• Dr. Mei told the Flame-Chaser Warriors that Honkai incidents were increasing and that the next Herrscher would be born on the Mu Continent.
• Dr. Mei unveiled the Third Divine Key, Seven Thunders of Purity, and explained that its compatible wielder would be selected through a test open to warriors backed by both her and the Moth to Fire Council.
• Kevin asked whether Moth to Fire should evacuate civilians, and Dr. Mei refused because moving them could shift the Herrscher’s arrival and make its attacks harder to contain.
• Vill-V explained to Moros that artificial intelligence and Armed Dolls operated her battleship, and she recounted how Einstein’s Armed Dolls won their freedom before the Council banned further production.

Moros transformed Vill-V’s battleship into the Charon-class Light Frigate, alarming the world’s powers when it entered space. During a lunar expedition with Vill-V, Moros discovered an ancient temple complex on the moon’s far side and sensed a Moth to Fire outpost nearby.

• Moros used a wide-area spell to explore the temple complex and detected a Moth to Fire outpost on its outskirts.

Moros and Vill-V tested their Charon-class Light Frigate by destroying the Remnants of the Apocalypse guarding the Temple Complex on the moon. They reached the ancient ruins, discovered they were at least a hundred thousand years old, and began exploring for clues about an even older civilization.

• The Charon-class Light Frigate detected Remnants of the Apocalypse approaching the Temple Complex, and Moros decided to test the Undead Engine's combat power.

• Moth to Fire sent scientists and Flame-Chaser Warriors into the ruins, where they uncovered a vast trove of knowledge and shared their discoveries with traditional powers.

As nations competed to explore the Moon Temple ruins, the costs worsened public hardships and governments closed their borders to refugees. Lena led refugees through a shipwreck scare to reach the Mu Continent, where its restrictive admission policy crushed their hopes and tensions grew in the camp.

• Major powers pursued the Moon Temple ruins through expeditions, technology, and negotiations, while Moth to Fire profited from controlling access and sharing research.
• Governments redirected resources toward space exploration and military needs, cut public spending, and stopped accepting or aiding refugees.
• Lena traveled toward the Mu Continent aboard a battered smuggling vessel carrying refugees displaced by Honkai disasters.
• When the ship began taking on water, Lena rallied the refugees to seal the leak and stabilize the vessel.
• After the refugees reached the Mu Continent, the Coast Guard announced strict screening and few available admissions, leaving Lena and the others in despair.
• Scarce resources and fear intensified divisions among refugees in the temporary camp.

Lena’s refugee camp was consumed by the Ninth Great Collapse, as the Herrscher of Rock descended and overwhelmed Moth to Fire’s forces with gravity. After conventional troops and Flame-Chaser Warriors were defeated, the Herrscher appeared inside Moth to Fire’s artillery positions and unleashed a 500G gravitational attack.

• The Herrscher of Rock unleashed a gravitational attack reaching 500G, leaving the soldiers there unable to resist.

Moros learned that the Ninth Herrscher had descended and chose to let it weaken humanity, while Moth to Fire headquarters came under attack from the Herrscher of Rock’s Honkai Beast Legion. Kevin, Kalpas, Elysia, and the Floating Fleet resisted the assault as Moros arrived, convinced they would defeat the Judgment-class Honkai Beast.

• The Collapse Energy detection system in New Zealand’s North Island warned Canberra, and Moros ordered Keen and Margaret to activate his emergency response plan.
• Moros decided not to defeat the Ninth Herrscher immediately, hoping its attack would weaken human civilization and benefit him afterward.
• The Herrscher of Rock drew Moth to Fire’s forces away from its headquarters while a Judgment-class Honkai Beast led a concealed legion in a surprise assault.

• The Judgment-class Honkai Beast entered the battle and used gravity to disrupt the fighters and drag some battleships toward the ground.
• Moros learned of the attack through his intelligence network and communication artifacts, opened a Demiplane passage to headquarters, and arrived as he judged Kevin and the others would win.

Moros helped Kevin defeat the Ninth Herrscher’s Judgment-class Honkai Beast, then joined Elysia and the Flame-Chasers in destroying the remaining Honkai Beasts and formally met Kevin, Su, and Kalpas. Meanwhile, the Moth to Fire Council turned against Moros over his taking the beast’s corpse, while Dr. Mei recognized that the councillors were using the incident to pressure her.

• Kevin unleashed the Third Divine Key against the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, and Moros finished it with fireballs before storing its corpse in his Storage Ring.
• After the beast’s death threw the Honkai Beast army into chaos, Moros crossed the battlefield to reunite with Elysia.
• At Elysia’s request, Moros used Eldritch Arrow to annihilate the remaining Honkai Beasts and end the battle.
• Elysia introduced Moros to Kevin, Su, Kalpas, and the other Flame-Chasers, and Kalpas challenged him to spar before Elysia calmed the exchange.
• Councillors Eugene and Wang led calls for the Moth to Fire Council to punish Moros for taking the beast’s corpse, while Dr. Mei stayed silent and saw their political motive.

After the Herrscher of Rock destroyed Moth to Fire’s conventional forces and began using the planet’s gravity to sink Mu Continent, Elysia persuaded Moros not to aid her. Moros arrived aboard the Mu Continent Floating Battleship, where he met Eden, Dr. Mei, and the Moth to Fire Council as they prepared to discuss the crisis.

• After Moros killed the whale-shaped Judgment-class Honkai Beast, the Herrscher of Rock grieved for her companion, annihilated Moth to Fire’s conventional army, and began drawing on the planet’s power to sink Mu Continent.
• The Moth to Fire Council authorized Dr. Mei to send the remaining Flame-Chaser Warrior units against the Herrscher of Rock, and Kevin prepared to lead his team into battle.
• Elysia invited Moros to join the fight, and he promised her he would neither hold Moth to Fire back nor help the Herrscher of Rock.
• Moros opened a portal to the Mu Continent Floating Battleship and reunited with Eden, who had been evacuated there for her safety.
• Councillor Eugene and the other council members entered the cabin with Dr. Mei, and Eugene asked Moros why he had come aboard and what he expected from Moth to Fire.

Moros rejected the Moth to Fire Council's political overtures before Elysia, Kevin, and the Flame-Chaser Warriors searched the Herrscher of Rock's devastated refugee camp. The Herrscher tested their strength with Honkai Beasts, then fled, leaving the seven Warriors with no clues to its plans.

• Moros told Councillor Eugene he had no demands of the Moth to Fire Council beyond visiting his friend, then used a mental warning to frighten Councillor Wang before Dr. Mei intervened.
• Kevin led Elysia and the Flame-Chaser Warriors to the Mu Continent Refugee Camp Ruins, where Kalpas's fire tornado failed to reveal the missing Herrscher of Rock.
• The Herrscher of Rock watched from above, judged the Flame-Chaser Warriors too dangerous to confront, and created Honkai Beasts to test them.
• Kevin and the others destroyed the Honkai Beasts in under ten minutes, frightening the Herrscher of Rock into fleeing beyond the horizon.
• The seven Flame-Chaser Warriors searched the crater but found no valuable clues about the Herrscher of Rock.

The Flame-Chaser Warriors defeated the Ninth Herrscher, but its final attack left an artificial black hole looming over the battlefield. Dr. Mei prioritized evacuating the survivors and asked Elysia to consult Moros about containing the threat.

• Kevin and the Flame-Chaser Warriors pursued the earthquake’s source, and Elysia spotted the Herrscher of Rock trying to escape.
• The Herrscher of Rock’s five-hundred-G field brought down the Floating Landing Ship and killed its crew.
• Kevin, Kalpas, Sakura, Kosma, Hen, and Elysia broke through the Herrscher’s defenses and fatally wounded it.

• Dr. Mei told Kevin that safe evacuation was the priority and asked Elysia to seek Moros’s advice about restraining or relocating the black hole.
• Elysia contacted Moros through the Wraith Jar, and he recognized the Ninth Herrscher’s creation with interest.

Moros evacuated Elysia, Kevin, and the others from Mu Continent through a teleportation gate before the artificial black hole consumed it. Mu Continent was destroyed, leaving immense human, industrial, and ecological losses that threatened civilization and the planet.

• Moros demanded Elysia's location and opened a teleportation gate to bring her and Kevin's group to the Mu Continent Floating Battleship.
• Moros told Dr. Mei to evacuate the fleet through a large gate to Tasmania Island, and the fleet followed his route.
• Moros showed Elysia, Eden, and the Flame-Chaser Warriors a projection of the artificial black hole consuming Mu Continent.
• Mu Continent was torn apart, with fragments becoming islands while the rest was swallowed, annihilated, or submerged.
• The destruction killed one-sixth of humanity and wiped out most of the world's high-tech industry, while triggering further ecological and geological disasters.

Moros announced that Dr. Einstein had saved a city of Armed Dolls from Mu Continent’s destruction by sending it into the Sea of Quantum, where it survived as a World Bubble. After Elysia and Eden declined his invitation to leave Moth to Fire, Moros returned to his territory, arranged closer research ties between Dr. Mei, Mobius, and Vill-V, and began studying demigod-level necromancy.

• Moros told Elysia, Eden, and the Flame-Chasers that Dr. Einstein had rescued a city into the Sea of Quantum, where it became a World Bubble.
• Dr. Mei navigated the political upheaval in Moth to Fire’s council after Mu Continent’s collapse and worked to strengthen her influence through legitimate means.
• Elysia and Eden declined Moros’s invitation to visit his territory, choosing to stay with Moth to Fire and support their comrades.
• Moros departed after blessing Elysia and Eden, then explained to Mobius and Vill-V how his agreement with Dr. Mei would support joint research into the Ninth Herrscher’s remains and core.
• Mobius and Vill-V showed their affection for Moros, and he later entered the Mage Guild library in Graveyard City to study Secrets of Necromancy: Demigod Chapter.

As the Ninth Great Collapse triggered global disaster and a food crisis, Moth to Fire replaced the United Nations and Dr. Mei consolidated power to reform the organization and expand the Flame-Chaser Warriors. Moros returned to his necromancy research, while Pardofelis accidentally ended up on an operating table for Hypermutation Surgery.

• Moth to Fire took over the United Nations' role and coordinated limited relief as earthquakes, tsunamis, refugee surges, and crop failures drove widespread famine.
• Dr. Mei decided to eliminate opposition to her plans, and Mobius helped her force powerful opponents into experiments that killed them.
• Moros returned to his Mage Guild in the Demiplane to continue researching necromancy and pursue a higher hero level.
• Dr. Mei restructured Moth to Fire, introduced Prometheus 17, and offered benefits to recruit volunteers for Hypermutation Surgery.

• Pardofelis tried to sneak into a Moth to Fire base to find valuable goods but was mistaken for a volunteer and brought to the operating table.

Pardofelis survived Hypermutation Surgery and proved exceptionally effective at covert missions, but refused assassination and was relegated to logistics, which suited her. Meanwhile, Moros advanced necromancy to Demigod Rank and began preparing to turn a Judgment-class Honkai Beast corpse into a new undead behemoth.

• Pardofelis overcame Hypermutation Surgery and became a Flame-Chaser Warrior whose agility far outstripped her strength.
• Pardofelis used her luck and reconnaissance to help complete covert missions, including retrieving a sample from a guarded laboratory.
• Pardofelis refused assassination missions, so the Moth to Fire Council assigned her to logistics.
• Moros raised necromancy to Demigod Rank after months of study and replenished his magic.
• Moros summoned the corpse of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast and ordered materials for an undead transformation array.

Moros transformed the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Mogara into the High Legendary undead behemoth Gravity Bone Whale, gaining a powerful transport and stealth asset for the Undead Legion. Meanwhile, Moth to Fire officials uncovered a surge of advanced weapons on the black market, and Councillor Wang worked with an East Asian power to scheme against Dr. Mei before an approaching Great Collapse.

• Moros used Demigod-rank necromancy and rare materials to transform Mogara into a High Legendary undead behemoth.
• Moros named Mogara Gravity Bone Whale after assessing its gravity, flight, and invisibility abilities.
• Moth to Fire's intelligence department reported an abnormal spread of advanced Collapse Energy weapons, but the Council ordered it to stop investigating.
• Councillor Wang secretly met with an East Asian power's representative and handed over the preliminary intelligence report.
• Councillor Wang warned that Dr. Mei might discover their scheme within a month, and the two men agreed to wait for a Great Collapse before acting.
• Councillor Wang said Dr. Mei's research suggested the next Great Collapse was approaching, prompting the representative to ask for details.
