Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　While retaining this plan, Moros also meticulously prepared another scheme—the Quantum Sea Exploration Project.

　He dispatched his loyal undead forces directly into the chaotic and unpredictable Sea of ​​Quanta to personally search for traces of Sa.

　As soon as Moros gave the order, the horde of vengeful spirits erupted into a frenzy.

　They were like a pack of ferocious beasts imprisoned in endless darkness, finally given a chance to be freed.

　These beings, formed from souls, resentment, and the magic of death, driven by an endless thirst for slaughter and unwavering loyalty to their master, charged toward the deep and mysterious rift.

　Under Moros's watchful gaze, the first vengeful spirit rushed into the crevice without hesitation, followed by the second, the third...

　They surged forth like a black tide, endlessly flowing into the unknown veil.

　The moment each vengeful spirit enters the rift, it seems to be drawn by a mysterious and powerful force. Its form twists and dissipates amidst the bizarre and fantastical scenes, only to reassemble in another space-time, traversing the fragments of space-time in a way that transcends the laws of mortal physics, in search of the traces of Suo.

　Standing silently at the edge of the crack, his gaze was deep and cold, as if he could pierce through the mists of time and space and see the every move of those vengeful spirits in the quantum sea.

　He knew that this exploration was full of unknowns and dangers, but it also meant endless opportunities and possibilities.

　And he is ready to meet all challenges.

Chapter 797 Development Plan of the Venus Colony Project

　The Quantum Sea Exploration Project is undoubtedly an undertaking that will take an extremely long time to bear fruit.

　However, considering the potential benefits of this plan compared to the investment required to carry it out, the effort is undoubtedly worthwhile.

　After all, aside from hundreds of level-three undead units—the Wraiths—Moros's only contribution was to personally cast a spell to open the gate to the Sea of ​​Quanta.

　Don't think it's a simple matter just because in the intrinsic world, destiny, anti-entropy, and the world serpent can all find paths to the sea of ​​quantum mechanics.

　In fact, truly stepping into that quantum sea full of unknowns and chaos is far more difficult than ordinary people can imagine.

　Even those interstellar empires that span multiple star systems and possess immense power face insurmountable difficulties when attempting to reach this mysterious realm.

　Even worse, in most cases, those technologically advanced interstellar civilizations, despite investing enormous human and material resources, often have no choice but to admit their failure in this research project.

　However, for Moros, who was proficient in teleportation magic, this was almost a given for a technologically advanced civilization.

　The seemingly insurmountable problem presents a completely different picture.

　Given his current spellcasting ability, which has already reached the limit of demigods, such a spellcasting cannot be said to be easy, but it can be considered as a piece of cake.

　Thanks to the existence of the hero panel, even if those vengeful spirits have entered the Quantum Sea, the necromancer can switch to their perspective at any time through a mental link and learn about the information they have discovered.

　Therefore, after casting the swarm of vengeful spirits into the Sea of ​​Quanta, Moros directly opened a remote portal to the original balloon city that could accommodate 30 people.

　It is well known that, given abundant resources, the reproduction rate of a race will increase rapidly at an astonishing exponential rate.

　The fifteen balloon cities floating in different regions of Venus's atmosphere are the best evidence of this.

　Their original design concept was precisely to properly address the challenges of a potential future population surge.

　However, in less than twenty years, the population caps set by these alien colonies were already approaching their limit.

　Faced with this thorny problem, the solutions are nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

　However, for necromancers who regard human souls as magical materials, attempting to control the population growth rate of these alien colonies is tantamount to personally stifling the growth potential of their own soul reserves.

　This was clearly something he could not tolerate.

　Therefore, only one path remained for Moros—to build more balloon cities to accommodate the ever-increasing, nearly overflowing population.

　As a product of the perfect fusion of Honkai energy technology and magic, the construction of the Balloon City naturally cannot be separated from the technical support provided by Velvet and Mebius.

　This is why he is now opening a remote portal to travel to the original Venusian colony to meet with them.

　Indeed, through magical communication, Moros has reached a consensus with his two beloved partners.

　They plan to join forces again to build a balloon city that is expected to accommodate 200,000 people.

　Then, the necromancer will use this balloon city as a template for war machines and input it into the [Blacksmith Shop].

　From then on, he could purchase these colonies that could float leisurely in the atmosphere of Venus directly from the blacksmith shop at the cost of a huge amount of Ashan gold coins, thus calmly dealing with the increasingly severe challenge of population expansion.

　Having already communicated extensively in magical communications beforehand, Velvey and Mebius readily agreed to Moros's request.

　Or rather, given the deep emotional bond between them, such a request would certainly not be refused even without prior communication.

　However, given the convenient means of real-time communication, necromancers naturally wouldn't leave it idle.

　Having experienced four leaps in the level of life, his wisdom has reached an unprecedented height.

　Moros was well aware that communication and exchange were irreplaceable in a relationship.

　Getting back to the main point, while setting out to build this balloon city, which was designed from the beginning as a template for a war machine and was destined to be sacrificed, his thoughts had already drifted to a more far-reaching strategic plan.

　The necromancer was keenly aware that while the current technological reserves and resources could temporarily alleviate the pressure of the population surge by building more balloon cities, in the long run, a more efficient and sustainable development path must be explored.

　Unfortunately, Venus is ultimately just a planet with a diameter of about 1.2 kilometers.

　The number of balloon cities that its atmosphere can accommodate is ultimately limited.

　One hundred? Two hundred? Or perhaps one thousand?

　No matter how hard we try, the number of balloon cities that this planet's atmosphere can support will never exceed 15,000.

　This is not because Venus's atmosphere itself cannot accommodate more balloon cities, but rather because as the number increases further, their economic benefits and practicality will shrink significantly.

　Thanks to the exceptional technical skills of Vilvie and Mebius, the balloon city they jointly created has demonstrated outstanding performance in both industrial production and hydroponic agriculture.

　However, despite its outstanding performance, the Balloon City still relies heavily on industrial spaceships to mine raw materials from the surface of Venus, which is the most critical issue of raw material supply.

　In this context, excessively increasing the number of balloon cities will not only fail to help with the effective acquisition of resources, but may also trigger a series of complex and thorny problems.

　While necromancers may regard human souls as a precious magical resource, this does not mean that other resources are insignificant.

　In fact, even with only sixteen balloon cities currently existing, the various resources these alien colonies provide him each month, if converted into Ashan gold coins, would already be a very considerable amount.

　This is why Moros paid such close attention to the Venus colony project.

　Otherwise, given his personality, how could he possibly take the initiative to care about the development of these alien colonies?

　Thanks to the rich experience accumulated from building sixteen balloon cities, this alien colony, which was destined to be a sacrifice from the very beginning of its planning, was completed smoothly without any accidents during its construction.

　The moment this brand-new balloon city stood in the atmosphere of Venus, Moros did not hesitate to open the demiplane portal, sending the deserted balloon city into the deep demiplane.

　Immediately afterwards...

　Transform it into a war machine template!

　Under the necromancer's will, a dazzling blue-purple ray burst forth from the blacksmith shop, shooting straight towards the balloon city floating in the demiplane's sky, enveloping it.

　With the disintegration of this balloon city, which had been built less than ten minutes ago, a new option was quietly added to the war machine templates that could be exchanged at the [Blacksmith Shop].

Chapter 798 Sakura and Rin's Amusement Park Trip

　After spending a huge amount of Ashan gold coins to exchange for a brand new balloon city to properly accommodate the recent natural population surge within the Venus region, Moros resolutely threw himself into a new round of magical research.

　Admittedly, with his current strength, he is already able to enjoy a leisurely life within the solar system.

　But as long as his grand ambition to ignite the divine fire and elevate the divine throne has not been buried, the necromancer will not dare to slacken for a single day, and will always devote all his energy to the vast world of magical research.

　He knew very well that only by making continuous progress could he reach the unattainable realm of the gods.

　While Moros was deeply immersed in the vast ocean of magical research, tirelessly exploring the unknown, his only two subordinates—

　Sakura, the Heroic-class Fusion Warrior who bears the inscription "Moment," and Rin, the Twelfth Herrscher of Erosion who once single-handedly destroyed numerous human civilizations, embarked together on a civilian spaceship from their daily home, the Balloon City. They traversed Venus's complex and ever-changing atmosphere and finally arrived at the earliest and largest Balloon City.

　Their purpose for this trip was simple and direct: to go to the largest amusement park on Venus and enjoy a wonderful time.

　As the largest and most densely populated of the sixteen balloon cities suspended in Venus's atmosphere, this alien colony undoubtedly boasts top-of-the-line amusement facilities.

　After all, when the balloon city was first planned, Velvet and Mebius envisioned it as the administrative center and entertainment hub of the Venusian colonies.

　Compared to other balloon cities that are either primarily focused on industrial production or agriculture, this city places greater emphasis on the leisure and entertainment of its residents.

　Stepping into this massive balloon city, Sakura and Rin felt as if they had entered a bizarre and fantastical world.

　Between the high-rise buildings, colorful balloons and ribbons flutter in the wind, decorating every inch of space beautifully.

　A faint atmosphere of joy permeated the air, and all sorts of laughter and cheerful voices filled the air, making people feel in a great mood.

　Sakura held Rin's hand tightly as they weaved through the bustling crowd filled with laughter and chatter.

　Sunlight filtered through the artificial clouds, dappling their bodies and bathing the sisters in a golden glow.

　Their faces were filled with innocent smiles, as if time had turned back, taking them back to their carefree childhood.

　"Sister, look at that Ferris wheel! It's so tall! It looks like it can touch the sky!"

　Ling excitedly pointed to the towering Ferris wheel not far away, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing.

　Her fingers trembled slightly, revealing her excitement and anticipation.

　Sakura looked in the direction Rin was pointing and saw the Ferris wheel towering into the sky, standing out against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds.

　"Yeah, it really is high! Let's go for a ride and experience what it's like to look down on the world from high above!"

　Sakura held Rin's hand, and the two walked quickly toward the Ferris wheel.

　At this moment, Sakura's face was filled with the joy and excitement of being the older sister, completely devoid of the gloom she once felt as a hidden blade among the Moths of Fire.

　As they stepped into the Ferris wheel cabin, the cabin began to slowly rise, taking them into a completely new perspective.

　Through the transparent glass windows, they could clearly see the magnificent scenery of the entire balloon city.

　The colorful buildings appear and disappear amidst the sea of ​​clouds, adding a touch of mystery and beauty to this alien paradise.

　Standing atop a sea of ​​clouds created by the artificial intelligence that manages this balloon city, Sakura and Rin feel as if they have entered a completely new world.

　Looking down at this bustling and beautiful scene, they were filled with endless emotion and joy.

　"Sister, look over there! That's the airport we came from!"

　Suddenly, Ling pointed to a huge building in the distance and shouted excitedly.

　Bell's blue eyes sparkled with childlike joy and innocence.

　At this moment, she completely forgot that she was once a Herrscher who wielded the power of [Erosion], and was just an ordinary girl enjoying a fun time at the amusement park with her sister.

　Following Ling's gaze, Sakura saw the airport towering majestically amidst the sea of ​​clouds, its grandeur breathtaking.

　She smiled and nodded, a warm feeling welling up inside her.

　"Yes, it's so beautiful! Everything here is a shared memory for us."

　Rin gently leaned on Sakura's shoulder, feeling the warmth and strength coming from her older sister.

　She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if to keep this peace and beauty in her heart forever.

　"Sister, thank you for always being by my side. No matter what difficulties I encounter, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

　Rin's voice was soft yet firm, filled with dependence and trust in Sakura.

　Sakura gently put her arm around Rin's shoulder, her eyes filled with doting affection and happiness.

　she said softly.

　"Ling, we are sisters, each other's strongest support. No matter what challenges we face in the future, we will face them together and overcome them together. Because of you, my world has become more complete."

　As the Ferris wheel cabin reached its highest point, Sakura and Rin embraced tightly, forever cherishing this deep sisterly bond in their hearts.

　They know that no matter what storms they may encounter in the future, they will join hands and face them together.

　After leaving the Ferris wheel, they eagerly headed towards their next destination—the roller coaster.

　As the roller coaster sped and tumbled through the air, screams and laughter rose and fell, weaving together a vibrant and joyful amusement park symphony.

　Although Sakura and Rin were already used to this speed and it didn't bring them any novelty or stimulation, at this moment, they completely let go of their usual defenses and reserve, wholeheartedly sharing this pure and sincere joy with each other.

　"Rin, are you scared?"

　Sakura asked softly, her tone full of care and tenderness.

　Ling smiled and shook her head in reply.

　"With you here, I'm not afraid of anything!"

　After that, they tried classic amusement park rides such as the carousel and bumper cars one by one.

　Every ride bears witness to their laughter and wonderful memories.

　In every corner of the amusement park, you can see their inseparable figures. Their tacit understanding and deep affection seem to be infectious, making the surrounding tourists look on with envy.

　As night falls, the amusement park lights gradually illuminate, making the entire city even more dazzling.

　Sakura and Rin strolled hand in hand along the dimly lit path, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
