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

As the highest archbishop of the Mandate of Heaven, Otto's indulgence and support in these matters is also a sin that cannot be ignored.

Moreover, he exploited the Valkyries' sense of justice and kindness, luring them into participating in all sorts of dangerous experiments, all to satisfy his own selfish desires.

Wendy doesn't think this guy, who so wantonly tramples on other people's dreams and hopes, deserves to live in this world.

"For the sake of Alliance Leader Shihen, for the sake of this world, and for... myself."

Anna murmured softly, her aura becoming both cold and gentle.

Even if we were to be reasonable, Otto was the person she swore allegiance to, and that was one of the reasons she became a Valkyrie.

But after experiencing everything on Coral Island, she had already found a new meaning in her life.

Moreover, she was absolutely certain that it was something more real and beautiful than the slogan of destiny, and something more worthy of her devotion to protecting.

"So……"

Kiana spoke softly, glancing around at her spirited companions, before summoning her Flame Blade and slashing down hard at the golden rift.

Swish!

In an instant, the spatial rift that was originally faint and seemed about to disappear in the next second was forcibly expanded into a wide passageway that could accommodate several people walking together.

By embracing dual authority, Kiana became a being distinct from ordinary Herrschers. Even though her own power was less than a third of her peak, breaking through this barrier was not difficult for her.

Without hesitation, Kiana stepped inside first, and immediately had the illusion of coming home. A large amount of Honkai energy was flowing into her body through every pore of her skin, replenishing the girl's energy consumed in the fight against the binding authority.

Bathed in this torrent of Honkai energy, Kiana showed no joy on her face; instead, she appeared increasingly solemn and serious.

Because in her field of vision, a massive amount of Honkai energy, which would be considered enormous even by the standards of a Herrscher, was continuously gathering in the imaginary space.

The place where she stands now is merely a tributary of Honkai energy.

At the very center where the Honkai energy converges, a colossal temple stretching over ten kilometers is rapidly rising from the ground, and every wisp of Honkai energy arriving contributes to the temple's growth, making it even more magnificent and imposing.

"Welcome! Herrschers who fight for humanity!"

Welcome to this temple that belongs to me, to witness this historic moment together!

In front of the central church of the temple complex, Otto, dressed in white, opened his arms to Kiana and the others, as if welcoming a group of visitors from afar.

"..."

Faced with Otto's posture, Kiana pursed her lips and remained silent, but her body suddenly turned into a point of starlight and disappeared from the spot.

The next second, the girl suddenly appeared in front of Otto, and the Flame Blaze Longsword and the Heavenly Fire Judgment in her hand lit up at the same time, together unleashing a golden-red cross-shaped slash.

boom--

In the blink of an eye, the golden-red cross suddenly grew larger, and endless flames, enough to engulf the entire temple, burst forth from it, rapidly engulfing Otto like a tidal wave.

"Hehe~ Being in such a hurry isn't a good habit. Let me help you calm down."

Faced with the girl's fierce attack, Otto simply chuckled and with a flick of his hand, countless Celtic triangular shields appeared, blocking all the incredibly fierce flames. At the same time, a powerful impact struck Kiana, instantly sending the girl flying.

"Kiana, watch out!"

Otto's strength is now on par with any Herrscher!

With a slight extension of her arm, Fu Hua caught the white fluffy ball and absorbed its remaining force, her expression hardening as she spoke.

"That's right, listen to the advice of your seniors, young warrior."

Otto, standing nearby, chimed in with a smile, "Having witnessed the origin of the world's truth, I have now obtained the authority that rightfully belongs to the gods, and have become an existence that transcends mortals and Herrschers."

So, how do you expect to defeat a false god like myself?

With a smile, the boundless destructive energy within the temple instantly surged into Otto's body, condensing three pairs of jet-black wings for the man. A golden halo in the shape of a Celtic triangle also automatically appeared behind Otto's head, adding a touch of divine aura to him.

"Ha! What gods and ghosts? It's all just bluffing!"

With a cold laugh, Shi Bao immediately activated his authority, and black and red feathers appeared and burned in various parts of the space, trying to pull Otto into the realm of consciousness space to fight again.

But Otto merely chuckled, and his dark wings flapped violently behind him, unleashing an invisible storm that extinguished the countless feathers summoned by the Herrscher of Consciousness, and even made the Herrscher of Consciousness's body appear somewhat transparent.

"Don't try to show off your meager skills in front of me."

If we're talking about power, what you rely on is nothing but empty shadows.

Otto said jokingly, his tone full of unhurried ease.

"Damn it! Who are you calling a shadow?!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Bao immediately lost his temper.

She only gave her body to Fu Hua out of generosity, and now she's being mocked by someone like Otto?

"Then let's try this one, Otto!"

With a loud shout, Wendy leaped into the sky, her short sword forming a bow shape, and a blue light arrow that seemed to pierce through space suddenly fell rapidly from the sky.

“You are far from being as powerful as God.”

With a smile, Otto raised his right hand slightly, and hundreds of golden shields immediately piled up in front of him, forming an indestructible and absolute defense.

call out--

But just as Otto's defense was formed, a bright white beam of light struck the shield first, and two ship-mounted Moon Thrones appeared behind Bronya.

"Don't underestimate human intelligence!"

Gritting her teeth, Bronya's body trembled uncontrollably, but she still channeled every bit of Honkai energy within her into the Moon Thrones she had constructed, stabilizing and strengthening their performance.

Within the increasingly dazzling pillar of light, the shield that Otto had conjured vanished rapidly, like a dewdrop in the sunlight, quickly revealing a large gap.

"Ha ha……"

Upon seeing this, Otto merely smiled slightly, and three pairs of black wings behind him suddenly closed in front of him, perfectly blocking the blue light arrow that was about to fall.

Enveloped in the terrifying light and heat transformed from the Moon Throne, the azure light arrow suddenly struck the wings, instantly transforming into an endless scorching storm that completely enveloped Otto's figure.

But even amidst this storm that could easily tear apart even a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, Otto only had a few feathers torn off, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

The gale tore through the void, even distorting the light, yet Otto's voice still rang out:

"Is this all you have to offer to fight against a false god?"

He talks about saving the world, yet he only has so little power of his own?

"The power of all of us..."

Suddenly raising her head, Seele's eyes lit up. The scythe in her hand was first coated with a holy white, then stained with a deathly black, and finally a gray that seemed capable of devouring and annihilating everything appeared on the scythe. "It's definitely not just that!"

With a sharp cry, Seele leaped up and spun around, her scythe, now shrouded in a layer of grayish-brown, crashing heavily onto Otto's dark wings.

stab-

The sound of tearing silk rang out instantly. Otto's wings, which were strong enough to withstand the attack of a Herrscher-level being, tore apart as if they were paper being sliced ​​by a knife. The hazy gray color continued to spread along the cut of the wings, causing the remaining feathers to quickly turn into ashes and dissipate.

Swish!

Just as Otto's defense was breached, Fu Hua flashed in front of the man, a cold killing intent rising in her blue eyes.

"Immortal Red Iris, as an old friend of five hundred years, don't you have anything to say?"

Otto showed no sign of panic and even greeted Fu Hua with great interest.

"Be in your position and fulfill your duties."

To disregard the lives of others for your own selfish desires only fills me with deep sorrow and disgust.

As she spoke, each word distinct and deliberate, Fu Hua's hands moved with unwavering speed.

Punches, elbow strikes, knee strikes... In the blink of an eye, Fu Hua had already launched hundreds and thousands of attacks at Otto, her fists and feet moving so fast that only a blurry afterimage could be seen.

Under such a rapid onslaught, Otto could hardly defend himself, let alone struggle, and could only let Fu Hua's attacks rain down on all parts of his body.

Bang!

Fu Hua delivered a final, powerful kick to Otto's chest, sending the man flying high into the air like a baseball hit by a bat.

call out--

But before Otto could ascend to his highest point, a white lance with blue ice-like patterns flew in an instant and pierced through the man's body. Thin frost spread and expanded along his skin, making even Otto's blinking seem to slow down by three points.

“Bishop Otto, you have gone too far by attempting to destroy the entire world for your own selfish reasons!”

While still in the throwing motion, Anna spoke with slight panting, her eyes filled with determination.

Even though the girl, who had received a Shaniat-style elite education, couldn't even talk trash, her hatred for Otto was no less intense.

The next second, before Otto could recover from the slowing effect of the Ice Herrscher, Kiana's figure reappeared in front of him, her twin swords shining with a dazzling golden-red light like the sun.

Upon seeing those two beams of light, so dazzling they could sting one's eyes, Otto showed no sign of impending death. Instead, a slight smile played on his lips, as if he were anticipating something.

"Go to hell, Otto!!"

With a loud shout, Kiana simultaneously slashed down with her Flame Blade and Heavenly Judgment.

boom--

Like the birth of a new star, an incomparably bright light suddenly burst forth, and terrifying light and heat erupted at the same time, causing the entire imaginary space to tremble and shake.

Even Bronya and the others, who were also Herrschers, could only see a dazzling light that seemed to pierce even their retinas. The girls also used various methods to resist the aftershocks of Kiana's all-out attack.

After a long while, when the heat and light finally dissipated slightly, Otto was no longer in sight. The once magnificent temple was now dilapidated, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.

"That concludes everything..."

Kiana slowly descended, letting out a long sigh as she gasped for breath. The Flame Sword in her hand had long since vanished, and her face had paled considerably.

Already in poor condition due to resisting the binding force, this sword strike truly unleashed her full power.

Despite being so exhausted that all she wanted to do was lie in bed and sleep, Kiana couldn't help but feel immense joy at the thought that she had ended Otto's evil plan and saved the world from the brink of destruction.

"Hehehe... It's a bit too early to say it's over now."

A voice suddenly rang out, and countless ashes in the void suddenly condensed, re-manifesting Otto's figure and appearance, "With the power of the [False God], I can even transcend death."

Endless and indestructible—this is the authority of God!

As soon as he finished speaking, Otto's originally jet-black wings turned into a spotless white, making him look like... a true god!

…………

On the other side, Hyperion.

Having finally managed to infiltrate the warship, Li Sushang, dressed in the Jade Knight armor, discovered a very serious problem.

She seems... to be lost.

Looking at the several passageways before her that were completely indistinguishable, Li Sushang's eyes, untouched by knowledge, were filled with nothing but confusion.

But then, Li Sushang's eyes lit up when she saw a girl with long red and black dyed hair walking by, cursing and swearing.

"Hello young lady, do you know how to get to the clinic on this ship?"

Without hesitation, Li Sushang stepped forward, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and asked with sincerity in her large brown eyes.

Seele, filled with resentment at being abandoned, thought: "???"

Wait, who is this guy? Is there such a person on the Hyperion?

Chapter 204 The Young Man Loyal to the Behind-the-Scenes Refuses to Reveal His Identity

Imaginary space, deep within.

Seeing Otto the White Wing, whose demeanor had changed drastically, Kiana and the others immediately became serious, their eyes filled with apprehension.

Even though they weren't sure how much truth there was to the other party's claim of immortality, the fact that they could be resurrected unharmed after being completely wiped out, and even with their power increased, was beyond their comprehension.

"You all saw that, didn't you? This is the true power of a false god!"

As long as this space exists, I will never die.

And you can only watch helplessly as the world marches step by step toward its end.

Otto spread his arms wide and said, a smug and exaggerated smile spreading across his face.

"We will not let your plan succeed!"

Kiana gritted her teeth and shouted, her eyes filled with an indomitable spirit.

Even though the current situation has exceeded expectations, the girl's heart has become as hard as iron after being tempered by someone time and time again, and she will not give up easily because of this little setback.

"Hehehe, you are truly admirable, young soldier."
