Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Zhang's first encounter with Xilin

　Moros was not surprised to see the Void Spear coming straight at him.

　He had foreseen this confrontation the moment he stepped into the Tower of Babel.

　As the Second Herrscher who wields the power of [Space], Sirin could not possibly fail to detect his arrival.

　Although his illusionary spells were enough to fool the monitoring system and even the advanced military satellites on high alert in geosynchronous orbit, such concealment methods were nothing but child's play in the face of Sirin's spatial perception, and could not hide his whereabouts at all.

　However, Moros never intended to hide anything from the Honkai Queen's senses from the very beginning.

　The necromancer understood that if he wanted to achieve even the bare minimum of cooperation with Sirin, he had to demonstrate abilities that would impress her.

　Otherwise, how could the Honkai Queen, who has already torn apart the human spirit, be easy to talk to?

　If we cannot demonstrate enough strength to attract her attention, then cooperation is out of the question.

　Given the Second Herrscher's current extreme hatred of humanity, Morros knew that if he appeared weak and powerless, Sirin's response would only be merciless slaughter.

　Therefore, in order to facilitate cooperation, he must make Sirin truly understand and feel his powerful strength.

　"What an unfriendly welcome."

　Although he said such words, one could tell from the indifferent expression on Moros's face that he had little fear of the Void Spear, which was capable of easily taking the life of a mid-level transcendent.

　Events unfolded exactly as he had predicted.

　To Sirin's disbelief, her Void Spear suddenly stopped as it approached Moros, eventually hovering silently in front of the young man clad in a brown cloak.

　There was a time when, even though Moros was only a legendary-rank necromancer, he was still able to defeat the Second Herrscher of the Void from the pre-civilization era.

　Now, having already transcended the boundaries of legend and entered the realm of demigods, he naturally has no fear of the current Herrscher of the Void before him.

　Moreover, this newly promoted Lawyer is still in her early stages and has not yet fully mastered her powers.

　Against an opponent like Moros, she clearly lacks sufficient strength and experience.

　Even so, Sirin did not give up her intention to attack.

　Since one Void Spear cannot shake the mysterious man before us, then we will overwhelm him with more Void Spears.

　With this in mind, Sirin unleashed her full power of [Space], generating dozens of sub-space spears that shimmered with orange-yellow light.

　Moreover, in order to completely eliminate the "lackeys of destiny" in her eyes, Sirin specially opened several portals around Moros.

　"Go to hell, human!"

　Accompanied by the Honkai Queen's shout, dozens of Void Spears shot out from these portals.

　They sliced ​​through the air with a sharp, piercing sound, heading straight for Moros.

　Faced with the overwhelming barrage of Void Spears attacking from all directions, a hint of amusement flashed in the necromancer's deep eyes.

　"Heh, good idea, but unfortunately..."

　With a soft chuckle, Moros's voice revealed an indescribable confidence.

　He didn't make any unnecessary movements, but the Void Spears that flew from the portal seemed to be frozen in time, hovering silently around him.

　Just as he did when dealing with the Herrscher of the Void from the previous civilization, this time, the necromancer once again demonstrated his masterful control over spatial power by adjusting spatial parameters.

　Compared to back then, Moros, now a demigod-level spellcaster from Ashan, can cast spells with even more astonishing effects and a new level of secrecy.

　At least Sirin, who wielded the power of [space], did not immediately notice the unusual nature of the space around him.

　Seeing that her two fierce attacks had failed to budge her opponent in the slightest, a sense of unease began to stir in Sirin's heart.

　However, confident in the power bestowed upon her by the gods, this newly born Herrscher did not choose to back down.

　She clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with an indomitable light, and whispered a command.

　Don't get too cocky!

　"Oh? You have even more tricks up your sleeve? Then let me see them."

　Moros's voice was full of provocation, as if he was enticing Sirin to unleash even greater power.

　Since becoming a Herrscher, when has Sirin ever been provoked like this?

　Therefore, driven by the anger in her heart, she did not hesitate to mobilize most of the remaining Honkai energy in her body.

　"Those destined for greatness deserve to die!"

　With a wave of her hands, two enormous right-angled prisms constructed from the power of imaginary numbers suddenly sprang out of space, crossing each other and hurtling rapidly toward Moros's location.

　This time, Sirin finally noticed the abnormality in the space around Morros.

　Therefore, just before the right square prism was about to touch Moros, she used her power of [Space] to adjust the abnormal spatial parameters around the necromancer back to normal.

　This change made her attacks seem even more strange.

　Eerie and deadly.

　Faced with Sirin's attack this time, Moros no longer maintained his previous nonchalance.

　After all, spatial attacks are extremely brutal, and a caster with poor physical condition could suffer serious injury if they are not careful.

　"This is kind of interesting."

　With that, Moros vanished from the spot in a flash.

　[Instant Spellcasting - Dimensional Journey]!

　When the space rippled again, he found himself in a completely different location.

　"What? How is this possible..."

　Celine's eyes widened in astonishment, her once beautiful face now filled with shock and confusion.

　She never expected that the mysterious person in front of her also possessed the magic of spatial teleportation.

　As for the previous changes in spatial parameters, she only thought it was a special effect of some kind of Honkai energy weapon. Now it seems that the strength of this opponent far exceeds her imagination.

　However, while she was still in shock, Moros's magic had already quietly descended upon the Honkai Queen.

　[Instant Cast - Curse of Weakness]!

　With his powerful magical abilities as a demigod-level necromancer, this level one battle spell had an amazing effect on Sirin.

　The moment the spell took effect, Sirin felt an irresistible force surge towards her like a tidal wave, binding all her strength and causing it to vanish without a trace in an instant.

　Fortunately, with the last bit of Honkai energy she had left, she managed to break free from the spatial rift where she was hiding, thus avoiding being completely and severely injured by the magic.

　"My power?!"

　Celine's eyes widened as she glared fiercely at Moros.

　Her eyes held not only anger and confusion, but also a hint of barely concealed fear.

　She didn't want to recall those powerless days when she was like a puppet, manipulated by the researchers of Destiny.

　She absolutely will not allow this to happen again.

　"You...what on earth did you do?!"

Chapter 299 Reaching Cooperation

　Moros's purpose in coming here was ultimately to seek cooperation, not to annihilate the Herrscher before him.

　After letting Sirin truly experience his power, he then lifted the battle spell that had been enveloping the newly promoted Herrscher.

　"Calm down now?"

　Gazing at the beautiful yet innocent young girl before him, Moros silently gave a thumbs-up to the aesthetic sense of the Cocoon of the End.

　At this moment, Xilin was wearing a pure white short dress, covered with a dark purple long dress. The inside of the skirt was delicately outlined with mysterious gold patterns, and the waist was adorned with purple bud-shaped ornaments.

　The girl's slender arms and supple thighs were gently wrapped in purple bandages, and a purple polygonal anklet was worn as decoration on her right ankle.

　Her naturally curly purple hair was adorned with a feather-shaped headdress on one side, adding to her elegance and mystery.

　As her power returned, Sirin's fear gradually dissipated.

　Although she remained highly vigilant towards the mysterious figure before her, her previous hostility had noticeably diminished.

　After all, the exchange just now made her realize that she was no match for this person.

　However, as the Queen of Honkai, Sirin's pride and stubbornness never allowed her to back down in words.

　She slightly raised her chin, a slight upturn of her lips forming a contemptuous curve.

　"Hypocritical humans~"

　"It seems he has calmed down."

　Noticing that the Herrscher lady not far away had stopped shouting and killing him, Moros waved his hand and used magical energy to condense a pair of exquisite high-backed chairs.

　"Please have a seat, Miss Sirin."

　With a gentle gesture, the necromancer invited the Herrscher girl before him to take a seat.

　"Human, it seems you still have some manners☆"

　At Moros's invitation, Sirin slowly walked toward the pair of high-backed chairs formed from magical energy.

　Her steps appeared relaxed, but her eyes still gleamed with vigilance and wariness towards the unknown.

　After taking her seat, Sirin's gaze immediately locked onto Moros, as if waiting for his next move and words.

　Seeing this, Moros smiled and began his statement.

　“Miss Sirin, as you can see, my purpose in coming here is not to be your enemy.”

　His tone was sincere and earnest, as if every word came from the heart.

　At least under Celine's scrutiny, she could not detect any trace of hypocrisy on Morros's face.

　"In fact, I hope we can work together to face the dual threats from destiny and anti-entropy."

　Upon hearing this, Xilin raised an eyebrow slightly.

　Clearly, she was skeptical of Morlos's proposal.

　But as a newly minted Herald, she was also aware that her current situation was not optimistic.

　Therefore, this Honkai Queen, who was acting in accordance with divine will, decided to temporarily set aside her doubts and seriously consider the proposal of the person in front of her.

　Humans, I don't trust you.

　With her eyes fixed on Moros, Sirin was ready to use her [Space] power to escape this dangerous place at any moment.

　The necromancer showed no displeasure at Sirin's answer.

　He responded calmly.

　"Of course, we've only just met, so talking about trust now would be too hasty."

　Moros already had a plan in mind.

　He didn't need Celine's trust; he only needed her to complete that crucial task—to land on the moon and obtain the power sealed there.

　If she can successfully complete this step, my mission completion rate will undoubtedly reach a new level.

　With this in mind, Moros continued.

　“Miss Sirin, I do have my own purpose, but please believe me, at this moment, I have no hostility towards you.”

　"Humph!"

　Xilin snorted coldly and did not refute.

　She recalled her experience of having her powers stripped by Moros, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

　However, at the same time, the crumbling queen also realized that Moros was not lying.

　If he harbored ill intentions, she simply couldn't sit here and talk to him right now.

　Thinking of this, Sirin's attitude softened slightly.

　She decided to accept Moros's proposal for the time being and see what this mysterious human was up to.

　Moros was delighted to have noticed the subtle change in the girl's attitude, but he did not show it on his face.

　He knew that the following conversation would be even more crucial.

　“Miss Sirin, I can sense that your power is far from reaching its peak.”

　Upon hearing this, Xilin was slightly taken aback, then she snorted and retorted.
