Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　These moments spent together deepened the bond between Morros and Vervie.

　Moreover, Moros also maintained contact with Alicia, Eden, and Mebius through the [Wraith Jar].

　These exchanges across dimensional barriers not only brought the necromancer mental relaxation and pleasure, but also made him deeply realize the importance of the emotional bonds between him and those around him.

　It was through communication with them, and regular reports from the governments of Australia and New Zealand, that Morrow was able to stay in sync with the world and avoid becoming disconnected from the outside world.

　After all, while magical training could grant him great power, it also required a significant investment of time and effort.

　Time slipped away little by little amidst this busy and demanding schedule.

Chapter 199 The Results of a Year

　Time flies when you're on a spiritual journey; in the blink of an eye, the seasons have changed and a year has passed in a flash.

　After reaching the demigod level, Moros experienced his fourth leap in life level.

　This leap not only granted him greater strength and a longer lifespan, but also made his learning ability advance by leaps and bounds.

　Thanks to this, Moros successfully completed the first two tasks of the initial basic learning plan within that year.

　The necromancers of today have mastered all the common versions of level 5 campaign spells except for [Doomsday Judgment].

　This significantly improved his combat effectiveness compared to a year ago.

　Especially when the undead army is restricted, the practice of these spells becomes even more crucial.

　At the same time, Moros is also fully proficient in the three magical arts: [Witchcraft], [Destruction Magic], and [Summoning Magic].

　The acquisition of these magical skills not only boosted his combat power once again, but also brought his magical cultivation to an unprecedented new height.

　This is not something that is incomprehensible.

　Defeating the wild monster hordes that spawned during the [Special Week] allowed Moros to accumulate a considerable amount of experience points.

　Even after reaching level 31, the experience required to level up a hero by one level is already astronomical.

　However, the amount of time and energy that necromancers devote to magical practice is not unfounded.

　In addition, each attempt consumes a huge amount of magical resources.

　Various magical experiments.

　It is perfectly reasonable to be able to upgrade a hero's level by one level again.

　In addition to the increase in hero level, this period of learning has also endowed Moros with a deeper knowledge base.

　This knowledge not only boosted his [Knowledge] attribute by 1 unit, but also laid a more solid foundation for his future magical path.

　It is precisely because of this positive and significant feedback that necromancers can remain single-mindedly in the demiplane, focusing intently on studying magic, unmoved by the colorful and alluring world of Earth.

　However, just as he was preparing to press on and fully commit to conquering the magical art known as [Light Magic], a cross-dimensional communication from Velvi interrupted his plans.

　As Moros's companion, Velvi possesses the ability to traverse the dimensional barriers of demiplanes, making it easy to understand why she can connect to his [Wraith Jar].

　Faced with Vilvie's communication, the necromancer could only temporarily put aside his magical research to listen to his lover's call.

　Earth, the Australian continent.

　“Moros, as I just said, I sincerely invite you to witness my latest masterpiece.”

　Standing in the control room of a manufacturing base that was almost entirely unmanned, the expert enthusiastically extended an invitation to her lover.

　Several years have passed since Morrow took office in Australia and New Zealand.

　During this period, in order to provide Vervie with an excellent research environment, he specifically instructed the governments of both countries to fully cooperate and ensure the smooth progress of her scientific research.

　With the necromancer's instructions, the bureaucrats who had experienced unprecedented power under his rule exerted great initiative and devoted all their efforts, manpower and resources to the cause.

　In just a few years, they successfully established a research and manufacturing base that even the Fire Moths failed to build.

　This base belongs entirely to Vervi, and she has absolute autonomy over it.

　Unlike scholars who work on fire-chasing moths, they do not need to submit applications to parliament to coordinate the use of experimental equipment.

　Here, Vervier can conduct various experiments and research at will according to her own research interests and needs.

　This unprecedented freedom and convenience made Velvi more than once glad that she had refused Alicia's invitation and insisted on not joining the Fire Moth.

　The expert clearly understood that if they joined the Fire-Chasing Moth, even if they had access to certain research resources, they would inevitably be subject to various restrictions and constraints.

　Now, in this world that belongs to her, she can freely explore the mysteries of science and pursue the ultimate truth.

　With such support, Vervi's research path has become increasingly broad.

　Her abilities were fully utilized with the help of the unmanned base, and technological breakthroughs emerged like mushrooms after rain.

　Just like the steel behemoth currently displayed on the monitoring screen in the main control room, it is another masterpiece of Velvi – the floating warship.

　Ever since she saw the Destiny's airship at the social ball in Eden, she has been deeply fascinated by it.

　At that moment, the expert made up her mind to build her own floating warship.

　Now, that dream has become a reality.

　With countless resources poured in, Velvi finally created its own aerial behemoth.

　The airship lies quietly in the dock, with a wingspan of 963.77 meters, a length of 433.3 meters, and a height of 102.39 meters.

　It can carry 72 unmanned Honkai energy enhanced fighters, and is equipped with 27 multi-functional missile launch silos. The fuselage is also equipped with six powerful 410mm Honkai energy enhanced electromagnetic cannons.

　This colossal steel behemoth will undoubtedly become the largest man-made aircraft on the planet, and its appearance will completely change the landscape of the international community.

　The pure white paint job makes this floating warship, lying in the dock, resemble an elegant swan, both noble and majestic, waiting for the moment to soar through the sky and dominate the battlefield.

　Gazing at the floating warship on the monitoring screen in the main control room, the expert was filled with pride and anticipation.

　She was certain that Moros would be proud of her outstanding achievement.

　So she invited her lover again, looking forward to his arrival and witnessing together the moment when the floating warship took to the sky and conquered the heavens.

　This is their glorious moment, and Vervi longs to share this joy with her lover.

　Moros, of course, would not refuse the expert's invitation.

　Following the coordinates of the vengeful spirits stored in the [Vengeful Spirit Jar], he directly opened an interdimensional teleportation channel leading to Wilvie's side.

　With a familiar feeling of dizziness, the necromancer's figure vanished from the demiplane in an instant.

　The next moment, after traversing an immeasurable distance, Moros appeared before the expert.

　As soon as Morros appeared, Velvet eagerly pulled him toward the main control room.

　In front of the screen.

　Her eyes sparkled with excitement, like a child eager to share their favorite toy.

　"Look, Moros, this is my airship!"

　Pointing to the large monitoring screen in the main control room, Vervi's voice was full of anticipation.

　"What an amazing masterpiece!"

　Looking at the steel behemoth displayed on the monitoring screen, even the well-informed necromancer couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

　Hearing Moros's praise, Virvi's joy welled up like a spring.

Chapter 200 The Achievements of Vervière and Möbius

　As the woman deeply loved by the necromancer, Virvi was constantly showered with praise.

　However, in her view, these compliments, though pleasing to the ear, were far less precious than Moros's heartfelt affirmation.

　Bureaucrats in Australia and New Zealand, whether to curry favor with Morrow's authority or for their own benefit, always spoke highly of her.

　Their praise, though flowery in language, often lacked sincerity and depth, resembling more of an empty formality, failing to touch Wilvi's heart in the slightest.

　Unlike Morros, who rarely uttered praise, when he did, it was always filled with deep affection and sincerity.

　Therefore, when Vervie heard Morros's heartfelt praise, she felt an indescribable joy and satisfaction welling up inside her.

　This feeling was like sunlight piercing through the clouds, warm and bright, giving her soul the purest nourishment.

　"So, when can we get it flying in the sky?"

　"Moros asked softly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation."

　A man is a boy until he dies.

　These massive steel behemoths, with their imposing presence and cold industrial aesthetics, naturally ignite a deep-seated desire for exploration and conquest within men.

　Even though Moros had already entered the realm of demigods and could easily destroy such an industrial marvel, he could not resist his interest in this steel behemoth.

　Seeing this, a bright smile appeared on Vilvi's flawless face, and she answered confidently.

　"I have everything ready. Just press this button and it will take off immediately."

　With that, Velvi handed the carefully packaged airship controller to Moros.

　The moment the gift box was opened, an exquisite and futuristic controller was revealed before his eyes.

　By this point, how could Moros not understand what the expert meant?

　"It is truly my honor."

　With a knowing press of the button, the floating warship's artificial intelligence immediately received the command and began to activate the Honkai energy engine of this industrial marvel.

　Thanks to the expert's meticulous attitude, the warship she built had an exceptionally good sound insulation effect.

　Even when the Honkai Energy Engine, which provides tremendous power, is activated, it is almost completely silent.

　As the engine started, the airship began to vibrate slowly, like a giant beast about to awaken.

　At the same time, the various mechanical structures connected to the warships in the dock began to separate in an orderly manner, and the huge dock roof slowly opened, revealing a door to the sky for this steel behemoth.

　As the dock roof completely separated, the floating warship, aided by the anti-gravity system, broke free from the planet's gravity and slowly rose.

　Bathed in the sunlight, it appeared so majestic and magnificent, like a towering steel castle suspended in the air.

　Standing in front of the monitoring screen in the main control room, Moros and Velvi's eyes were fixed on the steel behemoth that was gradually rising into the air.

　The moment the airship fully ascended into the clear sky above the Australian continent, Vivi was overwhelmed with excitement.

　Her pink eyes sparkled with a dazzling light as she couldn't help but whisper.

　“Great! I did it!”

　Vilvi turned around excitedly and hugged Morros, her clear and melodious laughter echoing through the empty manufacturing base.

　Moros reached out and hugged the expert's slender and soft waist tightly, responding with a smile.

　"Yes, we succeeded."

　Just as Velvi was showing Moros her latest masterpiece, on the continent of Mu, far from Australia, Mebius, with her long, flowing green hair, was also showing the members of the Firemoth Council her research results.

　"As you all see, after a long period of tireless research, the First Research Institute has finally developed a new generation of enhanced surgery..."

　Holding the page turner and controlling the presentation screen to the next stage, Möbius calmly introduced the research results he had used to swindle funding.

　"Based on the previous generation of enhancement surgery and research on Herrschers, the new generation of enhancement surgery can not only extend the recipient's lifespan by 15 to 20 years and grant them an equivalent amount of youth, but also elevate their physical attributes to a level comparable to that of a low-ranking vampire..."

　Accompanied by vivid and engaging demonstrations on the projected screen, Möbius showcased the numerous advantages of the new generation of enhanced surgery.

　The scene was presented to the Moth of Fire members of parliament who were attending the meeting via video link.

　Although this enhancement surgery was essentially an unexpected bonus during her exploration of the [Fusion Warrior Surgery], it did not prevent this byproduct from being superior in performance to the previous generation of enhancement surgery.

　Of course, since it is a byproduct, we cannot expect this generation of enhancement surgery to be as perfect as the enhancement surgery that Möbius had previously developed.

　Sure enough, while the other members of parliament were listening with rapt attention and nodding in approval, Vincent, a member of parliament who upheld the principle of "humanity first," keenly observed the problem.

　“Dr. Möbius, if I’m not mistaken…”

　"Staring at Mebius's gradient pink-green eyes on the screen, Senator Vincent said in a deep voice."

　"Will your research findings directly change the nature of humanity?"

　Faced with Vincent's questioning, Mebius's lips curled into a deep smile.

　Why must humanity... be confined to this one form?

　she asked rhetorically.

　Although it did not directly answer Representative Vincent's question, the answer was sufficient to clarify the matter.

　Congressman Vincent frowned, his expression becoming even more serious.

　He was clearly dissatisfied with Mebius's answer.
