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

Alicia said with a proud look on her face.

"..."

Without questioning the beauty of the paradise, Mei stared straight at the pink fairy in front of her, a thoughtful look appearing in her purplish-red eyes. "Alissia, since you say you are the thirteenth Herrscher, why have I never seen you use your powers?"

Even if it's just a memory, shouldn't the Paradise of Past Lives be able to reproduce the powers of a Herrscher?

As she spoke, Mei subconsciously glanced at the white-haired man beside her.

She still felt that this Naraku was more in line with the image of the Thirteenth Herrscher.

Upon hearing Mei's words, Durandal's ears immediately perked up, and a serious expression appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

She had a premonition that this mysterious and extraordinary Thirteenth Herrscher was likely the key to [Walter White] bringing her to the Land of the Dead.

"The power of a Herrscher..."

The tunnel was quiet and secluded. A mysterious smile played on Alicia's lips. "If you want to know the answer, just go to Paradise. I've hidden all of Alicia's secrets there~"

Meiyi: "..."

She knew it would be like this.

That's true.

Shihen nodded slightly. "Whether it's the power of the Herrscher or the reason for the birth of the Thirteenth Herrscher, when you find the answers to these questions, all the doubts in your hearts will be resolved."

"It better be this way."

Mei gritted her teeth and said.

Shihen simply responded with a gentle smile to the girl's barely concealed dissatisfaction.

"If Alicia is the Thirteenth Herrscher, then who are you?"

"The name Naraku is probably just a pseudonym, right?"

Unwilling to accept this perfunctory response, Mei gritted her teeth and questioned him.

Her previous conviction that Naraku was the Thirteenth Herrscher was based on far more than just the fact that both of them had blank records.

More importantly, it's the man's understanding of the Lawgiver that far surpasses that of ordinary people.

She would never believe that Naraku had nothing to do with the Herrscher.

"When you know all the secrets of the Thirteenth Herrscher, you will naturally understand all of this."

Shihen replied with a smile.

When Mei finds the answer, that's when Paradise will collapse.

This was the final lesson that Naraku could give to his opponent.

Thinking it over, Shihen didn't give the girl a chance to continue asking questions, and his figure disappeared into the distance in a few flashes.

"Durandal, Mei, you can explore freely for a while. I'll come find you later."

Remember, you must get along well with each other!

With a smile, Alicia waved to the two of them, then quickly disappeared with the boy.

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling square was now empty except for Durandal and Mei staring at each other.

"Raiden Mei..."

It was rare for the two to be on the same page. Just as Durandal was about to invite Mei to explore together, she was interrupted by Mei turning her head away.

"Let's have a race to see who's faster, Durandal."

With a cold laugh, Mei's figure instantly transformed into a streak of crimson lightning and vanished into the depths of the paradise.

She firmly believed in Durandal's fall from grace and had no desire to get too close to this guy.

"..."

Seeing Mei's attitude as if she were avoiding a plague, Durandal could only sigh helplessly and walked into the paradise at a leisurely pace.

…………

On the other side, they stopped together in a garden located high up. Alicia looked at the boy with eyes full of joy: "Hehe! How does it feel, my paradise?"

"Not bad."

Nodding, Shihen said calmly and objectively, "This is a paradise that belongs to [Alicia], but it is not a paradise that can accommodate everyone."

"There's nothing I can do; my strength is limited on my own!"

With a charming laugh, Alicia casually plucked a few bouquets and brought them to her nose for a light sniff.

"I thought you were going to say that you are omnipotent."

Cute girls can do anything... Didn't you say that yourself?

Shihen asked with a light laugh.

"Boys who are too rational won't be popular with girls!"

Upon hearing this, Alicia's cheeks immediately puffed up.

"Yes, yes, since Miss Alicia wants a paradise, then I will build a super big paradise."

That would also be a truly lasting paradise, capable of accommodating everyone.

He said with a smile, but Shihen's tone became more serious.

Whether from the perspective of fighting against the Honkai, or from Alicia's personal point of view, this paradise of the past has long since lost its value.

Moreover, even for the thirteen heroes who live here, this paradise of the past is more like an eternal prison most of the time, only becoming slightly lively when visitors arrive.

Of course, most of the heroes had no objection to this. They had never thought of leaving, nor did they ever need any resurrection.

Just as in the final moments of the pre-civilization, Eden, despite having the ability to survive, still chose to perish along with his era.

For these heroes who fought to the very last moment, constant tranquility is the best solace.

But since this is a paradise, heroes should also have the right to choose.

Fortunately, the opportunity to destroy and rebuild the paradise of the past was brought to this place by Mei half a month ago.

Through the sacrifice of an incredibly generous Herrscher of Corruption, the Time Mark was able to expand the scope of the Paradise of the Past, enabling it to truly connect and communicate with the outside world.

After all, having the ability to self-replicate infinitely means that the Corruptor has almost infinite extensibility in the information realm, which also allows him to create a brand new network connecting the inside and outside of Paradise.

This is something only a Herrscher of Corruption can accomplish.

As he thought about it, a chessboard scene resembling stars flashed in Shihen's eyes, with countless points of light shining or dimming at the same time, reflecting the blurry scenery of the entire paradise of the past.

Using the power of the Key of Corruption, he left anchor points throughout Paradise, a global deployment unique to him.

As the Herrscher of Corruption grows stronger by constantly devouring data from Paradise, Time Mark can glimpse the Herrscher's development from the shadows left behind.

The only thing that Shihen found somewhat regrettable was that he could only vaguely detect the location of the Corruptor and was not able to truly punish him.

The one in the Pure Land of Past Lives is not his true self.

"If this park is completed, Möbius will be so happy. She's always thinking about how to get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Alicia couldn't help but laugh, her delicate body trembling as if a gentle breeze were blowing through the slender branches covered in flowers.

"Yes, people outside will be very happy too."

He smiled as he spoke, and the curve of Shihen's lips became much brighter.

Unlike other heroes who wanted to give up and live a life of leisure, Möbius was quite proactive and still had a great interest in the world.

Coincidentally, Shihen was also quite interested in Mebius's technical patents.

Even if the way he offered to leave Paradise might not meet Mebius's expectations, well... the other party had no other choice anyway.

"I have a feeling you have some ill intentions towards Dr. Möbius."

Seeing the smile on the boy's face, Alicia immediately became wary.

"You can't just say things like that!"

Upon hearing this, Shihen immediately became displeased, "Don't forget who forced Mebius to wear a pink dress and took a bunch of photos as souvenirs."

Compared to a certain pink fairy, he is a truly great person.

"You even peeled off a lot of Mebius's scales to trade with Paddo for snacks!"

Seeing this, Alicia also started muttering angrily.

"You ate those snacks too."

As Shihen explained, he rolled his eyes at the girl, "Besides, you fed Mebius a lot of creative dishes later."

Well, "creative cuisine" refers to dishes that are completely black inside, which scared Mebius so much that he even used several resurrection armors.

"But those dishes were clearly made by you!"

Alicia was also dissatisfied after being forced to accept such a heavy burden.

As a beautiful girl who is adorable inside and out, there is absolutely no way she could make a terrible dish.

"But you were the one who suggested that."

Shihen continued his tactic of shifting blame.

"..."

Hearing the two arguing, the green-haired loli's breathing became noticeably heavier. "You two, when will you ever stop?!"

She had just noticed the commotion in Eternal Paradise and wanted to see what was going on, but instead found the two people she hated most working together to make fun of her.

"Dr. Möbius? So you've been here."

Upon hearing this, Alicia turned around and looked at the green-haired loli in front of her with an almost exaggerated surprise.

Good morning, Dr. Möbius!

He said with a smile, and Shihen's expression immediately brightened.

"It's almost evening now!!"

Glancing at the setting sun on the horizon, Möbius said irritably.

"As long as you keep a youthful mindset, it's always morning."

Shihen answered seriously.

Mebius: "..."

She suspected that the guy was mocking her age.

"What shady business are you two plotting now?"

Adjusting the flight altitude of the equipment box beneath him, Möbius looked down at the two and asked.

Although she knew what Alicia and the boy had been doing, the specifics were beyond her knowledge.

"Oh dear, Mebius, how could you presume such malice towards us?"

We've always been doing this for your own good!

She blinked rapidly and said in an innocent tone.

At least, aside from the bickering that followed, she genuinely believed that Möbius would be happy for the rebirth of the Paradise of the Past.

"Ailisia"

Don't talk to me like that, you just disgust me!

But when faced with the fairy lady who was as beautiful as flying flowers, Mebius's face instantly turned cold.

After all, just thinking about what those two guys had done to her made her want to tie them to her lab table and use them to experiment on the endless stream of novel ideas in her head.

Unfortunately, this is something we can only dream about.

Honestly, why couldn't those two visitors fight those two bastards to the death?

She clearly put a lot of effort into sowing discord between the two sides.

"Hmm~ You'll know when the answer is revealed."

I'm sure you'll be very happy this time, Mebius.

Alicia smiled and said.
