Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　If that's the case, why would He risk suffering real harm to gamble on a possibility?

　Even if the possibility is not high.

　But as long as He doesn't step into the game, He won't lose.

　The longer one lives, the more one understands the weight and horror of death.

　The Cocoon of the End has existed for so long that it has even surpassed the existence of most Star Gods in the universe.

　His sensitivity and vigilance towards risk are naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

　Yes, the legendary spell [Soul Torrent] cast by Moros not only successfully annihilated the Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, but more importantly, it cast a small but real shadow in the heart of the ruler of the solar system—the Cocoon of the End.

　From that surging, almost all-consuming torrent of souls, the Cocoon of the End truly felt an unprecedented, substantial threat.

　It was this threat that prompted Him to choose this more cautious and prudent approach.

　If the necromancer's [Soul Torrent], unleashed with the power of hundreds of thousands of human souls, fails to completely annihilate the wisp of consciousness projected onto the Herrscher of Binding by the Cocoon of the End, then He might not hesitate to adopt a more decisive and radical course of action.

　However, at this moment, faced with this immense power that is inherently sublime and so powerful as to pose a threat to the Star Gods, the Cocoon of the End ultimately chose to wait and observe more cautiously.

　His accumulated experience over a long period of time taught him that patience and wisdom are often closer to success than blind impulsiveness.

　Having made its decision, the main consciousness of the Cocoon of the End chose to return to that clear...

　The cold and desolate far side of the moon.

　As the consciousness of the Cocoon of the End quietly departed, time, which had been frozen by the power of [Time], resumed its natural flow.

　Just then, a look of confusion flashed across Moros's eyes.

　Unlike the other beings on this planet who are tightly bound by the power of [Time], as a necromancer whose life level has risen to the realm of demigods, he possesses an intuition far beyond that of ordinary people.

　Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, a strong sense of unease arose inexplicably deep within him, as if some unknown and subtle change had quietly occurred.

　As a spellcaster whose hero level has reached 40, Moros would never easily dismiss this unease as a mere illusion.

　Recalling the previous manipulation of the Herrscher of Constraint to fight in the Cocoon of the End, a hypothesis gradually formed in his mind.

　Has He come...?

　Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on the [Netherworld Staff], a chill running down his spine, causing the necromancer to shiver.

Chapter 560 The Eleventh Great Collapse Ends

　Dr. May, who was standing in the command center of the Firemoth headquarters on Tasmania, closely monitoring the changing battle situation through real-time images transmitted by military satellites, was naturally unaware of the chill that was quietly rising in the heart of the necromancer.

　Dr. May's wisdom shines like the brightest star in the night sky. Even in this era of outstanding talents, only Vervière and Möbius can rival her wisdom.

　However, Dr. Mei was ultimately just a being of flesh and blood, and her life level did not transcend the realm of ordinary people.

　Therefore, as the power of "Time" that the Cocoon of the End possessed, capable of shaking space and time, gradually dissipated, she was unable to keenly perceive that unusual aura in the air like that necromancer who transcended the mortal realm.

　Under the watchful eyes of Dr. Mei and all the officers and researchers in the Herrscher combat command center of the Moth of Flames headquarters, the Herrscher core that was quietly suspended in front of Moros clearly revealed the final outcome of the battle.

　It silently proclaimed that the thrilling battle between the necromancer and the eleventh herrscher had come to an end.

　Despite the many twists and turns and challenges during the battle, in the end, the necromancer once again defeated the apostle of the god who descended upon this blue planet, thanks to his unparalleled magical power.

　Anyone who could watch this battle taking place on the shores of the Caspian Sea via military satellites knew what a terrifying contest it was.

　The strength of the eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, completely surpassed even the most pessimistic estimates made by Moth Chaser before the battle.

　Furthermore, the power called "Restraint" possesses a terrifying power that can instantly turn any weapon or equipment using Honkai energy into scrap metal.

　The best proof of this is the spaceships under the command of necromancers, which have yet to take to the skies.

　Even the Charon-class light frigate, designed with all of Velvi's heart and soul and enhanced by Moros's expert-level War Machine Science, could not escape its fate within the Divine Grace Barrier constructed by the power of Binding.

　The weapons and equipment widely deployed by the Fire Moths, which are far less technologically advanced than those of the Charon-class corvettes, would have predictable consequences once they entered the range of the Divine Grace Barrier.

　Moreover, the power of [Restraint] is equally effective on Fusion Warriors.

　In the long history of this world, it was this eleventh Herrscher who wielded the power of [Binding] who reduced the Fusion Warriors, who had grown into an army, to a mere thirteen survivors known as the [Thirteen Heroes of Fire].

　Faced with the massive [Divine Grace Barrier] that covers an area of ​​500 kilometers, even Kevin, the top powerhouse of the Fire Moth who wields the Third Divine Key, the Judgment Key, and the Seven Lightnings of Purification, could not guarantee that he could break through to the Herrscher of Restraint.

　Not to mention annihilating this apostle of God and ending this global catastrophe.

　In this context, the significance of Moros's victory over the Eleventh Herrscher is so profound that it needs no further explanation.

　Can a human being be compared to a god...?

　Thinking of this, a fiery light flashed in Dr. Mei's deep purple eyes.

　Through the necromancer, she reaffirmed her determination and belief in defeating the Honkai.

　Through in-depth conversations with Vervie and Mebius, Dr. Mebius was able to confirm with absolute certainty that Moros was a genuine human being.

　Although the source of his magical power remains unknown, it did not become a stumbling block to Dr. May's beliefs.

　Since Moros was able to defeat such a powerful Herrscher with magic, then she—May—can surely lead human civilization across the judgment of collapse with the help of technology.

　Dr. Mei's thoughts did not affect her actions.

　After calming herself down a bit, she quickly adjusted her mindset and, as the leader of the Fire Moths, decisively issued the order.

　"Immediately dispatch fusion warrior units to completely eliminate this massive collapse."

　A swarm of Honkai Beasts born from evil.

　Indeed, the Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, has perished in the terrifying torrent of magic unleashed by the necromancer, and the Great Collapse has effectively come to an end.

　But this does not mean that those who chase after fire can relax their efforts.

　The Honkai energy that surged with the arrival of the eleventh Great Honkai gave birth to countless ferocious and powerful Honkai beasts.

　These Honkai Beasts wreak havoc like a raging flood, posing a tremendous threat to human society.

　As the masters of human society, the fire-chasing moth, while enjoying all the benefits that power brings, also needs to assume the responsibility of global domination.

　They must step forward, take action, and do everything in their power to eliminate the Honkai hordes that threaten the survival of humanity.

　Fortunately, compared to the Firemoths of the same period in the Extinct World, the Firemoths on this planet were able to retain a sizable force of Fusion Warriors thanks to the timely intervention of the necromancers.

　This team of powerful super soldiers undoubtedly provides an unbreakable foundation and strong guarantee for the Moth of Fire's global cleanup operation against Honkai Beast swarms.

　Imagine if, like in the original world, the number of Fusion Warriors were reduced to only thirteen, then the Fire Moth might have no choice but to abandon its grand plan to wipe out the Honkai beasts from the entire world, with helplessness and regret.

　The only feasible strategy in that situation would be to quickly gather the scattered humans into a limited number of cities and implement strict centralized protection.

　However, reality never offers "what ifs".

　It was precisely because a large number of Fusion Warriors did not perish in the [Divine Grace Barrier] constructed by the Herrscher of Binding that Dr. Mei was able to confidently deploy the Moth Chaser's global Honkai horde cleanup plan.

　Getting back to the main point, after carefully planning and assigning the combat missions to each fusion warrior squad, Dr. Mei immediately shifted her focus to another crucial task—

　That is to receive and properly resettle the remaining people under the rule of the vampire clan, ensuring that they can contribute to human civilization under the new order.

　The Eleventh Herrscher descended upon this blue planet in the Western European Plain, and her subsequent actions pointed directly to the distant Southern Ocean region.

　Simply unfold a world map and you'll find that until the Herrscher of Binding was intercepted by the necromancer, her route almost completely traversed the vast and boundless territory of the vampire race.

　Considering that this divine apostle, who wields the power of [restraint], maintained a [divine grace barrier] covering an area of ​​over 150 kilometers throughout his journey.

　Furthermore, this barrier is extremely efficient at killing low-level creatures, so it is not surprising that the once glorious Dark Empire of the vampire race completely collapsed in this Great Collapse.

　With the dissipation of the clan's power, the few hundred remaining vampire survivors were clearly no longer able to maintain their former dominance.

Chapter 561 Territorial Struggle Under the Apocalypse and the Necromancer's Palpitation

　The Firemoth organization has long held a strong interest in the vast territory controlled by the vampire race.

　However, intimidated by the necromancers' authority, they never took military action against the non-human creatures that fed on human blood.

　Furthermore, the vampire elites, represented by Beatrice, possessed superb and skillful political maneuvering, and some members of the Firemoth harbored a secret yearning to prolong their lives by transforming into vampires. As a result, the Firemoth's interest remained limited to monitoring and restricting the development of the vampire race, and no further action was taken.

　However, the arrival of the eleventh Great Collapse completely overturned this situation.

　This cataclysmic event undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to human civilization.

　The "Divine Grace Barrier" constructed by the power of "Constraint" is so astonishingly effective and efficient at harming the weak that it leaves people speechless.

　In just a few short seconds, a healthy, ordinary person will die due to the complete disappearance of bioelectricity in their body.

　It should be noted that even before the Cocoon of the End was played by a substitute, the [Divine Grace Barrier] released by the Eleventh Herrscher of Binding was already able to cover a vast area with a radius of 150 kilometers.

　In Western Europe, such coverage has been enough to claim tens of millions of lives.

　Even more serious is that, driven by the will of the Cocoon of the End, the Lawbringers of Restraint are advancing all the way to Southeast Asia.

　During this process, the number of lives harvested by the [Divine Grace Barrier] astonishingly exceeded 200 million.

　Moreover, as the battle between the necromancer and this divine apostle who wielded the power of [Binding] continued, the Cocoon of the End eventually took over the consciousness of the Herrscher of Binding and controlled her body.

　Under the manipulation of this terrifying being, the power unleashed by the authority of [Binding] has reached an unprecedented level.

　A massive [Divine Grace Barrier], centered on the Caspian Sea region and with a radius of 500 kilometers, is like the giant hand of death, casting a shadow of death over this vast and boundless land.

　Despite having suspended her control over [God] in order to fully engage the necromancer, the Herrscher of Binding, who was then under the control of the Cocoon of the End, paused her manipulation of [God].

　Despite the movement of the "Divine Grace Barrier," this unprecedented "Divine Grace Barrier" still caused immeasurable catastrophic consequences.

　The sheer number of lives it claimed at once far exceeded the total number of lives harvested by the [Divine Grace Barrier] in the past, causing profound grief and irreparable loss.

　Today's human civilization is no longer the glorious civilization of the past, with over eight billion people and at its peak.

　In fact, even at the height of human civilization, the sudden disappearance of such a huge number of people in just two days would have caused devastating losses.

　Moreover, human civilization is already ravaged by collapse and disaster, becoming fragile and devastated.

　Losses within the dike can be compensated for by losses outside the dike. In order to make up for the heavy blows they have suffered, the Moth of Fire organization naturally turned its attention to the territory of the vampire clan.

　At this very moment, the Dark Empire of the vampire race also suffered an unprecedented and devastating blow.

　The [Divine Grace Barrier] released by the Herrscher of Binding is like the merciless scythe of death, casting the shadow of death over the vampire's territory.

　In this catastrophe, almost none of the high-ranking members of the vampire clan survived, including Beatrice, who lost her life under the ever-spreading and irresistible [Divine Grace Barrier].

　Having keenly grasped this once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity, Dr. Mei certainly wouldn't let it slip through her fingers easily.

　However, she also understood that the necromancer's attitude was crucial to the success of the operation.

　Therefore, while ordering the Firemoth to deploy troops to receive and properly resettle the remaining people under the vampire clan's rule, she also quickly established communication with Congressman William, clearly expressing her desire to establish contact with the necromancer.

　Having understood Dr. May's intentions, Congressman William dared not be negligent in the slightest.

　He immediately used the [Communication Badge] bestowed upon him by Moros to report this important situation to the necromancer in great detail.

　Time moves forward.

　At the same time that Moth of Fire learned of the Eleventh Herrscher's fall through a military satellite floating in a planetary synchronous orbit, Moros also managed to calm the palpitations that arose in his heart as he guessed what had happened before.

　The more you know, the more you understand reverence.

　Unlike Dr. May and the Fire Moth, the necromancer is aware of the existence of the Cocoon of the End.

　Furthermore, he actually had some understanding of the terrifying power of the Cocoon of the End.

　Although it hurts his pride to say this, Moros is more aware than anyone else that the Cocoon of the End is far beyond what he, a mere demigod at the current limit, can challenge.

　Faced with that being who dwells high above the bright moon, his life and death were not actually in his own hands.

　This fact was undoubtedly a huge shock to necromancers.

　Facing the fear of death caused Moros's mind to tremble violently, making him unable to control himself.

　This is precisely the problem that academic spellcasters commonly face.

　Because of their extreme lack of practical experience, especially the kind of life-or-death combat training, they often find it difficult to calm down and exert their full strength when facing a potentially fatal crisis for the first time.

　Of course, this is not an insurmountable obstacle.

　As long as the spellcaster has a deep enough foundation, even if they can only unleash a portion of their power, it is enough to crush their opponent into dust.

　Not to mention, by experiencing this situation a few more times, or by using spells like [Mechanized Mind], this problem can be solved extremely efficiently.

　Getting back to the point, after barely calming the turmoil in his heart, Moros summoned the death dragon with a wingspan of over two hundred meters to his side through the mental link between himself and the summoned avatar of death.

　Previously, this dragon of death was indeed tightly bound by the metal chains generated by the [Binding] power of the End Cocoon, which was used by the player who had logged in to fight for it, and was unable to move.

　However, it was still a genuine demigod-level combatant, and even the Cocoon of the End, using only the body and power of the Herrscher of Binding, could not quickly annihilate it.

　Therefore, after successfully rendering the incarnation of death powerless and temporarily eliminating its threat, the "Law of Restraint" no longer devoted much attention and effort to it.

　Then, using the souls of hundreds of thousands of humans as casting materials, Moros unleashed a legendary spell of astonishing power—[Soul Torrent].

　In an instant, this torrent of souls, containing the wails and despair of hundreds of thousands of souls, devoured the consciousness of the Ruler of Restraint and the Cocoon of the End that controlled it.
