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

The older one gets in the martial arts world, the more timid one becomes—this saying couldn't be more fitting for Suo.

That's why Shihen had to be careful in finding ways to contact the other party, for fear that the slightest disturbance would frighten Suo Juan and Gretchen into running away.

If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know how long it will be before he can find Gretchen again.

He can't possibly place all his hopes on some enlightened being, can he?

"..."

Kiana's blue eyes darted around as if pondering the boy's words. After a long while, her eyes suddenly lit up. "So, Hen, can you tell me, what kind of family are you and Alicia's older sister?"

With a light laugh, Kiana retied her long white hair, which had become somewhat disheveled during the battle, and her pair of moist, azure eyes gradually brightened, with the four-pointed star pattern symbolizing her Herrscher form shimmering like stars within them.

Shi Hen: “…”

Is this really the level of intelligence a paramecium could possess?

Meeting the girl's smiling gaze, Shihen couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn.

Now that things have come to this, he only has one choice left...

A moment later, the room, which had just cleared up, was filled with the pleasant chirping of insects once again.

…………

Time returns to the present.

Meeting the boy's worried gaze, Kiana thought for a moment and was about to explain when another voice rang out first.

"Suo! It is suo!"

My guess was right; the bubble-like state of this world is indeed caused by Saha!

With her beautiful eyes wide open, Shigure Kira glared at the enormous figure churning in the dark clouds, her face filled with barely suppressed rage.

"Suo? What's that?"

Shihen asked with a puzzled look, his sword-like eyebrows also furrowing slightly.

"An evil god who dwells deep within the Sea of ​​Quanta and has ruthlessly destroyed countless world bubbles!"

Shiyu Qiluo said through gritted teeth, and then explained the real reason why she came to the Salt Snow Holy City, "When I was still in the Shugs clan, I went to a world bubble that was destroyed by Sa."

That world bubble once prospered because of a mysterious energy source—star rock—but was ultimately destroyed by the uncontrolled explosion of star rock…

Her gaze occasionally drifted to the terrifying figure that appeared and disappeared in the sky. Shiyu Qiluo explained the properties of Star Rock Energy in a rather concise manner—it is inexhaustible, has an unusually stable nature, and is very easy for people to extract and use.

It can be said that Star Rock perfectly fulfills all of humanity's fantasies about energy, and the people in that world bubble naturally could not refuse such a gift from the gods.

Just as the world bubble became increasingly reliant on star rock, this gift finally revealed its sinister side—its ever-increasing numbers and more frequent out-of-control explosions ultimately turned the entire world bubble into ruins due to the collective loss of control over star rock.

……

As Shigure Kira finished speaking, the entire audience fell into a brief silence.

"But no Star Rocks have been found in the Holy City of Salt and Snow?"

The silence didn't last long before Kiana asked, looking puzzled.

"The 'Star Rock' in the Salt Snow Holy City must be another world."

Shihen said thoughtfully, "Just like how the people in that world yearned for new energy sources, Xingyan was born out of thin air."

The people of the Salt Snow Holy City longed for the dead to rise from the dead, and thus the twin world bubble of the Iron Sand Kingdom came into being.

"I think so."

Upon hearing this, Shiyu Qiluo couldn't help but give the boy an appreciative look. "Moreover, in an observation by the Shugs clan a long time ago, the location of Salt Snow Holy City should have only one world bubble."

Like the Star Rock, there is a world bubble that was created out of thin air later.

Will the Iron Sand Kingdom also explode like Star Rock?

Kiana continued to ask.

"Hey! Who cares if it explodes? That huge thing is about to rush into this world bubble!"

With an annoyed tone, the Herrscher of Knowledge revealed his spear, as if he were about to leap into the air and fight the monster in the clouds to the death.

Although its figure was constantly appearing and disappearing in the dark clouds, it was merely a shadow cast by the creature outside the world bubble; its true form remained in the quantum sea.

Even so, the Herrscher of Knowledge could still sense that terrifying aura that was no less powerful than that of a Herrscher, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of arrogance and excitement on his face.

Since the boy took away the Cocoon of the End, the Honkai in the original world has basically disappeared. There aren't even a few Honkai Beasts to be found on the huge Earth, which means that she, the Herrscher of Knowledge, can only exercise her body by doing exercises and boxing with Fu Hua every day.

Even though there are still quite a few Herrschers on Earth, she was too embarrassed to directly go up and ask for a fight.

That's stupid.

Besides, if she wins, that's fine, but what if she loses... Doesn't she, a dignified Herrscher of Knowledge, have any pride?

But now a chance to fight openly and honestly is presented to him, and it's a big guy who doesn't look like someone to mess with...

If she could easily defeat this guy, wouldn't she be able to steal the spotlight in front of everyone?

Upon thinking of this, the expression on the face of the Law Master became even more agitated.

"No! Leave that guy to Kiana!"

Only Kiana can absolutely keep it outside the World Bubble, preventing the people of Salt Snow Holy City from being harmed!

Reaching out to stop the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was already barely able to contain himself, Shihen spoke in a serious tone.

Since Sora wants to stop Kiana from saving the world, then let her have her way.

After all, if this game in Salt Snow Holy City ended so easily, how could he possibly steal the opponent's home base?

So let this battle drag on a little longer!

"Huh? Is Kiana alright?"

Seeing the girl's charming appearance, like a newlywed young woman, Shigure Kira instinctively expressed her doubts.

Although she could sense that Kiana was not weak, seeing the lingering coquettishness between the two's brows, she had good reason to suspect that the two had fought until dawn last night.

Seriously, even if you have a great relationship and strong desires, you should at least consider the time and place!

Countless images flashed through her mind unconsciously, and Shigure Kira's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Don't worry, Kiana is the strongest Herrscher of our time."

If even we cannot stop Sa, then the Earth will be at their mercy.

Shihen glanced at Vita, who was quietly playing the role of a passerby in the corner, and chuckled, his handsome face full of a confident smile.

Just as he had predicted.

Even if someone is timid and fearful, they are willing to be a little more aggressive in the face of the temptation of an authentic world planet.

Even if He fails, He will only lose some power and one agent, and can simply find another place to recuperate.

And if it succeeds... the energy that Earth can provide far surpasses that of countless world bubbles.

A small pond versus a vast ocean—this is a choice anyone would make.

"Well, I'll leave this to you."

Upon hearing this, Kiana pretended to ponder for a moment before nodding slightly. Her body immediately transformed into starlight and disappeared, and a dazzling flame quickly lit up outside the world bubble.

"..."

Seeing the opportunity that he had waited so long for snatched away, the Herrscher of Knowledge opened his eyes slightly and fell into a daze.

"Since Kiana has encountered an unexpected situation, let's implement the plan you initially devised, class president!"

Taking a deep breath, Shihen looked at Fu Hua and Mistelin, his dark eyes flashing with a kind of determination.

"Um……"

A glint of "I knew it" flashed in her eyes, and Mistelin summoned a banner without hesitation, slamming it heavily into the ground. Countless mottled lights immediately lit up, sending the Herrscher of Knowledge to the Sand Iron Kingdom.

"Hey! What are you guys doing! Don't you know what it means to respect the elderly and care for the young!"

Suddenly thrown into another world, the Herrscher of Knowledge immediately began cursing through the remaining passage.

It is precisely through this connection that Fu Hua fulfilled the first and only condition for becoming a Sage of the Tower—being able to walk between the two worlds of life and death.

rustle--

Without the slightest hesitation, the former Sage of the Tower swiftly lit up with light, which gathered and surged into Fu Hua's body, thus completing the transfer of the Sage's authority.

As the light surged, an obscure aura gradually intensified around Fu Hua, a clear indication that she had become a sage.

As if to protect the transfer ceremony, several white-clad divine messengers appeared, wielding scythes and rushing towards the boy... and behind him, a gray-haired girl.

Swah——

The long, flowing skirt, resembling a peacock's tail feathers, swayed rapidly, severing several divine messengers at the waist. The skirt, now transformed into chain-like blades, continued its relentless advance, wrapping around the boy's body and pressing the blades tightly against his chest.

“Vita? You…”

As if he hadn't expected this turn of events at all, Shihen's body trembled involuntarily as the chain blades cut into his skin, leaving streaks of blood. His handsome, gentle face turned pale instantly.

"I'm so sorry, everyone."

Actually... I am Sa's agent.

As if to show her pride, Vita spoke in an extremely slow tone, her pretty lips curving slightly upwards, though a fleeting hint of helplessness flashed deep in her eyes.

PS: Gurgle...

Chapter Thirty-Seven: To save the world, there are always those who repeatedly sacrifice their lives.

"Suo's...agent?"

As if he had been stunned for a long time before he reacted, Shihen's tone was full of disbelief.

"Yes, the agent of Sa."

The seemingly helpful guide is actually the villain; that's not such an uncommon trope, is it?

Nodding, Vita smiled knowingly, "Of course, I personally don't want to do that."

But who made me Sa's agent?

Since the higher-ups have issued requirements, I, as their agent, naturally have to run errands and carry them out.

She spoke in a light tone, but there was a hint of helplessness hidden in her voice.

As her words suggest, she had no particular preference for destruction.

But as Sa's agent, she had no other choice in this matter.

Even if that's how she feels inside, judging from her outward behavior, these people definitely won't let her go, right?

While thinking to herself, Vita took in the shock on Fu Hua and the others' faces, and a slight ripple of emotion stirred within her.

"Are you kidding me? You...liar!"

Release Shihen right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!

With a gritted-teeth expression, Shigure Kira immediately summoned a sniper rifle, its muzzle glowing with a faint blue light, and aimed directly at Vita's head.

Although Shihen and Kiana were the main people who interacted with Vita, Shigure Kira could vaguely sense the deep friendship among them just from the fact that the two of them brought Vita along when they saved the Salt Snow Holy City.

Furthermore, having shared dinner together the previous day, Shigure Kira found Vita's betrayal even more intolerable.

"That's right! As the saying goes, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost."

Release Shihen first, and we can discuss anything.

Or, I'll be your hostage!

The longsword in her hand, Ruoshui, revealed a faint sharpness, and Li Sushang couldn't help but show some anxiety on her face.

Even though she didn't interact much with the boy, he had come to Salty Snow City because of her and Mistelin. Kiana was also helping to defend against So's minions outside the World Bubble. How could she tolerate the boy getting into trouble in front of her?

Seeing the same scene, Misterin stood on her flag in a wary stance, while Alicia covered the mouth of the Azure Book and hid behind Fu Hua, protecting the still bewildered immortal in front of her.

"Hehe... It seems you are indeed very important to them, Shihen."

You shouldn't have let Kiana leave you. Exposing your weakness to an enemy like me is hardly a wise move.

Vita observed everyone's reactions and simply smiled softly.

Even though she didn't know why the feedback from reading her reflections was much less than before, as if something was being hidden by some force, she was still certain that the situation was under her control.
