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

Unaware of the blonde Valkyrie's emotions, Kiana added, her smile widening.

"Ah, yes..."

Seeing her younger sister's bright smile, Youlandailun subconsciously looked away, not daring to look directly at the girl's radiance.

"This time, we will definitely win."

Kiana gently gave the Knight a hug, then stepped past the Valkyrie and moved forward.

Looking at the girl's strong and powerful back, Durandal was stunned for a moment before whispering to herself, "Shihen, you absolutely can't be Bai, you absolutely can't..."

Of course, no one knew what Guren was thinking. Kiana continued forward along the road, and the authority of the deceased Herrschers finally appeared one by one, along with the lingering resentment in their hearts, which the girl also sensed.

It erodes the Herrscher's yearning for eternal existence, dominates the Herrscher's malice stemming from a thousand people, and... binds the Herrscher's determination to sacrifice herself to win back her beloved.

clatter--

Kiana suddenly stopped, a wave of panic washing over her.

Even though the boy has become a Herrscher of Restraint, why is Otto still the one representing the authority of restraint?

Is it because of the special nature of the authority of false gods?

Having made an explanation for the boy in her heart, Kiana finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking.

They soon reached the true end of the road, where a curtain of light suddenly blocked the girl's path.

Aren't you going to say something?

Kiana murmured to herself, as one of her eyes turned gold at the same time.

"Hmph! If you can't even win this, then I'm taking that guy to a place where nobody can find us."

"Cirin spoke coldly."

"Don't worry, I have no intention of giving you the mark."

Smiling, Kiana stepped forward and merged into the light.

.........

“It’s time, Boss Kevin.”

Looking at the Flying Chess game in front of him, which was only a few rounds away from deciding the winner, Shihen sighed regretfully.

"Aren't we going to wait for them to come back?"

Kevin raised his head slightly and asked, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Although he believed the boy had the ability to defeat the [Karma Demon] on his own, with the power of the end, the [Savior] and the [Karma Demon] were not even in the same league.

“There’s no need. I’ve already secured all the chips. And…”

Meeting Kevin's surprised gaze, Shihen simply shook his head slightly, "We always have to leave them with a little surprise, don't we?"

He smiled and said, a smile unconsciously curving his lips.

With Kiana and the others' will to advance in the dream, and combined with the actions of Seele and Li Sushang on Earth, the spiritual giant created by the Stigmata Project is no longer indestructible.

Furthermore, with the addition of the End Authority that Kiana gained after becoming the Herrscher of the End, Kevin has now been weakened to the greatest extent.

In other words, he now possessed the qualifications to fight against the "Savior".

"Then... let's go."

Sensing the strong confidence in the boy's tone, Kevin nodded without much hesitation, and his aura finally burst forth without restraint.

P.S. Step forward, this is the inscription of [Salvation].

Chapter 242 The King's Final Showdown

boom--

Amidst the deafening roar, the lunar surface within a radius of tens of miles collapsed and caved in. Shihen's figure was also thrown out by the impact, only managing to stop after transforming into the [Karma Demon] form with wings and horns.

As the dust and mist gradually dissipated from the crater, a pale, humanoid behemoth slowly emerged.

With its pale white carapace as a base, the gold and purple patterns add a strong sense of mystery and majesty, while the white wings and whip-like tail extending from its spine are proof that it is different from humans.

This is the furthest distance a fusion warrior can reach on the path of artificial collapse, a "savior" posture that completely surpasses the "Karma Demon" form.

At this point, it's less accurate to say that Kevin is still human, and more accurate to say that he has completely embraced the Honkai, transforming into an End Beast capable of bringing destruction to the world!

"Are you ready to face everything I've been carrying?"

Kevin looked up and asked, the golden patterns in his eyes lighting up and radiating an aura even more imposing than mountains.

"Bring it on, Boss Kevin."

With a smile, Shihen slightly opened his palm and conjured a white baseball bat.

"Ah."

Kevin glanced at the boy once more, nodded slightly and said nothing more, his wings spread open, revealing two wingtips that looked like blades of light.

Only a blurry afterimage remained in the air as Kevin instantly appeared in front of the boy, his wings closing behind him like a heavy sword as he slashed straight down.

boom!

He only had time to block the bat in front of him before Shihen's body slammed back to the ground like a smashed badminton shuttlecock, creating a new crater on the lunar surface.

Even though it's only a stage difference, after receiving the power of the end, Kevin's transformation into the "Savior" is on a completely different level from the "Karma Demon."

It is no exaggeration to say that the gap between the two is even greater than that between an adult and a child.

If he only possesses the power of [Karma Demon], then even a boy whose talent surpasses Kevin's by half a level would be helpless. His only option would be to wait until Kevin and Kiana are both severely injured before stepping forward and saying something from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, Shihen's advantages have never been limited to the power of fused warriors.

boom--

Suddenly, a crackling sound rang out as two blue fire dragons, each over a hundred meters long, roared and charged out from the bottom of the crater, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Kevin.

"The authority of the Herrscher of Flame?"

Somewhat surprised, Kevin glanced at the menacing blue fire dragon and summoned a double-edged greatsword over two meters long.

For a human, even in his [Karma Demon] form, this type of sword seemed excessively large.

But for Kevin now, this sword of the end is perfectly suited.

Swah——

With his slender body outstretched, Kevin simply swung his greatsword, and the two roaring fire dragons that were trying to incinerate everything were easily dismembered. Their massive bodies disintegrated into countless blue sparks and disappeared into the air.

Before the end, even attacks from Herrscher-level beings are no different from those from a child, unable to have the slightest effect.

"This is just the beginning."

With a soft shout, Shi Hen's body shot out like a hawk, and a golden chain in his hand began to extend continuously, which was the binding power inherited from Otto.

Faced with the boy's attack, Kevin did not hesitate to confront him head-on, his greatsword shining with a sun-like brilliance.

call out--

In the cold, desolate night sky, two figures approached each other at an incredible speed, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, their light growing ever brighter and more dazzling.

But just as the two were about to collide, Shihen's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Kevin in an instant, with only a golden chain in his hand wrapping around the man's body.

After obtaining the Herrscher authority from Kiana through Synchro, he has gained mobility equivalent to the Herrscher of the Void, making him fully capable of competing with the girl for the title of the fastest being in the Collapsed World.

With a slight smile, Shihen felt a strong tremor coming from the chains, as if they were binding some kind of primordial beast.

For any Herrscher, even Durandal who has now become the Origin Herrscher, the binding force is strong enough to restrict her considerably.

But for Kevin, the "savior," this binding authority was not much stronger than ordinary chains.

Even though the boy gained the power of restraint, he also acquired the false god's power from Otto.

"Boss Kevin, I'm sorry to offend you."

Not missing this fleeting opening, Shihen immediately turned around, and the baseball bat in his hand emitted an extremely bright light.

Without using any Herrscher authority, this attack contained only pure Honkai energy, which was also the best way to unleash the power of a young man.

After all, no matter what kind of authority it is, the Herrscher's attacks still have an upper limit, that is, they cannot exceed the framework set by the Cocoon of the End.

In this battle between the final bosses, any authority is merely icing on the cake; only the purest power can determine the victor.

boom--

The silver baseball bat slammed heavily into Kevin's back. In an instant, it was like a meteorite hitting the earth. A loud bang suddenly exploded, and Kevin's body was blasted towards the moon, creating a huge crater more than ten miles wide.

"Good, very good, you really do exceed my expectations."

Amidst the billowing dust, Kevin slowly rose from the crater, his imposing figure still exuding immense pressure: "Fusion Warrior, Herrscher, unleash your full power, Shihen. Let me see if you are worthy to replace me in saving this world."

Speaking loudly, Kevin tore off one of his wings, which was tattered from defending against the boy's attack, and threw it aside. The golden markings in his eyes flashed with a bright light.

Although he couldn't understand where the Herrscher's authority over the boy came from, it didn't stop him from having high hopes for the boy.

If such a being existed, perhaps it could truly steal all the sun's brilliance?

As Kevin thought this, he felt his body, which had been constantly damaged and repaired by the power of the end, become a little lighter.

"Then you'd better watch closely, Boss Kevin, when I unleash my true full power..."

With a light laugh, Shi Hen's white divine robe quickly vanished, replaced by a golden scale armor, with only a moon-white pearl on his chest shimmering with a star-like brilliance.

This is the power of the stars he obtained through the holy sword [Durandal], which allows him to draw power directly from the Sea of ​​Quanta.

Although he does not possess the Holy Sword now, for him, Durandal is merely a key to unlocking that power.

Just like Susanoo in the movie next door, once this power has been used, the holy sword that serves as the medium is no longer necessary.

Honkai Beasts and humans, Herrschers and false gods, imaginary numbers and quantum mechanics... all kinds of different powers are combined into one body, and Shihen finally has the qualifications to compete with [Savior].

Feeling various forces surging through his body, Shihen flashed in front of Kevin, his baseball bat, imbued with multiple forces, smashed down on the man.

when!

In a flash, Kevin raised his sword to block, looking up at the boy before him. Their gazes clashed, and sparks seemed to fly.

Without the slightest hesitation, one side was a warrior from a previous civilization bearing the inscription of "Salvation," and the other was a young man with cheat codes who aspired to become the mastermind behind the scenes. The strongest of the two eras clashed once again.

This time, the battle between the two is no longer the contest they had in the Sea of ​​Quanta, but a life-or-death duel where they are truly gambling with their paths.

Therefore, this battle will determine both the victor and the vanquished, and will decide life and death.

Boom——

Although their size was not as large as that of a typical tank-class Honkai Beast, the battle between Shihen and Kevin was like two giants fighting desperately. The surrounding terrain was rewritten time and time again with their collisions. Even mountains over a thousand meters high were as fragile and brittle as sandcastles on a beach, constantly undergoing a cycle of breaking and rebuilding.

In this battle of pure strength, Shihen and Kevin's bodies gradually became fragmented, just like the broken weapons in their hands.

Even though the authority of the false god and the power of the end both granted the two near-immortality, as the intensity of the battle continued to rise, this "infinite" power became somewhat insufficient.

Bang!

Once again, the baseball bat and the greatsword clashed violently, and the two figures were thrown backward at the same time, crashing into several mountain peaks before finally coming to a stop.

"call--"

He let out a long sigh of relief, and Shihen stretched his aching body. Several scale-shaped armor plates immediately fell off his body and turned into light spots and disappeared. "As expected, Boss Kevin, you are not your average strongman now."

Sighing, Shihen glanced around at the completely altered final crater.

It's fortunate that this battle took place on the moon; otherwise, if the battlefield had been on Earth... the secondary disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis alone would have been enough to cause a major crisis for all of humanity.

At the very least, the raven would definitely roll around on the ground.

"You've surprised me too. To achieve this all by yourself, you're more outstanding than all of us."

Looking at the boy in front of him, whose body was completely covered in wounds, Kevin nodded slightly and did not hold back his praise.

Fifty thousand years ago, he and his seven remaining comrades fought against the End, but they only managed to slightly delay the enemy's march toward destroying the world.

But now, after becoming the Herrscher of the End, his strength far surpasses that of the Herrscher of the End 50,000 years ago, yet the boy can still maintain a fairly even match with him for quite some time.

If the other person had been born 50,000 years ago, perhaps their ending would have been different?

Unfortunately, even though the young man was able to fight him without being at a disadvantage, the end was still not an easy obstacle to overcome.

Compared to the vast and powerful power of the end times, enough to change the world, the opponent...

The power within my body was ultimately lacking.
