Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The debuffs that had previously bound the Herrscher of the End like shackles vanished without a trace under the immense power of Time, like a thin mist gently blown away by the morning breeze.

　Moreover, the battle spells that were originally surging towards the Herrscher of the End were like fragile bubbles, bursting at the slightest touch, and posing no real threat to her.

　However, even though the Herrscher of the End has begun to fully exert her power of [Time], it seems that this is the extent she can achieve.

　Whenever she tries to use her power of time to interfere with the necromancer, she discovers that there is a time force in the space around the necromancer that is completely different from the time power she possesses.

　This strange temporal power, never before seen by the Herrscher of the End, formed an insurmountable barrier, resolutely blocking her authority over time and preventing her from rewinding time at her own will, thus erasing the existence of Moros.

　Instead, she can only rely on the power of [Time] to recreate the powers of the twelve Herrschers who descended before, and cannot directly use this power to turn the tide of the battle.

　In stark contrast to the Herrscher of the End's arduous journey, Moros was quite satisfied with the current development of the battle.

　Unlike the helplessness he felt when facing the Herrscher of the End on the far side of the moon, this time, although most of his spells were intercepted by the Herrscher of the End's [space] power, which was recreated by the power of [time], some spells still successfully landed on the Honkai energy shield that the Herrscher of the End had deployed.

　In this respect alone, he has made great progress compared to the past.

　Moreover, from the rapidly dimming color of the Honkai energy shield protecting the Herrscher of the End, Moros could easily discern the immense trouble those battle spells that fell upon it had caused to this divine apostle who had temporarily wielded the power of [space] through the power of time.

　In contrast, the attacks released by the Herrscher of the End—whether pure Honkai energy rays or the effects of various powers recreated through the power of [Time]—were difficult to break through the interception of his carefully laid defense system.

　The few attacks that managed to break through the interception landed on the layers upon layers of rock-solid protective magic surrounding him, but they were like ants trying to shake a tree, posing no real threat whatsoever.

　This scene was practically a replica of the final battle that took place on the far side of the moon.

　However, unlike before, this time, Moros has taken the place of the Herrscher of the End who was strengthened by the Cocoon of the End, while the Herrscher of the End who was once the challenged has now become the challenger.

　Realizing this dramatic turn of events, the necromancer couldn't help but let a barely suppressed smile appear on his lips.

　It is the satisfaction of finally getting the reward for past hard work, and also the expectation for the infinite possibilities of the future.

　The Herrscher of the End, struggling against Moros's relentless magical bombardment, silently testifies to a fact with her weary yet tenacious figure—

　The necromancer's years of hard work and effort have finally paid off.

　This realization was more precious to Moros than any glory of victory.

Chapter 867 Ending

　To reach the transcendent level, the limit of demigods, Moros's self-control is undoubtedly outstanding.

　He quickly composed himself and focused on the next steps.

　Opponents like the Herrscher of the End, who are struggling in the magical storm he unleashed, possessing the immense power of a demigod yet unable to pose a real threat to Moros, are not commonplace.

　The necromancer wouldn't be willing to annihilate her so easily before he had fully exploited her value.

　Therefore, after enjoying the momentary thrill of suppressing the Herrscher of the End with a storm of spells, Moros deliberately reduced the frequency of casting campaign spells.

　He cleverly created the illusion that his ability to suppress his opponent was entirely due to a sudden burst of power.

　And events proved his strategy to be successful.

　After noticing a significant decrease in the frequency of spell attacks, the Herrscher of the End, who had been suppressed, immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

　If it's the Herrscher of the End that Moros defeated before, someone who was given a soul by the Cocoon of the End and strengthened...

　Perhaps she wouldn't easily fall into such a crude trap.

　Unfortunately, the Herrscher of the End who descended upon this world bubble ruled by necromancers was entirely controlled by a low-intelligence AI.

　Under such circumstances, how could she possibly see through Moros's not-so-deeply hidden scheme?

　However, despite the Herrscher of the End's fierce counterattack, it ultimately failed to shake Moros's seemingly loose but actually rock-solid magical defense system.

　The attack, which was akin to the Time Dragon's Exile Breath, and was generated by the power of Time, was neutralized by the time field constructed by the legendary spell Time Warp Field.

　The spatial slash released by the power of [Space], powerful enough to cut through everything, was steadily blocked by the complex quantum superposition state generated by [Multiple Quantum Superposition Technique];

　The simulated black hole summoned by the power of [Gravity], capable of devouring an entire continental plate, was filled by dozens of [Doomsday Judgment] spells enhanced with [Spell Maximization].

　……

　Under the full-force magical protection of the necromancer, every attack from the Herrscher of the End was like a stone thrown into the sea, making it difficult to achieve any substantial progress.

　In fact, since the start of the battle, the Herrscher of the End has not only failed to make Moros bleed or get injured, but has also struggled to deplete his magic power.

　Having undergone four leaps in the level of life, the necromancer's wisdom has achieved a qualitative leap.

　With his extraordinary wisdom, how could he possibly forget the Herrscher's core's unique ability to continuously draw imaginary internal energy from the imaginary space to replenish the Herrscher's consumption?

　To counter this unique advantage of the Herrschers, Moros had already made ample preparations before descending upon this world bubble.

　The magical artifact called the "Storage Magic Orb" was his carefully planned countermeasure.

　This extremely precious magical artifact may seem to have a single function, but it is actually crucial—it stores magical power, ensuring that the caster has sufficient magical power to draw upon when needed.

　A normal [Storage Magic Bead] is merely a magical artifact whose crafting difficulty reaches the high-level legendary rank.

　The amount of magic it can hold is only equivalent to the total magic power of an ordinary spellcaster who has just entered the legendary rank (level 21).

　However, the [Storage Magic Orb] prepared by the necromancer to deal with this final battle taking place in the World Bubble was completely different.

　Not only did he successfully create a Magic Storage Orb, capable of storing the entire magic power of a demigod-level spellcaster, thanks to his demigod-level alchemy skills, but what's even more astonishing is that he created a staggering twenty-five of them.

　With such a massive reserve of [Storage Magic Beads] as support, the necromancer naturally had the confidence to fight a protracted battle against a Herrscher who possessed a Herrscher core.

　Under these circumstances, the only achievement that the Herrscher of the End could be considered was that, at the cost of shattering her Honkai energy shield, she successfully killed the Death Dragon summoned by the legendary spell [Death Avatar].

　As a demigod-level combatant, she was naturally worth sacrificing her Honkai energy shield to annihilate in the eyes of the Herrscher of the End, who had not yet grasped the true nature of her magical summons.

　Unfortunately, after Moros cast [Avatar of Death] again and summoned a new dragon of death, the Herrscher of the End no longer made such attempts lightly.

　She had already realized that the Death Dragon, whose strength far surpassed that of a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, was merely bait set up by the necromancer to deplete her power.

　Wasting precious power on the seemingly terrifying but actually expendable dragon of death is undoubtedly falling into the necromancer's cunning trap.

　Time ticked by as the necromancer and the Herrscher of the End clashed fiercely.

　After Moros fully assessed his own power level and clearly realized the limits of what he could achieve when facing a Herrscher of the End who had not been enhanced by the Cocoon of the End, the idea of ​​ending this battle began to take root in his mind.

　It's time to make a break.

　The thought flashed through his mind, and then Moros decisively stuffed a [Storage Magic Bead] that had been drained of all its stored magic power into his [Storage Ring].

　This was the twentieth magic-storing orb he had put into his storage ring, now devoured of its magic power.

　After Moros made the decision to end the battle, the atmosphere on the battlefield seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and a subtle change quietly occurred.

　Seemingly sensing this change, the Herrscher of the End's attacks became even more ferocious and violent.

　Clearly, she was trying to break through the necromancer's magical defenses at this final moment and inflict real damage on him.

　However, all these efforts were in vain.

　Moros wasn't in a hurry to completely annihilate the Herrscher of the End not because he couldn't, but because he didn't want to.

　Now, when he finally decided to annihilate this divine apostle who wielded the power of "time," the Herald of the End was surprised to find himself so insignificant and powerless before him.

　With a thought from Moros, the time field that had been surrounding him, constructed by the legendary spell [Time Warp Field], suddenly expanded, instantly engulfing...

　The Law of the End is firmly shrouded within it.

　Within this distorted temporal field, the Herrscher of the End's movements became sluggish, and her control over Honkai energy was greatly reduced.

　"The game is over, Herrscher of the End."

　The necromancer's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were announcing something that had been destined long ago.

　With a gentle wave of his [Netherworld Staff], a torrent of pitch-black magic erupted from before him, sweeping towards the Herrscher of the End like a raging tide.

　Instant cast, maximum spell effect, Soul Torrent!

　This power is so great that even a demigod at the peak of their power would find it difficult to resist.

　Faced with this destructive torrent, the once invincible figure of the Herrscher of the End now appears so small and fragile.

　Finally, when the torrent of magic dissipated, only silence and emptiness remained on the battlefield.

Chapter 868 The Reboot of the World Bubble

　After putting away the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of the End, Moros was not in a hurry to leave the world bubble that was now prostrate beneath his staff.

　Opportunities to witness the restart of a world bubble up close are rare.

　In order to make the most of this rare opportunity to explore the deep and complex underlying mechanisms of the Tree Sea system, the necromancer even specially deployed a powerful undead force led by the legendary undead unit, the Thousand Souls, and supported by a Charon-class light frigate, to this world bubble that is about to undergo a reboot.

　Having already invested so much manpower and resources, Moros was naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity to closely observe the restart of the World Bubble and gain insight into the underlying mysteries of the Tree Sea system for the sake of magical research that could be conducted at any time.

　I hope that through this reboot, I can uncover the secrets hidden at the bottom of the world...

　With these thoughts in mind, the necromancer moved swiftly and leaped lightly onto the head of the death dragon that had been seriously injured in the previous battle.

　Upon receiving the summoner's command, the Death Dragon let out a deep roar.

　Then, it flapped its tattered yet still resilient dragon wings, carrying Moros rapidly toward the Lagrange point—the boundary of this world bubble.

　The dragon of death summoned by the legendary spell [Avatar of Death] has a body entirely formed from pure magical energy, unlike ordinary dragons that rely on both magic and physiological structure for power.

　This is why, despite its seemingly open-minded nature, it can still soar freely in the vast universe at the first cosmic velocity.

　As for why Moros chose to go to the edge of this world bubble for observation?

　This is something that is very easy to understand.

　Although the necromancer's demigod-level power gave him the confidence to observe the reboot inside the world bubble, as a spellcaster, he knew the importance of caution.

　Therefore, he deliberately chose a safe location inside the World Bubble, but one from which he could easily evacuate, so that he could quickly escape danger if necessary, while also ensuring that he could observe this cosmic spectacle unique to the Tree Sea system up close.

　Just as Moros had predicted, as he rode the dragon of death summoned by the legendary spell [Avatar of Death], traversing the boundless universe and finally arriving at the Lagrange point of this world bubble, the grand prelude to the world bubble's restart quietly began.

　At this moment, he gripped the [Netherworld Staff] that emitted a faint, shimmering light tightly in his hand, his fingers trembling slightly with the surging excitement within him.

　However, this trembling did not stem from fear or unease about the unknown, but rather from his deep-seated longing and irrepressible excitement at the prospect of witnessing this cosmic wonder firsthand.

　it has started!

　Silently reciting these words in his mind, the necromancer's eyes gleamed with wisdom and anticipation.

　He was ready, ready to immerse himself in this cosmic feast, ready to witness with a curious heart the most mysterious and unpredictable secrets and miracles hidden deep within the Tree Sea system.

　In that instant, the entire world bubble seemed to be gently touched by an invisible force, and the flow of time became blurred and distorted.

　Standing atop the grotesque, terrifying skeletal head of the Death Dragon, Moros could clearly feel a tremor originating from the depths of the universe.

　That was a harbinger of the world bubble restarting, like the echo of an ancient pendulum, foreshadowing that everything was about to return to zero and begin anew.

　With his lips pressed tightly together, the necromancer's eyes held both expectation and determination.

　He knew very well that this observation was not only a test of his wisdom, but also an extreme challenge to his demigod-level strength.

　After all, while observing the restart of the world bubble from within the world bubble can yield more information, it also means that he, like everything else within the world bubble, will be affected by the world bubble's restart.

　Suddenly, the entire world inside the bubble began to rewind at an indescribable speed, like a film being rewound at high speed.

　Cities, mountains, stars, even life and civilization—everything is retracing its steps in a way that defies logic, until it returns to…

　Thirty years ago, at that historical juncture when Honkai energy was first discovered.

　The magical energy surrounding Moros became unusually active at that moment.

　It was obvious that he was using all his strength to resist this reset power that could erase everything.

　At the same time, he felt the dragon of death beneath him begin to tremble violently, a fear and despair that originated from the depths of his soul.

　Faced with this cosmic-level power, even a demigod-level dragon of death appeared so fragile.

　hold onto!

　Silently, Moros attempted to use a battle spell to give the Death Dragon a final boost.

　Unfortunately, all of this seemed meaningless in the face of the world bubble's power to restart.

　As the power of reactivation continued to increase, the body of the Death Dragon began to gradually dissipate, turning into specks of starlight, and finally disappearing completely into nothingness.

　Suspended alone in this soon-to-be-reset universe, Moros's face was contorted with pain, but his eyes remained steadfastly fixed on everything that was happening before him.

　He could see those once glorious relics of civilizations disappearing in the light, only to sprout anew on another timeline.

　He could hear the whispers and cries of countless lives, as well as the cheers of new hope, in the torrent of history.

　In this planetary spectacle, Moros became the sole witness.

　He must maintain a calm mind to uncover the cosmic secrets hidden within the reboot process, while also doing everything in his power to protect himself from being annihilated by the reset force that is capable of devouring everything.

　As the restart process drew to a close, Moros felt an unprecedented pressure coming from all directions.

　That was the final reckoning that the world bubble carried out to maintain its stability, eliminating all anomalies within it.
