Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The reason is quite simple.

　For the higher-ups of the Firemoth, the existence of the Fifth Divine Key - the Key of Stasis - the Dormancy of All Things was already an open secret, as were the [Stigmata Project] and the [Fire Seed Project].

　Since they were fully aware of the existence of these plans, these high-ranking bureaucrats, like moths to a flame, could naturally understand Dr. May's deeper meaning.

　In Dr. Mei's eyes, only hibernation pods driven by the Stasis Key can safely survive the catastrophe of the end times.

　These high-ranking bureaucrats, like moths drawn to a flame, were not entirely without interest in hibernation pods.

　However, Dr. Mei used an iron fist and a bloody lesson to sternly warn them that the hibernation pod was not something they could covet.

　Dr. Mei is willing to pay any price for the continuation of human civilization and to defeat the Honkai.

　Compared to these bureaucrats, those technicians and

　Fusion warriors undoubtedly play a more crucial role in rebuilding human civilization.

　Therefore, given the extreme scarcity of hibernation pods, Dr. Mei naturally reserved the opportunity to use them for these more important groups.

　Faced with the fusion warriors' raised swords, the bureaucrats had no choice but to submit.

　They are not the Moth-like parliamentarians who once wielded enormous influence in various traditional powers.

　Today, all the traditional powers have long since become dust in history.

　In this situation, the bureaucrats who had been promoted by Dr. May naturally had few bargaining chips left to rely on when facing the leader who had once promoted them, the moth that chased the flame.

　At least until the Fusion Warriors explicitly state their support for them, this is all they can do.

　Regarding the use of hibernation pods, the Fusion Warriors' attitude was highly consistent with Dr. May's.

　Only those who play an indispensable role in the reconstruction of human civilization can use hibernation pods to escape the apocalypse.

　These dispensable bureaucrats have no right to take up those precious hibernation pod slots.

　Guided by this consensus, a delicate balance gradually emerged within the Fire-Chasing Moths.

　Dr. Mei's authority and determination, coupled with the absolute power of the integrated warrior force, forced those unscrupulous bureaucrats to curb their greed and instead seek a path to survival that suited them under Dr. Mei's blueprint.

　This is precisely why they are so concerned about Project Ark.

　In Dr. May's plan, this plan was seen as the best way for them to escape the threat of the end of the world, and also the most feasible solution.

　But now, with the executors of Project Ark confirmed, these bureaucrats' hopes have been dashed.

　When their own interests are seriously threatened, even if they know that this action will hinder the Fire Moth and even the entire human civilization, these bureaucrats still decide to proactively leak relevant information to the Fire Moth's enemy force—the necromancers.

　Their intentions are crystal clear: if Project Ark cannot ensure their escape from the threat of the end, then they would rather let the spaceship carrying the spark of human civilization turn to ashes.

　Unfortunately, these bureaucrats failed to accurately grasp the subtle tacit understanding between Morros and Dr. May.

　Before defeating the common enemy, the Herrscher of the End, both the necromancer and Dr. May, despite their deep-seated animosity, would maintain due restraint and patience as long as the other did not cross that insurmountable line.

　It is obvious that Project Ark does not cross Moros's bottom line.

　Vervier, this genius creator, always made a habit of leaving herself a backup plan when creating each piece.

　The Ark ship, which had already been solemnly handed over to Dr. Mei, would naturally be no exception.

　With this backup plan, Velvi was able to track the exact location of the Ark at any time.

　Once the final judgment is over, if Moros still has enough energy, he will naturally be able to easily obtain this crucial information from Velvi.

　At that time, the Ark ship, which bears the heavy responsibility of continuing human civilization, will undoubtedly fall into his control.

　Conversely, if the necromancer suffers severe damage in the final judgment, then it wouldn't be a big deal to spare the ark ship.

　The imaginary energy tidal zone surrounding the solar system, personally laid out by the Cocoon of the End, firmly seals off the entire galaxy. No matter how hard the Ark tries, it will be impossible to break through this barrier and escape the solar system.

　Therefore, for Moros, temporarily shelving the Ark Project becomes the wisest choice.

　Therefore, when the bureaucrats in Canberra reported to him on the various information about the Ark Project, Moros only responded with a brief "I understand," and then devoted himself wholeheartedly to the intense preparations to fight against the Herrscher of the End and the Cocoon of the End.

　Long ago, he had already established a plan to confront the Herrscher of the End and the Cocoon of the End, with the Undead Legion at its core and relying on the [Legion Power].

　Today, despite the changing circumstances, this strategic plan remains an important guiding principle for necromancers when facing the threat of the end.

　Even though he has now successfully transformed into a vampire lord with astonishing spellcasting abilities through the [Vampire Transformation Ritual], Moros remains steadfast in his strategy of using the undead army and [Legion Power] as the core to fight against the Herrscher of the End and the Cocoon of the End, without wavering in the slightest.

　This is also something that can't be helped.

　If the opponent were only the Herrscher of the End, whose strength was limited to the peak of demigods, then the necromancer, aided by a group of heroic fusion warriors, might dare to take a risk and adopt a more aggressive tactic in hopes of securing the final victory.

　But there is no if in reality.

　Faced with the Cocoon of the End, whose power rivals that of a Star God, Moros, knowing he had no chance of winning, had no choice but to adopt a more cautious tactical approach.

　Clearly, of all the battle strategies he devised, none could guarantee his safety more than the original plan for a decisive battle.

Chapter 699 The Sacred Mark Project

　Final revision

　Moros has her own final battle plan, and Dr. May certainly has her own final battle strategy.

　In preparation for the upcoming final battle, she also formulated a series of detailed and meticulous strategic plans.

　Since the twelfth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Erosion, Rin, used her controlled Moth of Fire defense system to cruelly launch Honkai energy fission bombs, originally prepared to fight against Herrschers, into human settlements around the world, causing severe damage to human civilization, those wise people who barely survived by sealing the Herrscher of Erosion with the combined efforts of Hua and Mei have held a deep pessimism about the future of the war between humanity and the Honkai.

　With the devastating loss of over 90% of industrial capacity and the vast majority of the population, the backbone of human civilization has been broken, and overcoming the collapse seems to have become an impossible task.

　Dr. Mei also has a clear understanding of this.

　That's why she spared no effort in publicizing the glorious achievement of the Fire Moth in defeating the Thirteenth Herrscher, Alicia, at a minimal cost, in order to boost morale and inspire people.

　If we don't do this, human civilization might perish in the abyss of despair before the arrival of the Herald of the End.

　Just like the mass crime incident triggered by the sudden massive power outage in New York in 1997.

　During those long, dark 24 hours, hospital patients were unable to receive vital medical treatment due to the power outage, and their lives flickered helplessly.

　The malfunction of traffic lights and lighting systems exacerbated the city's chaos, leading to a series of traffic accidents and plunging the entire city into a state of disorder.

　This is just the tip of the iceberg of the disaster.

　Even more terrifying is that during the power outage, the dark side of human nature, like a wild beast unleashed, raged through the streets and alleys of New York.

　Starting in Brooklyn, the whole of New York City went completely crazy.

　In Crown Heights, Brooklyn, 75 stores were looted in just five blocks, while in Bushwick, a Brooklyn neighborhood, rabid looters even burned down an entire block.

　When police officers took to the streets to try to maintain order, they found themselves completely unable to organize any effective action plan.

　The streets of Brooklyn are filled with local Black people carrying all sorts of stolen goods.

　The police could only try to arrest some of the robbers around them, but the others were ignored.

　However, if only the person is taken away without the stolen goods, the stolen goods will soon be taken away by others.

　According to subsequent statistics, a total of 1616 stores in New York were looted, the fire department dealt with 1037 fires, property damage was estimated at $1.5 million, and the police arrested 3776 people.

　The then mayor of New York City called it "a night of terror."

　This is under normal circumstances, without any large-scale power outages due to external crises.

　Imagine, on this blue planet, in this apocalyptic moment when the final chapter of the Honkai Judgment is about to begin, how heavy and profound must the despair and fear be in the hearts of those survivors who have barely made it to the end?

　In such a situation, without enough encouraging good news to offset this despair and fear, the future will become unpredictable, and it is really hard to say what will happen.

　This is also an important reason why Dr. Mei decided to reveal Alicia's Herrscher identity.

　Although she knew this action would severely anger the necromancer, she still took this step without hesitation for the sake of the survival of human civilization.

　Getting back to the main point, with a decisive strategy for the Moths of Flame in hand, Dr. May, with her personality, would naturally spare no effort to perfect it.

　For this, she was even willing to pay an extra price to obtain help from Möbius.

　"Dr. Mebius, I believe that some of the details regarding the [Stigmata Project] need to be revised..."

　Faced with Dr. May's yet another suggestion for revision, Möbius frowned and glanced at her impatiently.

　This is the eighteenth time Dr. Mei has requested modifications to the [Stigmata Project]!

　Last time, due to the change of the executor of the [Stigmata Project] from Sue to Kevin, this crucial change made it necessary to adjust the project itself accordingly, which she was able to understand and accept.

　But this time, Dr. Mebius proposed revisions again, citing the plan's lack of universality, which Mebius found unacceptable.

　"Mei, do you really believe that the [Stigmata Project] can save every single person in human civilization? Don't be so naive!"

　Staring intently into Dr. Mei's pale purple eyes, Mebius pointed out the limitations of the [Stigmata Project] without reservation.

　"The [Stigmata Project] can only save those lucky ones who possess Stigmata, while those without Stigmata are destined to become victims of the birth of the Spirit Adam!"

　“I know, Dr. Mebius, I know everything.”

　Dr. Mebius did not refute his words.

　The "Stigmata Project" was the culmination of her and Mebius's hard work, so how could she not know what the consequences of actually implementing this project would be?

　However, for the sake of human civilization

　She was willing to give everything for the sake of Ming's survival, even if it meant enduring endless curses and scorn.

　"Dr. Möbius, you and I both know that the [Stigmata Project] was merely a last resort, a desperate measure. If the next era of human civilization can transcend the [Stigmata Project]..."

　Thinking about what the next era of human civilization's leap forward with the [Stigmata Project] truly meant, Dr. Mei's eyes dimmed.

　Kevin...

　However, Dr. Mei is still Dr. Mei after all, and she quickly adjusted her emotions.

　"We should grant the next generation of human civilization the right to make its own choices."

　Seeing the unwavering determination in Dr. May's eyes, Möbius opened his mouth, but ultimately nodded, accepting Dr. May's explanation.

　"Ha, the next era of human civilization won't thank you."

　Although that's what she said, Snake, dressed in a white coat, still chose to compromise.

　"Fine, it's not too much trouble anyway, I'll help you with this."

　As Mebius made his modifications, the data on the screen continued to scroll, and a new and more complete [Stigmata Project] gradually took shape.

　Meanwhile, her conversation with Dr. May continued.

　"In this revision, I will try to improve the plan's universality, but as you know, this does not mean we can save everyone."

　Mebius's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

　"Moreover, even if the plan succeeds, humanity in the next era will face unprecedented challenges."

　With a slight nod, Dr. Mei's gaze grew even more profound, as if it could pierce through the heavy fog of time and look directly into that distant and unknown future.

　“I know, but I believe that if given a chance, they have the potential to create their own miracles.”

Chapter 700 Dr. Mei's Final Plan

　When the nineteenth revised version of the [Stigmata Project] was finally born through the joint efforts of Mebius and Mei, the clock hands had just passed the thirteenth day and night that they had worked together to revise the project.

　"Give."

　He spoke softly, and after copying the encrypted USB drive containing the final revisions of the [Stigmata Project], Mebius handed it to Dr. Mei.

　After completing this action, she stood up gracefully and stretched leisurely, seemingly releasing the fatigue accumulated from days of work.

　Gazing at the final revised version of the "Holy Mark Project," a culmination of countless hours of hard work and wisdom, a complex and subtle emotion involuntarily flashed across Dr. Mei's eyes.

　However, Dr. May is still Dr. May, the leader of the Moth of Fire known for her calmness and wisdom.

　She quickly buried these emotional ripples deep within the boundless sea of ​​her heart, remaining outwardly calm as if no emotional fluctuations had ever existed.

　Taking the USB drive from Mebius, Dr. May bid farewell in a concise yet firm tone, then prepared to embark on her journey back to the headquarters of the Firemoth.

　As the leader of the Fire Moths, the fact that she personally came to Möbius's research institute and devoted so much time and energy to it shows the immeasurable importance of the [Stigmata Project] to the survival of all human civilization.

　Now that the final version of the [Stigmata Project] has been finalized, she naturally wants to bring this valuable achievement back to the headquarters of the Firemoth and transform it into a powerful force to fight against the Honkai and lead human civilization forward.

　However, at this crucial moment, Dr. Mei suddenly felt a sudden wave of dizziness, as if an invisible force was pulling at her body, causing her to sway slightly involuntarily.

　"Mei? Are you alright?"

　Upon seeing this, a knowing glint flashed in Mebius's snake-like eyes, which were a gradient of pink and green.

　No wonder she was in such a hurry...

　In a flash, she stepped forward and firmly supported Dr. Mei's arm to prevent her from collapsing at this critical moment.

　Dr. Mebius remained silent for a long time when asked his question.
