Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　However, to minimize casualties among our troops while swiftly and efficiently annihilating the enemy is a formidable challenge.

　"Too late? Ha, I don't think so~"

　The pink fairy lady parted her lips slightly, and the confidence in her tone made Qianjie and Kosmos, who were standing beside her, look at her with surprise.

　They couldn't understand where Alicia's composure and confidence came from.

　However, trusting Alicia, the two chose to remain silent, simply watching her next move.

　Under their watchful eyes, the pink fairy gracefully extended her slender fingers and took out the [Wraith Jar] that Moros had given her from her pocket.

　Yes, Alicia's solution was that simple—call for backup.

　She was well aware of the necromancer's power; once she received his assistance, even the seemingly flawless plan of the Thousand-Man Herrscher would be easily shattered by him.

　After receiving Alicia's magical communication, Moros, who had completely taken control of the world bubble of the Domination Theater with the help of the power of the Lord's Heart, turned to look at Mebius beside him.

　"Mebius, do you want to come with me to deal with the remaining thousand individual Herrschers?"

　Faced with the necromancer's sudden invitation, Mebius's pink-green gradient snake eyes narrowed slightly.

　A moment later, a faint smile appeared on her lips, her voice tinged with amusement.

　"Of course, Moros. Snakes are very vengeful creatures."

　Having received a positive reply from Mebius, Moros said no more.

　With a casual wave of his hand, he tore apart the barrier of space, opening a cross-dimensional teleportation channel leading to Alicia's location.

　Thanks to the fact that the [Domination Theater] is now completely under the control of the necromancer, this interdimensional teleportation experience was significantly improved for Mebius compared to the last one.

　The entire process was exceptionally smooth, without any uncomfortable dizziness or dazzling bright light.

　Moros and Mebius simply stepped into the portal and instantly appeared steadily in front of Alicia.

　"Oh, Dr. Möbius!"

　A hint of surprise flashed in Alicia's eyes when she saw the green-haired older woman emerge from the portal.

　"Don't you always like to hide in the lab? What brings you out today?"

　Noticing the subtle distance between Mebius and Moros, the pink fairy couldn't help but feel a mischievous urge and teased him playfully.

　"Shut up, you fat woman!"

　Mebius will not be polite to Alicia.

　She retorted without hesitation.

　"Oh dear, Möbius, can't you be a little gentler?"

　Alicia feigned a wronged and coquettish act, but a cunning glint flashed in her azure eyes.

　Clearly, she didn't mind Mebius's directness.

　“Alice, you called Moros here, surely not to argue with me about these trivial matters.”

　Not wanting to continue entangled with Alicia, Möbius quickly steered the conversation back on track.

　Sensing the change in Mebius's attitude, Miss Pink Fairy also suppressed her curiosity.

　She then told Moros all about her guesses about the strategic intentions of the Thousand-Man Herrscher and the problems she had encountered.

　"So, you need me to open a portal to the headquarters of the Firemoth?"

　"Uh-huh!"

　Alicia nodded quickly.

　Her charmingly naive appearance made everyone present smile.

　"That's simple."

　As the necromancer finished speaking, a dazzling, deep blue light portal instantly materialized beside Alicia.

　However, the instant the portal opened, a violent surge of flames suddenly erupted from the other end of the portal.

　The moment Moros opened the portal, the thousand Herrscher individuals remaining on the floating warship immediately noticed the undeniable portal radiating a ghostly blue light.

　This scene is not unfamiliar to the thousand Lawbringers.

　Not long ago, in the [Dominion Theater], they also witnessed a similar portal opening.

　That time, they not only lost most of their companions, but also lost the sanctuary that God had given them—the Theatre of Domination.

　Therefore, the moment the portal appeared, the thousand Herrschers almost instinctively controlled their floating warships, unleashing a barrage of firepower at the dark blue portal.

　This fierce attack was the source of that fiery surge.

　However, for an attack of this magnitude, let alone Moros, a demigod-level necromancer, even Alicia and Mebius could easily neutralize it.

　Of course, out of love for Alicia and Mebius, Moros decided to personally intervene and resolve the attack.

　Without him making any move, a new teleportation portal silently appeared, blocking the surging flames.

　When the fiery impact struck the portal without warning, there was no expected roar or explosion.

　On the contrary, the originally raging and unruly flames seemed to be drawn by a gentle yet powerful force, slowly but orderly flowing into the portal.

　After absorbing all the power of the Flame Impact, the portal's light gradually dimmed, eventually dissipating into the air like morning mist, leaving only a faint, almost imperceptible magical fluctuation lingering gently in the space.

　Rippling.

　"It seems the thousand Herrschers are being far too enthusiastic in their welcome."

　Looking in the direction where the portal disappeared, Moros's tone revealed a hint of mockery and composure.

　Upon hearing this, Alicia lightly lifted her skirt and, with a smooth and elegant turn, traced a beautiful arc in the air, like a petal falling.

　As she turned, her gaze gently fell upon the necromancer, and a bright and stunning smile bloomed on her face.

　That smile, like the warm sunshine of spring, instantly illuminated everything around, making Moros's mood cheerful as well.

　"Indeed, keeping others waiting is not the behavior of a lady."

Chapter 505 The Failure of the Thousand-Man Lawyer

　Time moves forward.

　Just as Moros received the magical communication from Alicia through the [Wraith Jar], Dr. May also switched to the Blank Key that she and Velvet had jointly developed.

　She then used the headquarters' internal broadcasting system to announce a major piece of news to everyone.

　Dr. Mei claims that he has mastered a method to eliminate a thousand Lawbringers once and for all.

　Upon hearing this broadcast, the thousand Herrschers who had already stormed into the headquarters of the Flame Chaser made a decision without hesitation.

　They left behind more than ten individuals who volunteered to sacrifice themselves, working with the airborne Honkai Beast horde to hold back the fusion warriors, including Sakura and Su, who were still lingering at the Moth of Fire headquarters.

　Meanwhile, the remaining dozens of individual Herrschers launched a swift and decisive attack on Dr. Mei's location without hesitation.

　The thousand Lawyers naturally noticed the deliberate nature of this internal public broadcast and understood that it was likely a trap carefully set by Dr. Mei.

　But they knew even more clearly that, given Dr. Mei's research capabilities, the method she claimed to have was very likely real.

　Moreover, this attack on the headquarters of the Firemoth was intended from the very beginning to kill Dr. May.

　Now that they have the opportunity to achieve this goal, the thousand Herrschers are naturally not going to give it up easily.

　And so, just as Dr. Mei had predicted, her provocative broadcast acted like a magnet, drawing all the thousand Herrscher individuals she could muster to her area.

　Then, these thousand individual Herrschers ran headfirst into a brick wall called Kevin.

　On ordinary days, when he is not busy with missions, Kevin is always inseparable from Dr. May.

　This is no secret within the Fire-Chasing Moth organization.

　The thousand Herrschers who obtained this information from Councilor Karl were naturally prepared for this and were not surprised at all.

　In order to break through Kevin's defense, the thousand Herrschers adjusted their tactical layout.

　They sent dozens of individuals to restrain Kevin, preventing him from providing timely assistance to Dr. May.

　Meanwhile, the remaining dozen or so Herrschers of a Thousand adopted a roundabout tactic, bypassing the battle area and heading straight for Dr. Mei's room.

　Upon meeting Dr. Mei, the thousand Lawbringers, knowing the urgency of the situation, did not waste time on pointless words.

　Without saying a word, they launched a direct attack on Dr. May.

　"Come on, we've been waiting for you."

　With the power of the Blank Key, Mei resolutely gripped the Third Divine Key, the Judgment Key, the Seven Thunders of Purification, which had transformed into a sharp longsword.

　Given Kevin's deep affection for May, it's perfectly reasonable for him to entrust his weapon to her.

　At this moment, Dr. Mei's long, dark purple hair, tied up, swayed gently in the breeze, creating a stark contrast with her cold and resolute face, completely overturning the traditional impression of her as gentle and weak held by the thousands of Herrschers.

　If May knew that Alicia had already recruited the necromancer, she would probably reassess the situation and wouldn't take such a huge risk in this do-or-die battle.

　But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." She didn't know the necromancer's exact whereabouts and could only make what seemed to be the most reasonable decision based on her own judgment.

　Getting back to the main point, in the long history of the main world, Dr. Mei, wearing the Blank Key, destroyed 320 individual Herrschers of a Thousand in 201 seconds after linking to the Herrscher Core of the Third Herrscher - Herrscher of Thunder.

　Even on this planet, the thousand Herrschers were buffed by the Cocoon of the End.

　However, when faced with Dr. Mei, who wielded the Seven Thunders of Purification and wore the Key of Blankness, their resistance lasted only a dozen seconds.

　This result is not surprising.

　Looking back at the P21 Island battle in the original world, the number of Herrschers that Dr. Mei faced was far greater than what we see today.

　Under these circumstances, how were the thousand Herrschers of this world able to persist for so long?

　Time has proven that they are indeed much stronger than their counterparts in the original world.

　However, compared to the enemies faced by the thousand Herrschers, such enhancements are clearly far from sufficient.

　After wiping out the dozen or so individual Herrschers who rushed in front of her to die, Dr. Mei, carrying the Seven Thunders of Purification, went to find Kevin.

　However, by the time she arrived at the area where Kevin was, the white-haired warrior had already annihilated all the thousand Herrscher individuals that had appeared in his field of vision.

　Thanks to the instant communication capabilities between the thousands of Herrschers that transcend distance, the Herrschers who were controlling the airship to unleash firepower on the headquarters of the Firemoth immediately understood the changes that were taking place on the ground.

　"Damn it, how could Mei be this strong?!"

　"That armor she's wearing... the Blank Key? Wasn't it supposed to be still in the unfinished stage?"

　"Damn it, she actually concealed such crucial research progress from the Firemoth Council!"

　"..."

　In the communication channel among the thousand Herrschers, the few remaining members vented their dissatisfaction and astonishment.

　Now, they are beginning to understand why veteran members of the Moth Chaser Parliament, such as Representative Wang, launched a coup.

　Any leader would find it difficult to tolerate such a situation.

　On the surface, the Fire Moth appears to be an organization that unites the strength of many to fight against the threat of Honkai.

　However, there are undercurrents within the organization, with each key department acting independently. Although they outwardly follow the overall arrangements of the Moth of Fire Council, the heads of each department secretly disapprove of the leaders in the council who are focused on political affairs.

　Including Dr. Mei, every department head harbored a strong belief that they were the only saviors who could lead humanity out of its predicament of collapse.

　Therefore, the Fire-Chasing Moth is actually more like a disorganized anti-Honkai organization.

　Upon realizing this, the thousand Herrschers couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

　"Ha, I thought we could sow discord among humans, but I never imagined that even the fire-chasing moths could never truly trust each other... This time, we lost, but..."

　At this point, the last few Herrschers of a thousand looked up into the distance, a hint of madness flashing in their eyes.

　You haven't won yet!

　"In the name of Carl Gustav, I order..."

　Using Councilor Karl's authority, these individual Herrschers, numbering in the thousands, were just about to issue their final orders when they discovered a portal that had suddenly opened on the ground.

　After a brief moment of surprise, they seemed to realize something and continued to issue commands.

　"Command: Overload warship engines, overload thrusters, enter collision course with waypoint A1."

　"Authorization successful, executing command..."

　After accepting the order and verifying permissions, the artificial intelligence controlling the floating warship executed the instructions of the thousand Herrschers without hesitation.

　With both the warships' engines and propulsion systems overloaded, the last few floating warships of the Firemoth floating fleet adjusted their course, pointing their bows toward the Firemoth headquarters on the ground.
