Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　She knew that she had finally waited for this moment, and all the waiting and anticipation before had been worthwhile.

　The two embraced, their heartbeats mingling together.

　After a while, Moros

　He slowly released the girl from his arms, took her slender hand clad in leather gloves, and gazed tenderly into her eyes.

　"Vilvie, I'm back. Let's spend the rest of our days together."

　Upon hearing this, tears silently streamed down Vilvi's face once again.

　She nodded vigorously, her voice slightly choked with emotion.

　"Yes! I will always be by your side, no matter what happens..."

　Moros interrupted Vervie with a smile, his eyes filled with determination and tenderness.

　"Relax. No matter what happens, as long as we're in this demiplane, I can handle it."

　He held Vervi's hand tightly, as if he wanted to transfer all his strength to her.

　Then, Moros took Velvi's hand and stepped into the magic guild.

Chapter 176 The Third Great Collapse Arrives

　The next day, early in the morning.

　Moros slowly woke up and noticed the soft and smooth touch on his body.

　When he opened his eyes, he saw that Vervi was fast asleep right next to him, with one of her long, shapely, snow-white legs draped around his waist and her fair, lotus-like arms resting on his chest.

　"Woo——"

　Noticing the movement of the person next to her, Velvi let out a cute cry.

　At this moment, Vervi exuded an allure she never usually possessed, with a slight blush on her face and even her smooth shoulders exposed outside the covers had a pinkish hue. Her entire being radiated an astonishing beauty.

　"Go back to sleep, I'll stay here with you."

　Moros gently stroked Vilvie's two-tone hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.

　"Woo——"

　As if she had heard his words, Vilvi simply turned her head slightly, found a more comfortable position in his warm embrace, and then fell into a deep sleep.

　She was exhausted last night, and now she needs enough rest to recover her strength.

　After three leaps in life level, Moros's physical attributes are now comparable to those of an S-rank Valkyrie from Destiny.

　However, before undergoing the fusion warrior surgery, Velvey was just an ordinary human girl.

　Even though Morlos had taken good care of her last night, Velvi was still exhausted.

　Looking at the naked, beautiful girl in his arms, Moros felt an indescribable tenderness welling up in his heart.

　Closing his eyes, quietly feeling Velvi's steady breathing and warm body temperature, a genuine smile appeared on the lips of the necromancer who could effortlessly destroy a city with terrifying destructive magic.

　Just as Morros was embracing Velvi's soft and curvaceous body and falling into a deep sleep once again, the third Great Collapse occurred.

　Canghai City, Airport.

　"Woo——"

　The shrill alarm pierced the tranquil sky and echoed through the empty waiting hall.

　The previously orderly and peaceful atmosphere was instantly shattered, replaced by chaos and unease.

　"Dear passengers, due to an emergency, the airport will be closed immediately. Please remain calm and wait for instructions from our staff..."

　The staff's voices came over the loudspeaker, trying to calm people down.

　However, for those passengers who were about to board the plane, the sudden change filled them with doubt and unease.

　Hua, a young girl who had learned martial arts from her father since childhood, was standing gracefully in the crowd, dressed in an outfit carefully chosen by her friend.

　She looked blankly at the panicked crowd around her, not knowing what had happened.

　Despite some doubts and unease, Hua remained calm and stood still, following the instructions broadcast over the loudspeaker, waiting for further instructions from the staff.

　However, her unease continued to grow.

　Hua felt a nameless fear, as if some great disaster was about to befall him.

　Suddenly, a gasp of surprise came from the crowd near the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the waiting hall.

　"What is that?"

　"A purple shooting star?"

　"Look! Fires have broken out in many places!"

　"..."

　Hua followed the crowd's gaze and, through the glass, saw a shocking scene.

　In the distance, buildings are being engulfed in flames, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.

　On the bustling streets, people ran in panic, trying to escape the sudden disaster.

　What exactly happened...?

　Hua frowned, her unease growing stronger.

　She didn't know what the disaster was about, or how many people it would affect.

　Thinking of his friend who lived in Canghai City, Hua couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

　A sense of unease.

　She immediately took out her phone from her bag, intending to call her friend and ask if she was alright.

　However, at that moment, a blinding purplish-red light suddenly burst forth in the sky, instantly robbing everyone who saw it of their vision.

　Hua was not spared from the intense light, but thanks to her keen reflexes honed from years of martial arts training, she instinctively closed her eyes the moment the light burst forth and quickly raised her arm to shield her vision.

　A few seconds later, as the blinding light gradually dissipated, Hua Cai cautiously opened his eyes.

　Then, the scene before her eyes stunned her instantly.

　Everything that came into view was beyond Hua's previous understanding—in the sky, countless huge holes had appeared out of nowhere, and from these holes, countless purple-white monsters surged out.

　Hua stared blankly at all of this, his heart filled with astonishment and fear.

　She had never seen such a bizarre sight before, and she couldn't understand what was going on.

　"What... exactly happened?"

　Far East, Changkong City, Qianyu Academy.

　This private academy was once a symbol of the local education industry's glory, attracting many wealthy and talented students.

　However, the Thousand Feather Academy is now plunged into an unprecedented silence and panic.

　The once bustling campus has vanished, replaced by a deathly silence and despair.

　The crumbling zombies, with skin as pale as paper and covered in eerie purple patterns, wandered slowly along the academy's paths like ghosts.

　Occasionally, handsome guards wielding scythes would infiltrate the academy, adding to its eerie atmosphere.

　If any surviving students are unfortunately discovered by these zombies and assassins, they will pounce on them like hungry wolves.

　Then, the unlucky guy who is discovered will be beheaded with a scythe or eaten by a horde of zombies.

　After witnessing the horrific scene firsthand, Mei covered her mouth, her face deathly pale, large beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks, gathering on her chin, and finally falling onto the front of her clothes.

　Beside May, Kevin gripped a baseball bat tightly, his face equally gloomy and unpleasant.

　He had greeted the classmate who had been bitten to death not long ago, but now he witnessed such a horrific death. Kevin felt an indescribable sense of horror and fear.

　Mei, I will definitely protect you!

　Kevin reached out to help Mei up, a resolute glint in his eyes.

　"Kevin, what...what are those monsters?"

　Mei's voice trembled. Despite being the daughter of a genius scientist and having once stood on the stage of the Mu Continent Academic Exchange Conference and published her own academic papers, the cruel and imminent death before her eyes still filled her with fear and helplessness.

　"It should be something like a zombie."

　Trying to remain calm, Kevin gripped Mei's hand tightly.

　Feeling the soft touch of his palm and catching a glimpse of the panic on his beloved's face, Kevin felt a surge of courage welling up within him.

　"Mei, let's find a safe place to hide and wait for rescue or look for a chance to escape."

　"Ok!"

　Nodding, May agreed with Kevin's assessment.

Chapter 177 Discussion of the Firemoth Council

　The tragedies that unfolded in Canghai City and Changkong City are merely a small microcosm of the massive cataclysm sweeping across East Asia.

　Unlike the previous two major collapses that struck the Mu Continent, this time, the major collapse occurred in East Asia, with Changkong City in the far east as its core.

　Furthermore, unlike the first and second Great Collapses, this Collapse disaster, which the United Nations named the "Third Great Collapse," has a far wider impact than the previous two Great Collapses.

　Canghai City, Changkong City, Osaka City...

　Tokyo, Seoul, Pyongyang...

　No one was spared; the entire East Asian region was shrouded in the shadow of the Third Great Collapse.

　It was precisely because the scope of this massive collapse was so far-reaching and the number of people affected was so large that the Moth of Fire had to abandon its original strategy of concealing the collapse from the public eye.

　After heated debate, those in power at the top of the pyramid of human society had no choice but to publicly acknowledge the collapse of their existence.

　To alleviate public panic, they even made some Honkai-related information available for public access.

　At the same time, the Moth Chaser, a UN-affiliated organization dedicated to combating Honkai, was also brought to the forefront, becoming a shield for these predators.

　This is also one of the main reasons why the fire-chasing moth has such a bad reputation.

　Although the Moths of Fire are not exactly clean, their reputation wouldn't be so bad that it would stop a child from crying if it weren't for the encouragement of those in power.

　However, that's all for the future. For the Flame Chaser right now, the most important thing is to deal with the Herrschers who descended with the Great Collapse and end this war that has taken away everything.

　The collapse of countless lives.

　This is the inescapable mission of the moths chasing the flame, and it is also the meaning of this organization's existence.

　A person's reputation depends on his or her enemies.

　It was precisely because of the terrifying destructive power of those repeated cataclysmic collapses that the Fire-Chasing Moth gradually transformed from an international organization under the United Nations into the supreme authority that ultimately replaced the United Nations in ruling human society.

　Getting back to the main point, by this time, human society, having experienced two major collapses, had a relatively clear understanding of the ultimate form of this catastrophic event.

　The members of the Moth Chaser Council have reached a clear and unambiguous consensus—the Third Herrscher must be annihilated.

　This is certainly not easy.

　Looking back at the two previous major collapses, the power displayed by the two Herrschers who descended still lingers in the hearts of the council members.

　The First Lawrence, the Lawrence of Reason, possesses power sufficient to severely damage the regular army of the Mu Continent.

　Nearly ten fighter squadrons and three armored armies were wiped out in the battle to annihilate the First Herrscher.

　The Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, possesses terrifying combat power.

　This divine messenger not only drove the arrogant Mu Continent regime to the brink of collapse, forcing it to risk its global dominance by seeking help from other nations on the planet, but also withstood multiple nuclear bombings, casting a shadow of ruin over several Mu Continent cities.

　Ultimately, if it weren't for the enormous price paid to get the necromancer involved, who knows what terrible things the Second Herrscher might have done.

　Therefore, the members of the Firemoth Council all felt extremely troubled by the operation to annihilate the Third Herrscher who descended with the Third Great Collapse.

　However, the members of parliament were very clear that, as an organization, the Moths of Flame had to rise to the challenge, no matter how difficult the Third Herrscher was.

　Mu Continent, Moth Chasing Fire Headquarters, Conference Room.

　"Everyone, please share your thoughts."

　By tapping the microphone in front of him, Congressman Eugene, who was chairing the meeting, broke the silence.

　Behind him was Councilor Eugene of the Mu Continent, the most influential member of the Moth Chaser Council, making it perfectly reasonable for him to chair the high-level meeting.

　"I think we might be able to send a small elite force to test the power of the Third Herrscher first."
