Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　She was unsure of Morros's attitude towards Rin, and even less aware of the feelings her real sister—the Rin from the world she was born in—would have for her, who was trapped in the world bubble.

　However, as a top assassin who had earned the name "Forget-Me-Not" in the underworld of the pre-civilization era, Sakura's inner worries did not affect her reaction.

　She gave an answer almost immediately after Ling asked the question.

　"Ling, the power of necromancers is indeed beyond ordinary imagination, but the creation of this spaceship is not simply the crystallization of magic. It is a miracle where technology and magic intertwine, a brilliant spark ignited by the collision of wisdom between Lord Moros and Lady Velvet..."

　Sakura then briefly introduced Rin to the necromancer's four lovers.

　It was at this moment that they all felt the Paris-class heavy frigate they were aboard suddenly begin to shake violently.

　"Sister Sakura, what's going on?"

　Sakura answered Rin's question with composure.

　"Ling, don't panic. This is normal when the warship leaves the World Bubble. We will soon enter the Sea of ​​Quanta."

　Just as Sakura had said, it wasn't long before this small fleet of 24 Paris-class heavy frigates successfully broke free from the embrace of the World Bubble and sailed into the vast and boundless Quantum Sea.

　However, what awaited them was nothing but chaos.

　A turbulent flow of energy that cannot be governed by laws.

　These turbulent currents violently slammed into the warship's Honkai energy shield, causing ripples.

　Having keenly noticed this unusual phenomenon, Ling couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

　But Sakura gently pulled her into her arms and comforted her in a calm yet firm voice.

　"Don't worry, Bell, this is a scene we will inevitably encounter after entering the Sea of ​​Quanta. We have already arranged a pick-up time with Lord Moros through interdimensional magical communication, and I believe that he will be able to safely retrieve us from this chaotic Sea of ​​Quanta soon."

　"Well, sister, I believe you."

　Sakura and Rin's wait didn't last long. Just over ten minutes later, a magnificent interdimensional portal, large enough for two Paris-class heavy frigates to pass side by side, appeared prominently in front of the fleet.

　Seeing this, even without Sakura giving any orders, the artificial soul aggregates that controlled these steel behemoths quickly sprang into action.

　They skillfully piloted their warships, one after another, into the interdimensional portal connecting the material universe.

Chapter 820 Intertwined Fates

　As he watched the 24 Paris-class heavy frigates emerge one after another from the interdimensional portal, a faint smile appeared on Moros's lips.

　Although he had already learned from his previous interdimensional magical communication with Sakura that the conquest of that world bubble had gone exceptionally smoothly, the powerful necromancer still dared not relax in the slightest before the fleet returned.

　This was ultimately his first predatory war against a world bubble.

　Moros could only rely on guesswork and trial and error for many things.

　In this situation full of unknowns and challenges, even though he had personally gone to great lengths and thoroughly investigated all the information about that world bubble, the necromancer knew that he could not be completely foolproof.

　Of course, given how much he values ​​Sakura, Moros is confident that he can protect her in the most critical moment.

　The magic badge he gave her was the source of his confidence.

　The so-called "ability to provide you with powerful support in times of crisis" does not refer to that magical shield with a protective strength sufficient to withstand the equivalent of two Honkai energy fission bombs.

　Even if the magical shield created by this magical artifact is comparable to the shipborne shield of the Halberd-class destroyer, it is still the same.

　The true purpose of this magical badge is that it provides a coordinate system—

　Even if Sakura and her fleet were lost in the Sea of ​​Quanta, Moros could still locate her coordinates.

　With the necromancer's current strength, which has already reached the limit of demigod, as long as he has this precise teleportation coordinate, opening a cross-dimensional portal connecting the quantum sea and the material universe will be no difficult task for him.

　Getting back to the main point, through his mental link with his undead units, Moros decisively issued orders to the returning fleet, commanding them to dock at the small starport that Velvi had established in the Venus colony.

　This was his first invasion of the World Bubble, and these Paris-class heavy frigates, essentially powered by the Undead Engine, were also entering the mysterious and dangerous Quantum Sea for the first time.

　Even though they didn't stay in the Sea of ​​Quanta for very long, the necromancer still hoped that Velvi could conduct a comprehensive inspection of these warships.

　In fact, without Moros even having to mention it, the expert lady, who was considered the foremost person in the field of mechanics before civilization, had already eagerly approached him, expressing her strong desire to conduct such tests.

　It is obvious that Velvi also has a strong interest and desire to explore these warships that have been baptized by the Sea of ​​Quanta.

　In the starport of the balloon city nestled in the atmosphere of Venus, the berths are like scattered stars, embedded among the city.

　Standing side by side on a wide observation deck, Moros and Velvet's gazes pierced through the thin, misty clouds, focusing on the fleet slowly approaching in the distance.

　As the distance gradually decreased, the streamlined hulls of the 24 Paris-class heavy frigates gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the faint sunlight of Venus.

　"Vilvie, I'm entrusting this testing matter entirely to you."

　"Well, leave it to me."

　Nodding, the expert's pink eyes sparkled with undisguised interest.

　“I can’t wait to see how these warships have changed after their experience in the Sea of ​​Quanta.”

　During the conversation, the warship Sakura was on sailed to the designated berth.

　Under the control of the artificial soul aggregate that operates the warship, this 14-ton steel behemoth flexibly adjusted its posture and achieved a perfect docking with the berth.

　The entire process was smooth and precise, fully demonstrating the Paris-class heavy frigate's superior handling performance and the significant advantages that the [Undead Engine] exhibits compared to warships controlled by humans in a conventional manner.

　As the warship finally came to a steady stop at its berth, the connecting bridge to the hull quickly extended, and the steel hatch opened, revealing Sakura's figure to Morros and Velvet.

　Not only was there a heroic young girl with long, cherry-blossom-colored hair reaching her waist, but beside her stood a creature radiating a deep, dark, eerie light, surrounded by an aura of corrosive blackness.

　The core of the Mist's Herrscher is floating leisurely—that is the bell.

　"Sakura, welcome back."

　He took two steps forward and gave her a polite hug, while smiling and speaking.

　In contrast, Virvi only nodded slightly in greeting when she saw Sakura.

　The reason for this is not hard to understand.

　Given Vivi's profound understanding of Morros, how could she not see her lover's covetousness towards Sakura?

　Faced with an emotional rival, the expert naturally finds it difficult to show much enthusiasm and goodwill.

　Immediately afterwards, the necromancer and the expert lady turned their gazes to the Herrscher core floating in the air.

　"This must be Rin? It's nice to meet you."

　After politely expressing his welcome, Moros subtly ordered the undead soldiers who were already waiting in the starport to begin orderly entering the ship and unloading the spoils piled up inside.

　Of course, he did not overlook the undead forces carried by the Paris-class heavy frigates.

　Upon receiving the necromancer's orders, the first batch of undead troops to leave the world bubble immediately sprang into action.

　They began to systematically leave these 500-meter-long behemoths one by one via the giant elevators deployed inside the bay.

　"Lord Moros, thank you for your acceptance."

　The sound of the bell, though gentle, revealed unwavering determination and resolve.

　"As the Herald of Corruption, I will do my utmost to contribute all my strength to your great cause."

　Her heart was filled with the desire for the necromancer to resurrect her sister, and she was willing to pay any price for it.

　With her arms crossed over her chest, Velvi's eyes gleamed with wisdom.

　"Rin, your joining us has truly been a pleasant surprise. I believe you will be able to assist us in delving deeper into the secrets of the Herrscher."

　With her delicate pink lips slightly parted, Vervier expressed her welcome to Rin in her own unique way.

　Rare research material like the Herrscher Core is an irresistible temptation for any researcher.

　What's more, she can use this opportunity to put a bad word to Sakura.

　"Yes, I will fully support your research."

　The Herrscher core, shrouded in corrosive black mist, floated gently in the air, as if nodding.

　Watching this scene, Sakura felt a mix of emotions.

　She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

　Sakura is very clear about Wilvi's personality and her dedication to research, and she also understands the sacrifices Rin is willing to make to revive her sister.

　However, as the key figure who brought Rin out of that lonely world bubble, Sakura's heart was full of tenderness and reluctance for Rin, and she longed to fight for a better future for Rin.

　Therefore, the young girl Yingjie, who possessed the inscription of "Moment", turned her pleading gaze toward Moros.

　Sensing the pleading in Sakura's eyes, Moros hesitated for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

　Faced with her lover's request, Virvi naturally wouldn't refuse.

Chapter 821 Memories and Transfer Planning

　Seeing that Sakura and Rin still had something to discuss privately, Moros naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to linger any longer.

　After briefly explaining a few important matters and solemnly accepting Rin's oath of allegiance from the world of birth, he left Sakura and Rin together with Velvet.

　Out of consideration and care for him, the expert had already agreed to exercise some restraint while studying Bell, and would also impart some knowledge to Bell to enhance the use of her [Erosion] power, helping her to reach a higher level.

　Now, Morros naturally wants to repay this deep affection with all his heart and stay by Virvi's side wholeheartedly.

　Moreover, Vilvi is the lover he is willing to devote all his energy to protecting.

　Being with her was his heart's desire all along.

　Seeing Morros and Vervie leave side by side, gradually disappearing from the berth, Sakura and Rin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

　Then, Sakura whispered to Rin.

　“Ring, let me take you to my residence in this colony. I want you to meet my sister.”

　Despite her apprehension about the impending meeting between the two beings named Rin, Sakura knew she couldn't prevent the two Herrschers of Corruption from encountering each other.

　Therefore, she chose to be honest and face the situation bravely.

　"Ah."

　Upon hearing Sakura's suggestion, Rin didn't bother to examine the rest of the starport's interior.

　At this moment, her mind was filled with the scene of meeting Sakura's real sister, who was also herself in this world.

　Moros was certainly interested in the meeting between the two bells.

　Gossip is human nature, isn't it?

　However, compared to the joy of being by the side of his beloved lover and apprentice, Vilvie, this slight curiosity seemed insignificant.

　Sitting side by side in the seats of the personnel transport vehicle inside the Starport, Velvi gently nestled on Moros's shoulder, her eyes filled with affection and memories.

　"Moros, do you know?"

　Vervi's voice was gentle yet full of emotion.

　"Seeing Sakura and Rin meet reminds me of the moment we first met."

　Listening to the emotional words of the original lady who had logged in from the top account, Moros couldn't help but smile faintly.

　He reached out and gently stroked Vilvie's silky, two-tone hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.

　"Yes, back then you..."

　Moros's voice carried a hint of nostalgia, but even more so, it expressed his undisguised love for Vervie.

　"It's like a treasure full of mystery and charm, making me want to get closer and explore it."

　Upon hearing this, a sweet and happy smile bloomed on Miss Yuanchu's lips, as if she had returned to the beautiful time when they first met.

　At that time, they were still young and weak, but this did not become an obstacle for them to get to know each other.

　Now, he has become a demigod spellcaster capable of killing the Herrscher of the End and repelling the high-dimensional plant, Sa, in the material universe, while she has become a Hero-level fusion warrior and the most outstanding mechanical expert of the previous civilization.

　However, no matter how the years change or how time flows, the deep and unbreakable bond between them remains unchanged and never fades.

　After spending more than a week carefully accompanying Velvi's eight personalities—the Conductor, the Great Magician, the Mystic, the Hundred Flavors, the Lecturer, the Mechanic, the Extreme Evil, and the Primal—Moros finally embarked on his journey home, returning to the starport where the fleet that had traversed the vast quantum sea was stationed.

　As the ruler of the demiplane, he opened the demiplane portal connecting this place with the demiplane.

　This is not just about transferring the undead forces stranded in this starport and the valuable loot they have plundered to the demiplane's cemetery city.

　More importantly, the necromancer needs to send more warships to the world bubble that was just conquered by the undead legion to bring back the undead troops who are still there plundering various resources.

　The Paris-class heavy corvettes, space battleships designed specifically for fleet warfare, are renowned for their powerful firepower and robust defenses.

　However, compared to the Charon-class light frigates, which are capable of both combat and transport, the Paris-class is ill-equipped to carry undead troops and cargo.

　In addition, the fleet brought back an astonishing amount of spoils from the World Bubble, making the number of undead troops that actually withdrew from that World Bubble this time seem particularly small.
