After a year of magical study, Moros mastered several disciplines and answered Vill-V’s call to witness her new Floating Battleship take flight. Meanwhile, Mobius presented a new enhancement surgery to the Moth to Fire Council, where her views on changing humanity drew Councillor Vincent’s concern.

• Moros mastered the universal fifth-level Battle Spells except Armageddon, learned witchcraft, Destruction Magic, and Summoning Magic, and increased his Knowledge attribute.

• Mobius presented the First Research Institute’s new enhancement surgery, which promised longer life and youth alongside improved physical abilities.
• Councillor Vincent questioned whether Mobius’s surgery altered humanity’s essence, and Mobius replied that humanity need not cling to one form.

Councillor Vincent exposed Mobius’s connection to Moros and helped the Moth to Fire Council agree to cut funding for the First Research Institute. Moros chose not to intervene unless Mobius asked for help, while New Zealand’s powerful elites continued to benefit from the authority he had granted them.

• Councillor Vincent condemned Mobius’s enhancement research, then presented evidence linking her to Moros to the Moth to Fire Council.

As New Zealand’s dignitaries exploited the people and turned Stewart Island into a haven for abuse, Wendy was imprisoned and enslaved there, awakening as the Fourth Herrscher. During the Great Collapse, she began taking revenge on the island’s dignitaries, whose shelter faced her overwhelming Honkai forces.

• New Zealand’s dignitaries crushed a major uprising with Undead Troops and intensified their exploitation of civilians, while Moros ignored their crimes.
• A dignitary seized Wendy’s family property, had her imprisoned, and sent her to Stewart Island as his slave, where she endured torture and abuse.
• Wendy’s rage drew the Cocoon of Finality’s attention, and she accepted her Herrscher persona, becoming the Herrscher of Wind.
• The Great Collapse struck Stewart Island as dignitaries from around the world sheltered underground, believing rescue would arrive.
• Wendy unleashed catastrophic winds and led a formidable Honkai Beast Legion, including hundreds of Emperor-class beasts and a Judgment-class beast, toward the shelter.

The Herrscher of Wind destroyed the Stewart Island shelter and began exacting revenge on the dignitaries who had harmed Wendy. Meanwhile, Moth to Fire debated how to respond to the Fourth Great Collapse, but its leaders could not send troops into New Zealand without Moros's permission.

• The Herrscher of Wind tore apart the Stewart Island shelter and sent Honkai Beasts inside to kill the fleeing dignitaries.
• The Herrscher of Wind recognized the shelter's owner and the dignitary who had seized Wendy's family's property, then ordered the Beasts to torment them.
• Moth to Fire's council recognized that Moros's expulsion orders left it without bases in Australia or New Zealand, and crossing into New Zealand without authorization could provoke war.
• At Moth to Fire headquarters, Councillor Eugene and Councillor Ingrid urged the organization to act against the Fourth Herrscher to preserve its standing.
• Councillor Alberto pointed out that Moth to Fire could not dispatch troops to New Zealand without authorization, leaving the council's central problem unresolved.

Dr. Mei persuaded the Moth to Fire Council to send an envoy to seek cooperation with Moros against the Herrscher of Wind. Moros left Vill-V to confront the threat, while Vill-V redirected her floating battleship toward Stewart Island; after hearing Moth to Fire’s proposal, Moros dismissed the organization contemptuously.

Moros confronted the Herrscher of Wind after her storm destroyed Invercargill and killed its residents, unleashing Armageddon against her Honkai Beast Legion. As the spell devastated the legion, the Herrscher located Moros and began forming a tornado, but the Undead Legion opened fire with heavy artillery from long range.

• Moros assigned Moth to Fire the evacuation of cities the Herrscher of Wind might target, and Kevin's Second Team was among the teams sent to Australia and New Zealand.

• The Herrscher of Wind found Moros and began raising a massive tornado, but the Undead Legion fired 480 heavy self-propelled artillery pieces and 24 super-heavy guns at her position.

The Herrscher of Wind fought Moros and the Undead Legion, but his spells overwhelmed her and she died unleashing a Level 12 Tornado Storm. Moros survived and realized the storm was meant to devastate all of New Zealand, while her Herrscher Core was swept away in its winds.

• The Herrscher of Wind evaded the Undead Legion's artillery and flew toward Moros, intending to eliminate him.
• Moros and the Archlich Mage Corps cast Inward Burst, gravely wounding the Herrscher of Wind, but she accelerated toward him to prevent another spell.
• Moros rode a Spectral Dragon and intercepted the Herrscher of Wind's wind blades with Battle Spells before striking her with another Inward Burst.

• Moros emerged from the undead soldiers' protection and realized the storm was aimed at all of New Zealand, not at him.

After Moros killed the Herrscher of Wind, her final storm devastated South Island as he tried to weaken it with Prot.fromAir. Vill-V organized Christchurch’s evacuation, while the city’s resistance leaders chose to flee among the civilians, leaving the green-haired, orange-eyed boy and other young members divided over the decision.

• The Herrscher of Wind’s final Tornado Storm swept across South Island, destroying towns and killing civilians as Moros repeatedly cast Prot.fromAir to weaken it.
• Vill-V learned of Moros’s victory and the storm, then redirected her Floating Battleship to Christchurch to evacuate residents along its path.
• Vill-V sent evacuation orders to Christchurch’s rulers, who rapidly organized the city’s evacuation as her ship arrived overhead.
• Resistance members refused to trust the rulers’ evacuation order, but Vill-V’s Floating Battleship discouraged civilians from opposing it.
• The resistance leaders decided to blend into the evacuating crowds and leave the city, while young members fiercely argued against abandoning their comrades.
• A green-haired, orange-eyed boy who had once acted as a vigilante watched the dispute, recalling how resistance members had saved him and given him a cause.

Kosma joined Kevin in confronting the Herrscher of Wind’s storm, which Moros eventually calmed before claiming its Core. Moros overpowered Kevin and Kosma when they refused to surrender it, then warned them there would not be a next time.

• Kosma risked his life by jumping into the storm to destroy its source, but Kevin rescued him and asked him to help stop the disaster.
• Moros repeatedly cast Prot.fromAir to calm the weakening storm and saw Kevin holding the Herrscher Core beside the wounded Kosma.

• Moros used Mind Control to immobilize Kevin and Kosma and take the Core.
• Moros spared them because of their contributions and warned them not to challenge him again.

Moros recovered the Herrscher Core of Wind and gave it to Vill-V as a gift aboard her Floating Battleship. As Christchurch evacuated, Prime Minister Keen told Moros that the United Nations wanted Moth to Fire to receive the honor of ending the Great Collapse, and Moros asked what they were offering in return.

• After Moros left with the Herrscher Core, Kevin comforted Kosma and invited him to join Moth to Fire.
• Moros arrived in Christchurch and teleported aboard Vill-V's Floating Battleship, where she welcomed him.
• Moros gave Vill-V the sealed Herrscher Core of Wind, and she gratefully accepted it.
• While Christchurch evacuated, Moros stayed with Vill-V until a communication from Prime Minister Keen interrupted them.
• Prime Minister Keen told Moros that the United Nations wanted to cede Moth to Fire the honor of ending the Great Collapse, and Moros asked what price they offered.

Moros negotiated five years of jurisdiction over the Fiji Islands and the Kingdom of Tonga in exchange for letting Moth to Fire claim credit for ending the Fourth Great Collapse. As Moth to Fire expanded with public support, its council pressured Mobius, who began considering a move to Moros’s research base but stayed for the Flame-Chaser Project and asked Klein for help.

• Moros rejected the elites’ initial offer of five years’ jurisdiction over the Fiji Islands and ordered Christchurch’s mayor to continue the evacuation and purge the city’s resistance groups.

• Councillor Vincent investigated Mobius and helped persuade the council to restrict her power and cut the First Research Institute’s funding.

Mobius sent Biological Agents to Moros through Councillor William and Councillor Harry, provoking the Moth to Fire Council to plan retaliation against her. After learning the council had been suppressing Mobius, Moros ordered Prime Minister Keen to arrange a meeting with the United Nations ambassador and warn the United Nations about her.

• Mobius summoned Councillor William and Councillor Harry and ordered them to deliver Biological Agents to Moros without concealing the delivery.
• The councillors’ actions stirred outrage in the Moth to Fire Council, whose members began planning to cut Mobius’s funding, restrict her supplies, and smear her reputation.

• Moros learned that the Moth to Fire Council had been suppressing Mobius and contacted Prime Minister Keen.
• Moros ordered Keen to arrange a meeting with the United Nations ambassador in Canberra and warn the United Nations about Mobius.

Moros secured the withdrawal of the Moth to Fire Council’s suppression of Mobius, while the resulting political shake-up strengthened several councillors. He then began redesigning the Undead Legion’s Collapse Energy war machines with Vill-V, who completed plans for a crewless self-propelled artillery.

• Powerful figures pressured the Moth to Fire Council to stop targeting Mobius, and the councillors withdrew their measures against her.
• Several councillors lost their seats in the political storm, while Eugene, Vincent, and Wang consolidated and expanded their power.
• Mobius realized Moros had prompted the intervention, then shared a playful exchange with Elysia in the laboratory.
• Moros used Biological Agents from Mobius to begin upgrading the Undead Legion’s war machines after their heavy losses against the Herrscher of Wind.
• Moros proposed merging skeletons’ souls with war machines, and Vill-V eagerly took on the design work.
• Vill-V completed blueprints for a redesigned 155MM Collapse Energy Self-Propelled Artillery with its crew compartment and life-support systems removed.

Moros and Vill-V created the first Undead Engine, a self-repairing artillery machine fused with a Skeleton Archer's Soul Fire, and began equipping the Undead Legion with new models. Meanwhile, dignitaries in the Mu Continent met to devise a response to Moros's growing power, leaving their plans unresolved.

• Dignitaries in the Mu Continent gathered secretly to plan a response to Moros after his threats had forced them to warn the Moth to Fire Council.
• An elderly dignitary called for an effective strategy, and another white-haired dignitary agreed with him.

Humanity’s leaders shelved the risky Flame-Chaser Project and instead backed resistance groups in Australia and New Zealand to slow the necromancer’s growth. In Western Australia, Eric delivered arms and supplies to Bridget’s group and learned that the crackdown on resistance fighters had recently intensified.

• Wang proposed the Flame-Chaser Project, but Theodore, Francis, and the other powerful figures ultimately shelved it over the risks.
• Humanity’s rulers decided to incite resistance against the necromancer and smuggle weapons to groups across Australia and New Zealand.
• At Fremantle Port, local powerful figures let ten containers of Honkai Energy weapons pass in exchange for benefits.
• Barry assured Bridget that aid would arrive, and a truck carrying the supplies reached the resistance members waiting in the woods.
• Eric reunited with Barry and Bridget, then heard that Bridget’s group had lost fifteen percent of its members and that more than fifty fighters had recently been hanged in Geraldton.

Bridget accepted United Nations weapons and worked with Barry to plan an attack on a tax convoy bound for the undead wizard. The resistance destroyed the convoy and escaped before wraiths could find them, while Geraldton's elites demanded answers.

• Eric supplied Bridget's resistance with assault rifles, ammunition, machine guns, and rocket launchers in exchange for continued cooperation.
• Barry obtained intelligence that a convoy carrying Geraldton's annual taxes would pass through the resistance's area, and he helped Bridget plan an ambush.

• The resistance fighters fought the convoy's private soldiers and destroyed the vehicles and their cargo.
• Bridget's troops withdrew before wraith reinforcements arrived, and the wraiths failed to track them.
• An officer reported the convoy's destruction to Geraldton's elites, who demanded to know what had happened.

Geraldton’s leaders replaced supplies lost in resistance attacks and launched a brutal campaign that devastated Bridget’s organization, forcing it to flee the region. Meanwhile, Moros focused on magical research and transformed a Judgment-class Honkai Beast into the Legendary Undead Hanuman, leaving him with a powerful new ranged fighter.
