Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　He held her hand on his shoulder, feeling her warmth and strength, and a surge of indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

　“Vilvie, there are some things that even I could not have predicted. Unprecedented changes have occurred in the Quantum Sea. The appearance of those alien guardians means that the balance between me and Sa is being broken. I must go to the Quantum Sea and break Sa’s outstretched claws.”

　Moros's voice was deep and powerful, each word seeming to come from the depths of his heart.

　Upon hearing her lover's answer, the mysterious scholar's brows furrowed slightly, but then relaxed.

　She nodded understandingly, her eyes shining with trust and support for Moros.

　“I will wait for you here, no matter how long. But please remember, your safety is more important to me than anything else.”

　Vervi's voice was full of

　It was filled with affection and reluctance, but even more so with encouragement and trust for Moros.

　Her eyes shone with unwavering determination, as if telling Moros that no matter what happened, she would be here waiting for his return.

　He smiled and nodded, a warm feeling welling up in the necromancer's heart.

　He pulled Vervi into his arms, feeling her body temperature and breath.

　He raised his hand, his fingers gently brushing through her hair, conveying a silent comfort and promise.

　"Don't worry, Velvi, this isn't the first time I've fought against So. Trust me."

　Legions of the undead are different from legions of the living.

　They do not require cumbersome logistical support, do not need to worry about physical exhaustion, and do not need to care about individual wishes.

　With just a single command from the necromancer, this legion symbolizing death will assemble in the shortest possible time, unleashing the flames of death and destruction upon every corner designated by the necromancer.

　Therefore, upon receiving Moros's order, the main force of the Death Fleet, which had been patrolling above Venus's synchronous orbit, immediately began its assembly.

　After thirty years of trials and tribulations, the Death Fleet is no longer what it used to be.

　Even after excluding warships that are currently performing tasks such as regional patrols, garrisoning key locations, and tax collection, the number of warships that can be assembled in the shortest possible time still exceeds 1000.

　Among them, the Kingfisher-class light cruisers and the Halberd-class destroyers, which are the core of the fleet's combat operations, together number more than 500.

　If this were in a pre-civilization era, even during the period when martial virtue was at its peak, a fleet of this size, under the protection of the thirteen heroes, would have been enough to completely destroy human civilization.

　However, Moros knew perfectly well that such a fleet could only serve as a preliminary probe in his upcoming confrontation with So.

　Both he and Sao possessed countless methods that would allow them to easily and completely destroy such a fleet.

　However, as a means of counterbalancing the alien guards created by So, the Death Fleet still lived up to the necromancer's high expectations and shouldered its due responsibilities.

　This was the fundamental reason why he ordered the assembling of the fleet.

　Faced with the high-dimensional plant, So, which was only one step away from becoming a god, Moros was not arrogant enough to dare to ignore the alien guard army, which numbered in the millions.

　Although on ordinary days, he could wipe out a biological weapon legion of this size with just a few dozen wide-range legendary spells, when facing an opponent of the level of So, he probably wouldn't have time to spare and would have to focus his spells specifically on these biological weapon legions.

　Getting back to the main point, driven by the will of the necromancer, the assembly of the death fleet has been completed in its synchronous orbit around Venus.

　Kingfisher-class light cruisers, 60 in total;

　450 Halberd-class destroyers;

　Paris-class heavy corvettes, 90 ships;

　Charon-class light frigates, 600 ships.

　This massive fleet of 1200 warships was the key to Moros's countermeasures against the alien guard army that So had created using enormous amounts of energy.

　If one were in a technology-driven interstellar empire, such a massive fleet mobilization would likely take several hours, or even days, to complete.

　But for the necromancer, this tedious process didn't even take ten minutes.

　Don't be fooled by the fact that these interstellar warships, which cruise through the vast starry sea, look extremely futuristic. In essence, they are all powered by necromancy, which is called "Necromantic Engine".

　For the Undead Engine, a product of the perfect fusion of war machines and undead units, controlling these warships is as easy as manipulating one's own limbs.

　Therefore, its assembly efficiency is far superior to that of ordinary fleets.

　In this respect, only the Hive Fleet dominated by Hive Mind or the Omnic Fleet commanded by Gestalt Mind can be compared to the Death Fleet.

Chapter 886 Prelude to the Final Battle

　The Cocoon of the End was certainly not unaware of the grand battle that was about to unfold between the Death Fleet commanded by Moros and the Alien Guardian Army led by So.

　As the architect of the imaginary energy tidal zone that seals off this galaxy, the power of the Cocoon of the End is almost comparable to that of a Star God.

　For such an extraordinary being, as long as He has a single thought, even the boundaries of the quantum sea and the material universe cannot block His all-seeing gaze.

　As for the vast stage of His own world, why did He turn a blind eye to that high-dimensional plant that tried to replace Him?

　The answer is actually very simple.

　The Cocoon of the End did not believe that Sa could do such a thing.

　In the eyes of the Cocoon of the End, the path of advancement that So is now embarking on, although it has its flaws, is not entirely unfeasible.

　However, in this galaxy that He has firmly sealed off, the path that Sa chose will ultimately not lead to that unreachable destination.

　Even if Sa could exhaust all the world bubbles in the quantum sea region corresponding to the solar system...

　Energy, in fact, only allowed Him to slightly approach the edge of the Star God level in terms of energy reserves.

　With such meager strength, facing the Cocoon of the End, which is on par with the Star God, is undoubtedly like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating one's own abilities.

　With this unwavering certainty, the final cocoon can naturally remain calm and composed, leisurely watching as Su struggles futilely in the abyss of despair.

　In this world where necromancers were born, the Cocoon of the End, perched atop the bright moon, had no worries or concerns whatsoever about the enormous and bloated parasitic plant, Sa.

　He had witnessed firsthand the thrilling encounter between Moros and So in the cosmic region near Mars, and knew that neither the necromancer nor the higher-dimensional plant would consider him their primary target before eliminating each other.

　Under such circumstances, He naturally had no intention of interfering in the upcoming battle.

　Of course, out of curiosity and interest in the necromancer who had gained the favor of both the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta, He decided to watch this impending battle with a watchful eye.

　Half a day later.

　The main force of the Death Fleet, consisting of 1200 warships of four different types, sailed into the designated battlefield under the command of the necromancer.

　This Quantum Sea region is not only the most efficient transportation hub connecting the various world bubbles under his command, but also the perfect starting point for the Death Fleet to launch a fierce offensive against the Quantum Sea region occupied by Sa.

　Yes, Morlos made no attempt to conceal his tactical intentions.

　All tactical converters!

　Just like the vast universe, the complex environment of the Quantum Sea makes interception operations extremely difficult.

　Unlike the surface of a planet, where various terrain advantages can be used to block attacks, in the Sea of ​​Quanta, there are often countless paths to choose from in order to reach a certain location.

　Of course, this only applies to top-tier powerhouses like Moros and So. For organizations like Destiny, Reverse Commerce, and World Serpent, the paths they can choose to cross the Quantum Sea and reach one world bubble from another are extremely limited.

　Therefore, in order to successfully intercept the alien guard army led by So, the necromancer must force So into a decisive battle, rather than spreading his forces and setting up blockades along countless possible paths.

　Such an approach would only hand over victory to the enemy and lead to a complete and utter defeat!

　In order to force So into this decisive battle, Moros must come up with an irresistible reason, a reason that would compel the high-dimensional plant, deeply rooted in the Sea of ​​Quanta and possessing terrifying power, to do so.

　This is precisely why he deployed the main force of the Death Fleet in this region.

　The necromancer, in an almost provocative manner, revealed his tactical intentions to So without reservation.

　If So chooses to ignore this fleet that he personally leads, then he will not hesitate to lead the main force of the Death Fleet straight into the Quantum Sea region where So is entrenched.

　At that time, although his world bubbles in the Sea of ​​Quanta may be attacked by the alien guards, the price that So will pay will be far greater than his.

　This is easy to understand.

　Decades ago, in the outer space near Mars, a sudden encounter prevented So from capturing the Ark ship where Gretchen was located.

　Having lost the opportunity to obtain genetic samples and technology tree data from the previous civilization's [Ark Project] from the Ark Ship, So has yet to establish a new home called [Flors] near the imaginary energy tidal zone.

　Under these circumstances, Sa will naturally pour all its resources into the quantum sea region where its true form resides.

　That is precisely why, if Moros's death fleet were allowed to penetrate His territory unimpeded, the losses suffered by So would be incalculable.

　For Sa, who sees the accumulation of energy as the key to defeating the [Cocoon of the Abyss], such a loss is undoubtedly a fatal blow and absolutely intolerable.

　Therefore, after discovering the exact location of the Death Fleet and the necromancer's undisguised intentions, So had to abandon his previous battle plan of dispersing his forces and launching attacks in all directions. Instead, he concentrated all his strength, commanded the alien guard army, and prepared to face this decisive battle that would determine the fate of both sides.

　With both sides eager for a decisive battle, a major offensive naturally ensued.

　In that vast and boundless sea of ​​quantum mechanics, the 1200 warships under the command of the necromancer formed a magnificent spherical formation with a diameter of one thousand kilometers.

　In this spherical formation, 60 Kingfisher-class light cruisers, as the undisputed core of firepower, were precisely and evenly deployed to 60 key positions in the formation.

　While these positions allow them to maximize their firepower output, they also inevitably become primary targets for enemy long-range attacks.

　This decision was made by Moros only after he had thoroughly investigated and confirmed that, apart from the Three Bewilders, there were no other alien guards under Commander So who were particularly focused on long-range attacks.

　However, the Kingfisher-class light cruisers, with their robust armor and excellent hull structure, were indeed capable of withstanding a considerable amount of attack.

　However, on a massive battlefield with millions of casualties, even such excellent damage tolerance must be carefully calculated and used cautiously.

　The Kingfisher-class light cruisers were accompanied by 450 Halberd-class destroyers.

　They bear the heavy responsibility of rapidly suppressing the incoming [Alien Guardian - Filling the Gap] with shipborne firepower.

　The Paris-class heavy frigates and Charon-class light frigates were scattered around the Kingfisher-class light cruisers and the Halberd-class destroyers. Their main task was to counter the overwhelmingly numerous [Alien Guardian: Correction] and [Alien Guardian: Preservation of Truth].

　Around this spherical formation, and inside the fleet formation, tens of thousands of flying undead swirled and hovered.

　These flying undead swarms will intercept alien guards attempting to break through the Death Fleet's firepower and board the ships.

Chapter 887 The Battle Begins

　Whether it's the necromancer Moros or the high-dimensional plant So, they are both genuine super-strong individuals who are only one step away from the level of gods.

　With the various secret techniques and methods they possessed, no movement of the armies commanded by either side could escape the other's notice.

　Therefore, after a brief period of probing and reaching this conclusion, both sides decisively abandoned the elaborate and elaborate tactical camouflage and deception, and instead mobilized their troops with all their might, determined to fight to the death in this sea of ​​quantum mechanics.

　As the unprecedentedly large legions of both sides gradually approached, the attention of the entire solar system focused on this once-obscure quantum sea region.

　Everyone who witnessed the grand spectacle of this major battle knew that its outcome would directly shape and determine the power landscape and structure of the entire galaxy for decades to come.

　"Enemy main force detected! Current distance: 1000000 kilometers!"

　Thanks to the Honkai Energy Observation System meticulously developed by Velvi, the necromancer's fleet was the first to pinpoint the exact coordinates of the alien Guardian Army.

　In normal interstellar warfare, this would undoubtedly be a huge advantage capable of turning the tide of battle.

　However, in this epic duel between Moros and So, the practical significance of this advantage was extremely limited.

　On the one hand, both the necromancers and the high-dimensional plants had already locked onto the enemy and their main forces within sight, making any possibility of a surprise attack or ambush completely nonexistent.

　On the other hand, before Moros and So have clashed head-on, no matter how they attack each other's troops, they will only be intercepted and countered by the enemy.

　This attack might deplete some of the opponent's power, but both Moros and So possess astonishing energy reserves, making this level of depletion negligible for them.

　Moreover, at this distance, neither side's forces possesses effective means to inflict large-scale and efficient casualties on the other.

　Therefore, this decisive battle is destined to be a long and arduous contest, testing the tactics, equipment, and perseverance of both sides.

　Getting back to the main point, as he listened to the mechanical female voice reporting from the bridge of the Kingfisher-class light cruiser, Moros remained calm and composed, showing no sign of emotion.

　"Execute standard artillery formation! Fleet, deploy immediately!"

　Despite being outnumbered, the side with overwhelming firepower output has the wisest choice to adopt a standard artillery formation in order to maximize the effectiveness of the fleet's firepower.

　Upon receiving the necromancer's order, the artificial soul aggregates controlling the various warships immediately sprang into action.

　They commanded the massive steel behemoths, precisely completing the final formation adjustment.

　At the same time, missiles carrying terrifying power were quietly warming up in the launch systems of various ships, like ferocious beasts poised to unleash their destructive force at any moment.

　Meanwhile, those fission bombs with destructive power far exceeding that of Earth's strategic nuclear weapons have been carefully loaded into dedicated launch bays, quietly awaiting the decisive blow that will determine the course of the war.

　Moreover, the axial guns on every warship began an intense energy recharging process.

　Whether it's the Honkai energy ray cannons equipped on the Charon-class light corvettes, the improved Moon Throne system on the Paris-class heavy corvettes, the three-time improved Moon Throne system on the Halberd-class destroyers, or even the four-time improved Moon Throne system on the Kingfisher-class light cruisers, the preparation of each cannon shot foreshadows an unprecedented firepower feast in the upcoming battle.

　Given the omniscient power wielded by the high-dimensional plant, Sa, it was impossible for Him not to have noticed the battle preparations of the Death Fleet under Moros's command.

　With the power of [Omniscience], Sa has an extremely clear and profound understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of both armies.

　Therefore, how could He possibly be foolish enough to confront the Death Fleet head-on and engage in a proper battle line duel?

　No, He has more effective and targeted tactics.

　"Agent, this battle is now in your command!"

　The voice of the man she spoke carried an undeniable authority.
