs to her.

"..."

Forced to stand aside and watch all this, Fu Hua wanted to find a corner to hide in.

Even if his memory is quite chaotic, can't this guy be a little more serious?!
