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

Chapter 183 On this day, Theresa made a sacrifice.

Time returns to the present.

"Bishop Otto, are you really determined to do this?"

Gripping her white lance tightly, Durandal stared wide-eyed at the blond man before her, uttering her final question.

Even though he was aware of Otto's wicked nature, he still thought that he would definitely punish him when he appeared in front of him.

But when she actually faced this man, Durandal found that she still had a trace of hesitation in her heart.

After all, for the past ten years, she had always regarded him as a father figure who was also a mentor and friend.

"Do you really expect me to suddenly realize my mistakes, kneel before you with tears streaming down my face, confess my crimes one by one, and then join you in fighting against the Herrscher of Domination?"

Otto smiled and asked in return.

"In that case, I have no choice but to defeat you."

Taking a deep breath, Durandal's eyes flashed with determination, and her uniform quickly transformed into Heavenly Yuan Armor, its pitch-black color exuding a strong sense of danger.

"Hehe, then come on, Durandal."

"Let me see what kind of power you've obtained from [Walter White]."

With a smile, Otto raised his arm and lifted the gleaming golden greatsword in his hand.

boom!

Without saying anything more, Durandal answered with action, launching herself forward like a cannonball with a single step, swinging her lance in an arc towards the blond man.

Without hesitation, Otto transformed the Void Treasury into the form of Judas, and slammed the cross heavily on the ground, firmly establishing it in front of him like a shield.

bang——

The white lance crashed down in an instant, and the huge golden cross suddenly caved in, creating a deep crater. Otto's body was sent flying backward, crashing into a thick pillar and rolling several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough cough..."

Transforming the cross back into its greatsword form, Otto slowly rose, leaning on the Void Treasury, a hint of helplessness creeping onto his face. "As expected, Kaslana's power is still this unreasonable."

Even though this body is now the most combat-capable model in his entire inventory, it still appears so vulnerable in front of Durandal, the strongest Valkyrie.

Otto had no doubt that if he were to fight Durandal head-on, he probably wouldn't even last three minutes.

“You have no chance of winning against me now, Bishop Otto.”

With her lance held horizontally, Durandal strode toward the man and said, "Surrender, explain everything clearly, and then... I might give you a chance to leave with dignity."

As she spoke, Durandal looked at Otto with a complex and intense gaze.

Although he had considered killing Otto completely to prevent the world from suffering his ravages.

However, Durandal also knew in her heart that unless she could find Otto's consciousness center and completely destroy it, even if she could kill him countless times, the result would only be the destruction of a puppet of this former bishop.

"That's not necessarily true, Durandal."

With a light laugh, Otto looked up at the blonde girl before him, whose steady steps and unstoppable aura resembled a true Valkyrie, a faint smile still playing on his lips.

As if in response to the man's words, an incredibly surging golden flame suddenly erupted from the greatsword, roaring like a tidal wave and engulfing the blonde Valkyrie.

As Otto launched his attack using the mimicry of the heavenly fire, Durandal didn't even slow her pace. A pure black shield automatically appeared in front of her, blocking all the flames and preventing them from advancing any further.

Even with his Soul Steel Body and Void Treasury, Otto was still as weak and feeble as a child in front of the strongest Valkyrie who had already advanced to the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Durandal didn't even need to use the skills she had honed in countless battles; she could drive the former bishop to the brink of defeat with sheer brute force.

This is the vast difference in strength between the two.

Seeing that the mimicry of the heavenly fire was neutralized, Otto was not discouraged. His greatsword transformed back into a cross shape, and golden spears of light shot out, leaving trails of golden arcs in the air as they attacked Durandal from different angles.

when--

With a quick glance, Durandal gripped her lance with one hand and swiftly flicked it away, sending all the golden spears flying in the blink of an eye.

As Durandal drew ever closer, Otto's Void Treasury transformed once more, a golden lance appearing in his hand, and then...

Swah——

Without giving Otto a chance to continue struggling, Durandal thrust out her spear, knocking away the black abyss white flower that Otto had conjured, and the white lance pointed straight at the man's chest.

"Surrender, Bishop Otto, this is your last chance."

Taking a deep breath, Durandal looked at the blond man in front of her. At the same time, the purple tip of the Black Abyss White Flower spear also lit up, and terrifying energy capable of annihilating everything was brewing and spewing out from within.

"..."

Stared at by the Valkyrie with a sharp gaze, Otto sighed after a long while, raising his hands above his head. "Alright, alright, I admit I lost."

"As expected of my best student, Bianca!"

"..."

Hearing that familiar address, Durandal's eyes flashed with a hint of disorientation, but she quickly straightened up and shouted in a delicate voice, "Tell me, who else is colluding with the Herrscher of Domination? And what exactly is your purpose!?"

Although deliberately increasing the strength of Kiana and others is a common tactic used by someone, Durandal remembers that the Void Archives should have been handed over to Kevin in the last transaction.

Thinking of this, a deep anger welled up in Yulandel's azure eyes.

Even though she believed that Kiana and the others would not easily lose to the Herrscher of Domination, she still did not want them to encounter any danger.

After all, the tragic fate of the previous civilizations fighting against the Laws of Restraint is still fresh in our minds!

If Kiana and the others were injured or killed because she didn't arrive at the battlefield in time, she would never be able to forgive herself.

Not to mention, there might also be a reason related to [Walter White].

"This all started with my last deal with Kevin..."

Meeting Durandal's sharp gaze, Otto spoke leisurely.

"Keep it short and don't try to stall for time!"

Black Abyss White Flower leaned forward slightly, and Yulandel urged angrily.

She hadn't forgotten that Kiana and the others were currently fighting desperately against the Herrscher of Dominion.

As the person most suitable to fight against the Herrscher of Domination, every second she wasted on Otto was irresponsible to Kiana and the boy.

"Alright, alright! Since it's your request, Bianca, I'll do my best to comply."

With a hint of helplessness on his face, Otto quickly agreed, appearing quite resigned to being a prisoner.

However, outside Durandal's sight, large patches of golden feathers were slowly burning, releasing warm and pleasant golden light that soothed the Valkyrie's restless heart.

As he explained, Otto noticed the girl's furrowed brows gradually relaxing, and a sense of composure crept onto his face.

Facing Durandal, whose strength has increased by almost leaps compared to before, although he cannot directly use the mimicry of Feather Dust to modify her consciousness, he can still blur some of her perceptions.

For example, make this period of time seem shorter in the eyes of the girl.

Learn from your mistakes, Bianca.

Remember, when we meet again, you must fight with the determination to kill me...

Looking at the resolute blonde Valkyrie before him, Otto smiled and sighed inwardly.

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

Meanwhile, on the other side of the theater.

"Well--"

Just as Wendy recovered from the shock of the spatial teleportation, she saw the nun being attacked by a group of Otto dolls not far away. She couldn't help but shout, "Teacher Theresa!!"

"Wendy?"

While relying on Judas to establish a defensive line, Theresa was also fighting the puppets with a golden spear in her hand. When Theresa saw the girl arrive, she couldn't help but show some surprise.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wendy instantly drew the two short swords from her waist and moved swiftly to join the battle.

Swish!

But as soon as the girl made a move, three puppets jumped out from the side, each holding a ball of blue wind blades and attacking Wendy.

"Damn it! Get out of my way!"

Wendy brandished her short sword to block the wind blades, trying her best to drive back the puppets in front of her. However, faced with the puppets' seemingly impenetrable attack, she was forced to retreat step by step.

"Don't tell me to get out of here, this is our territory!"

"The ones who should really get out of here are you!"

A doll called out with a laugh, its tone still a slightly shrill female voice.

Although someone has completely taken control of all the Herrschers of Domination, since the puppets are now using Otto's face anyway, and it is Otto who is embarrassed by this voice, there is naturally no need to change it.

"..."

Looking at Otto's repulsive face and hearing his discordant female voice, Wendy couldn't help but frown, her irritation growing stronger.

"That's right, that's right, you are the despicable invaders!"

Showing no consideration for the girl's feelings, another doll joined in the clamor.

"You bunch of bastards! Where is Hen now!?"

A vein throbbed on Wendy's forehead as she angrily demanded an explanation, her gaze immediately filled with worry as she glanced in Theresa's direction.

Surrounded by a group of puppets, even Theresa, who possesses the strength of an S-class Valkyrie, was no match for them, let alone the third-generation leader who was not known for his combat prowess.

The thought of the boy's current predicament made Wendy even more anxious. She wished she could tear all the dolls to shreds and rush to the boy's side to protect him.

Unfortunately, all the girl's struggles were in vain against the Herrscher of Domination, who had received an epic-level enhancement, and instead only exposed more of her weaknesses.

"Hehehe! How pathetic!"

You can barely take care of yourself, yet you have the energy to worry about others?

Another doll jumped out, forcing Wendy back even further, emitting a mocking laugh.

"Don't worry, that leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance has already fallen, and it will be your turn soon."

However, if you can hold out longer, you might even get his doll to send you off on your final journey!

A puppet laughed loudly as it hurled a wind blade at the girl.

"You're talking nonsense! Hen is not such a weak person!"

Enraged upon hearing this, Wendy deflected the incoming wind blade with her short sword and moved swiftly toward the puppet that had insulted the boy, her short sword gleaming with an incomparably sharp azure light.

In her rage, the girl failed to notice that another doll had already planned her route, and a wisp of wind blade was trembling and humming in its hand.

"Wendy! Watch out on the left!"

In the critical moment, Theresa noticed the girl's situation and threw her golden spear with all her might, completely piercing through a puppet that was trying to ambush her student.

Swah——

The short sword sliced ​​through the chest of the doll in front of her. Wendy turned her head and saw another doll with a golden spear piercing its chest, and... the nun who was also in danger.

Bang!

A vortex of wind suddenly slammed into Theresa's back, causing the nun to stagger slightly, and more puppets immediately swarmed forward, trying to take her down completely.

"Well……"

With a gritted groan, Theresa quickly grabbed Judas beside her and swung him around forcefully, barely managing to send the group of puppets flying.

However, this also exposed a greater vulnerability in her body. More than ten spherical vortexes shot at the nun like bullets, causing her to lose her balance instantly. A pool of red blood spurted from her mouth and landed conspicuously on the ground.

Swish!

The two puppets rushed over, slicing Theresa's wrist with wind blades while kicking the cross hard, sending it flying far away and crashing to the ground, creating a huge crater.

Unconcerned about the damage to the theater, a black and gold mechanical arm suddenly fell from the sky and tightly grabbed Theresa, who had lost Judah.

"Teacher Theresa!!"

Watching the nun being dragged by an arm and flying into the sky, disappearing quickly, Wendy couldn't help but gasp.

"Hehehe...

"We were able to subdue this nun so quickly, all thanks to you, big sister!"

After briefly pausing their attack on Wendy, one of the puppets said with a smile.
