Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Unfortunately, even with all the simplifications and improvements made, the spell ritual [Rough Positioning of World Bubble] is still a grand spell ritual that requires at least ten thousand units of high-ranking liches to perform continuously for days.

　However, even so, this is still an extremely valuable magical achievement.

　This can be seen from the fact that he re-condensed a unit of [magic] domain divinity.

　Yes, after completing the research and development of magical technology capable of roughly locating potential world bubble regions within the Quantum Sea, and developing it into a magical ritual in the form of the legendary spell "Rough Location of World Bubbles," the necromancer's path to divine condensation has once again taken a solid step forward.

　Now, he is one step closer to the first step in the realm of divinity, namely, [faint divinity].

　The qualitative change was reduced to a difference of only two units of divinity value.

　Getting back to the main point, while Moros successfully ritualized the legendary spell [Rough Positioning of World Bubble], unlocking this powerful battle spell for the Grand Lich Mage Order, Velvey never slacked off in the slightest.

　She immersed herself wholeheartedly in the development of the research vessel, her nimble hands deftly moving between blueprints and models, turning each ingenious design into reality.

　After countless days and nights of hard work, the expert team finally completed the development of all other parts of the research vessel.

　This research vessel, meticulously built based on the Kingfisher-class light cruiser, has now been completely renovated.

　It not only provided a spacious and suitable ritual venue for the Great Lich Sorcerer Corpse of Ten Thousand Men mentioned by Moros to perform the spell ritual "Rough Positioning of the World Bubble," but also integrated many cutting-edge scientific research functions.

　In the material universe, this steel behemoth, with a long axis of 1170 meters and a width of 352 meters, can use its various advanced Honkai energy observation instruments to explore unknown galaxies and planets, helping her and her lover discover new resources and planets, and unveil the mysteries of the universe.

　In the mysterious world of the Quantum Sea, this behemoth can also demonstrate its capabilities, being used to conduct a series of scientific research projects closely related to the Quantum Sea and explore the endless mysteries of the quantum world.

　As the lead ship of this type of research vessel slowly departed the magnificent starport of the Venus colony, Morros and Velvet immediately threw themselves into the final debugging and testing work.

　This research vessel is not only an important tool for them to explore the mysteries of the forest ecosystem, but also a testament to their love.

　Therefore, from every intricate structure to the overall smoothness of operation, no flaws or carelessness are allowed.

　The test results were exceptionally good. After only half a month of careful adjustments, the research ship successfully passed all the tests and was officially declared ready to join the Death Fleet and carry out missions.

　Upon receiving this news, Moros's face lit up with barely suppressed joy.

　He believes that with the addition of this research vessel, his "Quantum Sea Exploration Project" will surely yield even more fruitful results.

Chapter 874 Re-entering the World Bubble

　On the morning after the research ship officially entered service, Moros invited Velvi with deep affection, hoping that she could join him on this giant research ship, which embodied countless efforts of theirs, and travel together to the restarted world bubble.

　On the one hand, he needs to regain control of the World Bubble that was separated from his rule due to the World Bubble restart and bring it back under his command.

　On the other hand, as a necromancer, he also hoped that this research behemoth would live up to his and Velvi's high expectations and discover some hidden mysteries in the restarted world bubble.

　"Vilvie, would you be willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with me on this research behemoth, and together bring that restarted world bubble back under my protection?"

　Moros's words were filled with anticipation and tenderness.

　His gaze was fixed on Vilvi's charming face, as if afraid of missing any subtle change in her expression.

　Upon hearing this, a bright smile bloomed on Vervi's face.

　Her pink eyes sparkled with excitement and happiness.

　“Of course I would, Moros. I would like to travel with you to explore the endless mysteries of the unknown.”

　Having received an affirmative reply from Velvi, Moros slowly reached out and gently stroked her unique two-tone short hair, while Velvi showed a clear expression of affection.

　After whispering sweet nothings to each other for a while, the two boarded the research vessel hand in hand and walked together into the spacious and futuristic bridge.

　Inside the bridge, various sophisticated instruments and displays gleamed with a cold light, seemingly awaiting their commands.

　set sail!

　Through a mental link, Moros gave the order to the artificial soul aggregate that was controlling the giant scientific research vessel to set sail.

　At the same time, Velvey, who came to the bridge with him, also issued instructions to the armed dolls on the bridge to prepare for scientific research.

　Research vessels are not warships.

　Even though this spaceship, which has been transformed into a [Dead Engine], can be controlled by an artificial soul aggregate, it still needs to be equipped with a sufficient number of scientific research personnel in order to make it function as a scientific research vessel.

　Considering the tens of thousands of lich lords and the large number of undead soldiers serving as marines on the ship, those armed puppets who are not afraid of negative energy fields became the most suitable crew members.

　Admittedly, in the pre-civilization era, the armed puppets once revolted.

　But that's entirely because the moths that chase fire have a truly inhuman relationship with the United Nations.

　After all, no being with the ability to think independently would willingly be used as cannon fodder without complaint.

　Under Velvi's command, the armed puppets, who did not have to take on cannon fodder roles, were always obedient children, and such incidents never occurred.

　Therefore, Moros and Vervi naturally had a certain degree of trust in these cute chibi-style little guys.

　Although they would still prepare some measures to deal with a possible rebellion, that was entirely out of the question.

　This was a precautionary measure, not a genuine belief that the armed puppets would rebel.

　Getting back to the main point, under the will of the necromancer and the expert lady, the large shipborne Honkai energy engine on the research ship began to roar at full power. The surging Honkai energy was converted into pure propulsion, driving this behemoth with a total mass of 90 tons toward the surface of Venus.

　Long before Moros developed the magical technology called the "Gate to the Cemetery City," he had already personally created a cemetery city with a "City Council" on the hellish surface of Venus.

　This is certainly not easy.

　But for a necromancer with the strength of a demigod at its peak, even the raging winds, scorching lava, and terrifying pressure on the surface of Venus could not stop his progress.

　Now is the time for that cemetery city, and the magical structure standing within it—the [Cemetery City Gate]—to reveal its true value.

　At the speed of a research vessel, the journey from the starport built in Venus's atmosphere to the surface of Venus is a short distance that can be traversed in just a few minutes.

　At such high speeds, Morros and Velvet naturally didn't need to leave the bridge, which allowed them to have an immediate view of the entire situation, and returned to the lounge to await good news.

　They didn't have to wait long; in just a few minutes, the cemetery city, tightly enveloped by a dark blue city-level magical shield, came into clear view.

　Under the precise control of the artificial soul aggregate, the research vessel gracefully adjusted its posture and slowly entered the slowly opening [Cemetery City Gate] above the cemetery city.

　At this moment, the massive hull of the research vessel appeared even more majestic and imposing against the backdrop of the cemetery city, showcasing the unique majesty and power belonging to the necromancer and the expert lady.

　The moment it passed through the [Gateway to the Cemetery City], the research vessel leaped into a strange and profound dimensional rift.

　The surrounding light was distorted and varied, colorful yet chaotic, as dazzling and enigmatic as a kaleidoscope.

　This is not an ordinary spatial jump, but a supernatural journey that crosses the boundary between real space and the quantum sea.

　In this hyperspace, the stars seemed to have lost their brilliance, turning into floating fragments of ghostly light.

　They rotate and intertwine continuously, creating breathtaking cosmic paintings.

　And those galaxies that were once out of reach now seem to be right within reach, within arm's reach.

　Their light is amplified infinitely here, illuminating this mysterious and unpredictable realm.

　The research vessel traveled through the tunnel of hyperspace, surrounded by a layer of purple-white shields. It was the magnificent display of the shipborne Honkai energy shield operating at full power, protecting the safety of the research vessel.

　Finally, as the research vessel passed through the last light curtain, the surrounding scenery suddenly opened up.

　They arrived in a completely new space, where the chaos and confusion of hyperspace were gone, replaced by a scene that was both strange and familiar.

　It felt unfamiliar because this was the first time Moros and Velvi had stepped into this restarted world bubble.

　They felt familiar with it because this place was, after all, Earth's high orbit, the starry sky they had gazed upon countless times.

　That's right, the other end of the [Gateway to Cemetery City] is the high orbit of Earth in the restarted world bubble.

　At this moment, the necromancer and the expert standing on the bridge of the research ship could clearly see that in the dark starry sky, Earth was lonely scattering the last rays of life into the desolate void.

　But this beauty was tainted by war; orange-yellow flames surrounded the earth, burning silently like hellfire.

　Those were the exhaust plumes from the engines of the main fleet ships of the Death Fleet.

　These war machines, symbols of slaughter and conquest, arrived long before the research ship entered this world bubble and began to surround the entire planet according to the precise combat plan formulated by the ship's command AI.

Chapter 875 Reconquest and Communication with Virvi

　Nothing noteworthy happened during the entire conquest of this World Bubble, which relied on the restart of the World Bubble to escape Moros's rule.

　Without ever launching a single offensive that could shake the Death Fleet, this blue planet embedded in the world bubble was disarmed silently.

　In fact, when the main fleet of the Death Fleet appeared in Earth's orbit like a dark cloud, every living being on the planet knew in their hearts that their fate was already sealed.

　Using a mere dozen armed satellites to fight against hundreds of enemy spaceships—even setting aside the enormous technological gap—is a battle that only elite commanders who graduated from the Green Mountain "Military Academy" would dare to attempt with a sliver of hope.

　Therefore, without any announcement from the necromancer, the vast majority of small countries on Earth proactively sent peace requests to the Death Fleet.

　This behavior is actually not difficult to understand.

　For these small countries, whether they surrender or not simply means they have a new ruler.

　Anyway

　Changing the leader of the team really has nothing to do with us; frankly, it's not like we're going to be the ones in charge.

　Most middle-sized countries, on the other hand, chose to wait and see, wanting to find out more about the other party before making a decision.

　They are like the "wait-and-see" party, believing that even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, they will not be the first to suffer.

　Calm and composed, sitting back and doing nothing – that's a true reflection of them.

　As for the major superpowers on Earth, such as the Mu continent, East Asia, and North America, their attitudes are completely different.

　They are staunch defenders and the biggest beneficiaries of the current international order.

　As the saying goes, "It is often harder to touch someone's interests than to touch their soul."

　For these vested interests, surrendering without any resistance is undoubtedly an extreme disrespect for their current status and rights, something they absolutely cannot tolerate.

　Unfortunately, the gap in strength cannot be easily bridged by mere unwavering belief.

　Faced with these ignorant fools, Moros, with his supreme mercy, bestowed upon them the final judgment called "death."

　Under the dazzling light of the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb, the command centers and decision-making bodies of these superpowers were instantly vaporized.

　With the loss of those who stubbornly resisted the vested interests, the planet naturally succumbed to the shadow of the death fleet.

　At this moment, the human civilization within this world bubble has been less than ten years since it discovered Honkai energy.

　In such a short time, how could they possibly upgrade Honkai energy technology to a level sufficient to resist the Death Fleet?

　Although sporadic beast-type Honkai Beasts and zombie assassins had appeared during this period, these creatures, which could not even be stopped by ordinary bullets, were clearly not enough to force the powerful and wealthy who controlled the direction of human civilization to establish an organization specifically to deal with Honkai disasters.

　Without the overall planning and guidance of the Moth of Fire, and without the imminent pressure of survival, the development speed of Honkai energy technology will naturally not be fast.

　After conquering the world bubble once again, Moros and Velvet set sail in their research vessel on an in-depth scientific expedition to this world bubble that had only undergone a restart process a few years ago.

　As for how to construct the ruling system of this world bubble?

　The necromancer, who had already personally experienced the restart of this world bubble, didn't take it to heart.

　In his view, each restart of the world bubble is like a cycle, allowing the world bubble to break free from his control.

　If that's the case, why not adopt some more short-sighted and efficient governance strategies?

　Let those powerful and wealthy people in this world who are willing to grovel before him continue to maintain their rule over this planet.

　As long as they can meticulously complete the tax revenue targets he sets, Moros is not insistent on personally controlling the fate of this world bubble.

　Anyway, in thirty years, no, in the twenties, this world bubble will be restarted again.

　At that time, everything here will return to its original state before the restart.

　In this situation, painstakingly constructing a complex and sophisticated ruling structure would undoubtedly be a futile endeavor.

　Getting back to the main point, inside the research center of the scientific research vessel, which was full of technological sense, Moros gazed intently at Velvi, who was working attentively in front of a precision instrument.

　He tapped the deck lightly with his scepter.

　"Boom-"

　The deep sound penetrated the sea of ​​information the expert was immersed in, woven from lines of data on the instrument's display screen.

　She turned her head sharply, her eyes, filled with wisdom and doubt, staring intently at her lover.

　Faced with Vilvi's obvious question and curiosity, the necromancer did not hesitate or show off at all; he spoke directly and frankly.

　"Vilvie, I plan to personally travel to the edge of this world bubble to explore the mysteries of the world bubble's restarting power. For now, I'll leave everything here to you."

　Hearing her lover and mentor speak so solemnly, a hint of surprise flashed in Vilvi's pink eyes, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by unwavering determination and trust.

　She gently placed the pen on the table. The pen spun gracefully a few times between her fingertips before finally landing steadily on the table with a soft but crisp sound.

　Standing up, the girl walked lightly to Moros, looked up, and met his gaze.

　Those eyes, full of wisdom and emotion, held both reluctance to part with her lover and understanding and respect for his pursuit of the unknown world.

　"Well, leave it to me."

　She reached out and gently stroked Moros's cheek, her fingertips as tender as a breeze in the morning light, offering him silent support and encouragement.
