Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　He stepped forward slowly and gently placed his own gift among the pile of exquisite presents.

　Wingsofthe

　Angel!

　This magical artifact, forged from the wings of a true angel, has a straightforward and pure effect—granting its wearer the ability to fly through the skies.

　Although this magical artifact wasn't particularly useful to Alicia, who was already capable of soaring through the skies with the power of the Primordial Herrscher.

　But when it comes to birthday gifts, practicality isn't that important.

　More importantly, will this gift touch the heart of Miss Pink Fairy and bring her that special joy?

　It is obvious that [Angel Wings] has done an exceptionally good job in this regard.

　Wow! Thank you! I knew you were the best to me!

　Hearing the pleasant and familiar female voice behind him, Moros knew that the magical artifact he had specially crafted had achieved its intended effect.

　Turning around, the necromancer gazed tenderly at Alicia, feeling warmth and contentment in his heart.

　"My dearest Moros, the gift you sent is absolutely perfect!"

　Alicia smiled, picked up the Angel Wings, and gestured expectantly for Moros to put them on her.

　Faced with such an invitation, Moros felt an indescribable surge of happiness and excitement.

　He carefully put the wings on her, as if he were crowning a princess.

　Alicia was no stranger to the magical artifacts crafted by necromancers.

　Therefore, she quickly mastered how to use this wing-shaped magical artifact.

　As her wings slowly unfurled, Alicia truly transformed into an angel descended to earth; her beauty and divinity reached their peak at that moment.

　Originally, Alicia was the shining star of this birthday party.

　Now, as she spreads her dazzling wings, she appears like a true angel descending to earth, becoming the center of attention.

　The guests exclaimed in admiration and cheers, captivated by her beauty and charm.

　Along with this glory, the necromancer standing beside her was also surrounded by countless gazes and calls.

　“Moros…”

　"tutor……"

　“My dear collaborator…”

　Amid the calls of the guests, Eden, Velvi, Mebius, and others recognized Moros, who was wearing a blue-purple robe.

　They nodded slightly to show their respect and also offered their sincerest blessings to Alicia.

　Eden smiled and said softly.

　Happy birthday, Ellie! May all your dreams come true, and may time stand still at this beautiful moment.

　Velvi winked mischievously.

　"Happy birthday, Alicia! You didn't expect that the device I designed would actually come in handy here. It seems your birthday party is destined to be extraordinary."

　Mebius responded with a smug look.

　"If Moros hadn't dragged me here, I wouldn't have come to this kind of party. But since I'm here, I'll just say hello—Happy Birthday, Alicia."

　Finally, Moros stepped forward, gazing deeply into Alicia's azure eyes, as if trying to absorb her entire soul into his gaze.

　He offered his blessings softly.

　Happy birthday, Alicia.

　Amidst the blessings of the others, Alicia made the first cut into the cake.

　The smile on her face was so pure and so moving, as if the whole world was blooming for her.

　At that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and fulfillment.

Chapter 295 Hero Template Promotion Quest - Blue

　Demiplane, Congress, Lord's Hall.

　Standing in the center of the Lord's Hall, before the gleaming [Lord's Heart], Moros was lost in deep memories.

　The joyful scenes from last night are still vivid in my mind. The sweetness and warmth between them at Alicia's birthday party still seem to linger in the air.

　Ellie...

　He whispered softly, his fingertips lightly touching his lips, as if he could still savor the sweetness of last night's passionate kiss.

　Even though it was just a light, casual kiss, it was enough to fill his heart with joy and satisfaction.

　After a brief moment of reverie, Moros pulled himself back to focus his attention on the Lord's Heart before him.

　He stretched out his finger and gently touched its cool surface. A faint chill instantly spread from his fingertip throughout his body, instantly invigorating him.

　At the same time, a notification sound rang in his mind.

　[You have obtained the Hero Template Promotion Quest (blue). Do you want to complete it immediately?]

　[Note: If you choose no, you will need to wait 24 demiplane standard hours before you can apply for this promotion task again.]

　Yes, that's exactly what he did.

　The reason why I am standing here.

　As a demigod-level necromancer who has already broken through the level 35 barrier, Moros is confident that he has enough strength to take on this blue-level hero template promotion mission.

　He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination, and made one last check to see if his preparations were complete.

　Confidence and arrogance are not the same thing.

　Even though he was confident in completing this hero template promotion mission, Moros never underestimated the necessary preparations.

　[Gift from the Magic Well] Three sets of magic potions (36 bottles), with about 10 months remaining on the shelf life, that should be enough...

　The semi-finished undead army stored in the storage ring is a whole squadron (800 units), which should be enough...

　Five Water Element Bottles and 15 Magic Well Power Bottles are more than enough...

　……

　Having confirmed that all preparations were complete, a strong sense of determination welled up within Moros.

　"it's time."

　He muttered to himself, his voice revealing an undeniable firmness.

　Without any further hesitation, he made his choice decisively.

　【yes】!

　Just like what happened last time when the green-tier hero template promotion mission was executed.

　The moment Moros made his selection on the hero panel, the space around him seemed to be struck by a powerful force, and immediately began to tremble violently.

　What followed was a dizzying sensation that was both familiar and unfamiliar, crashing against all his senses like a violent wave.

　Even a demigod-level superhuman like a necromancer who has already undergone four leaps in life level, finds it difficult to accurately grasp his position and direction amidst such drastic spatial changes.

　However, Moros remained unusually calm in the face of all this.

　Having already made ample mental preparations, he did not show the slightest sign of panic.

　He calmly closed his eyes and quietly waited for the dizziness to gradually subside.

　Fortunately, the process did not last long.

　In just a few minutes, the dizziness gradually dissipated, and Moros regained his footing.

　When he opened his eyes again, what came into view was the snowflakes flying all over the sky, and the magnificent steel towers standing on the vast ice field.

　Having experienced the previous Hero Template Promotion Quest (Green) which brought him directly to the Collapsed Battlefield of Dubai, the Necromancer is not so sure this time that the distant steel tower is unrelated to his Hero Template Promotion Quest.

　Sure enough, just as he was staring intently at the giant tower and feeling that the steel tower looked more and more familiar, a new prompt popped up on the hero panel.

　[Hero Template Promotion Quest (Blue) - First Stage: Defeat the invading Honkai Beasts!]

　[Note: Task completion rating directly affects rewards!]

　Honkai Beasts? It seems this hero template promotion quest will once again unfold within the Tree Sea system...

　The thought had barely crossed his mind when, before Moros could even begin to explore the source of that familiar feeling, a horde of Honkai Beasts launched a fierce attack on him like a flood bursting its banks.

　Leading the pack was a majestic ice emperor.

　Its icy blue silicon-based bio-shell gleamed with a cold light, revealing the undeniable majesty of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

　Behind the Ice Emperor are several beings standing at the pinnacle of the lower-tier Honkai Beast system—Honkai Emperors.

　Although they are only lower-rank Honkai Beasts, they still possess great power and unique abilities.

　At this moment, these powerful Honkai Beasts each commanded hundreds of lower-ranking Honkai Beasts under their command, forming a massive and orderly attack formation that swept towards Moros like a tidal wave.

　court death!

　With a silent command in his mind, Moros began to cast a battle spell.

　Don't be fooled by the imposing aura of these Honkai Beasts; their combat power would make them mountain kings even in the Ashan world.

　However, for any demigod-level Ashan system professional, the attack cluster they formed was simply insignificant.

　Of course, compared to the Sandstorm Emperor encountered when performing the first stage of the Hero Template Promotion Quest (Green) and other Honkai Beasts born from the Dubai Collapse Disaster, the Honkai Beast swarm in front of us is already quite powerful.

　There is a huge gap between high-rank Honkai Beasts and low-rank Honkai Beasts.

　A single Ice Emperor could easily wipe out all the Honkai Beasts born from the Honkai Disaster in Dubai.

　However, compared to Moros, even Emperor-class Honkai Beasts are nothing special.

　It can do nothing but take a little time and magic from him.

　The Tower of Babylon is Schicksal's second largest Honkai energy research facility.

　The largest research facility of Destiny is the cluster of floating islands above the Mediterranean Sea—the Destiny Headquarters.

　This Babylonian laboratory, located in the snowy Siberian plains, claims to be a medical institution belonging to Destiny.

　But in reality, Honkai energy development and weaponry have been taking place here all along.

　Research, biological experiments, and...

　Human experiments that were so infamous that even God himself was unwilling to bring them to the forefront.

　This towering steel tower reaches into the clouds, with a height of 50 stories.

　The bottom 20 floors are the energy zone, which houses a massive Honkai energy reactor that provides a continuous source of energy for the entire facility.

　The remaining 30 floors are divided into three research departments, each of which carries an important mission for the scientific research cause of Destiny.

　The department primarily researches advanced systems technologies that combine Honkai energy with the human body.

　The artificial stigmata currently used by the Valkyrie Squad are their creations.

　The energy sector is dedicated to fundamental theoretical research on collapse energy, and their work provides solid theoretical support and energy security for research in other laboratories.

　The weapons department, based on the theories proposed by the energy department, transforms Honkai energy into actual combat power.

　Currently, this department is assisting the headquarters' weapons development unit in researching the [Throne of Gods] weapon.

Chapter 296 First Ring of the Mission Completed and Confirmed

　As the second largest Honkai energy research facility of the Destiny Organization, the Tower of Babylon is renowned for its advanced technology.

　Its Honkai energy detection system, under normal circumstances, would never miss the battle between Moros and the Honkai Beast horde led by the Ice Emperor.

　However, this is an extremely rare and abnormal situation, one in ten thousand.

　Not long ago, this giant steel tower located in the Siberian snowfield became the source of the second major collapse.

　Here, in order to study the technology of combining Honkai energy with the human body, researchers belonging to the Destiny Organization, in the name of "justice," pushed an innocent girl onto a cold experimental table.

　They may indeed harbor lofty visions and unwavering beliefs to save the world, but none of this can conceal the cold-blooded cruelty behind their demonic acts.

　These girls were lured in under the guise of adoption, treatment, or volunteering for drug trials, but in reality, they became victims of what researchers called the advancement of "human civilization."

　In the depths of despair, a young girl named Sirin prays to the gods for power, hoping to end all this pain and injustice.
