Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The greatest sound is silence. The entire floating island trembled violently under the bombardment of the beams of light, like a giant beast struggling desperately under the judgment of the end times.

　The buildings on the floating island collapsed instantly in the shockwave of the explosion. Countless stones and fragments were thrown into the air by the enormous force of the explosion, scattering and flying in all directions, drawing dazzling arcs in the sky.

　The aftershocks of the explosion continued to spread, and the edges of the floating island began to gradually crumble.

　Cracks, like the claws of a demon, spread wildly across the island's surface, tearing this once impregnable aerial fortress to shreds.

　Huge rocks and debris fell from the sky, crashing violently into the sea below and creating towering waves.

　Firelight and smoke intertwined, creating a chaotic apocalyptic scene that shrouded the entire floating island in darkness and the shadow of destruction.

　The floating island, once a symbol of divine glory, has lost its former splendor and magnificence under the bombardment of dazzling beams of light.

　Finally, as the last foundation crumbled into nothingness in the blazing light of the Doomsday Judgment, Destiny's last and most majestic main floating island plunged into the abyss of destruction.

　However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Theresa will not be able to witness this scene in person.

　Facing the dazzling pillar of light that pierced through the main floating island, even though she was inside the divine grace barrier, Theresa did not think she could survive.

　“Cecilia, Grandpa…”

　She murmured softly, her eyes filled with reluctance and sorrow, and then the white-haired girl closed her eyes.

　next moment……

　"boom!"

Chapter 326 Battle of the Destiny Headquarters

　"Ah—life... is truly a fragile thing."

　Standing inside the cabin of the first evacuation transport plane, gazing at the Schicksal headquarters engulfed in scorching light on the command screen in front of him, and the scene of the divine grace barrier below the headquarters gradually shattering, the Archbishop of Schicksal sighed softly.

　Tears welled in his eyes; clearly, he was not unmoved by Theresa's passing.

　When Karen is not involved, Otto's affection and tolerance for Theresa are beyond question.

　This can be glimpsed from various signs in the intrinsic world.

　Theresa proposed the establishment of the St. Freya Academy

　Otto readily agreed to the request.

　During the War of Destiny, he did not fully activate the headquarters' defense system, allowing Theresa to lead her team to bombard the Destiny headquarters.

　Despite Theresa's open rebellion, Otto still regarded her as his successor and paved the way for her to inherit the position of Archbishop of Destiny.

　In this world, how many people could make such a decision under such circumstances?

　However, in Otto's heart, there was an unshakable belief: his unwavering devotion to Karen.

　He was willing to pay any price for Kallen's resurrection, even sacrificing his most beloved granddaughter, Theresa.

　In the original world, for this ultimate goal, Otto even went so far as to personally use [Feather of Dust] to brainwash Theresa into becoming a idiot.

　Now, when Theresa chooses to deviate from his plans and insists on protecting the Valkyries and staff stationed at Schicksal headquarters, Otto makes the difficult decision to abandon the effort to save her life.

　Theresa, my dear granddaughter, may you rest in peace. I will make the Second Herrscher and Moros pay for your death.

　Making a promise in his heart and wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Otto turned his attention to the electronic map on the command screen.

　There, two red dots were rapidly approaching the area of ​​the former Schicksal headquarters—the airship carrying Fu Hua and Cecilia.

　This is precisely why Otto was confident that sacrificing just a batch of transport planes would keep Moros and the Second Herrscher in place.

　If Theresa follows his plan, she might be able to witness the arrival of reinforcements.

　Unfortunately, everything was already set in stone, and Otto could only place his hopes on the upcoming battle and the rewards he could reap afterward.

　As he watched the airship gradually approaching the Tyrrhenian Sea and airspace on the electronic map, Otto took a deep breath and initiated a video communication request to Fu Hua and Cecilia through the Destiny Command System on the transport plane.

　"Fu Hua, Cecilia, I'm so sorry to meet you at this time and in this way..."

　Otto's voice revealed an undisguised weariness and heaviness.

　"Bishop Otto!"

　When the two figures appeared on the screen, they immediately noticed that Otto's environment was not the familiar command room of the Destiny Headquarters, and an ominous premonition welled up in their hearts.

　"As you can see, the Schicksal headquarters has suffered a devastating blow, and I am currently on an evacuation transport plane..."

　Otto's voice was deep and firm.

　He transmitted the horrific scene of Schicksal headquarters being destroyed by a dazzling pillar of light, allowing the two to directly experience the destructive power of Morros and the Second Herrscher.

　"Now, I officially issue the order: kill the mysterious person who attacked Schicksal headquarters with the Second Herrscher, and successfully capture the Second Herrscher."

　Just as Otto was having a video call with Fu Hua and Cecilia, Morros also learned from the report of the Avatar of Death and the detection spell he kept on himself that two Destiny airships were approaching.

　"Cirin, you continue to clear out the remaining enemies. I have some things to take care of."

　After saying that, Moros urged the Death Avatar beneath his feet to fly at full speed toward the two Destiny Transport Ships.

　To prevent being picked off one by one by the enemy, Cecilia and Fu Hua rendezvoused on the two airships they were on when they arrived over the Mediterranean.

　This ensured their safety before entering the battlefield, and also prevented the necromancer from having to disperse his forces to deal with threats from two directions.

　“Moros…”

　After opening her mouth, Xilin ultimately chose to offer her blessings.

　"Wish you all the best."

　As a fully-fledged Herrscher with six Herrscher cores, the Honkai Queen's perception is in no way inferior to that of the Death Incarnation.

　Therefore, she also noticed the two airships carrying Fu Hua and Cecilia quietly approaching.

　Although Sirin didn't know the specifics of the two transport ships, considering that they dared to approach this airspace even after witnessing her and Moros's formidable strength, she had enough reason to believe that these two floating transport ships must be carrying a significant force that posed a threat to her and the necromancer.

　After watching Moros and the Avatar of Death disappear into the distant horizon, Sirin took a deep breath and turned her sharp gaze to the first group of transport planes, namely the group where Otto was.

　As for the second batch of transport planes, which Theresa had sworn to protect and which were full of Valkyries and staff evacuating the floating island of the Celestial Lord, they and everything they carried had been reduced to ashes in the light and heat of the [Doomsday Judgment].

　"You ants, you all deserve to die for putting me in such a wretched state!"

　Accompanied by the Honkai Queen's angry shout, spears shimmering with orange-yellow light shot like meteors toward the transport planes that were moving away from the area.

　With her six Herrscher cores, and now that the second batch of transport planes evacuating Schicksal headquarters has been completely wiped out after the [Doomsday Judgment], she is able to detect any trace of the transport plane group where Otto is located.

　That is also a very reasonable thing.

　However, to Sirin's surprise, her attack did not hit the transport planes bearing the Destiny emblem as expected.

　When the Spear of the Void was halfway through its flight, a torrent of golden liquid suddenly surged forth in the void.

　These solutions gathered rapidly, as if they were alive, and devoured the aerial spears she fired at the transport fleet one by one.

　The First Key of God, the Key of Revelation, the Void Treasury!

　Obviously, in order to protect the vital supplies loaded inside the transport plane that were crucial to Kallen's resurrection, Otto decided to personally join the battle.

　Otto, the Archbishop of Destiny known for his wisdom, would not be content with merely intercepting Sirin's attacks.

　Under the will of the Archbishop of Destiny, more golden liquid emerged from the void.

　They transformed into mimicry weapons that looked exactly like the pistols of the Seventh Divine Key, the Key of Destruction, Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

　Otto, standing in the cargo hold of the transport plane, flicked his finger, and hundreds of mimicking Heavenly Fire Judgments fired simultaneously, unleashing deadly bullets at the Honkai Queen.

　Even Sirin, who possesses six Herrscher cores and is at her peak, has to be cautious in the face of such a fierce attack.

Chapter 327 The Battle of Destiny

　The necromancer who was using his Death Avatar to intercept Fu Hua and Cecilia was certainly aware of the battle between Sirin and Otto.

　However, in his opinion, Sirin, who had just been taught a lesson by the Divine Grace Barrier, should not be able to make a mistake a second time in such a short time.

　Moreover, she is now facing Otto, who intends to explore a method to resurrect Kallen through the Second Herrscher in her prime.

　Even if Miss Pufferfish does crash, she won't be in any real danger.

　Therefore, after a brief deliberation, Moros decided to continue the current interception operation instead of returning to the original site of the Destiny headquarters to deal with Otto with Sirin.

　With the combined power of a demigod-level necromancer and a Honkai Queen possessing six Herrscher cores, Otto's combat strength using his Soul Steel body is almost negligible.

　However, the Archbishop of Destiny's existence is so unique that he is a formidable opponent who is difficult to truly kill.

　Even if Moros possesses soul-level attack methods, these methods cannot guarantee that they will be effective when facing Otto.

　If Otto's existence cannot be completely eliminated, and his combat-use soul steel body is merely destroyed, then such a victory is meaningless.

　Mandate of Heaven has been the world's hegemon for hundreds of years, and Otto ruled Mandate of Heaven for as long as five hundred years.

　Over these long years, the sheer number of combat-grade soul steel bodies he accumulated is immeasurable.

　Getting back to the main point, with the astonishing speed of the Death Avatar and the Destiny Floating Transport Ship, the distance between the two sides rapidly closed as they traveled towards each other.

　Soon, the necromancer standing atop the dragon's head, the embodiment of death, spotted the two massive floating transport ships in the distance, and Fu Hua and Cecilia standing on the upper decks of the ships.

　Upon seeing them, Moros didn't waste any words and immediately began casting battle spells.

　[Instant Cast - Curse of Weakness]!

　[Instant Spell Casting & Delayed Casting]!

　[Instant Cast - Curse of Rot]!

　……

　In the blink of an eye, dozens of different battle spells rained down on Fu Hua and Cecilia.

　Moros knew very well that even though he had already advanced to the level of a demigod necromancer, he could not afford to underestimate opponents like Fu Hua and Cecilia.

　Whether it's Fu Hua's Void Sword God or Cecilia's [Black Abyss White Flower], both are powerful attack methods capable of inflicting heavy damage or even death on him.

　Therefore, he chose to go all out, using various battle spells to continuously weaken the two opponents and ensure that he could take the initiative in this battle.

　Given the necromancer's current magical power, the effectiveness of the battle spells he personally casts is beyond doubt.

　Before Fu Hua and Cecilia could fully react, they were afflicted with dozens of debuffs.

　However, these two elite combatants from the Destiny are not so easily dealt with.

　Suddenly, Fu Hua unleashed an astonishing aura, with crimson flames erupting from her body, instantly dispelling most of the negative effects caused by the spells.

　Moreover, these flames coalesced into a gigantic and blazing orange-yellow fire phoenix, charging powerfully toward the incarnation of death, which was not much smaller than the Destiny Transport Ship.

　While Cecilia is not as powerful as Fu Hua, she has also demonstrated her unique abilities.

　"Black Abyss White Flower, help me!"

　With the swing of the massive knight's lance, the aura of this S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny surged dramatically upwards.

　It was obvious that a large part of the magical effects on her had been dispelled.

　Moros did not feel sorry about this.

　This is a natural result.

　If Fu Hua and

　If Cecilia could be defeated so easily, then they wouldn't be considered Otto's trump card.

　While the two Valkyries dealt with the negative spells he had applied to them, Moros completed the next round of battle spells.

　[Instant Cast Spell: Thunderbolt!]

　[Instant Cast - Frostbolt]!

　[Instant Cast - Deep Freeze]!

　……

　Under the control of the necromancer, these incredibly destructive spells slammed towards the two floating transport ships beneath Fu Hua and Cecilia's feet.

　Moros's tactical approach was clear and decisive.

　He had targeted the two Valkyries' weakness in aerial maneuverability, intending to separate them and defeat them one by one.

　Fu Hua, as a member of the Fusion Tactics, does possess the ability to fly, but Cecilia is different.

　Even with the Divine Key [Black Abyss White Flower] in her hands, she still needs tools to fly.

　As for the phoenix made of flames that pounced on him, Moros didn't even bother with it.

　The avatar of death beneath his feet was a creation of legendary magic, possessing genuine demigod-level combat power.
