Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　With their freely deployable demiplane portals, the undead army possesses an unparalleled strategic mobility advantage.

　Given the fighting strength of the undead legion, once the resistance forces are pinned down, the resistance, lacking heavy firepower, will find it difficult to put up any meaningful resistance and will ultimately be annihilated.

　In just one week, on this continent with a total area of ​​over 700 million square kilometers, not a single organized resistance army or a well-structured resistance organization could be found.

　As a result, more than 100,000 people were brutally killed by undead soldiers in this cleanup operation.

　This accounts for almost 4% of the total population of the Australian continent.

　Such brutal killings plunged the inhabitants of the entire continent into deep fear, and no one dared to join the ranks of the resistance.

　Of course, Moros also considered Alicia and Eden's feelings.

　Therefore, apart from the killings on the battlefield, all other massacres were carried out by local nobles who were loyal to the necromancer.

　It is well known that layer upon layer of bureaucratic procedures is a characteristic of bureaucratic systems.

　Although Moros only asked the bureaucrats to eliminate all resistance organizations, he did not give specific implementation targets.

　But after he made it clear that this action would be closely linked to the political future of the bureaucrats, the bureaucrats would naturally do everything in their power to carry out the order.

　Under pressure from higher-ups and the lure of promotion and wealth, the grassroots implementers also demonstrated extremely high efficiency.

　It was this highly efficient killing, with everyone working together, that enabled such a large-scale massacre to be completed in just one week.

　Sydney Harbour, New South Wales, Australia.

　The sail-shaped theatre located at Bennelong Point is where Australia's elite gather.

　With the crackdown on the resistance coming to an end, Morrow summoned the powerful figures who had governed the Australian continent for him, ostensibly to reward their contributions.

　Given the necromancer's infamous reputation, naturally no powerful or noble person dared to disobey his orders.

　Even if they were genuinely unwell, these bureaucrats would travel great distances to the city with their private medical teams.

　Inside the theater, the lights were just coming on, creating a magnificent and resplendent atmosphere.

　The dignitaries, dressed in handcrafted gowns made of fine fabrics, awaited Moros's arrival with expressions of obedience and reverence.

　Since the necromancer's reason for summoning them was to reward meritorious service, these nobles did not have too many worries.

　Their current anxiety and anticipation stem from not knowing how the necromancer will reward their loyalty and contributions.

　There was no intention to deliberately leave these powerful figures waiting. As the last invited bureaucrat entered the concert hall, a dark blue vortex-shaped teleportation portal suddenly opened in the center of the stage.

　Moros, dressed in the [Death Embrace] suit, strolled out of the portal.

　Under the dazzling lights of the concert hall, his figure appeared so mysterious and majestic.

　His gaze swept over every nobleman present, finding no audacious fool daring to defy his will. Satisfied, the necromancer tapped the wooden floor of the concert hall stage with his [Underworld Staff].

　The sound of the strike, amplified by the physical amplification of the stepped side walls and the magical amplification of the spell he cast, reverberated throughout the concert hall, sending chills down the spine.

　"Everyone, I've seen your performance in this operation..."

　The necromancer's authority stems from his unparalleled and terrifying spellcasting abilities.

　Therefore, he doesn't need to use lengthy speeches to demonstrate his status, like many people in positions of power.

　Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Moros briefly praised the contributions of the powerful and wealthy.

　He then got straight to the point, shifting the conversation to the issues that the powerful and wealthy were most concerned about.

　“You have already proven your loyalty with your actions. I am not a stingy person. I will reward loyal people generously, regardless of their background or whether they are good or evil.”

　As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the dignitaries in the concert hall instantly turned fervent.

　Wasn't this the very moment they were so willing to cooperate with Moros's orders and do everything in their power to wipe out the resistance organizations in their area?

　"Keane."

　"Your Majesty."

　The head of the Australian mainland administration quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

　"Margaret."

　"Your Majesty."

　Margaret, the only one in the bureaucratic system who could rival Keane, followed suit, responding respectfully.

　"I will personally perform the [High-Rank Vampire Conversion Technique] on you, granting you the power of a high-rank vampire."

　Moros's words revealed a strong sense of confidence.

　With his mastery of the legendary-level Necromancy, his knowledge of vampire conversion, and his demigod-level spellcasting abilities, the necromancer can now directly convert high-level vampires without any magical rituals.

　Although the high-level vampires born through this transformation method are only barely at the level of high-level professionals and are far less powerful than normal high-level vampires, this is still a remarkable improvement compared to the previous period when only low-level vampires could be transformed.

　"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." *2

　Without the slightest hesitation, Keane and Margaret said in unison.

　Upon hearing this, Moros nodded in satisfaction.

　His gaze swept over the two powerful figures, as if he could see into their very souls.

　Then, he slowly raised the [Underworld Staff] in his hand.

　Without the necromancer chanting any incantations, two dark and profound beams of magical light shot out from the tip of the [Wand of the Underworld] and accurately entered the bodies of Keane and Margaret.

　Instant cast spell - High-level Vampire Conversion!

　Under Moros's control, the power of fifth-level dark magic began to reshape their bodies.

　Their skin gradually lost its human rosy hue, becoming pale and translucent.

　His eyes turned deep and blood red, like two dazzling rubies, shimmering with a heart-stopping light.

　Sharp canine teeth protruded from their lips, gleaming with a chilling light, as if telling the story of the two newly born high-ranking vampires' thirst for blood.

　Most notably, Keane and Margaret's backs suddenly bulged, and a pair of jet-black bat wings instantly broke through the constraints of their skin and clothing, spreading out freely.

　These bat wings are broad and powerful; with a gentle flap, they create a sharp gust of wind.

　Smiling as he watched this scene, Moros knew that his transformation spell had succeeded.

Chapter 242 The Necromancer's Revenge and the Powerful's Response

　As high-ranking vampires who were given a new life by the [High-Rank Vampire Conversion Technique], Keane and Margaret obviously could not fully control this surge of power in the early stages of the conversion.

　It was precisely because of this that the dignitaries in the concert hall witnessed firsthand the terrifying power displayed by these two newly born high-ranking vampires.

　Furthermore, Morros aptly revealed the long lifespan of at least 5000 years possessed by high-ranking vampires.

　This information was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar among the powerful and wealthy.

　From the burning gazes they cast at Keane and Margaret, one could clearly sense the restlessness and longing in their hearts.

　It is obvious that these nobles have endless longing and expectation for the extraordinary power and long lifespan of high-ranking vampires.

　Sensing the longing in those eyes, Moros's lips curled into a slight smile.

　He knew that from this day forward, any instructions he gave would be executed perfectly.

　However, as a demigod-level...

　The mountain sorcerer, the necromancer, was well aware of what he should do at this moment.

　He gently waved the [Wand of the Underworld] in his hand, its magical light flickering slightly, and the newly promoted high-ranking vampires, Gene and Margaret, were gracefully escorted back to their seats below the stage.

　Following that, Moros went on to announce the rewards for other dignitaries.

　However, compared to Keane and Margaret, the rewards received by the other nobles were not so extravagant.

　Of course, this is only relatively speaking.

　In fact, the value of these rewards is by no means low.

　Nearly ten mid-level vampires were created with the swing of the [Underworld Staff].

　Moros also generously distributed more than thirty [Vampire Conversion Daggers] used to convert low-level vampires.

　Although the Vampire Transformation Dagger is no longer a rare treasure that only the elite could possess, thanks to the large auctions held regularly in Canberra, it is no longer the rare item it once was.

　However, it is undeniable that this magical artifact, capable of transforming ordinary people into low-level vampires, still possesses immeasurable value.

　At the last major auction in Canberra, none of the 30 [Vampire Transformation Daggers] sold for less than 20 billion Mu Continent currency.

　This already demonstrates the widespread recognition and popularity of such magical artifacts.

　Getting back to the main point, the atmosphere in the concert hall reached its climax after Moros announced all the rewards.

　The powerful and wealthy whispered amongst themselves, discussing this unprecedented feast.

　Amidst the clinking of glasses, guests gathered in small groups to discuss the latest developments on the planet, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to engage in their social activities.

　Although these prominent and powerful figures often attend various social banquets, such a high-profile occasion is extremely rare.

　Especially the banquets attended by the elusive necromancer who is rarely seen, and for whom they can pledge their allegiance, are extremely rare.

　Since Morrow took control of the Australian continent and New Zealand, he has personally attended only a handful of banquets.

　In this situation, the powerful and wealthy would naturally not miss the opportunity to get close to Moros in order to further consolidate or strengthen their own status and power.

　After all, given the status of necromancers in this land, a single word of praise from one of them could significantly boost the power of a certain nobleman.

　Unfortunately, to the disappointment of these dignitaries, after the last honor was announced, Moros's figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared silently from the concert hall.

　In the eyes of necromancers, these powerful figures who appear high and mighty to outsiders are nothing more than pawns used to manage their territories.

　After completing the necessary tool maintenance, he didn't want to waste his time on these chess pieces.

　In contrast, he preferred to spend time with Velvi, communicating magically with Alicia and Eden, or engaging in in-depth discussions with Mebius about the progress and prospects of the [Fusion Warrior Project].

　Even if we take a step back, necromancers are willing to devote their time to researching new legendary magic, constantly pursuing self-transcendence and improvement.

　Suppressing the resistance groups on the Australian continent is simply chopping off the United Nations' claws that have been extended into its own territory.

　As a demigod-level necromancer, Moros was certainly not satisfied with this.

　However, before he could take revenge, he had to ensure the safety of Mebius and Vervière.

　Therefore, the necromancer had to first focus on eliminating the resistance groups on the Australian continent.

　But now, things are different.

　With the destruction of the last resistance organization, Moros was finally able to unleash a brutal and merciless reprisal on those in power who had tried to challenge his limits and test his patience.

　Under the necromancer's will, at the cost of temporarily exhausting his magic power, [Storm Bone Ape Hanuman] unleashed a [Tornado Storm] in the directions of East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.

　With the technological level of this era far surpassing that of Earth, those powerful figures at the top of human society would certainly not be unaware of these three terrifying storms that resembled the end of the world.

　Through real-time monitoring footage transmitted by military satellites, they witnessed the horrific scene of those steel behemoths that unfortunately blocked the storm's path being torn to shreds by the raging storm.

　Such a horrific scene once again shocked these powerful, flesh-eating rulers with their own strength.

　This kind of magic, capable of unleashing the raging power of nature, is no less destructive than the powers of a Herrscher.

　It could even be said that, compared to those Herrschers who don't even understand how to use their own powers, the magic of necromancers has shown a more significant and direct effect in disrupting the normal social order.

　Faced with these three Category 12 tornadoes crossing the Coral Sea and the Arafura Sea, these powerful rulers had to admit that their previous rash actions may have indeed been somewhat inappropriate.

　However, so far, these meat-eaters do not feel that they cannot resolve the current crisis.

　Although they could not directly quell the raging tornado,

　But these rulers know that they do not need to confront the violent power of nature head-on.

　Those who stand at the pinnacle of power in human society may have shortcomings in their own abilities, but the advice provided by their advisory teams can completely compensate for these deficiencies.

　When these powerful figures ordered the resistance groups on the Australian continent to gather in an attempt to retake Möbius, they had already foreseen the possible retaliation.

　Therefore, they had already devised a detailed plan to deal with the necromancer's retaliation.

　Now, it's simply a matter of putting this plan into practice.

　After a brief exchange of opinions, these powerful figures at the top of the pyramid of human society reached a consensus.

　Let the moths that chase the flames resolve the crises brought about by these storms.

Chapter 243 Dr. Mei's Emerging Talent

　Having received instructions from the powerful figures at the top of the human society pyramid through the United Nations, the members of the Moth Chaser Council, though dissatisfied, quickly convened an emergency video conference to discuss countermeasures.

　"Everyone, we are fully aware of the current situation. It is urgent, and we need to make a decision immediately."

　Congressman Eugene tapped the microphone lightly, his gaze sweeping over the serious and focused faces on the screen.
