After the Ocean Miracle reached Quanzhou Port, Moros gave Elysia and Eden Spectre Jars and arranged for all passengers to leave so their connection to him would not stand out.

• The Ocean Miracle continued to Quanzhou Port after its captain repaired the radio and consulted the cruise company.
• Moros gave Elysia and Eden Spectre Jars before they prepared to leave the ship.

After leaving Quanzhou Port, Moros returned to the Graveyard territory and resumed studying necromancy while the first Great Collapse struck a city on Mu Continent. The First Herrscher, Herrscher of Reason, emerged amid the disaster, but Mu Continent’s rapid military response disrupted its preparations and threatened to overwhelm its limited ability to create weapons.

• Moros reached an agreement with Quanzhou Port’s authorities, left the city, and evaded the regime’s pursuit with Illusion Magic and Spatial Teleportation.

• The First Herrscher’s preparations were disrupted by Mu Continent’s rapid mobilization, while its ability to create weapons remained limited by its Collapse Energy supply.

The Herrscher of Reason’s First Great Collapse ended when Mu Continent overwhelmed it with military forces, though the battle left the continent with devastating losses and spurred worldwide research into Collapse Energy. Two years later, Moros returned to Fuyuan City and prepared to confront the agency restricting Eden’s artistic pursuits.

• The Herrscher of Reason lost air superiority and was defeated by Mu Continent’s forces after its weapons and Collapse Energy were depleted, while the fighting destroyed a city and cost Mu Continent thousands of aircraft and armored vehicles.
• News of the First Great Collapse leaked to national powers, prompting a surge in Collapse Energy research and military production, while Moth to Fire gained independent armed forces.

Moros offered Fuyuan City's leaders the chance to become vampires in exchange for their support, but they secretly agreed to hedge their bets between him and the Mu Continent. After learning of their plan, Moros reduced the quality of the transformation ritual he intended to give them.

• Moros met with Fuyuan City's mayor and influential family leaders, presenting himself as a potential partner and offering each of them a Vampire Transformation Ritual.
• The mayor accepted Moros's offer, and the other leaders followed, drawn by the promise of immortality and wary of his strength.
• After Moros left, the leaders debated whether to commit to him and decided to publicly show loyalty to both Moros and the Mu Continent while delaying a final choice.
• Moros learned of their decision through a wraith he had left behind and chose not to intervene because he had already secured Eden's protection.
• Moros lowered the grade of the Vampire Transformation Ritual he planned to provide after realizing the leaders would be wary of becoming vampires under his control.

Moros used the first Vampire Transformation Ritual to secure the cooperation and resources of Fuyuan City's elites, then acquired six old 155MM Howitzers for his Undead Legion to test. The chapter ended with the author announcing the book’s premium release and update schedule.

• The author announced the book was going premium, promised extra chapters and two daily updates, and pledged to finish Moros's story.

Moros acquired Mu Continent 155MM Howitzers, trained Skeleton Archers to operate them, and added the guns to the Blacksmith’s products while treating them as a temporary long-range weapon. He began studying the Mind Control spell as Eden’s music career advanced, while the chapter left the coming Collapse as an approaching threat.

• Moros accepted six 155MM Howitzers from Fuyuan City’s powerful figures and trained Skeleton Archers to tow, deploy, and fire them.

• Moros decided to use the howitzers mainly as oversized Rune Ballistae rather than integrate them into complex Undead Legion tactics.
• Moros studied the third-tier Dark Magic spell Mind Control in the Mage Guild library, knowing that spell mastery would be necessary to advance beyond the Hero Panel’s level limit.

Moros accepted Elysia’s invitation to attend Eden’s solo concert and invited Elysia to visit his Demiplane, while Eden declined because of her schedule. After their conversation, Moros flew toward a Graveyard Military Outpost to recruit creatures, as reports from Xinke City foreshadowed a growing Honkai threat.

Moros expanded his undead army in the Demiplane and transformed his recruited units at the Netherworld Shrine just as a Honkai disaster overwhelmed Xinke City. The institute’s defenders lost their outer line and called on their vampire test subjects, while Moros sensed that several vampires he had transformed had disappeared as he traveled to Fuyuan City.

• Moros recruited four Death Knights and led them through the Demiplane’s unit nests to gather a large mixed-race army.
• Moros returned to Graveyard City and used the Netherworld Shrine to transform the non-undead units into undead, including Bone Dragons transformed from Green Dragons.

• The institute’s commander ordered the vampire test subjects sent into battle, while Moros opened a passage to Fuyuan City and noticed that several transformed vampires had disappeared.

Moros confronted the Honkai forces in Xinke City with his Undead Legion, using Meteor Shower to devastate their ranks before preparing Curse of the Underworld. As the wraiths fought the flying Honkai Beasts, the Archliches began combining their magic into Death Cloud.

• Moros traced the deaths of three Childe-class vampires to a Honkai outbreak in Xinke City and summoned part of his Undead Legion to fight it.

• The Archlich Mage Corps began gathering Death Mana to cast Death Cloud.

After Moros annihilated the Honkai Legion and survivors at Xinke City with Curse of the Underworld, he began raising the dead as an undead army. The Pre-Collapse rulers grew wary of his power, and the Moth to Fire Council considered how to respond, ending with a proposal to contact and recruit him.

• Moros used Death Cloud to weaken the Honkai Legion, then unleashed Curse of the Underworld and erased the Honkai Beasts, Honkai Zombies, and survivors across much of Xinke City.
• Moros discovered that necromancy could transform Honkai Beast and Honkai Zombie corpses into undead troops.
• The Pre-Collapse rulers watched the battle, abandoned plans to arrest Moros after seeing his power, and turned to Moth to Fire for a response.
• Councillor Eugene told the Moth to Fire Council that Mu Continent would not pay the heavy cost of trying to eliminate Moros as it had against the Herrscher of Reason.
• Councillor Vincent proposed contacting Moros and exploring whether he could be brought into Moth to Fire.

Moth to Fire’s Council rejected Mobius’s offer to contact Moros and instead sent other envoys to Fuyuan City. Mobius defied the council and traveled with Klein toward Eden’s concert, while Moros rendered the envoys mindless upon their arrival at his hotel.

Moros rejected Moth to Fire’s attempt to recruit him, settled the Xinke City incident, and traveled by Spectral Dragon to the Far East. In Osaka, he reunited with Elysia and went with her to Eden’s concert, while keeping his deeper feelings for her to himself.

• Moros used Mind Control magic to humiliate Moth to Fire’s agents and made clear that he would not join the organization.
• Moros placated Fuyuan City’s elites with two Vampire Transformation Ritual slots, and they let the Xinke City incident be dismissed.
• Moros summoned a Spectral Dragon and rode it openly to the Far East, prompting the nations along his route to avoid provoking him.

Eden’s Osaka Dome concert was a major success, and Moros and Elysia watched proudly from the audience. After the celebration, Moros met Dr. Mobius at the Conrad Hotel and asked her whether vampires or liches were better suited for humans seeking to extend their lives.
