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

Having been by Cocolia's side for so many years, she had witnessed a lot of darkness, but compared to this kind of plan that often came at the cost of all humanity, she felt more naive than a newborn baby.

"That's why Hen didn't want you to join the World Serpent."

"The raven sighed deeply," he said.

Compared to the true nature of the World Serpent, Peggy's understanding of darkness was practically indistinguishable from the afternoon sun.

"But if that's the case, why would Hen stay in the World Serpent?"

Forcing herself to calm down, Peggy couldn't help but ask.

Before she knew the true nature of the World Serpent, she thought the boy would be in a dominant position within it.

But now, all that remains in her heart is deep confusion.

How could the incredibly gentle boy in her heart, who was only slightly cunning in his methods, possibly associate with something like the World Serpent?

"Once you step into the snake's territory, no one can escape unscathed."

Faced with Peggy's question, Raven simply shook his head with a somber expression.

"But Hen clearly said that he was very powerful and that no one could hurt him."

Peggy pressed on, her voice trembling.

"That was probably just to put your mind at ease."

Raven sighed and said, "He's always like that; he likes to carry everything on his own shoulders."

Having witnessed the terror of the heroes of the past world's paradise, she did not believe that the boy could truly rival those monsters.

The two are not even in the same dimension.

Well, Raven's impression of the boy was still from a few years ago, and she couldn't understand this kind of thing at all.

This is the downside of leaving the version too early.

"how so……"

Peggy said incredulously, her body trembling.

"He's such a gentle person."

Thinking of how Gray Serpent had firmly rejected him and even stripped him of his codename "Raven," Raven shook his head, a helpless smile appearing on his lips.

Compared to the dark undertones of the World Serpent, the gentle-hearted boy seemed utterly out of place.

Thinking of this, Raven couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and his expression became serious again: "Peggy, now that you know Scar's true situation, do your feelings for him still remain unchanged?"

"I……"

Upon hearing Raven's question, a hint of hesitation flashed in Peggy's eyes.

For the boy who carries everything in the darkness, the feelings she harbors are far too fragile, so fragile that they cannot bear any hardship for the other person. Even a small thorn can wound her all over.

But then she remembered the boy's first smile in the snow, the way he coldly taught her how to use a gun, and his quiet sleeping face in the office...

Images flashed through her mind, and Peggy's hesitation vanished instantly.

I like marks.

Even if it means being shattered to pieces for this love, I will never change my mind!

Peggy said firmly, a flame-like light shining in her eyes.

The feelings she harbored were not something that could be easily bent.

Or rather, if she stopped at the mere sight of darkness around the boy, how could she be worthy of the boy who was bearing everything alone?

Even if the most important girl in Hen's heart isn't you?

Raven pressed on, his expression unwavering, his wine-red eyes growing even sharper.

Peggy: "Huh???"

No, now that we've come this far, shouldn't we be discussing how to make her beat Kiana and kick other Herrschers, and finally ascend to the throne of the main heroine?

Seeing Peggy's surprise, Raven couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

Even so, the raven showed no intention of changing its mind.

Although in the past, I thought that the boy would follow a pure love route, so that he could spend his life with his favorite white fluffy dumpling.

After all, as a woman, she still hoped that the young man could be more faithful and not flirt with other women.

That's so unfair to Kiana.

But after hearing about Mei's "sacrifice" from Theresa and others, and witnessing the various changes that had taken place in the world, Raven quickly realized that the world didn't have much time left.

The collapse is intensifying, and Destiny and Anti-Entropy have completely fallen under the control of the World Serpent... It can be said that the Stigmata Project, which is called saving the world but is actually destroying it, has been put on the agenda and will soon enter the formal implementation stage.

In a world where even the future is uncertain, clinging to any moral principles seems outdated and antiquated.

Moreover, since we've said we'd help the boy find happiness, we should naturally see it through to the end.

At least she believed that the boy did not reject Peggy.

Thinking it over, Raven took a deep breath, looked at the blonde girl in front of her, and said, "So, tell me your answer, Peggy..."

"..."

Facing the raven-like, scrutinizing gaze, Peggy clenched her fists and slowly opened her cherry-like lips, forcefully uttering a few words.

…………

Time returns to the present.

Looking at the sincere expression on the boy's face, Peggy became even more convinced that he was still under the control of the World Serpent.

Otherwise, why would the other party risk sharing information about the Herrschers with World Serpent?

Undoubtedly, this is because someone in the World Snakes is dissatisfied with the boy and wants to use this opportunity to force him to express his opinion!

Thinking about all the grievances the boy had suffered during this process, and looking at the gentle smile on the boy's face now, Peggy once again deeply understood the other person's strength and hardship.

For a moment, she felt that the huge concessions she had made for this were nothing at all.

After all, compared to what the boy was carrying, her grievances were far too insignificant.

Don't worry, Natasha, I will do my best to treat Hen well and make him feel happy!

Peggy clenched her fist silently and made a solemn vow in her heart.

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

On the other side, Raven walked with Kiana along the lakeside bathed in golden light, looking at the white-haired girl beside him who always had a vibrant smile, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Undeniably, Kiana's appearance is indeed outstanding.

But Raven believed that it was the other person's dazzling enthusiasm and energy that truly attracted the boy.

But even a girl like Kiana, after learning about everything the boy was carrying, probably wouldn't be able to laugh anymore.

Thinking about this, Raven vaguely understood why the boy didn't want to get too close to Kiana.

I'm sorry, Hen, although I know what you mean, I really can't bear to see you suffer all this alone...

With a deep sigh, Raven smiled gently and asked softly, "Kiana, how far have things progressed between you and Hen?"

"what???"

Upon hearing this, Kiana was startled, and her body stiffened involuntarily.

Is it really possible to talk about such a private topic so openly?

In an instant, Kiana's face turned red.

Even if there are a bunch of secrets hidden under the bed, her sense of shame can still easily reach its limit.

"It's okay, we're all girls."

As if seeing through the girl's shyness, Raven smiled and said, his expression softening, "Besides, I know quite a few secrets, so I might be able to give you some advice."

"Give me some advice..."

Overwhelmed by this incredible assist, Kiana became dizzy and disoriented, her mind filled only with the image of the boy being posed in various suggestive positions.

It took Kiana a while to snap out of her reverie. Her cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her eyelids, whispering, "We've only kissed a few times..."

Raven: “…”

Seeing how long Kiana had mentally prepared herself, she thought the two of them had done everything they should and shouldn't have done.

You've been together for years, and this is what you two have ended up doing?

Sure enough, if she didn't try, the boy would never take that step.

The raven realized this all too well once again.

"Kiana..."

Raven took a deep breath and then continued after a long pause, "Have you ever thought about marrying Hen?"

"what!?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana was even more shocked, her hands and feet becoming flustered. "This...this is too early, isn't it?"

She was only thinking about how to get closer to the boy, but Raven skipped everything and went straight to the final step.

"It's getting late."

Raven shook his head, his face devoid of any joking tone, and said, "You've known Hen for many years, so you should know what kind of person he is."

Or do you want him to go down that path with someone else?

Knowing the boy's overly gentle nature and his unwillingness to let those around him get hurt, Raven understood that only drastic measures could break through his defenses and allow him to completely let go of all his worries.

"No!"

Kiana immediately forgot all shame and shouted in a panic.

She simply could not accept the idea of ​​a young man marrying someone else!

Even if that person is Mei, she will never back down even a single step!

"So Kiana, are you sure you're ready to become Scar's wife?"

Raven's expression darkened slightly as he spoke.

"I……"

A moment of hesitation flashed across Kiana's face, but her expression quickly hardened. "I will try my best."

Even though she had never had this idea before, she was not against it happening.

Or rather, she was more afraid that the person who would take that step with the boy wouldn't be her.

"Simply trying to make an effort is far from enough."

Raven shook his head, his expression becoming extremely solemn. "Kiana, you should know that Hen is someone who always likes to carry everything on his own shoulders."

He will do everything in his power to prevent it from happening if you waver even slightly in your decision.

"Ah? Why?"

Kiana asked, puzzled.

She could sense the boy's feelings for her and knew that he wasn't an irresponsible person, so she simply couldn't understand why he would resist all of this.

"perhaps……"

Thinking about the boy's current status, Raven carefully chose his words before continuing, "It's because he always puts his own affairs last."

"Well……"

A hint of confusion flashed across Kiana's face; she keenly sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with this answer.

Despite Kaslana's consistently remarkable intelligence, the young girl was unable to unravel the connection between them.

"Kiana, I know this might be a bit harsh, but I hope you can be more proactive in your relationship with Hen."

As Raven spoke softly, a long sigh escaped its lips. "Hen has always been an incredibly kind child, unwilling to see those around him get hurt because of him."

That's why he always suppresses his emotions, not wanting anyone to be sad because of it..."

Raven believed that if it weren't for the interference of the Gray Serpent and the World Serpent, the boy's sincere feelings for Kiana would have made them a couple long ago.

Unfortunately, having habitually placed himself in darkness, the boy had clearly lost the courage to pursue happiness.
