Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Although the presence of necromancers prevented Flamecha from risking Eden's life on the battlefield, this did not stop Flamecha from cleverly using Eden's influence to pursue its own interests.

　On the one hand, Eden's generous patronage played a crucial role in the development of the Firemoth, serving as an indispensable and solid backing for its early rise.

　Even today, with the Firemoth having completely taken over human society and its influence and power far exceeding what they once were, Eden's continued sponsorship remains a substantial amount, providing a solid economic foundation for the Firemoth's various activities and plans.

　On the other hand, the Moths also took advantage of Eden's exalted status in the hearts of the people.

　The name Eden, like the brightest star in the night sky, has long been etched in people's hearts as a symbol of hope and light.

　She is not only the embodiment of art, but also the concrete manifestation of the undying belief deep in countless hearts, a spiritual beacon supporting people's progress.

　It was with this in mind that Moth of the Flame decided to send Eden on a tour, using the power of music and art to penetrate the gloom of despair and illuminate people's hearts.

　Dr. May also has high hopes for Eden's tour.

　She firmly believes that Eden's long-standing reputation and widespread influence can be a balm for people's hearts, giving them the hope and strength they need to face the challenges of collapse.

　Eden was fully aware of the moth's intentions.

　She doesn't object to bringing her art into more people's lives, but Eden understands that this tour is completely different from any of her previous concerts.

　In the past, the stage was a temple for her to purely express art.

　All she needs to do is fully immerse herself and let every bit of her talent and passion shine under the spotlight.

　However, things are different now. Although the stage lights are still dazzling, the meaning they carry has quietly changed.

　No one cares about the art she dedicated her life to; all people need is for the singer named Eden to stand on the stage.

　That's it.

　And this has always been the thing Eden cared about the least.

　Getting back to the point, when Eden's invitation arrived, Moros accepted it without any hesitation.

　To outsiders, this necromancer may always appear as a madman and ruthless figure, as if his world consists only of killing and death.

　But in reality, Moros can also show his deepest tenderness and sensitivity to those he cares about.

　Passing through a remote portal shimmering with eerie blue magical light, the necromancer once again set foot on the land of the Far Eastern Islands after many years.

　The backstage area of ​​Osaka Dome is softly and warmly lit, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

　Here, Moros found Eden, who had just finished a brilliant performance and was immersed in the joy of a successful show and the exhaustion of physical exertion.

　At this moment, she was wearing a black and red fitted long dress, which made her look even more elegant and mysterious under the lights, like a rose in the night, exuding an irresistible charm.

　"Eden, it's been a long time."

　Moros's voice carried a subtle, almost imperceptible tenderness.

　When that familiar yet long-lost voice sounded behind him, Eden's body involuntarily trembled slightly.

　She quickly composed herself and turned around gracefully with near-perfect poise.

　Her long, wine-red hair, like the finest silk, shimmered with an alluring luster under the light, adding an indescribable charm to her beauty.

　She dropped everything almost instantly, a bright smile blooming on her face, and strode towards Moros.

　The distance between them gradually shortened until they were close enough to clearly feel the warmth of each other's breath and the resonance of their heartbeats.

　"Moros! You've finally arrived!"

　Eden's voice was filled with undisguised joy and excitement.

　Her eyes were even slightly red, glistening with tears of joy at their long-awaited reunion.

　They embraced tightly, as if trying to pour all their longing and emotions into that embrace.

　That tacit understanding and intimacy needs no words to explain or prove it; it has been deeply imprinted in their hearts.

　At this moment, the noise and turmoil of the outside world were shut out in another world, leaving only the deep affection between the two of them flowing quietly, warm and beautiful.

Chapter 523 Concert Under the Shadow of the Apocalypse (Part 1)

　Having gladly accepted Eden's sincere invitation to witness her extraordinary global tour, Moros was naturally unwilling to settle for a brief and superficial reunion.

　He was determined to delve deeper into this journey and accompany Eden until the final chapter of the tour.

　Eden's global tour is actually very tight in terms of time.

　Compared to previous tours that spanned thousands of miles and lasted for months or even years, this tour has achieved an unprecedented reduction in physical distance.

　This is mainly due to the dramatic changes in the current planetary situation.

　The shadow of collapse looms over the land, and human civilization struggles to survive in despair.

　This reality has not only reshaped the face of the world, but also changed the trajectory of the tour.

　In the past, Eden's world tours spanned vast distances and covered the globe, but in reality, she only needed to hold one concert in a few relatively bustling cities.

　However, due to the vast distances between these cities, nearly a quarter of the tour time was spent on long journeys.

　However, this global tour, meticulously planned by Moths, presents a completely different picture.

　The core purpose of Moth Chaser's tour has always been to soothe hearts and convey hope.

　Dr. Mei is keenly aware that in this increasingly chaotic era, Eden's music is like the brightest star in the night sky, capable of illuminating the shadows in people's hearts and giving them the strength to move forward.

　To this end, Moth Chasing Flame spared no effort in using large military Honkai energy transport aircraft to compress travel time to the extreme, allowing Eden to quickly travel to various places and spread the seeds of love and hope further and wider.

　Meanwhile, the rampant Honkai disaster has reduced more than half of the cities on the surface of this blue planet to ruins.

　In this situation, Eden's tour route was naturally affected.

　Compared to the long, winding journey that crosses thousands of mountains and rivers during peacetime, the actual route of this tour is much shorter and more direct.

　Of course, the core purpose of this tour organized by Moth of the Flame is to use music as a bridge to soothe the hearts ravaged by disaster and to convey the undying light of hope.

　Therefore, the songs that can be performed at the Eden concert are naturally...

　Extremely strict screening and restrictions were implemented.

　Even with Eden's artistic talent, he could still perform quite perfectly, even while dancing in shackles.

　However, it is undeniable that this strict restriction on the repertoire also directly led to a shortening of the duration of each concert.

　Moreover, when Moros finally reunited with Eden at Osaka Dome, her tour had already come to a successful conclusion, marking a wonderful chapter in the region.

　This also meant that the necromancer did not actually spend the entire time accompanying Eden throughout the world tour.

　According to the plans of the Fire-Chasing Moth, Eden is about to embark on a journey to the Southeast Asian archipelago region.

　That will be the final stage of her tour, and the place where this extraordinary tour will come to a perfect end.

　Yes, the last stop of Eden's tour was the Southeast Asian region under the rule of necromancers.

　This is not just a geographical coincidence, but also one of the key reasons why Eden specifically invited Morales to participate in the tour.

　She hopes that Morales can witness her performance on this land and experience together the power of music to transcend boundaries and connect hearts.

　As for why the Fire Moth chose the necromancer's territory as the last stop of Eden's global tour?

　This is not surprising at all.

　Since Moros reached an agreement with Dr. May, he has opened his territory to the Firemoths.

　As an influential organization, Moths of Fire naturally knew how to maximize this opportunity.

　They understood that touring the necromancer territories would not only bring direct profits, but also be an excellent opportunity to win the hearts of the people and enhance their influence.

　Therefore, when planning their tour routes, Moth of Fire naturally wouldn't overlook these regions with huge potential.

　173 days after the end of the tenth Great Collapse.

　Kuala Lumpur, Southeast Asia.

　As the former political, economic, financial, industrial, commercial and cultural center of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur's prosperity needs no further explanation.

　Even after being brought under the rule of necromancers, the city still shines brightly, its prosperity undiminished.

　Moros implemented an extremely lenient management style over his territory.

　As long as they pay their taxes on time and in full, and obey his orders, he will generally not interfere much with how the local powerful figures manage the region.

　This decentralization approach has not only stimulated the vitality and creativity of local administrators, but also laid a solid foundation for Kuala Lumpur's continued prosperity.

　When this land is like a treasure trove, continuously supplying enormous economic benefits to the administrators, which powerful figure would not cherish this prosperity and do everything in their power to maintain and develop it?

　This virtuous cycle is the secret to Kuala Lumpur's continued prosperity even under the rule of necromancers.

　Furthermore, due to the necromancer's deployment of a territory-level soul-gathering array in the Ipoh area, and the presence of the undead garrison he has deployed to guard this large array, the security situation on the Malay Peninsula appears particularly stable on this planet ravaged by collapse.

　Although small-scale Honkai attacks occur from time to time, any medium-sized Honkai attack that could potentially destroy a city is suppressed by powerful undead forces in its infancy.

　The sense of security provided by the powerful undead forces deeply resonated with the elite class in Kuala Lumpur, leading them to resolutely choose to submit to the necromancers' power as their country crumbled in a great collapse.

　Getting back to the point, it was precisely because of Kuala Lumpur's rare prosperity and stability during this time of despair that the Moth of Fire organization chose this city as the final stop of Eden's global tour.

　As night falls, Kuala Lumpur's skyline is adorned with dazzling lights and twinkling fluorescent lights, as if the entire city is draped in a dreamlike veil, ready to welcome the upcoming musical feast.

　On the streets, crowds surged, each person filled with anticipation and reverence for Eden, converging on the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre—the stage that was about to become the focus of the world's attention.

　Inside the convention center, staff members were working diligently and systematically to complete the final preparations. Every screen, every light, and every sound system was repeatedly tested to ensure that the musical magic of Eden could be perfectly presented.

　When Eden finally appeared backstage, the entire venue held its breath.

　She wore a gorgeous performance outfit specially customized for this tour, her eyes sparkling with boundless love for music and deep care for the audience.

　At this moment, she is not just a singer, but also a messenger of hope and love.

　This "Golden" Inscription will soothe every heart in the room with her singing.

Chapter 524 Concert Under the Shadow of the Apocalypse (Part 2)

　Since the core concept of this world tour is to provide solace and comfort to the soul, the stage layout organized and planned by Moth Chaser has abandoned any box designs that might create a sense of separation, striving to create a pure and inclusive performance hall without boundaries or hierarchy.

　In this situation, even a necromancer who controls the life and death of all beings needs to humble himself and sit alongside the other audience members.

　Inside the main venue, we listened together to Eden's heavenly and beautiful singing.

　However, this seating arrangement did not diminish Moros's pleasure; on the contrary, it added a special touch to the delicate emotional bond between him and Eden.

　Seated leisurely in the first-row VIP seat personally arranged by Eden, the necromancer's gaze was fixed on the singer on stage who was displaying his artistic talent with great enthusiasm.

　In this ultimate audiovisual experience, he chose to completely unleash himself, letting his soul be embraced by the gentle yet powerful waves of music, soaring freely with the rise and fall of the melody.

　Each note is like a meticulously crafted arrow, piercing through the many barriers of his heart with unerring accuracy, striking directly at his most tender and authentic self.

　They not only awakened the necromancer's emotions and empathy, but also stirred up long ripples in his heart, making the waves of emotion advance layer by layer and become increasingly intense.

　In this dreamlike realm woven from music and art, he felt as if he had stepped into a completely new world.

　All worries and sorrows are washed away by the artistic power of Eden, leaving only the purest joy and satisfaction.

　He was immersed in this tranquility and beauty, feeling the endless charm and power of art.

　But just as this tranquility and beauty was about to reach its peak, a sudden voice shattered the harmony like a bolt from the blue.

　"boom!"

　Despite the sound being processed by both a silencer and a flash hider, for a necromancer who had undergone four leaps in life level and possessed extremely keen senses, the gunshot was undoubtedly extremely jarring and untimely.

　Almost the instant the gunshot pierced the air, Eden, who was performing with complete focus on the stage, suddenly had a deep blue magical shield condense around him.

　On this magical shield, a large, specially made Honkai energy warhead was clearly visible. Its cold and complex structure appeared even more ferocious under the glow of the dark blue light.

　Its existence, though silent, powerfully reveals a sinister and failed conspiracy against Eden.

　Upon witnessing this scene, Moros's eyes were instantly filled with raging anger.

　The flames not only burned with indignation at the needless destruction of this precious beauty, but also contained hatred and uncontrollable rage towards anyone who dared to harm Eden.

　"court death!"

　He growled out those two cold words through clenched teeth.

　Without hesitation, he instantly cast a short-range teleportation spell and arrived beside Eden.

　When the necromancer saw with his own eyes that Eden, the singer dressed in a classic black and red gown and blooming like a dark rose, was safely within a deep blue magical shield, unharmed, the necromancer's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

　He exhaled a breath of stale air, but the vigilance and coldness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

　Even if the assassination fails, all those involved must pay with their lives!

　Having secretly vowed to himself, Moros cast a dark spell called "Mind Deception" to firmly control the minds of everyone present.
