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

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

Hyperion, medical room.

hum-

The sword tip trembled slightly, emitting a soft hum. Li Sushang stopped at just the right moment, and the Ruoshui sword landed on the boy's face, just a hair's breadth away from his skin.

At this distance, if Li Sushang had the slightest thought, the Ruoshui Sword in the girl's hand, transformed from the Key of Control, could easily pierce the boy's head in less than a moment.

Even so, the boy remained unresponsive, his breathing remaining weak and unchanged, as if he had truly fallen into a deep coma.

For a moment, both the female swordswoman standing with her sword and the black-haired boy lying on the hospital bed remained motionless, as quiet as a photograph.

While Li Sushang and the boy remained calm, Seele and Peggy, standing to the side, were far from composed.

"Stop it!"

With a startled cry, Peggy flew towards Li Sushang without hesitation, completely disregarding the fact that she was a complete weakling.

Even faster than Peggy was a menacing black and red chain claw.

wow——

The chain claws flew and grabbed Li Sushang's slender waist. [Xier] gripped the other end of the chain and flung her away from the boy with all her might.

boom!

As the chains swung, Li Sushang slammed into the wall of the medical room like a meteor hammer. Her seemingly supple body pierced through the wall without any resistance, only stopping when she hit the other side of the corridor.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Stepping through the hole in the wall towards Li Sushang, [Xier]'s face revealed undisguised intense anger, and her tone was low like a suppressed volcano about to erupt.

"Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect."

Brushing the dust off her clothes, Li Sushang looked up and said with a smile, "Of course, I wasn't lying when I said I was a Valkyrie."

Actually, I was sent by the Rakshasa... the one you call Otto, to test him..."

wow——

Upon hearing the name Otto, Seele immediately lost her patience and swung out her black and red chain claw.

In the girl's mind, Otto is the biggest villain in the world. How could anyone be a good person if they are associated with such a guy?

Therefore, there was absolutely no need for her to reason with Li Sushang, because the other party was not worthy of listening at all!

The thought of being deceived by this guy and almost causing the boy's death on the spot made [Xi'er]'s anger surge even more intensely. She wished she could grab Li Sushang and tear her to pieces immediately.

when!

Li Sushang raised her longsword to block the chain claws, and sighed slightly as she looked at [Xier]'s extremely angry expression.

Given the other person's demeanor, it was clear that they were not going to listen to her explanation properly.

Since that's the case, let's let this [Seele] calm down first.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Sushang picked up the Ruoshui sword and launched an attack.

On the other side, after briefly glancing at the two engaged in fierce combat through the angle of his cybernetic body, Shihen stopped caring about it.

The reason Otto chose to send Li Sushang to the Hyperion to test him was ultimately because of Li Sushang's unregistered status.

Under normal circumstances, even a villainous boss like Walter White shouldn't know about someone like Li Sushang.

Based on this premise, the opponent's surprise attack can catch him off guard, causing him to reveal his weaknesses in the rush.

But having read the script beforehand, Li Sushang's existence was not a secret to him.

No matter how Otto spoke ill of him to Li Sushang, this Li Dazhentou (a nickname for a woman) would never kill him the moment they met.

Besides being a man of his word, Li Sushang was also a true knight-errant, and it was impossible for her to take the life of a stranger based on the one-sided words of others.

Even if Otto was the one who said those words.

This is the source of Shihen's confidence to lie flat in front of his opponent, and it is also the reason why Otto does not use Rita.

In other words, Otto's move became meaningless the moment Li Sushang's identity was exposed.

Thinking to himself, Shihen's consciousness did not linger there, but instead focused directly on the imaginary space on the other side.

Li Dazhentou can try to fool people later, but this is the only chance he'll have to give Otto a solid hat.

…………

Imaginary space, the deepest.

This is the beginning of imaginary numbers, the origin and convergence of countless laws, and a source that is absolutely beyond human reach.

And it is here that the Tree of Imaginary Numbers droops down its most slender branch, thus proclaiming that God's authority can be reached.

Stumbling through a crimson desert, Otto gazed at a colossal tree in the far distance, and his long yet short life began to take shape in his mind.

In his quest to find a way to truly resurrect Kallen, he spent five hundred years in the world, a truly long and winding journey.

Most of the time, however, he was just living in a daze, completely unaware of where to seek answers.

Compared to these times, the years he lived as a human being were incredibly short, so short that they seemed like only a fleeting moment.

But it was this brief and fleeting period that laid the foundation for his trajectory over the next five hundred years.

But whether it's merit or demerit, even the slander and abuse from many people, it no longer matters to him now.

Thinking of his long-cherished wish that was about to be fulfilled, Otto felt only a sense of relief and joy.

"Wait for me, Karen, I'll be there to see you soon..."

As he spoke with a smile, Otto suddenly felt a gentle breeze beside him, and the figure of a white-haired man suddenly jumped out.

Moreover, the other person's long white hair, which reached his waist, was turning black and shorter at a visible speed, and the pure white mask on his face was slowly dissipating into points of light, revealing a gentle and jade-like young face behind it.

Good evening, Bishop Otto.

Seeing the blond man in front of him who seemed a little lost, Shihen took the initiative to greet him.

Chapter 208 A Young Man's Backstab Offered to the God of Pure Love

"Hahaha……"

Seeing the boy's true face revealed, Otto couldn't help but burst into laughter. "It seems that everyone in this world has been fooled by you!"

At this moment, he finally understood that whether it was the dominant [Walter White] or the third leader of Anti-Entropy who became the white moonlight of all the Herrschers, they were all just disguises of the guy in front of him.

"Not everyone, at least Yae Sakura is still on my side."

Shihen explained.

As someone working behind the scenes, he didn't care much about his reputation, but he still refused to accept such unfounded slander.

Otto: "..."

So, he was repeatedly mocked by that stinky fox, and it was all because of you secretly orchestrating it, right?

Otto was itching to punch the boy in the face, but considering he was just a retired bishop with no strength to fight back, he forced himself to calm down.

"Heh, even if you scheme against the whole world, is your ultimate goal still the same as mine?"

With a light laugh, Otto's lips curled into a playful smile.

Shihen simply smiled and did not refute this.

Regardless, Otto had earned the authority of the false god through his own efforts, and he was still willing to let the other party be happy for a while.

After all, once the two truly reveal their true intentions, Otto will probably no longer be able to laugh.

"If that's the case, then what is it that you want to change?"

Taking the boy's silence as an admission, Otto generously inquired with concern.

We're all dead now; it would be too petty to make things difficult for each other.

Therefore, he is still quite willing to show his magnanimity and generosity at such times.

You can't say that the boy gave up his own life and everything in this world just to sabotage him at a crucial moment, can you?

He simply couldn't believe that such a ruthless person existed in the world!

Meeting Otto's curious gaze, Shihen paused slightly before speaking, "Durandal has always missed her mother."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Otto's face immediately darkened.

You're willing to give up everything for Durandal? What kind of innocent persona are you trying to portray here?

When you tricked Durandal into giving up, you didn't seem to care much about her.

Moreover, if he remembers correctly, while [Walter White] was in a love-hate relationship with Durandal, your other identity was still having an affair with Kiana, right?

Thinking of this, Otto couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disgust and aversion.

As a pure-hearted warrior, he despises those with ulterior motives.

"Since Alliance Leader Shihen already has his plans, then let's part ways here and not interfere with each other, shall we?"

Suppressing his inner disgust, Otto said with a smile.

Even though he knew very well that if he had a powerful ally like the young man to help him on this final leg of the journey, it would be much easier.

However, he remained wary of the other party and genuinely did not want to have anything to do with him.

Otherwise, who knows what other crazy things this guy might do?

“Hey, Bishop Otto, that’s a rather distant thing to say.”

We've been through thick and thin together, how can we split up when facing danger?

Shihen strongly objected.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Otto's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

Fourteen times... In the imaginary space just now, the boy killed him a total of fourteen times!

Just how thick-skinned does this guy have to be to claim they have a bond forged through life and death?!

Even though he was somewhat aware of his own despicable nature, he still felt that the boy was far too shameless.

Despite his disgust at the smiling young man, Otto nodded and said, "Then thank you very much, Alliance Leader Shihen."

He had no doubt that even if he chose to refuse, the other party would continue to pester him.

Rather than that, it would be better if he were to be sensible and perhaps avoid some trouble.

"Haha, I knew Bishop Otto was always loyal and righteous, and he would never abandon me."

Shihen patted Otto's shoulder hard and burst into laughter without any attempt to hide it, completely ignoring the other's increasingly unpleasant expression.

Ignoring the increasingly shameless person, Otto dragged his exhausted body toward the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, his steps slow but unwavering.

"Bishop Otto is truly a man of deep feeling, willing to spend five hundred years to win back his beloved."

I just don't know how Karen would feel if she really knew what you'd done.

Following Otto at a leisurely pace, Shihen asked with a light laugh.

"..."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Otto paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I will bear my own sins, and they have nothing to do with Karen."

This time, I will help her be strong.

In that tragedy five hundred years ago, it's not so much that Kallen died at the hands of the Honkai Beasts, but rather that the beasts were defeated by their own weakness.

Faced with the fate of being corrupted and degraded by power, faced with the man who was drifting further and further away from her, and faced with the tragedies caused by her own negligence, Karen ultimately chose to give up her own life, using her passion to express the final resistance of a Kaslana.

This is both a personal tragedy and a sorrow of that era.

But this time, everything will be different.

As he thought this, a sharp glint flashed in Otto's eyes.

He will risk his life to reveal the truth of the world to Karen, awaken the hope in her heart, and inject new vitality into the girl's long-dead soul.

This is the true salvation for the saintess.
