Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　There, she will once again raise the flaming sword and subject the human civilization on this planet to an even more intense trial, until the will to collapse permeates every corner of the planet and is thoroughly implemented.

　Moros was not entirely unaware of the birth of the Seventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Flame.

　The horrific scene of the two cities reduced to ashes in the flames was far more shocking than any attempt to conceal it.

　Moreover, he also has Senator William as his representative in the Moth of Fire's parliament.

　Although Representative William is constrained by the combined efforts of other representatives on many issues, the Moth's intelligence network will maintain basic transparency with him on matters of life and death, such as the Great Collapse and the Herrscher, to ensure that he can obtain the necessary information.

　However, Moros, the necromancer who is well-versed in the art of darkness, is currently troubled by the chain reaction triggered by the seventh Great Collapse.

　With the arrival of the Great Collapse, small and medium-sized Collapse events sprang up like mushrooms after rain in his territory, almost reaching an explosive level.

　Within just two hours, seven urgent reports piled up on Moros's desk, each unequivocally proclaiming the appearance and rampage of a Honkai Emperor.

　This speed is undoubtedly vastly different from the similar events that have accumulated in his territory over the past six months.

　It's worth noting that in the past, there had only been eight such large-scale collapses.

　Faced with such a dire situation, the necromancer had to devote most of his energy and attention to maintaining stability and order in his territory, and could not immediately leave for Egypt to personally deal with the Law of Flame.

　By.

　There was no way around it; the territory he ruled was so vast that it exceeded ten million square kilometers.

　Every year, this land, home to hundreds of millions of living beings, brings him a wealth of resources, which are an important support for his journey on the path of magic.

　A necromancer would never give up a territory that brings such value unless absolutely necessary.

　To make up for this shortcoming, Moros decisively issued an order requiring his bureaucratic system and intelligence network to immediately enter a state of full alert and track the relevant movements of the Seventh Herrscher.

　He knew that, under the current circumstances, pursuing round-the-clock, all-around surveillance was an unrealistic fantasy.

　Therefore, Moloss's goals are more pragmatic and precise.

　What he needed was to grasp the general scope and trends of the Herrscher of Flame's actions so that he could strike at the heart of the enemy once he decided to go to Egypt, avoiding unnecessary travel.

　In his mind, time is a very precious resource and should not be wasted.

Chapter 370 Alexandria and Eden Under the Flames

　After reducing the cities of Amiria, Hausheza, and Damanhur to ashes, Himiko, now the Herrscher of Flame, cast her cold gaze toward Alexandria on the southern shore of the Mediterranean.

　In her eyes, this port city, which carries a long history and endless stories, is nothing more than a speck of dust about to be annihilated in flames.

　Just like the cities she burned to the ground before.

　"Ha, these ant nests are getting more and more annoying..."

　Himiko hovered in mid-air, a playful smile playing on her lips. Her beautiful face appeared even more eerie in the firelight.

　Her long red hair flew wildly, like a raging flame, perfectly blending with her identity as the Herrscher of Flame, releasing a chilling aura.

　This divine apostle, who wields the power to manipulate molecular motion, slowly raised his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly.

　In an instant, countless fire spirits gathered, ready to obey her commands.

　"Burn to ashes!"

　As Himiko proclaimed in a low but powerful voice, the sky was set ablaze, and flames surged like a raging river toward Alexandria, determined to engulf the ancient city in flames.

　The buildings lining the streets quickly lost their color under the licking flames, first turning bright red, and then collapsing with a roar, turning into piles of charred ruins.

　The flames were like a greedy, ravenous beast, devouring everything that could burn.

　Whether it's a sturdy stone wall or an exquisite relief, everything appears so fragile and vulnerable in the face of this force.

　As the flames approached, the crowd scattered and fled, their cries and calls for help rising and falling, but they could not stop the raging fire that surged forward like a tidal wave.

　Some people fell while running and were engulfed by the ensuing sea of ​​fire.

　Some people looked up at the sky in despair, trying to find a glimmer of hope for survival, but could only watch helplessly as they were surrounded by flames and eventually turned to ashes.

　The sea was not spared either; the flames, aided by the wind, quickly spread to the sea and set the ships anchored in the harbor ablaze.

　The sounds of ships exploding and flames roaring together created a tragic and devastating symphony of destruction.

　The firelight reflected on the sea, turning the water blood red, as if even the sea was weeping for the fate of this city.

　The entire port of Alexandria was gradually transformed into a sea of ​​fire under the ravages of flames.

　The once magnificent palaces, bustling markets, and tranquil streets have all vanished in an instant.

　Only the endless flames continued to burn fiercely, proclaiming the unparalleled majesty and power of the Herrscher of Flame.

　Standing atop the once dazzling stage, Eden wore a magnificent black and red gown, her beauty breathtaking, like a radiant sunset cascading from a dark night river.

　Her gaze pierced through the interplay of flames and smoke, landing on the stage below.

　There, the unfortunate figures lay silently, the purple lines spreading across their bodies announcing the end of one life after another.

　Faced with this scene, she painfully closed her eyes, letting tears silently slide down her face behind her tightly closed eyelids.

　At that moment, Eden felt an indescribable sorrow and realization.

　She had realized that an era had passed and would never return.

　It was this sobering realization that made Eden even more determined in his choice.

　She remained in the theater, which was about to turn to ashes, refusing to leave the stage she loved and to which she had dedicated everything.

　After all, she was never afraid of any form of death.

　For Eden, life was nothing more than a long drama.

　If the performance can end at the most appropriate time and in the most beautiful way, then it will be perfect.

　Just as Eden stood quietly in the center of the stage, welcoming the final chapter of his destiny with a detached attitude, the theater's dome reached its limit under the scorching heat of the flames.

　Those wooden beams, bearing the weight of history and memory, along with the exquisite bricks and stones they supported, were pulled apart by the planet's gravity.

　The prelude to collapse crashed down upon the location of Eden.

　Is this my end?

　He pondered to himself, Eden had no intention of escaping whatsoever.

　She gazed at it all silently, like a poet about to finish a magnificent poem, awaiting the decisive final stroke.

　However, fate seemed unwilling to let this diva's legend end so easily.

　As she was about to bid farewell to this world, a gift from her best friend—a hair ornament inlaid with a strange gemstone—suddenly burst into dazzling light.

　This hair ornament automatically activates an additional constant spell when it detects that the wearer is about to face an irreversible danger.

　As the gemstones shone brightly, a deep blue magical shield suddenly appeared around Eden, enveloping her gently yet firmly.

　A deep blue light flowed across the shield's surface, intertwining and colliding to form an unbreakable magical barrier that shut out the flames, collapsing rocks, and all other threats from the outside world.

　Those originally unstoppable forces of collapse were so powerful that they failed to even cause a ripple upon touching the shield. They were silently repelled, unable to disturb the pure land protected by the shield in the slightest.

　Eden opened his eyes and looked at the sudden protection. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by deep emotion.

　With her intelligence, she could certainly guess who was behind the magic on the hair ornament.

　"It turns out that even in the deepest darkness, there is always light silently watching over us."

　With a soft murmur, Eden stepped off the stage that had witnessed her glory and dreams.

　Guided by the faint but clear green light of the emergency exit sign, she walked steadily and calmly toward the world outside the theater.

　Although Eden had not yet undergone the transformation surgery and still retained her mortal body, her elegance and composure, emanating from within, made her stand out even more in the theater engulfed in flames.

　With Alicia and Morros as her two best friends, she is naturally not like an ordinary person who would be helpless in times of crisis.

　Previously, Eden had given up hope of escaping and chosen to accept his fate.

　Therefore, most of the measures originally prepared to protect her, except for a few automatically triggered passive defenses, fell into silence and failed to be implemented.

　Now, as Eden decides to move toward a new future, the little things given to him by Morros and Alicia begin to come into play.

　A magical shield protects her from the heat and danger of the fire, the crystal flower given to her by Alicia ensures that she is protected from excessive Honkai energy, and the scroll containing the spell "Swift Action" grants Eden superhuman agility, making her light and nimble, allowing her to move freely through the dangerous fire.

　With all this protection and assistance, Eden escaped from the burning theater with an elegance beyond human comprehension.

Chapter 371 The End of an Era and Rescue

　Gently lifting the corner of her long skirt, with a touch of caution in her steps, Eden carefully surveyed her surroundings, finally finding a relatively clean open space amidst the ruins, and slowly sat down.

　Even with the help of various magical items given to her by Alicia and Morros, the process of traversing the raging flames and thick smoke to escape the burning theater still left her nearly exhausted.

　In this moment of peace, Eden knew he needed to rest, to allow his weary body and mind to catch their breath and recover.

　She gazed into the distance at the theater that had once witnessed her glory, now a sacrificial offering in ruins, consumed by raging flames.

　Flames, like messengers of purgatory, greedily licked everything, turning sturdy steel bars into molten iron, precious wood into ashes, and molten stone and liquid concrete intertwined, flowing freely under the force of gravity.

　His long, reddish-brown hair swayed in the wind, reflecting the indescribable complex emotions in Eden's eyes.

　This graceful and elegant young woman understands that from today onwards, the era that took pride in art and was full of endless possibilities has quietly come to an end.

　Instead, a completely different new era has emerged, an era that seems to have lost the passion and respect for art of the past.

　With two close friends, Alicia and Moros, Eden certainly couldn't be unaware of the existence of the Honkai.

　However, in the past, she always regarded the Honkai as no different from ordinary natural disasters and man-made calamities, and never truly understood the horror and far-reaching impact behind it.

　But now, as she witnesses the magnificent theater that was once her artistic sanctuary collapse in flames and personally feels the destructive force that could overturn everything, her soul is shaken like never before.

　The last time she had a similar experience was the day Moros opened the demiplane gate to her.

　In that demiplane filled with magic and wonder, she witnessed for the first time a system of extraordinary power called magic.

　That power that could subvert conventions and create miracles made her question and reflect on the reality of the world like never before.

　At this moment, the power of collapse once again pushed her worldview to new boundaries.

　For the first time, Eden realized that the power of the Honkai was far more terrifying and profound than he had ever imagined.

　Just as Eden was immersed in this shock, danger was quietly approaching.

　A Knight-class Honkai Beast evolved individual—the Paladin Honkai Beast—left in Alexandria by Himiko, who had transformed into the Herrscher of Flame, to carry out a mission to eliminate survivors, discovered her whereabouts.

　A chillingly dangerous glint flashed in the eyes of the purplish-white monster. Without the slightest hesitation or delay, it charged directly towards Eden's location with overwhelming force.

　The ground trembled with its heavy footsteps, the clatter of hooves shattering the surrounding tranquility and startling Eden from his reverie.

　The lower-level Honkai Beasts created casually by the Herrscher generally have limited intelligence, and even this Paladin-class Honkai Beast, being an advanced individual of the Knight-class Honkai Beast, is no exception.

　It doesn't know how to hide its form, nor does it possess the cunning to launch a sneak attack; it simply relies on instinct and strength to launch the most direct assault on its target.

　Faced with the attack of this Paladin-class Honkai Beast, Eden's face blossomed into a poignant yet resolute smile, and he sighed inwardly.

　I never imagined my final destination would be here.

　She was fully aware of her own abilities, and even with the various magical items given to her by Morros and Alicia, she did not believe she could survive the monster's attack.

　However, at this critical juncture of life and death, Eden was not consumed by fear and despair.

　Instead, she accepted her fate with a detached and unconventional attitude.

　This composure and determination made her figure stand out brightly amidst despair.

　Time moves forward.

　Just as Eden found a patch of ruins in Alexandria to rest, on the Australian continent across the ocean, the usually indifferent expression on Moros's face suddenly turned solemn.

　Eden!

　As the creator of those enchanted trinkets gifted to Eden, he cleverly incorporated a hidden safety mechanism into several key passively triggered trinkets.

　Once the protective spell on the accessory is activated due to sensing danger, the mechanism will immediately kick in and send him an emergency alert.

　At this moment, this magical communication from afar struck like a thunderbolt through the night sky, making it impossible for Moros to remain calm.

　Ignoring the mountain of unfinished business and the rampant destruction, Moros, the demigod-level necromancer, resolutely put aside all his affairs.

　He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated, then suddenly opened them, revealing an undeniable determination in his deep eyes.

　In an instant, a surge of powerful magical energy erupted from his body, tearing apart the barriers of space and creating a long-range teleportation channel to Alexandria.

　In Moros's mind, nothing was more important than the safety of Eden.

　In comparison, the rise and fall of territories and the collection of taxes seem so insignificant and trivial at this moment.

　Using the power of teleportation magic, the necromancer instantly crossed thousands of miles of barriers, descending from the distant Australian continent to the ruins of Alexandria.
