Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Under this unimaginable pressure, the bodies of the Moth Warriors crumbled instantly, like fragile porcelain, and their life force was extinguished in extreme pain and despair.

　Time moves forward.

　Just as the Ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Rock, descended upon this world, the Honkai energy detection system deployed on the North Island of New Zealand immediately detected the Honkai energy fluctuations that represented the coming of the Great Honkai.

　Immediately, this highly intelligent system strictly followed the preset emergency procedures and sent out the highest level of alarm signal towards Canberra.

　Given the deep bond between Morros and Velvey, it is perfectly reasonable for his territory to be equipped with a Honkai energy detection system of such high performance that it rivals that of the Firemoth.

　Upon receiving this sudden, top-level alert, Keane and Margaret, who were handling government affairs in Canberra, did not delay and immediately reported the matter to their lord through the [Communication Badge].

　Is it finally here...?

　With his mind racing, Moros issued an emergency order to Keane and Margaret to activate a full-scale contingency plan in order to deal with the impending Great Collapse.

　The Herrschers, who descended upon the world with the Great Honkai, are undoubtedly the most fearsome threat in the Great Honkai, but this does not mean that the Apostles of God who wield different powers are the only danger brought by the Great Honkai.

　Under the raging torrent of the Great Collapse, the entire planet seemed to be completely soaked in Honkai energy. This power was like a boiling furnace, constantly giving birth to all sorts of ordinary Honkai disasters, pushing the world to the brink of collapse.

　Moros had a clear and profound understanding of the bureaucratic system under his command.

　He knew all too well that these bureaucrats were obsessed with power struggles and would shirk responsibility when faced with problems, lacking both a sense of duty and the ability to take charge.

　Therefore, he never imagined that they would be able to demonstrate any outstanding ability to cope with high-level Honkai disasters.

　If these bureaucrats and politicians really had such power, how could they have been driven to a dead end by several corrupt emperors two years ago, ultimately having to seek help from him, the necromancer?

　It is well known that bureaucrats are astounded by their ability to cover things up.

　They always manage to cover up the truth by any means necessary when a crisis first appears, as if they would never easily reveal anything to the outside world or their superiors as long as there is still a sliver of room for concealment.

　Even so, Moros did not completely give up his hopes for the bureaucratic system.

　He hoped that his subordinates would make full use of the command authority he had granted them to effectively deploy the undead garrisons in various regions in order to deal with the frequent small and medium-sized Honkai disasters.

　harm.

　Of course, the self-awareness of bureaucrats alone is far from enough to accomplish something like this.

　To get them to actually take action, appropriate pressure must be applied.

　Therefore, Moros meticulously compiled a comprehensive and thorough emergency plan.

　This contingency plan is not only a comprehensive guide to response strategies, but also a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of bureaucrats, constantly urging them to maintain a high degree of vigilance and focus, and not to be negligent or complacent in the slightest.

　In Moros's vision, this plan would serve as a guiding light for the bureaucratic system and the undead garrison to cooperate in combat.

　As long as they strictly follow the guiding principles and action plans in the contingency plan, they will be able to handle small and medium-sized Honkai disasters, which are limited to Temple-level Honkai Beasts, with ease, thanks to the strength of the undead garrisons in various regions.

　Furthermore, by effectively curbing and reducing the impact of small and medium-sized Honkai disasters, the impact of rare large-scale Honkai events that may give birth to Honkai Emperors or even Emperor-level Honkai Beasts on the territory's economy and social order will be greatly weakened.

　Even if such events occur occasionally, their impact on the territory's tax revenue in the next quarter will be kept within an acceptable range, so as not to cause a disruptive impact on the entire fiscal system.

　It was precisely out of a steadfast pursuit of stable profits from his territory that Moros—the necromancer of the evil faction—spended a great deal of effort and time to design a comprehensive contingency plan.

　His goal was clear and specific: to ensure that he could continuously draw abundant resources from this territory to support the expenses of the magical path.

　Getting back to the main point, after communicating with Keane and Margaret across dimensions using magic, Moros fell into deep thought.

　He must carefully plan how to take advantage of this sweeping collapse to gain even greater benefits for himself.

　If he were to attack now, with his powerful spellcasting abilities as a demigod, defeating the Ninth Herrscher would be a piece of cake.

　However, aside from the material gains of the Herrscher of Rock's remains and core, such a victory brought very few other substantial benefits, which were far from satisfying his ever-growing appetite.

　More importantly, such direct action could very well allow human societies, which are already wary of him, to reap the benefits.

　Given that his relationship with the human civilization on this planet was one of enmity rather than friendship, this outcome was clearly something he did not want to see.

　Therefore, Moros decided to slow down and allow the Ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Rock, to launch attacks on human civilization, weakening the foundation and strength of human society and laying a solid foundation for the reshaping of the post-war world order.

Chapter 452 Battle at the Firemoth Headquarters

　Time returns to the present.

　Inside the heavily armored command center of the flagship of the Moth Chasing Fleet—the national-class airborne battleship, the Moth Chasing Council members stared intently at the enormous holographic projection screen.

　On the screen, the fierce battles that this airborne fleet was participating in were being shown in real time.

　"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

　With deafening roars, large-caliber electromagnetic railguns and Honkai energy cannons continuously unleashed fierce firepower upon the ground.

　At the same time, various types of missiles carried on each of the airships were also deployed to the battlefield without hesitation, contributing their destructive power to this battle.

　At this moment, the various weapons and equipment that humanity had once developed for the efficient killing of its own kind were used against humanity's common enemy.

　Not only the air fleet, but also the fusion warriors such as Kevin, Hen, and Kosmo, who chose to stand with Dr. May, have resolutely joined the battle.

　Although they are still inexperienced and cannot yet condense Honkai energy into a physical platform to move freely in the air, this does not prevent them from joining the ground battlefield and fighting for the survival of humanity.

　Yes, while the regular forces of the Flame Chaser and the Fusion Warriors loyal to the Flame Chaser Council were besieging the Ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Geo, the Flame Chaser's headquarters on the Mu Continent was also under heavy attack by the Honkai Beast forces under the Herrscher of Geo.

　Clearly, unlike the previous apostles of the gods who descended upon the world, this Herrscher who accompanied the Ninth Great Collapse was well-versed in the principles of all tactical transformations.

　He used himself as bait to lure the Fire Moths into attacking, thereby mobilizing their power and creating an opportunity for his Honkai Beast army, led by his Judgment-class companion Honkai Beast, to annihilate the Fire Moths in one fell swoop.

　A surprise attack on the headquarters of the Firemoth!

　The development of events perfectly aligned with the Herrscher of Rock's plan.

　The Ninth Herrscher's companion Honkai Beast, with its powerful ability to manipulate gravity, creates a field capable of absorbing light and electromagnetic waves.

　This area acted like an invisible veil, concealing the Honkai Beast Legion's movements and allowing them to silently infiltrate to a location only 30 kilometers from the headquarters of the Firemoth.

　What followed were the thrilling battle scenes that had occurred earlier.

　On the side of the Herrscher of Rock

　While under siege, this Judgment-class Honkai Beast did not hesitate to lead its massive Honkai Beast army to attack the headquarters of the Fire Moth.

　This is why the Fusion Warriors loyal to the Firemoth Council and the regular Firemoth troops on the front lines never received reinforcements until their last breath.

　In the hearts of these lawmakers, their own precious lives are undoubtedly far more important than the lives of the soldiers who are loyal to them.

　Even those relatively rare and difficult-to-mass-produce fusion warriors did not receive better treatment or attention at this critical moment concerning their own lives.

　This gives us an idea of ​​how much those easily mass-producible conventional troops truly held in their hearts.

　Getting back to the main point, under the command of that Judgment-class Honkai Beast, which is a companion Honkai Beast to the Herrscher, a terrifying Honkai Beast army is launching an unprecedented attack on the headquarters of the Firemoth.

　This Honkai Legion is led by thirty-four majestic Emperor-class Honkai Beasts, with hundreds of Honkai Emperors as its core force, and ten times that number of Temple-class Honkai Beasts, as well as many more Lower-class Honkai Beasts following behind.

　These Honkai Beasts have formed a destructive force that should not be underestimated.

　Even Kevin, one of the best fusion warriors, couldn't help but frown in the face of this situation, feeling an unprecedented sense of difficulty and challenge.

　While eliminating these Honkai Beasts was no easy task for Kevin, it was not an impossible one.

　Even without the blessing of the Seventh Divine Key, the Key of Destruction, the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, he was still able to defeat these Honkai Beasts one by one and dismantle their offensive with his unparalleled strength.

　However, even Kevin couldn't help but feel a headache when it came to stopping the Honkai Beast army's frenzied advance.

　There are just too many Honkai Beasts!

　In that surging Honkai Beast army, each high-ranking Honkai Beast was a threat that could not be ignored.

　Despite Kevin's extraordinary strength, which allows him to easily kill any Honkai Beast, he still feels overwhelmed by their sheer number and finds it difficult to eliminate them all in a short period of time.

　Moreover, although he had many equally powerful fusion warrior comrades by his side, they had to admit that they could not stop the advance of this torrent of Honkai Beasts with their individual strength.

　Once the defense line is breached by too many Honkai Beasts, the existing security forces of the Moth of Flames headquarters will face an unprecedented test.

　Kevin wasn't underestimating their abilities, but rather he was acutely aware of the harsh realities of the situation.

　Apart from the newly formed and well-equipped airborne fleet, the rest of the defensive forces were indeed too weak in the face of such a large number of Honkai Beasts.

　The headquarters of the Firemoth is considered a safe haven during peacetime, and the primary responsibility of its garrison forces is often limited to internal human conflicts and defense.

　Therefore, the availability of heavy weapons is insufficient, especially key equipment such as heavy electromagnetic railguns needed to fight Honkai Beasts.

　They were clearly unprepared for this sudden onslaught of Honkai Beasts.

　At this critical moment, Kevin made a bold and decisive decision—to implement a decapitation strike!

　He knew that only by prioritizing the elimination of the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, which was a companion Honkai Beast of the Herrscher, could the command system of the Honkai Beast Legion be completely dismantled, thereby relieving the pressure on the headquarters of the Flame Chaser.

　Once the Judgment-class Honkai Beasts are annihilated, the other Honkai Beasts will lose unified command and control, and instead be driven by instinct to wreak havoc everywhere.

　While this may cause some chaos and damage in the surrounding areas, the threat faced by the Moth of Fire headquarters will be greatly reduced in comparison.

　Mei, I will protect you!

　With a silent chant in his heart, Kevin gripped the third divine key, the Judgment Key, the Seven Thunders of Purification, which had taken the form of a greatsword.

　There are too many of them, and I also need to conserve my strength to deal with that Judgment-class Honkai Beast that's hiding somewhere.

　Kevin glanced at the Honkai Beast swarm charging towards them, braving the long-range firepower of the floating fleet, and calmly analyzed the situation.

　"Thousand Calamities, Alicia, I'm counting on you."

　Upon hearing this, a bloodthirsty fervor flashed in Qian Jie's eyes.

　He responded in a low but firm voice.

　"I will slaughter them all!"

　Alicia, with her signature vivacity and optimism, sang lightly.

　"A cute girl's heart can do anything!"

Chapter 453 The Necromancer Reaps the Fruits of Victory

　Faced with Kevin, Qianjie, and Alicia, three top-tier fusion warriors, as well as equally formidable fusion warriors like Hen, Su, and Kosmo, and the devastating firepower of the floating fleet, the massive Honkai Beast legion under the Ninth Herrscher of the Rock encountered fierce resistance for the first time, and its advance came to an abrupt halt.

　Of course, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, who was the commander of the Honkai Beast army, would not stand idly by.

　"hold head high--!"

　It emitted a sound that shook the world.

　With a roar, the enormous whale-shaped Honkai Beast, floating gracefully in mid-air and manipulating gravity, decided to personally intervene and turn the tide of battle with its terrifying, judgment-level power.

　With the arrival of this Judgment-class Honkai Beast, the entire battlefield was instantly enveloped by a distorted gravitational field.

　Suddenly, the gravity increased dramatically, causing the Fusion Warriors, who were engaged in fierce combat with the Honkai Beast horde, to feel a sense of discomfort.

　If it were those Fusion Warriors who were slightly weaker individually and chose to pledge allegiance to the Firemoth Council, they would likely suffer heavy casualties in the face of such a gravitational attack followed by a finishing blow from Honkai Beasts.

　However, for top-tier fusion warriors like Kevin, Qianjie, and Alicia, this sudden gravitational storm, while catching them off guard, only disrupted their battle rhythm for a moment.

　With their extraordinary strength, superb combat skills, and keen insight into the battle situation, they quickly adjusted their state, regained their rhythm, and stabilized their position.

　However, the threat that Kevin and his team could easily handle was a different story for that airborne fleet that was firing at full power.

　Because too much energy was allocated to firepower and defense systems, some slow-reacting warships were unable to cope in time when the planet's gravity suddenly changed, and were pulled toward the ground by the powerful gravity.

　Although these warships were designed with sufficient redundancy to deal with various emergencies, in this battle where every second counts, they can only be helplessly reduced to fixed ground gun emplacements, unable to provide effective air support for the battle.

　The only thing Kevin and his team could be thankful for was that the Mu Continent airship, which Dr. Mei was on, successfully withstood the pull of the gravitational field thanks to its powerful propulsion system and excellent performance. It only dropped a few hundred meters in altitude and did not fall to the ground.

　When the Herrscher of Rock's companion Honkai Beast suddenly appeared on the battlefield, Moros, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, had already made up his mind—Kevin and his team were about to win this battle.

　Compared to the invincible team of future heroes from the former civilization, including Kevin, Qianjie, Alicia, Su, Sakura, Hen, and Kosmo, this Judgment-class Honkai Beast seemed so insignificant, as harmless as a puppy or kitten.

　Admittedly, Kevin and his companions were still quite inexperienced at this time and far from reaching their peak combat power. But even so, they were by no means someone that a mere Judgment-level Honkai Beast could possibly mess with.

　As for why Moros, the necromancer who had decided to wait and see and intended to weaken the power of human civilization through the war between the Herrscher of Rock and the Moth of Fire, would appear here, there was actually not much of a surprise.

　The Herrscher of Geo's feat of besieging the headquarters of the Firemoth with her Honkai Beast army was undoubtedly a major event that shocked the entire planet.

　With the necromancer's extensive network of vengeful spirits on this planet, how could he possibly have missed the occurrence of this battle?

　Even if we concede that the vengeful spirit intelligence network had a flaw, Congressman William in the Moth Chaser Council would still be a reliable source of information about the battle.

　Moreover, there's the [Wraith Jar] in Alicia and Eden's hands, a magical artifact that allows them to communicate directly with Moros.

　With the power of the [Wraith Jar], they can send him a distress signal immediately in any emergency.

　That's why the necromancer immediately learned of the sudden attack on the headquarters of the Firemoth.

　Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately opened a demiplane portal to the headquarters of the Firemoth and arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

　As an opponent of the Firemoth, it's perfectly normal for Moros to have the teleportation coordinates of the Firemoth's headquarters.

　Originally, he kept the teleportation coordinates of the Firemoth headquarters for strategic reasons, intending to deliver a heavy blow to the enemy with a surprise teleportation spell at a critical moment.

　However, the twists and turns of fate are often unexpected.
