Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Since this lunar city rose from the ground, it has always been the unshakable core of power for the Moths of Fire on the moon.

　Even though the Moth of Flames established numerous outposts around the region in order to delve deeper into the temple complex left behind by the ancient civilization that had long been destroyed by the Herrscher of the End, the position of Neo-Atlantis remained as solid as a rock and never wavered in the slightest.

　The reason for this is that the teleportation device connecting the underwater city of Haiyuan City—the Eye of Haiyuan—is located in the core area of ​​this lunar city.

　Or to be more precise, New Atlantis was built around the Eye of the Abyss.

　In the past, with the help of the Eye of the Abyss, the Fire Moth was able to travel between these two very special cities at an extremely low cost and with great convenience.

　It is precisely because of this that the members of the Firemoth who were once stationed in New Atlantis never worried too much about being abandoned in the vast sea of ​​stars.

　However, at this critical moment when the Herrscher of the End is about to descend, the only passage connecting Abyss City and Neo-Atlantis—the Eye of the Abyss—was unilaterally closed by the Earth side.

　Dr. Mei cannot guarantee that the Herrscher of the End, who could descend upon the moon at any moment, will not use the Eye of the Abyss to launch a surprise attack on Earth.

　This is why the Firemoth chose to use a spaceship launched by a heavy-lift rocket to transport the Fusion Warriors to the moon, rather than relying on the Eye of the Abyss.

　To ensure that the final battle against the Herrscher of the End could be fought far from Earth, she decisively decided to shut down the Eye of the Abyss.

　Dr. Mei was well aware of what this decision truly meant, but she still resolutely chose this path.

　For the continuation of human civilization, she is willing to do anything and accept all accusations and insults.

　Therefore, from the moment Prometheus 17 calculated that the last Herrscher would appear on the moon, the members of the Firemoth stationed in Neo-Atlan said goodbye to Earth.

　At that moment, the moon was filled with complaints and chaos, and some even attempted to stop the appearance of the Herrscher by slaughtering everyone on the moon.

　They completely forgot the painful lessons of the Twelfth Herald, and each went their own way, killing one another.

　When the massive fleet, composed entirely of Charon-class light corvettes, reached the far side of the moon, what Moros and Alicia witnessed was this chaotic and desperate scene.

　“If it were before, I would have held a concert here to soothe their hearts with the power of music, but now…”

　An indescribable sorrow welled up in Eden's golden eyes, and he sighed softly.

　"My stage no longer exists. Faced with the despair brought about by the collapse, art seems so insignificant and so powerless."

　"Moros, can you stop this pointless slaughter?"

　Reaching out, she grabbed her lover's sleeve, a deep plea flickering in Alicia's azure eyes.

　God's daughter loves mankind.

　She simply couldn't bear to continue watching the members of the Fire Moths kill each other like this.

　“Alice, this is their own choice. Our time is very precious and we cannot waste it here.”

　Before Morros could answer, Velvi, driven by her extremely evil personality, spoke first.

　She was already dissatisfied with Morros's decision to fight the Herrscher of the End because of Alicia and Eden.

　Now, Miss Pink Fairy's request has brought her dissatisfaction to its peak.

　"Yes...I'm sorry."

　Sensing the accusation in Vervi's words and realizing that her request was inappropriate, Alicia lowered her eyes.

　The atmosphere on the bridge froze at that moment, tense and delicate.

　Just then, Mebius spoke up.

　"Alicia, if you're willing to cooperate with my experiment, I can help you this once."

　Her words carried a hint of transaction, but a barely perceptible concern flickered deep within her pink-green serpentine eyes.

　Clearly, this was Mebius giving Alicia, one of his few close friends, a way out.

　"Wow, thank you! I knew you were the best to me!"

　Upon hearing Mebius's words, Alicia immediately regained her usual energy.

　She excitedly hugged Mebius tightly, completely ignoring his slight resistance.

　Although caught off guard by Alicia's sudden and enthusiastic hug, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Mebius's face.

　Clearly, she quite enjoyed the hug from the pink fairy.

　However, when she inadvertently caught the increasingly obvious teasing and laughter on the faces of the other three people on the bridge, Mebius quickly composed herself.

　"Okay, Alicia, let me go first."

　"I don't want it~"

　Alicia responded playfully.

　Her hands remained tightly clasped around Mebius, seemingly completely immersed in this rare intimacy.

　Realizing that ordinary words would not dissuade Miss Pink Fairy, Mebius shook his head helplessly and decided to take a more direct approach.

　"With you holding me like this, I can't stop those idiots who are killing each other."

　With the lives of the Firemoth members at stake, Alicia had no choice but to reluctantly let go.

　As expected of Alicia, the moment she released her embrace, Mebius swiftly subdued everyone in Neo Atlania with overwhelming force.

　Admittedly, Mebius had very few real battlefield experiences, and his combat experience was practically nonexistent.

　But with her overwhelming strength, comparable to a high-level legendary superhuman, subduing a group of ordinary people who had at most undergone enhancement surgery was still a piece of cake for her.

　Without even leaving the bridge of the Charon-class light corvette, Mebius manipulated the Honkai energy into lightning with his mind, covering the entire Neo Atlantean city like a net, knocking everyone in the lunar city to the ground.

　Of course, she still managed to control the power of the Honkai energy lightning she released.

　Otherwise, it wouldn't be about subduing, but about devastating slaughter.

　After witnessing firsthand, through the shipborne observation system of the Charon-class light frigate, that all the residents of New Atlantis were electrocuted and knocked to the ground without exception, a genuine smile bloomed on Alicia's flawless and beautiful face.

　Seeing this, a smile flashed in Moros's eyes.

　"Alright, now that everything is resolved, I'll proceed with unloading the undead forces that the fleet is carrying."

　Under the will of the necromancer, the fleet, carrying a full 600,000 undead troops, began to lower its flight altitude.

　The fleet remained suspended in the air until it descended to a height at which the three giant elevators in the deployment bay could effectively deploy the shipborne undead forces to the lunar surface.

　Subsequently, these elevators began operating at full capacity.

Chapter 715 The Reaction of the Moth Chasing the Flame and the Cocoon of the End

　To say that the Moths were completely unaware of what was happening in New Atlantis would be unrealistic.

　While unlike Velvi, who leaves room for maneuver in every creation, the Firemoth certainly possesses a secret weapon—the highest level of authority over New Atlantis—that can turn the tide in the most critical moments for a lunar city as vital as New Atlantis.

　With this pre-set highest level of access, even now that the Eye of the Abyss has been closed, Dr. May is still able to perceive every subtle change within New Atlantis.

　However, she showed no intention of interfering with the actions of the necromancers.

　Admittedly, Mebius's actions humiliated the Fire Moth to some extent, but the Honkai energy lightning that swept through the city did effectively quell the unrest within New Atlantis.

　Based on feedback from reconnaissance drones deployed within New Atlantis, Dr. May has confirmed that the lightning strike only temporarily stunned the Moths within New Atlantis and did not endanger their lives.

　Since that's the case, then for the sake of the bigger picture, it's okay to lose face.

　Unlike the members of the Firemoth Council in the past, Dr. May became the leader of the Firemoth entirely because of her impressive wisdom.

　If it were the members of the Moth Chaser Council, they might have made very different choices due to concerns about face and authority, but Dr. May was different.

　She will weigh the pros and cons with a calm and rational attitude and choose the most advantageous option.

　Therefore, even

　Dr. Mei will not waver in the slightest because some officers in the End Operation Command Center feel that the Moth Chaser has been humiliated.

　As for the massive fleet's operation to unload the undead forces near New Atlantis?

　In her eyes, there was absolutely no need to stop it.

　In fact, if she weren't worried that her aid would be misunderstood as having ulterior motives, Dr. May would even have been willing to let the Fire Moths help the necromancer send the undead army to the moon.

　This action, clearly taken to fight the Herrscher of the End to the death, would only be obstructed by short-sighted politicians who only care about immediate interests.

　With Dr. Mei's wisdom, how could she not understand that such actions would not only help fight against the End, but also deplete the power of the necromancer?

　Whether it's to win the final chapter of the Honkai Trial—the Herrscher of the End—or to weaken the power of the necromancers, Dr. May would never interfere with Moros's strategic plan to send the undead army to the moon.

　In Dr. Mei's view, the primary task for the Firemoth right now is not to pay too much attention to the movements of the necromancers, but to go all out to deploy as much combat power as possible to the lunar battlefield.

　Has the Moon Throne already set sail?

　As her thoughts wandered, Dr. Mei turned to ask a researcher in a pristine white lab coat beside her.

　"Yes, Doctor."

　Holding the graphics tablet, the researcher made a couple of quick and efficient gestures before answering.

　"According to our calculations, the Moon Throne is expected to arrive over New Atlantis in two hours, accompanied by a Type II Fusion Warrior Company."

　To mitigate risk and prevent the Herrscher of the End from intercepting the warship en route, Dr. May did not allow the Moon Throne, the spaceship specially customized for Velvet and equipped with the Moon Throne system, to carry Kevin, Thousand Calamities, Kosmo, and other exceptionally powerful Heroic-class Fusion Warriors.

　However, Dr. Mei did not give much special treatment to those second-generation fusion warriors who had transformed with the power of the new super-mutant factor [META-MORPH], whose strength was not as great as Ying Jie's but was still not to be underestimated.

　In order to maximize the overall combat effectiveness of the Flame Chaser in the battle against the Herrscher of the End, she did not hesitate to order the Fusion Warrior Company, which belonged to the Flame Chaser headquarters combat sequence, to board the Moon Throne and travel to New Atlas with the warship.

　They were originally tasked with suppressing the chaos within New Atlantis and providing Kevin and the others with a temporary rest base.

　But since Mebius's Honkai energy lightning has already completed the first half of this mission for her, Dr. Mebius naturally needs to make some corresponding adjustments to the mission of that fusion warrior company.

　“Very good. Then let them speed up their mission after arriving in New Atlantis, and make sure that Kevin and the others have a safe and comfortable temporary rest base when they arrive in New Atlantis.”

　Nodding, Dr. Mei's pale purple eyes flashed with a well-concealed worry.

　She was probably the person on this planet, besides necromancers, who understood the terror of the Herrscher of the End the most.

　However, even so, in order to defeat the Honkai and for the continuation of human civilization, she still had to push her beloved Kevin into the cruel battlefield where they would face the Herrscher of the End.

　Kevin, you have to come back alive...

　The Cocoon of the End, perched high on the bright moon, was certainly aware of the movements of both the necromancer and the fire-chasing moth.

　However, in the eyes of this terrifying being, comparable to a star god, neither the necromancer nor the fire-chasing moth could pose any real threat to him.

　Therefore, the Cocoon of the End is also happy to see the necromancer and the Fire Moth exert all their power to stage a head-on confrontation on the moon with His most powerful apostle, who is also the final trial officer of the Honkai Trial He orchestrated—the Herrscher of the End.

　Of course, this does not mean that He would deliberately delay the arrival of the Herald of the End.

　The deployment and assembly of forces across the stars is also part of the Honkai test.

　If a civilization cannot complete the gathering and deployment of its main forces before the arrival of the Herrscher of the End, it is naturally not qualified to gain His favor.

　It is worth mentioning that the way the Herrscher of the End descended was quite different from the twelve ordinary Herrschers who had appeared in the world before.

　The Herrscher of the End does not follow the traditional descent pattern of a human transforming into a Herrscher body and then metamorphosing into a Herrscher during the Great Collapse.

　She is more similar to Alicia, the Herrscher of Origin.

　When the Honkai energy reaches its limit, and when the final bell tolls, the Herrscher of the End in its complete form will appear directly at the location chosen by the Cocoon of the End.

　This unique way of descending grants the Herrscher of the End the immense power to deliver a final judgment on civilization upon their first arrival.

　However, just as everything has two sides, this method of arrival also makes the arrival speed of the Herrscher of the End seem slower compared to that of ordinary Herrschers.

　Of course, this slight disadvantage is almost negligible compared to the advantages.

　At least in the eyes of the immortal being, the Cocoon of the End, dozens of

　There is no essential difference between hours and tens of seconds.

　I hope you'll let me hug you...

Chapter 716 The Undead Legion Landing on the Moon

　27 hours passed in a flash.

　"With Kevin's abilities, are these seat belts really necessary?"

　Puzzled, the brown-haired cat-eared girl tugged at the black seatbelt on her seat and cast a puzzled look at the mecha girl floating beside her.

　"After the rocket ignites, the spacecraft will experience violent shaking and trembling. Fastening your seatbelt will prevent you from rolling from the front of the spacecraft all the way to the rear."

　The gray-haired, red-eyed girl's voice carried a hint of inorganic coldness, yet she explained clearly.

　"Or perhaps you yearn to experience such an adventure? I can certainly satisfy your curiosity."

　As he spoke, Prometheus prepared to unbuckle the seatbelt on Padophilus's seat.

　"Aha~"

　The image of herself tumbling awkwardly inside the spaceship's cabin involuntarily flashed through her mind, and Padophilia quickly reached out to stop Prometheus's actions.
