Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　As he spoke, Representative Wang took a step forward, closing in on Dr. Mei, his tone full of threat.

　"Now, I'm giving you one last chance. Submit to us, and I promise to ensure your safety, and even reserve space for you to continue your research in the newly established order. But if you refuse..."

　He paused deliberately, making the threat in his words even more pronounced.

　"Then, what awaits you is unprecedented loneliness and rejection. Your name and your achievements will be completely erased in the long river of human history, leaving no trace."

　Although the chilling aura emanating from Kevin's anger made Councilor Wang shiver involuntarily, he still forced himself to finish his threatening words, attempting to shake Dr. May's resolve.

　Dr. Mei showed no fear in the face of Councilor Wang's threats.

　“Councilor Wang, the power and interests you speak of may be the ultimate pursuit in your eyes, but to me, they can never compare to the future of humanity. Every member of the Moth Chaser, including those Fusion Warriors you once tried to win over, we have all come together for the same goal—to protect this world and prevent it from falling into the abyss of Honkai.”

　She paused, then looked directly into Representative Wang's eyes.

　"Your threat only strengthens my resolve. Because I know that those who can truly lead humanity to victory against the Honkai will never be politicians like you, whose minds are filled with self-interest!"

　Ignoring Councilor Wang's gloomy face, Dr. Mei looked at the Moths of Fire soldiers who had followed Councilor Wang.

　"I know that many of you joined this organization out of love and responsibility for humanity. Now, I give you a choice. Will you continue to follow Councilor Wang down the path filled with power struggles and sacrifices, or will you choose to join me in fighting for the future of humanity?"

Chapter 494 The Failure of the Coup

　Dr. Mei's words plunged the room into a brief silence.

　Those soldiers who followed Representative Wang into her office may have felt a slight pang of emotion at some point.

　However, given that they had already been swept up in the tide of the coup, such an impact was far from enough to make them change their stance or defect.

　Reality, this harsh mentor, never weaves sweet dreams.

　These elite soldiers under the command of the Fire Moths were all highly educated.

　They understand that in this world, there is a phrase called "settling scores after the fact."

　This word, though silent, carries immense weight, enough to nip any thought of rebellion in the bud.

　Seeing Mei Bo

　The passionate speech failed to resonate with his own team as expected. Councilor Wang's expression gradually returned to its usual composure, and he even inadvertently revealed a faint hint of self-satisfaction.

　"Mei, you may have the ability to inspire young people who have not yet been tempered by the world with your firm beliefs."

　With a smile that was a mixture of sarcasm and disdain, Councilor Wang's words revealed obvious contempt.

　"But in this realistic world, for most people, the allure of tangible benefits and power is the eternal compass in their hearts."

　After saying this, Councilor Wang secretly estimated that the Honkai Energy Inhibitor should have already produced the expected effect.

　Therefore, he decided to issue an ultimatum to Dr. May.

　Having decided to launch a coup, Councilor Wang naturally knew that he could not rely solely on the power of the Thousand Lawyers to fight against the Fusion Warriors in Dr. Mei's camp.

　His real trump card is the Honkai energy inhibitor that he and the country behind his husband jointly developed.

　This is a secret weapon they developed specifically to suppress the Fusion Warriors.

　The unique feature of this Honkai Energy Inhibitor is that it can penetrate the body of a Fusion Warrior without needing to breathe. Even the slightest contact with the skin can have an effect, significantly weakening the Fusion Warrior's power.

　However, the efficacy of this formulation is highly dependent on the closed environment in which it is used.

　Once in a non-enclosed environment, its effectiveness will be diluted at a rate measured in seconds until it becomes ineffective against Fusion Warriors.

　It was precisely because of this characteristic of Honkai Energy Inhibitor that Representative Wang was willing to risk personally facing Dr. Mei and engaging in a time-consuming and exhausting debate with her.

　His goal was to ensure that the Honkai energy inhibitor could function effectively in a confined indoor environment, especially to suppress Kevin, the powerful fusion warrior who was inseparable from Dr. May.

　Representative Wang has a clear understanding of Kevin's strength.

　He knew that if Kevin were allowed to use his full power, his strength would indeed be enough to shake the entire situation and even turn the tide.

　"Mei, I'm giving you one last chance. Are you willing to join us and share this glory and power?"

　For someone as talented and valuable as Dr. Mei, MP Wang is willing to give her another chance.

　However, he clearly underestimated Dr. May's determination.

　“I’m sorry, Councilor Wang, but for the sake of the continued existence of human civilization, I cannot accept your proposal.”

　"What a regrettable decision..."

　Representative Wang sighed softly, then decisively gave instructions for the next step.

　He slowly raised his arm and, with a brief but precise gesture, gave instructions to the soldiers behind him.

　At Councilor Wang's signal, the soldiers once again raised their weapons, which had been enhanced with Honkai energy.

　"farewell!"

　As he finished speaking, a barrage of gunfire erupted like thunder, instantly filling the entire space.

　But the bloody scene Wang had envisioned did not unfold.

　A crystal-clear wall of ice suddenly rose from nowhere at the critical moment, blocking all the bullets.

　This ice wall not only protected Dr. Mei, but also shattered all of Councilor Wang's plans and fantasies.

　"How can this be?!"

　Representative Wang stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

　His gaze was fixed on the impenetrable ice wall, his heart filled with shock and confusion at the failure of the Honkai energy suppressant.

　"Why? Why isn't there a Honkai Energy Inhibitor...?"

　His words came to an abrupt halt, and terror spread across his face as if he had suddenly realized something horrible.

　"You... how could you possibly have found a way to counter our secret weapon in such a short time?! This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

　However, he was met with Dr. Mei's calm and confident voice.

　"In the halls of science, there is no such thing as 'impossible.' The reason you can't do it is simply because your vision and abilities are too limited!"

　The instant Dr. May finished speaking, Kevin manipulated the ice and snow power granted to him by the [Parvati] gene, freezing everyone who had entered Dr. May's office without permission, including Councilor Wang, into ice blocks.

　Given Kevin's feelings for May, he was already furious at Councilor Wang's provocations and threats.

　But out of deep love and respect for Dr. May, he chose to restrain himself and let Dr. May decide for herself when to take action.

　Now, as Dr. May finished speaking, Kevin instantly understood her thoughts.

　Therefore, he no longer hesitated and let Councilor Wang and others personally experience the terrifying power of the fusion warriors.

　Looking at the frozen Firemoth soldiers, a hint of regret flashed in Dr. Mei's eyes.

　She immediately stood up, turned her gaze to Kevin, and said softly but firmly.

　"Come with me, it's time to end this chaos."

　Just as Dr. May and Kevin were in Tasmania, wiping out Senator Wang's influence with Operation Thunder and consolidating their control over the new headquarters of the Firemoth, Senator Wang's meticulously planned coup attempts were also thwarted one by one around the world.

　Having accurately predicted Representative Wang's movements, Dr. Mei naturally took precautions and prepared countermeasures in advance.

　However, she was unwilling to involve these carefully prepared contingency plans in pointless internal human conflicts.

　But when the threat actually materialized, and faced with MP Wang’s blatant provocation against order and stability, Dr. Mei did not hesitate at all and decisively activated those preparations that she had originally hoped to keep hidden.

　In the Moth Chaser's airport, only a few remaining airships were moored forlornly. Alicia had already eliminated all the individual Herrschers who attempted to intrude with her unique elegance.

　Please accept this bouquet of flowers with gratitude.

　At that moment, she drew her bow and nocked an arrow, her movements fluid and precise. Each arrow accurately stunned the members of the coup forces sent by Councilor Wang, restoring peace and order to the airport.

　In the suburbs of the Fire-Chasing Moth's branch in the South Asian subcontinent, a different scene unfolds.

　There, fiery tornadoes rose into the air like giant dragons, connecting the sky and the earth, ravaging everything in their path.

　Qianjie's figure appeared and disappeared in the firelight. He laughed wildly, his voice filled with unruliness and madness.

　"Hahaha! Let's wipe them all out!"

　With his laughter, both the approaching thousand individual Herrschers and Councilor Wang's coup forces were reduced to ashes in this firestorm.

Chapter 495 Heroes in the Coup

　On the vast plains of the La Plata in South America, in front of the Argentine branch of the Firemoth, a fierce battle has just come to an end.

　Having entered the state of [Artificial Collapse], Kosmo slowly withdrew its sharp claws, gleaming with a cold blue-black light, from the chest of a dying Herrscher of a Thousand.

　During the battle, this individual Herrscher of a Thousand, even to the very end, continued to question the deep-seated malice and filth within humanity with a mocking tone.

　These words pierced through a deep wound in Kosmo's heart like a sharp arrow, causing his beliefs to waver.

　Lowering his head, staring at the lifeless Herrscher body in his hand, Kosmos fell silent.

　"……(never mind.)"

　After a while, Kosmo extracted the Herrscher core containing a large amount of Honkai energy from the corpse of the thousand Herrscher individuals and turned his gaze to the distance.

　There, the coup forces sent by MP Wang were fleeing the battlefield in a panic.

　Good and evil are distinct and cannot be reconciled!

　With this belief he had always held dear silently in his heart, Kosmo took a step forward and caught up with the rebels who were trying to escape.

　Under the deep night sky over the Far Eastern Islands, a tense and ominous atmosphere permeated the corridors of the Far Eastern branch of the Fire Moth.

　In this long corridor, an ice-blue samurai sword—[Spirit Blade: Frosty Prison]—cut through the silence of the night, leaving behind a series of dazzling blue trails.

　These rays of light intertwined and collided in the air, forming an impenetrable net of light that shattered the surrounding space, as if even the flow of time was frozen by this force.

　In that suffocating moment, the resistance of the last coup soldier was extinguished like a candle in the wind.

　His body fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

　Then, a thick, warm stream of blood gushed from the fatal wound in his back, like a flower blooming in hell, spreading across the ground and eventually pooling into a horrifying pool of blood, making everything around him even more sinister and terrifying.

　Only then did a young assassin with long, cherry-blossom-colored hair slowly emerge from the shadows.

　Holding the ice-blue samurai sword—【Spirit Blade: Frosty Prison】—she was like a ray of sunshine in winter, illuminating this space shrouded in death.

　The young assassin flicked her wrist slightly, completing a precise yet elegant blood strike.

　The bloodstains and battlefield dust on the blade were instantly wiped away, leaving only a cold, gleaming light that shone brightly in the dim light, reflecting off her cool and beautiful face, adding to her otherworldly aura.

　"mission completed."

　With a light touch of the communicator's call button, Sakura transmitted the message across mountains and rivers, accurately conveying it to Dr. Mei, who was closely monitoring the situation in Tasmania.

　Hidden in the vast Pacific Ocean is a small island designated P-21 by the Fire Moth.

　On this isolated island stands a special prison called "The Deepest Place," designed to imprison exceptionally dangerous prisoners or those with special abilities.

　The prisoners here are usually very quiet.

　This quietness did not stem from their inner docility, but from the presence of a formidable guardian—Aponia.

　Although the guard called himself a sinner

　But her unique ability—to read fate and people's hearts—allowed her to establish an unshakeable authority among the prisoners.

　She has the ability to see into everyone's heart and predict their behavior. This extraordinary ability instills unprecedented fear in every prisoner locked in the Deepest Place prison.

　More importantly, Aponia also possesses the power of the "Commandments," which allows her to directly modify the consciousness of prisoners, making them unknowingly submit to her will.

　This kind of intimidation, which forcibly alters one's consciousness, is difficult to resist even for the most vicious and unruly prisoners.

　Therefore, under Aponia's watchful eye, the Deepest Place prison maintained a suffocating tranquility and order.

　However, today, the tranquility of the deepest place was broken by a subtle ripple.

　A well-equipped force, dressed in Moth Chaser uniforms, carrying an order issued by Councilor Wang in the name of the Moth Chaser Council, set foot on this isolated island.

　They went straight to the heart of the prison and found the guardian, Aponia, who had fused with the genes of the Honkai Beast [Midoro] and transformed into a Fusion Warrior.

　The unit's commander, a sharp-eyed and imposing figure, stepped forward and presented their demands to Aponia.

　"We are here on orders, and we hope you can cooperate with us to safely transfer all the prisoners in the prison."

　Although he maintained a certain level of politeness and humility in his words, the underlying sense of command was exceptionally strong.

　However, Aponia's reaction was unusually resolute.

　She had already had in-depth discussions with Dr. Mei beforehand and fully agreed with Dr. Mei's insights and plans.

　Therefore, when faced with the officer's request, she shook her head without hesitation and refused.

　"I'm sorry, but I cannot accept this request."
