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

"Miss Rita, I hope you can understand."

Entropy Reversal is not the North American branch it was sixty years ago, and it will never become the North American branch it once was.

Einstein also spoke up, his tone becoming more serious. "Of course I understand that."

Nodding, Rita's expression remained unwavering, "But Lady Durandal has lost contact, and my power is insufficient to fully control destiny."

Therefore, at least until Lady Durandal returns to Destiny, I hope that Lord Timemark can lend a helping hand to Destiny.

This was not due to Walter White's coercion, but rather my own genuine request!

And I believe the other Valkyries share the same view.

Although Walter White issued the order out of contempt for the boy and a wicked sense of humor, Rita realized after careful consideration that it might indeed be a viable path.

“Miss Rita, please forgive my bluntness, but having never had any experience managing Destiny, nor the qualifications to gain the trust of the vast majority of Destiny’s members, I probably am not qualified to become a bishop.”

Shihen still firmly expressed his refusal.

Even a certain Zhuge Liang, a simple villager, believed in the importance of visiting Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times; naturally, he couldn't be too impatient.

So, struggle as hard as you can, Rita.

Don't expect him to agree to become the bishop unless you present him with a reason he can't refuse!

"Alliance Leader Shihen is too modest."

If there is anyone in this world who can lead humanity to victory against the Honkai and the World Serpent, then I believe you are the most promising candidate.

I believe this is why Bishop Otto, despite his initial doubts about you, still chose to entrust you with the authority to enforce your decisions.

She shook her head and said, a flame seemingly burning in Rita's eyes.

Even though she despised Otto's character, Rita still trusted his abilities and intelligence.

This is why she had previously agreed to test the boy. Now that Shihen has gained Otto's approval, all of Rita's previous doubts about the boy have transformed into doubled trust.

After all, even a sworn enemy like Otto was impressed by this opponent!

"that……"

Li Sushang suddenly raised her hand and said, blinking her brown eyes at the boy, "Being a bishop should be a good thing, right?"

"So, in that case, aren't you more related to that Walter guy?"

Although it was already certain that the boy was not the same person as [Walter White] as Otto had said.

But as the position of Bishop of Destiny changed, her intuition began to ring incessantly again.

After all, in the mind of a girl who was 500 years behind the times, the position of gang leader was usually not passed on to anyone but a trusted confidant.

As for why everyone looked so angry... that was something she couldn't understand.

Hearing Li Dazhentou's innocent words, everyone was taken aback, then shook their heads and smiled helplessly.

“Miss Su Chang may not know this, but the reason why [Walter White] allowed the Time Mark Alliance Leader to inherit the position of bishop was not out of any good intentions.”

As she spoke, seeing that Li Sushang still looked confused and puzzled, Rita's eyes flickered slightly before she smiled and continued, "For Miss Sushang, it's like breaking your favorite sword and then selling you a rusty one instead."

"Huh? Then this Walter guy really is a big bad guy!" Li Sushang immediately became indignant after instantly understanding the situation.

"Furthermore, if the Time Mark Alliance Leader really has a connection with [Walter White], then this matter is even less likely to happen."

Rita added with a smile, her gaze towards Li Dazhentou filled with tender affection.

Given the suspicions surrounding him, Walter White should have exercised restraint and refrained from showing excessive concern for the boy.

But the reality is that Walter White doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, and continues to do whatever he wants, completely disregarding their suspicions.

This unbridled behavior only confirms that the boy has no connection with [Walter White].

After all, there's a limit to going against the grain; surely Walter White can't treat them all like fools?

Perhaps only someone as simple-minded as Li Sushang would believe that Walter White's act of handing over the position of bishop was out of good intentions.

Upon hearing Rita's explanation, Shihen nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place; he was playing this trick of hiding the truth in the dark.

The less Walter White appears to care about him, the less likely he is to be suspected.

That's the power of a persona.

On the other side, having sensed the boy's incredibly powerful behind-the-scenes influence, Peggy couldn't help but begin to question the meaning of life.

Despite the fact that this was such a suspicious matter, the Valkyrie from Destiny not only did not suspect the boy, but also racked her brains to find reasons and excuses for him, and even did her best to help him succeed as the Bishop of Destiny.

Could this be any more outrageous?

"Alliance Leader Time Trace!"

Looking earnestly at the young man, Rita took a deep breath, her expression completely abandoning the elegance and composure of a maid, replaced by utter solemnity and seriousness. "For the sake of preventing Destiny from spiraling out of control, and for humanity to achieve final victory, I implore you with the utmost respect to seriously consider succeeding as the Bishop of Destiny!"

"..."

Meeting Rita's earnest gaze, Shihen did not immediately give an answer, but instead looked around at Einstein and the others.

This is a choice concerning the dignity of anti-entropy and the future of humanity, and it should not be decided by him alone.

"At a point like this, there's no need to hesitate, is there?"

Himeko pouted.

Humanity is on the verge of extinction; how many lives are left to value dignity?

"Jizi!"

While whispering a reminder, Theresa quickly tugged at her friend's sleeve. Even if the right path was laid out before them, it shouldn't be up to outsiders like them to make the choice.

"Ms. Himeko is right. I was too concerned about empty fame."

With a long sigh, Einstein's face showed a hint of relief. "Leader, do what you think is right. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"That's right, we can't let Anti-Entropy be looked down upon!"

Tesla also pumped its fist in agreement.

For Destiny, obeying the orders of [Walter White] must also be a matter of humiliation.

Even so, Rita made a decision quickly. If they hesitated, wouldn't it make them seem like they lacked awareness of anti-entropy? "I understand."

Nodding, Shihen turned to look at the short-haired maid whose eyes were full of expectation, "Miss Rita, before I take over the position of bishop, I also have a request."

"Please speak, Alliance Leader Shihen, Rita will do her best to fulfill your request."

Rita lowered her head and spoke in a humble tone.

“I can become the new Bishop of Destiny, but I must be the interim bishop. The true next bishop of Destiny should be elected by all the people of Destiny.”

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

As an excellent successor to the Will of Walter, he had absolutely no interest in the position of Bishop of Destiny.

Yes, that's right, that's the truth.

Whether others believed it or not, he firmly believed this. "Alliance Leader Shihen..."

Unable to resist looking up, Rita once again felt a profound and moving experience.

Even when faced with world-class power, one can still remain true to one's principles—what a noble character that is!

How could such a wonderful person be a demon like Walter White?

No, simply comparing the two is an insult to the youth's personality.

The thought that she had listened to Otto's judgment and doubted the boy's character filled Rita with a deep sense of guilt.

"Regardless of what others may think, in Rita's heart, you will always be a true bishop!"

With her head slightly lowered, Rita spoke in an extremely serious tone.

Shihen simply smiled at this, then turned his gaze to Fu Hua beside him and said, "Class monitor, according to [Walter White], the Twelfth Herrscher has likely already been defeated and eliminated."

So, could you tell me about the Thirteenth Herrscher? Why was it that the End was able to transcend the Thirteenth Herrscher and descend into the world?

"The Thirteenth Herrscher..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua sighed, a hint of emotion appearing in her eyes, as if she had returned to that incredibly distant time and space fifty thousand years ago.

Chapter 212 Today's Paradise Remains Shrouded in Mystery

"do not know."

In the newly opened Eternal Paradise, when faced with Mei's straightforward question, the warrior Hua shook his head and gave an answer without hesitation.

"As one of the Thirteen Heroes, how could you not know about the Thirteenth Herrscher?"

Looking at Hua's composed expression, Mei frowned immediately. She suspected that Hua was acting.

“Mei, there’s something you need to understand: the Thirteen Heroes were never a real group.”

"It only means that we are the last thirteen fusion warriors to survive the apocalypse; it doesn't necessarily mean that there is some special connection between us," Hua said earnestly.

"Thirteen..."

As Mei pondered this number, her brows furrowed. "What about Naraku? Isn't he a fusion warrior?"

Upon closer reflection, the other party had indeed never claimed to be a fusion warrior.

Moreover, she never seemed to see many of the side effects that other heroes experienced in men.

"I'm sorry, this is not a question I should answer for you."

He shook his head and said, his gaze shifting slightly, "Since the changes have already occurred in the Paradise of the Past, you should soon know the answer."

Mei Yi: "..."

She had heard this kind of perfunctory answer at least a hundred times in the Paradise of the Past.

But from Hua's behavior at this moment, she could already guess that the man named Naraku was not a fusion warrior.

But if the other party wasn't a Fusion Warrior, how could they leave a memory in Paradise?

As she pondered, a conjecture couldn't help but pop into Mei's mind. Besides fusion warriors, there must be another kind of being capable of stubbornly retaining all memories.

But the Thirteenth Herrscher is clearly Alicia!

Feeling increasingly lost in the fog of paradise, Mei had no choice but to bid farewell to Hua and continue onward, hoping to find other clues in this new hidden area.

Soon they arrived at a lawn, where a petite girl with short blue hair and two long ponytails hanging down her shoulders instantly caught Mei's attention.

If it were this girl...

Seeing the girl's innocent and naive appearance, Mei couldn't help but feel her heart flutter.

Although it's somewhat inappropriate to target children, she had her reasons.

Mei quickly found an excuse in her mind and was about to go up and have a friendly chat with Gretchen when she noticed a gray-haired man sitting at the other end of the grass with a smile on his face. The man was putting his index finger to his lips as a shushing gesture.

Following the man's direction, Mei noticed a drawing board in front of Gretchen. The girl's gaze was fixed on the drawing board, only occasionally glancing at the man, as if she were verifying or comparing something.

On the surface, this seems like just an ordinary outdoor sketching session, however...

As the girl applied the colors from the palette to the canvas, only to end up with a blank white canvas, Mei couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

After patiently waiting for Gretsch to put down her paintbrush, Mei couldn't help but ask, "Gretsch, can you tell me what you're painting here?"

"It's Naraku."

Greta answered calmly, her youthful voice revealing a hint of earnestness and seriousness.

"....

Looking at the blank drawing paper in front of her, and then at the girl's sincere face, Mei was speechless for a moment.

While the man's hair was indeed gray, isn't coloring the entire drawing paper white a bit excessive?

"The color of Naraku is a multicolored white."

As if sensing the girl's confusion, Gretchen explained, pointing to the drawing board with her finger.

Curious, Mei followed the girl's finger and realized that although the drawing paper looked white, a fleeting rainbow of colors could be easily captured by simply changing the viewing angle.

Yes, it is indeed white in various colors.
