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

If the plan goes smoothly, the power he gains will surpass all Herrschers, but the other party still seems to have him completely under their thumb.

"I hope you won't keep me waiting too long."

Shihen said calmly.

If he delayed any longer, he felt he would be killed sooner or later.

"I will try my best to satisfy His Excellency the Bishop."

Otto said modestly, but his eyes were full of confident smiles.

Shihen didn't respond further; he simply waved his hand, opened a spatial rift, and disappeared into it.

"What exactly do you want to gain by going to such lengths to plan all this, [Walter White]...?"

Watching the spot where the man had vanished in an instant, Otto couldn't help but stroke his chin, a deep thought flashing in his eyes.

Even though he had already clashed with the other party several times, he felt that everything about this man was still shrouded in a thick fog.

He couldn't even tell if it was the other person's true form, and he remained completely unaware of the man's appearance under the mask.

But it doesn't matter, he'll get all the answers soon.

With a slight smile, Otto gripped the Herrscher Core in his hand and instantly refined it.

Swah——

With his consciousness connected to the core, Otto immediately felt an immense will descend upon him, forcibly drawing him into its grasp.

……

Perhaps it was a fleeting moment, or perhaps it was millions of years, but when Otto finally came to his senses, he found himself in a boundless, pure white space.

Before him stood a pure white figure with the same silhouette as his own.

Having had a conversation with the Honkai Will during the Second Honkai Impact, Otto immediately understood the significance of the being before him.

"Seventeen years ago, I asked you for the answer to resurrecting Kallen, but you gave me a riddle instead."

But now, I have solved the mystery.

Therefore, it is your turn to fulfill your promise, broken will.

With a smile, Otto spoke humbly but not subserviently, as if the will before him, universally recognized as divine, was an equal existence to him.

Just do as you see fit, and I'll help you when the time is right.

Ignoring Otto's attitude, the Honkai Will calmly looked at the blond man before him, and a reply was directly transmitted into Otto's mind.

"Thank you for your generosity."

With a slight bow, Otto's lips curled into a wider smile. "Now, could you please satisfy my personal curiosity?"

Although the deal between him and the will of Honkai was already made the moment he received the other party's promise.

Opportunities to converse with the gods are rare, and he was naturally unwilling to miss them easily.

【ask.】

The Will of Honkai answered calmly.

A smile immediately appeared on Otto's face, and he slowly said without much hesitation: "You should know that not long ago, the World Serpent created a clone of Kevin Kaslana, and the clone even gained power similar to Kevin's."

What are your thoughts on this matter?

After all, Kevin Kaslana should be considered an old acquaintance of yours, right?

As he spoke, a mocking smile appeared in Otto's eyes.

Even if they are not true gods, this world does not hold many secrets for the Honkai Will before them.

Therefore, no matter how much Welt White tries to hide, it is as meaningless as being naked in the face of the Honkai Will.

Honkai Will: [I have no objection to this.]

"Really?"

This answer was not unexpected, and Otto's smile did not diminish in the slightest.

Although I didn't get the most direct answer, the other party's response already speaks volumes.

Seven or eight interpretations flashed through his mind at once, and Otto continued to ask, "If we want to reshape the entire world, what price must be paid besides the authority of the Herrscher?"

As he spoke, Otto was also secretly pondering to himself.

Compared to his worldline reboot plan, Walter White's so-called world reshaping may seem similar, but the costs involved are completely different.

When he chose this plan, he had already decided to bet all his chips.

As for [Walter White]... not only did the other party have no intention of paying the corresponding price, but he even intended to become the god of the new world, forever planning and restricting the future of mankind.

This is beyond the scope of his research and belongs to matters outside the realm of truth.

Therefore, his only hope is to get the answer from the Will of Honkai.

Honkai Will: [This is beyond my authority.]

"..."

Upon hearing this incredibly honest answer, Otto was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh. "Heh, that's quite an interesting answer."

Even the Honkai Will cannot provide an answer. Either [Walter White]'s plan was a deception from the beginning, or... what the other party is after has already surpassed the Honkai Will.

Regardless of the possibility, it means that [Walter White]'s scheme is quite ambitious, even far exceeding Kevin's Stigmata Project.

Would Walter White, who dared to plot such a thing, really lie low under Kevin?

Thinking about the answer the Honkai Will gave to his previous question, Otto's smile deepened.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Prometheus."

With a deep bow, Otto grinned and finally revealed the true name of the being before him.

Chapter 192 Sirin Attempts a Decisive Move

boom--

On a once calm sea, a thunderclap suddenly exploded, and a dark crack appeared in the sky. A black-haired girl emerged from it; it was none other than Mei, who had left the Domination Theater.

"Sure enough, the location is quite off-center."

Mei glanced around at the unfamiliar sea before her, a knowing look flashing in her eyes.

Even though she could violently cleave through space, she didn't possess any authority over space, so she naturally couldn't accurately control her landing point.

But for her, it wasn't a big deal; it just meant she'd have to fly for a little longer.

Without spending much time on this, Mei quickly focused her mind on her Herrscher core.

During her battle with the Herrscher of Domination, in addition to the changes in her own authority, she also sensed another incredibly powerful will.

Based on the information she currently has, there is clearly only one possibility: the Will of Honkai.

But if we think this way, new doubts inevitably arise.

According to the views of those heroes in the Land of the Past, Honkai itself does not have the concept of will, and every Herrscher should be able to connect directly with Honkai, and is undoubtedly an incarnation of Honkai.

But this is clearly contrary to reality.

In Mei's view, not only does the Honkai possess a clear and unambiguous will, but the connection between the Herrscher and the Honkai is also somewhat fragile.

At least, she had never heard any orders issued by the Honkai.

If those heroes weren't lying, then there must be some reason why the Lawbringers of the two eras changed, leading to this huge difference in their perceptions.

With these thoughts in mind, Mei focused her mind even more intently on the core, seeking a connection with the Honkai Will.

She had a feeling that she was capable of doing such a thing.

As soon as this thought arose, Mei felt an incomparably magnificent will suddenly descend upon her, completely enveloping her with an unyielding and forceful attitude.

When Mei came to her senses, she found herself in a boundless, pure white space. A white figure with an almost identical outline to her was silently watching her, its pure white eyes filled with only indifference and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"You are the Will of Honkai?"

Mei raised an eyebrow and asked, scrutinizing the white figure before her.

【Yes. 】

The figure answered calmly, the voice devoid of joy or sorrow resounding directly in Mei's mind.

"No, you are not Him, and you could never be Him."

Mei spoke with utmost seriousness, without the slightest hesitation in her eyes.

Even though she could sense the grandeur of the figure before her, it was as if a giant was an ant to her... No, to be more precise, when facing this figure, Mei felt as if an entire world was standing in front of her.

Even so, she still didn't think the other party was some kind of broken will.

At the very least, the other party is not the Honkai itself, but rather... a superficial layer floating above the Honkai.

If we consider Honkai as a planet, then this will is like the sky.

Although the sky is also a vast and unattainable thing for people living on the planet, it is ultimately not the planet itself.

【…】

In response to the girl's question, the figure... no, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him Prometheus, remained silent without expressing any objection.

As a super artificial intelligence developed by the Fire Moth, Prometheus is tasked with both restraining the Honkai and controlling the various Herrscher powers born in this era, and is also subject to various constraints from the Cocoon of the End.

Neither favoring humanity nor siding with the Honkai, Prometheus's sole mission is to ensure the Stigmata Project proceeds as planned, and nothing more.

Whether or not humanity is saved is the responsibility of Kevin and other pioneers, and has nothing to do with her.

"Since you're not going to speak, then it's my turn to ask questions."

Mei glanced at the white figure again, thought for a moment, and then said, "Compared to the previous civilization, the Herrschers of this era have shown many differences. Did you do all of this?"

You should look for the answer in the present world.

Prometheus answered calmly.

"It's the paradise of past lives again..."

In an instant, Mei realized what the other person was referring to, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

She hated playing riddles there.

However, instead of giving a direct answer, he pointed out a direction. Does this guy also have some kind of limitation?

Gazing at the figure, Mei pondered silently for a while before finally asking, "Tell me, what is a true Herrscher?"

Having made a breakthrough in the battle against the Herrscher of Dominion, she clearly felt the barriers that existed in her Herrscher powers.

She had a premonition that if she could break through this barrier, she would be able to become the true Herrscher that Naraku spoke of.

Unfortunately, even though she could sense the existence of the boundary, she could never find a way to break through it.

It was as if... this was the limit of her being a Herrscher.

【…】

Upon hearing this question, Prometheus immediately smiled, and then...

Swah——

Suddenly, her vision cleared, and when Mei's eyes returned, the scene before her eyes had transformed back into an endless sea.

"Well--"

Unable to contain her anger, Mei spent a long time trying to compose herself before speeding off towards the World Serpent's base after determining her location.

Since the Will of Collapse refused to answer, she could only seek the answer in the Land of Bliss.

Her figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star, and Mei was unaware that something had quietly appeared on her body.

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

On the other side, reverse entropy, night deepens.

After showering and returning to the bedroom, Shihen once again saw a familiar white figure at the table.

The girl sat in a chair with her back to the door, her long, white hair, still slightly damp, simply draped over her shoulders. She lowered her head and looked at the table as if she was reading something carefully. However, when she heard the boy's footsteps, her delicate body trembled slightly, revealing a hint of panic.

This is a performance that is very much in line with Kiana's personality.
