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

The reason is simple: a certain person using cheats was just too overpowered.

Perhaps, for Anti-Entropy, the battlefield dominance displayed by this person is comparable to that of a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie.

The only thing they're still missing is a mecha that can rival an S-class Valkyrie.

The colonel's gaze grew heavy as he stared at the three yellow dots that had plunged into the sea of ​​white dots on the screen.

Showing too much value during this period is not a good thing.

Thinking of the ongoing debate between the two approaches within Anti-Entropy, the colonel couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This driver is a true genius and should be free from all constraints.

But how can one talk about freedom in this world?

Let's just hope this sharp blade won't be broken in the power struggles among the higher-ups...

That was all the colonel could pray for.

After all, he was just a colonel.

Chapter 72 On this day, the boy encountered a formidable rival.

August 15, 2013 (calendar).

For most people in the world, this was just an ordinary day.

But for some, it was a day to remember.

On this day, Anti-Entropy gained a new colonel, whose name was Shihen.

As he walked out of the award ceremony, touching his brand-new epaulets, Shi Hen smiled faintly, but inwardly he couldn't help but shake his head.

This entropy reduction strategy still doesn't place enough emphasis on talent.

He won such a brilliant victory, yet not a single person carrying out the award ceremony appeared.

Although most of the Entropy Reversal Executors are located around the world and their relationship with the Entropy Reversal Headquarters is more like that of franchisees, the Executors who are stationed at the headquarters still carry considerable weight.

However, not a single veteran executive from headquarters appeared at this award ceremony; the highest-ranking officials were only a few major generals.

Sigh, he's supposed to be the next leader of Anti-Entropy, and this is how the organization treats him?

Shihen felt that the mindset of the upper echelons of Anti-Entropy was not correct enough.

As he was pondering, Shihen suddenly felt darkness before his eyes.

He looked up and a pair of enormous sinister figures suddenly entered his field of vision, followed by golden curly hair and a pretty face exuding charm.

"Admiral Cocolia?"

Shihen's face showed appropriate doubt.

The person who stopped him in the corridor was naturally Cocolia, one of the Entropy Reversal Executors.

Furthermore, in terms of military ranks within Anti-Entropy, Cocolia is one of the few generals, three ranks higher than him.

This is the pinnacle of the anti-entropy military rank system.

Of course, military rank is just a title; Cocolia's other position as a commander is the real reason she can become an executor.

As for Shihen... unfortunately, he doesn't have many people under him, after all, he has only been with Anti-Entropy for less than four months.

"Hello, Colonel Shihen." Cocolia smiled at the boy, her tone devoid of arrogance. "Although this is our first meeting, it seems I don't need to introduce myself."

"Of course. I think everyone at Anti-Entropy knows the name of the Executor Cocolia."

Shihen laughed too.

Compared to other executors with a more conservative style, Cocolia has indeed been quite active lately and has made many contributions to Anti-Entropy.

But for Shihen, Cocolia's other identity is more noteworthy.

This is also someone who wants to become the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.

Moreover, the other party does not want to inherit Walter's name.

This is a despicable usurper, and his greatest adversary as the rightful heir to Walter.

"Then I should really feel honored."

Cocolia's smile widened even more.

After all, no one dislikes hearing compliments, especially when the person saying them is exceptionally talented.

"I wonder if someone like me is qualified to invite the young hero of Anti-Entropy for a cup of coffee?"

With a smile, Cocolia bowed slightly, making her sins, which even her military overcoat couldn't conceal, even more obvious.

“It’s a pleasure to accept your invitation, Ms. Cocolia.”

Shihen smiled and gave his answer.

If the other party treats people with respect and courtesy, then he naturally cannot act arrogantly.

As for the leader of the anti-entropy alliance, we should all compete fairly.

"please."

Cocolia smiled and made the gesture.

"Ladies first, Ms. Cocolia, please go first."

Shihen would certainly not be so reckless.

People may give you face, but you can't take advantage of it.

"Hehehe, it seems our young hero is quite the gentleman. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Cocolia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then nodded and walked ahead.

Time naturally chooses to follow.

Before long, the two arrived at a coffee shop.

Although Anti-Entropy headquarters has numerous research institutes and military facilities, its leisure area is equally impressive.

After all, hundreds of thousands of people work and live here, and if the pressure is not effectively relieved, then a collapse is almost inevitable.

After finding a quiet spot to sit down, Cocolia picked up a menu and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Bubble tea, 30% sugar, I don't like it too sweet."

Shihen smiled and said.

Even though he was on an undercover mission, he didn't need to suppress himself.

What we should really be wary of is entropy reversal.

If he feels the mission isn't going well, then the process of reversing entropy will become even more difficult.

"I never expected our young hero to like something so...simple."

Cocolia showed a slightly surprised expression.

"What's wrong with a simpler life?" Shihen retorted. "Besides, Ms. Cocolia, you can just call me by my name. Calling me a hero is too early."

When he becomes a major general, he will be worthy of the title of hero of anti-entropy.

Incidentally, Durandal's military rank had already been promoted to Major General when she became an S-rank Valkyrie.

Furthermore, when calculating ranks, Valkyries are automatically two ranks higher than other classes, because the Valkyrie units in Destiny only have the first rank among the first-class ranks.

For example, the rank of major is followed by major general, with no transition between them.

After all, the Valkyrie Squad only has a small number of members, so there's no need for it.

The reason why there are more levels of anti-entropy is simply because their combat sequence is unified, and the mech pilots do not constitute a separate combat sequence.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Shihen's current rank of colonel is equivalent to that of Himeko's rank of major.

"Then I'll just call you Hen?"

Cocolia smiled, and went a step further than the boy had asked.

Omitting the surname and calling someone by their first name makes it seem more intimate.

"of course can."

Shihen raised an eyebrow, offering no objection.

This is a very obvious attempt to win them over.

Even if he doesn't intend to get close to the radical faction of anti-entropy in the future, there is no need for him to refuse the overtures of an executor at this time.

"Hen, I heard you're from China?"

Leaning back into a more comfortable and relaxed posture, Cocolia asked with a smile.

“Shenzhou Jin Guan, it’s all clearly written in my file,” Shi Hen said calmly, but he sat up straight. “I think, with the power of the executor, it shouldn’t be difficult to find out these things.”

“I prefer direct conversation to reading documents.” Cocolia noticed the boy’s nervousness but didn’t point it out, her smile only deepening. “After all, some things can only be truly understood through personal experience. Don’t you agree, Kon?”

“I agree with Ms. Cocolia’s opinion.”

While sipping the milk tea that had just been served, Shihen nodded.

At least in terms of talent development, Cocolia was more proactive than the conservatives.

He's practically become Anti-Entropy's ace pilot, yet Tesla hasn't even offered to give him a mech that could easily defeat Durandal.

Although it's highly unlikely that Anti-Entropy will be able to develop a mech comparable to Durandal.

“I heard you have an older sister. Have you considered bringing her to work at Anti-Entropy headquarters?” Cocolia asked. “I can help with this little thing.”

If you want to win someone over, starting with the people around them is a good approach.

"No need, I haven't told her about entropy reduction."

Shihen shook his head, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"Won't your sister ask why you came to North America?"

Cocolia seemed somewhat surprised.

“I mentioned it to the staff at Anti-Entropy and asked them to forge the name of studying abroad.”

Shihen said with a resolute expression.

At this moment, he is a hero who bears the burden of fighting in darkness.

"Yes, if it weren't for the Honkai, you should still be in school..."

Perhaps it was something she was thinking of, but Cocolia's expression couldn't help but show a hint of sadness.

"In order to protect more people, I am willing to sacrifice my personal happiness." Shihen said firmly, "This is also the thought left behind by Alliance Leader Walter."

As a person who opposes entropy, one must naturally follow the central leadership at all times.

"You...like Walter a lot?"

Cocolia's expression began to turn strange.

This was the first time she had ever met someone so devoted to Walter.

Even other executors who have frequent contact with him usually just say that Walter is a hero, but they would never say it so bluntly.

“Mr. Walter is my idol.” Shihen nodded solemnly. “I decided to join Anti-Entropy after hearing about Walter’s deeds. My dream is to become someone like Mr. Walter.”

In other words, he wants to be the leader of the anti-entropy alliance.

Of course, just like if you were transported into a Naruto world, you can't just say you want to be the boss; you should declare that you want to become a ninja who can protect everyone.

This is naturally no exception in the case of reverse entropy.

You must make protecting the world and fighting for it your lifelong belief, and make those around you believe that you are such a person of noble faith.

How you do it isn't important; the most crucial thing is how to convince those around you that you will do it.

"Um... this dream... is truly magnificent."

Cocolia's facial muscles twitched involuntarily.

She had never met such a passionate and direct chef as Walter.
