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

Shihen felt that he seemed to have taken on a burden that a leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance should not have.

"Hehehe..."

Upon hearing the boy's words, the girl and the doll burst into laughter, their sweet voices filled with undisguised malice. "Indeed, it was the right thing to arrest you first, big brother."

Although you are indeed just a weakling hiding behind those traitors, you are of extraordinary importance to them.

"Wouldn't it be really interesting to have you join us?"

"Don't even think about it!"

"If you want to attack Hen, you'll have to get past me first!"

Shouting angrily, Wendy charged towards the Herrscher of Domination without hesitation.

Having regained her fighting spirit, she naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for her doom.

"Then give it a try, you traitor!"

With a light laugh, the girl and the doll simultaneously charged towards Wendy.

Swish!

The ten-meter distance passed in the blink of an eye, and Wendy quickly engaged in battle with the girl and the doll.

As soon as the two clashed, Wendy immediately noticed the unusual behavior of the Herrscher of Domination before her.

The opponent... seems unusually weak?

The black-clad, blonde-haired doll with a black blindfold covering her eyes was capable of rivaling an A-rank Valkyrie in strength and speed, but her combat skills were surprisingly poor, as if she had never experienced any decent battles before.

The other one, Anqi, seemed to be an ordinary person completely at heart.

No, in terms of physical fitness alone, the girl is still stronger than the average person, but at best she is only at the level of a reserve Valkyrie.

With this level of power, how dare this Herrscher of Domination attack her and the boy?

Wendy grew increasingly suspicious, but her movements were anything but slow.

Easily dodging an attack from both the girl and the doll, Wendy delivered a powerful kick to the doll's chest, sending it flying.

On the other side, as if attacked to the same degree, the girl's body was also thrown high into the air, her chest slightly dented.

Wendy: "???"

"How heartless you are, big sister~"

However, I can understand how you feel, big sister.

"If you can kill me, the world will be one less person who resents you."

Her facial muscles twitched, revealing considerable pain, but the girl and the doll's voices were full of laughter, "So, please kill me, big sister."

Just like how you killed my parents before…

As she spoke, the girl and the doll lunged at Wendy again, their movements slightly stiff as if they were being manipulated by some invisible threads.

"you……"

Upon seeing this, Wendy's expression changed.

Only then did she realize the true conspiracy of the Herrscher before her.

Like the previous out-of-control mechs, both the girl and the doll are in a state of being manipulated.

To completely stop the doll from moving, it must be completely destroyed.

However, if the doll is destroyed, Angie will also lose her life.

Although Wendy knew in her heart that Angie's sacrifice was permissible under these circumstances, and that no one familiar with the threat of Honkai could blame her for it.

But looking at the girl's youthful face, which was at most twelve years old, Wendy couldn't help but hesitate.

Swish!

As if knowing the girl's soft heart, several more puppets emerged from the darkness of the theater and pounced on the boy without hesitation.

"mark!!"

Unable to contain herself, Wendy shouted, immediately wanting to step aside and help the boy.

"Don't rush, big sister, play with Angie a little longer~"

With giggles and the same sound, the girl and the doll together blocked Wendy's path, "Or, big sister, you can just kill me, okay?"

"……hateful!"

Looking at the girl and doll in front of her, who she couldn't decide whether to hit or not, Wendy could only grit her teeth and mutter curses under her breath.

On the other side, Wendy was held up by the Angels, and Shihen was quickly surrounded by the three puppets.

"Oh ho ho~ Big brother, you'd better work harder!"

As the leader of Anti-Entropy, this level of strength isn't enough!

The three puppets attacked the boy together, and simultaneously chuckled.

Shi Hen: “…”

He sensed that these rulers were somewhat ill.

They've already lured him to the Domination Theater, why not just have hundreds of Domination puppets gang up on him?

Is this someone looking down on him?!

Although he is not known for his combat prowess, and Eden Star was separated from Queenstown by the Herrscher using spatial power, he certainly doesn't have the right to be arrogant in his current state.

But no matter what, he still felt that these Herrschers were getting a bit too arrogant.

With a slight sigh, Shihen glanced at Wendy, who was being blocked by another pair of Herrschers of Dominion, and began to consider the feasibility of sacrificing himself.

Judging from the situation at Mount Taixu last time, he was able to unleash some of Wendy's potential.

However, the inability to bring Theresa in right now makes things a bit less secure.

"Hehehe~ Don't count on that traitor who has lost her power, she can't help you."

Surrender obediently and become one of us, Leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance!

They shouted in unison, and the three puppets intensified their attacks.

Bang!

With one hand raised, Shihen blocked the fist of one of the puppets. He kicked the second puppet away, but he still couldn't dodge in time and was punched in the chest by the third puppet. He groaned and took several steps back.

"Stop daydreaming, Lawyer!"

I will never yield to you!

Wiping away the faint trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, Shihen said in a firm tone, "Moreover, I believe in Wendy, and I also believe in Kiana and the others."

Your plot will never succeed!

As he spoke, Shihen's eyes shone with an incredibly bright light, a light that reflected his undeniable bond with Kiana and the others.

As the third leader of Anti-Entropy, even if he were to lose, he had to preserve his dignity and integrity and not give it up too easily.

That would be so embarrassing.

"Heh! Let's see how long you can last, Leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance!"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the dolls' attitude turned completely cold, and their all-out attack pushed the boy into a dangerous situation.

Chapter 172 Wendy Fails to Advance Again

In the real world, in Queenstown.

There was no time to safely retreat to the Oceania branch base. Upon learning of the situation at the camp, Theresa and her group could only rush to the Queenstown camp to take charge of the situation.

Upon quickly arriving at the camp, Theresa saw the Star of Eden carefully stored away by the Anti-Entropy employees and couldn't help but frown: "Did Time Trace and Wendy really disappear together?"

Having read a lot of information about the Herrschers of Domination from previous civilizations, she couldn't recall any mention of the Herrschers of Domination having the ability to teleport.

Is the record left by the previous civilization wrong, or have the Herrschers of Domination in this era evolved new abilities?

And that girl who became the Herrscher of Dominion...

Theresa glanced at the serious-looking nun beside her, who looked worried, and forced a smile to reassure her, "Don't worry, no matter what the situation, we will do our best to ensure Angie's safety."

Even without prior communication with the boy, Theresa still believed that if there was even the slightest chance of saving the boy named Angie, the boy and Wendy would not give up.

"Thank you, Miss Theresa."

Hearing Theresa's words, the nun's worry did not lessen much, but she still said in as sincere a tone as possible, "I'm so sorry, we didn't expect Angie to do such a thing. She is usually very well-behaved."

As she spoke, the nun's expression grew increasingly somber.

Although she didn't know the boy's exact identity, she could tell that he was a very important person.

If these people who use strange weapons start to hold a grudge, everyone in Queenstown will definitely have a hard time.

Moreover, the boy had helped Queenstown a lot in the past, and she didn't want anything to happen to him, both morally and logically.

Thinking of this, and recalling Angie's usual well-behaved demeanor, the nun felt even more tormented.

She has always adhered to her religious beliefs and has been working hard to care for the homeless children in Queenstown after the disaster six months ago. She simply cannot understand why such a thing could happen.

"Because this is the Honkai..."

As if guessing the nun's feelings at that moment, Theresa sighed deeply.

"Collapse?"

The nun asked, puzzled.

"Yes, a natural disaster that can distort people's will and manipulate their minds."

She explained softly, trying to keep her expression from appearing too somber, "We've dealt with this kind of enemy many times and have a wealth of experience with them."

As she spoke, Theresa couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Although he wasn't particularly strong, upon closer examination, the boy did indeed play a significant role in every Herrscher-slaying battle.

Moreover, the boy eventually developed close relationships with almost every Herrscher.

It would be no exaggeration for the other party to even claim that "no one understands the Herrscher better than him."

In conclusion, the young man seems to have far too much experience dealing with Herrschers.

Thinking of this, Theresa quickly shook her head to dismiss the strange thought and said seriously, "Don't worry, we will do our best to bring back the original Angie."

"Thank you, and I hope those two children are safe and sound."

As she made the sign of the cross on her chest, the nun spoke sincerely, her face, etched with the marks of time, radiating deep compassion.

"Most definitely."

Theresa answered softly, her faint smile seemingly possessing a healing power that instantly relaxed the expression on the nun's face.

After calming the people in the camp, Theresa walked over to the red-haired Valkyrie who was fiddling with various detection devices, frowned, and asked, "Himeko, have you found anything here?"

"No."

Biting her nails, Himeko's face grew increasingly grim. "Based on the detection results, we can only find that the spatial curvature here has been abnormal."

But to truly find out where Shihen and the others were moved to, we'll probably have to wait for Kiana to return.

Despite the addition of the Herrscher of the Void and the significant increase in Anti-Entropy's spatial technology, the ability to freely open spatial portals remains a privilege reserved solely for a certain white-haired girl.

"Kiana..."

Thinking of the white-haired girl who is still thousands of kilometers away dealing with another Honkai disaster, Theresa couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

This time, they were truly tricked by the Herrscher of Domination.

After all, who could have imagined that the Herrscher of Domination not only actually infiltrated their ranks, but also possessed spatial authority similar to that of the Herrscher of the Void?

Even if they did know this, let alone lack relevant intelligence, it would be incredibly difficult to guard against the other side.

"Hopefully, Shihen and the others can hold on a little longer..."

Theresa clenched her fists involuntarily and let out a deep sigh.

Even if Kiana tried her best, it would still take her several tens of minutes to reduce the threat in that city to a level where she could leave safely.

Faced with the Herrscher of Domination whose abilities have undergone unknown evolution, can Shihen and Wendy really hold out for so long?
