Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　At the same time, this most powerful divine apostle under the command of the Cocoon of the End also used the power of the resurrected Herrscher of Flame to hurl large swaths of flames at the necromancer, intending to completely engulf him with the supreme power of fire.

　The flames of the Herrscher of Flame are not ordinary flames, but rather originate from the power of [manipulating molecular motion], and their intensity is comparable to the thermonuclear reaction inside a star.

　However, even such an astonishing attack failed to penetrate the layers of magical shields covering Moros's body.

　Legion Sanctuary!

　A torrent of souls!

　[Mysterious Armor]!

　……

　Those complex and powerful defensive spells made even the Herrscher of the End feel a sense of awe. In the pursuit of immortality and the escape from death, necromancers were perhaps the most persistent and extreme beings in the world.

　In comparison, those two insignificant beings, Kevin and Kosmo, who were firmly bound by the power of [Time], paled in comparison.

　Indeed, just as this gray world quietly replaced the original colorful world, Kevin and Kosmo were not spared either, frozen in that moment by the power of time.

　They lack both the means to combat the tide of time and the power to transcend it.

　Therefore, in the face of time, the ruthless arbiter, they are like fish on a chopping board, helpless and powerless to fight back.

　This is why, in the original world, Kevin and other heroes, despite their best efforts, only managed to buy a brief and insignificant twelve hours for the survival of human civilization.

　Under the immense power of time, even when controlled by an AI that can be described as idiotic, the Herrscher of the End can easily crush any opponent who cannot resist the power of time.

　Just as the Herrscher of the End was finding the necromancer's tenacious defense increasingly difficult to handle, Moros also did not relax for a moment.

　Although his previous, devastating attack failed to finish off the Herrscher of the End, leaving him slightly disappointed, forcing her to reveal her final trump card—the power of [Time]—was an acceptable outcome for a necromancer.

　After confirming that the Herrscher of the End had no other options, Moros decided to push the battle to its final decisive stage.

　However, before that, to ensure everything goes smoothly, he first needs to free Kevin and Kosmo, who are bound by the power of time.

　They are, after all, two powerful beings at the demigod level. Although they cannot resist the power of time, Kevin and Kosmo's strength should not be underestimated.

　At this critical moment in preparing to annihilate the Herrscher of the End, unleashing their combat power is undoubtedly necessary.

　As he pondered this, Moros raised the [Netherworld Staff], which emitted a faint, eerie light.

　The next moment, several torrents of pitch-black souls rushed towards the Herrscher of the End.

　Liberating Kevin and Kosmo is necessary, but doing so will not be easy.

　If they cannot temporarily force back the Herrscher of the End, even the necromancer who is only one step away from the limit of demigod...

　It is also difficult to do.

Chapter 731 The Stalemate

　When the Herrscher of the End began to truly mobilize the power of [Time], Moros also felt an unprecedented sense of difficulty.

　The attack that suddenly leaps out of any space outside the time field constructed by the [Time Distortion Field] poses an extremely terrifying threat, both for its earth-shattering power and its unpredictable suddenness.

　Even in this situation, it was thanks to his unwavering maintenance of the legendary spell [Time Warp Field].

　Without this legendary spell, these fierce attacks would not have merely appeared outside the temporal field, but would have descended directly upon him, posing an even more deadly threat.

　Even so, attacks on the necromancer's magical defense system continued to increase in frequency.

　In just three minutes, fifteen attacks broke through the magic defense system and landed on the magic shield generated by [Legion's Protection].

　However, the Herrscher of the End also didn't gain much advantage.

　Realizing that it would be difficult to effectively resist the Herrscher of the End's elusive offensive, Moros made a decisive move and adopted an offensive strategy instead of defense, deciding to engage in a mutually damaging exchange of blows with the opponent.

　While stabilizing his magical defense system to ensure his safety, he also continuously unleashed powerful spells that posed a threat to the Herrscher of the End, giving the Herrscher of the End, whose appearance was identical to Kiana in the original world, a small magical shock.

　In this gray-white world constructed by the Herrscher of the End through the power of [Time], the battle between Moros and this most powerful divine apostle under the Cocoon of the End has reached a height that is difficult for others to reach.

　Every minute, every second, there was a fierce attack that could easily wipe out a modern metropolis, which was relentlessly hurled at the opponent by both sides.

　However, even such a devastating attack is, in most cases, intercepted before it hits the opponent's spell shield or Honkai energy shield, thus failing to cause any substantial damage.

　With the power of [Time], the Herrscher of the End can recreate the powers wielded by the twelve Herrschers who previously descended upon Earth, excluding the Herrscher of Origin, Alicia.

　It is not difficult to understand why she was able to intercept most of the spells cast by Moros, relying on these twelve unique divine powers.

　The necromancers, on the other hand, were equally formidable.

　[Soul Circulation], [Town Portal], [Dimensional Journey]...

　His diverse and varied spells make him no less capable than the Herald of the End.

　Furthermore, because both sides had extremely abundant reserves of magic power and Honkai energy, neither the Herrscher of the End nor the necromancer was able to inflict a decisive blow on the other for the time being.

　However, in order to prevent their opponents from taking advantage of the situation and posing an unexpected threat, they all put pressure on each other in an attempt to suppress the other's offensive.

　However, this stalemate soon took a turn for the better.

　As the battle continued, Moros skillfully lulled the Herrscher of the End into a false sense of security, making her believe that his methods were limited to this.

　In this situation, he successfully brought himself closer to Kevin and Kosmo, who were imprisoned in the bizarre world shaped by the power of [Time], to the extent he expected.

　Then, the necromancer unhesitatingly cast [Dimensional Journey], instantly teleporting to the very center of the two heroes.

　At that very moment, the time field centered on him suddenly expanded, enveloping Kevin and Kosmo within it.

　The moment the time field constructed by the legendary spell [Time Distortion Field] gently swept over the two heroes, these two powerful beings of the demigod level were immediately freed from their confinement.

　"grateful."

　"..."

　After nodding in greeting, Kevin and Kosmo immediately threw themselves into the battle to help Moros fight against the Herrscher of the End.

　Admittedly, they have no way to resist the torrent of time, nor do they possess the power to transcend time. Once they leave this temporal realm, they will still be firmly imprisoned by the power of [Time].

　But within this temporal realm meticulously constructed by Moros, they were able to unleash their full combat power and devote themselves wholeheartedly to this decisive battle that would determine the ultimate fate of human civilization.

　At this moment when the battle between Moros and the Herrscher of the End is becoming increasingly intense, the addition of the two demigods, Kevin and Kosmo, has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the battle and added a significant weight to the scales of victory.

　With the addition of these two heroes, the necromancer was able to free up more of his attention from defense and devote it to the offensive against the Herrscher of the End.

　Conversely, the Herrscher of the End had to divert some of her attention to deal with the fierce attacks launched by Kevin and Kosmo from time to time.

　Although these attacks, suppressed by the power of [Time], were far less threatening than Moros's unpredictable spells, she dared not be careless in the slightest under the necromancer's watchful gaze, nor could she allow their attacks to land on her.

　Above that seemingly indestructible Honkai energy shield.

　45 minutes after the arrival of the Herrscher of the End.

　After drinking the third bottle of [Magic Well Elixir], the solemnity in Moros's eyes deepened.

　With the addition of Kevin and Kosmo, he was finally able to barely suppress the Herrscher of the End in the previous fierce battle.

　Although this suppression was like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the brink of collapse, the fact that he, with strength just one step away from the limit of demigods, could restrain a terrifying being standing at the peak of demigods was already an extremely difficult achievement.

　However, Moros felt no joy whatsoever as a result.

　He knew very well that even if he temporarily ignored the Cocoon of the End, who was definitely closely monitoring the progress of the battle, the current battlefield situation was far from as optimistic as it seemed.

　Yes, with the full assistance of Kevin and Kosmo, he successfully suppressed the Herrscher of the End for the time being.

　However, this suppression came at the cost of an astonishing consumption of magical energy.

　If any substantial results can be achieved in the process, then this sacrifice will certainly be worthwhile.

　But now, Moros was unusually clear-headed; he knew that they had not achieved any substantial results.

　They had tried their best to break through the seemingly indestructible Honkai energy shield of the Herrscher of the End, inflicting heavy damage on her.

　However, under the incredible power of the Herrscher of Death, the damage caused by those attacks was quickly restored to its original state.

　With the Honkai energy shield rising again, all their previous efforts and achievements vanished into thin air.

　After this devastating blow, the Herrscher of the End has clearly become more vigilant and cautious.

　Therefore, Moros and his group were never able to find another opportunity to inflict a serious blow on the Herrscher of the End.

　It is obvious that in this de facto war of attrition, neither the necromancer nor the fusion warrior can possibly be a match for the Herrscher of the End, who possesses the Herrscher Core.

Chapter 732 The Changing Battle Situation and the Heroic Fight

　This can't go on like this!

　Moros had already made up his mind to unleash a torrent of souls, using the souls of 100,000 humans as the material for his spell, towards the Herrscher of the End.

　Rather than continuing this tug-of-war that appears to give him the upper hand but is actually a step-by-step march towards destruction, he would rather reveal a new trump card and try his best to annihilate the Herrscher of the End, whose appearance is strikingly similar to Kiana in the original world.

　Of course, this decision also hides a sense of helplessness and urgency.

　The current stalemate is not only constantly consuming the necromancers' magic power and scroll reserves, but also silently reducing the size of the undead army.

　Every attack that lands on the magical shield constructed by the legendary spell [Legion's Protection] will reduce hundreds or thousands of undead units to nothingness.

　As far as the undead legion is concerned, the power of [Legion Power] can still be guaranteed.

　However, if the war continues to drag on like this, it is hard to say whether the undead legion will be able to unleash a devastating attack in the future that would be enough to annihilate a demigod at the peak of power.

　Having already made up his mind, Moros naturally did not hesitate.

　Kevin, Kosmo, I need you two to hold off the Herrscher of the End for fifteen seconds.

　Using the power of magic, the necromancer clearly conveyed his commands to the two heroes.

　Then, without waiting for Kevin and Kosmo to respond, he unhesitatingly poured out a large amount of magic power, greatly expanding the range of the time field constructed by the legendary spell [Time Warp Field].

　Moros knew very well that when facing such a terrifying enemy as the Herrscher of the End, the two heroes would never refuse his request.

　After all, having personally experienced the power of [Time] wielded by the most powerful divine apostle under the Cocoon of the End, they understood that without the support of the time domain he constructed, they would probably not even have a chance to struggle against the Herrscher of the End.

　The unfolding events perfectly validated the necromancer's prediction.

　As the temporal field extended by the [Time Warp Field] expanded rapidly, Kevin and Kosmo did not hesitate to rush towards the Herrscher of the End.

　They certainly understood that the next fifteen seconds would be an incredibly difficult test.

　But they understood even more clearly that if they did not follow the necromancer's instructions to delay the Herrscher of the End, the battle would inevitably end in a crushing defeat.

　Yes, not only had Moros discerned the perilous nature of the current battle, but Kevin and Kosmo had also come to realize that continuing this stalemate would be extremely detrimental to them.

　Moreover, these two heroes standing on the side of the Fire Moth were well aware that once the situation became irreversible, the necromancer would never fight to the death like they did.

　Without the magical support of necromancers, they were simply unable to confront the Herrscher of the End, who wielded the power of [Time].

　Therefore, for the victory in the battle, for the Moth of Fire, for the continuation of human civilization, and for everything they cherished, Kevin and Kosmo resolutely decided that even if they faced the threat of death, they would restrain the Herrscher of the End for fifteen seconds.

　Hopefully, the necromancer still has a trick up his sleeve...

　With this thought in mind, Kevin resolutely faced the Herrscher of the End.

　Beside him, Kosmo, who resembled a demon in his man-made collapse state, followed closely behind, charging together towards that terrifying enemy that inspired despair.

　Faced with the fierce attacks of Kevin and Kosmo, the Herrscher of the End dared not be careless in the slightest.

　With the necromancer watching her intently from a distance, she dared not act as rashly as her contemporaries in this world, allowing the heroes to attack at will.

　In the very first second, the battle horn officially sounded—

　With the fused [Parvati] gene, Kevin unleashed a barrage of ice bullets like a glacier collapsing, colliding fiercely with the raging flames spewed out by the Herrscher of the End using the power of the revived Seventh Herrscher - Herrscher of Flame, igniting the flames of war.

　In the next second, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly tense.

　In the state of artificial collapse, Kosmo completely transformed into a terrifying demon.

　However, it was precisely this dedication that pushed his power to unimaginable limits.

　His hands, which had transformed into sharp claws, drew chilling trajectories in the air, precisely and ruthlessly shattering every attack unleashed by the Herrscher of the End, demonstrating awe-inspiring combat skills.

　In the third second, as if realizing something, the Herrscher of the End's eyes suddenly sharpened.

　She shifted her attention away from Kevin and Kosmo, fixing it firmly on the necromancer not far away.

　Seeing this, Kevin and Kosmo's hearts sank.

　They knew this meant their current attacks did not pose a sufficient threat to the Herrscher of the End, and she still had enough energy to focus on other potential threats.

　The two realized that if the stalemate continued, they would not be able to effectively restrain the Herrscher of the End, nor would they be able to buy the necromancer time to unleash his counterattack.

　Therefore, after exchanging a glance, Kevin and Kosmo made a bold decision in tacit agreement—

　Engage in close combat with the Herrscher of the End.

　They were well aware, of course, that such a decision carried enormous risks, and that a single misstep could lead to utter ruin.

　But Kevin and Kosmo were willing to take such a risk for everything they cherished deep in their hearts.
