Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Against this backdrop, the powerful and wealthy who had been so respectful to the necromancers soon became intoxicated by this unrestrained rule.

　They completely abandoned the constraints of law and morality, taking personal desires and interests as the highest principle, and turned the entire country into their private domain.

　The powerful and wealthy greedily plundered the country's resources, hoarding all the wealth, plunging the people into misery.

　Hunger and poverty became the norm, while the powerful and wealthy lived extravagant lives, as if the suffering of the people had nothing to do with them.

　The public's anger simmered like a volcano, and the streets and alleys were filled with shouts of discontent and resentment.

　The New Zealand elites were certainly aware of this.

　However, in their eyes, this was not worth caring about at all.

　In fact, it does.

　The small-scale resistance launched by the desperate people proved exceptionally weak in the face of the undead forces commanded by the powerful.

　Every act of resistance ended in failure, and the civilians who participated were ultimately cruelly hanged on the gallows.

Chapter 203 The Herrscher Seed Cultivated by the Evil of Human Nature

　The powerful and wealthy attempted to subdue the people with brutal repression, but the people's anger did not subside; instead, it burned even more fiercely, like a suppressed flame.

　On a dark and stormy night, an uprising planned by numerous civilian groups quietly began.

　The insurgents swiftly captured several important strategic locations, catching the powerful and wealthy off guard.

　However, even at this point, the powerful and wealthy still did not feel that things were getting out of control.

　What a joke! They're just a resistance army made up of lowly people. They're nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of a deadly army.

　Despite the loss of the necromancer's personal command, which caused a precipitous drop in the fighting power of the undead forces, they were still able to easily defeat the rebels who were armed with light weapons.

　This has been clearly and unequivocally verified in the previous suppression campaigns by those in power who command the undead forces.

　Therefore, at the very first moment the uprising broke out, the powerful and wealthy quickly mobilized the undead army to suppress it.

　However, things took an unexpected turn.

　The insurgents were armed with Honkai energy-enhanced weapons of unknown origin, and thanks to their familiarity with the terrain and the power of these weapons, they managed to withstand the fierce attack of the undead forces.

　Temporary.

　Compared to the tireless and fearless undead forces, the rebel army, which relies solely on its courage and bravery, will inevitably face a disadvantage if it cannot achieve victory in a short period of time.

　After all, the powerful and wealthy had long anticipated that a large-scale rebellion would occur.

　Although they did not expect that these insurgents would have a number of firearms enhanced with Honkai energy.

　However, the power that the elites could mobilize far exceeded the rebels' expectations.

　As wave after wave of undead armies marched onto the battlefield, the uprising was completely suppressed.

　After successfully suppressing the large-scale uprising, the New Zealand elites who were loyal to the necromancers became even more unrestrained.

　Those in power who would have initially maintained a minimum level of vigilance against popular uprisings found that their last concerns vanished once they realized the uprisings could not shake the undead forces under their command.

　As a result, they began to exploit the people more blatantly, and those heinous acts that they had previously dared not show for fear of popular uprisings were now being displayed to the world without any concealment.

　Things like Lolita Island began to happen frequently on this land.

　Stewart Island, located 32 kilometers south of New Zealand's South Island in the South Pacific Ocean, is such a place, separated from the South Island by the Fover Strait.

　Far from the hustle and bustle and constraints of the mainland, this place is a paradise where the powerful and wealthy indulge in the ultimate pleasure brought by power.

　They not only squandered their wealth here, but also captured civilians from their own country as if they were slaves.

　These innocent civilians suffered inhumane treatment on Stewart Island, becoming victims of the powerful and wealthy satisfying their own desires.

　The necromancer was fully aware of all of this.

　The reason why those powerful and wealthy people were able to suppress popular uprisings time and time again was because of the authority granted to them by necromancers to command undead troops.

　Under such circumstances, how could the actions of the powerful and wealthy possibly escape his notice?

　However, Moros didn't care about this.

　在他

　It seems that as long as the powerful and wealthy pay the taxes he sets on time and in full, and obey his orders when needed, what does it matter to him what they do on a daily basis?

　After all, these actions were not at his behest, and even if Alicia and the others discovered the crazy behavior of these powerful people, they could not blame him.

　Therefore, Moros had no intention of going back on his word, nor did he want to damage his reputation as a result.

　Don't forget that when he took over these two kingdoms, he made a promise to all the nobles who submitted to him—as long as they paid their taxes and obeyed his orders, he would not interfere with their daily administration.

　Moreover, Moros is a very orthodox necromancer, and his moral bottom line is flexible enough.

　It can be said that he usually behaves quite coldly unless it involves people he cares about.

　Therefore, he chose to turn a blind eye to the dirty deeds of those powerful and influential people and continued to focus on his own affairs.

　In a world without collapse and disaster, such behavior by the powerful and wealthy might be buried and forgotten by the world under the protection of their overwhelming power and intricate networks of interests.

　But in this world, on this planet watched by the cocoon of the end, the various evils of the powerful and wealthy are like seeds, quietly growing in the darkness.

　Nourished by Honkai energy, these seeds will give birth to countless souls suited to become outstanding Herrschers.

　Their pain, anger, and despair will become the nourishment for the awakening of the Herrschers, allowing the newly born Herrschers to shine even brighter in this increasingly crumbling world.

　And the girl named Wendy is such a seed.

　She has shoulder-length short hair that is blue on the outside and black on the inside, with a cute little tuft of hair on top. Her arched eyebrows adorn her fair and jade-like face.

　Wendy's warm, emerald-green eyes were clear and bright, revealing a pure and innocent temperament.

　Originally, Wendy was the apple of the eye of a small business owner on New Zealand's South Island, enjoying the love and care of her family.

　However, with the rise of necromancers, the New Zealand elites began to shed their masks of hypocrisy, revealing their greedy and cruel nature.

　At first, Wendy didn't think this political storm had anything to do with her.

　Although she sympathized with the oppressed people, she did not go so far as to actually contact the resistance organizations.

　However, fate's cruel joke prevented her from remaining uninvolved.

　After the large-scale uprising that affected several towns was suppressed, Wendy's father was accused of having ties with the resistance groups that supported the uprising.

　Although it was just a trivial connection, merely selling some everyday items to the rebels, in the eyes of a certain powerful figure, it was the perfect excuse to plunder the Wendy family's fortune.

　When the police officers in their indigo uniforms burst through the door, Wendy's world completely collapsed.

　She watched helplessly as her family was taken away, her property was looted, and she herself was accused of failing to report the crime and thrown into a cold prison.

　Subsequently, under the control of the powerful figure who had plundered Wendy's family fortune, Wendy was sent to the remote island of Stewart, becoming his private slave.

　From then on, her fate was completely rewritten, and her former innocence and happiness were replaced by pain and despair.

　On Stewart Island, Wendy suffered inhuman torture.

　She was injected with an unknown drug, her mind was brainwashed, and her body was violated.

　Every day, she struggled in pain; every moment, she cried out in despair.

　I'll kill you all! I'll definitely kill you all!

　Endless rage and a thirst for revenge drew the gaze of the Cocoon of the End.

Chapter 204 The Arrival of the Fourth Herrscher

　As the Cocoon of the End cast its gaze, endless Honkai energy surged toward Wendy like a tidal wave, engulfing her.

　Nourished by this power, a brand new Herrscher personality was born. She is powerful and ruthless, and full of the flames of revenge.

　Faced with this Herrscher personality born from the depths of her soul, Wendy did not hesitate at all; she chose to embrace and completely accept her.

　At that moment, Wendy, as a human, closed her eyes forever, while Wendy, as a Herrscher, proudly descended upon this increasingly crumbling land.

　In the name of justice, wielding the raging storm of revenge, Wendy vows to send all those who have hurt her to the abyss of death.

　Those powerful and influential people, those who left endless pain and despair in her heart, will all bear the brunt of her vengeful wrath.

　And the human society that watched them live in a living hell, not only turning a blind eye but also joining in, will also be judged by her.

　Yes, the attitude of the elites in other parts of the planet toward Stewart Island, a paradise for the privileged, is to join in, rather than oppose it.

　Those prominent figures at the top of the human society pyramid, seeking the ultimate pleasures they cannot experience elsewhere, have flocked to this small island in the South Pacific by private jet and private yacht.

　Their arrival undoubtedly instilled greater confidence and courage in the local elites of New Zealand, making this paradise of evil even more rampant.

　The New Zealand elites warmly welcomed these important figures from human society, providing them with the most luxurious experiences.

　At the same time, they also intensified their efforts to arrest civilians, turning more people into slaves for their amusement.

　Wendy had witnessed it all firsthand and experienced the despair of people who had been enslaved.

　Therefore, she also harbored deep hatred for these important figures in human society.

　She will hold them accountable for their crimes and make them pay for what they have done.

　Stuart Island, Southern Hemisphere.

　As a paradise where the powerful indulge in the feast of power, Stewart Island is naturally equipped with complete shelters and other security measures to ensure their safety in any emergency.

　Thanks to the shelters built with the finest materials, the Honkai energy resistance granted by the first Honkai enhancement surgery developed by Mebius, or the powerful physical attributes brought by vampire transformation, many nobles survived the first wave of Honkai energy when the Great Honkai descended.

　"Damn it! What's going on here (Mu Dalu's profanity)?"

　"Wasn't this supposed to be the safest place? How could a Honkai disaster suddenly break out here?"

　"Where are the people who chase after the flame? Are the huge sums of money we pay every year just used to hire those female agents?"

　"..."

　Inside the shelter, the powerful and wealthy, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation, still thought it was just an ordinary collapse disaster.

　They were restless and their discussions rose and fell, but no one realized that this outbreak of collapse was completely different from the past.

　This is understandable.

　Excluding this one, human society on this planet has experienced only three major collapses in total.

　In this situation, it's perfectly normal not to immediately realize that you've encountered a major collapse.

　If it were just a normal collapse disaster, given the status of the powerful and wealthy people in these shelters, they naturally wouldn't need to worry about the rescue being delayed.

　After all, the powerful figures trapped in the shelters include prominent figures from all over the world, as well as local elites from New Zealand and Australia. They firmly believe that the arrival of rescue is completely understandable.

　It was precisely because of this unwavering belief in the rescue forces that even when trapped in the shelter by the Honkai disaster, and even when they could witness the Honkai beasts and zombies roaming outside and attacking the shelter through hidden surveillance cameras, the powerful and wealthy only complained and discussed, without losing their composure.

　According to the owner of this sinful paradise, the sanctuary is capable of withstanding an attack of this magnitude for months.

　Clearly, given the status of these powerful figures, the arrival of rescue teams wouldn't have taken so long if it were just a regular collapse disaster.

　However, this Honkai event is no ordinary Honkai disaster.

　With the arrival of massive amounts of Honkai energy, the Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind, announced the true nature of this Honkai disaster—the Great Honkai.

　What's worse for the privileged in the shelter is that this apostle of the gods, who came with the Great Collapse, retains all of Wendy's memories as a human.

　Driven by this memory, the Herrscher of the Wind, who rides the raging storm, is determined to first kill off the nobles on Stewart Island one by one, and then fulfill the mission given to her by the Honkai—to completely destroy human civilization.

　While the powerful and wealthy were still enjoying the comfort of their refuge and waiting for rescue, the Herrscher of Wind in the outside world had already begun her revenge.

　The gale-force winds surged in like raging waves, their power far exceeding the limit of a Category 12 typhoon as defined by humankind.

　It relentlessly swept across the entire Stewart Island, lifting everything it touched into the clouds and turning it into dust in the wind.

　Following the relentless whirlwind, the elite Honkai Beast legion, directly under the Herrscher of Wind, roared and marched towards the sanctuary.

　These elite Honkai Beasts, directly under the command of the Herrschers, are far superior to the ordinary Honkai Beasts currently besieging the shelter.

　Within this Honkai Legion, the pinnacle of the lower-ranking Honkai Beast system—the Honkai Emperor—numbers an astonishing three digits.

　When they move together, the scene is so spectacular that it looks like hundreds of small, purple-white mountains are moving across the ground, which is breathtaking.

　Even more shocking is that the number of Emperor-class Honkai Beasts in the legion has reached an astonishing ten fingers.

　During this period, even the regular armies of powerful nations equipped with the latest Honkai energy weapons were overwhelmed by the sheer number of Emperor-class Honkai Beasts.

　At least armored corps-level human armies can only be easily destroyed in their presence.

　In this elite Honkai Beast legion, although there is only one Judgment-class Honkai Beast, which is the companion Honkai Beast of the Herrscher of Wind, its existence is like that of a king in the legion, awe-inspiring in all directions.

　Compared to the Honkai Beast legions led by the previous three Herrschers, the Honkai Beast legion commanded by the Fourth Herrscher this time has shown an unparalleled advantage in both quality and quantity.

　At this moment, standing atop the companion Honkai Beast, the Apostle of God, who inherited the name of Wendy from the human era, crossed his arms and stared coldly into the distance.
