Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　She vowed that one day, she would make those who had hurt her taste the same pain and despair.

　This vow burned like a raging fire in her heart, becoming her motivation and belief to live.

　It was this vow that drew the gaze of the Cocoon of the End, perched high above the bright moon.

Chapter 542 The Gaze of the Cocoon of the End

　The necromancer's teleportation raid on the special world bubble, "Theater of Domination," allowed him to successfully seize this valuable world bubble and establish a new cemetery city.

　But this surprise attack also made the Cocoon of the End, who had never truly taken the necromancer seriously for a long time, take this extraordinary being seriously for the first time.

　Although the [Dominion Theater] has been bestowed upon the divine apostle under the command of the Cocoon of the End—the Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of a Thousand.

　However, to say that this terrifying being, capable of easily sealing off the entire solar system and stagnating the development of civilizations in an entire galaxy for endless years, lacks sufficient control over the [Dominion Theater] is undoubtedly an overly hasty idea.

　In fact, the Cocoon of the End did not initially give necromancers much attention.

　It's just a matter of breaking through the spatial barrier of the [Dominion Theater], isn't it?

　If the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, had the spatial coordinates of [Dominion Theater], she could have done the same.

　Wasn't it just wiping out the hundreds of individual Herrschers with thousands of members who were staying in the [Domination Theater]?

　Any of His apostles could do such a thing.

　However, the situation took an unexpected turn, like a sudden storm.

　Despite its power, the Cocoon of the End failed to uncover the secret hidden within Moros—the hero panel shaped by a great being.

　If He truly possesses such insight, then the pinnacle of the Tree Sea system will surely have another supreme being capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea.

　Therefore, in the eyes of the Cocoon of the End, the necromancer seized ultimate control of the [Dominion Theater] with some kind of power that He could not understand.

　How could the Cocoon of the End not feel apprehensive and re-examine itself if it could take away the world bubble that He created himself?

　Therefore, after discovering a promising candidate who possessed both high Honkai energy adaptability and the temperament suitable to become a Herrscher, this being residing high in the bright moon began a new plan.

　After a thorough analysis of the battle between the necromancer and the apostle of God that he had previously sent to that blue planet, the Cocoon of the End was astonished to discover that the power used by Moros was completely out of step with the normal development trajectory of this planet.

　Are there undetected cracks in my lockdown system?

　This question, like a dewdrop in the morning light, gently touched the edge of consciousness in the cocoon of the end.

　However, after carefully examining the solar system's blockade and confirming that there were no loopholes, the Cocoon of the End rejected this conjecture.

　He certainly discovered [Sa], who was sneakily trying to break through the imaginary energy tidal zone He had set up and leave the solar system, but the Cocoon of the End did not care about it.

　Just as humans don't waste their attention on the ants beneath their feet, the cocoon of the end will not reveal [Sā]—the one before Him.

　They were once as insignificant as ants—but we keep them in our hearts.

　Indeed, in order to control immense energy, the current [Sola] has abandoned its personality and morality, transforming into a [deity] rooted in the [Sea of ​​Quanta].

　However, in terms of both size and methods, she is still in the intermediate stage of transforming from a rather special Friusa (Venusian) person into a [deity].

　Even 50,000 years after the original timeline, when [Suo] reached its peak, it was still a weakling in the face of the vast and boundless power of the Cocoon of the End.

　But at that time, He would no longer be an ant that could be easily crushed by the cocoon of the end.

　It was at least a beetle that He could crush if He just put in a little more effort.

　As for that quiet [Star Gate] standing at the edge of the imaginary tidal zone?

　The Cocoon of the End has personally inspected it, and there is no sign that the interstellar gate, which He specially left behind, has been activated recently.

　For the Cocoon of the End, a truly eternal being, its concept of time is naturally quite different from that of short-lived species like humans.

　In His view, the near future refers to two to three cycles of civilization (10 to 15 years).

　Getting back to the main point, after rejecting the initial speculation, the Cocoon of the End turned its attention to the sixteen sublime and great Star Gods, as well as the most widely circulated transcendent system in the universe—[Destiny].

　However, after comparing the differences between the necromancer's spell usage, behavior patterns, and various destinies, the Cocoon of the End concluded that the extraordinary individual who had earned His high regard did not conform to the characteristics of a destiny traveler who follows the Star God and walks the path of destiny.

　This realization plunged this powerful being into deep thought.

　He began to realize that the existence of the necromancer Moros might be beyond all the knowledge and understanding He currently possessed.

　The power he displayed was neither a gift from the Star God nor an extension of any known destiny, but a unique and mysterious unknown power.

　Moros... just who are you?

　Silently murmuring the necromancer's name in her heart, the Cocoon of the End, after countless years, was once again driven by a strong sense of curiosity.

　Perhaps I should go and meet this extraordinary person in person?

　A bold idea began to form in His mind.

　But this impulse was quickly dispelled by the Cocoon of the End itself.

　Before fully understanding how Moros had quietly seized control of the [Dominion Theater], the Cocoon of the End was unwilling to easily expose itself to the necromancer's gaze.

　After all, He has long been accustomed to manipulating everything from behind the scenes and rarely ventures into the complex and chaotic mortal world.

　Refocusing his gaze on that blue planet, this being, who had destroyed countless civilizations, had already made up his mind.

　My apostle, this time, I hope you can help me find out some things...

　This powerful being was filled with anticipation. He hoped that the divine apostle He had sent to that planet—the Herrscher—would unveil the mystery of Moros and lay a solid foundation for His subsequent decisions.

　With this plan in mind, the Cocoon of the End naturally needs to strengthen the eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, which is currently in the process of being conceived.

　Recalling the previous clashes between the necromancer and the Fourth Herrscher of Wind, the Sixth Herrscher of Death, and the Seventh Herrscher of Flame, He had come to a profound realization of a crucial fact.

　Faced with Moros's extraordinary strength, ordinary Herrschers are like fragile eggs facing a hard rock, utterly unable to contend with him.

　Therefore, sending ordinary Herrschers to probe would be futile, yielding no valuable information whatsoever.

　Since ordinary Herrschers cannot shoulder this heavy responsibility and fulfill the mission entrusted to them by the Cocoon of the End, they naturally need to find another way and make some changes.

　It is obvious that strengthening the soon-to-be-born Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, to enable her to uncover more of the necromancer's trump cards, is undoubtedly a wise and feasible choice.

Chapter 543 The Eleventh Herrscher - The Herrscher of Binding Descends

　The gaze of the Cocoon of the End pierced through the vast, boundless abyss of the universe, stretching 38 kilometers, precisely locking onto the crimson-stained, devastated ruins, and the girl huddled in the shadows, her heart filled with hatred and despair.

　Are you willing to become my messenger, in the name of the Lawgiver, to launch a thorough revenge against this unjust world and the long-destroyed human civilization?

　The whispers of the Cocoon of the End, like the ancient and distant tolling of a bell, stirred up ripples in the girl's heart.

　Lawyer

　This term is no longer a strange and mysterious one for humanity, who are still struggling on this blue planet.

　Every major collapse is accompanied by the presence of these terrifying beings;

　They possess human form, yet wield supernatural powers.

　Bearing the will of God, shouldering the responsibility of destroying human civilization.

　The mission;

　The true apostle of God;

　……

　These descriptions, while bringing endless fear to the surviving humans, also undeniably proved the power and arrogance of the Herrschers.

　With the power of the Herrscher, will I be able to reclaim everything I have lost from the Moths of Flame and from this ruthless human civilization?

　The girl silently questioned the ethereal yet tangible "god" in her heart.

　God did not respond directly with words, but the girl's question received an ineffable answer the moment it was asked.

　"Is that so? Then..."

　The girl slowly loosened her grip on the photograph pendant, which slipped from her fingers, seemingly as her final farewell to her past life.

　Her eyes gleamed with an unprecedented firmness and determination.

　It was a power that surged from the depths of the soul, a towering tree that grew from the seeds of hatred planted by the Fire Moth under the nourishment of collapse.

　"I am willing!"

　The girl's voice was soft, yet it contained an undeniable power.

　She allowed the immense power originating from the Cocoon of the End to surge into her body, completely transforming her from a frail refugee girl into the Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, possessing terrifying power capable of destroying human civilization.

　At that moment, her body began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

　His originally frail body was filled with Honkai energy from the imaginary space, and his muscles and bones became tough and powerful under the impact of the massive amount of imaginary internal energy.

　Her eyes began to gleam with a strange light, a color unique to the imaginary space, deep and mysterious.

　Deep within her pupils, it seemed as if countless intricate gears cast in brass were slowly rotating.

　That was a harbinger and symbol of the new power she was about to master and wield—the power of [restraint].

　As the power surged in, the girl's clothing began to change.

　The originally tattered and dusty clothes gradually disintegrated under the baptism of Honkai energy, and were replaced by a gorgeous and solemn Herrscher outfit.

　The upper part of the dress is pure white, as pure and flawless as the first snow, or like the holy light above the clouds, exuding an irresistible noble and sacred aura.

　It clung tightly to the body of this newly born Herrscher of Restraint, perfectly outlining her youthful yet charming physical lines, showcasing a unique beauty and allure.

　The shoulder design presents a pair of vivid and lifelike wings poised for flight, with golden tassels hanging gracefully from the shoulders, swaying in the wind and shimmering with dazzling light.

　They not only add a touch of dynamism and elegance to this Herrscher attire, but also symbolize the Herrscher's powerful ability to soar through the skies and overlook the world.

　The hem of the dress is predominantly gold, making it both dazzling and warm.

　The golden fabric was embroidered with intricate and complex silver patterns, which contained boundless imaginary energy that flowed and intertwined on the fabric, making this apostle of God appear even more extraordinary and sacred.

　The hem of the skirt was inlaid with tiny gold patterns that shimmered brilliantly in the light, like a cascading galaxy, both beautiful and dangerous.

　The most eye-catching feature is the crown worn by the Herrscher of Binding, which is made of gold and white.

　A huge gem is set in the center of the crown. It is a highly concentrated crystal of Honkai energy, emitting a soft and stable golden light, as dazzling as the sun.

　It is not only a symbol of the identity of the Herrscher of Constraint, but also a symbol of the protection of the Cocoon of the End.

　Yes, in order for this divine apostle who descended to earth to successfully fulfill the duties He had given her, the Cocoon of the End specially bestowed upon her a divinely given treasure of extraordinary significance.

　With the protection of this gem, the Herrscher of Binding will possess invincible power in the face of any challenge, until she fulfills the mission bestowed upon her by the Cocoon of the End—to confront the necromancer face to face.

　Compared to the Honkai test that takes place every 50,000 years, the Cocoon of the End now prefers to satisfy its own curiosity.

　Of course, if they could satisfy their curiosity while completing this round of Honkai test, that would be the best thing for the Cocoon of the End.

　Getting back to the point, the girl wearing this Herrscher dress has completely transformed and is no longer the refugee girl cowering in the shadows.

　She is now the eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, possessing power sufficient to shake the world.

　As Honkai energy continued to pour in, the girl felt her connection with the imaginary space growing stronger.

　She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to absorb all the vast power of the imaginary space into herself.

　In that instant, she seemed to merge into the imaginary space, dancing with Honkai energy and resonating with the imaginary internal energy.

　When she opened her eyes again, the apostle of God's pupils had completely transformed into a dazzling gold.

　Sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, shining upon the ruins and witnessing the girl's transformation.

　Standing up, the newly born Eleventh Herrscher gazed intently into the distance.

　That is the direction in which human civilization is located.

　"In the name of the Herald of Restraint, I will take revenge on this unjust world!"

　The indifferent voice echoed through the ruins, carrying an irresistible force.

　She waved her arm, and a golden beam of Honkai energy shot straight into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire horizon.

　Countless golden chains spread out in all directions from this apostle of God at his core.

　At the same time, retro brass gears appeared on the horizon, with a huge core gear driving countless smaller gears that meshed tightly together, creating a magnificent mechanical spectacle.

　[Divine Grace Barrier]!

　This is her declaration of war against human civilization.

　Most importantly, the scope of this anomaly far exceeds the "minor disturbances" of any previous Herrscher.

　This time, the Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, unleashed a [Divine Grace Barrier] that was an enormous spherical domain with a radius of 150 kilometers, the extent of which was unprecedented.

Chapter 544 The Slaughter of the Herrscher of Binding

　Within the vast spherical domain of the [Divine Grace Barrier], the once bustling and vibrant city now seems to have been suddenly locked in by the shackles of time, plunging into an abyss of deathly silence and despair.
