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

One day, humanity will be able to do all of this with its own hands.

Stepping into the rear compartment, Shihen chuckled softly.

"Oh? Does Bishop Timemark have that much faith in humanity?"

Upon hearing this, Vita couldn't help but smile.

Although her contact with Earth was limited to a handful of people, including Shihen and Kiana, she still had some understanding of the technological level on this third planet in the solar system.

It is no exaggeration to say that compared to the Star Train they are currently on, humanity on Earth is as naive as a baby that has just learned to walk.

Furthermore, given the various setbacks and difficulties that may arise in the development of civilization, it remains to be seen whether humanity can grow up safely.

Even if the opponent seems to have defeated the Honkai.

"Because there has always been a group of people on that planet who believe in the light."

Shihen replied with a smile.

Although he was aware of the baseness that existed among humans, he also believed in the good, kind, and beautiful aspects of humanity.

After all, in the Stigmata Project led by Kevin, the human will to move forward and into the future was indeed strong enough to help him and Kiana achieve the final victory.

Shihen firmly believes that even if he, Kiana, and the others leave Earth in the future, the people on this planet will eventually be able to reach the stars with their own wisdom and strength.

Of course, he also readily offered all the help he could during this process.

"That really makes Xiaowei very excited about this planet!"

Vita clapped her hands lightly, revealing an exaggerated expression of joy, and her eyes flickered slightly. "However, Bishop Timemark didn't come here just to tell me about these things, did he?"

As she spoke, a hint of helplessness welled up in Vita's eyes.

At this point, a full half-month had passed since the final battle with Suo.

During this half-month period, she also got a taste of the hardships and difficulties of the future workplace.

Even though I'm glad that my time with the little Vitas won't be interrupted by So anymore, isn't it a bit too frequent for Shihen and Alicia to be intimate?

During this time, she had to deal with Gretsch, who came looking for her sister Alicia, almost every day, to prevent this innocent girl of fifty thousand years old from being exposed to the adult world too early.

Even if she genuinely enjoys spending time with a lovely girl like Gretchen, she should let her off the hook in this situation.

"..."

Upon hearing Vita's words, Shihen did not answer immediately, but instead looked at Yixin beside him.

"Xiao Yixin, could you ask Sister Gretsch if she's finished the drawing you asked me to do last time?"

Vita immediately understood what the boy meant, and gently patted Yixin's head to send the girl away.

"Hmph! Leave it to me, Vita-nee, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Not understanding the unspoken understanding between adults, Yi Xin patted his chest and immediately walked away.

"What a lovely child."

Looking at Yixin's energetic back, Shihen couldn't help but smile gently.

"This child was created with my and Gretchen's traits in mind, so Bishop Timemark had better not have any other ideas~"

Vita smiled gently.

Shi Hen: “…”

He felt that Vita seemed to have a very big misunderstanding about him.

Even if he has a lot of close female friends, he wouldn't be interested in children, would he?

"..."

Vita simply smiled and returned a polite look to the boy's helpless gaze.

The intelligence she painstakingly gathered showed that Shihen's hunting range was quite wide, from 50,000-year-old young girls to legal 18-year-old lolis, none of them were rejected.

"Getting back to the main point, what are your thoughts on the starry sky?"

Shihen cleared his throat and asked.

"The starry sky? Does that refer to the world outside our solar system?"

The playful expression on her face vanished, replaced by a serious look. Vita's brows furrowed slightly. "Using something like this as a test, Bishop Shihen is overestimating me."

Even the planet Saha knows absolutely nothing about anything outside the solar system.

Even though it reached the edge of the solar system many years ago, it still had no way to deal with the Honkai energy tidal zone that surrounded the outer edge of the solar system and blocked the flow of all matter and information.

Otherwise, the other party would have already drifted to other star systems, instead of being attacked by Shihen here.

"Is it because of the Honkai energy tidal zone?"

Knowing of the existence of such a thing, Shihen naturally understood the reason: "For you living in the solar system, it is a high wall that is not easily insurmountable."

But for some, this wall isn't as impenetrable as it seems.

For example, a few years later, a masked fool from the next film set will sneak into this galaxy and obtain the most precious treasure—a pair of knees that can be used to jump.

"???"

Vita blinked involuntarily.

"If you ever meet someone who claims to be the Masked Fool in the future, remember to give this to her and ask her to keep it safe for me."

Without offering any further explanation to Vita, Shihen tossed a white object to the woman.

"mask?"

Looking at the pure white mask in her hand, devoid of any superfluous decoration, Vita's doubts deepened.

"When you meet someone who will show you another mask, you will naturally understand all of this."

He glanced at the white mask in the woman's hand, a mask that had accompanied him through many turbulent years, and a smile of expectation and nostalgia appeared on his face.

He was quite interested in those fools who pursued pleasure and hoped to have some fun with them.

"Ok?"

Vita's doubts deepened.

"Oh yes, and this."

Speaking softly, Shihen pushed a red gem that shone like a star in front of Vita.

"The Eye of Divine Wisdom!?"

Upon seeing the incredibly beautiful red gemstone in front of her, Vita immediately lost her composure.

Unlike the enigmatic white mask, this gem contains the most core and important part of Sa's authority.

Once she obtains this Eye of Heavenly Wisdom, even if she cannot become a match for Sassa, she will still be able to become an existence far superior to the Herrschers.

"What...what exactly is your purpose?"

Looking up at the young man's seemingly nonchalantly handsome face, Vita finally couldn't help but ask, her expression instantly becoming complicated.

If the white mask could be considered part of the mission, then the bestowal of the Eye of Wisdom was truly incomprehensible to her.

She didn't think the trust between her and her partner was strong enough to reach that point.

"This Eye of Heavenly Wisdom can only be of the greatest value in your hands, nothing more."

Shihen said calmly.

He still had high expectations for Vita's practicality, so he didn't mind giving her a boost at this time.

After all, a pawn capable of reaching the level of a pseudo-god is extremely rare on Earth, a place teeming with heroes, and Shihen was naturally unwilling to give up on it.

If anyone else were to wield this Eye of Heavenly Wisdom, they would be doing quite well if they could perform at the level of a Herrscher of Ascension, far from being comparable to Vita.

Of course, having been in his hands for half a month, this Eye of Heavenly Wisdom had naturally been incorporated into the Cocoon of the End system, and would not have any side effects of eliminating the knowledge of the Fross people.

"Is that really all there is to it?"

Vita's gaze remained full of suspicion.

"Those masked fools are all a group of cautious yet insane people."

Xiao Wei, an ordinary receptionist, wouldn't be treated differently by them.

Shihen seemed nonchalant.

With a reliable bait like Vita, who has stood the test of time, he no longer needs to gamble on whether Hanabi will show her face in front of him.

After all, the other party rarely puts themselves in real danger.

Just imagining the amusing expression on the other person's face when they received the mask, Shihen couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"That is indeed a very reasonable answer."

Vita nodded slightly.

Although she still didn't understand what the Masked Fool was, she had a better grasp of Shihen's true intentions.

Clearly, just like with Sao before, she has become bait again.

"Keep up the good work, Ms. Vita, your promotion and raise are just around the corner!"

He patted Vita on the shoulder and made a promise to her, then left the rear of the car, leaving the woman with only a carefree, breezy silhouette.

Vita: "..."

Given Shihen's casual attitude in giving her the Eye of Heavenly Wisdom, she felt that the promotion and raise he mentioned were just a way to dump more work and tasks on her.

but……

This kind of life, full of unknowns, is probably more worth looking forward to than an agent's career, right?

…………

Time flies like an arrow, and after a long journey of half a day, the Star Train finally arrived at the Destiny Headquarters at dawn on the floating island.

Upon gazing at the familiar scene before him, Shihen couldn't help but marvel at the train's speed.

Although it doesn't support crossing the Honkai energy tidal zone, the train's speed is indeed remarkable for travel within the solar system, far exceeding the current level of human technology by countless eras.

While reflecting on his own experience, Shihen leisurely stepped off the train, only to be stunned the next second.

In the airport, Kiana, Mei, Durandal and others were all present, including Wendy, who should have been in the Oceania branch and Bronya, who was in North America. Moreover, their expressions were more "friendly" than ever before.

"Um... good morning everyone?"

He instinctively took a half step back, and the smile on Shihen's face immediately froze.

Good morning, Hen. Looks like you had a lot of fun outside.

Looking at the embarrassed face of the boy in front of her, and glancing at the radiant pink fairy girl beside her, Mei's smile became even brighter, and her dark purple eyes narrowed deeply, like a peerless sword hidden in its sheath.

"This one……"

Sensing the immense pressure contained in the girl's words, Shihen hurriedly looked at Kiana with pleading eyes.

Although it did take him a little longer than usual in Frost, he had asked Kiana to help explain things beforehand.

"Well……"

Faced with the boy's hopeful gaze, Kiana simply gave him a helpless look before immediately looking away.

She hasn't even fully recovered from the last time when Seele took advantage of her vulnerability. If she dares to stand up for Shihen at a time like this, she'll definitely be excluded from future parties.

“It’s okay, today is just the beginning, we will have plenty of time to listen to your experiences these past few days.”

Durandal smiled slightly, her beautiful face radiating the confidence and brilliance unique to the strongest Valkyrie.

"I have taken care of all the matters concerning Destiny, and no one will disturb me during this period."

Peggy added in a calm voice.

Bronya has prepared a lot of games and wants to play them with you.

The silver-haired girl, with a calm expression, spoke softly, a faint smile curving her lips.

"And Seele too..."

The blue-haired girl next to her muttered softly, her face turning completely red like the sun.

"What are you looking at? If Seele hadn't insisted on dragging me here, I wouldn't have bothered waiting here!"

The red-haired girl on the other side shouted angrily.
