Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Seeing that the necromancer stood up but made no other move, the guard urged him anxiously again.

　"Do not."

　The necromancer flatly refused the guard's request and immediately left the office.

　With the help of the [Flying Magic], he easily flew into the sky above Canberra.

　Then, he gazed into the distance at the southern horizon.

　The necromancer does not need to hide in an air-raid shelter to protect himself; ballistic missiles cannot take his life, not even those equipped with Honkai energy fission bombs.

　However, the residents under his command and the factories in his territory could hardly withstand such a blow.

　Thinking of this, Moros's mood became extremely heavy.

　After takeoff, he indeed saw the missile hurtling towards him in the clear sky, trailing a long plume of flame.

　At the same time, multiple interceptor missiles, trailing plumes of fire, were launched from a distance.

　Some of these interceptor missiles came from Canberra's city defense system, while others came from nearby military bases.

　With his extraordinary perception gained from four leaps in life level, and the constant support spells he possessed, Moros could clearly see that the entire sky was ignited the moment the interceptor missile and the ballistic missile were about to collide.

　The dazzling light illuminated the entire Canberra sky in an instant, the explosion was deafening, and the shockwave rippled through the air, creating layers of rolling air currents.

　The immense energy released by the interceptor missile burst into dazzling sparks in the blink of an eye. The ballistic missile was engulfed and torn apart by these brilliant sparks, and the fragments scattered in the air like a meteor shower across the sky before finally disappearing at the horizon.

　The confrontation was exceptionally brief, yet exceptionally intense.

　Canberra's city defenses and nearby military bases launched interceptor missiles like a dense rain of arrows, continuously striking the incoming ballistic missiles.

　The launch of each interceptor missile is accompanied by a breathtaking explosion, and each explosion signifies a successful interception.

　Under Morros's watchful eye, the ballistic missiles that had threatened Canberra were mercilessly destroyed by interceptor missiles.

　He hovered in the air, his gaze sharp, witnessing this awe-inspiring missile interception battle.

　Despite the large number of interceptor missiles, not every one of them can successfully hit its target.

　A few ballistic missiles carrying Honkai energy fission bombs still managed to break through the interception network and continue to approach Canberra.

　However, these escapees were not a problem at all for a demigod-level necromancer.

　As the sky-covering, sky-blinding blue-purple magical arrows rained down like a torrential downpour, the interception systems failed to...

　The ballistic missiles that made contact were swept away like fragile autumn leaves.

　With his extraordinary abilities, Moros once again demonstrated to the world the supreme power of necromancers.

　His every move exuded ease and grace, and his effortless demeanor made it clear to any observer that he was far from reaching the limits of his strength.

　However, as he gazed at the exploding fireball in the distant sky, there was not a trace of a smile on Moros's face.

　It was indeed a false alarm in Canberra, but... what about other places?

　Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane...

　Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle...

　There isn't a single demigod spellcaster stationed there to guarantee the interception of all incoming ballistic missiles.

　Although all the major cities in the necromancer's territory have been equipped with the same interception system as Canberra, meticulously developed by Velvi, can these systems really stop all missiles without fail?

　These cities are perhaps lucky; at least they have such defensive facilities.

　But what about the rest of the territory?

　How will those remote towns cope with this ballistic missile attack that symbolizes death?

　Don't forget, all of these ballistic missiles are equipped with Honkai energy fission bombs.

　With the power of the Honkai energy fission bomb, just one is enough to turn an international metropolis into a living hell.

Chapter 642 A Devastating Loss

　The necromancer's concerns were not unfounded.

　Just as he cast his spell and successfully intercepted the ballistic missiles that were attempting to break through the tight interception system, a ballistic missile carrying a Honkai energy fission bomb also broke through Perth's interception and crashed into the large city.

　Perth, the jewel of Western Australia, is a modern metropolis covering 5386 square kilometers and with a population of over 222 million. It has always been a symbol of prosperity and vitality.

　However, at this moment, it is unfortunately shrouded in a gloom of death, losing its former vitality and brilliance.

　The sunlight once gently shone on every corner of this city, adding endless vitality and hope to it.

　But now, this land, which was once bathed in sunlight, has fallen into endless darkness and despair.

　As the missile approached Perth, it suddenly accelerated, as if unleashing all its pent-up power at that moment.

　Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light burst forth from the missile; it was the vast energy released in an instant by the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb.

　This light was more intense than the sun, illuminating the entire sky as if it were about to devour the whole world.

　As the light burst forth, an indescribable heat wave swept over.

　This heatwave, like hellfire, instantly reduced all living things and matter to ashes wherever it went.

　The city's buildings, streets, vehicles, and trees appeared so small and fragile in the face of this devastating heatwave. They were mercilessly ignited, turning into raging flames that devoured every inch of the land.

　At the same time, a powerful shockwave spread outwards from the missile.

　This shockwave, like a giant wave, recklessly toppled and destroyed city buildings, overturned and crushed vehicles on the streets, leaving them unrecognizable.

　Faced with this devastating shockwave, people were like fragile ants, tossed into the air at will, and then crashed heavily to the ground.

　At this moment, the power of the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb was fully demonstrated.

　It does not have the radiation pollution of nuclear weapons, but in terms of light, heat and shock waves, its power is more than ten times that of nuclear weapons.

　Perth, once a bustling and vibrant city, has now been transformed into a horrific hell on earth by the devastation caused by the Honkai energy fission bombs.

　Flames spread rampantly through the city, devouring every life they touched.

　Cries, screams, and pleas for help rose and fell, intertwining to create a mournful and desolate symphony.

　The survivors struggled desperately in this desperate situation, trying to escape the raging inferno.

　However, this was just a futile struggle.

　With the city utterly destroyed, they could only helplessly await their fate of death.

　The roar of collapsing buildings, the deafening explosions of vehicles, and the agonizing cries of people intertwined into a chaotic cacophony that engulfed the entire city in endless destruction and despair.

　The sky over Perth was shrouded in thick smoke and flames, and not a ray of sunlight could be seen.

　This city, once so beautiful and prosperous, is now nothing but ruins and despair.

　The tragedy in Perth is by no means an isolated case.

　Although the interception system developed by Velvi far surpasses any known missile interception system on Earth in terms of effectiveness, its adversaries—ballistic missiles equipped with Honkai energy fission bombs—are also far superior in performance to all similar weapons on Earth.

　Adding to this, Ling, who has already awakened to the twelfth law.

　The existence of the attackers meant that all the ballistic missiles controlled by the Moth of Fire were unleashed in this sudden attack.

　Therefore, it is entirely reasonable that a very small number of ballistic missiles are able to break through interception.

　These ballistic missiles, equipped with Honkai energy fission bombs, are so powerful that a single missile is enough to turn the target location into a living hell.

　Adelaide, Newcastle, Brisbane...

　Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila...

　In this round of ballistic missile attacks carrying Honkai energy fission bombs, except for a very few cities that were spared, all the other cities that were attacked were reduced to ruins in an instant.

　As Otto Apocalypse profoundly realized, the thing that can truly destroy humanity is humanity itself!

　Compared to the damage inflicted on human civilization by the technological weapons that humanity has meticulously developed and that are powered by Honkai energy, the destruction caused by the eleven Herrschers in the past, even when added together, is far from comparable.

　After all, the pillars of human civilization have been completely destroyed in this unprecedented ballistic missile attack.

　After losing more than 90% of its population and industrial capacity, human society is no longer able to survive the judgment of the Herrscher of the End.

　However, that's all in the future.

　For the necromancer, the most pressing matter at present is to confirm whether the four figures he longs for—Vilvie, Mebius, Alicia, and Eden—are safe and sound.

　Compared to this world that is destined to be annihilated under the judgment of collapse, their place in his heart is even more irreplaceable.

　Therefore, after successfully intercepting the incoming ballistic missile, Moros didn't even have time to leave a word before immediately opening a remote portal to the depths of the Victoria Desert.

　To Moros's relief, after his personal confirmation, the four people he was concerned about were unharmed in the previous ballistic missile attack.

　Only after confirming this did the necromancer have the time to examine the damage this attack had inflicted on his territory.

　Subsequently, related intelligence poured into his private office like snowflakes.

　It is worth mentioning that most of the bureaucrats who managed the territory for Moros lived in the cities under their jurisdiction.

　In that round of ballistic missile attacks, they and the city they governed were reduced to dust.

　Therefore, the intelligence he now faces all comes from his network of vengeful spirits that spans every town in his territory.

　This is precisely why, while the intelligence is impeccable in terms of timeliness, it is somewhat lacking in the level of detail.

　According to the observations of the vengeful spirits, no town in the necromancer's territory with a permanent population of over 1 has escaped the ballistic missile attack.

　Of the cities attacked, only Sydney and Bangkok survived the catastrophe thanks to the missile interception system developed by Velvet, with the exception of Canberra, which was personally protected by Morlos himself.

　In other words, in this catastrophe caused by the Twelfth Herrscher, the necromancer's territory lost more than 3 million people and incalculable wealth.

　Even so, compared to the territory ruled by the Fire Moth, Moros's losses still seemed relatively manageable.

Chapter 643 The Necromancer's Mixed Fortunes and the Heavy Losses of the Fire-Chasing Moth

　The ballistic missiles loaded with Honkai energy fission bombs launched by Rin, who awakened as the Twelfth Herrscher of Erosion, undoubtedly brought unprecedented devastation and huge casualties to the necromancer's territory.

　However, thanks to the existence of those [territory-level soul collection arrays] covering the entire planet, the number of soul crystals that Moros collected during this catastrophe was more than enough to make up for all the losses caused by this ballistic missile attack.

　After all, out of consideration for Alicia and Eden's feelings, he couldn't personally take action and unleash a bloodbath on this planet, using human souls as raw materials to refine a massive amount of soul crystals.

　Lacking sufficient soul reserves, and facing the Cocoon of the End, which is highly likely to be present on the battlefield during the Final Judgment, Moros couldn't help but feel an indescribable unease and anxiety.

　Now, with this wave of intelligent life forms' souls, amounting to at least a billion, his soul reserves have instantly reached an unprecedented level of abundance.

　Such a rich reserve of soul energy naturally gave him great confidence and assurance in facing the Herrscher of the End, or even the Cocoon of the End who might personally descend.

　As for the loss of long-term gains?

　This is the twelfth major collapse!

　Time is running out before the final judgment arrives.

　In such a short period of time, the benefits that the necromancer's territory could provide him were far less than the rich rewards that would come from slaughtering ninety percent of the intelligent life on the entire planet at once.

　That is why, even though the ballistic missile attack launched by Ling this time brought heavy damage and huge casualties to his territory, Moros did not feel much anger or dissatisfaction.

　This new student's first

　The Twelve Laws, unwittingly, fulfilled the wishes and plans that he couldn't personally carry out because of consideration for Alicia and Eden.

　Under these circumstances, how could he possibly harbor ill feelings towards her?

　Therefore, after fully understanding the losses suffered by his territory in this ballistic missile attack, Moros, apart from quickly opening the interdimensional portal to transfer the souls collected by the [Territory-level Soul Collection Array] to the demiplane, did not have any intention of going to the Moth of Fire headquarters on Tasmania Island to fight the Twelfth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Erosion.

　Unlike the necromancer's mixed feelings, for the Firemoth, the ballistic missile attack launched by Bell, aimed at revenge against humanity, was undoubtedly a terrible piece of news.

　Due to the close relationship between Morros and Vervi, the major cities in his territory were equipped with missile interception systems meticulously developed by Vervi.

　Although these systems were unable to intercept all incoming ballistic missiles in this saturation ballistic missile attack.

　But the astonishing interception efficiency of over 90% is enough to make it impossible for anyone to deny the outstanding performance of the missile interception system developed by Vervier.

　If even the necromancer's territory, protected by such a highly efficient interception system, suffered such enormous losses, it is not hard to imagine the tragic situation that the cities managed by the Firemoth faced.

　Compared to the missile interception system that Velvi equipped for the cities in the necromancer territory, the missile interception efficiency of the missile interception system developed by the Firemoth Research Department paled in comparison.

　Its interception efficiency was at most 60-70%, which led to the devastating blow to the city managed by the Fire Moth in that ballistic missile attack.

　Apart from a few cities defended by heroes that were spared from destruction, all other cities have ceased to exist.

　This is not difficult to understand.

　Even fusion warriors, before reaching the level of Heroic Warriors, have extremely limited survivability when facing attacks from Honkai energy fission bombs.
