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

With a smile, Shihen looked up at the night sky with tenderness and fervor.

"Well, I see."

Nodding gently and speaking earnestly, Wendy's gaze towards the boy unconsciously intensified, as if she wanted to firmly remember this scene and never forget it again.

"However, Wendy, you shouldn't push yourself too hard."

Sometimes, it's okay to rely on us a little.

Holding the girl's soft hand, Shihen gently comforted her.

"Um……"

Responding softly, Wendy obediently leaned closer, her cheek resting gently on the boy's shoulder.

Shi Hen: “…”

He wasn't referring to this kind of physical dependence!

Feeling helpless, but sensing the soft and warm fragrance of the girl beside him, Shihen still thoughtfully adjusted his position to make Wendy more comfortable.

…………

After the flashback in her mind finished, Wendy felt as if a surge of power was welling up inside her, and she struggled to stand up.

"As a Valkyrie, I have indeed made unforgivable mistakes and caused many tragedies."

But some people always believed in me, comforted me, and encouraged me, helping me understand what true maturity and strength are.

As Wendy gazed intently at the Herrscher of Domination, speaking each word carefully, she glanced subconsciously at the boy still bound in the air, her eyes immediately gleaming with a sun-like blue light. "And now, it's time for me to give my answer!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a hurricane surged violently from beneath Wendy's feet, whipping her long black hair into the wind and making the girl's tattered armor look brand new.

All of this demonstrates that the Herrscher of Wind, who has been missing for a long time, has been reborn here!

Chapter 188 Anna the Duckling Recovers, Two Hopes Separated, Defying Life and Death

boom--

With a deafening roar, Wendy rejoined the battlefield, accompanied by an endless storm.

Even as merely the Herrscher of Wind, Wendy's powers are insufficient to rival those of the Herrscher of Domination.

However, with Kiana's lead, the Herrschers' acquisition of various powers began to show flaws, which inadvertently reduced the difficulty for the girls to break free of their constraints, allowing Wendy to seize back more power.

The wind fanned the flames, and the Herrscher's body was completely engulfed by the fire.

"Damn it! Can't you guys just accept being losers?!"

Perhaps seeing the situation gradually spiraling out of control, the Herrscher of Dominion roared in anger.

"The courage to face difficulties head-on, even in the face of adversity, is the most precious quality of humankind."

Those of you who don't understand this will never be able to defeat us!

With a loud shout, Wendy swung her short sword, and a tornado rose from the ground, engulfing the Herrscher of the Void within it.

"You are the ones who should fail!"

We are the will of a thousand people, the collective evil of a thousand, how could we possibly lose to you lot!

With a furious shout, the Herrscher of the Void swept her staff, and a black and white beam of light surged through the entire theater, spinning once and annihilating all the flames and storms. Kiana and Wendy were forced to retreat and temporarily avoid the attack.

Even though three of the powers have been taken back, the power of five Herrschers still remains within her body, allowing her to continue her strong dominance.

"If we're going to compete on numbers, then let's test the will of Bronya's 300,000 people!"

A firm voice rang out as Bronya stood up again, the skirt belonging to the Herrscher of Reason reappearing on her body, and an incomparably dazzling golden light shone in her gray eyes.

“At one time, Bronya did not understand why Mr. Welt would entrust the power of the Herrscher of Reason to her, nor did she believe that she was capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the Herrscher of Reason.”

But there was one person who always believed in Bronya, believed that she could become an outstanding Herrscher of Reason, and strived to support her on her path forward.

As she spoke, Bronya looked up at the boy, then gently placed her hand on her chest, as if she could still feel the intense throbbing from the Herrscher's core.

In the first collapse of Berlin in 1953, along with the birth of the Herrscher of Reason, 300,000 Berliners tragically perished.

However, for some unknown reason, the will of these people did not completely dissipate, but was imprinted deep within this core, becoming an echo and a guiding light for generation after generation of agents of the Law.

It once helped the first Herrscher, Welt Joyce, escape the effects of the Honkai, making him the first Herrscher of this era to fight for humanity.

He also provided assistance to Welt Young on several occasions, helping him to rebuild his body after the Second Honkai Impact and achieve the miracle of "Yang Sit-ups".

Now, having upheld the boy's trust in himself, Bronya has successfully touched those echoes and achieved a true resonance with the Herrscher core.

From this moment on, Bronya truly became the third-generation Herrscher of Reason, rather than a temporary host of the Herrscher of Reason's core.

Sensing the conviction of 300,000 people within her, Bronya's gaze hardened: "Herrscher of Domination, witness the true will of humanity."

Eden Star, unleash full power!

As soon as she finished speaking, Bronya slightly raised her hand, and a bright blue star quickly condensed in the girl's palm.

With the resonance of the will of 300,000 people, the bottleneck that had troubled Bronya in the past no longer exists, and the Divine Key she has constructed now possesses power no less than that of the original.

The moment the star appeared, it immediately turned red and bright, and a terrifying gravity descended upon the Herrscher of Domination, forcing her to fall from the sky. Her movements became sluggish, as if she were carrying an entire mountain on her back.

Seeing that the Herrscher of Domination was temporarily suppressed, Kiana did not hesitate to unleash a fiery sword aura at the boy and Theresa respectively. The golden flames swept past, burning off the threads on their bodies one by one, and at the same time, they teleported to a safer rear.

"Damn it! You think you can win like this!?"

Seeing this, the Herrscher of Domination seemed even more enraged, and Honkai energy surged out of her body as if it were free, turning her originally deep purple energy body into a dangerous red.

Bang!

With the violent burst of energy, the restraints on the Mimicry of Eden Star were instantly broken, and Bronya was also shaken by the force of the impact, causing the star in her hand to lose its brilliance for a moment.

Swah——

But just as the Herrscher of Domination was about to launch another attack, a layer of frost spread out first, freezing its feet.

"Just like you said, I may have become a Herrscher because of some kind of mistake."

I also found this identity unacceptable, feeling that it shattered my dream of becoming an excellent Valkyrie.

A soft yet resolute voice rang out, and the ice and snow on Anna's body quickly melted, revealing the beautiful face of a young girl full of determination. "But the leader of the Shihen Alliance told me that power is neither good nor bad. The only thing that truly determines its use is the person who bears that power."

Moreover, it was Leader Shihen who made me understand what a Valkyrie should truly do!

Anna spoke firmly, her snow-white hair fluttering slightly, as even more intense frost spread and eroded towards the Herrscher of Domination.

"They're just a bunch of self-important idiots! Stop spouting nonsense here!!"

With a furious shout, billowing black mist surged from beneath the feet of the Herrscher of the Void, melting the thick frost and continuing its relentless advance towards the group of girls.

"hateful!"

Seeing this, Seele couldn't help but show deep anxiety.

Everyone is fighting hard against the Herrscher of Dominion, but she can't help at all.

Even the Herrscher powers that he once used to help countless people have now become a weapon used by Herrschers to harm everyone.

"Do you really want to help everyone, Seele?"

A cold, arrogant voice rang in her mind, and Seele suddenly felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she was already in the Sacred Mark Space.

"What did you just say, my other self?"

Somewhat puzzled, Seele glanced around, her face becoming anxious again. "Please let me go back quickly! Bronya and the others are in danger!"

Even though it has been weakened considerably compared to the beginning, the power of the Herrscher of Domination remains undeniable.

"In your current state, even if you returned to reality, what could you possibly do?"

Sitting in her assigned spot, Seele spoke coldly, appearing completely unmoved.

"I……"

Upon hearing this, Seele was speechless for a moment.

"So, do you really want to help everyone?"

Raising her head to look into the eyes of her other self, [Seele] asked in an extremely serious tone, her blood-red eyes flashing with a light of determination.

"I...yes, I want to help everyone!"

Unaware of the change in her other self, Seele nodded without hesitation, her hand clenching tightly involuntarily. "During our first mission, it was Captain Hen who risked his life to protect us."

In Changkong City and St. Freya, Captain Hen helped us solve one problem after another and taught us a lot of knowledge and principles that we couldn't learn in the classroom.

Bronya, Kiana, Mei… everyone is working hard to protect this world, and Seele doesn't want to hold them back anymore!

Even if it costs you your life?

Still speaking in a cold voice, Seele's tone carried an unspeakable pressure as she asked, "You should know that the power of a Herrscher is not something that can be easily mastered. It is very possible that both of us will disappear completely."

"..."

Startled by these words, Seele looked at her other self with a sudden hesitation.

If it were just her alone, she naturally wouldn't hesitate much.

But what if Seele has to pay the price too...?

"Hmph! Don't look at me like that. My choice is the same as yours."

After all, I absolutely hate that noisy Herrscher outside!

As if she could read the girl's mind, [Seele] waved her hand and said with an impatient expression.

"I'm sorry, [Seele], I've dragged you into this..."

She whispered, and Seele lowered her head involuntarily.

"Ha! What's this about being implicated or not? We've always been one, haven't we?"

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately retorted angrily.

"That's true. Thank you, [Seele]."

Realizing what had happened, Seele stepped forward and grasped the hand of her other self, a bright smile returning to her face.

"Tsk..."

Looking at her with gentle eyes, Seele blushed slightly and tilted her head to the side. "Ahem... In short, you just need to do your best to seize the power of the Tranquility Gem, and I will try my best to help you with the rest."

"Ok!"

Nodding seriously, Seele didn't hesitate for long and immediately sensed her connection with the Tranquil Gem.

Before long, a calm aura, as serene as the ocean, wafted over, and Seele quickly sensed the presence of the Tranquil Gem.

Unlike before, the tranquil gemstone now resembles a lake covered with a thick layer of ice in winter, devoid of any of its usual vitality and life.

Thinking of her other self, and then of Kiana and the others who were still fighting, Seele immediately felt a chill and stretched out her mind to wrap around the Tranquil Gem, trying her best to take back the authority from the Herrscher of Domination.

"Well--"

Perhaps because the Herrscher of Domination was busy fighting Kiana and the others, or perhaps because her own efforts had taken effect, Seele soon felt the response from the Gem of Tranquility. A continuous stream of power surged back into her body and returned to her control, and... quickly exceeded her previous maximum range.

Realizing something in an instant, Seele's eyes widened as she looked at the other version of herself beside her, whose figure was gradually becoming transparent.

"[Seele]!!"

Seele couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Stop shouting, I can still hear you."

[Seele] replied in a somewhat impatient tone.

"You, what is this... "

She stammered as she spoke, her face filled with disbelief.

"I told you, the power of a Herrscher is not something that can be easily mastered."

To become a true Herrscher, one must be prepared to risk one's life.

She said coldly, but when she looked at her other self, her eyes were full of tenderness, "However, the price is my life."

"How could this be?!"

Shaking her head, Seele looked unwilling to accept this cruel reality.

"But this is the only way to defeat the Herrscher of Dominion."
