Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　While he was immersed in the ocean of magical research, Mebius also received a carefully prepared gift from the necromancer.

　A genetic sample from a thousand tribulations.

　For a demigod-level Ashan spellcaster, the amount of gene samples required to cast a curse spell is actually not that many.

　Therefore, after ensuring that enough was reserved for spellcasting and research, the remaining gene samples became an excellent gift for him to win over Mebius.

　Faced with a genetic sample from an alien capable of annihilating a Herrscher in a short time, Moros believed that although the underlying meaning—to enhance their friendship—was obvious to Mebius, she would still be deeply attracted by its unique value and find it hard to resist.

　The development of events did indeed not exceed his expectations.

　When the transport container containing the Thousand Tribulations gene sample, personally escorted by the vampire counts, arrived at the research institute in Queensland, the green-haired, mature female scientist was immediately attracted by the eye-catching word "alien" on the label.

　Mebius certainly saw through Moros's intentions, but precisely because of this, she had no doubt about the authenticity of the genetic sample.

　Aliens... what an interesting guinea pig...

　With that in mind, she quickly and carefully opened the operating box, peeled off the protective materials layer by layer, and carefully took out the precious genetic sample.

　Then, Mebius turned to his interpreter.

　"Klein, get my lab ready, we're in for a busy day."

　"Yes, Doctor."

　Just as Mebius and Klein were engrossed in the in-depth analysis of the Thousand Tribulations gene sample, Velvet's research also made a breakthrough.

　"It seems that when the next Herrscher descends, I will be able to stand by your side."

　Standing before the newly developed [Special Armament - Model Nine], the expert's face beamed with barely suppressed joy.

　She then left a message on the message board where the Vilvies communicated, sharing her joy and achievements, while also seeking wisdom and help from other Vilvies.

　【expert】

　[Model 9 has been successfully developed. Commander, what kind of weaponry do you think I should continue developing?]

　[Also, Scholar, you're not allowed to eat those kinds of random things anymore. I always operate on your body after you... Please think about others a little, okay?]

　After leaving behind this necessary information, the expert began to work on manufacturing the new machine.

　She unfolded an engineering drawing depicting a uniquely shaped and innovative box.

　This is a mode of transportation that Mebius customized for her.

　Although Möbius and Vervie see each other as their biggest rivals, they both admire each other's abilities.

　It has received extremely high recognition.

　Möbius expressed his admiration for Vervier's superb skills and unique insights in the field of mechanics, while Vervier also praised Möbius's outstanding achievements in the field of biotechnology.

　With the presence of Moros, the relationship between these two most outstanding scientific giants of this era was actually quite good.

　In this context, it's not surprising that Möbius commissioned a woman to customize a mode of transportation.

　"Using the [Exploration Component] as the primary mode of transportation, equipped with hundreds of types of anti-enemy weaponry, and employing cutting-edge technology to ensure that the user will not fall during mobility..."

　In an email sent to Mebius, Vervier detailed her design blueprints.

　After clicking "Send," she waited quietly for the email transmission progress bar to finish.

　After completing this step, Velvi was finally able to begin her own research project.

　Her eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, as if she had already foreseen the glorious achievements to come.

　Mu Dalu, inside a secret research institute under the Fire Moth.

　Kevin, dressed in the uniform of the Firemoth squad leader, is accompanying Dr. May, who is wearing a white lab coat and has her hair tied up in a high ponytail, as they stroll leisurely through a corridor that is simple yet full of sci-fi aesthetics.

　The two walked at a leisurely pace, as if they were enjoying this rare moment of peace.

　But in reality, this was May assigning Kevin a task.

　"Kevin, do you understand what I mean?"

　"oh, I understand now."

　Kevin nodded slightly and responded without hesitation.

　Compared to Mebius, Dr. May's style of doing things is undoubtedly more restrained.

　But restraint does not mean she will act entirely in accordance with the will of the Firemoth Council.

　After careful consideration, Dr. Mebius agreed to the research collaboration proposal submitted by Senator William.

　As for Kevin, between the Firemoth and Dr. May, he would undoubtedly stand firmly on Dr. May's side.

Chapter 260 Seizing the Herrscher Core

　Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Moros has been immersed in the abyss of magic for half a year.

　Above the cemetery territory, the boundless [Dark Canopy] gathers thick, dark clouds, completely obscuring the sky and leaving no trace of light.

　In this oppressive atmosphere, the towering [Level 5 Magic Guild] stands like a solitary peak, quietly perched on this mysterious and dangerous land.

　Over a long period of time, the death magic accumulated in the cemetery territory has reached a terrifying level.

　These deathly magics permeated the air, eroding every inch of the land.

　If any ordinary person dares to venture into this area shrouded in the magic of death, they will experience the terrifying corrosive power of the magic in a short period of time, their bodies will rapidly weaken, until they are seriously injured and collapse.

　Any moment of hesitation, any delay in escaping, will plunge them into an abyss of no return.

　On this land, death, like a cold shadow, approaches silently, pushing those who dare to challenge it into eternal silence and darkness.

　At this moment, in the library on the middle floor of the Magic Guild, Moros was sitting at his desk, engrossed in his work.

　He held a quill pen and wrote lines of words in the common language of Ashan on the soft parchment.

　His writings primarily consist of profound insights into the legendary spell "Death Avatar" and his reflections on how to improve it.

　Thanks to the four leaps in life level, the necromancer's wisdom has been greatly enhanced.

　Aponia's explanation of the threads of fate gave him immense confidence.

　For this reason, during this period, Moros's research on the legendary spell [Avatar of Death] progressed exceptionally smoothly.

　Based on the current progress, it will only take him another six months or so to truly master this legendary spell with its terrifying power.

　"Om-"

　Just then, a sudden communication request broke the tranquility of the library.

　Moros's pen paused, leaving a stain on the parchment.

　He frowned slightly, then, as if remembering something, picked up the one marked "Keane" from a pile of communication badges.

　"what's up?"

　"Your Majesty, this is Keane. There is news regarding the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Ice that you previously instructed us to provide!"

　Keane's voice carried a hint of excitement and awe.

　Upon hearing this, a faint ripple passed through Moros's heart.

　But the corners of his mouth still maintained an imperceptible curve, as if everything was within his expectations.

　"continue."

　"Your Majesty, based on our analysis and intelligence gathering of the various research institutes and military bases under the Fire Moth, we are certain that the Fire Moth has kept the core secrets of the Fifth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Ice, in a research institute located in Tokyo."

　Upon hearing Keane's report, the necromancer's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he could see the dazzling Herrscher core in the Moth of Fire's Tokyo Research Institute through this invisible magical communication.

　He nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction with Keane's intelligence.

　“Very good, Keane. You’ve done an excellent job.”

　Moros's voice conveyed both admiration and authority.

　"Next, I will personally go to the Tokyo Research Institute to retrieve the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Ice."

　The value of the Herrscher Core is enough to warrant a personal trip by a necromancer.

　He believed that with his abilities, going to the Tokyo Research Institute and retrieving the core would be a trivial matter, taking at most a dozen minutes.

　As a demigod-level spellcaster from Ashan, the necromancer did not believe that the Fire Moth could prevent him from obtaining the Herrscher Core stored in the Tokyo Research Institute before the Fusion Warriors were even born.

　In his communications with Keane, Morales reaffirmed Keane's work and promised him the reward he deserved.

　Afterward, he decisively severed the magical communication with the [Communication Badge] held by Keane.

　Then, Moros gracefully stood up and gently placed the quill back on the pen holder.

　He turned to the skeleton servants standing beside him and ordered them to copy the contents that had just been recorded on the stained parchment onto new parchment.

　Immediately afterwards, Moros raised his arm and casually waved it in the air.

　The next moment, a dark blue teleportation portal leading to the spacious living room on the upper level of the Magic Guild, which was exclusively for necromancers, immediately unfolded before him.

　The process of seizing the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Ice was unremarkable.

　Moros first located the spatial coordinates of the vengeful spirit hidden deep within the Tokyo subway tunnels, and then instantly descended to the spirit's location using a teleportation spell.

　Then, with the precise navigation provided by the satellite launched by Velvet, he quickly located the Moth of Fire's research institute in Tokyo.

　For the expert, launching several artificial satellites into a planetary geosynchronous orbit is not a difficult task.

　Considering the potential uses of artificial satellites, before upgrading the airships to the point where they could travel through space, Velvi still launched a few artificial satellites into the planet's geosynchronous orbit.

　Getting back to the main point, upon arriving at the Tokyo Research Institute under the Firemoth, Moros used spells such as [Mind Deception], [Puppet Master], and [Visions] to precisely locate the Herrscher core of the Ice Herrscher.

　After confirming the target location was correct, he decisively cast a teleportation spell, bypassing all the security defenses set up by the Fire Moth in the Tokyo Research Institute, and instantly appeared inside the room where the Herrscher core was located.

　The necromancer extended his invisible force field hand, as if caressing a precious treasure, and carefully took out the Herrscher Core, which exuded a chilling aura, from a specially made container.

　It truly is a Herrscher core, not a fake!

　After verifying the core's authenticity using magical means, Moros activated the remote teleportation channel to the Australian continent without hesitation.

　He was unwilling to let his personally led mission become a laughing stock because he brought back a fake.

　That would make Alicia laugh for a long time!

　With the teleportation channel fully opened, the necromancer, carrying this inestimable spoils, instantly traversed thousands of miles and returned to his territory.

　The entire operation proceeded smoothly, like flowing water.

　Moros easily obtained the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Ice using only some magic power that could naturally regenerate over time.

　However, he did not linger in the territory, but instead opened a teleportation portal to the secret research and manufacturing base deep in the Victoria Desert.

　There, his lover and apprentice, Vilvie, awaited his return with great anticipation.

　He had shared the plans for this operation with Vilvie long before Morros went to Tokyo, so she was already prepared to welcome his return.

　As I stepped into the base, Vervi rushed towards me like a bird in flight, her eyes sparkling with undisguised joy.

　Moros pulled her into a tight embrace and placed the Herrscher Core, which exuded a slight chill, into her hand.

Chapter 261 The Origins of Sea Abyss City and New Atlantis

　The Herrscher Core of the Fifth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Ice, is a priceless treasure, and news of its loss naturally alarmed the Council of Flame Chasers immediately.

　Upon learning this astonishing news, the members of the Firemoth Council were extremely anxious, like ants on a hot plate.

　They immediately issued the most urgent orders to their respective factions, vowing to find out which audacious force dared to be so brazen as to steal the precious Herrscher Core of the Ice Herrscher.

　Under intense pressure from lawmakers, the Moth Chaser's intelligence agents went all out, throwing themselves into an unprecedentedly busy period.

　in.

　They meticulously examined the internal surveillance system of the Tokyo Research Institute, a subsidiary of Moth Chaser, and compared the data with all public surveillance systems in the Tokyo area, searching for any possible clues.

　After countless investigations and comparisons, the technicians at Fire Moth finally made a breakthrough.

　Relying on big data and the extensive database of the Firemoth, they identified the mysterious figure who infiltrated the research institute and stole the core of the Herrscher of Ice—the necromancer.

　This discovery greatly excited the intelligence personnel, who were well aware of the value and importance of this intelligence.

　Therefore, these technicians did not hesitate to give a detailed report to their superiors.

　However, the seriousness of this intelligence far exceeded the scope of what middle-level managers should be able to handle.

　Therefore, he reported the information without hesitation.

　And so it was reported up and down the chain of command.
