Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Before she finished speaking, Miss I, who had logged in from the top account, gracefully stepped in front of the necromancer, slightly raised her exquisite and perfect face, and gazed at him with eyes full of love and admiration.

　At this moment, only Moros remained in her eyes; all the disturbances and noise of the outside world ceased to exist.

　Immediately afterwards, it seemed that Vervi had made an important decision.

　She slowly tiptoed and gently pressed her lips to Moros's lips.

　The kiss was gentle and affectionate, like a spring breeze brushing across a lake, creating gentle ripples.

　It is not only an expression of Vervière's love for Morros, but also her firm commitment to walk hand in hand with him through thick and thin in the future.

　Feeling the deep affection from Vervière, a tender light flashed in Moros's eyes.

　He grasped Vervi's hand tightly, giving her an equally firm response.

　Just then, Alicia stepped forward with graceful and light steps.

　May your path be illuminated by stars. May your footprints be adorned with blooming flowers. You are a gift from God, and the world is made more beautiful by you.

　After saying that, the pink fairy reached out and gently stroked her lover's cheek.

　Then, she tiptoed and gave him a kiss full of love.

　As Moros felt the pure and beautiful kiss from Alicia, as fresh as morning dew, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

　At that moment, he realized that all his efforts and sacrifices had been worthwhile.

　Then, Eden stepped forward with a calm and unhurried pace.

　Her voice was gentle yet powerful, seemingly able to penetrate all obstacles and reach the depths of Moros's heart.

　"May time stand still at this moment, and may you, my beloved, shine as brightly as gold!"

　From Moros's perspective, Eden's bright golden eyes shone with unwavering trust and overflowing earnest expectations.

　The light seemed to pierce through the mists of time, revealing the moment he would achieve a glorious victory in the battle to come.

　This profound trust and boundless expectation, like an invisible force, surged into the necromancer's heart, infusing him with unprecedented courage.

　It was at this moment that Möbius, with a unique and calm demeanor, stepped into this circle of intertwined emotions.

　Despite feeling an indescribable shyness welling up inside her, she mustered her courage and spoke in a tone that was half-joking and half-serious.

　"My love, you'd better come back alive and don't let me down."

　Realizing what she had said, she added another sentence as if burying her head in the sand, trying to hide her true feelings.

　"This is entirely because you have consistently provided me with ample research funding, not because... I have any special feelings for you..."

　However, as the words reached her lips, she seemed to realize the powerlessness and inadequacy in her words, and so she stopped abruptly.

　Amidst Mebius's slightly shy yet incredibly sincere blessings, Moros deeply felt a love and support emanating from the depths of her heart—a love that was distinct from, yet equally profound, that came from the other three beautiful girls.

　This love, with its unique blend of scientific rationality and emotional sensitivity, warmed his heart.

　"Thank you, my beloved ones. With you by my side, I have nothing to fear."

　With a deep look at everyone around him, Moros transformed this affection and blessing into his aspirations for the future and his unwavering belief in overcoming the end.

　Then, his figure disappeared into the brilliance of the teleportation spell.

　As the hands of time mercilessly slid past the last moment, the entire Earth-Moon system seemed to be covered by a thick curtain of fear, immersed in a deathly silence.

　The sky above New Atlantis, which was originally stained with Honkai energy and was a dark purple canopy, suddenly split open with a huge crack resembling the gaping maw of an abyss, mercilessly devouring every inch of light around it and shrouding the entire moon in a suffocating atmosphere of oppression.

　Within this crack, a terrifying power beyond words quietly seeped in, like a call from the abyss, causing the entire starry sky to tremble.

　The Herrscher of the End, the Herrscher who bears the destiny of ending civilization, finally reveals her true form in this moment of despair.

　She had long, silvery-white hair that flowed like a cascading silver river, reaching down to her hips, each strand shimmering with a star-like brilliance and mystery.

　The face is so exquisitely crafted that it resembles a doll, with every line perfectly placed yet still vivid. It is simply the most perfect masterpiece of the Collapse series.

　In those crystal-clear orange-yellow eyes, the golden cross seemed to penetrate the appearance of all things in the world, looking directly at their essence and soul.

　This Herrscher, endowed with supreme power and a unique personality by the Cocoon of the End, wore a magnificent and dazzling purple dress.

　The long dress was embroidered with intricate and mysterious golden patterns. These patterns intertwined and converged, resembling ancient and sacred prophetic totems, telling tales of the world.

　The end and rebirth reveal the mysteries and cycles of the universe.

　Above her head, a dazzling golden halo, like that of an angel, slowly floated, adding to her aura of holiness and inviolability.

　To some extent, the Herrscher of the End is indeed an angel, an apostle acting in accordance with the will of God, the Cocoon of the End.

　However, the mission she shoulders is not salvation, but destruction and end; she is an angel of destruction.

　The Herrscher of the End's body was surrounded by a faint purplish-red mist, interspersed with specks of flame, like the most dazzling yet most dangerous fireworks in the night sky, carrying a chilling aura of destruction.

　That was the terrifying power emanating from extremely concentrated Honkai energy, seemingly capable of devouring everything and turning the world into nothingness.

　If you look closely, you'll see that as the Herrscher of the End appeared, the moon dust surrounding her body was instantly annihilated by this power, turning into nothingness.

Chapter 719 Testing

　The Moon, New Atlantis airspace.

　Witnessing the terrifying force of the Herrscher of the End's arrival, Moros's heart sank to the bottom.

　The figure standing proudly in the void had a face exactly like the Kiana he remembered.

　However, the necromancer's keen intuition, gained through four leaps in life level, constantly warned him—

　This was the most formidable opponent he had ever faced.

　"The limit of demigods..."

　With difficulty, Moros, standing atop the head of the incarnation of death, uttered the heavy word and instinctively gripped the [Underworld Staff] that shimmered with a fluorescent green light.

　Although he had long anticipated that the strength of the Herrscher of the End would not be lower than the limit of a demigod, when this conjecture truly became a cruel reality, an indescribable bitterness still welled up in his heart.

　This battle will likely be exceptionally difficult...

　In the blink of an eye, the necromancer began casting battle spells, applying buffs to the 1.2 million undead army that had already formed a well-organized battle formation.

　Clearly, he didn't want to be the first unlucky one to face the Herrscher of the End head-on.

　With Moros's strength and the magic he possesses, even if such a thing were to happen, he could avoid suffering any real harm. But since he can let the Fire Moth bear this risk, why should he take the risk himself?

　After all, given the location where the Herrscher of the End has now descended, the forces of the Fire Moth will inevitably clash with him before his undead army does.

　As Moros predicted, due to its geographical location, Neo-Atlantis, being closer to the Herrscher of the End, was clearly more attractive to the Fire Moth than the undead legions that were gathered on the vast lunar surface outside Neo-Atlantis.

　Adhering to the principle of striking first, the highly automated defense systems of Neo-Atlania launched an attack on her the moment the Herrscher of the End arrived.

　Don't underestimate this probing attack. If it were in the past, when traditional powers dominated the world, this attack would have been enough to destroy the main force of any traditional power.

　Honkai Energy Electromagnetic Cannon, Honkai Energy Cannon, Honkai Energy Laser Cannon...

　Various cutting-edge Honkai energy technology weapon systems, under the precise command of the New Atlantean management AI, rapidly adjusted the direction and angle of their attacks.

　The next moment, a barrage of intense artillery fire, like a violent storm, rained down on the Herrscher of the End.

　However, to everyone's dismay, the artillery fire failed to cause her any real harm.

　The terrifying energy that was powerful enough to level a city vanished without a trace when it touched some invisible barrier around her body.

　Watching the fierce battle between humanity and the Honkai from the sidelines, the necromancer silently assessed the difference in strength between the two sides.

　He knew that even though Neo-Atlania had gathered the technological essence of human civilization and possessed such a powerful defense system, it still seemed insignificant and powerless when facing an existence like the Herrscher of the End.

　"Is this... the true limit of a demigod...?"

　Just as Neo-Atlan's defense system was preparing to launch an even more intense offensive, the Herrscher of the End finally made a move.

　She casually raised her hand, flicked her fingertips, and a dazzling Honkai energy ray, like a comet streaking across the night sky, instantly pierced through Neo Atlan's proud Honkai energy shield and seemingly indestructible alloy defense barrier, directly hitting its core area.

　Admittedly, sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.

　Therefore, Moros did not hear any sound.

　But what he witnessed was already shocking enough—

　The explosions and rising fireballs clearly revealed the severe damage Neo-Atlantis had suffered under the heavy blow from the Herrscher of the End.

　In fact, it does.

　The Herrscher of the End's attack sent tremors through the entire Neo-Atlantean continent.

　The incessant alarms from the management AI signaled the complete collapse of the core area's defense system.

　Just one attack, New Atlantis

　The unmanned automated defense system deployed by the US suffered extremely severe damage.

　All weapon systems deployed in the core area were wiped out in an instant.

　Worse still, this terrifying blow from the Herrscher of the End directly destroyed Neo Atlan's main Honkai energy reactor.

　The reason why New Atlantis can continue to operate now is entirely due to the fact that the city was designed with contingency plans in mind, and a backup Honkai energy reactor was reserved.

　Faced with the overwhelming power of the Herrscher of the End, if a human were to control the defense system, they would likely make mistakes due to the shock and fear in their hearts.

　But the new Atlantis's management AI won't.

　It will only strictly follow the pre-set program, mobilizing all remaining weapons and equipment in the city for a final resistance.

　Under the control of the management AI, the still-functioning turrets and launching devices roared once again, and all kinds of weapon systems launched their final counterattack.

　Honkai energy missiles streaked across the sky, hurtling towards the Herrscher of the End like a meteor shower.

　The high-energy laser beams resembled shimmering silver-white dragons, weaving together in the air to tear apart her seemingly impenetrable defenses.

　Metal projectiles, accelerated by the magnetic field, poured out like a dense rain, attempting to leave even the slightest crack on the Herrscher of the End's Honkai energy shield.

　However, all these attempts seem to have been in vain.

　The invisible Honkai energy shield surrounding the Herrscher of the End was like the Wailing Wall from mythology, intercepting all attacks.

　These attacks didn't even have a chance to cause a ripple on the shield's surface before they were completely disintegrated and vanished into the void, as if they had never existed.

　Meanwhile, the Herrscher of the End once again took action.

　Her second attack, like divine punishment, struck precisely at another area of ​​New Atlantis containing a large number of Honkai energy reactors.

　Although located on the far side of the moon, where there is no air to transmit sound waves, the explosion did not produce a deafening sound. However, the awe-inspiring release of energy turned the entire area into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye, with countless fragments and intense energy fluctuations scattering at an astonishing speed in the vacuum environment.

　This attack not only dealt another heavy blow to New Atlantis's defense system, but also drastically reduced the number of remaining Honkai reactors.

　The management AI urgently allocated the remaining backup Honkai energy reactors, making every effort to ensure that the city's life support and defense systems could continue to operate.

　However, the continuous heavy losses have forced some of the defense system's weapons and Honkai energy shields to cease operation, resulting in an unprecedented and severe weakening of the city's defensive capabilities.

　Watching Neo-Atlante fall into dire straits step by step under the attack of the Herrscher of the End, the Fusion Warriors, led by Kevin, felt extremely heavy-hearted.

　They have realized that New Atlantis' existing defense system alone is no match for the Herrscher of the End.

Chapter 720 The Offline Automatic Defense System

　Standing atop the hideous and terrifying dragon head that embodied death, Moros's expression was unusually solemn.

　With his formidable strength, which was only one step away from the limit of demigod, he could certainly see that the Herrscher of the End did not use any of her powers when facing the attacks launched by the advanced Honkai energy technology creations used by Neo Atlas.

　Throughout the entire process, the Herrscher of the End, who bore a striking resemblance to Kiana in the original world, effortlessly engaged in both attack and defense using only her pure Honkai energy manipulation skills.

　In other words, the barrage of artillery fire that could easily destroy the main force of any traditional superpower couldn't even make the Herrscher of the End take things seriously.

　This realization stirred up waves of emotion within the necromancer's mind.

　With such exquisite Honkai energy manipulation skills, coupled with the infinite Honkai energy supply granted by the Herrscher Core... we absolutely cannot engage in a war of attrition with her!

　The Herrscher core can continuously draw Honkai energy from the imaginary space to replenish the Herrscher's energy consumption.

　This is precisely the most terrifying advantage that Herrschers have over Fusion Warriors.

　In terms of Honkai energy reserves alone, even Kevin, who has not yet achieved the status of "savior" in the original world, cannot be compared with the most ordinary Herrscher.

　However, simply storing Honkai energy is one thing; how to efficiently utilize and precisely control this Honkai energy within a unit of time is another matter when it comes to measuring combat power.

　Any Heroic-level Fusion Warrior can unleash a powerful offensive that surpasses the limits of ordinary Herrschers in a very short time, thanks to their limited Honkai energy.

　This is precisely why Kevin said that "defeating the Herrscher is not difficult for the heroes."

　However, these problems that plague ordinary Herrschers do not exist for Herrschers of the End.

　Judging from the Honkai energy manipulation skills currently displayed by the Herrscher of the End, she can easily deal with the extreme burst of power from a Heroic-class Fusion Warrior.

　This means that if Moros wants to defeat the Herrscher of the End, he cannot simply rely on Kevin and other heroes belonging to the Firemoth, as well as the power of other fusion warriors.
