Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The World Serpent has existed for far too long.

　In this organization that has existed since time immemorial, only Kevin, this hero, is able to unite and maintain the shared beliefs of the entire organization.

　Once Kevin ceases to exist, without any external intervention, this organization, whose existence is almost equivalent to human civilization, will collapse and disintegrate on its own.

　Based on the strategic consideration of "not putting all your eggs in one basket," Moros chose a two-pronged approach, implementing both methods simultaneously.

　Therefore, at the crucial moment when he had the opportunity to completely annihilate Kevin, he did not hesitate to take action.

　Kevin's flying speed goes without saying, but Moros, with his precise and swift teleportation spells, is equally impressive.

　In this fierce chase, the two men's battlefield soon crossed Austria's borders and penetrated deep into the heart of the Apennine Peninsula.

　However, just as Kevin had previously been unable to inflict any substantial damage on the necromancer, Moros also confirmed one thing during this pursuit.

　Before he could significantly weaken Kevin's Honkai energy reserves, his attacks on this [Salvator] could only be superficial.

　But unlike Kevin, Moros possessed a large reserve of [Gift of the Magic Well] potions, which gave him a significant advantage in this war of attrition.

　Therefore, even though the dawn of victory had not yet appeared, Moros remained steadfast in his previous battle plan, firmly believing that ultimate victory would belong to him.

　In fact, not only Moros firmly believed this, but even Kevin, who was being closely pursued by him, held the same idea.

　As a fusion warrior, Kevin's eyesight is absolutely outstanding.

　He could clearly perceive every subtle movement of Moros, the opponent who possessed mysterious supernatural powers that did not belong to the Honkai energy system. Every so often, Moros would take out a test tube and drink the liquid inside.

　Although Kevin knew nothing about the specific composition of the liquid in the test tube, he used his extensive combat experience and keen insight to roughly deduce the function of these potions—they were likely a means for Moros to replenish the energy consumed in battle.

　My family knows their own affairs.

　Kevin was aware of his Honkai energy reserves.

　Admittedly, the Honkai energy stored within him is still enormous, but against Moros, who can constantly replenish his energy, this reserve seems only capable of prolonging the battle, rather than changing the final outcome.

　Despite the unfavorable situation, Kevin did not show the slightest panic or despair.

　On the contrary, his eyes burned with a firm light, a steadfast belief and a desire for victory.

　Having experienced countless moments of despair in the previous civilization, Kevin's combat wisdom has long been proven and is beyond doubt.

　While dealing with the necromancer's storm-like magical attacks, he was also quickly devising a strategy in his mind, thinking about how to get rid of this powerful enemy's pursuit, and even envisioning a counterattack to kill him in one fell swoop.

　After careful consideration, a preliminary plan gradually took shape in Kevin's mind.

　With the help of Parvati's ice and snow power, Kevin released a large amount of Honkai energy, which changed the climate of the Apennine Peninsula.

　The icy storms that used to only appear in polar regions swept across this land, providing cover for its communications.

　Under the cover of the polar storm, Kevin quickly made contact with the Grey Serpent.

　Knowing the urgency of the situation, the [Savior] issued the order without uttering a single unnecessary word.

　He demanded that Gray Serpent immediately activate all mech units at the Sahara base, deploy them all, and join him in besieging Moros to ensure victory in this battle.

　Even if the encirclement fails, he still has a chance to successfully evacuate by relying on the mech units to cover his retreat.

Chapter 353 The Will of Heroes

　Moros is currently completely unaware of Kevin's plans.

　He knew that the secret base of the World Serpent was hidden deep in the Sahara Desert, but the fact that it held the opportunity Kevin saw as a way to escape his pursuit was something he had never imagined.

　Although the necromancer could only rely on teleportation spells to maintain his invincibility against Kevin, he would need to go through a long war of attrition before he could see the light of victory.

　But this is entirely due to the overwhelming power possessed by this [Salvation] Inscription.

　This is a powerful being at the demigod level!

　Even in the vast world of Ashan, it is enough to be called a hegemon.

　Even the nine major factions would show the most basic respect when facing a demigod-level being.

　As for the other members of the World Serpent, they were clearly no match for a demigod-level necromancer.

　The current World Serpent is not the same as its heyday in the original world when it had [Feathered Rabbit] Mistelin Shaniat as a member.

　Having lost this humanoid Stigmata comparable to Ying Jie, the only thing in the World Serpent besides Kevin that could make Moros feel somewhat wary was the Third Divine Key.

　Key of Judgment: Seven Thunders of Purification!

　However, thanks to the protection of the legendary spell [Legion's Protection], Moros did not feel any real fear of this powerful divine key.

　In this situation, Kevin successfully lured the necromancer to the ambush site of the World Serpent mech force in the Sahara Desert.

　This is not difficult to understand.

　Moros did indeed keenly notice the unusual nature of Kevin's movements.

　But he also knew that once he lost contact with this demigod who possessed the inscription of "Salvation," Kevin would once again disappear into the darkness, his immense power enough to make him vanish easily from any corner of the world.

　At that time, tracking him down again will undoubtedly be a time-consuming and laborious task.

　For Moros, even the risk of being ambushed was far wiser than aimlessly searching for a demigod across the entire planet, or even the entire galaxy.

　The essence of a Fusion Warrior is a humanoid Honkai Beast.

　Compared to the frail human body, Honkai Beasts can easily adapt to the extreme and harsh environment of outer space.

　Especially for Heroic-class Fusion Warriors like Kevin.

　Their ability to survive in the universe is astonishing; for them, surviving in the endless starry sky is not difficult.

　Moros's judgment proved correct.

　With the enhancement of the super magic skill [Instant Spell Casting], his legendary spell [Doomsday Judgment] easily wiped out the World Serpent's ambush forces.

　Even the World Serpent executives, on whom Kevin placed high hopes and who possessed the Third Divine Key, appeared so fragile under the power of [Doomsday Judgment], like ants.

　The only thing he could do was, at the very end of his life, overload the Seven Thunders of Purification to fire a single, incredibly powerful bullet.

　Unfortunately, protected by the Legion's Protection, the bullet failed to actually hit Moros.

　It should be noted that even Fu Hua's prized ultimate move, the Void Sword God which primarily attacks the mind, could not break through the defense of [Legion's Protection].

　Faced with this traditional attack that combines physics and Honkai energy, [Legion's Protection] appears to handle it with ease.

　Of course, Moros had to admit that the power of this attack was actually quite considerable.

　The moment the bullet, like a ball of thunder, struck, nearly 20,000 units of the undead army instantly collapsed.

　The moment the brilliance of the Seven Thunders of Purification was blocked by the Legion's Protection, Kevin knew he had failed.

　So he stopped fleeing and decided to fight a final, desperate battle.

　"Su, are you watching? Do what you did back then!"

　Whispering to the empty battlefield, Kevin's eyes gleamed with determination.

　"Come on, this time, I will put my life into the gun."

　Immediately afterwards, this pioneer of civilization wielded a greatsword forged from ice and charged toward Moros without hesitation.

　He needed to stall this traitor who had betrayed humanity, giving Su enough time to completely sink this area into the Sea of ​​Quanta.

　Kevin himself knew that he and Moros's strength had already surpassed the limits of mortals, and the Sea of ​​Quanta was no longer a forbidden zone for them.

　But he understood even more clearly that with Su's assistance, and by using the Second Divine Key - Eternity...

　The power of the Key to the Thousand Realms, sealing them in the Sea of ​​Quanta for over a hundred years, is not a fantasy.

　Even if it meant he would pay with his life, Kevin was not afraid.

　Because in his heart, one belief remained steadfast—

　"No matter the cost, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai!"

　Kevin's voice echoed through the Sahara Desert sky, his unwavering resolve making even the necromancer believe he still had some trump cards up his sleeve.

　So, without hesitation, Moros took out another [Gift of the Magic Well] potion and drank it all in one gulp.

　He then unleashed the legendary spell [Avatar of Death], summoning a level 35 Avatar of Death to stand in front of him, preparing to face Kevin's unknown trump card.

　In a corner of the quantum sea, a gray-haired youth sat quietly before an unfinished game of Go.

　He wore a dark green short-sleeved shirt, with a gray half-sleeved shirt on his left upper body, a black glove on his right hand, a round pendant hanging from his belt, and black trousers and white boots.

　If you look closely, you'll notice that Tianhui Zhiming, who usually keeps his eyes closed, has opened them at this moment.

　Those crimson irises and green pupils reflected the battle in the Sahara Desert that determined the rise and fall of civilizations.

　"Kevin, I respect your choice."

　He took a deep breath, as if to inhale all his determination and courage.

　"For the future of humanity, for the continuation of civilization."

　Su murmured softly, her voice filled with determination.

　According to his will, the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, which had been sealed above the Thames in London, was activated again after a thousand years.

　An invisible force quietly spread out, like a giant net, preparing to drag the entire battlefield where Kevin and Morros were located into the depths of the Quantum Sea.

　A thousand years ago, Sue personally sealed away his close friend Kevin, because he judged that Kevin was no longer suitable to lead human civilization forward.

　Today, Sue has once again made a difficult choice. His decision, while protecting the flame of hope for the survival of human civilization, also means the end of his dearest friend's life.

　Yes, Sue saw it very clearly: Kevin was no match for Morros.

　When the entire battlefield is mercilessly dragged into the abyss of the quantum sea, Kevin, isolated and helpless, trapped in a desperate situation, will inevitably perish.

　But in order to preserve the flame of hope for the continuation of civilization, he had to do it!

　Hector knew that the kingdom would eventually fall.

　Achilles was also aware of the prophesied death.

　But the two of them still went to the battlefield without hesitation. In this story that was destined to be a tragedy from the beginning, no one hesitated or wavered.

　They are like that, and so are we.

Chapter 354 Sinking into the Sea of ​​Quanta

　Under the power of the Second Divine Key, the sky of the Sahara began to distort violently, and the desert ground seemed to be tightly gripped by a huge, invisible hand, slowly sinking.

　The space of the entire battlefield was torn apart, revealing a deep and dark quantum sea, which was like an endless dark vortex about to devour everything.

　Kevin and Morros, two powerful individuals standing at the pinnacle of individual strength on this planet, both keenly sensed this strange power and smelled the dangerous aura permeating the air.

　However, both Kevin, who bears the inscription of "Salvation," and Moros, the necromancer, are now deeply embroiled in the battle and unable to extricate themselves.

　At their level of strength, battles between them can be either long and protracted tug-of-wars, or they can be decided in an instant.

　Even the slightest mistake can be the key to life or death.

　Kevin, who personally pleaded with Sue to seal his "Salvation" inscription, deeply understands what the current anomaly truly means.

　Therefore, when space began to distort, the battle-hardened fusion warrior unleashed an unprecedentedly fierce offensive without hesitation, locking the necromancer firmly in the battle and not allowing him the slightest chance to escape.

　Faced with Kevin's fierce and frenzied offensive, Moros dared not be careless in the slightest.

　Although he had gained considerable close-combat ability through four leaps in his life level, this level of close-combat ability was insignificant in front of Kevin, who specialized in this art.

　Once this "Savior" successfully gets close, he really can't guarantee that the protective spells he casts will be foolproof.

　Given the urgency of the situation, neither Morros nor Kevin could afford to be distracted by Sue's actions.

　Moros was temporarily unable to participate, while Kevin, driven by firm belief and determination, had no such intention.

　As the two demigod-level superhumans fought to the death, the dark vortex connected to the Sea of ​​Quanta began to expand gradually, frantically devouring the surrounding sand sea.

　The wreckage of the World Serpent mech, along with the sand and rocks in the desert, vanished without a trace under the devouring power.

　The massive loss of materials created a terrifying, swirling pattern on the battlefield, resembling...

　The entire world was teetering on the brink of collapse within this pitch-black vortex.

　This is……

　Caught off guard by this scene, Moros was suddenly jolted.

　As a necromancer proficient in spatial science, he had already noticed the drastic changes in the spatial environment.

　Combining his memories as a captain in his previous life, the necromancer instantly guessed Kevin's ultimate trump card.

　What an ignorant fool!

　Moros sneered inwardly.
