Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The Herrscher of the End's cold voice echoed in the void, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

　Before she could finish speaking, her figure became blurry again.

　This time, the Herrscher of the End did not choose to open a new portal, but instead directly reproduced the power of the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void—manipulating space.

　The Honkai energy rays and missiles that had been swallowed by the azure portal and then reappeared suddenly solidified in mid-air under the will of the Herrscher of the End.

　Then, as if gently manipulated by an invisible hand, these attacks hovered in the air in a strange and mysterious trajectory, eventually slowly turning towards the direction of the undead legion.

　Given the terrifying strength of the Herrscher of the End, who was at the pinnacle of demigod power, she had naturally already sensed the existence of the undead army.

　However, she had previously shown no interest in these beings, whom she considered like ants.

　interest.

　But now that the necromancer has made his move, she naturally doesn't mind targeting the undead army to test the necromancer's strength.

　The Herrscher of the End has always maintained a high level of attention towards the necromancer who is of particular interest to the Cocoon of the End.

　At least, in the confrontation with the necromancer, she went all out from the very beginning, without the slightest slackness or recklessness.

　This is completely different from the Herrscher of the End's ease and playful demeanor when fighting against heroes like Kevin.

　Moros had no intention of changing his strategy in the face of the Honkai energy rays and missiles that were once again thrown at him by the Herrscher of the End.

　He succinctly repeated his previous actions, using the super magic skill of [Instant Spell Casting] to instantly unleash the level 5 adventure magic [Town Portal], deflecting the incoming attacks once again towards the Herrscher of the End.

　The necromancer's thoughts are not hard to understand.

　Currently, his confrontation with the Herrscher of the End is still in a tentative stage, and he is unwilling to reveal his trump card too early at this stage.

　After all, unlike the enemies he had faced before, this time he was facing the Herrscher of the End, who possessed the ultimate strength of a demigod.

　He had never fought a battle that was so challenging for someone of a higher level.

　The battle against the Eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, was fundamentally different from this one.

　Admittedly, Cocoon of the End logged in to fight for someone else during that battle, but she was just an ordinary Herrscher of the high-level legendary rank.

　Even with the intervention of the Cocoon of the End, it only raised his strength from the high-level legendary rank to the demigod rank, putting him at the same level as Moros at that time.

　But now, the situation has changed dramatically.

　The Herrscher of the End is a terrifying being with the ultimate strength of a demigod, not to mention the Cocoon of the End, which could intervene in the battle at any time as a backup.

　Faced with such a powerful opponent, every bit of strength and every trump card could be the key to the final victory or defeat, or even to one's own life.

　Therefore, in this stage, which is essentially still a process of mutual probing, Moros has no intention of revealing his hand.

Chapter 727 The Battle of the Heroes

　As time went on, the intensity of the battle between Moros and the Herrscher of the End continued to rise.

　Soon, they were too exhausted to spare any more energy to deal with Kevin and the other three heroes.

　However, before that, in order to prevent Kevin and the others from interfering with her duel with the necromancer, the Herrscher of the End casually summoned a group of Honkai Beasts to restrain her.

　Although these Honkai Beasts are merely temporary cannon fodder summoned arbitrarily by the Herrscher of the End to buy time, if they were placed on Earth, they would constitute a terrifying Honkai Beast horde.

　It was a massive beast tide composed of thousands of Honkai Emperors, including many high-ranking Honkai Beasts such as Emperor-class and Judgment-class Honkai Beasts.

　Such a large Honkai beast tide is unlikely to pose a substantial threat to Kevin, Kosmo, Hua, and Aponia.

　However, it was more than enough to hold them back for a short time and ensure they could not intervene in the final battle between the Herrscher of the End and the necromancer.

　"hateful……"

　With his fists encased in black and gold gauntlets, Hua smashed the core of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, then glanced resentfully at the escalating battle in the sky.

　There, the battle between the necromancer and the Herrscher of the End continues.

　Beneath the crimson clouds that completely shrouded half of the moon's back sky, the falling fire rain and meteorites clearly indicated the fierce battle unfolding there.

　Compared to the battlefield that truly decides everything, the battlefield where she and Kevin were located, though equally intense, lacked the grandeur and urgency of a battlefield that determines fate and shakes the heavens and earth.

　"I can't do anything..."

　With a swift movement, Hua deftly dodged the [Cut-Down Charge] launched by an Ice Emperor, and once again unleashed a fist carrying terrifying power capable of piercing through the main armor of a spaceship, slamming it heavily onto the body of this Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

　Having taken a heavy blow from Hua, the Ice Emperor could no longer maintain its swift, spinning wing-based charge and was sent flying, crashing heavily into another Lava Emperor.

　The extreme cold and the blazing heat clashed violently at this moment, triggering a [Melting Explosion] reaction.

　With a violent explosion, both Emperor-class Honkai Beasts suffered severe damage.

　However, even with such a victory, Hua did not show a trace of joy on his face.

　She knew this was nothing to be proud of.

　If even such an achievement cannot be obtained, then the [Floating Life] inscription she possesses will probably weep for it.

　Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield.

　"Please repent at the time of your demise."

　Suspended in mid-air, the brown-haired nun opened her arms.

　As she moved, the vast thunder gathered into a golden ocean, illuminating half of the sky with dazzling brilliance.

　The next moment, countless bolts of lightning poured down, obliterating heads and bodies.

　The massive Honkai Beasts were completely engulfed.

　This is no ordinary Honkai Beast horde, but a Honkai Beast tide composed of powerful Honkai Beasts that have reached at least the Honkai Emperor level.

　If this were to happen on the battlefield of Murmansk, this horde of Honkai beasts would easily destroy Lieutenant General Petrov's legion and completely raze the port city of Murmansk to the ground.

　However, even such a horde of Honkai beasts could not cause any damage to Aponia, who was unleashing her divine judgment.

　At this moment, she has fully activated the [Midoro] gene and entered a state of artificial collapse.

　In this state, Aponia has firmly established herself at the pinnacle of the highly legendary rank, and is only one step away from the lofty demigod rank.

　Although in most cases, this one line difference is worlds apart.

　However, when facing Honkai Beasts that are at most Legendary rank, such a difference is almost negligible.

　It seems there are no problems with Hua and Aponia...

　Kevin glanced at Hua and Aponia on the lunar battlefield out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

　Having dodged the [Cursed Ice Bullet] spat out by a dragon-shaped Judgment-class Honkai Beast resembling Benares, this Fusion Warrior, already in a state of artificial collapse, mobilized the powerful force of the [Parvati] gene, instantly releasing countless ice spikes to pierce another dragon-shaped Judgment-class Honkai Beast that was taking the opportunity to approach.

　Everything returns to zero!

　Although these ice spikes may not look particularly remarkable, the terrifying power they carry is enough to easily pierce through the sturdy Honkai energy shield and thick biological carapace of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast.

　Under the overwhelming barrage of ice spikes, the dragon-shaped Judgment-class Honkai Beast that attempted to launch a sneak attack let out a desperate wail before helplessly plummeting towards the desolate surface of the moon.

　After successfully killing yet another Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Kevin's eyes did not show much joy.

　Like Hua, he was very clear that the real key to victory or defeat in this battle was not here, but in the vast universe far beyond the surface of the moon.

　Admittedly, Kevin was dissatisfied with many of Morros's actions and was also keenly aware that when the dust settled on this battle, the best outcome for them would be nothing more than parting ways.

　More likely, they will become bitter enemies.

　However, even so, Kevin understood an undeniable truth.

　If the Herald of the End cannot be defeated, human civilization will have no future.

　Therefore, he had no choice but to join forces with Moros to fight against the Herrscher of the End, who threatened the survival of humanity.

　With this in mind, Kevin, with his exquisite Honkai energy manipulation skills, quietly conveyed the message he wanted to tell Kosmo to the boy who had already transformed into a demon.

　"Kosmo, we must go and support the necromancer."

　Upon hearing Kevin's words, Kosmo, who had just torn apart a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, involuntarily paused slightly.

　Born on the island of New Zealand, his animosity towards necromancers far surpassed that of Kevin.

　However, this warrior who bears the name of "Ascension" is also well aware of the severity of the current situation.

　Therefore, after pausing briefly and killing another Judgment-class Honkai Beast, he gave a firm answer.

　"clear."

　Just then, a dazzling white light suddenly pierced towards the Herrscher of the End, who was about to open the imaginary space passage and unleash a fierce bombardment of imaginary energy on the necromancer.

　That was the spaceship carrying the Moon Throne system—the Moon Throne.

　Clearly, after the necromancer took the place of the Herrscher of the End, Dr. May also made a decision, no longer holding back, and went all out to assist him in fighting the terrifying Herrscher of the End.

　However, to the utter despair of everyone present, the most powerful weapon ever created by humankind was completely unable to harm this most important apostle under the command of the Cocoon of the End.

　The dazzling white beam of light, before it could even touch the Herrscher of the End's Honkai energy shield, was mercilessly swallowed up by the suddenly opened spatial channel and ultimately vanished into the vast imaginary space.

Chapter 728 Joining Hands to Fight the Enemy

　Gazing at the Moon Throne Ray being swallowed by the spatial passage, Moros showed no surprise whatsoever.

　After the brief but intense probing exchange that had just ended, he had gained a preliminary and comprehensive understanding of the Herrscher of the End's abilities.

　Admittedly, the core power controlled by the Herrscher of the End is indeed [Time], but with this power, this most important apostle under the Cocoon of the End can freely use the powers held by the twelve ordinary Herrschers who descended earlier.

　As for how this was done?

　With the keen perception and vast knowledge that Moros gained after experiencing four leaps in life level, he was still able to glean some clues.

　By retracing the course of time, can we recreate the glory of the Herrscher's core in the past, and thereby activate the corresponding powers...?

　Having made his judgment, the necromancer once again cast [Instant Spell] and [Enhanced Spell]

　The ultimate magic technique elevates the power and range of the legendary spell [Doomsday Judgment] to unprecedented levels.

　He certainly understood that legendary spells like [Doomsday Judgment], which were essentially more suited to legion battles than one-on-one duels between strong individuals, had a negligible chance of causing substantial damage to the Herrscher of the End.

　But Moros understood even more clearly that the magnificent and awe-inspiring power of the Doomsday Judgment was enough to conceal his true tactical intentions, thus creating an excellent opportunity for the spells he had placed his hopes on and carefully prepared to hit their mark.

　Yes, the key is hitting the target.

　After the seemingly intense but actually purely probing exchange, the necromancer had come to a profound realization that sent a chill down his spine.

　Unlike the twelve ordinary Herrschers who descended before, and unlike the first Herrscher of Origin, Alicia, this Herrscher of the End, who recently appeared on the far side of the moon, displays a completely different power profile.

　Even for him, penetrating the solid defenses she had built with the power of the Herrscher of the Void and accurately striking her Honkai energy shield had become an extremely difficult challenge.

　However, correspondingly, it wouldn't be easy for the Herrscher of the End to deflect her attacks onto his magical shield.

　The reasoning behind this is not difficult to understand.

　Without revealing their trump cards, both the Herrscher of the End, who has reached the limit of demigod, and the necromancer, who is only one step away from the realm of demigod, possess numerous means to neutralize the opponent's conventional attacks.

　With their unfathomable energy reserves, attempting to determine a victor through a war of attrition would undoubtedly be a protracted struggle, far beyond what can be resolved in a few tens of minutes.

　Moreover, Moros knew in his heart that in a war of attrition, he was no match for the Herrscher of the End, who possessed the Herrscher Core.

　Therefore, in order to win the battle, he naturally needed to adopt some unconventional tactics.

　The first reaction of the Herrscher of the End to the 【Doomsday Judgment】 is to avoid it.

　This is perfectly reasonable.

　She had previously faced such powerful legendary spells head-on.

　This divine apostle who wields the power of "time" admits that if "Doomsday Judgment" were to truly strike her Honkai energy shield, it would indeed put considerable pressure on it.

　But she also knew that these attacks, which lacked tracking mechanisms and were not very fast, were unlikely to pose a real threat to her.

　As a powerful figure, the necromancer should have been fully aware of this, so why did he insist on casting this spell?

　With this in mind, she abruptly stopped the evasive action she was about to take.

　As it turns out, the Herrscher of the End's judgment was extremely accurate.

　In that instant, three dazzling white lights shot out from different directions, passing the spot she had originally intended to avoid.

　That's the improved Moon Throne system carried by the Paris-class heavy frigates!

　If she were struck by these three incredibly powerful Moon Throne Rays, even as the Herrscher of the End, her Honkai energy shield would likely crumble in the blink of an eye.

　How did he manage to fool my senses?!

　For the first time, the Herrscher of the End's eyes revealed a mixture of shock and anger.

　Sensing the change in the other party's expression, Moros understood that his enhanced Illusion Legion, strengthened with the super-magic technique [Spell Enhancement], had indeed achieved the effect he expected.

　Just now, he cast this level three summoning spell, cleverly disguising the three attacking Paris-class heavy frigates and their Moon Throne Rays as incoming flame bubbles, successfully deceiving the Herrscher of the End's senses.
