Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　If anyone else had dared to give Moros such an answer, he would have felt it was an insult to his intelligence.

　But if it's Alicia, the necromancer thinks that such an answer might actually be true.

　When it comes to exploring the beauty of the world, especially finding beautiful girls, Alicia's intuition is always frighteningly sharp.

　Seeing that the two were amused by her answer, the pink fairy's eyes became even more mischievous, as if she was immersed in the innocent fun brought by this little prank.

　"Okay, okay, I'll stop teasing you guys."

　She chuckled softly, her voice filled with tenderness and apology, as if making a small amend for her earlier joke.

　Then, Alicia changed the subject, her tone becoming mysterious and serious.

　"Actually, I do have my little secret."

　Under the curious gazes of Moros and Eden, Alicia rubbed against Eden's beautiful fruit.

　"I didn't use any magical items or special techniques. It's just that when I close my eyes and feel with my heart, I can clearly see the moment you are about to arrive."

　Eden and Morros exchanged a glance, their eyes both shining with disbelief.

　They never imagined that Alicia

　They actually possess such amazing abilities.

　However, when he thought of Alicia's identity as the Primordial Herrscher, the necromancer couldn't help but ponder and speculate in his heart.

　Is this also one of the unique powers of the Primordial Lawholder?

　Moros had always thought that the Herrscher of Origin's power was "humanity," but now it seems that the Herrscher of Origin's abilities far exceeded his imagination.

　Noticing the subtle and complex changes in Moros's expression, Eden couldn't help but cast a questioning and concerned glance at him.

　"Moros?"

　She asked softly, trying to get more information or explanation from the necromancer.

　Moros simply smiled and shook his head.

　The smile contained both admiration for Alicia's abilities and a helpless response to Eden's question.

　He understood that since Alicia had not yet revealed her identity as the Herrscher of Origin to Eden, there must be a reason and arrangement behind it.

　As Alicia's lover, he was willing to respect Alicia's choices and not interfere too much with her decisions.

　Seemingly sensing the meaning behind Moros's attitude, Eden abandoned his intention to ask further questions, allowing the topic to naturally come to an end.

　Eden had absolute trust and understanding for Moros and Alicia. She believed that neither Alicia nor Moros would ever harm her.

　While Moros, Eden, and Alicia were enjoying a warm and happy time at Eden's residence in the new headquarters of the Firemoth, Dr. May was busy deploying a new mission in another conference room at the same headquarters.

　“Sakura, according to reliable intelligence, there have been recent transactions of Honkai energy weapons suspected to originate from the Fire Moth on the black market in Melbourne. This is no small matter. I need you to go there immediately to investigate thoroughly and find out the truth.”

　Admittedly, Councilor Wang intercepted the Firemoth intelligence report on this matter, but as the true leader of Firemoth, Dr. Mei certainly has her own intelligence network.

　She couldn't possibly be unaware of such a large-scale abnormal flow of Honkai energy weapons, nor could she sit idly by.

　After all, these highly dangerous weapons most likely leaked from within the Firemoth, and Dr. May failed to obtain any timely warnings or reports through proper channels.

　This in itself is an extremely dangerous signal.

　Based on her deep doubts about the reliability of the Moth of Fire intelligence, Dr. Mei made the decisive decision to entrust the important task of this investigation to the Poisonous Chrysalis Unit, which she trusted more.

　"Yes, Doctor! I understand."

　“Sakura, remember, whatever you find there, don’t hesitate. Your mission is to sever the source of this darkness and protect everything we cherish.”

　Dr. Mei's words were full of trust and expectation; she believed that Ying would live up to expectations and successfully complete the mission.

　Just like every previous mission.

Chapter 474 Movements of Both Sides

　With Sakura's abilities, a mere black market merchant naturally couldn't keep a secret from her.

　However, when her investigation delved deeper into the supply network, she unexpectedly encountered insurmountable obstacles, bringing her investigation to a standstill.

　Through unwavering persistence and professional tracking skills, Sakura finally pierced through the layers of mystery and located the mysterious supplier who was lurking in the shadows and providing key supplies for the black market.

　However, just as she stood expectantly in front of the seemingly impregnable safe house, the faint, almost imperceptible smell of blood in the air suddenly rang in her heart like an alarm bell.

　The moment she pushed open the door and stepped into the safe house, a chilling aura rushed towards her, and the scene before her made Sakura's heart sink.

　The supplier who was supposed to be the key to unlocking the truth was now a mangled, gruesome corpse.

　The numerous bullet holes covering his body silently testified to the cruel fate he had suffered in his lifetime.

　Sakura crouched down, her gaze fixed intently on the deliberately mutilated corpse, especially its shattered head.

　She knew all too well that such cruel methods were no accident and that there must be an unspeakable secret behind them.

　It's highly improbable that someone would deliberately damage the brain of a murderer after killing them to cover their tracks; this clearly defies conventional logic, unless…

　The saboteurs knew that someone could use special methods to extract key memory information from the brains of the deceased.

　This realization made Sakura's thoughts drift to the Fifth Research Institute under the Fire Moth, which possessed the cutting-edge technology capable of accomplishing such a miraculous task.

　Thinking of this, a strong sense of vigilance and unease welled up in her heart.

　She understood that anyone who knew about the existence of those special instruments tailored specifically for the poisonous pupa unit was no ordinary person.

　Sakura keenly sensed that she was gradually uncovering the veil of a vast and intricate conspiracy.

　Every step I take now is fraught with danger.

　On the edge, a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.

　Therefore, the young assassin with long cherry-blossom hair did not hesitate to activate the communication device and establish an emergency communication with Dr. Mei.

　She recounted all the details of her investigation, as well as the reasonable speculations based on solid evidence, to Dr. Mei.

　Dr. Mei listened quietly to Sakura's report, her face expressionless, but her heart was in turmoil.

　Based on the unusual malfunction of the Moth of Fire intelligence recently, Dr. May had already guessed some things.

　At this critical juncture when human civilization hangs by a thread and its fate is uncertain, what kind of force could make some people willingly become boulder blocking our path forward?

　Dr. Mei pondered to herself.

　She wasn't unaware of the answer behind it, but the heaviness and complexity of the situation made her involuntarily raise even deeper questions.

　Can power really blind people to such an extent that they lose their reason and conscience?

　At this moment, Dr. Mei was filled with indignation and disappointment towards those powerful figures who, despite being at the pinnacle of power, chose to hinder the progress of civilization.

　But her reason told her that now was not the time to indulge in emotions; she had to react quickly to deal with the impending storm.

　Dr. Mei took a deep breath, composed herself, and began to calmly analyze the information provided by Sakura and formulate a response strategy.

　Just as Sakura was following Dr. May's instructions to delve deeper into those key clues, Moros also launched a new magical research project.

　As a demigod-level necromancer, Moros successfully distanced himself from the complex and ever-changing situation within the Firemoth by relying on his powerful magic that could shock the world and his blatant contempt for the rules of human society.

　In fact, not only was Morros himself able to remain unscathed, but Alicia and Eden were also spared from the political storm because of his presence.

　The reason why Representative Wang decided to unite with the two remaining traditional powers to launch a political challenge against Dr. May lies in his accurate understanding of Dr. May's long-standing character of prioritizing the overall situation.

　He believes that even if he suffers setbacks in politics, he can retain his seat and power as a member of the Moth of the Fire, after paying a certain price.

　However, Councilor Wang was not so optimistic about the necromancer.

　He knew Morros's temperament well; he was someone who disregarded rules and the big picture.

　If provoked, Moros will take extreme measures without hesitation, directly threatening the life of Councilor Wang.

　For the sake of his own life, MP Wang repeatedly warned the Moth-like MPs who were united around him not to drag the necromancer into this political storm.

　The other members of the Firemoth Council also held Moros's power and methods in awe.

　They valued their lives and were unwilling to become victims of Moros's wrath.

　Therefore, they not only tried their best to avoid dragging Moros into this conflict, but they also chose to keep their distance from the two fusion warriors who had a delicate relationship with Moros, so as not to inadvertently anger the mad and cruel necromancer.

　In this context, the political struggles of the Firemoths naturally had nothing to do with the necromancers.

　Getting back to the main point, after completing the transformation of [Gravity Whale - Mogalo], Moros did not relax, but naturally shifted his focus to a new target.

　Time flies like an arrow; five months have passed since the ninth Great Collapse subsided.

　During this seemingly tranquil but actually turbulent period, Moros, with extraordinary sensitivity, deeply felt the urgency and preciousness of time.

　He understood that if he could not make good use of this rare period of tranquility to accumulate enough power, then when the Herrscher of the End truly descended, he would personally experience the indescribable terror and power of the Honkai Judgment.

　Based on Moros's assessment of the Herrscher of the End's strength, he was keenly aware that accumulating enough power to contend with it before the terrifying shadow of the Final Judgment enveloped the world was no easy task.

　Even if he possessed a demiplane and could freely draw upon all the magical secrets hidden within the Ashan World Cemetery faction of the Magic Guild, it would still be a difficult and challenging task.

　It was this rare clarity and self-awareness that prompted Moros, after gently accompanying Eden through the most difficult and uncomfortable time following the super-transformation surgery, to resolutely choose to plunge into the deep halls of the Magic Guild and continue his endless magical exploration and research.

　There, he would endure the difficulties and tedium of magical research alone, all for the sake of possessing the power to protect his loved ones when the final judgment arrives.

Chapter 475 War Machine Science and the Birth of the Gray Serpent

　As a demigod-level necromancer with a hero level of 36, Moros is standing at a crossroads in his power.

　Although there seem to be countless feasible paths to improvement ahead of him, if he wants to...

　While achieving a significant enhancement of combat effectiveness in a short period of time, the practically feasible solutions became extremely limited.

　More subtly, he also needs to consider the feelings of Alicia and Eden.

　This forced Moros to abandon many of the methods commonly used by necromancers in the Necropolis faction to enhance their strength.

　In conclusion, Moros currently faces two main options.

　First, rely on [Legion Protection] and [Legion Power] to build a combat power system with the undead legion at its core.

　Secondly, they shifted their focus to improving their personal abilities, dedicating themselves to developing entirely new legendary spells to enhance their spellcasting capabilities.

　If Moros were alone and unattached, he would have embarked on the path of pursuing personal excellence without hesitation.

　After all, compared to the growth and expansion of the undead army, the necromancer's own strength was more in line with his wishes.

　But reality is not fiction; it does not allow for the existence of "ifs."

　Moros's deep affection for Alicia and Eden prevented him from standing by and watching human civilization of this era perish at the hands of the Herrscher of the End.

　In order to accumulate enough power to contend with the Herrscher of the End before her arrival, the undead army is indispensable.

　Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Moros resolutely chose the former—building a combat system centered on the undead legion.

　Now that he had determined the direction of his magical research, he naturally devoted himself to in-depth study of the relevant spellbooks.

　This time, his learning goal is a magical art called WarMachines.

　Several months ago, during an exploration trip to the moon, the Charon-class light frigate that Vervie gifted to Morros left an indelible impression on him with its unparalleled firepower.

　The firepower displayed by this warship is comparable to that of legendary magic.

　The Charon-class light corvette is equipped with a multi-functional missile launch system capable of carrying small Honkai energy fission bombs.

　Even the smallest Honkai energy fission bomb contains energy that is no less powerful than the full-force [Doomsday Judgment] unleashed by a spellcaster who has just entered the Legendary rank.

　Of course, this refers to the kind of "Doomsday Judgment" without any additional super magic techniques.

　After analyzing and copying the Charon-class light frigate that had been turned into a necromancer engine through the blacksmith shop, Moros naturally obtained the exchange template for this powerful war machine.

　Now, he can equip the undead legion with these powerful spaceships on a large scale in a short period of time, at the cost of consuming a large amount of resources.

　In order to maximize the effectiveness of these costly war machines on the battlefield, the study of war machines became a key area of ​​his in-depth research.

　He longed to master this magical skill to further enhance the combat capabilities of the Charon-class light frigate, allowing it to shine even more brilliantly on the battlefield.

　In this real and cruel world, there is no gentle protection from the rules of the game, and no deliberate arrangement of balance.

　Everything depends on the investment of wisdom, resources, and time.

　As long as Moros's magical skills are not simply dependent on the hero panel, he can theoretically expand his magical domain infinitely and master more and more powerful magical skills.

　Earth, the Australian continent, Queensland.

　Beneath the complex research center that the necromancer built specifically for Mebius, there exists a dark and little-known biological waste disposal room.

　Inside, a man dressed like a corpse in a hospital morgue stared blankly at the viscous, black liquid beneath him.

　This black liquid, identical in appearance to the inky liquid secreted by Shesa, the Honkai Beast of the Judgment Class, which is the companion of the Third Herrscher of Thunder, is slowly devouring his body.

　Due to the side effects of the experiment, his nervous system suffered severe damage, rendering this artificial life form, which was only a few dozen days old, unable to perceive the pain of the black liquid gnawing at his body.
