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

But when she actually took the position, she found that many things were very different from what she had expected.

The most pressing issue is the reform of the Valkyrie unit.

Ultimately, the Valkyrie Squad is an army formed to deal with the threat of Honkai.

However, now that the Honkai has disappeared, maintaining such a large force seems unnecessary.

The right approach is to streamline administration and reduce personnel, and instead allocate more human and material resources to post-disaster reconstruction in various regions.

Of course, such a large army cannot be disbanded so easily. It also involves the resettlement of many Valkyries, which will take time to resolve.

Moreover, with the threat of collapse gone, the relationship between Destiny and the nations of the world naturally needs to be reconsidered.

Even after Anti-Entropy reunited, Destiny, with its many Herrschers, is stronger than ever before. However, leading humanity forward cannot rely solely on force. Mobilizing the enthusiasm of countries around the world and getting them to cooperate is the true way to succeed.

The thought of this seemingly endless work sent a chill down Durandal's spine, as if a window hadn't been closed properly.

Wait, the window...

Realizing what was happening, Durandal turned around and looked behind her, and sure enough, she saw a black-haired boy leaning against the windowsill.

"It's been a long time, Durandal."

Shihen gave the Knight Princess a gentle smile and waved to her.

"You bastard!"

Her face immediately turned red. Without hesitation, Durandal twisted her body, swung her fist, and delivered a thunderous blow straight at the boy.

Bang!

With just a slight lift of his hand, Shihen easily grasped the strongest Valkyrie's fist, neutralizing the terrifying attack that was powerful enough to tear apart a villa island.

"Hey, Durandal, it's only been a few months, you don't need to give me such a warm welcome, do you?"

Shihen asked with a smile.

"You guy..."

glaring at the boy in front of her with gritted teeth, Durandal's eyes practically spit fire.

Even though he had done that kind of thing, she couldn't believe how the boy could have the nerve to show up in front of her again.

"Calm down, Durandal."

"You're already a Bishop of Destiny, you can't be so impulsive."

Facing the sharp gaze of the female knight, which could easily dissect him, Shihen chuckled and offered his advice.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Durandal paused, and her expression gradually calmed down. "Let me go!"

With a delicate shout, Durandal looked at her fist, which was being held like a vise by the boy, and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Oh……"

He replied casually, and Shihen reluctantly released the girl's soft hand.

To be fair, although her daily training volume is among the highest in humans, the Knight Princess's hands don't have many calluses; instead, they remain as smooth and soft as those of an ordinary young girl.

It can only be said that Honkai energy is indeed omnipotent.

What is your purpose in coming here this time?

Shaking her slightly sore hands, Durandal asked with a complicated expression.

Although his actions were quite unethical, there is no denying that the boy truly saved the world.

"Don't look at me like that, Durandal."

I just wanted to say goodbye to you properly this time.

Shihen said with a smile.

"Goodbye?"

Frowning, Durandal asked, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

"Yes, I'm planning to leave this world."

Shihen nodded in reply.

"Leave...this world..."

Upon hearing this, Yulandai was immediately stunned.

"Durandal, have you thought about it?"

In that vast and boundless universe, every star is a world.

The Milky Way is so vast, how can we stay in the cradle forever?

Shihen said with a smile.

"What about Kiana and the others?"

Unmoved by the topic of the teenagers, Durandal coldly questioned, "Didn't you ever think about what would happen to Kiana and the others?"

Moreover, I…

Durandal instinctively wanted to say something to persuade the boy to stay, but then she remembered Kiana's disappointed expression after learning the truth, and swallowed her words back.

She is, after all, an older sister.

"..."

When Kiana and the others were mentioned, Shihen fell silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Just like you, they have their own paths, and I have my own future."

They are both very brave and strong girls, and I believe they will handle everything well.

Humanity has just defeated the Honkai, and the entire Earth is in a state of disrepair. He does not believe that Kiana and the others would abandon their responsibilities and run away to the galaxy with him.

Moreover, he was somewhat aware of his own actions.

If he dares to appear in front of Kiana and the others, there will likely be a bloodbath that won't end.

Therefore, running away secretly is the best course of action.

In any case, as far as this world is concerned, the cocoon of the end has been removed and taken away by him, and the threat of collapse cannot return. What remains is all the problem of humanity itself.

On the surface, humanity is led by a newly formed Chosen One, while in the shadows, the World Serpent, overseeing everything, is in charge of the Grey Serpent. If Durandal and the others can even mess up this situation, then he really has nothing more to say.

As for why he only bid farewell to Durandal... as the most serious and earnest of all, he believed that the Knight Princess would never do something like knocking him unconscious and locking him in the basement.

"You really are a complete bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Durandal clenched her fists again without hesitation.

Does this guy really not understand Kiana and the others' feelings for him?

Thinking of Kiana's sullen appearance during this time, Durandal immediately became furious, wishing she could beat the boy up and then bring him to Kiana to make her admit her mistakes and atone for her sins.

"I have never said that I am a good person."

Shihen shrugged.

"You...liar! You should at least go and apologize properly!"

Durandal stepped forward as if she wanted to punch the boy, but in the end she put her fist down, her eyes reddening as she buried her face in the boy's arms.

Not only Kiana and Mei, but she also deeply hoped that the boy would stay.

But she also knew that such a thing was ultimately just wishful thinking.

"Feel sorry……"

Seeing the strongest Valkyrie showing her vulnerable side for the first time in front of him, Shihen could only rub the girl's small head and gently stroke her soft, smooth long hair.

"..."

Without saying anything more, Durandal simply hugged the boy tightly, burying her face in his chest, wanting to remember this precious moment that belonged only to the two of them.

When the boy was still in his white-masked identity, their relationship was certainly one of mutual respect like rivals, but it was also separated by a thick barrier called factions.

Now, all the barriers have vanished, and she no longer needs to worry about the distinction between good and evil.

only……

After a long while, Durandal finally raised her head slightly and said in a soft, cat-like voice, "Could you... change into the lower white form a little?"

The boy belongs to Kiana, so as the older sister, she naturally has to give way to her younger sister.

But... the white mask is different.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shihen's black hair turned white and grew longer, and a white plum blossom-shaped pupil pattern appeared in his bright black eyes.

"Hmm~"

Seeing this, Durandal stood on tiptoe and directly sealed the boy's lips with hers, launching an attack in an awkward but earnest manner.

"..."

Feeling the girl's fiery passion, Shihen was slightly taken aback, but then responded with his heart.

The usually serious and reserved female knight rarely sets aside her reserve, so how could he let her down?

Using all the skills he knew, Shihen did his best to give the girl the most perfect first experience.

After a long while, when she felt her body was about to go completely limp and her breathing became a little labored, Durandal finally released the boy, her long, shapely, and muscular legs involuntarily rubbing together slightly.

"Damn it! How come you're so skilled at this?!"

After wiping the glistening liquid from the corner of her mouth, Durandal's gaze towards the boy was filled with resentment.

Shi Hen: “…”

Is this his fault?

"If you want to leave, then go ahead. I'll explain things to Kiana."

With a gentle push, Durandal sighed softly and said, "I'm pushing the boy away."

Although she didn't know how the boy planned to leave this world, since he had already made up his mind to leave, she couldn't possibly stop him.

“I’m sorry, Bianca. There’s also…”

Softly, Shihen pinned up the Knight Ji's long, wavy, golden hair, saying, "Happy birthday."

As he spoke, Shihen inserted a plum blossom-shaped hairpin, made of crystal, into the back of the girl's head.

"..."

Subconsciously touching the crystal hairpin that still held the boy's warmth, Durandal looked at the empty window in front of her and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Seriously, what kind of happy birthday is this..."

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

Moments later, at Destiny Airport.

As a train that looked no different from an ordinary train sped out from the depths of the floating island, Theresa and the others who had rushed over after hearing the news had complicated expressions.

One particular white fluffy ball, in particular, wilted completely, like a frostbitten eggplant.

After learning that the boy's actions were all to free her from her duties as the Herrscher of the End, the girl was initially pleased with herself.

But as the other party stopped sending any messages after the Stigmata Project was discontinued, Kiana's heart sank deeper and deeper.

Having once been a Herrscher of the End, she knew exactly what the power of the End could achieve.

If the boy really cared, he could talk to her on the phone for hours every day, and the kind of ideological exchange that was almost indistinguishable from talking face-to-face.

However... several months passed, and nothing happened in her life.

Moreover, judging from the various arrangements left behind by the boy, it seems that he has no intention of returning to Earth.

She even went to the moon several times during this period, but never found even the slightest trace of the boy.

It was as if... the other person was deliberately avoiding her.

At this point, the truth seems quite clear.

Even though there were so many signs that indicated the boy's determination, Kiana still harbored a glimmer of hope in her heart.

After all, what if the boy is unable to contact her for other reasons?

Once the other party returns from the Cocoon of the End, the truth will be revealed, and she will be able to stay with the boy forever, living out a fairytale ending.

But... reality is not a fairy tale.
