Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Yes, it's for the sake of human civilization in the next era.

　Based on Dr. Mei's research into the valuable data obtained from the lunar temple complex, she has learned of the existence of the End Cocoon and the cycle of civilization that occurs once every 50,000 years.

　After truly realizing the horror of the Honkai, she no longer held any hope that the Firemoth could overcome the end and defeat the Honkai.

　Dr. Mei now places her hopes for defeating the Honkai in the next generation of civilization.

　Therefore, she had to pave a path to victory for that civilized generation.

　Ignoring the undisguised despair on the officer's face, Dr. Mei spoke firmly.

　“I believe Paddo will be able to complete the mission. Su, can we connect to Paddo's communications now?”

　Upon hearing Dr. Mei's question, the gray-haired youth immediately responded.

　"The signal is stable, and the communication channel of Padofilis has been successfully established."

　The moment the communication was established, Dr. Mei clearly heard the voice coming from Pado's side.

　"Sister Mei, has something unexpected happened?"

　At this moment, Padophilia was standing alone before a bottomless crevice.

　Not far away, five heroes, including Kevin, were engaged in a fierce battle with the Herrscher of the End.

　The battle ravaged the nearby lunar surface, but miraculously, the location where Pado was situated remained intact thanks to their deliberate protection.

　"No, no, you can continue."

　Dr. Mei's voice trembled slightly, and the words that were about to come out disappeared after hearing Pado's voice.

　At this moment, she was somewhat at a loss. She didn't know what to say. She needed Paddo to open the door, but if she did, Paddo would definitely die, and it was Mei herself who caused all of this.

　However, how could the witty Padphilis not understand Dr. May's feelings?

　She left behind only one resolute sentence before resolutely walking towards the crack.

　"Since birth, we've always been about surviving, which is why we've managed to escape so many crises and stay alive until now."

　Despite the dizziness and discomfort caused by the spatial shift, Padofilis continued.

　"But even after I unexpectedly became a fusion warrior, I was still so weak and unable to do anything. Even the cat that was always close to me saw me as an outsider."

　“We’ve watched Desdobia and the other Firemoths become heroes and leave us forever. This time, I don’t want to run away. Sister Mei, don’t worry, with my luck, I will definitely open this door.”

　In the command center, no one spoke, and Pado's signal disappeared after entering the crevice.

　Most of them may have only recently learned of Pado's existence, and after learning about her deeds, they all held her in contempt to some extent.

　But at this moment, Pathophilis showed everyone a different side of herself—a weak yet extremely powerful hero.

　Upon entering the rift, Pado was suddenly confronted with an oval-shaped object with enormous eyes.

　This is exactly the cocoon of the end that Dr. May described before she boarded the spaceship.

　Cocoon scrutinized the unauthorized visitor, and Pado was so frightened by this invisible sense of oppression that her tail involuntarily stood up high.

　However, Jianjian did not immediately show any intention to attack. She suppressed her fear and kept encouraging herself.

　Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

　Then, she mustered her courage and walked straight toward the mysterious and terrifying cocoon of the end.

　When Pado began trying to open the door under the watchful eye of the cocoon, her nervousness caused her to make a series of mistakes.

　Although Dr. May had told her that how to open the door depended entirely on her own choices and intuition, because her plan itself was unlikely to succeed, all she could rely on was Paddo's incredible luck, which might lead her to stumble upon the door through countless attempts.

Chapter 723 The Seeds Planted by the Soul Steel Body

　Just as she was about to touch the door, fear gripped Padofilis's heart like a cold iron chain, making it almost impossible for her to take another step forward.

　Just then, a deep and mysterious voice echoed in her mind.

　"You will die after you open the door."

　The brown-haired, cat-eared girl suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed on the mysterious cocoon of the end.

　Her intuition told her that the voice in her mind originated from this ancient and powerful being.

　However, Padofilis was not intimidated by this sudden warning.

　She took a deep breath, her azure eyes gleaming with determination and fearlessness, and responded silently to that voice with her actions.

　At that moment, she reached out without hesitation and pushed open the door that connected the mysterious space where the Cocoon of the End was located with the surface of the moon.

　The instant the door opened, an immeasurable surge of Honkai energy violently swept in, almost instantly engulfing her entire body in this destructive force.

　"Everyone, look!"

　"Did we get there? We...did it!"

　As Dr. May's most trusted assistant and another key figure in the invasion of the End Cocoon Project, Prometheus 17 was naturally well-versed in the details of the entire plan.

　Therefore, she kept a close eye on Padophilia's every move until she disappeared into that bottomless crevice.

　That is why, after Padophilia opened the door, Prometheus did not miss this precious opportunity that Padophilia had fought for with her life.

　"Doctor, I'm off."

　After sending her final communication to Earth, the gray-haired, red-eyed mecha girl boarded a high-speed aircraft specially built for her.

　According to Dr. May's plan, New Atlas will use an electromagnetic catapult system to precisely launch this high-speed aircraft into the door opened by Pado.

　However, at this very moment, an unexpected problem arose.

　Due to the previous fierce battle with the Herrscher of the End, all of Neo Atlan's Honkai reactors suffered devastating damage.

　Currently, the lunar city is unable to provide the necessary energy for the electromagnetic catapult system specifically prepared for this operation.

　Having learned of this information from the intelligent system that manages New Atlantis, Dr. May, who knew that the door to the mysterious space where the Cocoon of the End was located would not exist for long, made a very decisive choice.

　"Cut off the energy supply to the life support system to ensure that the electromagnetic catapult system receives sufficient energy."

　Dr. May was well aware of what her order meant.

　Under her command, all the Firemoth members stranded in New Atlantis would inevitably perish in the cruel and harsh environment of outer space due to the shutdown of their life support systems.

　but……

　I'm sorry, but for the future of humanity, for the sake of human civilization in the next era to overcome the end, your sacrifices are necessary...

　Silently confirming the order in her mind, Dr. May used her highest authority to grant it.

　After obtaining Dr. May's formal authorization, the electromagnetic catapult system, which was specially prepared for this operation, began to slowly start up.

　Despite losing the support of the Honkai energy reactor, the electromagnetic catapult system still emitted a deep and powerful roar as the life support system's energy was urgently called upon.

　Driven by the powerful electromagnetic force, the high-speed aircraft shot like an arrow toward the door that Padophilia had opened with her life.

　Inside the cramped and compact cabin of the high-speed aircraft, Prometheus could clearly feel the violent vibrations of the aircraft during acceleration.

　Just as the aircraft was about to pass through the door, a dazzling light burst forth from the door, enveloping the entire aircraft.

　Prometheus 17 felt an indescribable, powerful force violently pulling at her body, as if to drag her into a completely different, strange world.

　She closed her eyes tightly, focusing intently on the dramatic changes in her surroundings.

　As the dazzling light gradually faded, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar and strange space.

　This place is filled with vibrant colors, as dazzling as a dream.

　At the center of the space, the most eye-catching feature is the majestic and imposing Cocoon of the End.

　Warning! An excessively high concentration of Honkai energy has been detected in the environment. The unit is expected to lose its mobility in 15 minutes…

　Although Dr. Mei spared no expense in using a large amount of resources to create a body entirely made of Soul Steel for Prometheus 17 for this invasion of the Cocoon of the End, even this body made entirely of Soul Steel could only maintain its movement for 15 minutes under the continuous erosion of the incredibly concentrated Honkai energy in this space.

　However, Prometheus had no time to heed the machine's emergency alarms at that moment.

　The reason is very simple.

　The enormous and mysterious cocoon of the end was watching her with a keen interest.

　However, even though it felt the gaze from the cocoon, Prometheus 17 did not back down.

　She knew that her mission was to contact the Cocoon of the End and find the right opportunity to invade, hoping to open up a glimmer of hope for the future of humanity.

　So, she carefully moved forward, manipulating her soul steel body.

　After a difficult ten-minute trek, she finally arrived at the Cocoon of the End.

　This ancient and powerful being stood there silently, watching her approach step by step with its profound gaze, without making any other moves.

　Prometheus 17 knew that he was facing an unprecedented and severe challenge.

　But she was not deterred in the slightest. Instead, she mustered her courage, stretched out her strong arms forged from soul steel, and bravely tried to touch the mysterious cocoon of the end.

　Just as her fingertips were about to touch the Cocoon of Ending, an indescribably powerful energy surge suddenly erupted from the cocoon, sweeping over like a storm, as if...

　We must destroy her soul steel body directly.

　However, Prometheus 17 did not back down an inch; she continued to advance resolutely.

　To her surprise, the Cocoon of the End did not actually attack her.

　This ancient and powerful being seemed to have taken a liking to her, allowing her to continue exploring.

　Test...or trap...?

　Although Prometheus 17 was slightly surprised, it quickly regained its composure.

　She keenly realized that this might be her only chance.

　Therefore, without hesitation, she manipulated her Soul Steel body and resolutely touched the surface of the Cocoon of the End.

　At that very moment, due to contact with excessively high concentrations of Honkai energy, Prometheus 17's Soul Steel body began to show signs of collapse.

　She raised her hand, her gaze calmly watching her body gradually disintegrate, a faint smile blooming on her face.

　Doctor, my mission is complete...

Chapter 724 The Flames of Calamity Finally Extinguished

　At the same time that Prometheus 17 came into contact with the Cocoon of the End, on the main battlefield, Kevin and Thousand Calamities were also completely suppressed by the Herrscher of the End.

　Even though they had entered a state of artificial collapse, and even though Kosmo, Hua, and Aponia, three powerful individuals who also used artificial collapse, were fighting side by side, the balance of the battle still relentlessly tilted in the direction of humanity.

　No matter how hard Qianjie's fist was, or how high the temperature of the flames attached to it was, none of his attacks could penetrate the Honkai energy shield on the surface of the Herrscher of the End's body.

　The same thing happened to Kevin.

　Even if he wielded the Third Divine Key, the Judgment Key, and the Seven Lightnings of Purification, and even if he had exhausted all his strength to extract every bit of potential hidden deep within the [Parvati] gene, he could only stir up a negligible ripple on the Herrscher of the End's Honkai energy shield. He was completely unable to break through this Honkai energy shield and cause any substantial damage to the Herrscher of the End.

　On the other hand, the Herrscher of the End's every attack was enough to force Kevin and Qianjie to dodge with all their might, daring not to relax in the slightest.

　They had all been confident in their superior strength, having withstood a single blow from the Herrscher of the End.

　But it was this experience that made them realize that the Herrscher of the End's attack had far exceeded the limits that the Fusion Warriors could withstand.

　If it weren't for Kosmo, Hua, and Aponia stepping forward in time and also entering the artificially collapsed area to relieve some of the pressure on Kevin and Qianjie, they would probably have been seriously injured by the Herrscher of the End and unable to fight anymore.

　If this continues, we are doomed to defeat...

　Realizing the battle was spiraling towards defeat, Kevin desperately sought a way out.

　But when facing a terrifying enemy like the Herrscher of the End, who possesses the ultimate strength of a demigod, how easy is it to turn the tide?

　Fortunately, one of them was able to unleash a power far greater than that of a man-made collapse.

　"Qian Jie, I need your help."

　"Hahaha……"

　Upon hearing Kevin's words through the communicator, Qianjie let out a laugh that could only be described as maniacal.

　“Anger, hatred, struggle, extinction, accept it all, and use it to forge the painful scars.”

　In his frenzied words, he had transformed into a raging inferno.

　"Fight, battle, slaughter, annihilation—remember all of this, and let it sound the horn of destruction."

　At this moment, Qianjie finally revealed his ultimate trump card—[Cognitive Alienation].

　"Enemies, just kill them. Those who block the way, just kill them. Potential threats, just kill them. All foreign objects, just kill them!"

　The so-called "cognitive alienation" is essentially the exchange of losing reason for unparalleled power.
