Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　This tolerance and kindness deeply impressed Moros, and it strengthened his resolve to find a better solution for them.

　Ellie, Eden, I respect and understand your position, but I cannot stand idly by. I will take action to protect you.

　Time returns to the present.

　Piloting the newly completed Paris-class heavy frigate, the Paris, Moros, along with Velvet and Mebius, traversed the sea of ​​clouds and finally arrived above the headquarters of the Firemoth.

　Indeed, this action to seek justice for Alicia and Eden not only saw the necromancer present, but also Velvi and Mebius chose to join in.

　This is not something that is incomprehensible.

　After all, Alicia, Eden, and Vilvie, who were all Moros's sweethearts, had a good relationship with each other.

　In reality, with Alicia and Eden's social skills, who could possibly distance themselves from them?

Chapter 684 A New Chapter for Alicia and Eden

　Because the entire voyage from the Victoria Desert to Tasmania was concealed by the third-level summoning magic [Illusion Legion], even though this steel behemoth with a total mass of nearly 14 tons was quietly hovering in the sky above the headquarters of the Firemoth, the guards of the Firemoth did not detect any trace of the Paris-class heavy frigate, the Paris.

　Upon arriving above the headquarters of the Firemoth, Moros did not rush to dispel the illusion spells covering the Paris.

　With the profound wisdom he gained from four leaps in life level, he was fully able to foresee what would happen after the illusion spell was dispelled.

　When the Firemoths realized that a spaceship had appeared above their headquarters, their farewell ball could not possibly continue.

　It was obvious that Moros was unwilling to destroy Alicia and Eden's last joyful time together at the Firemoth.

　Therefore, he decided to maintain the illusion spell for the time being to preserve as much warmth and sweetness as possible for Alicia and Eden's farewell party.

　After all, this ball meant not only a farewell to their friends in Moth of Flame, but also a heartfelt reflection and remembrance of the wonderful times they had spent together in Moth of Flame.

　Vervi and Mebius expressed their understanding and support for this.

　Their bond with Alicia and Eden was deep enough that they were willing to spend time and effort to create a perfect ending for their final day as the Firemoth.

　And so, the Paris silently hovered above the headquarters of the Firemoth, quietly awaiting the perfect conclusion of this farewell ball.

　As the final song of the farewell ball ended and Alicia and Eden reluctantly stepped out of the Firemoth headquarters, Moros dispelled the illusion spell covering the Paris-class heavy frigate.

　At this moment, the entire Paris, like the first rays of dawn, suddenly appeared before the eyes of the Moth Chaser, a sight both awe-inspiring and magnificent.

　As the full view of the Paris was suddenly revealed to the members of the Firemoth, the Firemoth headquarters instantly descended into chaos.

　Those who were originally immersed in the afterglow of the ball stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to the huge thing suspended in the air.

　Their faces were filled with astonishment, curiosity, and a hint of inexplicable unease, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

　"That's... a spaceship?"

　Someone murmured softly, their voice revealing an undisguised shock.

　"Could it be that a necromancer's warship?"

　Others seemed to recognize the warship's origins, their tone filled with doubt and speculation.

　Amidst the uproar, Dr. Mei, who led the Moth Chasing the Flame, stepped forward.

　"Please remain calm and do not panic..."

　Her voice was calm and powerful, echoing through every corner of the headquarters' broadcasting system, gradually calming the commotion.

　With Dr. Mei's extraordinary wisdom, how could she not know the ownership of the spaceship hovering above the headquarters of the Fire Moth?

　However, it was precisely because she guessed that the owner of the Paris was that unfathomable necromancer that Dr. May was able to so calmly reassure the members of the Firemoth.

　She knew that as long as Moros's deep affection for Alicia and Eden remained, he would never easily allow this warship, which contained boundless power, to unleash its destructive firepower.

　Under Dr. May's command, the initially chaotic members of the Fire Moth gradually regained their rationality and composure, and began to deal with this sudden change in an orderly manner.

　At the same time, Alicia and Eden, who had just stepped out of the headquarters, also felt the intense shock emanating from the Paris.

　They looked up at the enormous steel behemoth that stood majestically in the sky, and their hearts were filled with indescribable emotion.

　Clearly, they had not expected that Moros would come to greet them in such a magnificent warship.

　This unexpected surprise moved the two of them, and they also felt the necromancer's deep and sincere emotions.

　At the same moment that Alicia and Eden gazed up at the Paris, the [Wraith Jar] that Moros had given them suddenly shone with a light representing a request for magical communication.

　After exchanging a glance, the pink fairy and Eden connected to the magical communication relayed by the [Wraith Jar].

　“Ellie, Eden, it’s me.”

　"Moros, you really came!"

　Alicia's voice trembled with an irrepressible excitement, a beautiful melody interwoven with joy and happiness.

　"Of course, as your lover,"

　How could I possibly miss such an important moment?

　Moros's voice was full of laughter.

　"The Paris is ready for you. Would you like to come aboard and experience it?"

　“Of course, Moros. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us.”

　Eden responded softly.

　Her golden eyes sparkled with a radiant light, a blend of emotion and joy.

　"Yes, Moros. We are ready."

　Alicia echoed this with anticipation.

　Having received Alicia and Eden's approval, the necromancer standing in the Paris command center couldn't help but smile slightly.

　He gently waved the [Netherworld Staff] he was holding, instantly opening a short-range teleportation portal directly to the ground where Alicia and Eden were located.

　Although the Paris-class heavy frigates are equipped with sophisticated personnel shuttle boats and elevator systems, Moros was willing to expend his magic to personally cast a portal to welcome his beloved women in the most efficient way.

　Passing through the short-range teleportation portal that shimmered with a ghostly light, Alicia and Eden appeared in the command center of the Paris in an instant.

　With a smile, Moros approached, his eyes filled with affection and tenderness for the two ladies.

　"Welcome aboard the Paris, my ladies, this is the starting point of your new journey."

　Just then, Vervière and Mebius also came to greet them.

　A mischievous glint flashed in Vervi's eyes as she spoke first in a light and cheerful tone.

　"Oh dear, look who's here! Our pink fairy and elegant Lady Eden have finally left that dull fire-chasing moth to join our adventure!"

　Upon hearing this, a sweet smile bloomed on Alicia's face.

　“Vilvie, please stop teasing us. It has been a long-held wish of Eden and me to fight alongside everyone. Thank you sincerely for everything you, Moros, and Mebius have done for us.”

　Nodding, Mebius then picked up the conversation at the opportune moment.

　"Alicia, Eden, welcome to the team."

　Eden expressed his determination with a calm and unhurried attitude.

　“Of course, Mebius. Alicia and I are ready, and we will face whatever lies ahead, whether it be stormy or sunny.”

Chapter 685 A Demonstration Before Departure

　The time spent together is always too short.

　After a brief moment of warmth and joy, a report from the artificial soul aggregate controlling the warship made Moros realize that it was time to leave this airspace.

　"Master, a high-energy reaction has been detected."

　Accompanied by that cold, emotionless mechanical voice, the projection system inside the command center was activated, vividly displaying the external scenery of the Paris to Moros and Velvet.

　Kevin, Sue, Qianjie...

　Aponia, Hua, Kosmo...

　All the Heroic-level Fusion Warriors had gathered above the headquarters of the Firemoth, standing like brilliant stars in the sky, facing off against this behemoth weighing nearly 14 tons.

　For Heroic-class Fusion Warriors, condensing Honkai energy to its extreme and transforming it into an aerial platform for highly mobile aerial combat is already a masterful skill.

　Without this strength, how could the heroes of this world defeat those divine apostles—the Herrschers—who wield different powers?

　After all, Herrschers are powerful beings who can soar freely through the skies without any external assistance.

　Although Moros possessed formidable strength even among demigods, and was confident of victory even against numerous heroes single-handedly, but…

　He glanced at Alicia and Eden beside him, who were staring worriedly at their former comrades on the projected screen.

　This deep affection warmed the necromancer's heart and led him to make the decision to retreat.

　Just as Dr. May had guessed, Morros was unwilling to hurt Alicia and Eden's feelings, so he couldn't really order the Paris to go all out.

　Those sporadic missile and energy beam attacks were ultimately futile attempts, thanks to the tight defense of six Heroic-class Fusion Warriors.

　However, whether it is futile or not is one thing, whether to take action or not is another.

　Out of consideration for Alicia and Eden's feelings, Morros could not allow the Paris-class heavy frigate beneath him to fire at full power, but this did not mean that he would leave this airspace without doing anything.

　Before bidding farewell, he resolved to leave an indelible mark on the Firemoth, as a response to Dr. May's decision to remove Alicia and Eden from the list, and also as a clear declaration of his own stance.

　"Order: Return to base!"

　Moros's voice echoed within the command center, carrying an unquestionable authority.

　The engines of the heavy frigate Paris roared to life, signaling its imminent departure from the tense skies and its return journey.

　However, this does not mean that Moros's departure will go unnoticed.

　He had already made up his mind to leave an unforgettable warning to those who chase after the flame like moths.

　"Launch EMP-tipped missiles, one salvo, target: Moth of the Flame headquarters!"

　In an instant, the missile silos on the Paris opened one by one, and missiles carrying electromagnetic pulse (EMP) warheads streaked across the sky, heading straight for their targets.

　These missiles were not intended for destruction, but rather to create brief electromagnetic interference, giving the enemy a strong warning and serving as a silent yet powerful demonstration of the vast gap in naval combat capabilities between the two sides.

　Faced with the EMP-tipped missiles launched from the Paris, Kevin, Sue, Qianjie, and other Hero-class Fusion Warriors reacted quickly.

　"Intercept them with all your might!"

　Kevin's voice was calm and firm.

　He condensed Honkai energy, mobilized the genes of [Parvati] within his body, and transformed the Honkai energy into solid ice barriers. Together with the methods of the other heroes, they constructed an impenetrable defense line to intercept the Paris's missile barrage.

　Missiles rained down, but thanks to the tacit cooperation and formidable strength of the British, every missile was precisely intercepted, turning into dazzling sparks and dissipating in the air.

　Just when everyone thought the crisis was over, Moros gave a mysterious smile.

　He knew that he had already won before the heroes realized his true killing move.

　Just as Kevin was fully focused on intercepting the last missile, Morros suddenly made a move.

　Using a super-magical technique called [Instant Spellcasting], he opened a short-range portal, swallowing the EMP missile that was about to be intercepted into the portal's dark blue light curtain.

　Immediately afterwards, the necromancer opened another portal less than half a meter away from the ground-level building of the Firemoth headquarters.

　The missile was like a beast that had been imprisoned for a long time, suddenly bursting out of the portal with irresistible force, hitting its target directly with overwhelming force.

　Although the missile did not carry enough destructive power to level a building, the electromagnetic pulse it released unleashed stirred up an invisible storm that swept through most of the electronic equipment at the Firemoth headquarters, temporarily paralyzing them and adding a breathtaking touch to this silent contest.

　Witnessing this scene, Alicia and Eden felt a mix of emotions.

　They were both genuinely amazed by Moros's wisdom and methods, and worried about the sudden attack on the Firemoth headquarters.

　However, they also knew that Moros was acting on their behalf to protect their interests, so neither Miss Pink Fairy nor Eden chose to remain silent and did not offer any advice.

　On the other side, Kevin and the heroes who chose to stand with the Moth of Fire watched as the electronic devices were temporarily paralyzed by the electromagnetic pulse, their brows furrowed and their expressions unusually solemn.

　Su stood on the floating platform constructed of Honkai energy, quietly observing everything before him, his eyes revealing deep thought.

　As a psycho-sensory fusion warrior skilled in analysis, he keenly realized that this incident was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.

　"Moros's move is undoubtedly a stern warning to us, and an open challenge to the entire Moth of Fire's stance."

　Compared to Su's calm analysis, Qianjie's reaction was more direct and intense.

　He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

　"Hahaha... Necromancer... Hahaha... I will never let you go! You wait, I will settle this score with you sooner or later!"

　Qianjie's maniacal laughter echoed across the sky, his voice filled with the determination to fight, as if he were about to charge at the steel behemoth that had turned its bow and was gradually moving away, and engage in a thrilling duel with it.

　Faced with Qianjie's intense fighting spirit, Kevin and Sue had to temporarily put aside their own thoughts and join hands to stop this hot-blooded warrior to prevent him from making any impulsive moves.

　Kevin and his group could see clearly that since the necromancer chose to use missiles equipped with EMP warheads instead of powerful Honkai energy missiles, it was enough to show that this was merely a demonstration, not a real declaration of war.
