Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The negotiation process needs no further elaboration. After several days of intense talks, Moros and the powerful figures who control the lifeline of human society on this planet finally reached a consensus.

　In exchange for allowing necromancers to expand their sphere of influence to the Indonesian archipelago, those in power successfully got Morros to thwart their earlier probing operations on the Australian continent.

　However, the focus of the negotiations went far beyond that.

　To appease Möbius, Moloss insisted that the powerful figures who had participated in the Australian probes issue a public apology.

　This demand became the most difficult part of the negotiations, even causing the talks to stall for several days.

　Compared to concessions made in terms of spheres of influence, this public apology posed an unprecedented challenge to the authority of the powerful and wealthy, who naturally found it difficult to accept such a demand.

　However, faced with Moros's firm and ruthless attitude, the carnivores ultimately had to lower their proud heads and accept the demand.

　This is also something that cannot be done.

　What seems impossible will not be accomplished through persistence, nor will a miracle occur simply by saying "I can do it."

　With the necromancer's curse looming overhead, these powerful figures truly had no right to say "no."

　With the conclusion of negotiations between the two sides, much of Southeast Asia was shrouded in the shadow of necromancers.

　As agreed by Moros and those in power at the top of human society, they will have three months to withdraw all forces south of the Indonesian archipelago.

　At that time, the undead legion will surge in like a tidal wave, mercilessly overwhelming all resistance forces in this newly designated sphere of influence of the necromancers.

　Given the privileges enjoyed by the nobles in Australia and New Zealand who were loyal to Moros, the local strongmen in these areas offered no resistance to the arrival of the undead army.

　Moreover, in order to ensure their smooth entry into this "bright future" full of opportunities, these local bullies even took the initiative to organize themselves and form a huge alliance.

　They adopted a hardline approach, severely suppressing any patriots who attempted to resist the undead legion or challenge the authority of Moros.

　These actions stemmed entirely from their own inner conviction and voluntariness, without any external pressure or coercion.

　This demonstrates the profound influence and powerful appeal of the ruling model that Morrow established in Australia and New Zealand, which resembled a Western European feudal system, among the elite.

　The reason for this is not hard to understand.

　Who wouldn't want to be a local tyrant?

　Under Moros's rule, those officials who were loyal to him could maintain their local dominance simply by paying the taxes he set on time and unconditionally obeying his orders.

　Given the terrifying power of necromancers, this system of governance not only satisfied the elites' desire for power and status, but also made them feel an unprecedented sense of security and stability.

　With the active cooperation of these local strongmen, Moros's takeover of these areas proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

Chapter 249 Crystal Flower

　Southeast Asia, Indonesian archipelago, Jakarta.

　This city, located on the northwest coast of Java, is undoubtedly the economic center of Southeast Asia.

　It was precisely for this reason that after taking over this area, Moros personally visited the place to have in-depth exchanges with the local dignitaries.

　Whether it's planning for future taxes or discussing other important matters, Moros needs to reach a consensus with the local bigwigs.

　at the same time……

　Glancing at the cute girl with long pink hair beside him, the necromancer felt he needed to change his image in the pink fairy's eyes.

　Yes, when Alicia learned that Moros was about to take control of the archipelago, she accepted the mission for the neighboring region without hesitation.

　With her formidable strength as the Herrscher of Origin, completing the missions assigned by the Flame Chaser was naturally a simple matter for her.

　Afterwards, she took a ferry across the sea and successfully arrived at Java Island, where Jakarta is located.

　It was only at this point that Alicia contacted Moros through the [Wraith Jar].

　Although she said it was to surprise herself, the necromancer genuinely believed it.

　However, he also understood that Alicia's sudden attack was inextricably linked to the impression he had left on her in the past.

　Recalling the tornadoes that had struck before and a series of events from much earlier times, Moros had to admit that Alicia's concerns were not unfounded.

　As a demigod-level necromancer who had undergone four leaps in life level, he was certainly able to understand the deeper meaning behind Alicia's unexpected visit.

　She did not want Morros to unleash another bloodbath on this land.

　This concern serves as both a warning against Morales' past behavior and an expectation for his future performance.

　The necromancer had no doubt that if he ignored Alicia's subtle warning, the emotional bond between him and this flawless goddess would be completely severed.

　Having realized this, Moros decisively abandoned his original plan.

　Use the souls of the intelligent beings on this land to replenish the low-level soul crystals consumed by the twenty remote curse-killing rituals a few months ago.

　Compared to Alicia's feelings, the temporary gaps in those lower-level soul crystals seemed insignificant.

　Anyway, there are serious offenders in prison who can be used as substitutes, and there's no urgent need to use these materials in the short term...

　While comforting himself, Moros reveled in the wonderful sensation on his arm.

　Miss Pink Fairy ultimately felt that her surprise attack was inappropriate.

　When the young man around her chose to back down, she was willing to give him a small favor.

　Of course, this is only because Moros and her relationship has become so deep; otherwise, Alicia wouldn't have done such a thing.

　Seemingly noticing Moros's gaze, the pink fairy turned around gracefully and gradually approached him.

　The distance between them shortened silently until her breath gently brushed against his cheek, bringing a faint fragrance.

　"Don't move, look in the mirror with your eyes... Okay, how do I look?"

　At this moment, Alicia had shed her uniform as the captain of the Fire Moth Special Operations Team and put on a snow-white long dress.

　Her skirt swayed gently with her movements, like a blooming tulip, making her fair skin even more beautiful and charming.

　Faced with the question from such a beautiful fairy lady who was far removed from the world, Moros felt an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

　He admired sincerely.

　"You look... breathtakingly beautiful."

　Hearing such a straightforward compliment would definitely make most girls feel embarrassed.

　But who is Alicia?

　How could her reaction be the same as that of an ordinary woman?

　The pink fairy winked playfully, her voice tinged with a hint of mockery.

　"Keep a close eye on me."

　After saying that, she lightly jumped back a step, once again widening the distance between herself and Moros.

　As she moved, the hem of her white dress fluttered in the wind, like a white cloud dancing in the air, a breathtaking sight.

　Her smile was as bright as the sun, warm and dazzling, giving Moros an unprecedented sense of warmth and tranquility.

　Even the necromancer, known for his madness and ruthlessness, was touched by this warmth.

　He gazed intently into Alicia's deep, ocean-blue eyes, as if trying to see through every secret of her soul.

　"You are so beautiful, no matter what you wear, your charm cannot be hidden."

　Moros once again exclaimed in heartfelt praise, his voice filled with sincerity and deep emotion.

　"Okay, that's enough, I'm going to cry if you keep talking."

　Alicia pouted playfully and lowered her head, seemingly a little embarrassed.

　But the next second, she looked up again, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

　"However, I really appreciate your compliment. So, in return, I'd like to give you a special surprise."

　As she spoke, the pink fairy took out a delicate little box from behind her and handed it to Moros.

　With curiosity and anticipation, the necromancer took the box and carefully opened it, where a crystal-clear pink flower lay quietly.

　Under the sunlight, the crystal petals seemed to emit a faint glow.

　"This is a gift I specially picked out for you. I hope you like it."

　"Alisia said gently, her eyes sparkling with anticipation."

　Looking at the crystal flower in the box, Moros's heart skipped a beat, as if something had gripped it tightly.

　He understood that by making a choice that aligned with Alicia's wishes, he had truly gained her approval.

　“I really like it, thank you, Ellie.”

　Moros gently picked up the crystal flower and carefully stored it in his storage ring, as if he wanted to preserve this beauty forever.

　Then, he slowly reached out and gently touched Alicia's cheek with his fingertips.

　The necromancer's movements were gentle and cautious, as if he were waiting for her response, giving her the freedom to refuse at any time.

　At that moment, their eyes met, filled with mutual understanding and deep affection.

　Alicia hesitated for a moment at the person's actions, but ultimately did not choose to dodge.

　She gently closed her eyes, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

　Even the pink fairy would feel shy in such a situation.

　Next

　At that moment, Moros's fingers touched her skin, and the softness and warmth made his heart tremble, as if an electric current passed through his fingertips and went straight to his heart.

　Alicia felt the warmth emanating from Moros's fingertips, a sensation she had never experienced before, both strange and familiar, which made her heart race.

　She slowly opened her eyes and met Moros's affectionate gaze.

Chapter 250 The Reign of the Necromancer

　In order to give Alicia a deeper understanding of his ruling philosophy and methods, Morros decided to take her to the Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta.

　There, all the newly brought nobles under the rule of the necromancer in this land eagerly awaited his arrival.

　Necromancers enjoy extremely high renown among the elite of this planet.

　Therefore, when he and Alicia walked hand in hand into the lavishly decorated banquet hall, everyone's attention was focused on this extraordinary couple.

　Then, these elegantly dressed and graceful nobles showered the two with endless praise.

　However, behind these words of praise lies their deep awe and fervent anticipation for Moros.

　This is also easy to understand.

　Whether it's confronting and annihilating the Herrschers head-on or going head-to-head with the rulers of human society and achieving victory, such achievements are enough to command the respect of these local elites.

　As for expectations, that's even easier to understand.

　The reason they so eagerly pledged allegiance to the necromancer was precisely because of his ruling style, which was almost like that of Western European feudalism.

　Now, they are just one step away from the power and status they have always dreamed of.

　How could these local elites not be filled with anticipation?

　Moros generally maintained a subtle goodwill towards these people who were about to become the rulers of his forces.

　He knew perfectly well that these men who chose to surrender out of self-interest or fear were not trustworthy at all.

　After all, they could join him for these very reasons, and they could also betray him for the same reasons.

　This is the fundamental reason why the vast majority of forces lack trust in traitors.

　Most factions would only assign these fickle, opportunistic individuals marginal roles like lackeys, and would never entrust them with important responsibilities.

　However, Moros didn't care about this.

　In his eyes, managing this land inhabited by tens of millions of people was not an important matter.

　Unfortunately, in this era that will eventually face its final judgment, no place on this planet can become an eternal sanctuary.

　In that case, choosing to treat these territories, which could be lost at any time, as colonies and simply drawing nourishment from them for progress on the path of magic would be a wise strategy.

　Of course, all of this stems from the fact that necromancers possess demiplanes as an absolutely safe escape route.

　If this escape route did not exist, he might have chosen another path to rule.

　Centralized power was established, and all efforts were devoted to accelerating the development of the territory in order to increase the combat strength of their side as much as possible before the arrival of the Herrscher of the End.

　However, there are no "what ifs" in this world, and the past cannot be changed.

　For a demigod-level necromancer with an absolutely safe escape route, if it weren't for the few people he cared about, Moros might have already chosen to retreat to the demiplane and wait for the end of the world.
