Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　From the database of the Fire-Chasing Moth, she had already discerned the fact that necromancers and human civilization were not truly united against each other.

　With such a clear understanding, Ling naturally wouldn't waste her precious Honkai energy fission bombs on pointless actions against necromancers.

　Admittedly, the number of Honkai energy fission bombs produced by the Fire Moth is considerable, but compared with the number of remaining human civilization settlements on this planet, the stockpile of these fission bombs is still insufficient.

　In order to destroy human civilization to the greatest extent possible and avenge the suffering she had endured, Rin never hesitated or wavered. She wanted to use every Honkai energy fission bomb to its fullest potential to achieve the best possible destructive effect.

　Therefore, even if there were vital facilities in areas lacking large human populations, Ling never included them in her targets for attack.

　Getting back to the main point, as space was torn open by the power of magic, Moros's figure appeared silently in this comprehensive research institute belonging to Mebius.

　It was at this moment that, sensing the fluctuations of the teleportation spell, a squad of undead soldiers guarding the perimeter of the research institute quickly arrived at the scene, intending to investigate the cause behind this anomaly.

　Return to your post and continue performing your previous tasks.

　Through a mental link, the necromancer issued instructions to the hastily arriving undead squad.

　Upon receiving Moros's order, the undead squad that had come to investigate did not hesitate at all and immediately took action in accordance with the instructions.

　This is the undead army—

　Once a necromancer's order is received, it will be carried out without hesitation or resistance.

　After dismissing the undead squad that had come to investigate, Moros, with the special privileges granted by Mebius, was able to penetrate into the comprehensive research institute, which covered more than 50,000 square kilometers, without any hindrance.

　Under the bright lights, the corridor, made of alloy reinforced with Honkai energy, gleamed with a cold luster, and a strong science fiction atmosphere permeated the air, inspiring awe.

　After walking through the long, futuristic corridor, Moros arrived at a spacious and grand laboratory.

　"Mebius, I'm here."

　Muttering to himself, he strode resolutely toward the laboratory door.

　Instead of traditional guards at this gate, a sophisticated and complex system was in place.

　The biometric and energy scanning system underscores the extraordinary level of security at this location.

　The necromancer was already used to all of this.

　A faint smile played on his lips as he calmly extended a hand, palm up, to await the upcoming verification of his identity and permissions.

　At that very moment, a deep and mysterious blue light gently swept across his palm.

　That was the research center's AI system conducting a rigorous review and verification of Morlos's identity and permissions in its unique way.

　A moment later, accompanied by a soft mechanical whirring, the door slowly opened, expressing its sincerest recognition and welcome to the esteemed necromancer in a unique and solemn manner.

　As soon as he stepped across the threshold, Moros saw Cangxuan and Danzhu, each carrying a huge cardboard box, swaying as they walked towards him.

　"Lord Moros!"

　Upon seeing the necromancer, Danzhu and Cangxuan's eyes immediately lit up.

　They knew that with Moros's help, their current task would be much easier.

　Sure enough, seeing how hard they were carrying the boxes, Moros casually waved his hand and cast a spell to lighten the weight of the two huge cardboard boxes.

　Immediately, the two sisters were pleasantly surprised to find that the weight in their arms had lessened considerably.

Chapter 656 Mebius' Attempt to Replicate the Demon

　Moros showed a relatively friendly attitude towards the sisters dressed in red and blue.

　After all, even if you raise a puppy, you can develop a bond with it over time.

　Not to mention beautiful and charming girls like Danzhu and Cangxuan?

　Although Moros hadn't yet developed any strange feelings towards them, that didn't stop him from viewing the sisters as friendly beings.

　Since they are considered a friendly unit, it is reasonable to provide them with some assistance within our capabilities.

　"This is what you are doing?"

　After lightening the workload of Danzhu and Cangxuan, Moros asked casually.

　"The doctor told us to take these things to the underground processing room."

　As he spoke, Cang Xuan moved a little closer to ensure that the necromancer could clearly see the items inside the cardboard box.

　Moros glanced quickly at the strange creature inside the glass jar in the cardboard box, his expression somewhat subtle.

　If he was not mistaken, the creature imprisoned in the glass jar appeared to be a huge and bloated worm.

　Is it a replica of the Demon Worm?

　Having reached this conclusion, Moros was not at all surprised.

　Ever since he last carried out a hero template promotion mission, when he extracted demonological knowledge from the Abyss and selected the harmless and educational information to give to Mebius, he had already foreseen the birth of this kind of creature.

　Given Mebius's endless pursuit of infinity and evolution, it would be strange if she could resist trying to create such a creature.

　A knowing smile flashed in his eyes, and Moros said casually.

　"I see, Mebius always manages to surprise me."

　Hearing him say that, Danzhu blinked her big, curious eyes, seemingly very interested in what Moros had said.

　“Mr. Moros, do you know what these worms are used for? They look... unusual.”

　Smiling, Moros turned to her and explained in the simplest and most understandable language possible.

　"These worms were created as experimental materials to study the evolutionary mechanisms of a specific organism. Möbius will use these organisms to explore the life cycle and evolutionary mysteries of that organism. Of course, all of this will be done under the premise of ensuring safety, so you don't need to worry too much."

　Upon hearing Moros's somewhat vague explanation, Cang Xuan knew that some key information was not suitable for them to know.

　So, just as Danzhu was about to ask something else, Cangxuan stopped her in time.

　"So, Mr. Moros, now that you know about our mission, does that mean we can proceed to the underground processing room? The Doctor is still waiting for our report."

　Cang Xuan asked politely.

　"Of course, you can continue."

　As he spoke, Moros stepped aside, adding a reminder at the same time.

　"However, be careful of those worms. Although they are imitations, who knows what unknown properties they might have? Safety first is always the best policy."

　"Thank you, sir!"

　After thanking Moros in unison, Danzhu and Cangxuan left with the two cardboard boxes in their arms.

　They were to take the contents of the two boxes to the biodegradation pool underground at the research institute, as instructed by Mebius, for further processing.

　After doing Danzhu and Cangxuan a small favor, Moros continued steadily along the laboratory corridor, eventually reaching the core area at the deepest part of the laboratory.

　After strict access control verification, the heavy door opened silently.

　As he ventured deeper into the laboratory, Moros immediately spotted Möbius, who was dressed in a neat white lab coat.

　She was standing in front of the control panel of a high-end-looking culture chamber, intently operating various complex instruments.

　Through the transparent glass walls of the incubation chamber, the necromancer could clearly observe that a creature with a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to the Fearful Demon was gradually taking shape inside.

　However, in the eyes of this demigod who had personally ventured into the abyss, this artificial creature was still significantly inferior to the cowardly demons among the Tanari.

　If he wasn't mistaken, this artificial creature was indeed comparable to, or even slightly superior to, the Fearless in terms of physical strength, but it seemed to be completely lacking in magical abilities.

　If Mebius's goal was merely to pursue the ultimate in physical strength, she would never have gone to such lengths to try and replicate the traits of the Fearful Demon using Honkai energy technology.

　In other words, this artificial creature was merely a stepping stone for Möbius's scientific exploration, an intermediate product that had not yet reached perfection.

　Moros was not surprised by such intermediate products.

　After all, such products are the norm in scientific research.

　Even for a brilliant scientist as talented as Möbius, such intermediate products were by no means isolated cases in her research career.

　"You resolved it so quickly?"

　Noticing the laboratory door opening and closing, Möbius turned around with slight surprise.

　In her memory, Danzhu and Cangxuan had never been that efficient.

　Then she saw Moros smiling and greeting her.

　"Moros".

　Nodding, Möbius turned her head back and continued her research.

　However, the necromancer who knew her well could keenly sense that this beautiful scientist had begun to devote some of her attention to him.

　Without disturbing Möbius's experiment, Moros stood quietly to the side, observing silently.

　Only after Möbius had finished his work and the artificial creature in the incubation chamber had fully taken shape did he slowly speak.

　"Mobius..."

　Before he could finish speaking, Mebius turned around.

　“Moros, you’ve come at just the right time. Take a look at my latest research results, the culmination of my perfect fusion of Honkai energy technology and Abyss knowledge.”

　Sensing the excitement in Mebius's words, Moros also became interested.

　With a slight thought, he quietly cast several spells to detect the state of the creature, beginning to analyze its condition and characteristics in detail.

　"This is?!"

　Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered some astonishing secret, and his pupils contracted sharply.

　Noticing the subtle change in Moros's expression, Mebius smiled proudly.

　"That's right, I successfully replaced magic with Honkai energy and created this unprecedented life form."

　With his gaze fixed on the creature inside the incubation chamber, Moros was filled with awe.

　As a demigod-level necromancer, he deeply understood the essential difference between Honkai energy and magic power, and was even more able to appreciate the extraordinary wisdom contained in Mebius's feat.

　"Seriously... I don't know what to say."

　With a heartfelt sigh, Moros strode forward and walked straight toward Möbius.

　When he walked up behind her, driven by his emotions, he gently embraced her.

Chapter 657 The Shy Mebius

　Caught off guard by Moros's sudden embrace, Mebius seemed frozen in place for a moment, completely immobilized.

　The lab report, clutched tightly in my hand, slipped silently from my grasp, its delicate clinking echoing clearly in the empty, quiet laboratory.

　Her body stiffened at first, but in an instant, that stiffness melted away like ice and snow under the warm spring sun.

　In this warm embrace, Möbius seemed to have found a long-lost sense of support, and an indescribable comfort and sense of acceptance rippled through his heart.

　“Moros…”

　Mebius called out Moros's name softly, his voice carrying a hint of surprise, but more so of tenderness and relief.

　She slowly stretched out her hands and unconsciously placed them gently on his waist, her eyes sparkling with a complex and subtle light.

　It was a mixture of surprise and gratitude, a fusion of emotion and shyness, and a subtle, almost imperceptible, appreciation and joy for this unexpected intimacy.

　The two embraced quietly, and time seemed to stand still for a minute or two, Mebius himself couldn't tell for sure.

　In her world, this moment was stretched out infinitely, filled with endless warmth and sweetness.

　However, subjective feelings cannot change the objective physical rules of reality.

　Just as Möbius was basking in this unexpected happiness, the laboratory door opened again.

　"Doctor, we've completed... the mission..."

　Danju's eyes widened suddenly as she stared in disbelief at Moros and Mebius, who were tightly embracing each other, as if she were witnessing something incredible.

　Cang Xuan was equally astonished. The mission report in her hand slipped unconsciously and gently touched the ground, making a soft sound that broke the silence.

　Their gazes darted back and forth between Moros and Mebius, as if they were trying to process what they were seeing.

　They had never seen Mebius so gentle and relaxed, let alone the obvious intimacy between her and Moros.

　However, Cang Xuan, whose survival instincts were always at their peak, quickly regained her senses and reacted swiftly.

　"Excuse me, Doctor, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Please continue..."

　As she spoke, she grabbed Danzhu's arm, and the two of them ran towards the laboratory door as if fleeing the scene, leaving behind a trail of footsteps that gradually faded into the distance.

　Moros and Mebius were abruptly pulled back to reality by this sudden interlude. Their eyes met, revealing the same surprise and a hint of reluctance to part.

　However, this reluctance was quickly replaced by a blush on Mebius's face.
