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

Having learned a thing or two about how to get along with family, she now knew how to obtain the most accurate information about Kiana.

"elder sister!"

Upon seeing this, Kiana immediately pouted.

"While there are some impacts, they are not serious for Kiana."

Shihen shook the little white-fuzzy ball's hand under the conference table and explained with a smile, "Furthermore, we will actively search for the whereabouts of the Herrscher of Domination and defeat it as soon as possible."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Durandal breathed a slight sigh of relief. "If there is any news from Schicksal, I will inform you immediately."

As she spoke, Durandal pursed her lips, a hint of hesitation on her face, before finally saying hesitantly, "I will also try my best to get it from the World Serpent."

Compared to Kiana's safety, she felt that seeking help from Welt White wasn't such an unacceptable thing.

At least in dealing with Honkai and Herrscher matters, the other party does indeed possess extraordinary abilities and knows many secrets that she is unaware of.

"Sister, you..."

Kiana's expression turned complicated as she instantly realized who Durandal was trying to win over.

Ever since learning that Siegfried had been "killed" by Walter White, she has made defeating Walter White and reclaiming the Judgment of Heavenly Fire her greatest goal.

Now that she has reunited with her sister Durandal and the Judgment of Heavenly Fire has returned to her hands, the goal of liberating Durandal has been added to her repertoire.

But now, Durandal is forced to bow to her enemy for her sake...

Kiana clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with resentment.

"Heh~"

On the other hand, unlike the simple-minded Kiana, Mei only let out a cold sneer when she saw Durandal's conflicted look.

He's already in that kind of relationship with Walter White, and this guy is still trying to act?

He says he'll try his best, but if this female knight just blows a breeze on his pillow, does he think [Walter White] would refuse such a thing?

"Ok??"

Unaware that her image in Mei's eyes had completely collapsed, Durandal cast a puzzled look at the girl.

Mei simply stared straight ahead, showing no intention of explaining.

"By the way, Mei, what are you doing here?"

Kiana glanced at the two of them again, but not understanding the reason behind it, she didn't get involved. She simply turned her eyes slightly and asked the question that had been bothering her.

As the most direct person in charge of Schicksal now, Durandal's appearance is not surprising.

Komei...

The other party rarely attends as a representative of destiny.

"I am, after all, one of Schicksal's S-rank Valkyries, so why can't I be here?"

With a matter-of-fact expression, she asked in return, while Mei couldn't help but steal a glance at the blonde Valkyrie beside her, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Having always viewed Durandal as a symbol of decadence, she was naturally unwilling to admit that her attendance was at the invitation of Durandal.

not to mention……

Mei's gaze immediately turned to the black-haired boy diagonally opposite her, her eyes becoming calm and gentle, but a fierce flame ignited deep within her pair of purple eyes.

Since the Herrscher of Ice incident ended, she hasn't seen the boy for over a month.

Even though they are separated by thousands of miles this time, it can still alleviate her longing to some extent.

"Haha~ Mei, you're right..."

Kiana scratched her head, a sheepish smile on her face, still avoiding eye contact with the Queen of Lightning.

"Mei, you should also be careful."

The power to dominate a Herrscher may very well be the ability to seize the power of other Herrschers, and you may be among their targets.

Sensing the burning passion in the girl's eyes, Shihen smiled and gently gave her some advice.

"They've come at just the right time."

I also want to see whether their dominance is superior, or my conquest is stronger.

She spoke in a cold voice, her eyebrows slightly raised, a sharp edge naturally appearing on her face.

Ever since she heard the news that the boy had been ambushed by a Herrscher, she had been burning with anger.

"The abilities of the Herrscher of Domination have not been fully explored yet, so it's best to be cautious."

Shihen shook his head.

"Well, I will."

Faced with the boy's second piece of advice, Mei nodded gently, her expression becoming much more obedient.

Even after regaining her fierceness as the Thunder Queen, the girl's gentle nature remained unchanged.

"But why didn't they take away my other powers?"

Kiana raised her small hand and asked, her delicate face full of confusion.

"This involves thirteen possible scenarios."

Shihen's expression hardened slightly as he spoke.

Since it is a war council, as the first contact person with the Herrscher of Domination, he naturally has to play his role as a strategist.

"Huh? Thirteen kinds?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana became even more bewildered.

She thought there were only one or two possible explanations at most.

"The first type is that the powers of the rulers have a cooldown period..."

Looking at the completely petrified white fur ball, Shihen gently shook his head and began to explain, revealing the unique style of the third-generation leader of Anti-Entropy.

Chapter 174 Mei and the silly goose discuss true feelings without wine; the young dumpling talks about the future in a secret room.

Destiny, Floating Island.

After the meeting ended, the large conference room was briefly darkened before being brightened again, but the seats were empty once more, with no familiar faces in sight.

Staring blankly at the spot where the boy's projection had once stood, Mei remained lost in thought for a long time, only a faint smile curving her lips.

Although they couldn't actually meet, knowing that the boy and the others were still safe and sound was enough to comfort her.

Moreover, the fact that the boy was able to gather so much information about the Herrscher of Domination in just one encounter, even though most of it is still in the speculation stage, is enough to prove his ability.

Yes, no wonder he's the person she likes.

Thinking of the boy's spirited appearance just now, Mei's smile softened even more.

"...Raiden Mei? Raiden Mei!"

Hearing the increasingly loud shouts around her, Mei realized that the conference room had become empty, and only she and Durandal remained in the room.

"Are you alright? Do you want to go and rest for a bit?"

Seeing the black-haired girl still looking dazed, Durandal asked with concern.

Even though she didn't understand why Mei always treated her so coldly, she still cared a lot about the girl.

After all, the other party was partly responsible for her getting caught up in the World Serpent, so she should take responsibility for it.

"nothing."

Mei shook her head slightly with a cold and arrogant expression, but when she met the gentle gaze of the blonde Valkyrie, the coldness on her face quickly melted away, and she said softly, "Thank you for this."

If it weren't for the other party's invitation, she would have had to wait much longer to see the boy.

Even theoretically speaking, she is one of the S-rank Valkyries of Destiny, and is fully capable of communicating with the boy through this identity.

Knowing how she acquired this identity, Mei naturally couldn't use this power with ease.

She is a reasonable person, unlike that white-masked person who acts recklessly by relying on power.

"This is what I should do, you don't need to be so polite."

As she spoke softly, Durandal's mind drifted back to Kiana's wedding photo, and she couldn't help but look away, no longer daring to meet Mei's gaze.

Although it's unclear whether this behavior counts as appeasement, Mei's anger should decrease somewhat after she learns the truth in the future.

With unease in her heart, Durandal couldn't help but feel a bit weary.

Honestly, she herself has never even had a proper relationship, yet now she has to work hard to clean up the mess left by Kiana's actions.

Thinking to herself, Durandal bit her lip and asked, "Raiden Mei, what does it feel like to like someone?"

As she spoke, Durandal looked at the girl in front of her with a hint of curiosity.

Even though she has never had a romantic relationship, in her mind, fidelity in a relationship is still very important.

Therefore, she simply couldn't understand the emotional state of Kiana, the boy, and Mei.

If we were to force ourselves to think about it, the only explanation would be that the CPU was overloaded and burned out.

However, for Kiana's future happiness, Durandal must fully understand these things in order to prevent any problems from arising and to avoid the complete breakdown of their emotional bond.

This is her duty as the older sister!

"..."

Upon hearing this question, Mei was taken aback, and her gaze toward Durandal instantly became inexplicable.

Is her relationship with Durandal good enough that they can discuss emotional issues?

On the other side, noticing the strange look in Mei's eyes, Durandal's face showed obvious confusion.

After a long while, before Durandal's face was completely covered in confusion, Mei slowly spoke.

"Liking someone means that no matter when, as long as you can see them, you can feel at ease and joy from the bottom of your heart."

Even though the future is full of uncertainties, I will try my best to move towards tomorrow with him.

Mei looked towards the spot where the boy's projection had been, and said softly, a happy smile unconsciously curving her lips.

Although she was ashamed of Durandal's depravity and couldn't understand why she would like a vicious villain like Welt White, she still felt indebted to the Valkyrie and was willing to share her views on love.

"What if the person you like also likes someone else?"

A hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, and Durandal continued to ask.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mei's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

She suspected that Durandal was referring to something specific.

Is this a way of showing off that she has the exclusive affection of Welt White, while she can only share the boy's feelings with Kiana?

In an instant, Mei's fist hardened.

Even though the boy was somewhat indecisive in matters of the heart and his strength was not as great as [Walter White]'s, in terms of his conduct, values, and beliefs, the other party was thousands or even tens of thousands of times better than an extremely evil person like [Walter White]!

"Um... I was just curious, that's why I asked casually. It's definitely not because Kiana did anything again..."

Sensing Mei's rising anger, Durandal quickly explained.

Mei: "Huh??"

Did she just hear something that can't be ignored?

"Well……"

Meeting Mei's suddenly sharp gaze, Yulandel couldn't help but take a few steps back.

She felt that Kiana was most likely in trouble.

I'm sorry, Kiana, I really didn't mean it...

Subconsciously looking away, Durandal's heart was instantly filled with guilt and self-blame.

Even if Hen still likes Kiana, my feelings will not change.

The feelings between us are not something you can easily sow discord between us, Durandal!
