Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　"Dr. Mei, please share your thoughts and suggestions first."

　Congressman Eugene's gaze finally settled on a young woman on the screen, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

　He didn't initially trust the scientific talent that Möbius had discovered.

　However, as Dr. May demonstrated her exceptional abilities and talent, Senator Eugene was forced to reconsider his judgment.

　After investigations through various channels revealed that Dr. May had done nothing wrong, the congressman finally placed his basic trust in her.

　With the approval of powerful figures in the Moth Chaser Council, such as Senator Vincent and Senator Wang, Senator Eugene decided to give this opportunity to speak to this rising star within the organization.

　"Thank you for your trust, members of parliament."

　The girl, wearing a white lab coat that signifies her identity as a researcher, with her long, purplish-black hair tied in a single ponytail, nodded slightly.

　Her voice was firm and confident, revealing a complete grasp of resolving the current crisis.

　"According to the latest satellite image analysis, the tornado is expected to make landfall in Papua New Guinea in three hours, reach East Timor in five hours, and strike the Solomon Islands in seven hours..."

　Dr. May first outlined the current tensions, and then she changed the subject and proposed a solution.

　"With the weapons we currently possess, unless we use nuclear weapons, it will be difficult for us to have a substantial impact on any tornado in a short period of time."

　A person's reputation depends on his adversaries.

　Having survived numerous cataclysmic events, the strength and capabilities of the Firemoth have gained widespread recognition globally.

　Despite the fact that the organization's statements were quite poor due to the deliberate manipulation of the powerful and the dark side of the Firemoth itself, this does not affect the evaluation of the Firemoth's abilities.

　Leveraging this crisis response capability, the Moth of Fire has now been authorized by the United Nations to use the active nuclear weapons of various countries through the UN when necessary.

　Upon hearing Dr. May's proposed solution, the members of the Moth Chaser Council immediately erupted into a heated debate.

　"This is absolutely not okay!"

　Led by MP Wang, lawmakers from countries with significant maritime interests in the region have opposed the solution.

　Dr. Mei was not surprised by this situation.

　She had long anticipated that the proposal to use nuclear weapons would face such fierce opposition.

　Knowing full well the skylight effect (also known as the demolition effect), she proposed this extreme proposal, which was unlikely to be passed, precisely to pave the way for another subsequent plan.

　Therefore, she calmly proposed a second solution.

　“Given the wide range of controversies and potential risks associated with nuclear weapons, I suggest we turn to another possibility—negotiating with a necromancer and seeking his magical powers to dispel these storms.”

　As soon as Dr. Mei finished speaking, a murmur arose in the video conference room.

　The members of the Moth Chaser Council were well aware of the source of the tornadoes.

　Now, they are faced with the dilemma of having the very person who started this problem solve it.

　These lawmakers did not doubt the necromancer's ability to calm tornadoes.

　This extraordinary individual demonstrated remarkable magical abilities in this area when resolving the tornado storm unleashed by the Fourth Herrscher of Wind at the cost of her life.

　Now, facing the tornado he himself has unleashed, there's no reason why Moros can't handle it.

　However, a question arises—why would a necromancer help them?

　The members of the Firemoth Council were well aware of Moros's sexuality.

　They didn't think that the sorcerer who called himself a "necromancer" would care about those tiny lives about to be swallowed by the storm.

　The atmosphere in the video conference room gradually became heavy.

　The councilors exchanged glances, Dr. May's proposal stirring a ripple in their hearts.

　They saw hope in solving the problem, but were also worried about the uncertainties that lay behind that hope.

　Dr. May chose to remain silent after watching the reactions of the lawmakers in the video footage.

　She waited quietly, giving the members of parliament enough time to weigh the pros and cons and make the decision they deemed most appropriate.

　After a long silence, Senator Eugene broke the silence.

　As the legislator who recommended Dr. May to speak, he had to step in to ease the tension in the video conference at this time.

　"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your concerns. However, the situation we are facing is very serious, and we need to find a viable solution as soon as possible."

　After saying that, he turned his gaze to Dr. Mei, his eyes flashing with a complex light.

　“Dr. Mei, your suggestion certainly provides us with a new perspective. However, how can we ensure that the necromancer will cooperate with us?”

　“I completely understand everyone’s concerns. However, I believe we can find a suitable way to negotiate with the necromancer and make him understand the necessity of cooperation.”

　Dr. May paused, looked around, and seeing that no councilors raised any objections, continued.

　“We can show him what we are willing to pay to stop this disaster, including the resources, technology and other support that our organization has.”

　Initially, when Dr. May learned about the existence of necromancers and magic from the Firemoth's database, her worldview was shaken.

　But this genius, whose wisdom was recognized by Möbius, quickly adjusted his mindset and accepted this extraordinary existence with an open and rational perspective.

　It was during this process that Dr. Mei discovered many interesting things.

　"Of course, those who negotiate with the necromancer need to carefully consider the matter in order to make him understand the necessity of this cooperation."

　Upon hearing this, Congressman Eugene frowned slightly, seemingly having already guessed Dr. May's intentions.

　He spoke somewhat uncertainly.

　"You mean... Alicia from the first squad?"

　Congressman Eugene had heard of the field team leader who had swept all the training events for the Fire Moth field team before Kevin joined the company.

　In fact, some spoiled brats even submitted missions specifically requested by Alicia's squad to the Moth Chaser Council through various channels.

　However, given her ambiguous relationship with the necromancer, Senator Eugene rejected the idea entirely, as it was clearly a move that could ignite a powder keg.

Chapter 244 Alicia's Choice

　Not only Senator Eugene, but also the powerful members of the Moth Chaser Council reached a consensus with unprecedented efficiency after learning of the dangerous ideas of those spoiled brats: they must not let these fools ignite the powder keg.

　These lawmakers are very clear-headed.

　They knew very well that once the powder keg was ignited, the possible consequences would be unimaginable.

　Therefore, these members of parliament used their respective channels to convey this message to the real bigwigs who control the United Nations, expressing their concern and opposition to this reckless and foolish plan.

　As for the specific reactions of those important figures, the members of the Moth Chaser Council did not know much about them.

　However, during that period, the number of officials in various countries who were brought down due to corruption was in the hundreds of millions.

　After this anti-corruption storm, no similar foolish plans were ever submitted to the Moth of Fire Council.

　That is why, before this, many powerful members of the Firemoth Council, including Senator Eugene, had no idea that the organization had such a trump card against necromancers.

　But now, thanks to Dr. May's reminder, they are full of confidence in the upcoming collaboration with the necromancer.

　At the same time, these lawmakers also had a higher opinion of Dr. May's wisdom.

　Noticing the admiration and respect in the eyes of the powerful lawmakers, Dr. May, who was standing on the stage explaining her ideas, smiled slightly.

　She knew that after this incident, her influence within the Firemoth organization would be significantly enhanced.

　As the video conference ended, Alicia, who was undergoing her daily training at a Firemoth subordinate training base on the Mu Continent, was greeted by an envoy from the Council.

　The messenger conveyed the council's wishes, hoping she could communicate with the necromancer and request his assistance in dealing with the impending tornado that was about to cause significant casualties.

　Alicia accepted the request without hesitation.

　Yes, the Council of Firemoths did not inform Alicia that these tornadoes were the work of necromancers.

　The reason for this is not hard to understand.

　The members of the Firemoth Council did not want to break ties with the necromancers.

　They certainly wouldn't do something so dangerous that could lead to unpredictable consequences.

　Getting back to the main point, after asking the messenger to wait a moment, Alicia returned to her room in the training base.

　"Oh dear, let me see where I put it."

　Miss Pink Fairy pounced on the soft, round sofa in the room and began searching for the [Wraith Jar] that Moros had given her.

　She had no intention of traveling to the Australian continent on a Moth of Fire transport plane and then going through cumbersome official channels to meet a necromancer.

　Although Alicia knew very well that as long as she revealed her identity, Moros would appear in front of her immediately.

　However, this process would undoubtedly consume a lot of precious time compared to using the [Wraith Jar] for magical communication.

　Considering the possibility of tornadoes making landfall at any time and causing significant casualties, this goddess who loved humanity resolutely chose a faster method of communication.

　With the Pink Fairy's intelligence, she was certainly aware of the consequences of using the [Wraith Jar].

　However, compared to those innocent lives, Alicia felt that being suspected by the Firemoth Council was not unacceptable.

　"Found it~"

　With a cheer, the pink fairy immediately began operating the [Wraith Jar] in her hand, attempting to establish a magical communication connection with Moros.

　Unlike the [Communication Badge] issued to subordinate forces for communication, the [Wraith Jar] is a special communication tool that necromancers give to a select few people they care about.

　Therefore, when Moros received Alicia's magical communication request through the [Wraith Jar], he answered the call without hesitation.

　"Moros, I need your help."

　The moment the magical communication connection was established, Alicia eagerly expressed her request.

　"Tornadoes raging in the Coral Sea and Arafura Sea are about to sweep across East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands, endangering countless innocent lives. I implore you to join forces with the Fire Moth to quell these storms and save those who are about to suffer disaster."

　When Moros heard that the Pink Fairy had contacted him because of the tornado he had unleashed, his heart skipped a beat.

　He thought that this would cause a rift in his relationship with Alicia.

　However, the necromancer breathed a long sigh of relief after she finished expressing her demands.

　It seems that the Firemoth hasn't told Ellie what happened behind the storm yet, but this is going to be a bit tricky...

　Moros found that calming the storm was certainly not the difficult thing.

　Don't be fooled by the immense power of the tornado unleashed by [Storm Bone Ape Hanuman].

　However, for a demigod-level spellcaster like him, it would only take a few uses of the [Qi Control Technique] to neutralize it.

　What truly troubled him was whether he should tell Alicia the cause of the storm.

　Weighing the pros and cons, Moros fell into a brief silence.

　He knew that telling Alicia the truth would likely be a huge shock to her.

　However, concealing the truth can also sow the seeds of future problems.

　"Moros, what's wrong?"

　After not receiving a response from the necromancer for a while, Alicia asked again with some doubt.

　Faced with Alicia's persistent questioning, Moros took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't evade the issue.

　“Ellie, I… this storm is actually related to me.”

　"what?"

　Alicia's voice was filled with shock; she had never imagined that this disaster was related to Moros.

　"This storm was unleashed by the [Storm Bone Ape Hanuman] that I summoned..."

　Moros then explained to Alicia in detail how the United Nations was supporting the rebels and attempting to harm Mebius.

　He then began to explain his motives to the pink fairy.

　"I unleashed this devastating storm in order to make those in power realize their mistakes."

　As Moros finished speaking, the atmosphere in Alicia's room at the training base instantly became heavy.

　Miss Pink Fairy slumped helplessly onto the soft sofa, the [Wraith Jar] in her hand feeling as heavy as a ton, making it hard for her to breathe.

　"Moros, I... I really didn't expect it to be like this."

　Alicia's voice trembled slightly.

　Her intelligent mind was able to understand why the Firemoth Council had sent her to mediate, but the truth was still hard for her to accept.

　However, she could not completely deny Morros's actions.

　After all, although Moros chose extreme measures, the reasons behind them were entirely reasonable.
