Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　This is precisely the obstacle that the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, and the massive Honkai Beast army she leads must face.

　Having experienced the annihilation of the First Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason, the Mu Continent military knew that the power of the Herrschers, these divine apostles, should not be underestimated.

　In order to buy time for the defense lines that were under urgent construction in the rear and to deploy more military forces, the Mu Continent military launched a full-scale firepower attack without hesitation after locating the Honkai Beast Legion and the Second Herrscher of the Void.

　Under the decisive order of the General Staff of the Continental Army, countless missile silos on combat readiness duty opened their covers.

　Meanwhile, missile launchers, which are mobile by train and road, were also quickly erected.

　As the countdown ended, dazzling flames rose from all over the Mu Continent, and various types of missiles...

　The bullet streaked across the sky like a meteor, heading straight for the location of the Herrscher of the Void and the Honkai Beast Legion.

　Meanwhile, at air force bases across the Mu continent, multi-role fighter jets and bombers completed their final preparations.

　The first to take off were the heavy bomber units, with one behemoth after another entering the takeoff area.

　These behemoths are the most technologically advanced creations in the world, and their wingspans of over 60 meters are truly awe-inspiring.

　Good luck to you!

　The signal lights on the airport tower were flashing, signaling that takeoff was permitted.

　Then, the bomber pilots, who were already poised for takeoff, released the brakes, and the massive thrust generated by the engines enhanced by Honkai energy caused these aerial behemoths, weighing over 200 tons, to begin taxiing on the runway.

　A few dozen seconds later, the heavy bomber's wheels slowly left the ground, and the massive aircraft began to climb.

　"Complete the formation over the airport."

　Major General Barnett, who was in charge of the bomber wing, issued orders to the squadrons via radio.

　Considering the long loiter time of heavy bombers and the long time required to climb to the designated altitude, he had the bombers take off first to wait for the subsequent multi-role fighters. This helped to shorten the time it took for the entire formation to form.

　Major General Barnett, who had personally participated in the annihilation of the First Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason, knew that it was not a wise move to engage in piecemeal tactics with the Apostles of God.

　On the contrary, the best strategy is to assemble a large air fleet and use saturation attacks to counter the enemy's air defenses.

　However, when faced with the Herrscher of the Void, whose authority is vastly different, it remains a big question mark how effective these lessons learned from the Herrscher of Reason can be.

　Of course, at this moment, the Mu Continent military was unaware that the powers of the Herrscher they were about to face were completely different from those of the Herrscher of Reason.

　Under orders from the General Staff of the Mu Army, fighter jets from one air base after another took off, and a massive air fleet began to assemble in the skies over the Mu continent.

　On this day, dense and persistent contrails neatly divided the sky into sections, and for the first time, the people of Mu Continent witnessed the spectacle of contrails being covered again by contrails with identical trajectories before they had completely dissipated.

　Even though the Mu Continent army suffered crippling losses in the previous battle to annihilate the First Herrscher of Reason, this air fleet has now made all the nations on this planet realize once again the power of the Mu Continent, the strongest nation in the world.

Chapter 112 The Struggle of Mortals Under the Great Collapse

　Just as the massive air fleet began to assemble, a barrage of missiles, like a tidal wave, burst into the perception range of the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void.

　"Humans, your existence is a mistake."

　"War, deception, jealousy, greed, you have made me lose everything."

　"And today, I will devour everything."

　"Because of me, I am the collapse!"

　As she chanted softly, the Herrscher of the Void raised her right hand and snapped her fingers gently.

　The next moment, the entire sky was covered by layers of purplish-red imaginary channels.

　At that very moment, tens of thousands of missiles crashed straight into these imaginary channels.

　"Ha~"

　With a cold laugh from the Herrscher of the Void, these imaginary channels closed one by one, neutralizing the missile attack.

　And this is just the beginning.

　Under the manipulation of the apostles of God, these imaginary channels once again opened above the temporary defensive lines hastily constructed by the Mu army.

　"Damn it!"

　The commander of the temporary defense line only had time to utter the word before he and his men were overwhelmed by their own missiles pouring out from the imaginary channel.

　Through the most advanced military satellites on the planet, the generals of the Murmansk army witnessed the collapse of the makeshift defenses.

　Unsure whether the Herrscher that had descended this time possessed the ability to store attacks and release them at a critical moment, the generals had to urgently halt their plan to launch a second wave of missile barrage.

　However, this does not mean they intend to give up.

　Even though the Second Herrscher has demonstrated authority that is completely different from that of the First Herrscher, the generals of Mu Continent still believe that their massive air fleet is enough to pose a deadly threat to the Second Herrscher through saturation firepower.

　Then, through video footage transmitted back by military satellites, the generals of Mu witnessed firsthand the destruction of their invincible air fleet.

　Same recipe, same familiar taste.

　When the air fleet's missiles and bombs were swallowed up by the Herrscher of the Void's imaginary portals, Major General Barnett knew that their fate would be no different from that of the defenders of the temporary defensive line.

　It is obvious that a fighter jet with its flimsy body cannot survive an attack launched by itself.

　Of course, given the size of this air fleet, which is over four figures, it's quite normal that a few exceptionally lucky fighters would survive this attack.

　But as these surviving fighter jets prepared to escape this death-filled airspace, they encountered an even more deadly threat.

　"Roar!"

　With a deafening roar, the Second Herrscher of the Void's companion Honkai Beast, Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares, led a group of elite Assault-class Honkai Beasts towards these pitiful surviving fighters.

　These elite Honkai Beasts are far superior in speed, strength, and attack methods to ordinary rush-class Honkai Beasts, and their threat to surviving fighters is self-evident.

　This wasn't even the most despairing thing for the surviving pilots.

　What caused the surviving fighter pilots the most despair was not these elite Honkai Beasts, but the dragon-shaped Judgment-class Honkai Beast—Benares.

　Its body is dark blue, covered with a white silicon-based outer shell that looks like armor, giving it an indestructible appearance.

　Benares's wings spread out like two giant clouds under a blue sky, the blue and white skeletons intertwined, appearing both mysterious and majestic.

　Its claws and wing membranes are sky blue, giving it a light yet powerful feel.

　But Benares's terror lies far beyond its appearance.

　As a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Benares possesses unimaginable power. Even more terrifying is its ability to manipulate the surrounding Honkai energy, creating various deadly attack methods.

　Under its leadership, the elite assault-class Honkai Beasts hunted down the surviving fighters like wolves among sheep.

　Ultimately, not a single fighter jet was able to escape this airspace shrouded in despair.

　They burned and fell in this airspace, becoming a testament to the power of the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares.

　This is humanity's answer to the Judgment-class Honkai Beasts in this generation—an answer filled with despair and helplessness.

　After the complete annihilation of the aerial fleet, the Mu Continent military also temporarily lost the ability to effectively stop the Herrscher of the Void and her Honkai Beast legion from advancing.

　Due to a lack of foresight regarding the destruction of the air fleet, the Mu Continental Army did not pay sufficient attention to the evacuation of the small town that the Herrscher of the Void had chosen as its first target.

　Although evacuation efforts have begun, they are not very efficient due to a lack of enforcement and effectiveness.

　Therefore, when the vanguard of the Honkai Legion—those Assault-class Honkai Beasts—rushed into the city, a large number of people were still unable to escape in time.

　Thus, after the Self-Governing Lawyers were annihilated, the rulers of the Mu Continent received another report containing an astronomical number of civilian casualties.

　However, in the eyes of these high-ranking politicians, as long as the Herrscher of the Void is still busy searching and slaughtering, she has already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

　While the Herrscher of the Void and her Honkai Legion were temporarily staying in the small town, the armored legions urgently mobilized by the Mu Continent Army quickly surrounded the city.

　Out of fear of the spatial powers wielded by the Herrscher of the Void, the Mu Continent military decided not to use missiles and artillery shells for saturation attacks, but instead directly ordered armored forces to storm into the city and engage in urban warfare.

　The generals of Mu Continent hoped to counterbalance the spatial power of the Herrscher of the Void through close-range firepower suppression and ingenious tactical deployment.

　Unfortunately, reality dealt them another heavy blow.

　In urban warfare where long-range firepower is ineffective, even with the latest weapons enhanced by Honkai energy, human forces are no match for the elite Honkai Beast units directly under the Herrscher.

　Unlike ordinary Honkai Beasts born from minor Honkai events, the elite Honkai Beast force directly under the Herrscher includes many Temple-level Honkai Beasts and Honkai Emperors.

　In fact, the number of Emperor-class Honkai Beasts under the command of the Herrscher of the Void is quite considerable.

　The six Emperor-class Honkai Beasts—Parvati, Ganesha, Ashvins, Vishnu, Soma, and Lava Emperor—each represent the power of destruction and death.

　These powerful superior Honkai Beasts are far beyond the capabilities of hastily assembled division-level armored forces. In their presence, main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are like children's toys.

　Adding to that the Judgment-class Honkai Beast named Benares, the fact that the armored forces that stormed the city were severely damaged rather than wiped out already demonstrates the fighting prowess of the Mu Continent army.

　However, the sacrifice of this armored unit, which was urgently dispatched, was not in vain.

　Thanks to their valiant efforts, the Herrscher of the Void and her Honkai Beast army halted their advance in the city.

　This was devastating for the survivors in the city, but from the perspective of the Mu Continent bureaucrats, it was a real loss control effort.

Chapter 113 The War Between the Army and the Honkai Beasts

　The Second Herrscher, Herrscher of the Void, was naturally aware of the Mu Continent forces surrounding the city where He and his Honkai Beast Legion were located.

　However, the series of brilliant victories that followed had led this apostle of God to develop a deep contempt for the strength of Mu's continental army.

　Therefore, He simply dismissively ordered His companion Honkai Beast—the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares—to lead half of His Honkai Beast Legion, including three Emperor-class Honkai Beasts, to eliminate those who dared to provoke Him.

　Those overestimating ants.

　Meanwhile, He remained leisurely in the city, continuing his game of searching for and slaughtering survivors, showing no intention of stopping, nor any plan to lead the Honkai Beast Legion to personally break through this encirclement.

　In the eyes of the Herrscher of the Void, Benares' power was more than enough to easily deal with those ants.

　However, things took an unexpected turn for the better of this apostle of God.

　Faced with the Honkai Beast Legion led by Benares, the regular army of Mu Continent that was originally surrounding the city did indeed seem somewhat fearful at first.

　After all, the Herrscher of the Void's previous record was indeed brilliant and dazzling, inspiring awe in all who beheld her.

　However, after a series of probing attacks, Lieutenant General Spencer, who was in command of the troops, was surprised to find that the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, did not personally appear in the Honkai Beast Legion led by Benares.

　You're not here? Since you look down on us so much, let us give you a vivid military lesson with our actions!

　A glint of light flashed in Lieutenant General Spencer's eyes. He immediately made up his mind and decisively issued the order for a full-scale attack.

　He planned to take advantage of the Herrscher of the Void's absence to annihilate the Honkai Beast legion in one fell swoop, and ideally, also eliminate the dragon-shaped Honkai Beast that commanded the legion—Benares—thereby severing one of the Herrscher's arms.

　Upon receiving Lieutenant General Spencer's order, the various calibers of artillery attached to the troops that had tightly surrounded the city were quickly raised.

　From the massive 280mm caliber to the lighter 105mm caliber, under the precise guidance of artillery radar, these war kings, enhanced by Honkai energy, have all set their firing parameters.

　"fire!"

　With the order to fire given, tens of thousands of shells of various calibers shot out of the cannons like arrows, crashing down with tremendous force onto the advancing Honkai Beast swarm.

　At the same time, various anti-aircraft missiles streaked across the sky like meteors, launched from various field air defense system platforms, their spearheads aimed directly at the Judgment-class Honkai Beast—Benares—soaring in the sky.

　Because of the Herrscher of the Void's deep contempt for the Mu Continental Army, He did not personally go to the battlefield.

　This time, human shells and missiles encountered no resistance and landed squarely in the surging Honkai Beast horde.

　Although the number of Honkai Beasts killed by this round of firepower was not large and their quality was generally low, the Honkai energy shields that began to flicker on the bodies of those lower-rank Honkai Beasts told everyone that they were close to the brink of collapse.

　Once the Honkai energy shield is overloaded, human weapons will show these Honkai Beasts directly under the Herrschers how foolish it is to try to fight steel head-on with flesh and blood.

　Even if they were silicon-based life forms, they could not withstand the terrifying firepower that could melt steel.

　Meanwhile, the three Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, being the primary targets of the firepower, were also having a difficult time.

　A single standard anti-tank missile enhanced with Honkai energy can destroy a small piece of armor on an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

　Now, the firepower falling on them is far more than just an anti-tank missile.

　Despite being high-ranking Honkai Beasts, the Honkai energy shields of Emperor-class Honkai Beasts are far stronger than those of lower-ranking Honkai Beasts. However, in the face of the fierce firepower of the Mu Continent's regular army, which was like a volcanic eruption, their shields began to show visible dimming and ripples.

　As for the commander of this Honkai Beast legion—the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares—it still soared proudly in the sky, seemingly unconcerned about the Honkai Beasts below who were being bombarded by artillery fire.

　In fact, these Honkai Beasts were indeed insignificant to Him.

　Under the power of the Herrscher, even the Emperor-level Honkai Beast is nothing more than a product of Honkai energy.

　In other words, even if this Honkai Beast army is completely wiped out, it is nothing more than a consumable that a Herrscher can recreate in the blink of an eye.

　In Benares's eyes, as long as he could successfully annihilate the Mu Continent army that was confronting him, even if he had to sacrifice the entire Honkai Beast Legion, it would be an extremely worthwhile deal.

　Benares might be able to ignore the losses from the Honkai Beasts, but Lieutenant General Spencer dared not underestimate this Judgment Dragon.

　Just as the overwhelming barrage of artillery fire landed on the Honkai Beast swarm, countless anti-air missiles enhanced with Honkai energy locked onto Benares.

　"Roar!"

　Upon sensing the approaching missiles, Benares let out an angry roar.

　Then, it flapped its enormous wings that blotted out the sky, releasing intense Honkai energy that transformed into a thundercloud surrounding itself.
