Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The future fate of this former high-ranking member who was expelled from the Firemoth is self-evident.

　However, the other senior members of the Fire Moth, who were listening intently to Dr. Mei's explanation, had no time to feel pity for their former colleague's plight, nor to indulge in feelings of shared sorrow.

　Under Dr. Mei's leadership, the members of the Fire-Chasing Moths who have risen to the top ranks are certainly capable, regardless of their psychological qualities.

　They were very clear about what was most important to the fire-chasing moths at this moment.

　They wanted to survive, they wanted to retain the power they held...

　Regardless of their desires, they only have one path to choose from—

　That is to fight against the Honkai to the end, cross the final judgment, and seek that glimmer of hope that only exists in theory!

　Therefore, the high-ranking members of the Firemoth expressed their wholehearted support and approval for Dr. Mei's forward-looking plans aimed at helping human civilization overcome the Collapse Trial, such as the [Hengsha Project], the [Chimera Project], and the [Key of God Project].

　However, for those who focus more on benefiting future generations and the potential for future generations...

　Regarding the plans for the next generation of human civilization, such as the "Fire Seed Project," the "Stigmata Project," and the "Overseer Project," the attitudes of these high-level officials appear relatively conservative and cautious.

　After all, even the elites personally cultivated by Dr. Mei are first and foremost ordinary people made of flesh and blood.

　Deep down, people tend to focus on things that directly benefit themselves and satisfy their immediate needs.

　They naturally pay less attention to plans that are significant but from which they cannot directly benefit.

　I don't care about the flood after I die.

　This concept is prevalent and difficult to shake, both on Earth and on Earth-like planets within this tree-sea system.

　Of course, these elites among the Fire Moths showed an unusually supportive attitude towards the [Ark Project].

　With Dr. Mei's intelligence, she couldn't possibly be unaware of the true thoughts of these high-ranking members of the Moth Chaser organization she had personally cultivated.

　They hoped that when the worst came, they could escape Earth by boarding a spaceship and get rid of the shadow of the Honkai Trial.

　Although Dr. May was fully aware of the motives of these high-ranking officials, her reason told her that as long as they were willing to take action, it would be a good thing for Project Ark.

　In any case, she never intended to manufacture the spaceships used to carry the seeds of civilization in the Ark Project in the factory controlled by the Firemoth.

　Although Dr. Mei was full of confidence in her research abilities, she had to admit that Vervier's achievements in the field of mechanics surpassed her own.

　Dr. Mei understood perfectly that the fleet summoned by the necromancer during the eleventh Great Collapse certainly contained magical power, but it was more of a crystallization of mechanical technology.

　Based on her long-standing collaboration with Vervier and Möbius in the field of scientific research, she has already made her own inferences about the origins of these mechanical and technological achievements.

　Considering both efficiency and professionalism, entrusting the shipbuilding task to Velvi was undoubtedly a wiser choice.

　At the same time, Dr. Mei had many research projects to carry out and was unable to attend to them all, which was also an important reason for her decision.

　In fact, it's not just the spaceships needed for Project Ark to carry the last seeds of human civilization.

　She even planned to entrust the manufacturing of the ship carrying the Moonlight Throne System, the theoretical final product of the Moonlight Throne Project, to Velvet.

　The Moth of Fire executives present were naturally completely unaware of Dr. Mei's ideas.

　They remained immersed in the illusory and beautiful vision of the "Ark Project".

　With Dr. Mei successfully convening a meeting and unifying the thinking of the Firemoth's leadership, her meticulously crafted plans began to move forward in an orderly manner.

　These plans cover multiple aspects, including the [Sandstorm Project], [Chimera Project], and [Key of God Project], which aim to attempt to transcend the final judgment, as well as the [Fire Seed Project], [Ark Project], and [Overseer Project], which are dedicated to continuing human civilization.

　It's worth noting that the [Stigmata Project] at this time was not the final version of the [Stigmata Project] that Kevin carried out in the original world.

　At this stage, the core objective of the [Stigmata Project] remains focused on strengthening combat power, aiming to cultivate individuals from the Celestial Origin who can "embrace Honkai" through special means.

　These carefully selected individuals, who have dedicated themselves to this project, will carry humanity's hope in fighting the Honkai to the very end, becoming a vital force in resisting the final judgment.

　Even if their attempts to transcend the final judgment ultimately fail, these Tianyuan beings who can coexist with the Honkai will still possess the ability to survive tenaciously on the desolate planets after the final judgment and continue to propagate human civilization.

　The "Stigmata Project" is just one of many attempts Dr. Mei has made to enhance the combat capabilities of the Fire Moth.

　A rational person like her would never easily place all her hopes on a single plan.

　While collaborating with Mebius to advance the "Stigmata Project," Dr. Mebius also devoted a great deal of energy to the "Chimera Project," which aimed to enhance the combat capabilities of existing fusion warriors.

　Having experienced the brutal baptism of the Eleventh Honkai Impact, Dr. Mei has gained a deeper understanding of the crucial role that high-end combat forces play in the Honkai Trial.

　Therefore, she decided to modify Kevin again, attempting to further enhance the strength of this "human hero" by fusing various different Honkai Beast factors.

　Kevin, of course, unconditionally obeyed the decision to have his brain implanted outside his body.

　In the end, Kevin's choice was undoubtedly correct.

　He successfully devoured and fused with a massive number of Honkai Beasts, not only completing the established goals of the [Chimera Project], but also being bestowed the title of [Brahma] for it. His strength had reached an unprecedented level.

　Demigod rank.

Chapter 576 Private Fight and the Busy Vilvi

　Upon learning that Kevin had successfully completed the Chimera Project and gained new powers, the white-haired warrior bearing the inscription of Annihilation could no longer sit still.

　This person, whose true face was concealed by a jet-black mask, held...

　The man with the alias "Feitian" was very curious about the power Kevin had just acquired.

　For Qianjie, the best way to satisfy this curiosity is to have a direct confrontation with Kevin.

　So he challenged Kevin to a duel.

　However, Kevin did not immediately agree to Qian Jie's fighting spirit.

　This was not because he was afraid of fighting, but because he knew Qianjie's fiery personality well.

　Once the battle begins, it will likely no longer be limited to mere sparring, but will quickly escalate into a real, fierce fight.

　Such a fierce battle would have a far greater impact and consequences than a small training ground could withstand.

　Therefore, Kevin decided to send a detailed statement to Dr. May, his external brain and leader of the Fire-Chasing Moths, hoping to get valuable advice and guidance from her.

　Qianjie, however, did not take this to heart.

　What he wants to do will not change because of the opposition of the Fire Moth.

　Driven by his anticipation of the never-ending war promised by Alicia, he chose to fight for the Firemoth.

　But this does not mean that he actually regarded the Firemoth and Dr. May as his superiors.

　If Dr. May gives a negative answer, he will satisfy his curiosity in his own way.

　After receiving Kevin's explanation, Dr. May, after a brief moment of contemplation, decided to agree to Kevin's decision to fight Qian Jie.

　On the one hand, she was also very interested in Kevin's strength after completing the Chimera Project.

　Dr. May hopes to gather Kevin's latest combat data through this battle, providing a more accurate reference for the large-scale rollout of the Chimera Project for the Firemoth.

　On the other hand, Dr. Mei also has a clear understanding of the subtle and complex relationship between Thousand Calamities and the Moth of Fire.

　She did not want to have an unnecessary conflict with a powerful force like Thousand Calamity, who belonged to the Fire Moths, now that the Honkai Tribulation was escalating.

　Of course, to avoid further waste of the already scarce resources of the Fire-Chasing Moths, Dr. May specifically requested Kevin and Qianjie to choose a desolate place abandoned by human civilization as the location for this "sparring match".

　Having fulfilled Qianjie's primary wish to fight Kevin, Qianjie was also willing to give Dr. Mei this respect and face.

　However, as time went by, news of this "sparring" quietly spread within the Fire Moth organization and became known to those who were well-informed.

　Among these well-informed members of the Fire Moth, Congressman William stands out.

　As a member representing necromancers in the Council of the Firemoth, he was naturally aware of the deep friendship between Mebius and Moros.

　In an effort to curry favor with the future mistress of the house, Congressman William deliberately leaked this information to Mebius.

　then……

　"Dr. Mebius...no...please...I don't want to die..."

　Holding tightly to Mebius's thighs encased in glossy black stockings, Danju, her experimental assistant, spoke with a distinct sob in her voice.

　"What? Are you scared already? Who was it that told me... that as long as I could become your assistant and learn from you, I wouldn't care even if it meant risking my life?"

　“But… but he is a thousand-fold calamity! I’ve heard from others that even the aftershocks from his battles can take the lives of bystanders in an instant.”

　Danzhu spoke haltingly, wiping away her tears.

　“Dr. Möbius, let me go back. I am willing to give my life for science, but to die like this... is just... just too meaningless.”

　Faced with Danzhu's plea, Dr. Möbius gently shook his head, his tone carrying an undeniable resolve.

　"It's not that exaggerated. Besides... if we miss this opportunity, we'll never have another chance. Like everyone else, they'll be transferred to different bases, and their monthly private fight permits and budgets for maintaining related damage will be canceled."

　Seemingly realizing that Dr. Möbius's decision was irreversible, Danju fell silent.

　"..."

　But soon, she turned her gaze to the bag-shaped mechanical device that Dr. Mebius was leaning against.

　“Alright… Dr. Möbius. But… could you give me half of your protective gear?”

　"Shh... They're here."

　……

　Just as Danju and Mebius were discussing the protective device, a hot wind blew through the lowest part of the rift valley, and the two men suddenly found themselves standing face to face.

　"Today will be different, Qianjie."

　"I know this is the last time."

　"That's right, this is the last time. Whether we'll ever see each other again is still unknown. So, I'll do my best to make you happy."

　"Ah, I couldn't ask for more. But..."

　"Kevin, do you really think you can do that?"

　"of course."

　Wilvi was naturally aware of the private duel between Kevin and Qianjie.

　were able

　William's ability to remain a political force for so many years is not only due to his backing by a necromancer, but also because of his own considerable capabilities.

　Therefore, while revealing the relevant information to Mebius, he also did not forget to report to Velvi, Alicia, and Eden.

　After receiving the report from Congressman William, Wilwick simply gave him a few perfunctory replies and politely dismissed him.

　At this moment, the expert was busy with the urgent shipbuilding order given by Dr. Mei and had no extra energy to pay attention to these trivial matters.

　It would be impossible for her to say that she had no curiosity about Kevin's strength after completing the Chimera Project.

　After all, in order to deal with Kevin, the native world's Velvi had meticulously designed a series of weapons against him.

　But compared to what she's currently busy with, this curiosity seems rather insignificant.

　Given her relationship with Mebius, obtaining relevant data about Kevin's fight from the latter would be no difficult task for her.

　On the contrary, the expert is now facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—to test and improve her skills by building the Moonlight Throne system carrier ship for the Fire Moth and the seed ship of the [Ark Project], so as to tailor a new generation of warships for her lover.

　Once such an opportunity is missed, it may be difficult to encounter it again.

　In the battle against the Eleventh Herrscher of Binding, the Charon-class light corvette did not perform to Virvie's satisfaction.

　Driven by their pursuit of perfection and their deep bond with Morros, the eight personalities of Velvi reached a consensus that they must produce an even more perfect work.

Chapter 577 March Time and Time Distortion Stance

　It is well known that when people are engrossed in their pursuits, they are often not sensitive to the passage of time.

　Just as Moros was immersed in studying legendary spells, Dr. May was pushing forward with her complex and meticulous plan, and Velvey was tirelessly verifying the feasibility of cutting-edge technology, time slipped away unnoticed, like a gentle stream.

　In the blink of an eye, three months have slipped away silently through our fingers.

　Over the past three months, the frequency of Honkai disasters on this planet has been increasing.

　Based on the valuable experience gained from previous battles against the Honkai, and the mysterious messages left behind by ancient civilizations that have been deciphered, Dr. Mei deduces that the next Great Honkai is imminent.

　This deduction, like a heavy dark cloud, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, filling all who learned of it with deep worry and unease.

　According to records left by ancient civilizations, there are fourteen Lawbringers, each possessing the power to overturn the world.

　Now, they have defeated a total of eleven apostles of God who wield different powers.

　This is undoubtedly a glorious victory for all of human civilization.

　However, this also means that there is not much time left before the arrival of the Fourteenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of the End, who will destroy ancient civilizations.

　Even today, though they may be unwilling to admit it, the wise men of human society have realized that the pace of the Honkai Trial is accelerating.

　The time left for human civilization is passing by at an alarming rate.
