Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Those beings who were allowed to enter by the Cocoon of the End, even if they possess great power, are by no means a real threat to Moros.

　In this environment, Moros knew that he had enough time to prepare, plan, and wait.

　As for the potential threats posed by the Cocoon of the End itself?

　By now, the necromancer has begun to realize what's going on.

　Although he was still puzzled by the details of the whole incident, he was certain that the Cocoon of the End did not seem to have any intention of attacking him.

　That is why time, which was once an enemy, has now become his friend.

　Admittedly, vampires are long-lived, not immortal.

　Even the most powerful vampires in the Ashan world—the demigod-level vampire lords—have their lives come to an end naturally.

　However, this end was almost as long as the lifespan of a planet.

　For Moros, a necromancer who has lived for less than thirty years, such a time span is undoubtedly an extreme luxury.

　He possessed all the magical knowledge of the Ashan World Cemetery faction, which gave him unparalleled confidence.

　The necromancer firmly believed that during this long period of time, he would once again achieve a breakthrough in his life level.

　Furthermore, if he could ignite the legendary divine fire and raise the throne, then for Moros, immortality would no longer be an unattainable dream, but rather a destiny he was destined to achieve.

　Such a vision for the future naturally gave necromancers more patience and composure.

　Therefore, after receiving a response from Vervie, Moros did not urge her again.

　He quietly walked to the porthole of the Ark ship and gazed at the dark and deep universe outside the window through the cracked reinforced glass.

　Just then, a light and elegant footstep sounded, stirring the necromancer's thoughts.

　"Moros, you're here."

　Eden's voice was warm and delicate, with a hint of barely perceptible laughter.

　She walked gracefully toward Moros, her golden eyes sparkling with care and love.

　Upon hearing Eden's familiar and moving call, Moros turned his head, a look of surprise and admiration flashing in his eyes as he gazed at Eden.

　At this moment, Eden was wearing a long dress with red and black intertwined, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, like a spider lily blooming in the night, cleverly intertwining with the surrounding science fiction atmosphere, showing a beauty that transcends the mundane and is breathtaking.

　Her wine-red hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few stray strands brushing against her fair, jade-like face, adding to her unadorned, natural charm.

　Seemingly sensing the undisguised amazement in Moros's eyes, a shy blush quietly rose on Eden's exquisite and flawless cheeks.

　"My love, what are you looking at?"

　Eden asked with a hint of mischief and teasing.

　Upon hearing Eden's question, the necromancer's lips curled into a slight smile.

　"Of course it's you, my Eden, you attract my gaze more than the universe outside the window."

　As he spoke, he turned around and embraced Eden's mature and beautiful body tightly.

　Feeling

　Her body temperature, the faint fragrance in her hair—once again, Moros deeply felt the beauty of the world.

　Being embraced so tenderly by his beloved, Eden's heart was filled with gentle ripples.

　Her hands unconsciously wrapped around the necromancer's waist, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and savored this rare moment of peace and intimacy.

　The two embraced quietly, time seemed to lose its meaning at that moment, and everything around them became blurry and distant.

　The universe outside the Ark was still vast and deep, dotted with starlight, but for them, this small space was their whole world.

Chapter 748 Goodbye, Marvin

　Goodbye, Marvin.

　Standing in front of the porthole on the bridge of the Charon-class corvette, the blue-haired girl gazed at the dilapidated Ark-class corvette in the distance, a feeling of indescribable reluctance welling up in her heart.

　Just minutes earlier, Velvi had completed the final migration of the data stored on the Ark.

　Then, she and Mebius passed through the vortex-shaped portal, which glowed with a faint blue magical light, and arrived at the bridge of the spaceship.

　The bridge of the Ark ship was not very spacious, so Gretchen naturally heard the conversation between Velvie and Morros earlier.

　She knew that after copying all the data stored in the Ark's data center, the Ark's self-destruct program would be activated.

　Although Gretchen was reluctant to accept this decision, she could understand the reasons behind it.

　The expert didn't deliberately avoid talking to the necromancer, and Gretsch naturally understood how dangerous it was to let a colony ship carrying all the information of human civilization in this era, as well as Earth's coordinates, wander in the sea of ​​stars.

　In order to prevent alien civilizations or other unknown threats from the depths of the universe from finding us one day in the future, it would be extremely wise and reasonable to let the already inoperable Ark destroy itself.

　Yes, at this moment the Ark ship has lost power and is completely unable to move on its own.

　Dr. Mei is indeed one of the three most outstanding scientists of this era.

　However, the time left for her was ultimately too limited.

　Limited by the era, the warp drive she developed could hardly be considered stable.

　It could even be said that the warp drive on the Ark was merely a desperate last-ditch effort in a moment of desperation.

　In normal times, you can't expect such a seemingly high-end device to be of any use.

　In fact, the warp drive on the Ark ship did go out of control when it was started.

　If it weren't for Moros's personal intervention, the entire Ark would probably have been torn to shreds by the rampant Honkai energy released by the out-of-control warp engines and the distorted spacetime.

　Even with the help of necromancer magic, the Ark could only barely maintain the general integrity of its hull structure.

　The propulsion system of this massive colony ship, which is over three thousand meters long, has completely collapsed due to the loss of control of the warp drive.

　While it's not entirely beyond repair, it's clearly a massive undertaking.

　However, for Morros and Velvey, compared to the spaceship they were aboard—the Charon-class light frigate—a larger version of a colony ship—the Ark-ship—was clearly not worth spending a lot of time repairing.

　After successfully obtaining the data stored on the Ark ship, the most appropriate option is to completely destroy it.

　However, understanding is one thing, but emotional reluctance is another.

　Marvin, the shipborne AI of the Ark, a partner who had always been by Gretsch's side, was about to disappear with the self-destruction of the Ark, which naturally filled Gretsch with reluctance.

　Getting back to the main point, as the Charon-class corvette slowly sailed away from the Ark, the countdown numbers on the bridge of the Ark finally reached zero.

　At that very moment, the self-destruct program was activated.

　The instant the countdown reached zero, a blinding red light suddenly erupted from the bridge of the Ark ship.

　The sirens and emergency evacuation orders mingled and echoed in the empty and silent bridge, only adding to the desolation and despair.

　Because currently, no one on the Ark ship is able to respond to these commands.

　Meanwhile, inside the Ark ship's engine room, the ship's onboard Honkai energy reactor responded to the self-destruct sequence and entered an extremely unstable overload state.

　As the Honkai energy reactor in the engine room overloaded, the Ark ship was gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and the entire ship began to tremble violently.

　Under the tearing force, the Ark ship's hull structure began to groan under the strain, and the metal and alloy twisted and deformed under extreme temperature and pressure, with cracks spreading rapidly like a spider web.

　Inside the bridge, the displays dimmed one by one, accompanied by faint flashes caused by a short circuit, plunging the entire bridge into a depressing silence.

　Only the constantly flashing red warning lights stubbornly shone, witnessing the imminent demise of this giant ship.

　Inside the Ark ship's engine room, the Honkai energy reactor finally reached the brink of collapse.

　Boundary point.

　Immediately afterwards, a visible surge of Honkai energy erupted from the power compartment, instantly engulfing the entire ship.

　This energy was so powerful that it formed a dazzling yet awe-inspiring light in the universe.

　Amidst the light, the Ark ship's hull began to collapse and disintegrate, with huge fragments scattering in all directions, streaking across the dark universe like a meteor shower.

　Although she couldn't hear anything, Gretsch, with her extraordinary sensitivity as a fusion warrior, clearly witnessed everything that was happening.

　Goodbye, Marvin.

　The girl's soft, sweet voice echoed in the bridge, trembling slightly.

　As the Ark disintegrated, its once dazzling light gradually faded into the vast universe, leaving only scattered fragments that slowly spun in the boundless darkness.

　Gretchen's gaze followed the fragments intently until they gradually receded into the distance and finally disappeared from sight.

　"let's go."

　Mebius's voice rang out at just the right moment in the bridge, piercing through the cold and silent atmosphere.

　She walked over to Gretchen and gently patted her shoulder, silently conveying comfort and strength.

　The blue-haired girl nodded and didn't say anything more.

　Seeing that Mebius had successfully appeased Gretchen, Moros glanced at the expert standing to the side.

　After receiving a signal from her lover, Velvi skillfully began operating the control panel.

　Indeed, the Charon-class light corvette is essentially powered by a magically generated "Undead Engine".

　However, this does not mean that this behemoth with a total mass approaching 100,000 tons cannot be controlled using conventional operating methods.

　However, the conventional control mode not only requires profound professional knowledge as support, but also harbors the hidden danger of being stripped of control at any time by the artificial soul aggregate inside the warship.

　Vervie, who was focused on maneuvering the warship, was well aware of this.

　However, she didn't care about it at all.

　As the beloved partner of the necromancer Moros, she had absolute trust and reliance on him.

　She believed her lover had unparalleled control over his undead units.

　As long as her emotional bond with Morros remains strong, such a potential threat can be completely ignored.

　With Vervier's skillful maneuvering on the control panel, the Charon-class light frigate slowly adjusted its course and headed towards the location of Earth.

　Before setting off for Venus to establish a colony, they need to return to Earth.

Chapter 749 Vita

　"They're gone."

　On the vast and desolate surface of Mars, a stunningly beautiful woman with gray hair and red eyes sat serenely atop a mountain half-buried in sand and gravel.

　Her gaze pierced through the boundless desert, settling on a fleeting flash of light in the sky.

　Bathed in the dazzling light that burst forth as the Ark disintegrated, the woman's alluring and graceful curves were vividly outlined.

　Her smooth, flowing hair, cascading down like a waterfall, shimmered with a greyish sheen and fell naturally to her hips.

　The light gray stockings clung tightly to the woman's long, slender thighs, not only outlining her rounded and plump leg contours, but also appearing even more alluring under the light of the exploding Ark.

　"What do we do next?"

　The woman's voice was clear and melodious, but if you listened carefully, you could easily detect a hint of eager excitement mixed in with it.

　"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to understand the power of the final apostle of the Abyss (the Venusians' unique name for the Honkai). Shall we give it a try?"

　As if talking to herself, the woman slowly straightened up, stretching out her graceful and charming figure.

　"Yes, yes, I will act cautiously and will not do anything unnecessary."

　With that, the gray-haired, red-eyed woman bent her knees and leaped, transforming into an almost imperceptible streak of light, rushing towards the vast universe at an astonishing speed.

　alt=Vita/

　Despite being limited by the technological level of the era, the Velvey failed to develop a warp drive, forcing the Charon-class light corvettes to rely on traditional navigation methods to return to Earth, but their speed was still quite impressive.

　Compared to the Ark-class corvettes that chased the flames, the Charon-class corvettes were incredibly fast.

　It can easily complete the long journey from Mars orbit to Earth in just 7 to 8 days.

　Compared to spacecraft on Earth that take approximately 180 days to complete the same journey, the Charon-class light frigate's speed is undoubtedly a perfect match for its role as a spacefaring vessel.

　The identity and role of warships.

　This is precisely why this type of warship does not need to be equipped with a hibernation pod.

　As a spaceship designed specifically for use within star systems, the Charon-class light frigate is fully capable of successfully completing a long-distance voyage from Earth to the Kuiper Belt within a 150-day timeframe.

　Obviously, such a "short" voyage would not require the use of hibernation pods or other auxiliary equipment to maintain the crew's physiological state.

　"This technology is truly amazing."

　After listening to the expert's detailed explanation, the blue-haired girl couldn't help but express her sincere admiration.
