Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　"Yes, so please, please let me go..."

　Where is the research base?

　Moros interrupted Mayor Yang's soul directly, ordering him to mark the location of the research base on the magic map.

　He doesn't yet have the ability to storm the capital of Mu Continent and execute that councilor, but that doesn't mean Moros can't cause trouble for the councilor.

　A base for researching Honkai energy? In this era, building such a base is no easy feat. I hope you'll like this gift…

　Moros's eyes turned dangerous as he stared at the location of the research base pointed out by Mayor Yang's spirit.

　"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

　As the [Fireball] exploded one after another, the gate of the Honkai energy research base beneath the subway station was destroyed by Moros's attack.

　With Moros's current magical power of 15 points, his [Chain Fireballs] can deal an astonishing 240 points of damage.

　This destructive power far exceeds that of a 155mm cannon.

　Faced with such a powerful attack, the gates of the research base were naturally unable to withstand it.

　"Kill everyone here!"

　Moros coldly issued the order, and countless vampires and ghosts answered his call, flooding into the research base and unleashing a brutal massacre.

　Faced with the slaughter by vampires and ghosts, the security personnel inside the research base were almost powerless to fight back.

　The pre-civilization of this era had only just begun researching Honkai energy.

　Let alone high-end items like the Divine Key, this research base didn't even have the most basic one-star pistol in the game.

　Under these circumstances, the living people in the research base were quickly purged.

　"Tell me, where are Flacco and Emma's bodies?"

　They piled up the corpses of the researchers in the base and used necromancy to extract their souls.

　Moros pressed on impatiently, his face full of anxiety.

　Time was of the essence; the Mu Continent's army had already broken through the penultimate line of defense that Moros had set up near the research base.

　Even here, he could clearly hear the continuous explosions of artillery shells on the ground and feel the subtle sounds of the earth beneath.

　A slight tremor.

　"Am I dead?"

　"What's the situation now?"

　Who are Flactor and Emma?

　"..."

　The souls were filled with confusion and terror, unable to offer any useful information to Moros's question.

　With a cold expression, Moros used [Soul Lash] to wake the souls up and repeated his question once more.

　At the same time, he used magical projection to display the images of Flacco and Emma to the souls, allowing them to recognize them more clearly.

　The souls, watching the couple's image projected in the magic, finally provided useful information.

　However, at this moment, Moros wished he had never asked the real question.

　According to the researchers' ghosts, Flacco and Emma's bodies have been sent to the crematorium, and their ashes have now been removed.

　Faced with this cruel reality, Moros felt an indescribable grief welling up inside him.

　He bit his lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

　"Destroy this place! Then, retreat!"

　With a face full of grief, Moros led his undead army away from the Mu Continent after opening a demiplane portal.

　After they left, the research base was engulfed in an explosion.

Chapter 25 Aftermath

　Two hours after the explosion at the research base.

　Mu Continent, capital city, councilor's residence.

　"My lord, General Luo has sent word that the mission has failed; they have not been able to find the mage's remains."

　The butler stood respectfully beside a man of about forty years old, bowed slightly, and handed the report to his master.

　The man took the report, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep disappointment and dissatisfaction.

　He knew the serious problems that the report represented.

　A citizen with supernatural powers is driven to rebellion, plunging the entire city into war, with thousands of soldiers sacrificing their lives in the battle to wipe out the army of the dead...

　The destruction of the research base and the resulting massive economic losses have caused the congressman great distress.

　Even though he was a man of great power, he was feeling extremely troubled at this moment.

　"Ugh--"

　With a sigh, the congressman opened the report and began to understand the specific process and consequences of the incident.

　After a while, he stood up and walked to the filing cabinet next to him.

　After pulling out a thick document outlining the establishment of an organization, the congressman hesitated for a moment before finally unfolding it and signing his name.

　Closing the document and placing it on his desk, the congressman closed his eyes and pondered the price he should pay to clean up the mess caused by this incident.

　In front of the congressman, the closed document revealed a mark of moths drawn to a flame.

　One day after the explosion at the research base.

　In front of the war-torn upscale neighborhood, a little girl with two-tone hair stood there, clear tears streaming down her face.

　Moros, where are you? Are you alright?

　The war that took place in the city a day earlier allowed Vervi to see another side of her best friend.

　The aspect known as the "Necromancer".

　At the time, Virvi was somewhat bewildered when Zero's squad suddenly broke into the orphanage where she lived.

　But when they told the orphanage nanny that they were looking for a little girl named "Vilvie," Wilvie, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was instantly filled with fear.

　Fortunately, the nanny at the orphanage was kind-hearted and did not immediately expose her.

　Otherwise, Vilvi really doesn't know what fate awaited her.

　After all, those private squads led by Zero didn't seem like good people.

　Immediately afterwards, the ghosts and vampires dispatched by Moros descended like divine soldiers, annihilating the entire Squad 0.

　At that moment, Vilvi thought she had just escaped from the jaws of a tiger, only to fall into the den of wolves.

　Considering the appearance of the units in the Necropolis faction, this is completely understandable.

　However, when a ghost floated before her and conveyed Morros's farewell, Velvi suddenly understood many things.

　Although there are still many things she doesn't understand, at least Velvi knows that Moros is behind these monsters that saved her.

　That was enough for her.

　After the incident subsided, Vilvi came to the old neighborhood, hoping to see Morlos one last time.

　Unfortunately, Moros was no longer on Earth at that time.

　In order to completely cover up the traces of the past, Moros even went so far as to destroy the neighborhood where he used to live.

　Faced with the scene of ruins before her, Wilvi couldn't help but feel an indescribable sadness.

　She knew that this separation would last for who knows how long.

　We will definitely meet again! We definitely will!

　Making a vow in her heart, Virvi wiped away her tears and resolutely left the ruins.

　Three days after the explosion at the research base.

　Mainland China, Canghai City, bus station.

　"Recently, a group of terrorists attacked Y City, causing serious casualties and property damage."

　The news anchor reads the news report from his hand, and the scene behind him switches to the ruins of a small town that has been overrun by the undead army.

　The dilapidated buildings, the shards of glass scattered on the streets, and the dark red bloodstains that still remain today all tell the world the severity of this "terrorist attack."

　"According to witnesses, terrorists detonated bombs in the town center and opened fire on innocent civilians. Police and security forces quickly arrived at the scene to launch rescue and counter-attack operations. Currently, hundreds have died and thousands have been injured, including many women and children..."

　As the report continued, people at the bus stop turned their attention to the television screen.

　This hasn't happened on the Mu Continent for many years.

　To be precise, such a thing has never happened since the war that unified the Mu continent.

　"In this attack, Mayor Yang and many other officials of the city sacrificed their lives for the safety of the citizens. However, they were brutally murdered by the terrorists..."

　On the television screen, the portraits and names of Mayor Yang and other fallen officials were displayed one by one.

　"This terrorist attack has drawn widespread attention from the nation and the international community. The government has stated that it will make every effort to apprehend the terrorists and punish them severely. At the same time, the government also calls on citizens to remain calm, strengthen security measures, and work together to maintain social stability and security..."

　The screen shifts to present-day Y City, where a flurry of rescue and cleanup efforts are underway.

　Medical teams and volunteers from all over the continent of Mu are working tirelessly to treat the wounded, various relief supplies are piled up on both sides of the streets, and citizens are helping each other and uniting to rebuild their homes.

　"Currently, rescue efforts are still underway, and medical teams and volunteers are doing their utmost to treat the injured..."

　The television announcer's voice was clear and firm.

　Hearing the news report on TV, a cute girl with pink hair covered her mouth in surprise.

　She, from Vostok 51, never imagined that the outside world could be so terrible.

　"Oh dear, those people are so pitiful..."

　She couldn't help but sigh, tears welling in her eyes.

　Suddenly, someone gently patted her shoulder.

　She turned her head and saw a stranger wearing a blue uniform.

　"are you OK?"

　A stranger asked with concern.

　"Yeah, I just feel sorry for those who are injured."

　The girl replied.

　"Yes, there are always things in this world that are beyond our control."

　The stranger sighed.

　"But at least we can do our part to help them."

　The girl looked up, her eyes sparkling with hope.

　“Is there anything I can do?”

　The stranger smiled and handed her a flyer that read "Volunteer Recruitment".

　"If you'd like, you can join us and provide support to those who need help."

　The girl took the flyer and carefully read the information on it.

　"I want to go there to help those suffering people!"

　For a girl who loves humanity, she cannot choose to ignore such a situation.

　So she temporarily put aside her pursuit of a flawless paradise and decided to become a volunteer to go to Y City to participate in the reconstruction work.
