Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Under Klein's command, Cang Xuan quickly activated the defibrillator and tightly placed the oxygen mask on Möbius's face.

　Immediately afterwards, the gene stabilizer was precisely injected into Möbius's body.

　However, frustratingly, these emergency measures did not achieve the desired results.

　In Danju's despairing gaze, Möbius's electrocardiogram continued to smooth out, as if foreshadowing an irreversible end.

　Finally, when the Holter monitor emitted a piercing "beep beep," and the once vibrant lifeline on the screen turned into a cold, straight line, Klein's eyes instantly lost all their light, becoming empty and lost.

　"……how come?"

　She murmured to herself, her voice filled with disbelief.

　"Doctor!" *2

　Danzhu and Cangxuan's screams echoed in the operating room, their helplessness and despair like sharp blades piercing Klein's already broken heart.

　Amidst the piercing scream, the scalpel in Klein's hand slipped limply to the ground with a crisp sound.

　The next moment, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away, collapsing onto the cold floor of the operating room, tears silently streaming down her face.

　While the three people in the operating room were still immersed in endless grief, the jarring "beep beep" of the Holter monitor quietly disappeared.

　The once-silent green lines on the electrocardiogram now begin to pulsate faintly, revealing a glimmer of life.

　Unfortunately, Klein, Danzhu, and Cangxuan, deeply mired in grief, had their hearts firmly bound by despair and had no time to notice this subtle change.

　The heavy atmosphere was broken when a familiar and charming female voice echoed leisurely in the operating room.

　"Alright, stop being sad. Look, I'm standing right in front of you, aren't I?"

　As soon as the voice fell, the three of them snapped out of their daze and looked up.

　Mebius had already stepped off the operating table, squatted down, and was gazing at the paralyzed...

　The green-haired girl sitting on the ground looked up and reached out her hand.

　"PhD?"

　"Klein, do you know?"

　Mebius's eyes gleamed with a deep light as he slowly spoke.

　"The snake, having experienced death, was reborn."

Chapter 271 The Birth of the Armored Doll

　"What? You've completed the super transformation surgery and become a fusion warrior?"

　Moros's voice suddenly rang out in the silent library of the Magic Guild, his face revealing his shock.

　Just now, Mebius used the magical communication of the [Wraith Jar] to transmit this shocking news to the necromancer who was engrossed in studying magical texts.

　"Yes, although there were some setbacks along the way, the result was unexpectedly perfect."

　In "The Vengeful Jar," Mebius's voice sounds relaxed and confident.

　Just like the person who faced death during the previous super-transformation surgery wasn't her at all.

　“Mébius, are you really sure you're alright? Your body…”

　Moros pressed for an answer.

　He worried that the surgery not only brought Mebius great power, but also might hide unknown risks and hidden dangers.

　"Don't worry, Moros. I'm fine, even better than before. I can feel that the super-transformation surgery has given me unprecedented power."

　Hearing this, Moros's worries lessened slightly.

　He knew Möbius's character well; she was never a reckless person.

　Since she expressed her state of mind so confidently, she must have had a good reason for it.

　As expected, Mebius then revealed to Moros her ability to "come back to life".

　This news made the necromancer instantly understand everything that Mebius had said before.

　Unlike Möbius, who was bound by the moth-to-a-flame world of his own.

　On this planet, Möbius has access to far more resources than he does in his native world.

　Furthermore, the fact that she obtained Shesa's genetic sample long before her own in the original world allowed her to calmly delve into the genetic mysteries of this serpentine judgment-class Honkai Beast without having to hastily initiate the super-mutation surgery due to insufficient preparation.

　More importantly, Moros's support allowed Mebius to study magical creatures that she would never have had the opportunity to encounter in her native world, such as low-ranking vampires and vengeful spirits.

　These unique magical creatures not only greatly enriched Mebius's scientific research, but also provided her with a constant source of innovative ideas.

　For a scientific giant like Möbius, the importance of these ideas and thoughts is self-evident.

　Of course, the most important part of these studies is the exploration of the corpses of those Herrschers.

　The super-transformation surgery, a scientific achievement pioneered by Möbius and May, shares the same principle, but in practice, the two took different paths.

　The core objective of the super-transformation surgery pursued by Mebius is to directly transform humans into a life form similar to a Herrscher.

　This subversive concept aims to grant humans superhuman strength and lifespan, but its direct alteration of the human form of existence clearly contradicts the values ​​and moral principles upheld by the Moth of Fire Council.

　This is also the fundamental reason why she chose to leave the Moth of Fire and accept Moros's invitation.

　When the moth that chases the flame transforms from an aid in the pursuit of the "infinity" into an obstacle, Möbius's choice speaks for itself.

　Dr. Mei's super-transformation surgery was relatively conservative. She chose to embed the genes of Honkai Beasts into human bodies, thereby creating super soldiers who looked like humans but were actually Honkai Beasts.

　Admittedly, Dr. Mei's hypermutation surgery is still essentially a modification of the human form of existence.

　However, compared to Mebius's radical proposal, it was clearly more readily accepted by the Moth of Fire council.

　Humans always prefer compromise.

　Getting back to the main point, after Moros gained a deeper understanding of the power Mebius had acquired after becoming a Fusion Warrior, he began to consider whether he should also undergo the Super Transformation Surgery.

　He was not intimidated by the unusually low success rate of the Mebius version of the super-transformation surgery.

　As a demigod-level spellcaster, the necromancer certainly has the ability to save his own life on the operating table.

　For him, even if the surgery failed, it would only be a waste of some Judgment-level Honkai Beast genes and would not pose any fatal threat to him.

　However, what Moros was really worried about was not the risk of the surgery failing, but the unknown consequences that might come if the surgery were successful.

　Unlike other beings on this planet, he, who owned the cemetery territory, already had a bright future ahead of him.

　As the saying goes, "those who are complacent fear the unknown." Knowing that he was on the verge of success, Moros had more concerns than Mebius and the others when facing an uncertain future.

　Compared to the uncertainty surrounding fusion warriors, the renowned liches and vampire lords of the Ashan world have already outlined a clear blueprint for necromancers after transforming into liches or vampires.

　This forced him to start thinking carefully about whether the hyperplasia surgery really met his expectations and plans for the future.

　Ultimately, he made a decision.

　Well, before breaking through the limitations of the hero panel, I'd better not cause any more trouble...

　With this in mind, Moros decided to temporarily shelve the plan for the super-transformation surgery.

　The news that Mebius had undergone a super-transformation surgery and successfully transformed into a fusion warrior not only astonished the necromancer, but also moved Velvi.

　Both being among the most outstanding geniuses of their time and both receiving strong support from Moros, Vervière and Möbius have long regarded each other as formidable rivals in the field of scientific research.

　Mebius's pursuit of genetic ascension and Vervier's focus on mechanical ascension represent different directions of exploration for their vision of the future form of human life.

　In the past, Velvet was able to gain a slight advantage over Mebius in their battles thanks to the [Divine Key], which could almost perfectly unleash the core performance of the Herrscher.

　But now, the situation has reversed.

　Mebius has made initial strides into the field of genetic advancement through hypermutation surgery.

　However, Vervier still faces many challenges and regrets in its exploration of mechanical ascension.

　Vervi knew that it was unrealistic to surpass Möbius's transformation on a life level in a short period of time.

　But this did not discourage her; instead, it fueled her fighting spirit.

　Faced with this harsh reality, all of Virvi's personalities reached a consensus.

　They must do everything in their power to ensure that Möbius does not leave them far behind in scientific research.

　With her exceptional talent and intelligence, it was entirely predictable that she would create astonishing results when she truly devoted all her energy to scientific and technological research and development.

　Just one month after Mebius transformed into a Fusion Warrior, Velvi showed Morros her latest research findings.

　"Is this your work? It's an amazing masterpiece."

　Standing in Vilvi's mechanical workshop, the necromancer stared intently at the humanoid machine lying on the workbench before him.

　If he wasn't mistaken, these little guys, whose bodies resembled humans but possessed a unique chibi design, were the "Armed Dolls" who would leave a significant mark on history.

Chapter 272 The Sixth Great Collapse Arrives

　A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest of South America can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.

　It is obvious that the influence of a demigod-level necromancer who occupies the Australian continent, New Zealand, and the Indonesian archipelago, and has deep connections with several heroes, is undoubtedly more profound and shocking.

　Due to the existence of Moros, the development of human civilization in this world is significantly lagging behind that of the original world at the same time.

　And the Honkai, a force closely related to the progress of civilization, has also undergone corresponding changes.

　Under the watchful eye of the Cocoon of the End, the process of Honkai judgment facing this planet has been significantly delayed compared to the same period in the original world.

　Even so, this delay is only a few years.

　When Velvi successfully activated the program of the world's first armed doll, the threshold for collapse also reached a critical point.

　Immediately afterwards, the sixth Great Collapse struck!

　This time, the accompanying divine apostles did not appear in places like Mu Continent, New Zealand, or the Far Eastern Islands, where there had been precedents of Herrschers descending. Instead, they unexpectedly descended upon a quiet little town in the Americas.

　This is a town formed by lumberjacks who gathered during the American pioneering period.

　Thanks to the completion of the Pacific Railroad, this once desolate place with only a few dozen people gradually prospered and developed into a small town with tens of thousands of residents.

　Small towns of this size are actually quite common in North America.

　However, they often become breeding grounds for evil forces such as cultists, murderers, evil spirits, and monsters to run rampant in many horror stories.

　There's no way around it; the cultural and geographical environment of this place is just too superior.

　If roads and communications are cut off, these towns become isolated islands.

　More importantly, due to the close relationships and familiarity among the town's residents, its overall level of armed force is relatively weak.

　Apart from the limited-resource armory at the town's police station, the weapons stockpile here is negligible.

　This small town, which was fortunate or unfortunate to have welcomed the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death, is a typical example of this.

　Before the Great Collapse, a group of people who worshipped an evil god were active in this town.

　church.

　Devout cult members lost themselves in the elaborate illusions of evil gods woven by the church's high priest, unable to extricate themselves.

　Yes, the evil god worshipped by this cult of evil gods is actually a product of the church's high priest's fabrication.

　This is not difficult to understand.

　Under the seal of the Cocoon of the End, no native deity will be born on this planet, and the star gods who hold the reins of destiny will not turn their attention to this remote planet.

　Ironically, even the local sheriff and mayor, lured by the greenbacks, chose to join this church.

　In this situation, although the Stars and Stripes still flew outside the town's government buildings, the entire town was actually being secretly controlled by this cult of evil.

　The townspeople weren't entirely unaware of all this.

　Ultimately, it's just a counterfeit product without any real gods, so it's quite normal that a few unlucky souls occasionally appear and are sacrificed as offerings.

　Witnessing these victims being ruthlessly taken away, and hearing their stories of terror and despair, how incredibly stupid must the residents of this small town be to turn a blind eye to such an evil cult?

　However, the harsh reality is right in front of us.

　On the one hand, they feared the authority of the sheriff and the mayor and dared not easily resist.

　On the other hand, the fact that their own son had joined the cult due to blind worship made them feel even more helpless.

　Moreover, the daily necessities distributed by the church every week, such as eggs, bread, butter, and napkins, have long become an indispensable part of their lives.

　In addition, this cult seems to have an unwritten rule that it never targets the locals of the town.

　Therefore, despite their dissatisfaction and doubts, the town's residents chose to accept it all and reached a delicate balance with the cult.
