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

With a sudden shattering of the shackles in her hands, Kallen tore off the noose around her neck without hesitation and charged rapidly toward the Honkai Beasts wreaking havoc in the plaza.

Even though she knew very well that her body, after being tormented by Destiny, had long lost the power to fight against the Honkai, and that rashly confronting these Honkai beasts would only lead to one outcome.

But as a member of Kaslana, how could she stand by and watch the tragedy unfold before her eyes?

Amidst the chaos, the girl's figure, like a firefly in summer, swam upstream, desperately trying to hold up a sliver of light.

But in the overwhelming darkness, the light eventually dimmed and went out.

This is the end of the saintess's life, and also the end of a villain's five-hundred-year struggle to reverse.

In the dim light, it seemed as if a golden meteor streaked across the sky, falling to earth in an attempt to reignite the saintess's extinguished light.

But the next second, under the influence of a powerful force, the meteor that was supposed to fall here suddenly veered off course and flew towards the far east, and even the time seemed to change subtly.

…………

Earlier.

Far east, Yae Village.

On this burnt-out land, Karen is confronting a witch with fox ears.

"Let all of this end now, you demon of decay!"

Looking at the fox-eared witch with the sinister smile in front of her, Karen took a deep breath and said, trying her best to squeeze out some strength from her battered body, and launched a fatal blow with the spear of Judah.

Meanwhile, the fox-eared shrine maiden raised her katana with a wicked smile, her blue eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Just when it seemed that a lose-lose situation was about to occur, a golden meteor suddenly fell, and everything changed.

In this warm, sun-like golden light, the fox-eared priestess suddenly froze, and billowing black mist immediately rose from her body.

That was the Herrscher of Corruption that Kallen brought out from the Schicksal headquarters and eventually resided in the body of the priestess.

Under the golden light, the originally dense black mist, which seemed capable of devouring everything, rapidly shrank and faded, eventually splitting into two into a magnificent black and red katana and... a pink-haired girl with fox ears.

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

"...So, that's how it is."

Looking at the three girls, two adults and one child, sitting in a row in front of him, Shihen explained with great patience.

"I see. It's all thanks to Lord Shihen."

Ruffled the head of the girl beside her, Yae Sakura nodded and said, her azure eyes filled with a clear innocence untouched by knowledge.

Although the boy had just explained a lot of things, she actually didn't understand more than 90% of it.

As a genuine country girl from the Far East, expecting her to understand things like the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and future timelines in a short period of time is really asking too much of her.

However, the only thing she understood was that the pink-haired girl next to her, who looked remarkably like her, was also one of the victims of the breakdown.

Thinking of her own brutality in destroying Yae Village under the control of the Honkai, Yae Sakura's heart was filled with pity for Himeko.

This child must have suffered an even more tragic fate than hers...

As she stroked the girl's small head, Yae Sakura's gaze softened even more.

"Big sister! Don't treat me like a child!"

However, Himeko couldn't help but resist the shrine maiden's gentleness.

Her head was practically rubbed raw.

Watching Yae Sakura and Himeko playfully bicker, Kallen's gaze then fell on Otto, who was now semi-transparent, and her expression became complicated.

According to the boy, Otto had taken a long and winding path for five hundred years in order to achieve the miracle that had just occurred.

The thought of such a long period of time was suffocating for her, let alone the fact that it was the other person's personal experience.

Looking at her childhood sweetheart, who had always been by her side in her memories, Karen couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Even though Otto doesn't seem like a good person in the boy's description, her impression of men is still stuck in this era.

"Karen, don't be sad for me."

Otto could tell at a glance what the girl was feeling, and advised her in a weak voice, "I had already accepted this outcome the moment I took this step."

As he spoke, Otto glared at the boy beside him, but even his anger seemed powerless to show in his eyes.

Although this was the outcome the other party wanted to change, due to the interference that eroded authority, Kan was still the one who paid the main price.

The thought of how he had done everything in his power to reverse time, only to end up pushing Kallen right in front of some stinky fox, made Otto's emotions want to explode.

But what's done is done, and no matter how much he struggles, he can't change the outcome.

He was even struggling to maintain his own existence.

"Otto..."

Looking at the blond man whose figure was becoming increasingly transparent, Karen took a deep breath before trying her best to suppress the sadness in her heart and slowly said, "Goodbye, great inventor."

"Well, goodbye, Karen. Go and save the world as you wish."

This time, however, I can't be by your side.

With a smile, Otto's eyes were filled with unwavering tenderness.

Even though the ending was not what he had expected, he still met Karen again.

Moreover, this might be a more perfect ending than his original plan...

Trying to convince himself, Otto's figure vanished quietly with a gentle breeze, disappearing completely from this space and time.

"Otto!"

Karen instinctively cried out, reaching out to grab Otto, but all she managed to get through was air.

"Miss Karen, please accept my condolences."

I believe that Bishop Otto left without any regrets.

Shihen said earnestly.

He and Otto had a life-or-death bond, so he was the most qualified to speak on the matter.

"..."

Looking at the gentle-looking black-haired boy in front of her, Kallen sighed and finally slowly accepted the fact.

"By the way, in my timeline, Miss Yae Sakura asked me to pass on a message to you."

Shihen said with a smile.

"Sakura from another world?"

Upon hearing this, Karen's eyes widened, a hint of curiosity flashing in them.

Beside her, Yae Sakura immediately perked up her ears, her expression slightly tense.

"Yes."

Nodding, Shihen glanced at the fox-eared shrine maiden beside him, and couldn't help but curl up his lips, "However, I don't think it's necessary for me to convey those words anymore."

In the years to come, Miss Karen will surely understand for herself.

Having reached this point, he had done everything he could. As for how Yae Sakura and Kallen would develop from there... that was their story, and it was no longer something he could interfere with.

Karen: "Huh?"

Without offering any explanation to the girl, Shihen's body quickly dissipated into a wisp of light, and with the help of his cheat-like abilities, he left this space-time that did not belong to him.

A gentle breeze swept away the last warmth left by the boy, leaving only a bewildered nun and priestess in the meadow, along with a girl named Himeko whose eyes sparkled like stars.

Chapter 210 The Prodigal Youth Finally Becomes a Lawyer

Hyperion.

When Hen opened his eyes again, he saw Li Sushang confronting Seele and Theresa alone, while Rita tried to mediate between the three. Einstein and Himeko, among other non-combatants, were also present. The walls of the infirmary he was in had been forcibly demolished during Seele and Li Sushang's battle, and even the corridor was covered with sword marks and claw marks.

Even though the Hyperion is made of very strong materials, it is not so reliable when the two sides in the battle are a Saint Mark Awakener and a Taixu Sword Qi Master.

In fact, if the two hadn't restrained themselves because of the unconscious boy beside them, the Hyperion would have been in serious need of major repairs by now. "Shihen, you're awake!"

Noticing the boy's change, Theresa's face lit up with a delighted smile. "Headmistress? Where is this...?"

Blinking, Shihen ignored Peggy, who was also beaming with joy, and ruthlessly pushed her away. He glanced around the now drastically changed medical room and put on a perfectly appropriate look of bewilderment.

"This guy named Li something-shang said you were that bastard who always wears a mask in disguise, and even said he was going to kill you."

[Xier] pursed her lips and explained.

"It is Li Sushang, the chief disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect."

As she emphasized this, Li Sushang's gaze immediately turned to the boy, "Otto said you might be Walter in disguise, and asked me to test you."

But now it seems that guy was clearly mistaken.

As she spoke, a natural and unadorned innocent smile appeared on the girl's face. She believed that if the boy were really a bad person, he would have given himself away the moment she drew her sword.

"We can't exactly say that the other party would risk their life for someone they've never met, can we?" "Alliance Leader Shihen, I also bear responsibility for this matter. On behalf of Destiny, I express my sincerest apologies to you."

Rita also bowed and said.

Although she was certain from her prior conversations with Li Sushang that the other party was not someone who would indiscriminately kill innocent people, and believed that if the boy himself was innocent, then Li Sushang would certainly not harm his life.

But no matter how many reasons or excuses she had, she still expressed doubt about the boy and put his life in danger.

If the boy were to be seriously injured as a result, causing a rift in the cooperation between Destiny and Anti-Entropy, and ultimately leading to the destruction of the world, then she would be utterly culpable.

"...

Upon hearing their words, Shihen was taken aback for a moment, his eyes darting around thoughtfully before he shook his head and said, "Miss Rita is too kind. I haven't been really hurt."

And compared to these things, I have something even more important to do...

As he spoke, Shihen raised his right hand slightly, and an invisible force field instantly spread out, causing the concentration of Honkai energy in the space to drop rapidly at a visible speed.

Snapped!

She immediately lost her strength and collapsed to the ground. The crucifix that Theresa was carrying also fell down at the same time, and by sheer coincidence, it hit the older nun on the back.

My back!

With a loud cry of pain, Theresa struggled violently like a fish on a chopping board, then resigned herself to her fate and lay on the ground, only able to groan softly.

In an instant, the people gathered around the medical room all changed their expressions, and their gazes toward the boy became filled with surprise.

"Cough cough!"

Clearing his throat and ignoring the resentful gaze of a certain legal loli, Shihen immediately dispelled the binding force and said, "In short, as everyone can see, I seem to have suddenly gained the power of a binding herrscher."

Yes, after being reborn on this cybernetic body with the help of the Herrscher of Corruption's authority and the power of the cheat, the boy now is undoubtedly the original.

As for why he would reveal the authority of the Herrscher of Binding... as Otto's close friend, it's perfectly reasonable for him to inherit Otto's power after Otto's death, right?

After all, the end is fast approaching, and it's time for him, the third-generation leader of the alliance, to upgrade his capabilities to prevent falling out of the top tier completely.

As for Otto's true motives for entrusting him with the authority to control others, that's a question Theresa and the others should ponder.

He believed that after ruling out the correct answer that "the third leader is [Walter White]", Theresa and the others would give him a satisfactory answer.

For example, after being repeatedly tricked by Welt White and having his false god authority usurped, Otto, having finally realized his mistake, chose to entrust his power to the third-generation boy, who was originally his mortal enemy, in order to contribute to the great cause of everyone's resistance against Welt White.

Upon hearing the boy's words, Himeko, Rita, and the others immediately fell silent. Even Theresa, who had regained her strength, was greatly shocked and momentarily forgot that she should get up from the ground first.

until

"Headmistress, Major Himeko, what's going on here...?"

Seeing the bizarre scene in the medical ward area, Fu Hua, who had finally returned to the Hyperion with Kiana and the others, was greatly shocked.

Even ignoring Theresa, who was lying on the ground seemingly playing some unknown Plav, the person holding the Ruoshui Longsword was enough to surprise the immortal.

"Hello, Grandmaster Chi Yuan, it's been a long time!"

Smiling, Li Sushang greeted Fu Hua with a smile. Her smile remained genuine and clear, revealing a pure beauty as if all artifice had been washed away.

"Yes, it must have been five hundred years since we last met."

Looking at the face that wasn't entirely unfamiliar, Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion.

"Five hundred years..."

Upon hearing this number, Bronya and the others were immediately struck by a tremendous shock in terms of the passage of time.
