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

when!

In a flash, Sakura immediately drew her sword to block the attack, and Yingjie's purple longsword was also stained with some mottled green.

"Miss Mei!"

Shouting loudly, Sakura disregarded the impact of the Corrupting Herrscher on herself and launched an even more frenzied attack on the opponent.

"Mei, as a fellow Herrscher, don't you even have the courage to fight me?"

The Herrscher of Corruption laughed mockingly, easily dealing with and suppressing the attacks of the fox-eared hero.

"...In that case, I'll leave this place to you." Upon hearing this, Mei immediately made up her mind.

The more the Herrscher of Corruption tried to persuade her to stay, the more correct Hua and Ying's suggestion seemed, to the point that even the Herrscher of Corruption felt wary.

With this thought in mind, Mei transformed into lightning and sped away without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, the Herrscher of Corruption's expression changed slightly. He was about to give chase when Hua stepped forward and stopped him.

"Sorry, Herrscher of Corruption, your opponent this time is us."

He spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with the unwavering determination of a warrior as he looked at the Herrscher.

"Heh heh heh, even Kevin isn't a match for me, so what do you think you can do?"

Her gaze swept over the two heroic figures before her, and the Herrscher of Corruption laughed in fury. "Herrscher of Corruption, you underestimate humanity."

Looking at the mottled green light that had reached her wrists, and then at the Herrscher of Corruption in front of her who looked exactly like the boy, Sakura gently shook her head and said.

Although she wasn't entirely clear on what had happened in Paradise, based on her understanding of the boy, she knew he was not someone who would easily be defeated by a Herrscher of Corruption.

After all, even though the boy possessed strength comparable to Alicia's, he still pretended to be a weakling by her side for a long time, just to learn cooking techniques from the pre-civilization era.

For someone with such thoughts to say that the other party would lose to the Herrscher of Corruption... she suspected that the Herrscher of Corruption had been tricked by the boy.

Besides, unlike those memory entities that can be countered by the Herrscher of Corruption, the possession that the boy left in the Paradise of the Past has never relied on memories and data!

If things had truly spiraled out of control, the real enemy would have already stormed into Paradise.

"Oh? So you want to show me human stupidity?"

Naturally unaware of what Sakura was thinking, the Corruptor smiled and said, her eyes full of confidence.

He had already dealt with all the powerful heroes in the Paradise, and most of the others were no match for him. He simply didn't know how he could possibly lose.

Even the trump card Sakura mentioned for defeating Sode... even the most special future boy was devoured by Him. What hope do these people have left?

"Then let's let our strength speak for itself."

"Of course I won't explain the current situation to the Herrscher of Corruption," Sakura said with a serious expression, exuding a chilling and murderous aura.

In an instant, their eyes met. Without further delay, the three of them clashed together, and the aftershocks of energy grew increasingly terrifying as the battle escalated.

Meanwhile, Durandal's battle continues.

"..."

Surrounded by endless darkness, the female knight gritted her teeth, her face growing solemn.

If it were a fair fight, she was certain she would never lose to Vervière.

But now...

Feeling the cage-like space, Durandal's expression darkened slightly, and she summoned the holy sword [Durandal] with a single hand.

Having been ambushed by Vilvi using some unknown power, she could only try to see if she could tear open this space with the power of the Holy Sword.

As she thought this, the holy sword in Durandal's hand shone even brighter, like a golden sun rising slowly.

"Please wait a moment, Durandal."

"W-Could we stop for a moment? Visitor..."

Two voices suddenly rang out, and the scene around the knight princess changed rapidly, from deep darkness to a bright study. A gray-haired man and a brown-haired woman appeared in front of the girl at the same time.

“Su?Vilvie?”

She couldn't help but cry out, and Durandal's gaze immediately turned wary as she looked at the latter.

Although she didn't know why Sue was here, she remembered that she had been ambushed and brought here by Wilvi.

Even though, she felt very strange about this Vervier now.

"Don't worry, Durandal, this Velvet is not the same person as the one outside."

Sensing the Knight's current mood in an instant, Su spoke up to explain. "Hmm?"

She blinked in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

Didn't the villainous Velvi say she eliminated all her personalities? How come there are still other personalities here?

"No matter how many times a person divides their thoughts, there will always be an original self within them, right?"

"Illie explained in a low voice, her tone revealing an inexplicable fragility," Vilvi explained.

"You are the original Velvi?"

Looking at Velvi, whose personality was completely different from all others, Durandal couldn't help but show deep surprise.

Whether they are the "Great Magicians" who are passionate about performing, the "Experts" who are proficient in mechanical technology, or even the "Extreme Evil" who claims to be the embodiment of evil, they are all exceptionally talented geniuses.

But the original Virvie... Durandal in front of her felt like a rabbit cornered.

"If you're referring to the chronological order in which personalities were born, then I should be..."

The.

Wilvi nodded.

Although she lacks genius-level abilities due to having too many fragmented thoughts, she is, in a sense, the original Velvi, the beginning and source of all Velvi personalities.

Yulandel: "..."

Does the word "originally" have any other meaning?

Shaking her head, not dwelling on the matter any longer, Durandal's gaze immediately fell on the gray-haired man: "Speaking of which, Su, what are you doing here?"

Even though it wouldn't be difficult for Sue to infiltrate Wilvi's mind with her power, she always felt that there was something strange about it.

"I sensed something was wrong here through the Second Divine Key, and I came to check it out because I was a little worried."

Facing the suspicious gaze of the female knight, Su calmly explained, her tone frank and without any trace of concealment.

So, that's really how it is?

As if she had understood something, Velvi suddenly asked.

Although she didn't quite understand what was going on with the changes in the Herrscher of Corruption, she could already sense a certain aura that was inherited from Alicia.

"Yes, that should be it," Su nodded.

When he realized that the enemy lurking in Paradise was the Herrscher of Corruption, he had already vaguely guessed the boy and Alicia's plan.

This speculation was completely confirmed, especially when the appearance of the Herrscher of Corruption was seen through the Second Divine Key.

This is the true value of the name "Tianhui".

"So, what exactly did you understand?"

Seeing the two heroes seemingly using in-game voice chat, Durandal became even more bewildered.

"I'm sorry, Durandal, I can't go into the details."

Please go to the deepest place later, where Eden will answer all your questions.

Su shook her head gently.

Yulandel: "..."

She had never hated riddle tellers as much as she did now.

Without further explanation to the knight, Su turned to Wilvie and asked, "Do you need any help?"

Even though he had always believed in his companion's genius, the other party's current situation was clearly not very good.

His mind was dominated by the personality that colluded with the Herrscher of Corruption, and he couldn't figure out how his opponent could turn the tide now.

"I think it's unnecessary. Although I don't have much ability, there are still some things I can do."

Shaking her head weakly, the scene around her suddenly changed the moment she finished speaking. The bright study turned into a dark space, and another woman named Vervie with an arrogant expression appeared in front of the three of them.

Even though she has become weak due to the fragmentation of too many thoughts, the original Velvey is still Velvey, and still possesses the ability to interfere with the extreme evil to a certain extent.

"Hehehe... Look what I've discovered!"

"A fool kept in the dark, a self-proclaimed prophet, and..."

Laughing loudly, [Extreme Evil] Velvi suddenly paused, her expression turning ferocious. "You really didn't truly disappear, the [Original] Velvi!"

As she spoke, [Extreme Evil] Velvi looked at her other self with eyes full of hatred.

If her feelings for the other personalities were merely jealousy, then for the "original" Velvi, who had created her personality but then imprisoned her for fifty thousand years, her heart was filled with nothing but hatred.

After all, the other person was the root cause of all her suffering!

"Yes, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Initially," Vilvi nodded in reply, a hint of apology on her face.

"Stop talking to me in that condescending tone. I am the strongest Velvi now!"

Undoubtedly regarding this behavior as arrogance, [Extremely Evil] Velvi angrily retorted, "Even if you've brought two helpers, I still have allies on my side."

Moreover, as the corruption of the Herrscher of Corruption intensifies, the protection she receives from the Herrscher of Corruption will become stronger.

Even if Kevin were to come back to life, he could not possibly defeat her, who is allied with the Herrscher of Corruption.

"Yes, I know. You are much stronger than me now."

She nodded slightly again, her face initially displaying an expression of vulnerability and fragility. "However, since this is a contest between Wilvies, there's no need to involve others, is there?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the mottled green light surrounding [Extreme Evil] Velvi instantly faded away.

At the same time, the darkness in the distance seemed to be stimulated and surged, like a prehistoric beast ready to devour its prey.

Swish!

Without hesitation, Su raised his hand and immediately summoned a light green hemispherical shield that firmly protected the group, rendering the surging darkness ineffective.

"You, you all..."

Seeing the Herrscher of Corruption, whom she relied on so heavily, isolated in this way, [Extreme Evil] Velvet's expression changed.

"good chance!"

Her eyes lit up instantly, and Durandal was just about to take the opportunity to deal with [Extreme Evil] Velvet, but she was stopped by Su the next second.

"Leave the matter between you and Wilvie to Wilvie."

He spoke softly, and Su opened her eyes, her red eyes flashing with a mottled green light that flickered in the depths.

As a memory entity that relies on Paradise data for its existence, when he comes into contact with the Herrscher of Corruption, he has no choice but to endure the corruption from the Herrscher.

This is why the Herrscher of Corruption is so powerful in Paradise that she is almost invincible.

"..."

Looking at Su, who seemed to have exhausted all her strength just by maintaining her defenses, and then at [The First] Velvet, who exuded an aura of weakness, Durandal hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

On the other side, ignoring the minor controversy behind her, [Initially] Velvi walked firmly toward her other self, her steps quite slow, befitting the weak.

Do you think you can win like this?

Even if I kill you, I will still be the only Velvi!

Shouting to her other self, [Extreme Evil] Velvi waved her hand and summoned countless cannons, the beams of fire lighting up like countless stars in the night sky.

But that's impossible.

"Initially," Vilvi said earnestly, and then countless cannons exploded, and colorful sparks rose and scattered in all directions, like a magnificent fireworks show.

"【The Great Magician】?"

Sensing a familiar aura, [Extreme Evil] Velvi's expression turned even more grim.

Having broken free from 50,000 years of suppression, how could the "Great Magician" still exist if she had clearly eliminated all other personalities!?

"He's a con artist."
