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

"Yes! If it weren't for you giving us the power of the Herrscher of Wind, we wouldn't be as strong as we are now."

Another puppet chimed in.

"Besides, after losing your teacher, you should be able to understand some of the pain we felt back then, right?"

One of the dolls said with a coquettish laugh, her voice noticeably more childish than the others.

“Anqi…”

For a fleeting moment, Wendy thought of the doll's host in Queenstown, and a hint of daze appeared in her eyes.

"That's right~"

Smiling, she replied, her body shrinking to the size of a little girl with brown hair. "Come on, come with us, big sister~"

This way, you'll be able to fully understand us and also see the people you want to see.

As she spoke, the doll stretched out her palm toward Wendy, her innocent face full of a pure smile.

"..."

As her gaze swept over the figures of the puppets, which rapidly transformed into the likeness of Angie, Wendy's grip on her short sword tightened even more. "You...you bunch of bastards!"

"big sister?"

He tilted his head and asked, a puzzled expression on the doll's face.

"I am a Valkyrie who fights for humanity!"

Shouting angrily, Wendy immediately rushed towards the nearest doll.

Even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Wendy believed that the boy, like Theresa, had fought to the very last moment.

They may even still be stubbornly refusing to give in.

If even the person she trusts and values ​​most is like this, how can she easily admit defeat?

Moreover, they lost to these counterfeit products?

Out of the corner of her eye, Wendy caught sight of the golden cross left behind by Theresa. Thinking of how Theresa had tried her best to protect her even when she was in danger, Wendy's eyes gradually lit up, and a faint but real breeze arose beneath her feet.

Chapter 184 The Herrschers' Complete Defeat

Meanwhile, it dominates the other side of the theater.

"It seems that Kiana and the others have been teleported to different places."

As he looked around at the theater’s elegant yet eerie decor, Fu Hua pushed up his glasses and said.

Kiana's power has also been taken away.

Recalling the anomaly during the teleportation, Bronya's expression turned slightly serious. "Class monitor, what should we do now?"

As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously drifted to the blank space beside her, a hint of worry flashing in Bronya's eyes.

Since joining the battle, although she had been separated from Seele before, the separation from Seele still made her feel anxious when facing such insidious and cunning enemies as the Herrscher of Dominion.

I wonder who Seele is with now...

Thinking of that girl who always appeared weak, Bronya's heart grew increasingly restless.

"Huh? What else can we do?"

"Of course, we'll smash those Herrschers to pieces and then rescue Shihen and the others!"

She clenched her fist and said this, her face full of a matter-of-fact expression.

They're just a bunch of puppets. Even if she were all alone, she could easily crush those annoying guys.

"Xiao Shi, don't underestimate those Heralds of Domination. They are not simple now."

Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge in this state, Fu Hua couldn't help but remind her.

"That's right! We are no longer the weak people we used to be!"

A voice of agreement rang out, and a doll with Otto's appearance jumped out.

"Thanks to the generous gift of your former bishop, we have now been completely elevated to godhood!"

He shouted loudly, and another puppet jumped out.

"Prepare to face your judgment, you traitors who have strayed from the path of destruction!"

As the sound rang out, more and more puppets emerged from the shadows, each holding a dark blue wind blade the size of a millstone.

Swah——

The next second, nearly a hundred wind blades spun out and flew out, covering the area where the two Valkyries stood like raindrops.

Upon seeing the vast expanse of wind blades instantly fill their field of vision, Shi Bao frowned slightly. He immediately shielded Fu Hua in front of him, raised a finger, and shouted, "Old antique, charge! Blow them up!"

Fu Hua: "..."

With a slight sigh, Fu Hua twisted forward without hesitation, her arms outstretched and swirling. Her seemingly slow but actually fast movements created countless afterimages, drawing countless wind blades to deviate.

"Don't underestimate us!"

Seeing through Fu Hua's plan, a puppet suddenly stepped forward, unleashing an invisible storm from its hand, which brought forth numerous wind blades that shot towards Fu Hua.

Abandoning the method of using skillful force, Fu Hua could only sink his waist and pull back his hips, throwing a heavy punch forward with all his might.

Bang!

The force of the fist collided directly with countless wind blades, and the two were annihilated at the same time, unleashing a terrifying impact that sent Fu Hua and the puppet flying backwards.

"Bronya, be careful! Some of these dolls contain more than one Herrscher Core!"

"I skillfully rolled over to dissipate the force," Fu Hua said with a long breath, her gaze suddenly sharpening as she looked at the puppets in front of her.

In the exchange just now, she had already sensed the immense Honkai energy of that puppet, far surpassing that of the other Herrschers of Domination.

Undoubtedly, this is the result of multiple Herrscher of Dominion cores being stacked together.

"Is the strength of a single individual increased by stacking more cores?"

Bronya understood the meaning behind Fu Hua's words in an instant, and her expression became more serious.

No wonder the Herrscher of Domination had already retrieved all the cores, but she and Fu Hua had never seen any normal dolls other than the Otto model.

That's right!

We've brought a full five hundred men with us to deal with you!

"How about it, don't you feel honored?"

The puppet that had just clashed with Fu Hua asked with a smile.

After all, aside from the power of the Herrscher, Fu Hua is undoubtedly among the strongest of them all, and she should be treated with utmost care.

"Haha! It seems you all know how powerful I, the Herrscher of Knowledge, am."

"If you know what's good for you, get out of my way right now, and I might spare your lives!"

Wiping his nose, Shi Bao shouted loudly.

"..."

Bronya glanced at the Herrscher of Knowledge again, remained silent for a while, and then said helplessly, "Setting up such a show of force, it's obvious they're determined to take us down, isn't it?"

Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder if this Herrscher of Knowledge had some connection to Kiana.

Shi Bao: "Huh?"

"How arrogant!"

Now, let us show you our true power!

With a chorus of shouts, a hundred puppets rushed forward simultaneously, instantly surrounding Fu Hua and Bronya, unleashing countless punches, kicks, and wind blades upon them.

"what……"

Bronya drew her long-unused Xuanyuan Sword and struggled to fend off the puppets' attacks. Her breathing quickly became heavy. "Class monitor, we need to get rid of these puppets as soon as possible!"

Even though they are all made of Soul Steel, these puppets, which are directly controlled by someone, are clearly very different from the puppets that Anti-Entropy encountered for the first time.

Just like ordinary A-rank Valkyries and Tower Girl, they are not even in the same league in terms of skills and combat experience.

Moreover, these hundred puppets are like a well-trained army, forming an incredibly coordinated battle formation. They can work together to defend against Fu Hua and Bronya's fatal blows, and they can always keep the two Valkyries surrounded by multiple puppets.

In this situation, Fu Hua and Bronya were only wasting their energy and were unable to inflict any real damage on these puppets.

If this continues, the only outcome will be that the two men are exhausted and captured.

"..."

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Fu Hua, who also understood the severity of the current situation, couldn't help but look grave.

Faced with these dolls whose individual strength was in no way inferior to elite A-rank Valkyries, and some even comparable to Rita, she and Bronya did have a way to break the deadlock, but...

Once they use the power of the Herrscher, even if they can eliminate most of the puppets before their power is taken away, it's hard to say whether it will be beneficial or detrimental to the overall situation.

However, if they don't use their Herrscher powers to break free from their current predicament, only a terrible ending awaits them.

"So you're admitting defeat already? Where are your Herrscher powers? Show them to us!"

"Exactly! If you don't use it now, you'll never have another chance to use it!"

As if they had guessed what the two girls were thinking, the puppets maintained their suppression of the two girls while laughing and mocking them.

"Ugh! I'm so angry!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Bao, who had temporarily taken refuge on Fu Hua, immediately flew into a rage, "You guys, if you're so capable, don't use your underhanded abilities. Let's have a fair and just competition!"

"Hehehe~"

"We're all Herrschers, don't you find it ridiculous to say something like that?"

Upon hearing this, one of the dolls burst into laughter.

"That's right! Our power was created to punish you traitors. Now it's your turn to taste the bitterness of weakness!"

The other puppets chimed in, their shouts echoing the cries, as wind blades intertwined and weaved through the space, forming a massive, impenetrable net.

"Well--"

Feeling the sudden increase in pressure from the puppets, Bronya gritted her teeth. "Class monitor, Bronya will try her best to eliminate as many of these puppets as possible and open a passage."

"Bronya..."

Fu Hua instinctively wanted to hesitate, but seeing the beads of sweat on the gray-haired loli's forehead, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Unlike her, who is a fusion warrior, Bronya's physical strength is far inferior.

If they don't make a decision soon, they may not even have a chance to struggle anymore.

Seeing this, Bronya did not hesitate any longer. Her armor instantly switched to Herrscher form, and gear-shaped golden patterns suddenly lit up in her eyes. Floating cannons also quickly spread out in the air.

Bronya glanced at the floating cannons that almost filled every empty space in the air, a resolute glint in her eyes, and shouted sharply, "Fire!"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, hundreds of floating cannons lit up simultaneously, and blazing beams of light rained down on the puppets.

Having already gambled on the possibility of having her power seized by the Herrscher of Domination, Bronya's attack this time was completely unreserved, and she used the core of the Herrscher of Reason to its fullest extent.

However, when faced with the full force of the third Herrscher of Reason, the puppets smiled, and golden spatial wormholes suddenly opened up around them.

call out--

The blazing white beam of light fell in an instant, but the terrifying attack, powerful enough to sink a small island, vanished completely into the wormhole, causing no harm to the puppet.

"Damn it! How is this possible!?"

Upon seeing this, Bronya's eyes widened instantly, her usually expressionless face filled with shock.

Normally, even if a Herrscher of Domination is able to seize power, it will still take some time to adapt.

But right now, it's less than half an hour before the other side seizes the power of the Herrscher of the Void!

"Alright, now you can guess where those attacks will land?"

With a light laugh, the dolls' smiles grew even more arrogant.

In an instant, Fu Hua and Bronya's bodies tensed up.

"This is the time of judgment!"

The two were not kept waiting long. The puppets shouted in unison and snapped their fingers in a very appropriate manner.
