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

"……"

Looking at the white-robed figure before her, Durandal was somewhat dumbfounded.

What on earth was this guy talking about?

She was the one asking about his identity. What did the color of their clothes have to do with it?

"Welt. My name is Welt."

Knowing that the Kaslana's brains weren't the sharpest, Shi Hen skipped the clothing part and answered the girl's question.

They were all veterans in this game; who would use their real name?

"Please don't joke around, sir."

Durandal said seriously, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

He was spouting the name of the Anti-Entropy leader the moment he opened his mouth; this guy was obviously trying to fool her.

"I'm serious." Shi Hen said in a solemn tone, "Why do you assume I'm not Welt?"

Even Welt himself hadn't voiced any objections yet.

"Welt is the name of the Anti-Entropy leader, but you definitely aren't the leader of Anti-Entropy."

Durandal explained.

"Young Valkyrie, have you ever met the leader of Anti-Entropy?"

"No."

"Then how can you assume I'm not the leader of Anti-Entropy?"

"You can't be the First Herrscher."

"Have you ever met the First Herrscher?"

"..."

"You haven't even met the First Herrscher, how can you deny that I'm Welt!?"

Shi Hen said righteously.

"...I've seen them in the data."

After a moment of silence, Durandal still tried to reason with him.

"How do you know that all the information Schicksal has is true? You haven't actually met the First Herrscher." Shi Hen continued to question, "I'm telling you, your Archbishop is bald!"

"I've met the Archbishop, and he's not bald."

Durandal retorted.

"Is that the key point? And what if he's wearing a wig?" Shi Hen was deeply concerned about the girl's ability to grasp the important issues. "You can't prove I'm not Welt, so I am Welt!"

On this Hover Battleship, no one could deny that he was Welt!

"No, you can't be Welt!"

Durandal still shook her head.

"You haven't even met Welt How do you know..."

Bang!

Out of anger, the girl chose to resolve the dispute in the way she was best at.

If she couldn't solve the problem, she'd solve the person causing the problem.

Chapter 15: No Martial Morality

Bang!

Reaching out and grabbing the first energy bullet Durandal fired, Shi Hen immediately felt a burning sensation in his palm.

He glanced down and saw that a hole the size of a pigeon egg had been burned through the black glove on his hand, revealing the slightly reddened skin underneath.

As expected of a Relic-level weapon, a single shot had the power of a ship-mounted cannon.

Shi Hen was deeply aware of the power of the Previous Civilization's technology.

Bang, bang, bang!

While he was thinking, Durandal had already pulled the trigger several times in a row, creating a golden barrage.

Feeling the heat radiating from the several energy bullets together, Shi Hen's eyes narrowed.

Unlike the riffraff in the underworld, this was a true opponent worthy of his full effort.

Not daring to take the attacks head-on, Shi Hen used his Honkai Energy-wrapped palm to deflect an energy bullet, and his body slid towards Durandal, throwing a straight punch directly at the girl's chest.

Just waiting for you to come over.

Seeing Shi Hen approach, Durandal was not afraid but delighted. The moment she put away her dual pistols, she threw a punch at the boy.

Compared to gun-type weapons, she was more skilled at this kind of close-quarters combat.

Bam!

Both fists landed on their respective targets simultaneously, the two sounds merging into an even heavier thud, and cracks immediately appeared on the surrounding deck.

Even though the steel used for the Hover Battleship was extraordinarily strong, it was still as fragile as a child's toy compared to their terrifying destructive power.

Feeling the immense force transmitted through the girl's fist, Shi Hen involuntarily took a half-step back, one of his shoulders feeling slightly numb.

The Kaslana family's inherited monstrous strength truly lived up to its fearsome reputation.

However, what if it were like this?

The corners of Shi Hen's mouth curved slightly beneath his mask, and a faint white glow appeared on the back of his right hand, revealing a complex red pattern within.

In an instant, Shi Hen's control over Honkai Energy rose to another level.

Using Honkai Energy to stimulate his cells with even greater precision, Shi Hen threw another punch.

Meanwhile, Durandal, after a slight sway, attacked again, her sky-blue eyes full of confidence.

In that previous punch, she had already realized that she had an advantage in terms of strength.

Now, she just needed to find ways to expand that advantage.

Bang!

The two fists collided, this time resulting in an evenly matched outcome.

Feeling the power in her opponent's fist, which was no weaker than her own, the Valkyrie couldn't help but be surprised.

His strength had actually increased?

"Young Valkyrie, your understanding of power is still too superficial," Shi Hen said with a smile, noticing the girl's surprise.

The reason the Kaslanas possessed strength unmatched by ordinary people was essentially because their cells contained many organelles that originally belonged to Honkai Beasts, making their cells far more powerful than those of ordinary people.

With such unique characteristics at the cellular level, the Kaslanas could naturally possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, through precise manipulation of Honkai Energy, Shi Hen had improved the efficiency with which his cells utilized Honkai Energy, allowing them to unleash even greater power in another way.

It was just like Tactical Mechs and Valkyries; steel and machinery were inherently stronger than flesh and blood, but with a more efficient Honkai Energy utilization rate, the Valkyries could unleash power far surpassing that of the mechs.

"Don't get too cocky!"

Durandal shouted coldly, throwing her fist at the boy with all her might.

She had never been one to waver at the slightest sign of trouble.

The battle had only just begun, and the outcome was still unknown.

In the bridge, the Valkyries of the Blade of Immortality were completely stunned as they watched the increasingly fierce battle between the two.

Through the cameras installed on the warship, they couldn't even clearly see the two figures' movements, only two extremely blurry shadows and the sounds of thunderous roars.

Wherever the shadows passed, the high-strength alloy deck cracked, and the entire warship shook from time to time, as if this massive creation, which embodied the hard work of countless people and was hailed as the steel fortress of the new era, was also trembling in fear.

They had no doubt that if Durandal hadn't intervened, this strange enemy would really be able to tear the warship apart with his bare hands.

"Leave this to Durandal, everyone else follow the fourth battle plan and don't let the Honkai Beasts enter the city," Rita said, breaking the deathly silence.

Within the Blade of Immortality, she and Durandal weren't the only ones with combat abilities.

Normally, a Valkyrie squad consisted of about fifty people. Excluding those responsible for logistical support, they could be divided into three to four smallest units of three-person teams.

Against the nearly one thousand Honkai Beasts that had appeared in this incident, this combat power was slightly insufficient, but they also had the firepower support provided by the Hover Battleship.

Moreover, the regular forces stationed in Sicily were also on their way, so they only needed to temporarily delay the Honkai Beasts' advance.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the Valkyries immediately took action, their movements clean and efficient, without the slightest delay.

Being selected for the Blade of Immortality squad meant they were already the elite of the elite.

The warship's deployment hatches opened, and the Valkyries jumped down one by one, heading to various battlefields with the firepower support of drones.

Betting on the name of the Blade of Immortality, they would definitely stop the Honkai outside of Raymond City!

"Durandal..."

In the high part of the bridge, Rita watched the battle on the deck through the porthole, a hint of worry appearing on her charming face.

Since the last operation in the Quantum Sea, she hadn't seen an enemy who could put Durandal in such a difficult fight for a long time.

Moreover, as the vice-captain of the Blade of Immortality and the Valkyrie on the warship whose strength was closest to Durandal, she could see far more in this battle than others.

This strange man in white robes truly possessed a power that could almost shatter people's common sense!

This man is strange!

After exchanging another blow with Shi Hen, Durandal's expression became even more serious.

Her footwork changed, the Valkyrie lifted her leg, turned, and threw a whip kick.

On the other side, Shi Hen also lifted his leg, turned, and threw a whip kick.

Boom!

Two different long legs collided fiercely in the air, erupting in a thunderous roar that made the surrounding deck sink slightly.

"You're imitating my moves!"

Durandal gritted her teeth and shouted.

"It's replication. Please don't use such a low-class term as 'imitation'." Shi Hen corrected, "Understanding and reproducing, that is the Herrscher Authority unique to my Herrscher of Reason."

Durandal: "..."

Even at this point, he still has the nerve to claim he's Welt. Does he think I haven't read the Herrscher of Reason's intelligence reports?

"Your talent is very high, far greater than mine."

Durandal said in a deep voice.

In the battle just now, she used Kaslana Gun-Fu, a fighting technique that she had worked hard to master over the past year.

But... the other party reached the same level as her in just ten minutes.

She had never seen such an unreasonable existence.

It should be known that Kaslana Gun-Fu is not just about punches and kicks, but more importantly, the manipulation of Honkai Energy within the body.

Imitating only the form would result in nothing more than a showy display, collapsing with the slightest push.

Yet, merely by exchanging blows with her, Shi Hen completely mastered this fighting technique, even the way Honkai Energy circulated was exactly the same.

This kind of talent, this kind of ability, made her feel like her values were shattering.

"This is the Herrscher Authority of the Herrscher of Reason."

Shi Hen still maintained his persona.

He understands, he reproduces, isn't that the ability of the Herrscher of Reason?
