Necromancer, But Pre-Collapse Civilization

"Everyone, imagine what kind of impact it would have on our power if we could successfully bring Moros into the Moth to Fire..."

Councillor Vincent's words trailed off, but the councillors in the assembly hall were all intelligent people and quickly grasped the unspoken meaning behind his statement.

If they could bring Moros into the Moth to Fire, it would greatly enhance the organization's strength and influence, thereby significantly elevating the status and power of the councillors themselves.

"That's a good suggestion."

Councillor Eugene greatly praised this idea, but he still pointed out the core problem hidden behind the plan.

"But the key issue is, who is willing and able to represent us, the Moth to Fire, to make contact with Moros?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the assembly hall instantly became tense.

Considering Moros's past behavior patterns and personality traits, the behavioural and psychological experts of the Moth to Fire had already constructed a detailed profile report on him.

This report revealed the vindictive nature of Moros's personality; this most powerful Collapse Energy adapter on record would cruelly retaliate against any offense or attack.

The councillors of the Moth to Fire Council naturally had not forgotten that they had once ordered the California, an attack nuclear submarine, to attempt to sink the large ocean liner Moros was traveling on – the Ocean Miracle.

While this action seemed perfectly fine at the time, at this juncture, it could very well lead to a vengeful Moros taking the opportunity to retaliate against the envoy.

The councillors sitting in the assembly hall were all scions of privileged backgrounds, enjoying affluent lives.

They enjoyed noble status and luxurious lifestyles, and they were not enthusiastic about the idea of risking themselves for the Moth to Fire.

Therefore, after a round of whispering, the councillors of the Moth to Fire Council all made excuses for various reasons, unwilling to undertake this risky mission.

"Everyone, as you know, I've never been good at diplomacy, so don't count on me at a time like this..."

"My expertise is in financial management; I have no experience in this area..."

"Ahem, I think I've caught a cold. Until I recover, I'm not fit to be an envoy..."

"..."

Listening to the increasingly absurd excuses from the councillors, Councillor Eugene couldn't help but frown.

But he also knew that the councillors present were all of similar status and standing, and he couldn't force anyone to undertake a specific task.

Therefore, after glaring at the councillors present, Councillor Eugene turned his gaze to the proposer of this plan – Councillor Vincent.

"Councillor Eugene, we all know Moros has special means of obtaining information. For the sake of the Moth to Fire, none of us is suitable to be the envoy for this contact."

Upon sensing everyone's gaze focused on him, Councillor Vincent quickly adjusted his strategy, giving an answer that neither offended anyone nor temporarily eased the tense atmosphere.

Although Councillor Eugene found Councillor Vincent's excuse reasonable, he still didn't want to let Councillor Vincent off the hook.

Thus, he stared intently into Councillor Vincent's eyes and pressed him with a firm and serious tone.

"Then, Councillor Vincent, tell me, who is suitable to be our envoy?"

"We councillors are definitely out, but those agents aren't suitable either; their status is too low..."

While chuckling, Councillor Vincent quickly reviewed potential candidates in his mind.

Seeing all the councillors' eyes converge on him, Councillor Vincent knew he couldn't get away with it.

"Perhaps we can conduct a comprehensive investigation within the Moth to Fire to find members who are willing to take risks for the greater good."

Although still not entirely satisfied, Councillor Eugene knew he couldn't push any further.

After all, Councillor Vincent had presented a plan.

Even if this plan seemed like a way to shirk responsibility, he couldn't directly deny its feasibility until it had been implemented.

"Alright, Councillor Vincent, we'll do as you say."

Taking his gaze off Councillor Vincent, Councillor Eugene continued.

"However, even if we do this, we still need to prepare for both eventualities..."

First Research Institute, subordinate to the Moth to Fire.

"Klein! This is an opportunity!"

Looking at the announcement that popped up on her smart device, Mobius's lips gradually curved into a meaningful smile.

"Doctor, you're not thinking of becoming the envoy for this mission, are you?"

As Mobius's confidante, Klein naturally understood her doctor's intentions.

Mobius smiled and nodded, turning to Klein, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Klein! You won't object to me, will you?"

Klein's dark circles were very prominent, difficult to hide even with makeup.

Long-term consumption of instant noodles and preserved meats had left her complexion pale, and her light green hair appeared messy and dry.

Despite this, her eyes still conveyed her concern for Mobius.

Klein knew that once the Doctor made up her mind, it was hard to change.

So, she changed her approach to persuade.

"But, Doctor, will they really allow you to make contact with such a dangerous individual?"

"That's a problem, but I can solve it."

Chapter 79: The Serpent and Moth to Fire's Separate Actions

Just as Klein had advised, the Moth to Fire Council rejected Mobius's submitted application without hesitation.

If it were a minor matter, the councillors of the Moth to Fire Council wouldn't mind giving face to the organization's most outstanding researchers.

But upon realizing that Moros possessed special means of gathering information, any councillor of the Moth to Fire Council with a functioning brain would not allow something that could lead to the large-scale leakage of Moth to Fire's secrets to happen.

As one of the very first members of Moth to Fire, even though Mobius didn't wield much political power, she knew far too many secrets about Moth to Fire.

It was precisely because of Mobius's immense value and her esteemed status as an elder of Moth to Fire that the councillors of the Moth to Fire Council's attitude towards her was likely not more severe, but simply rejected her application.

After all, with Mobius's intelligence, she couldn't possibly be unaware of the significant risks her actions would pose to Moth to Fire.

However, the councillors of the Moth to Fire Council clearly still didn't understand Mobius well enough.

If Mobius were someone who would change her mind just because the Moth to Fire Council rejected her, she wouldn't be Mobius.

"Doctor, is this really okay?"

On the transport plane flying to the Far East, Klein watched the green-haired scientist beside her with deep concern.

"Klein, my calculations have never been wrong."

Mobius responded nonchalantly, appearing completely confident in her plan.

"That little white rat, he will definitely appear at Eden's concert."

Although Mobius's specialty was biology, her superhuman intelligence and keen insight allowed her to discern the close connection between Moros and Eden from Moros's movement trajectory and the series of changes in Fuyuan City.

"Doctor!"

Klein's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Even though she was accustomed to Mobius's wilfulness, Klein couldn't accept her doctor deliberately evading the topic this time.

"Don't worry, everything is under control."

Mobius replied calmly.

She was well aware of the consequences her wilful actions would bring.

If nothing else, just for violating the Moth to Fire Council's resolution this time, the research funding for the First Research Institute would definitely be cut in the next period.

"Doctor! No matter what, this is too…"

Before Klein could finish speaking, Mobius interrupted her.

The doctor, known as the "Demon" within Moth to Fire, leaned close to Klein's ear and whispered.

"I say, Klein…"

"W-what?"

"The existence known as [Human], weak and unstable, always swayed by emotions, unable to touch upon truth even until death…"

Mobius's voice seemed to possess a magical quality, drawing people in involuntarily.

Feeling the warm breath near her ear, a hint of blush appeared on Klein's pale face.

"The council's resolution? It has no value at all!"

Mobius's lips curved slightly into a disdainful smile.

In her emerald and pink eyes, disdain and contempt for the councillors of the Moth to Fire Council flickered.

To this scientist who pursued the [Infinite], those so-called resolutions were merely restraints and shackles, unable to impede her pursuit of truth.

"Klein, you must understand me."

Mobius gazed into Klein's eyes, trying to probe her innermost thoughts.

"Right, Klein?"

"Sigh, I understand, Doctor. I will support you."

With a sigh, Klein ultimately chose to support Mobius.

This was not surprising. As Mobius's most trusted assistant and confidante, Klein would always stand by her side, no matter what decision Mobius made.

Their gazes met in the air, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze into eternity.

The Moth to Fire Council would reject Mobius's request without hesitation.

This was because the councillors were well aware of the importance of the confidential information Mobius possessed, and her actions could expose Moth to Fire's secrets.

However, towards those "warriors" who lacked sufficient information but held a certain position, the council would display a completely different attitude.

Not only would the councillors not set any obstacles, but they would also provide various forms of help and support, even vigorously promoting the spirit of sacrifice of these "warriors."

This was easily understandable.

If they could attract a group of cannon fodder willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause of "justice" through simple words, why wouldn't they?

Therefore, with the support of the Moth to Fire Council, these warriors, who voluntarily risked their lives to contact the reportedly difficult-to-deal-with "Collapse Energy adapter," arrived in Fuyuan City in their small transport planes within just half a day.

With the backing of the Mu Continent, the Moth to Fire's intelligence system was highly efficient.

Furthermore, since Moros did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, the Moth to Fire was able to successfully track his movements after he recovered the Undead Legion on the Xinke City battlefield.

Upon landing, these warriors received a warm welcome from the bureaucrats of the Fuyuan City government.

The Level 5 Dark Magic [Curse of the Underworld] cast by Moros not only wiped out all the Honkai Beasts and Shi on the Xinke City battlefield but also mercilessly annihilated all living beings within the spell's range, including the guards and researchers of the Xinke City Collapse Energy Research Institute.

Naturally, the powerful figures of Fuyuan City were extremely displeased with this.

They could clearly see that if Moros had wished, he could have dealt with the Honkai Beasts and Shi on the Xinke City battlefield using other methods that would not have affected their forces.

Under these circumstances, the visitors from the Moth to Fire became the focus of attention for Fuyuan City's elite.

They hoped to leverage the power of the Moth to Fire to pressure Moros, forcing him to provide sufficient compensation for their losses in Xinke City.

With the help of the local powers, the envoys of the Moth to Fire smoothly arrived at the hotel where Moros was staying.

However, what happened next astonished all the powerful figures who were observing the Moth to Fire's envoys through various means.

Without any warning, dozens of impeccably dressed young men suddenly became dazed, only able to utter meaningless babbling sounds.

Level 3 Dark Magic - [Mind Control]!

As a battle spell that Moros had mastered entirely through his own learning, he was naturally able to adjust its effects.

Under Moros's control, the [Mind Control] cast upon the Moth to Fire's envoys this time possessed unprecedented staying power.

As for the specific duration of this battle spell?

Let's just say that before the final meteor falls, these envoys from the Moth to Fire wouldn't be able to escape their current state.

Of course, if a Flame-Chaser Warrior with mental perception abilities intervened, that would be a different matter entirely.
