Starting as a Behind-the-Scenes Boss in the Honkai World

The Knight laughed merrily, as bright as the summer sun.

"Can't you give it to me now?"

Shi Hen was a little anxious.

Moonlight Throne: Imaginary Embedded Pulse Annihilation Generator.

As the name suggested, this Relic could be housed within the Imaginary space.

Moreover, Olivia had indeed hidden it in the Imaginary space, only revealing its traces during the full moon due to lunar tides.

Although theoretically, Honkai only existed on Earth and the moon was free of it.

In reality, the relationship between Honkai and the moon far surpassed human understanding.

Every Herrscher of Finality had originally descended upon the moon.

The tides during the full moon could even affect the Imaginary space; this was the true reason the Relic emitted Honkai Energy fluctuations.

Furthermore, the process of retrieving the Relic from the Imaginary space would also cause spatial tremors, leading to a massive leakage of Honkai Energy.

In other words, it would spawn a large number of Honkai Beasts and trigger a major Honkai disaster.

If nothing went wrong, Raven should be busy fighting Honkai Beasts right now.

"Hmm... it's not impossible." The Knight tapped her chin, putting on a thoughtful expression. "But Edward said I have to tell you about Xiao Yue's dangers."

"I believe I understand that better than you do."

Shi Hen said with a serious tone.

Although he had only recently come into contact with this Relic, his understanding of Honkai far surpassed Olivia's from a thousand years ago, so he naturally understood its value even more.

"But Edward said I have to tell you about Xiao Yue's dangers."

The Knight repeated, winking at the young man.

It was clear that she didn't intend to give him the item directly.

"...Fine."

Shi Hen relented.

This was Olivia's Stigmata space, after all, and she had been dead for a thousand years. He might as well give this Knight some face.

He could only ask Raven to bear with it a little longer.

He figured the legendary mercenary wouldn't mind.

"Yoho!"

The Knight had clearly forgotten to pretend to be a robot and couldn't help but cheer.

Chapter 13: Legacy of the Moonlight

At Schicksal Headquarters, in a training room on a floating island.

2990, 2991... 3000.

Counting silently in her mind, the golden-haired girl forcefully lifted the barbell and placed it back in its original position. After an incredibly dull clang, she slowly exhaled.

With that, her warm-up exercises were complete, and it was time for the real training.

As she stretched her body, awakening her muscles, the girl thought to herself.

Beep!

Her phone, placed nearby, rang.

Was there a new mission?

Wondering to herself, the girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and hands with a towel, picked up her phone, and accepted the call.

Swish!

The screen lit up, and a white-haired woman wearing an amber-colored eye patch appeared. She lowered her head slightly and said respectfully, "Good morning, Madam Durandal. I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"I just finished my warm-up," Durandal explained, shaking her head. She then asked, "Amber, has something happened?"

She was an A-rank Valkyrie in the combat division, and the other was the personal secretary to the Schicksal Overseer. There wasn't much personal connection between them; their only intersection was through Valkyrie work.

"Headquarters has just received intel that a major Honkai disaster has occurred in Sicily. The Overseer has ordered you to deploy with the Blade of Immortality Squad," Amber stated directly. "The aerial battleship is ready at the third airfield, and we'll depart precisely in ten minutes."

"I understand."

Durandal nodded.

Sicily wasn't too far from the floating island; it could practically be considered Schicksal Headquarters' doorstep.

Encountering a Honkai disaster right at their doorstep was somewhat embarrassing for Schicksal.

Of course, Durandal didn't care about that; she just wanted to resolve this Honkai incident as quickly as possible.

With the briefing concluded, the communication ended. The golden-haired girl threw on her coat and quickly walked out of the training room.

There was still some distance from here to the third airport, and ten minutes was very tight.

Beep!

She grabbed her incessantly ringing phone and turned it off, a head with messy white hair like a bird's nest emerging from the covers.

After staring blankly for a full ten seconds, her brain finally powered on. Kiana glanced at the bright red warning symbol on her phone screen and couldn't help but let out a big yawn. "Another Honkai event..."

Unlike the models sold in stores, her phone had a built-in Honkai Energy detector that could sense Honkai Energy reactions within a certain range.

Her mind quickly cleared, and Kiana spent three minutes completing a series of tasks including washing up and combing her hair. She then ran out of her rental apartment, carrying a baseball bat.

Today, Raymond City would be protected by her, Kiana Kaslana!

In the faint light of dawn, the white-haired girl's figure vanished in an instant among the tall and short buildings.

In the long-abandoned Raymond Castle.

Hiding in a corner of the high-rise terrace, Raven watched the large group of Honkai Beasts frolicking below and then looked at the white light that had shrunk into a ball in the sky. She couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart about a certain unreliable young man.

Just to retrieve a Relic, did it have to cause such a huge commotion?

Daring to cause trouble right at Schicksal's doorstep, did he think they were blind and deaf?

If they delayed any longer, Schicksal's Valkyrie forces would arrive!

Once surrounded by Schicksal's forces, even they might not be able to escape, after all, those Valkyries were quite capable.

Even if she was confident in fighting any A-rank Valkyrie from Schicksal, the other party would likely not fight her honorably. They might even drag out battleship cannons to blast her.

If that happened, they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to.

Did this guy even know the urgency of the situation!?

Gazing at the sky gradually turning the color of a fish's belly, Raven felt an increasing sense of anxiety in her heart.

Within the Stigmata Space, Shi Hen stepped out with Olivia and instantly moved from the castle's study to the nearest seaside.

Raymond Castle was built on a cliff overlooking the sea.

As the scene changed, the weather shifted from clear skies to overcast.

A fierce wind raged, and the waves churned. The entire azure sea instantly turned black, as if a large amount of ink had been poured into it.

Seeing this, Shi Hen understood. This was likely the place where the legendary Knight of Raymond calmed the sea with a single sword stroke.

Witnessing a legendary story unfold before his eyes, Shi Hen was quite interested. He considered it like watching a free blockbuster movie.

Moreover, he was genuinely curious about Olivia's strength.

He wondered how far she had developed her Stigmata.

Glancing at the eager blonde girl beside him, Shi Hen silently anticipated.

Soon, the black clouds descended as if to crush the entire world. Torrential rain poured down, and the waves on the sea reached heights of over a hundred meters. As they crashed down, they carried an aura that seemed capable of destroying everything.

Raising a faint barrier to shield them from the downpour and the spray, Shi Hen couldn't help but marvel at the power of nature.

In his original world, under normal circumstances, sea waves of twenty to thirty meters were already considered extreme. Anything higher would likely only be due to tectonic plate movements, underwater earthquakes, or similar phenomena.

But at this moment, a storm easily whipped up waves over a hundred meters high.

It could only be said that the Honkai indeed made many things different.

Yes, this storm was not purely a natural disaster but a large-scale Honkai disaster, even though they didn't see a single Honkai Beast in front of them.

Honkai Beasts and Meele were merely the most common manifestations of the Honkai, but not the only standard.

In fact, any disaster involving supernatural powers could actually be classified under the umbrella of Honkai.

For example, the two World Wars that had occurred in this world were driven by the Honkai.

The Honkai Energy concentration within those high-ranking war criminals had far exceeded the theoretical lethal dose, making them essentially another form of Meele.

After all, in terms of destructive power alone, those in high positions who were corrupted and infected by the Honkai were far more terrifying than any Meele.

So, facing a Honkai disaster of such a special nature, what would Olivia do?

Filled with curiosity, Shi Hen looked at the knight beside him.

"You're cheating, aren't you?"

Shi Hen kindly reminded her.

Beneath the storm, the girl allowed the rain to drench her, yet not a single strand of her hair was out of place, as if they were not on the same plane.

Clearly, this defied scientific principles.

"Oh, what does it matter? I'm already dead, and this place is made of my memories anyway," the knight said magnanimously, waving her hand.

Shi Hen: "..."

He was too lazy to argue anymore.

If you try to be serious with this old monster who, despite her age, still pretends to be young, then you've already lost.

As expected, this world didn't have any real history at all.

Shi Hen had already foreseen the extent to which the opposing side would beautify and alter this exhibition.

Taking a step forward, Olivia naturally walked on the surface of the sea, as if the waves beneath her feet were as solid as the ground. No matter how wild the waves were, they became obedient and docile before her.

Shi Hen watched all of this in silence.

Olivia beckoned, and a silver-white metallic ring materialized from the void, appearing behind the girl as if bestowing a divine crown upon her.

This was Little Moon... no, it was the Moonlight Throne: Imaginary Embedded Pulse Annihilation Generator.

It's quite compact.

Shi Hen mused inwardly.

Depending on its efficiency and scale, the Moonlight Throne varied in size.

The Moonlight Throne developed by Anti-Entropy in the future was a ship-mounted weapon, while the one created by the previous civilization's Moth to Fire was a satellite-level piece of equipment; the latter had significantly greater power.

Moreover, the Moonlight Throne before him seemed to operate in a rather different way.

Bright silver-white light bloomed from the ring, and a piercing hum followed.

The Moonlight Throne began to operate.

Amidst the gradually intensifying radiance, the metallic ring's form took on an ethereal quality, as if it no longer belonged to this world.

This Moonlight Throne was already attempting to enter the imaginary space to counter this Honkai from the other side.

The next second, an airflow entirely different from the raging storm began to blow.

Wind?

Removing his barrier and letting the rain fall on him, Shi Hen extended his hand to feel the strangeness mixed in the air.

Another storm was rapidly forming!
