Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Even if it meant paying with his life, he would not hesitate.

　Unfortunately, Walter's meticulous plan ultimately came to naught.

　Just as Raiden Ryoma was checking every piece of data fed back by the Alahato sensor system, a figure wearing a brown cloak emerged from the void behind this huge, general-purpose humanoid weapon.

　"Is this Walter's trump card...?"

　Gazing at Alahato not far away, Moros's lips curled into a mocking smile.

　"farewell."

　With a soft sigh, the necromancer suddenly swung his [Netherworld Staff], releasing a massive ball of magical energy.

　[Instant Spell - Thunder Bomb (Implosion)]!

　Allahato's massive size endows it with astonishing strength and considerable defensive capabilities, but it also makes it slow to react when faced with sudden attacks.

　This is also why Welt deliberately avoided having Arahataur engage in close combat with the Second Herrscher in his plan.

　The Anti-Entropy Alliance leader, who created this general-purpose humanoid weapon, knew that when facing a powerful enemy like the Second Herrscher, Arahatto would lose its long-range firepower advantage and become as vulnerable as a target once it got close.

　Therefore, even though Thunder Dragon Horse sensed the threat through the sensor system the moment Moros appeared, he was powerless to reverse the situation and could not control the massive, general-purpose humanoid weapon in time to evade the necromancer's fatal blow.

　As a demigod-level necromancer, Moros's magical power is enough to make people tremble.

　Even though Arahato managed to erect a Honkai energy shield in time, this general-purpose humanoid weapon was still so fragile in the face of the [Thunder Bomb] personally cast by the necromancer.

　The moment the [Thunder Bomb] made contact with the shield, ripples immediately spread across the surface of Arahato's Honkai energy shield.

　This is how the Honkai Energy Shield performs in its full-scale resistance to the attack.

　Even with Alahato's Honkai energy reactor operating at overload, continuously injecting Honkai energy into the Honkai energy shield generator, the Honkai energy shield equipped on this general-purpose humanoid weapon could not withstand the terrifying magical energy impact.

　In just a moment, Alahato's originally shimmering blue Honkai energy shield dimmed and became almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

　Immediately afterwards, due to the excessive Honkai energy output, the shield generator became overloaded and burned out.

　Without the protection of the Honkai energy shield, the [Thunder Bomb] crashed into Alahato's armor plates without any hindrance.

　"boom!"

　The instant the magical energy made contact with the armor, the explosive flames engulfed the giant machine.

　General-purpose humanoid weapon.

　Alahatona's armor, enhanced with Honkai energy, proved utterly powerless against the explosion of the [Thunder Bomb].

　In the time it takes to breathe, the sturdy armor melts away completely.

　Leader, I have disappointed you...

　In the final moments of his life, Raiden Ryoma, who controlled Alahato, made a decision.

　He removed the restriction systems from all the [Silver Bullets] mounted on Alahato, allowing these powerful Honkai energy fission bombs to unleash their destructive power in the vortex of explosions.

　Weapons of mass destruction like the Silver Bullet naturally have strict and stringent safety restrictions.

　If the restriction system is not lifted, even if the [Silver Bullet] is engulfed by an explosion, it will not undergo a secondary detonation.

　His goal is to drag the necromancer who destroyed Alahato and ruined Walter's plans into an abyss of eternal damnation.

　Following Raiden Ryoma's command, all security restrictions were lifted one by one.

　The next moment, an explosion even more terrifying than the [Thunder Bomb] shook the entire area.

　The explosion of more than a dozen silver bullets instantly engulfed the space in terrifying light and heat.

　The explosion was so powerful that the flashes of light on the far side of the moon could be faintly observed from Earth, 38.4 kilometers away.

　At this moment, the entire Earth-Moon system seemed to tremble.

　However, Thunder Dragon Horse was ultimately just a mortal who did not possess any extraordinary powers.

　His assessment of Morros's strength was significantly flawed.

　When the president of the Anti-Entropy ME company deactivated the security restrictions on the [Silver Bullet], Moros keenly sensed the signs of danger.

　So he decisively cast the level four adventure spell [Dimensional Journey], instantly moving away from his original location.

　It was precisely because of this that the necromancer was able to witness firsthand the shocking spectacle of the dozen or so [silver bullets] mounted on Alahato exploding.

　The fireball that shot into the sky, accompanied by light and heat that devoured everything, gave Moros a completely new understanding of the pinnacle of human technology.

　He realized that if such an explosion were to occur on Earth, its power would be enough to completely destroy an international metropolis with tens of millions of inhabitants.

　And this was on the moon, where the absence of air prevented the formation of shock waves, thus reducing the destructive power of the explosion.

　He's quite a character...

　Moros silently expressed his admiration for Alahato's driver.

　Then, he waved the [Netherworld Staff] once more and quietly left the scorched earth ravaged by more than a dozen Honkai energy fission bombs.

　The necromancer had not forgotten that another, even more intense battle was still ongoing.

　His true goal is the duel between Sirin and the First Herrscher.

Chapter 313 Walter's End

　The explosion of more than a dozen silver bullets was so shocking.

　This not only gave Moros a deeper understanding of humanity's extraordinary talent in the power of destruction, but also made Sirin and Walter, who were engaged in fierce battle, aware of the tremendous changes taking place in the distance.

　The rising fireball was so enormous that anyone with eyes could see it.

　"Hmph, is this human wisdom?"

　With a cold snort, Sirin looked with a hint of worry at the place where the fireball was rising in the distance.

　She knew that Moros had gone to deal with the unknown threat that had landed on the moon with Walter, as well as that massive humanoid weapon.

　The violent explosion that occurred there naturally caused concern for the Honkai Queen.

　Dragon horse!

　As the Herrscher of Reason, the leader of Anti-Entropy, and the architect of this battle plan, Welt clearly understood the significance behind the distant explosion.

　That was the last signal from his capable subordinate, a message conveyed to him with his life.

　However, it was precisely because Walter understood the gravity behind the explosion that he became even more determined.

　In this desolate land on the far side of the moon, he vowed to bury the Second Herrscher—Sirin.

　There was no way out for him.

　With the destruction of Allahato, the path back to Earth has been cut off.

　The carefully crafted plan has now vanished.

　For Welt now, he only has one choice left—to exchange his own life for the life of the Second Herrscher.

　Therefore, after keenly noticing Sirin's brief distraction due to her worry for Morros, Walter unhesitatingly revealed his other trump card.

　"The Ninth Divine Key - Star of Eden - Zero Rated Power - Simulated Black Hole!"

　With a low shout from Walter, a profound and powerful force was instantly released.

　Unlike his counterpart in the original world, who was struggling against the Second Herrscher on the moon, in this world, Moros's actions have completely altered many predetermined trajectories.

　The same applies to Walter.

　Having not experienced the previous battle on the snowfield, his physical condition is currently at its peak.

　The recuperation in the ward at the Destiny headquarters was merely for better...

　It's simply about adjusting one's physical condition to maximize one's combat effectiveness.

　This is completely different from the situation in the original world, where the world was on the verge of collapse due to battle and had to rely on the Destiny Medical System to maintain life.

　In contrast, Sirin had not experienced the terrifying ordeal of facing a simulated black hole during the Snowfield Battle.

　Therefore, she had almost no experience in dealing with such attacks.

　In this situation, it is only natural that the unsuspecting pufferfish was firmly captured by the gravitational pull of the simulated black hole and could not escape in a short time.

　With the blessing of God, Sirin's power indeed underwent a qualitative leap.

　In the necromancer's perception, she had leaped from the initial stage of the legendary realm to the legendary limit, just one step away from the advanced legendary rank.

　Even so, under the zero rated power of the Divine Key, the purple-haired Herrscher still faced mortal danger.

　After all, Welt truly risked his life to bury the Second Herrscher.

　He disregarded whether his body could withstand it and did his best to inject the imaginary energy drawn from the imaginary space by the Herrscher of Reason's core into the Star of Eden.

　The leader of the anti-entropy alliance knew that this was his only chance and his last hope.

　Once the mysterious man calling himself Moros joins the battle, he will no longer have any chance of winning.

　Just a little bit more! Hang in there! My body!

　Enduring the excruciating pain caused by the massive Honkai energy eroding his body, Welt gritted his teeth and forced his body, which could collapse at any moment, to continue maintaining the pseudo-black hole's existence.

　His gaze was fixed on the purple-haired girl whose deep, purplish-black surface, which was being pulled closer to the simulated black hole, his heart filled with determination and resolve.

　The leader of the anti-entropy alliance knew that he was heading towards a doomed end.

　Even if the pseudo-black hole devoured the Second Herrscher, the girl who appeared earlier, somewhere between a Herrscher and a Honkai Beast, could still kill him when he was exhausted.

　But Walter's resolve remained unwavering; he was willing to risk his life to end this catastrophe for world peace and the future of humanity.

　Tesla... Einstein... I'm sorry... I can't go back...

　With the images of the red-haired twin-tailed scientist and the blue-haired short-haired scientist flashing through his mind, Welt increased the Honkai energy injection into Eden Star once again.

　Even if it would double his suffering, even if it might take his life immediately after the attack, he did not back down.

　because……

　But I don't regret it... I'm proud... that I could fight to protect this world even at the very last moment...

　Celine struggled under the gravitational pull of the simulated black hole, her eyes filled with terror and resentment.

　She never imagined that she, who possessed the power bestowed by the "gods," would suffer such a devastating blow on this battlefield where she seemed to have an absolute advantage.

　Just as she was in despair, a powerful surge of magical energy suddenly swept in from afar, shattering the balance of the battlefield.

　Under the impact of the dazzling bolts of lightning formed by this energy, Walter, who was already at his limit, could no longer support his body.

　His body jolted violently, and then he was sent flying like a meteor, his bright red blood drawing a tragic arc in the air.

　The First Herrscher, who stood on the side of humanity, rolled on the barren lunar soil, each impact stirring up a cloud of dust.

　After several rolls, he was finally stopped by a huge lunar rock and fell helplessly onto the cold lunar surface.

　At the same time, with Walter's fall, the pseudo-black hole that he had been maintaining lost its support and began to shrink and collapse rapidly.

　The originally deep purplish-black light gradually dissipated and eventually turned into nothingness.

　"Cirin, are you alright?"

　After severely injuring Welt with [Thunderbolt], Moros quickly flew to the side of the purple-haired Herrscher, his eyes filled with concern.

　“Moros…”

　After struggling on the brink of death and regaining her life, Sirin, the usually aloof pufferfish lady, had her defenses crumble the moment she saw the necromancer.

　She abandoned all restraint and, like a swallow returning to its nest, rushed into Moros's arms, tightly embracing the young man who had saved her from danger for the second time.

　"never mind……"

　Moros offered a soft word of comfort.

　His fingers gently brushed against Celine's smooth, long purple hair, conveying warmth and strength.

　After a moment, Xilin finally recovered from her excitement and emotion, and suddenly realized how out of line she had been.

　She suddenly broke free from his embrace, a blush rising to her cheeks.

　"I...you..."

　The extremely shy Miss Pufferfish revealed her helplessness and panic in her golden eyes.

　"Bella, let's go execute that traitor!"

　She stamped her foot, summoned her companion Honkai Beast, and shyly fled from Moros's sight.
