Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　As the spell took effect, Moros's figure vanished from the dragon's head, the embodiment of death.

　Yes, that's why he was able to remain calm and composed, praising Cecilia and Siegfried's excellent teamwork even under the threat of the Skyfire being unleashed.

　Unlike the unavoidable Taixu Sword God, whether it's the zero rated power of the Heavenly Fire Judgment—Heavenly Fire Unsheathed—or the Black Abyss White Flower...

　Neither of the first rated power units—Holy Lance Bloom—has the characteristic of locking onto a target and preventing its escape.

　For Moros, who was proficient in spatial teleportation, he naturally wouldn't choose to withstand such an attack head-on.

　Although Cecilia and Siegfried's strength was indeed only at the legendary level, which seemed insignificant in front of the demigod-level necromancer, the Heavenly Fire Judgment and the Black Abyss White Flower they possessed were genuine divine keys.

　If these two Divine Keys were placed in a crystal wall system called Toril, they would undoubtedly be considered divine artifacts.

　Even if it were used to kill gods, there would still be a chance.

　Upon noticing Morros's disappearance, Siegfried and Cecilia's eyes instantly turned to astonishment and blankness.

　They never expected that the necromancer would possess the abilities of the Second Herrscher.

　However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

　With Siegfried's abilities, he cannot control the Judgment of Heaven's Fire at will like his bloodline's source—Kevin Kaslana.

　Therefore, he could only transform the resentment surging in his heart into power, unleashing the full force of the unsheathed Heavenly Fire onto the enormous and ferocious dragon body of the Death Incarnation.

　"boom!"

　Amidst a deafening roar, flames shot skyward in an instant, and the intense heat swept across the entire airspace like a volcanic eruption.

　The crimson flames transformed into a giant red lotus, blooming brilliantly high in the sky and dyeing the sky above the Ligurian Sea a fiery red.

　Not only on this battlefield, but people throughout the entire western Mediterranean region could witness this terrifying scene.

　Even the Anti-Entropy fleet, which was speeding towards this sea area, had to temporarily halt its advance.

　They are going to support Destiny, but that doesn't mean they're going to throw their lives away.

　Regardless of whether this devastating attack comes from their own side or the enemy's, this is not a battle they can intervene in.

　If they insist on getting involved in a battle of this level, then death is inevitable.

　Getting back to the main point, under the fierce attack of the zero rated power of the Heavenly Fire Judgment—Heavenly Fire Unleashed—the incarnation of death suffered extremely serious injuries.

　A full 20,000 points of health were instantly evaporated.

　If the Death Avatar weren't entirely composed of magical energy, such injuries would have been enough to send it plummeting from the sky into the sea.

　For a magical energy creature like the Death Avatar, as long as there is magical energy, there is no such thing as a fatal weakness.

　Even with only a tiny amount of health remaining compared to its peak, the Death Avatar can still soar through the skies over the Ligurian Sea.

　Moreover, even after enduring such a fierce attack, the dragon of death was still able to open its jaws and unleash another deadly breath on Siegfried, who was rapidly falling.

　Indeed, at the same time that the Incarnation of Death was severely injured by the unleashed Heavenly Fire, Siegfried was also severely injured in the flames of the fully unleashed Judgment of Heavenly Fire, and was almost roasted half-cooked.

　This scene bears a striking resemblance to the experiences of the Kaslana family patriarchs throughout history who unleashed the power of the Heavenly Flame and the Holy Judgment.

　However, unlike his ancestors in the Kaslana family, Siegfried was not fighting alone this time.

　His wife, Cecilia, a Destiny S-rank Valkyrie who possesses the Sixth Divine Key, the Black Abyss White Flower, appeared by his side just in time, bringing him a glimmer of hope.

　"Siegfried!"

　Seeing her husband fall from the raging flames in the sky, Cecilia disregarded the potential threat of the necromancer who had disappeared from sight and used the vines generated by the Black Abyss White Flower to catch Siegfried as he fell.

　Meanwhile, more vines intertwined above Siegfried, forming a solid barrier that shielded him from the dragon's breath spewed by the incarnation of death.

　"Siegfried... how could this happen..."

　Looking at the figure before her, charred black and almost unrecognizable, the white-haired Valkyrie felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

　The lingering heat from the unleashing of the Heavenly Fire still permeates the air. Even here, far from the high-altitude battlefield, she can still feel the intense heat that can almost incinerate everything.

　Cecilia could imagine the desperate situation and struggle that Siegfried endured in that life-or-death moment.

　Faced with the critically injured Siegfried, Cecilia had only one thought in her mind—to save him.

　She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and sang softly.

　“I am the black from the abyss, I am the white descending from the clouds; born before creation, existing after annihilation; I will freely give the water of the spring of life to the thirsty.”

　To heal Siegfried's injuries, given her current condition, the only way is to unleash the power of the Divine Key, Black Abyss White Flower.

　The healing ability of the Black Abyss White Flower doesn't come without any effort.

　Depending on the severity of the injuries sustained by the person being treated, the amount of stamina and Honkai energy required for the holder of the Black Abyss White Flower varies.

　Siegfried, who had unleashed his Heavenly Flame, was already incredibly lucky to be alive.

　Cecilia, wanting to rescue him who was already halfway into the underworld, had already had all her strength drained by the Black Abyss White Flower.

　Be mentally prepared for the amount.

　"Key of the Gods - Black Abyss White Flower, Zero Rated Power - "

　"Holy Lance - Welwitschia mirabilis ( )!"

　As Cecilia called out, the Black Abyss White Flower burst forth with dazzling light.

　A powerful healing force quickly enveloped Siegfried's body, beginning to repair his shocking wounds.

　Admittedly, the power of Black Abyss White Flower's zero rated power—Holy Lance Welwitschia—was enough to pull Siegfried back from the brink of death.

　But all of this can only proceed smoothly if there is one prerequisite – no human or force interfering.

　Obviously, Moros wouldn't just stand by and watch Cecilia successfully rescue Siegfried.

　Using teleportation, the necromancer cleverly avoided the combined attack of Siegfried and Cecilia, seizing the opportune moment when the white-haired Valkyrie was preoccupied and began to cast new battle spells.

　[Instant Cast Spell: Meteor Shower]!

　[Instant Cast Spell: Thunder Bomb]!

　[Instant Spell Cast: Death Ripple]!

　……

　Faced with this sudden magical storm, a hint of despair flashed in Cecilia's eyes.

　Having had all her power drained by the Black Abyss White Flower, she was utterly unable to withstand this level of attack.

　Siegfried, who is currently receiving treatment, is unable to even protect himself.

　I'm sorry, Kiana...

Chapter 334 The Battle That Is About to End

　Watching indifferently as Siegfried and Cecilia were engulfed in the magical storm, Moros once again waved the [Netherworld Staff] that emitted a fluorescent green glow.

　As a faint magical fluctuation quietly spread, the three Divine Keys were lifted up by an invisible force field and presented before him.

　The white knight's lance with a black handle, composed of the pure white knight's lance on the outside and the black lance on the inside, is the sixth divine key, the key of creation—Black Abyss White Flower.

　The gun features a black and white striped body, a gilded barrel, and a crimson Herrscher core embedded in the safety pin. It is the Seventh Divine Key, the Key of Destruction—Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

　When used, it is an exquisite hair ornament with red feathers floating around it and inlaid with several tiny gems. It is the eighth divine key, the key of consciousness - Feather Crossing Dust.

　Grasping the three Divine Keys one by one, the necromancer sensed a faint repulsion but did not force it. Instead, he directly stored them in his storage ring.

　This wasn't the first time he'd undertaken a hero template advancement mission, so he was well aware that these divine keys couldn't be taken out of this world.

　Therefore, he values ​​the knowledge contained within it more.

　Moros had little attachment to the three Divine Keys themselves.

　As for the Honkai energy erosion from the Divine Key, Moros simply ignored it.

　After ascending to the demigod level, his life level has far surpassed that of ordinary humans.

　Even without specific Honkai energy adaptability, his physical attributes and abnormal status resistance are sufficient to resist this level of Honkai energy erosion.

　After collecting his spoils, Moros didn't linger for a moment.

　He used short-range spatial teleportation to return to the dragon's head, which resembled a ghostly dragon incarnate.

　"Roar--"

　As the necromancer's thoughts raced, the avatar of death let out a low roar.

　Then, the death dragon, which was over two hundred meters long, flapped its tattered wings, which were shrouded in black mist, and quickly flew towards the direction where the floating islands of the Destiny Headquarters had crashed.

　Moros hadn't forgotten that Sirin was still there, fiercely battling the Soul Steel Body of Archbishop Otto of Destiny.

　Faced with the cunning and calculating Otto, he truly didn't believe that Sirin could gain any advantage.

　Despite her overwhelming strength, the Honkai Queen, possessing six Herrscher cores, is undeniably powerful in terms of raw power.

　I hope I didn't arrive too late...

　With this thought in mind, Moros began to replenish the protective spells on his body.

　As a legitimate Ashan spellcaster, he knew the importance of making defensive preparations before engaging in war.

　Time moves forward.

　When Fu Hua resolutely burned her memories to unleash the awe-inspiring Taixu Sword God, Otto confidently used the distant phenomenon to distract Sirin.

　The massive, flaming sword that loomed across the sky was indeed incredibly intimidating, making it impossible for the crumbling queen to easily dismiss his words as a useless trick.

　Moros had saved her several times, so how could she possibly abandon him when he was truly in danger?

　Admittedly, the Herrscher of the Void has already torn apart the hearts of humans, but that does not mean she has lost all her emotions.

　Thanks to Alicia's sacrifice, there is a fundamental difference between the Herrschers of this era and those of the previous era.

　Although in terms of power, the Herrschers of this era are far inferior to those of the Herrschers of the previous civilization, they possess a richer and more complex inner world on an emotional level.

　Getting back to the point, Sirin's offensive became impatient due to her worry for Moros, which exposed her weaknesses.

　Seizing the opportunity, Otto, controlling his battle-grade soul steel body, used the power of the First Divine Key - Key of Revelation - Void Treasury to inflict considerable damage on her.

　However, for the Honkai Queen who possesses the [Tranquility Gem], as long as the injury does not exceed her limit, she can quickly recover with the help of the Herrscher of Death's power.

　As for those anti-entropy and destiny-based fighter jets?

　Even when distracted, Sirin could easily wipe away these ants.

　After surviving this most dangerous period, it was Otto's turn to be drawn to the strange phenomena in the distant sky.

　When the Sword God of the Void descended from the sky, the Archbishop of Destiny thought the outcome was already decided.

　After all, no one in the entire Destiny organization understood Fu Hua's power better than him.

　Having briefly regained her peak power, Fu Hua's strength is so formidable that, without exaggeration, she could single-handedly overturn the entire destiny.

　Otto understood that if even a legendary figure like the Crimson Immortal could not contend with the necromancer, then the challenge facing Cecilia, the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, would be unprecedented.

　The subsequent liberation of the Black Abyss White Flower and the Heavenly Fire Judgment further confirmed the Archbishop of Destiny's ominous premonition.

　If the Crimson Immortal had truly succeeded, why would Cecilia and Siegfried have rashly unleashed the true power of the Divine Key?

　Putting aside the Black Abyss and the White Flower, as the Archbishop who has been in charge of destiny for five hundred years, Otto is very clear about the cost of the zero rated power of the Heavenly Fire Judgment—the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

　Siegfried would obviously not risk his life unless absolutely necessary.

　However, given Otto's wisdom, he would naturally not repeat the mistakes that Celine had made.

　Even though he was filled with worry about the battle situation in the distance, Otto remained calm and used the various divine keys he had created from the Void Archives to launch an unprecedentedly fierce offensive against the Honkai Queen.

　The Archbishop of Destiny knew that after the Heavenly Fire was unleashed, the battle in the distance had essentially come to an end.

　Either Cecilia and Siegfried emerged victorious, or the mysterious man who called himself Moros had the last laugh.

　Although Otto secretly hoped that Cecilia and Siegfried would win, his reason told him that it was unrealistic.

　Therefore, he now only has two paths left.

　Alternatively, abandon the attempt to capture the Second Herrscher and immediately detach your consciousness from your Soulsteel body to avoid the impending crisis.

　Alternatively, we can act swiftly and capture the Second Herrscher as quickly as possible to obtain what we desire.

　Given Otto's unwavering devotion to Karen, there's no need for him to even consider which path he'll choose.

　He was willing to take any risk for Karen's resurrection, even if it meant sacrificing his own life; he would move forward without hesitation.

　So when Moros, riding the incarnation of death, descended upon the Tyrrhenian Sea, he saw the Archbishop of Destiny beating Sirin.

　Despite Otto's position as Archbishop of Schicksal, a purely administrative officer, five hundred years of experience have given him combat expertise far surpassing that of anyone in Schicksal except for Fu Hua.
