Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Moros paused for a moment, then a satisfied and happy smile spread across his face as he gazed affectionately at Alicia.

　"Yes, it was truly an unparalleled enjoyment, as if the whole world had become so beautiful at that moment."

　Upon hearing this, the pink fairy's smile deepened, like a blooming white lily.

　She patted Moros on the shoulder and then said in a tone that was half-joking and half-seriously.

　"Then you can't let go so easily, or I'll cry."

　"Of course, I will absolutely not let go!"

　With an expression more serious than ever before, the necromancer looked firmly at Alicia and solemnly made a promise.

　"No matter what happens in the future, I will hold your hand tightly, weather the storms with you, and never be separated from you!"

　After a long while, Moros seemed to snap out of a dream and asked Alicia why she had come.

　He naturally knew that the pink fairy's trip was closely related to the Sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death.

　However, what the necromancer was really curious about was whether this was an arrangement by the Firemoth organization or Alicia's personal will.

　This subtle difference will directly determine his subsequent attitude and actions.

　"The Council of Flame Chasers did indeed appoint me to lead the expedition against the Sixth Herrscher..."

　The pink fairy's gaze swept over the lifeless corpse behind Moros, and she frankly explained the mission she had accepted to him.

　"However, it seems that my mission is now complete."

　The daughter of God loves all mankind equally.

　But for those companies

　She remained keenly aware of those who might exploit her.

　During her childhood, Alicia traveled the world alone, an experience that gave her a deep understanding of the complexity and diversity of human nature.

　She has witnessed humanity's kindness and brilliance, as well as its darkness and greed.

　Therefore, Alicia has her own unique insights and considerations regarding this mission to defeat the Sixth Herrscher.

　The pink fairy actually had no objection to the action of defeating the Sixth Herrscher.

　However, Alicia also refused to follow the ideas of the Firemoth Council and use her deep emotional bond with Moros as a bargaining chip to force the necromancer to give up the honor that should have been his—to fight the god's apostle who descended into the world with the Sixth Great Collapse.

　With Alicia's explanation, Moros gained a deeper understanding of the Firemoth Council's schemes.

　The necromancer was, after all, a demigod-level Ashan spellcaster capable of wielding legendary magic. The moment he saw the pink fairy, he guessed what the fire-chasing moth was thinking.

　But Moros couldn't guess some of the details.

　For example, Alicia, through her extensive network of contacts, learned that the operation was actually proposed by Dr. May.

　Not every member of the Firemoth Council wants to offend a supernatural being that is clearly not to be trifled with.

　In order to avoid angering Morros, some councilors would naturally choose to reveal the "truth" to Alicia through certain channels.

　These lawmakers' thoughts are not hard to guess.

　They were simply playing a sophisticated political game—trying to find a balance between necromancers and fire-chasing moths, implementing a strategy of hedging their bets.

　Having noted down the names of the councilors who had expressed goodwill towards Alicia, Morros began to ponder how he should handle the situation.

　Of course, before making any decisions, he had to understand Miss Pink Fairy's position and attitude.

　"Ellie, are you coming over here?"

　"I'm sorry... I'll have to disappoint you."

　In response to the necromancer's invitation, Alicia shook her head and smiled.

　"Yeah……"

　After stroking his smooth chin, Moros made his decision.

　“Aili, take this [Communication Badge] back with you. I will personally negotiate this matter with the Firemoth Council.”

Chapter 287 The Shock of the Firemoth Council

　Having settled his business, Moros extended a warm invitation to Alicia, hoping she would join him on the imposing floating warship that hovered in the sky, and sit down for afternoon tea with Velvi.

　Faced with such an invitation, Miss Pink Fairy accepted without hesitation.

　After all, it had been a while since she had seen Velvi.

　The causal relationship here is actually easy to understand.

　God's daughter truly loves all people equally.

　But she clearly prefers pretty young women!

　Having received a response from Alicia, Moros gently waved the [Underworld Staff] in his hand.

　[Instant Cast Spell - Summon Creature]!

　As the magical energy spread, a ghostly dragon tens of meters long was summoned from the cemetery territory.

　Despite the fact that the battle between the undead legion and the elite Honkai Beast legion has become a foregone conclusion after the addition of the Death Avatar.

　However, with the battle not yet completely over, the necromancer was unwilling to withdraw the ghost dragon from the tense battlefield.

　"Roar!"

　Driven by the will of the necromancer, the undead dragon that stood at the top of the Necropolis unit system lowered its ferocious skeletal head.

　"Ellie..."

　With an extremely gentlemanly gesture, Moros extended a hand and invited the pink fairy lady.

　"Wow, riding a dragon is so exciting!"

　Alicia's eyes sparkled with excitement.

　Although it wasn't her first time riding a demon dragon, her face still radiated genuine joy.

　Seeing the flawless smile on the face of the cute pink-haired girl beside him, Moros's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, as if all his fatigue had vanished in that moment.

　Whether it's the Herrscher of Death who descended upon the world with the Sixth Honkai Impact, or the floating warship that set sail from the Australian continent, both are the focus of the Firemoth's high attention.

　To ensure that neither of them disappears from their sight, this power has long surpassed that of ordinary international organizations, even going so far as to utilize cutting-edge military satellites in geostationary orbit.

　These artificial satellites, which took enormous human and material resources to launch into orbit, are now recklessly consuming precious fuel for orbital adjustments.

　This is all to provide the members of the Firemoth Council with the most accurate and timely first-hand information.

　In fact, these military satellites have indeed perfectly fulfilled their assigned missions.

　Through the real-time video data they transmit back to the ground, the Firemoth Council is able to clearly see everything happening on the battlefield on the outskirts of Reno City.

　Whether it was the fierce clash between the undead legion, the floating warships, and the Honkai Beast legion, or the contest between the necromancer and the Herrscher of Death, it was all displayed before the members of the Firemoth Council.

　Even though the mobility of the latter two means that these images are only of extremely short lifespan, this does not diminish the enormous value of military satellites in intelligence gathering.

　When the floating warships built by Velvi demonstrated unparalleled strength in the battle against the flying Honkai Beast Legion, the members of the Firemoth Council began to discuss whether they should start building their own floating warships to further enhance the organization's overall combat capabilities.

　As the main force of the undead legion launched a full-scale offensive through the demiplane portal, these high-ranking councilors had to reassess the formidable combat power of the necromancer's legion and silently raised their evaluation of it.

　The thousands of undead dragons soaring in the sky made those in power who knew the truth behind the attack on the capital of Mu Continent experience the panic and unease they once felt.

　As over three thousand different models of the [Undead Engine] began to unleash their firepower, the members of the Firemoth Council were transported to the battlefield of World War I, experiencing the awe-inspiring roar of artillery fire.

　In particular, the 11-inch (280mm) and 12-inch (305mm) caliber [Undead Engines] brought a little shock to the councilors with their powerful firepower.

　However, up to this point, the battle remains within the comprehension of the members of the Firemoth Council.

　Admittedly, the undead army is more powerful than ever before, but compared to the elite Honkai Beast army directly under the Herrscher, the councilors still firmly believe that this army of the dead cannot overthrow their rule.

　After all, the undead army has not yet reached a size that could threaten the entire human world.

　Moros is ultimately just a cemetery city, and even with bonuses from Lost Tomb, Castle, and Dragon Tombstone, its weekly troop production has a clear cap.

　As for the idea of ​​building a second cemetery city, after studying the relevant spell data in depth, Moros had to admit that the realization of this grand vision required an extremely high level of [alchemy], which was far beyond what he could achieve in a short period of time.

　Of course, if you lower the standards and only want to build some field unit recruitment buildings such as [Graveyard], [Crypt], and [RuinedTower] for recruiting low-tier graveyard units, then the required [Alchemy] level is within Moros's reach.

　This is precisely the goal he plans to implement after completing the legendary spell [Legion's Protection].

　Getting back to the main point, while the undead legion and the floating warships fought side by side to resist the fierce attack of the Honkai Beast Legion, the members of the Firemoth Council could watch calmly and occasionally express their own opinions.

　However, the moment the necromancer and the Herrscher of Death clashed, the breathtaking confrontation instantly made the atmosphere in the Moth of Fire Council tense.

　The enormous undead dragon's dark breath was so powerful that many councilors were shocked and stood up abruptly from their seats.

　The scene of the necromancer using a teleportation portal to intercept the Herrscher of Death's Honkai energy spears made the councilors feel as if they had returned to the battlefield where they fought against the Herrscher of the Void, witnessing the prowess of the Second Herrscher who once single-handedly overwhelmed the entire human society.

　If that's all there is to it, then the members of the Firemoth Council wouldn't necessarily find it unacceptable.

　The necromancer was ultimately a powerful and extraordinary being capable of defeating the UN forces and forcing those in power at the top of the human society's pyramid to bow their heads.

　He gained the upper hand in his battle against the Herrscher, a result that, while surprising, was also reasonable.

　However, when the necromancer severely injured the Herrscher of Death using some unknown means and then killed her completely in a short time, the councilors were filled with turmoil.

　Recalling the clash between the necromancer and the Herrscher of Wind, he did not display such astonishing strength back then.

　Now that he can do such a thing, doesn't that mean the necromancer's power has increased once again?

　For these members of parliament who had conflicts with necromancers and whose interests were at stake, this news was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

Chapter 288 The Sixth Great Collapse Ends

　In the battle against the Sixth Herrscher, the Necromancer, the necromancer displayed unprecedented power.

　This caused the members of the Firemoth Council to lose faith in the organization's future for the first time.

　Representatives Eugene, Vincent, and Wang, who held real power in the Moth Chaser Council, were now forced to...

　Facing a harsh reality.

　Even if the construction of the Underwater City of Abyss and the Lunar City of New Atlantis is successfully completed, they must re-examine and reconsider their relationship with the necromancer.

　Faced with a transcendent being capable of easily defeating a Herrscher, are the geographical advantages of Abyss City and Neo-Atlan really that secure?

　This question echoed in the minds of more than one member of parliament.

　As we all know, the oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown.

　The members of the Moth Chaser Council were clearly unwilling to touch upon or verify this question, whose answer was still unknown.

　After all, necromancers have already proven their madness through a series of actions.

　Once the delicate and fragile relationship between the two sides completely breaks down, and Abyss City and New Atlantis fail to function as expected, what will become of these powerful, flesh-eating beings?

　Thinking of this, many members of parliament couldn't help but cast admiring glances at Dr. May, who was deep in thought at the moment.

　With the necromancer displaying his terrifying power, Dr. May's previously proposed "cooperation" strategy seems to have become their wisest choice.

　The councilors exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus—Dr. May needed to assume greater responsibility.

　Moros didn't care about the attitude of the Moths of Fire.

　He was well aware that his battle with the Herrscher of Death would inevitably be observed by those in power at the top of human society.

　However, he also believes that until an effective countermeasure is found to deal with the "Death Curse," those in positions of power and those who wield power will choose to remain cautious and restrained.

　Those powerful and wealthy individuals who lost their lives despite being heavily guarded by the "Death Curse" serve as the best warning to necromancers.

　The reason why the powerful and wealthy often rashly declare "at all costs" is mainly because they know that they do not have to pay the price.

　If they were to personally bear the consequences, those in power would naturally become more cautious and make decisions only after careful consideration.

　After all, the more power they wield, the more they fear the threat of death.

　Back then, Moros cleverly used this to acquire a large amount of resources.

　Now that he has completed his fourth leap in life level, he understands this principle even more.

　Getting back to the main point, when the necromancer and Alicia arrived at the battlefield where the undead army clashed with the Honkai beast army, riding the Ghost Dragon together, the Honkai beast army was already in dire straits.

　If it were only the undead legion and the floating warships, the Honkai Beast legion directly under the Herrscher of Death wouldn't have reached such a desperate situation so quickly.

　The Honkai Beasts forming the Honkai Frenzy are not human armies.

　They are unaffected by morale, tireless, and unafraid of death.

　Even though the Herrscher of Death had fallen, these elite Honkai Beasts still followed her last instructions, launching wave after wave of frenzied and fearless charges against the undead legion and the floating warships.
