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

Looking at the boy who appeared in such an illogical way, Prometheus tilted his head. Although his expression and tone were still mechanical and devoid of much emotion, his doubts were unmistakably revealed.

"I see. You must be the [Walter White] that Mei mentioned, right?"

After carefully examining the boy, Dr. Mei said thoughtfully.

"Dr. Mei, are you really so confident in your own guess?"

Shihen chuckled and asked.

"To become Kevin's collaborator, you first have to be special enough. And as it stands, there are indeed many things about you that I can't see clearly."

Dr. Mei stated frankly.

Leaving aside the authority of the Herrscher of Binding and the Herrscher of Corruption, the authority of the Herrscher of the Void... clearly belongs to that girl named Kiana.

Even though the Herrschers of this era have changed a lot because of Alicia's sacrifice, the same authority should not be shared by two people.

Moreover, Kiana and the others were clearly unaware that the boy possessed multiple powers.

"This is indeed a very good entry point."

Nodding, Shi Hen's smile became more playful: "But Dr. Mei, aren't you worried about your own safety at all?"

"Because you are Kevin's friend."

Dr. Mei shook her head slightly, showing no fear on her face: "Besides, I am just a fleeting dream, what do I have that is worth coveting?"

Kiana's actions gave the World Bubble a chance to reconnect with the tip of the Imaginary Tree, but because the World Bubble is too small, it will most likely still be captured and merged by the original world that is carrying out the Stigmata Project.

In this process, she and Prometheus will naturally dissipate into the original world, just like a miniature meteorite that burns up completely in the atmosphere after hitting the Earth.

Life is like a dream, fleeting like a bubble; this is the inescapable fate of the vast majority of world bubbles.

The only difference between this world bubble and other world bubbles is that it can have a momentary contact with the original world, giving her and Prometheus a fleeting chance to defy fate.

Of course, the chances were so slim that there was no need to bring it up and cause unnecessary sadness.

"Since Dr. May has put it that way, then I will accept Prometheus without any hesitation."

Seeing Dr. Mei's high level of understanding, Shi Hen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said...

Prometheus: "???"

"I'm glad you value Prometheus, but for us who exist in relation to the World Bubble, disappearance is just a matter of a moment, and I'm afraid we can't help you much in our own world."

He shook his head and reiterated, a hint of helplessness in Dr. Mei's expression.

She herself was as fragile and easily destroyed as a bubble, so naturally she wouldn't impose any restrictions on Prometheus, who had been with her for 50,000 years.

The problem is that the other side also has a hard time surviving the changes in the world bubble.

"However, there's still a chance, isn't there?"

Shihen smiled and said, his face full of unwavering confidence.

For Kiana, who only possesses the authority of the Herrscher of the Void, prolonging the lives of Dr. May and Prometheus is a matter of pure luck.

But... he also has considerable authority in the Stigmata Project.

Leaving some leeway for Dr. Mei in the Stigmata Project is not a difficult task for him.

"you mean…"

Dr. Mei immediately understood something from the boy's expression, and a glimmer of hope rose in her eyes.

"Dr. May, you must really want to see Kevin again, right?"

Shihen said directly, a confident smile curving his lips.

Although he is only a shadow of Dr. Mei from the original world, he inherits most of her thoughts and emotions, so it is not unreasonable to regard the Dr. Mei in front of me as a continuation of the original world.

At least in their attitudes toward Kevin, the two are indeed of the same ilk.

"Did Kevin send you?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Mei's face showed a hint of surprise.

"No, this should be considered a bit of my personal enthusiasm. In the near future, I will give Kevin a final performance. If there is no one to see him off at that time, it would be too unworthy of a hero."

Shihen explained calmly, as if it were something that had been destined all along.

"You want to kill Kevin?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Mei's face showed deep surprise.

Having had contact with Kiana and others, she had no doubt that the boy was capable of doing this.

But why did the other side choose the timing of the Stigmata Project?

This was absolutely the worst time to kill Kevin.

Even from the perspective of fighting against the collapse, Kevin should have been able to achieve a better ending with the help of the boy.

"..."

Faced with Dr. Mei's question, Shihen simply chuckled softly without answering, his gaze slowly falling on the artificial intelligence beside him: "Prometheus, you probably don't want your doctor's long-cherished wish of fifty thousand years to be completely dashed, do you?"

Prometheus. "..."

No, what decent person would think of threatening an artificial intelligence?

Instinctively, Prometheus wanted to refuse the boy, but then he thought of Dr. May, who had created him and given him wisdom, and hesitated.

"Stop teasing Prometheus, Time Mark."

Seeing his assistant's extremely conflicted expression, Dr. Mei couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "As long as you can keep Prometheus in the original world, I'm willing to let her become your assistant. Of course, the premise is that you also have to give her appropriate treatment and not treat her too harshly."

Although whether artificial intelligence possesses human rights is a highly controversial topic, she prefers to see Prometheus as a real, flesh-and-blood assistant rather than merely a tool to assist her.

"I'm sorry, I've done some things so much that they've almost become habits."

Shihen smiled and explained.

Prometheus: "..."

This is clearly worse, okay?

Suddenly, she became even more resistant to becoming the boy's assistant.

She had a feeling that once she got to the boy's side, he would make her work overtime like crazy.

"Then let me reintroduce myself. Our company, Destiny, has always offered industry-leading salaries and benefits, strictly adheres to an eight-hour workday, and provides weekends off and all holidays. Emergency overtime is also paid double. I wonder if Miss Prometheus would be interested in changing jobs?"

Shihen said with a smile.

Well, at least in the field of artificial intelligence, Void Treasury, who can occasionally outwit Otto, is doing better than Klein, right?

As for salary and benefits... have you ever seen World Serpent pay Klein a salary?

Once Prometheus is lured over, Shihen believes that Klein will properly teach him what "corporate culture" is.

"That sounds perfectly reasonable."

Prometheus tilted his head, his gaze towards the boy filled with disbelief.

Would someone who has made coercing others a habit actually treat others like this?

"Alright, Prometheus, don't be so paranoid. Shihen was just joking with you."

Seeing the doubt in her assistant's heart, Dr. Mei smiled and comforted her, "Accept Shihen's suggestion and move towards your own future."

As Kevin's chosen collaborator, she believed that the boy could never be a bad person.

Even though the other party had personally promised to kill Kevin, she believed it was part of Kevin's plan.

“Since this is Dr. Mei’s order, I am willing to obey.”

Seeing this, Prometheus could only nod.

“It’s not an order, it’s a request. You have the right to refuse, Prometheus.”

Dr. Mei shook her head and explained.

She hopes her assistant will become an AI capable of independent thought, rather than just a tool for her.

"I don't understand..."

Under Dr. May's concerned gaze, Prometheus realized that his logic had failed him.

Otherwise, why would Dr. Mei issue an order first, yet hope that she would refuse?

"It's okay, I'll help you understand these things gradually."

He said with a smile, "Shihen is controlling the World Bubble to slowly align it with the Holy Mark Project, making its dissolution more gradual, and then..."

"Mistelin, the rest is up to you."

Shihen shouted loudly, and a graceful white-haired figure quickly materialized, undoubtedly the Saint Mark Spirit codenamed [Feather Rabbit], whose real name was Mistelin.

"You really know how to order people around, Bai."

Having quickly grasped the situation of this bubble world, Mistelin looked at the boy with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

It took her a tremendous amount of effort to weave a dreamscape for the World Serpent that could encompass the entire Earth.

However, the boy still demands that she provide customized services for certain people, and now he's even thrown a whole world of bubbles at her...

If she hadn't known that the other party was an organization leader on par with Kevin, one of the heads of the Stigmata Project, and her superior whom she knew best, she would have quit long ago.

"The capable should do more, after all, there are some things that only you can do."

Ignoring the resentment in the white-haired woman's eyes, Shihen smiled and said.

Even with considerable authority within the Stigmata Project, he still couldn't match the meticulous Stigmata mastery of [Feather Rabbit] when it came to manipulating its power.

of.

Upon hearing the boy's words, Misterin simply sighed softly. The dream created by the Stigmata Project immediately began to expand, causing the time that was pushing Dr. May toward dissolution to come to a standstill. Prometheus, on the other hand, directly merged into the Stigmata Dream in his complete form.

"This is……"

Having truly felt the changes happening to himself, Prometheus's tone was filled with surprise and doubt.

"I'm sorry, you are a non-ideological life form, and you can still maintain your self in the torrent of imaginary numbers. But that human... I can only let her time linger a little longer."

Looking at the black-haired doctor who was fast asleep like Sleeping Beauty, Misterin explained softly to Prometheus, her expression as compassionate as a saint.

How long will she have to wait?

Shihen asked.

"At most, only three days."

Mistelin said regretfully, her tone tinged with pity.

"That's enough."

Shihen nodded slightly and said.

If no intervention is taken, Dr. May would have already completely vanished by now, and all that remains is to gamble on whether her soul can hold out until Kevin joins her on his journey.

And now... he can also plan a three-day farewell for Kevin.

For a hero, such an ending is grand enough.

"Then, you'll be in charge of welcoming Prometheus and showing her around the organization's operations."

Smiling at Mistelin, Shihen's figure, which had remained there by virtue of the Herrscher of Corruption's authority, quickly faded and disappeared.

The curtain has been drawn for Kevin's exit, and it's time for him to face reality and deliver on that promise.

"..."

Watching the boy's figure disappear quickly, and then looking at the expressionless Prometheus beside her, Misterine felt as if she had been given some unwarranted task.

Chapter 230 The White-Haired Dumpling Wants a Happy Ending

On the other side, when Shihen and the others returned to reality, they saw a rather strange scene—the slender Seele was wielding a huge black and red chain claw and beating Durandal and Li Sushang.

Or to be more precise, it was Seele who was launching a one-sided, continuous attack on Li Sushang and Durandal, while the latter two were simply defending without retaliating.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the Herrscher Seele.

Her pretty face flushed instantly, and Seele quickly summoned several vines to block the chain claws, while questioning in a more serious voice, "[Seele], what are you doing!?"

"doing what?"
