Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　"Sister, look at the fireworks over there!"

　Ling suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted.

　Sakura smiled and nodded in response.

　"Yes, it's so beautiful! Let's make a wish together!"

　Her tone was full of anticipation and hope for the future.

　So, they went hand in hand to the fireworks display area of ​​the amusement park.

　As colorful fireworks burst in the night sky, Sakura and Rin embraced tightly, making a joint wish for a bright future.

Chapter 799 The First Achievement of the Quantum Sea Exploration Project

　Moros maintained a considerable degree of leniency towards his two powerful subordinates, Sakura and Rin.

　He would never disturb their peaceful daily lives unless there was a mission that required them to use their skills.

　However, if there is an urgent mission that urgently requires their strength, the necromancer will not hesitate to send these two powerful subordinates whose strength is already close to that of a demigod.

　After all, Sakura and Rin were his capable subordinates, not his emotional refuge.

　Although he did covet them, at least for the time being, the relationship between the necromancer and them remained purely that of superior and subordinate.

　In that case, he would not hesitate or be reluctant to send them on missions.

　Of course, based on the magical contract he had previously signed with Sakura, he would only assign tasks directly to her.

　However, considering the deep emotional bond between Rin and Sakura, Moros knew very well that Rin, who had already achieved ascension and was only one step away from becoming a demigod, would never sit idly by while her sister Sakura went alone to a dangerous place like the Quantum Sea to carry out a mission, while she herself enjoyed the comfort of the Balloon City.

　Yes, the necromancer needs Sakura's appearance this time because a vengeful spirit he previously dispatched to the Quantum Sea to carry out the "Quantum Sea Exploration Project" has sent back astonishing information—

　It discovered a strange object it had never seen before.

　After establishing a mental link with the vengeful spirit and receiving its intelligence feedback, Moros switched to its perspective within a few breaths.

　Then, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

　Let's see what he discovered.

　A world bubble adrift in the ocean of quantum mechanics!

　As is well known, the world bubble is a "leaf (world)" that falls from the tree of imaginary numbers.

　They often gradually sink into the abyss of the quantum sea, eventually being mercilessly swallowed up and transformed into pure energy, nourishing this "ocean" that forms one of the two poles of the tree-sea system.

　However, this is not absolute; some highly developed civilizations...

　Ming was able to stabilize these world bubbles using special technological means, saving them from the fate of falling into the quantum sea.

　At the same time, the world bubble may also be reconnected to the tree of imaginary numbers in some way.

　Furthermore, world bubbles can even increase their size by merging with each other, thus delaying their fate of being completely swallowed by the quantum sea.

　That's right, it's just a delay.

　Within the framework of the Tree Sea system, unless the World Bubble can be reconnected to the Imaginary Tree, no matter how advanced the technology, it can only delay its demise, but cannot completely prevent this fate.

　Even if certain methods can make this process appear plausible, they ultimately only delay it, not truly reverse it.

　However, this is enough for a necromancer who is capable of discovering these world bubbles that have not yet been swallowed by the quantum sea.

　Although these world bubbles have lost their foundation for existence and are destined to be submerged in the vastness of the quantum sea, everything inside the world bubbles is still vibrant and real before that final engulfment arrives.

　In other words, they can still be taken out of that disappearing world.

　what does this mean?

　This means that every unswallowed world bubble holds endless possibilities and value.

　They are like dazzling pearls lost in the vast ocean of quantum mechanics, waiting for explorers with sufficient capabilities to discover, mine, and utilize them.

　In this regard, the high-dimensional plant, Sa, which is deeply rooted in the sea of ​​quantum mechanics and feeds on the energy of the world bubble, undoubtedly provides a vivid example for necromancers.

　By harnessing the immense energy harvested from countless world bubbles, she forcefully elevated her strength to the level of a "pseudo-god," a realm just one step away from true divinity.

　Given this precedent, it goes without saying what Moros, a typical necropolis spellcaster, would do with this newly discovered world.

　He resolved to assemble his massive undead army and dispatch his most elite warriors to launch an unstoppable offensive against this world bubble, determined to seize all its resources and knowledge for himself.

　Therefore, Morro specifically recalled the powerful Heroic-class Fusion Warrior Sakura and gave her a crucial mission—to lead the undead legion on his behalf and launch an attack on the newly discovered world bubble.

　After understanding the necromancer's true intentions, a hint of sadness flashed in Sakura's pale purple eyes.

　Indeed, during her years serving Dr. Mei, her hands were already stained with blood.

　But at this moment, just by hearing Moros's account, Sakura could deeply sense the heaviness and bloodshed hidden behind this mission.

　However, despite the unprecedented peace she experienced during half a century of tranquil life, she did not forget the responsibilities and obligations she had undertaken when she signed the magical contract.

　Sakura knew that this was the price she had to pay as a contractor, a predetermined fate.

　Therefore, even though she knew in her heart that the task assigned by Moros would be accompanied by endless killing and bloodshed, Sakura still agreed without hesitation.

　Her decision did not surprise Moros.

　He nodded slightly, his eyes revealing satisfaction and appreciation.

　"Very good. It seems that these peaceful days have not dulled your blade."

　As he spoke, the necromancer took out a magic badge from his storage ring, which shimmered with visible magical light, and gently tossed it to the cherry-haired girl in front of him.

　"This is a gift I prepared especially for you. It will provide you with strong support in times of crisis. Remember, your safety is equally important. I don't want to lose such an excellent subordinate as you because of this operation."

　As he spoke, Moros formally granted Sakura the authority to command the undead forces.

　A hint of surprise flashed in Sakura's eyes as she accepted the magic badge.

　From the information conveyed to her by this magical artifact, she quickly understood the effects and usage of the magical badge.

　This magical artifact possesses the extraordinary ability to generate a magical shield, strong enough to withstand the equivalent of two Honkai energy fission bombs.

　This is already comparable to the damage-absorbing capacity of the ship's shields on the Halberd-class destroyer!

　The complexity and difficulty of engraving such powerful protective force into a magic badge the size of a palm is unimaginable.

　Sakura has a deep understanding of the dark side of human nature, and naturally she also senses the necromancer's not-so-deeply hidden desire for her.

　Even so, the gift of this magic badge still stirred an unusual ripple in her heart.

　"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Moros."

　Sakura's voice was gentle yet firm, and her eyes shone with a mixture of determination and gratitude.

　"I will make good use of this power to ensure the successful completion of the mission, while also protecting myself and not letting you down."

Chapter 800 Sakura's Resolve

　Watching Sakura disappear into the portal, a deep and meaningful smile unconsciously appeared on Moros's lips.

　"Sakura, Sakura, will you become the invincible, sharp sword in my grand plan, or a pawn that inadvertently falls into the game and is manipulated at will? This unknown variable is truly something to look forward to..."

　Based on his previous magical investigation of that bubble world, the scenes of repeated reincarnation within it were quite interesting to Sakura.

　A runaway nun from the far west, the ancient Higanbana from the Bunsei era, and the Yae Village deeply mired in the worship of evil gods...

　All these clues and hints seem to point to one name—

　Cherry Blossom Cycle!

　I wonder what kind of thrilling scene will unfold when Sakura finally faces Yae Sakura and meets Himeko?

　Thinking of this, a look of interest flashed in Moros's eyes, as if he could already foresee the wonderful scene to come.

　Perhaps I really should go there in person and witness all of this firsthand?

　But in an instant, he decisively abandoned the idea.

　There was nothing he could do; the necromancer's lust for Sakura never faded.

　He didn't want to let this sudden playful impulse cause him to squander the goodwill he had worked so hard to build.

　After all, Moros had a very clear understanding of the deep feelings between Sakura and Rin.

　Even if it were Rin from that world bubble, he wouldn't want to ruin the hard-won relationship between him and Sakura because of his momentary impulse.

　As for the strategy plan for that world bubble where the cherry blossom cycle is unfolding?

　Moros wasn't worried at all.

　Adhering to the cautious attitude of "even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit," he has entrusted the main force of the undead army to Sakura.

　Not only that, he also handed over the powerful fleet consisting of twenty-four Paris-class heavy frigates to Sakura without reservation.

　The necromancer believed that, faced with a full force of 150 million undead soldiers equipped with corresponding [Undead Engines], and an invincible fleet composed of twenty-four Paris-class heavy frigates, Japan during the Wenzheng era would be utterly unable to mount any effective resistance.

　What was the state of Japan during the Bunsei era?

　Bunsei is one of the era names used in Japan.

　Around 1466 AD, after Kansei and before Onin.

　The Japanese emperor during this period was Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado, and the shogun of the Muromachi shogunate was Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

　In other words, during the Bunsho era, Japan was essentially under the control of the Muromachi Shogunate (also known as the Ashikaga Shogunate).

　Although the Muromachi Shogunate at this time had not yet experienced the turmoil of the Ōnin War (1467), and its military strength was still at its peak, the fighting ability of the Shogunate army, which had never even seen a matchlock gun, was just so-so.

　Suppressing peasant uprisings within the country was a piece of cake for them, and even when facing the regular army of the Ming Empire, they could barely hold out for a few rounds.

　However, if they encounter a regular army equipped with Honkai energy weapons that can defeat modern superpowers head-on, or an undead army of Honkai beasts personally commanded by the Herrscher, the Shogunate Army's combat power is far from sufficient.

　The development of events did not exceed Morros's expectations.

　Judging from the battle reports sent back by Sakura, the undead forces she led encountered almost no noteworthy resistance.

　Apart from Yae Village, which Sakura cared about deeply, the undead army advanced at a speed almost equal to their marching speed in other parts of Japan.

　Time moves forward.

　The newly discovered world bubble, Sunnomoto, Heian-kyo (Kyoto).

　As the capital and largest city of Japan during this period, Heian-kyo's prosperity is undeniable.

　Before experiencing the brutal devastation of the Ōnin War, Heian-kyo remained dazzling, maintaining its unparalleled glory as the political, economic, and cultural center of Japan.

　The magnificent palaces, the solemn and elegant temples, and the tranquil and harmonious residences, all complement the winding waterways that meander through them, creating a vivid and captivating historical tapestry.

　Strolling through the streets of Heian-kyo, Sakura could deeply feel the solemn and dignified atmosphere that had been passed down from ancient times.

　The stone-paved road is lined with shops, bustling with activity, creating a vivid picture of everyday life.

　The shouts of vendors rose and fell, weaving together a moving symphony of everyday life.

　They sell all sorts of goods, from exquisite kimonos and delicate porcelain to fragrant delicacies—a dazzling array that is sure to dazzle the eye.

　Even Sakura, who had experienced the high prosperity of the pre-civilization era and the baptism of modern urban commerce, couldn't help but feel dazzled.

　Pedestrians either hurried past or stopped to admire the street scene, their faces beaming with satisfaction and happiness.

　Such a scene is not surprising.

　Although Japan's rulers were generally not very competent, in Heian-kyo, under the Emperor and the Shogunate...

　Under the general's watchful eye, they still restrained themselves somewhat.

　Of course, this convergence is only relative.

　Even so, for ordinary people living in this bustling city, this is enough to bring a knowing smile to their faces and let them feel a rare glimmer of good governance.

　pity……

　Thinking of the task Moros had given her, a hint of sadness flashed in the cherry-haired girl's pale purple eyes.

　I'm sorry, for the sake of my and Ling's future...

　In her heart, she silently apologized for the people who were about to suffer a calamity. Then, Sakura brought her thoughts back and focused on choosing a gift for her sister.

　Rin and Sakura were too familiar with each other, and the long period of peaceful life made it difficult for Sakura to find an excuse to hide it.

　Therefore, in just a few words, Ling cleverly tricked her into revealing the secret that she was about to travel to the newly discovered world bubble in the Sea of ​​Quanta to carry out a mission for the necromancer.

　Upon learning this news, Ling clung to her, insisting on going to the Sea of ​​Quanta with her.

　However, Sakura had a very clear understanding of the nature of this mission, so she unusually and firmly refused Rin's request.
