Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Faced with such a difficult situation, even Velvi, who possesses high-level legendary spellcasting abilities, would probably only be able to shake her head helplessly and sigh at her inability to cope.

　But for Moros, who specializes in magic and has already condensed a full 3 units of [magic] domain divinity, this level of difficulty is far from a challenge.

　Guided by the deep and sincere emotional bond between Sakura and Rin, the necromancer cast the legendary spell [Time Distortion Field].

　With unparalleled magical skills, he successfully extracted a cell belonging to Sakura's body from the river of time in that world.

　Although the cell lost its vitality the moment the distorted spacetime field created by the [Time Warp Field] was revoked, in that brief moment of time, it was enough for a spellcaster with the strength of a demigod to capture and preserve all the information contained in the cell.

　With this information, given his profound expertise in the field of magic and his extraordinary magical skills in shaping Rin's body, creating an empty shell without a soul to reside in would be a piece of cake for him.

　With just a few spells, Moros recreated Sakura's body in this world at a speed far beyond Rin's imagination.

　With such a magical material that can serve as a medium for casting spells, the necromancer can naturally use the power of the fifth-level light magic [Reincarnation] to awaken Sakura from her deathly slumber in this world and bring her back to her sister, Rin, so that the two sisters, who have been separated for a long time, can embrace each other tightly once again and share the joy of reunion.

Chapter 862 Technological Breakthrough and the Twelfth Herrscher

　Without disturbing the two cherry-haired girls from the World Bubble too much, allowing them to freely enjoy their rare sisterly reunion, Moros, having fulfilled his promise to Rin, quietly left the World Bubble, which had become his basic resource production base, and returned to the cemetery city in the demiplane, shrouded in silence and solemnity.

　Having decided to develop new magical technologies to solve the endless cycle of labor caused by large-scale resource transfers, the necromancer, with his decisiveness, would naturally not allow delays to hinder his progress.

　I need a teleportation technology that can provide a semi-permanent connection between the world bubble and the material universe!

　With this fervent desire in mind, Moros plunged headlong into the vast library of the Level 5 Magic Guild, which contained all the magical wisdom of the Ashan World Cemetery faction.

　On the continent of Entagri, the exploration of other dimensions has always been a field of great importance to spellcasters.

　Although the Academy faction possesses the most advanced magical technology in this field, the immortal liches of the Necropolis faction, with their powerful spellcasting abilities, also have profound and unique insights into it.

　In fact, it was precisely because of the undead army accumulated by these great liches deep within the cemetery territory through their conquests of other worlds that the cemetery faction was able to avoid being completely wiped out by the combined forces of the other major factions after the defeat in the Shadow of Death campaign.

　With the ability to transport massive undead armies and abundant resources plundered from other worlds to the continent of Entagrey, the Necropolis faction naturally possesses the magical technology to achieve such large-scale transport in a relatively economical way.

　Given the Cemetery faction's profound magical expertise in this field, Moros naturally had many creative ideas for the current research project.

　However, after careful consideration of the "short lifespan" characteristic of world bubbles in the Tree Sea system, Moros had to reluctantly abandon those obvious and inevitably costly directions for magical research.

　Admittedly, of the four world bubbles currently controlled by the necromancer, even the one in the most precarious state, excluding the most recently conquered one, has a lifespan of approximately 300 to 500 years.

　This is undoubtedly a long and distant prospect for an ordinary person whose lifespan is only about a hundred years.

　However, compared to the life cycle of a world, this period of time seems extremely short.

　Within such a limited timeframe, any investment must be carefully calculated to ensure maximum returns.

　As the saying goes, "People will do anything for a life-threatening business, but nobody will do anything that loses money." Moros knew very well that he also needed to follow this realistic rule when pursuing breakthroughs in magical technology.

　Therefore, he must make careful choices and invest his limited resources in research directions that are most likely to yield substantial results.

　In this situation, the necromancer's gaze naturally focused on the level 5 adventure spell, [Town Portal].

　As a level 5 battle spell, [Town Portal] stands out among many spells due to its excellent effects and relatively low cost.

　With the help of this campaign magic, the hero can lead his troops to quickly traverse between several towns under his control.

　This unique spell effect undoubtedly piqued Moros's interest.

　In his eyes, the adventure magic [Town Portal] not only possesses high practicality and flexibility, but also coincides with his current research goals.

　Therefore, Moros decided to use the Town Portal as the starting point for his magical research. Through in-depth research and improvement, he hoped to explore a new magical technology that could meet the needs of rapid interdimensional transport.

　With the profound wisdom gained from the necromancer's four leaps in life level, the keen intuition in magical research brought by the divinity of 3 units of [Magic] domain, and the almost unlimited investment of magical resources, Moros finally achieved initial results in this magical research project after years of dedicated research.

　This achievement is the magical technology he named the "Gateway to the Cemetery City".

　With the help of this revolutionary magical technology, Moros was able to open a transdimensional portal connecting the cemetery town and the world bubble in an unprecedented way, by using the cemetery town with the [City Council] as a transit point.

　This technology can be implemented either by relying on the necromancer's powerful magical abilities to cast spells, or by constructing a magical building of the same name, so that he only needs to open and activate the interdimensional portal once initially using this magical technology to achieve stable teleportation thereafter.

　Compared to the cumbersome transfer method that required him to personally cast spells every time he entered or exited the World Bubble, the convenience and freedom brought by the [Gateway to the Cemetery City] are undoubtedly obvious.

　This unprecedented convenience, and the long-lost sense of relief it brought, made Moros willingly pour resources and Ashan gold coins into building a [Cemetery City Gate] for every cemetery city under his command.

　Time moves forward.

　Just as Moros was busy developing the magical technology—[Gate to the Cemetery City]—a sudden change quietly occurred in the world bubble he had recently conquered—the Twelfth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Corruption, appeared silently.

　Or to be more precise, she was discovered.

　Just as had happened in the original world and the branch world of the Imaginary Tree where Moros was born, the vampire nobles who managed the human society in that world bubble for him keenly detected the existence of this newly appointed Twelfth Herrscher, thanks to the newly set Honkai energy warning system.

　However, what makes these vampire nobles...

　What's troublesome is that the Twelfth Herrscher who was detected is actually Sakura's younger sister, Rin.

　It should be noted that these vampire nobles had explicitly received formal instructions from necromancers.

　In that unquestionable order, they were solemnly instructed to provide Sakura with the utmost care and protection.

　Faced with this dilemma, the vampire nobles did not hesitate at all. They immediately initiated cross-dimensional magical communication through the magical badges left to them by Moros, asking him for instructions on the next course of action.

　The necromancer Morros's answer to the vampire nobles' confusion and plea for help was concise and clear.

　"Tell Sakura everything as it is and let her decide how to handle it."

　Upon receiving Morros's reply, the vampire nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

　Therefore, without any delay, they immediately informed Sakura, who was in that world bubble, in detail and objectively about Rin becoming the twelfth Herrscher.

　Upon learning of the unexpected turn of events that had befallen her younger sister Rin, Sakura's feelings instantly became complex and difficult to describe.

　Even so, she was grateful to Morros for entrusting her with handling the matter herself.

Chapter 863 Twin Flowers and the Fairy Miss

　After that profound and meaningful meeting with Moros and Alicia, Sakura had come to understand the deeper reason behind the necromancer's special treatment of her and others.

　Therefore, she knew very well that the fact that Rin, as the Twelfth Herrscher, could accompany her and be personally cared for was entirely a blessing bestowed by the necromancer in consideration of Sakura's existence in another world.

　Under these circumstances, Sakura naturally found it difficult to refuse the requests from the vampire nobles that she report her whereabouts to them regularly.

　Yes, this is indeed a request, not a command.

　Faced with Sakura—a special being personally instructed by the necromancer to be well cared for—the vampire nobles who managed the human society within this bubble of worlds for the necromancer displayed an unprecedented humility.

　It's important to understand that when facing ordinary people within their respective territories, these vampire nobles often play the role of typical feudal aristocrats, dignified and inviolable.

　However, when facing Sakura, they could only use a negotiating tone and cautiously ask for her approval.

　Those vampire nobles who managed to survive the brutal purge led by the tax fleet that swept across the entire world must be shrewd, capable, and cunning.

　They knew all too well that any disrespect towards someone like Sakura, who had left a deep impression on even the necromancer, could be fatal.

　Even though they were all aware of the potential threat posed by the Twelfth Herrscher, they still maintained sufficient awe and caution in front of Sakura.

　It was this sense of awe and caution that prompted them to make a request to Sakura:

　They didn't expect to control Sakura and Rin's freedom of movement; they only hoped to have a warning before any potential threat arrived.

　An early warning system that would give these powerful figures enough time to evacuate and protect themselves before a crisis strikes.

　Indeed, in the eyes of these vampire nobles, Rin would sooner or later lose control of her powerful strength as a Herrscher and do something as earth-shattering as the previous eleven Herrschers.

　However, to the surprise of those vampire nobles, two or three months passed and Bell did not lose control.

　Furthermore, she never demonstrated the authority and power that a Lawyer should possess.

　This naturally aroused the curiosity and desire for investigation among many vampire nobles.

　Unfortunately, because Rin is Sakura's younger sister, their curiosity could only be suppressed deep in their hearts and could not be put into practice.

　The reasoning behind this is not difficult to understand.

　Compared to the comfortable life of enjoying the power of a local tyrant by simply obeying the orders of the necromancer and completing the tax payment tasks on time and in the required amount, the little bit of curiosity in his heart was obviously not worth mentioning.

　At least, this curiosity wasn't enough for them to risk their current lives, their own lives, or even the safety of their entire family to explore the unknown truth.

　As for why Rin has never demonstrated the power and authority that a Herrscher should have?

　The reason for this is actually quite easy to understand.

　With Sakura's meticulous companionship and protection, and the secret care of the vampire nobles, Rin could no longer experience the same tragic ordeal she had in the original world.

　Those who try to vent their anger on the newly arrived Herrscher often fail before they even get close to Rin, either being defeated by Sakura's sharp blade or perishing in the barrage of bullets from the protective forces sent by the vampire nobles.

　Without the tragic experience of being tortured and killed, without the resentment and anger that could have truly awakened a Herrscher, Rin naturally could not unleash the true power of a Herrscher in despair and pain like the Herrschers in the pre-existing civilization of the original world.

　She retained her innocence and kindness, quietly blossoming under the care of the cherry blossoms.

　Regarding the tortuous fate experienced by Sakura and Rin, the love in this bubble of world.

　Lisia has always kept an eye on things.

　Long before the death fleet and undead legion commanded by the necromancer cast the shadow of war over this world, Alicia had already met Sakura—the ace assassin with a renowned reputation and exceptional strength in the Poison Chrysalis unit.

　Their friendship is quite good.

　That's why, in the real world, Miss Pink Fairy specifically sought out Sakura and told her in detail about the misfortune that Rin had suffered.

　When Alicia witnessed firsthand how the guards dispatched by the vampire nobles brutally slaughtered those who attempted to attack Bell to vent their resentment towards the Herrscher, she immediately realized that all of this must have been secretly orchestrated by a necromancer.

　Although she knew that the root of all this lay with Alicia in another world, this pink fairy born in this world was still grateful for Moros's special care.

　After all, this care made her, a genuine lawyer, feel an unprecedented warmth and protection.

　Yes, even though the Fire Moth had become dust in the necromancer's conquest of this world bubble, Alicia within that world bubble was still gradually recognizing her true identity amidst the turbulent situation—

　She is the original Herald, the Herald of Origin.

　Wow~ This is a future I never imagined!

　On a bustling street, Alicia's gaze lightly leaped through the crowd, finally settling on two beautiful girls with flowing pink hair in the distance, their figures gradually disappearing into the flow of people.

　"However... such a new order..."

　Her gaze swept over the vampires who blended into the crowd using spells like [Invisibility] and [Friendliness], and she murmured in a voice only she could hear, recalling the deeds of her kind on this planet.

　"Everyone's fate is in the hands of one person, and the development of everything must conform to his will... This is definitely something I don't want to see..."

　After a soft sigh, a complex look flashed in Alicia's eyes.

　That was a sense of helplessness, but also a profound understanding of the current situation.

　"But given the current situation..."

　Thinking of the Herrschers descending more and more frequently, Miss Pink Fairy had to admit that challenging the rule of the necromancer was undoubtedly an extremely irrational choice in this turbulent time.

　After all, without the protection of necromancers, how can human civilization on this planet withstand the increasingly terrifying collapse?

　With these thoughts in mind, Alicia gently picked out a crystal-clear pink flower and tossed it into the azure sky.

　The flowers bloomed in the air, scattering dazzling, luminous fragments, like a dreamlike bubble.

　"There's nothing I can do."

　The pink fairy's tone was a mix of self-deprecation and relief.

　She had become aware of the horrors of necromancers and the Honkai calamity.

　That was an absolute power that surpassed the combined strength of all humanity within this world.

　Under such absolute power, without the help of another side, human society has no future.

Chapter 864 Alicia's Dilemma

　One day, He fell from heaven.

　People looked up and saw the starry sky.

　The stars and the moon send the daughter of God, who wants to be man's companion.

　The long winds turned into her chariot, and the whole world became her garden.

　Birds bring seeds of kindness, and flowers weave songs of love.

　This is how she was born into the world, walked on the earth, grew up with humans, and sprouted with the world.

　Even in the face of an extremely unfavorable situation, this fairy lady would never abandon her deep love for humanity.

　Especially Alicia, who was born in this world that has been conquered by necromancers.

　She never experienced the profound emotional entanglement with Moros, so naturally she couldn't make the choice that Alicia made in the branch world where the necromancer was born, which was still linked to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

　Having realized that a direct confrontation would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, the pink fairy in this world bubble cleverly adjusted her strategy.

　Using the magical badge of supreme power given to her by Alicia, she made a sincere request to the vampire nobles who managed the human social order in this bubble world for the necromancers—

　It is hoped that they can slightly improve the living conditions of people at the bottom of society.
