After the Moth to Fire Council sealed away the Flame-Chaser Project, Mobius prepared to leave the organization and move her research institute to Australia. She invited Danzhu and Cangxuan to come with her, leaving the twins to decide whether to join her.

• Mei and Mobius completed the Flame-Chaser Project, but the Moth to Fire Council halted further research and sealed it away, citing ethical concerns.
• Mei accepted the council’s decision, while Mobius decided to leave Moth to Fire because it had become an obstacle to her research.
• Mobius and Klein packed the First Research Institute, and Klein used her authority over Mobius’s spectre to stop Danzhu and Cangxuan from fleeing it.

• World leaders agreed to rally Australian resistance forces receiving United Nations aid and attack the institute to reclaim Dr. Mobius.
• Barry received the United Nations' instructions while discussing the resistance organization's next move with Bridget.

Barry and Bridget received orders to attack Mobius's research institute and agreed to feign compliance despite expecting to sacrifice most of their force. Moros learned that resistance groups were converging on Queensland and unleashed his Undead Legions, which ambushed a resistance column near Boulia.

• After crackdowns kept Bridget's unit from returning to Geraldton, Barry blamed himself for the earlier convoy attack and struggled to tell Bridget about the new order.

Moros’s undead armies annihilated resistance forces across Australia, including Bridget’s, before they could assemble, while the generals at United Nations Special Staff Headquarters faced the consequences of their failed campaign plan. After turning the leaders’ souls into named Soul Crystals and raising the dead as Skeleton Archers, Moros began a broader campaign to destroy every resistance organization on the continent.

• Moros resolved to cleanse Australia of all resistance organizations despite their access to satellite reconnaissance.

Moros rewarded the Australian Continent’s elites for helping purge the resistance, transforming Keen and Margaret into high-tier vampires and granting other elites vampire powers. He then unleashed enormous tornadoes against nearby islands, prompting the rulers behind the resistance to order Moth to Fire to handle the crisis, where Councillor Eugene began an emergency meeting.

• Moros summoned the Australian Continent’s elites to Sydney and transformed Keen and Margaret into high-tier vampires, while granting other elites vampires and transformation daggers.

• The rulers responsible for supporting resistance organizations agreed to have Moth to Fire resolve the tornado crisis.
• Councillor Eugene opened an emergency video conference and urged the Moth to Fire Council to decide how to respond.

Dr. Mei persuaded the Moth to Fire Council to seek the Necromancer’s help in dispersing the approaching Tornado Storms, and the council sent Elysia to contact him. Moros agreed to confront the disaster but revealed that he had caused it, leaving Elysia shocked and struggling to respond.

• Dr. Mei proposed negotiating with the Necromancer after councillors rejected using nuclear weapons to stop the Tornado Storms.
• The council chose Elysia to approach the Necromancer, and she accepted without hesitation.
• Elysia used the Spectre Jar to contact Moros and pleaded with him to help save the people in the storms’ path.
• Moros hesitated before admitting that Storm Bone Ape Hanuman had unleashed the storms on his orders.
• Moros explained that he had created the disaster to make those in power recognize their mistake, and Elysia was shaken by the revelation.

Moros calmed the three Tornado Storms after Elysia asked him to, but warned the Moth to Fire Council that his revenge was not over. He used a ritual curse to kill Jeffrey, the first ruler he targeted, despite the heavy security around his residence.

• Elysia thanked Moros for agreeing to calm the storms, and he told her to warn the Moth to Fire Council that he would still retaliate.
• Moros used Prot.fromAir to weaken Hanuman’s three Tornado Storms, while powerful leaders mobilized troops and supplies to protect themselves.

• Moros completed the Death Curse, and Jeffrey’s phantom vanished from the black crystal sphere.
• Jeffrey felt an invisible force pierce his heart during a banquet and collapsed dead as his guests panicked.

Moros retaliated against the Moth to Fire Council by killing influential figures with curse magic, forcing its leaders to abandon confrontation and seek peace. A high-ranking delegation left for Australia to negotiate with him, while Mobius learned that Jeffrey's death was only the beginning.

• Mobius visited Moros's altar, but he stopped her from approaching because its Death Mana could harm her.
• Moros told Mobius that Jeffrey was dead and warned that everyone involved in the affair would pay; Mobius left the underground space.
• Moros's curses killed ten powerful figures overnight, filling the world's leaders with fear and anger.

• Moros killed another ten figures with a second curse ritual, and the leaders dispatched a high-ranking delegation to Australia to negotiate.

Moros secured control over much of Southeast Asia and visited Jakarta, where Elysia’s presence led him to abandon plans to replenish his soul crystals with local souls.

• Moros took Elysia to a Jakarta hotel banquet, where local elites praised him and awaited the power and status they expected under his rule.
• Moros regarded the territories as expendable colonies because his Demiplane offered a safe refuge from the approaching end of the world.

Moros secured the local elite’s loyalty through a hands-off tax-and-obedience arrangement, then spent a romantic day in Jakarta with Elysia as her doubts about him eased. Meanwhile, the Fifth Herrscher awakened in a remote Mu Continent village, froze its inhabitants, and headed toward Dusk Street, where she encountered Kalpas.

• Moros explained that local leaders could govern themselves if they paid his taxes and obeyed his orders, and they enthusiastically swore loyalty to him.

• After taking revenge, the Herrscher of Ice set out for Dusk Street and unexpectedly encountered Kalpas, who had fled Immer’s homeland.

Kalpas killed the Herrscher of Ice, while Moth to Fire discovered that an unknown force had defeated her and began searching for it. Moros learned of the Council’s response and planned to obtain the Herrscher Core by other means, but Moth to Fire anticipated his interest and guarded its location.

• Kalpas defeated the Herrscher of Ice, and Mark revealed to Kosma that he had sent the soldiers away to give them a chance to live.
• Kevin reported that the Herrscher was already dead and warned that an unknown force had defeated her instantly.
• Moth to Fire’s Council learned that the necromancer had been in Jakarta during the battle and resolved to investigate the unknown force and seek its cooperation.
• Moros instructed Councillor William to negotiate for biological tissue from the Herrscher of Ice while deciding to pursue her Core separately.
• Moros considered infiltrating, stealing, or robbing Moth to Fire to obtain the Core, but the Council anticipated his intentions and kept its location secret.

Moros chose to study the Legendary Spell Avatar of Death while searching for the Herrscher Core of Ice. Elsewhere, Kalpas woke in Apponia’s sanatorium and tried to leave despite his injuries, where caregiver Qi stopped him.

• Moros avoided directly controlling Moth to Fire councillors and relied on his loyal followers to seek the Herrscher Core’s location.
• Moros entered the Graveyard territory and began sorting through Legendary Spell tomes to choose what to study before the Herrscher of the End arrived.
• Moros selected Avatar of Death, a Legendary Spell based on Arantir’s innate ability, and began researching it.
• Kalpas woke in Apponia’s sanatorium after defeating the Herrscher of Ice and tried to leave despite his severe injuries.
• Qi, a caregiver at the sanatorium, warned Kalpas not to move around, but Kalpas demanded to know where he was.

Kalpas stayed at Apponia’s sanatorium, where she spoke with him and earned his blunt request to be left alone. Meanwhile, Moros’s wraiths stole tissue samples from Kalpas’s bandages, but a gentle voice reached them as they prepared to leave.

• Qi told Kalpas that Apponia’s sanatorium was safe, but Kalpas ignored his help and headed toward the elevator until Qi followed him.
• Apponia met Kalpas beside his fire and asked whether he needed help; he agreed, then learned to say, “Get lost.”
• Moros ordered wraiths to track Kalpas so he could obtain a genetic sample before Kalpas became a Flame-Chaser Warrior.
• The wraiths infiltrated the sanatorium, took tissue samples from Kalpas’s discarded bandages, and returned toward their base.
• As Moros prepared to withdraw his attention from the wraiths, a gentle female voice quietly reached them.

Moros met Apponia through a wraith and discovered that his presence could disrupt the threads of fate she saw, though he refused to explain how. He arranged discreet funding for her sanatorium, then returned to his research into Avatar of Death.

• Apponia stopped Moros’s wraiths at the sanatorium and asked why their threads of fate were abnormal.
• Moros introduced himself and realized that his power made the wraith’s fate threads change into chaos.
• Apponia pressed Moros for an explanation, but he refused to answer and let the other wraiths leave with Kalpas’s tissue samples.

• Moros returned his attention to researching the Legendary Spell Avatar of Death.

Moros stole the Herrscher Core of Ice from Moth to Fire’s Tokyo research institute and brought it to Vill-V at their secret base. Moth to Fire traced the theft to the necromancer, and its intelligence began escalating the discovery through the organization.

• Keen told Moros that Moth to Fire had hidden the Herrscher Core of Ice in its Tokyo research institute, and Moros decided to retrieve it himself.
• Moros used a wraith’s location and Vill-V’s satellite data to reach the institute, bypass its security, and take the authentic core.
• Moros teleported back to his territory and then traveled to Vill-V’s secret base, where he gave her the core.
• Moth to Fire’s Council ordered an urgent investigation into the missing core, and intelligence personnel identified Moros as the thief.
• Moth to Fire’s technical personnel submitted their findings, and the report was passed upward through the organization.

After Moros seized the Herrscher of Ice Core, humanity’s leaders approved Sea Abyss City and New Atra to protect themselves, leaving the planet in a temporary calm while they prepared for a future conflict. Meanwhile, the vampire community grew to more than a thousand members and began choosing leaders under Beatrice, remaining beneath the notice of both the elites and Moros.

• The Moth to Fire Council reported Moros’s seizure of the Herrscher of Ice Core to humanity’s top decision-makers, who admitted they could not confront him safely.
• Humanity’s elites approved the Sea Abyss City and New Atra projects, hoping the distant facilities would protect them from Moros’s curses.
• Construction drew resources and attention away from the conflict, and the planet entered a temporary peace as Moros researched Avatar of Death.
• The vampire community grew to more than a thousand members through First Embrace and Vampire Transformation Daggers, though elites considered low-rank vampires weak beside enhancement and Flame-Chaser technology.
• The vampires’ leaders, headed by Beatrice, benefited from being overlooked, and the community’s elite members selected several leaders from among their ranks.

Moros completed his research into the Legendary Spell Avatar of Death, reached Level 34, and summoned a powerful Death Dragon to inspect its abilities. He left the chapter marveling at the spell’s strength after finishing its testing.

• Beatrice guided the vampire clan’s leaders in focusing their expansion on the Western European Plains and the Isle of Britain, where they built influence and secretly developed weapons.
• Moros monitored the vampire clan through safeguards in his transformation daggers and a global wraith intelligence network.
• After Mobius joined his camp, Moros committed to personally fighting Divine Apostles during Great Collapses to obtain Herrscher research materials.
• Five months later, Moros completed Avatar of Death research, gained enough experience to reach Level 34, and updated his Hero Panel with the new Legendary Spell.
• Moros traveled outside Graveyard City and summoned the Death Dragon, whose Level 29 attributes and powerful traits impressed him.

Moros refined Gift of the Magic Well potions to secure enough mana for battles against Demigod Rank opponents. After producing 144 bottles, he received an invitation from Vill-V, interrupting his plan to study another Legendary Spell.

• Moros decided to focus on developing mana recovery because his existing potions could not adequately support him in Demigod Rank battles.
• Moros used his control of several Vitality Magic Wells to refine Gift of the Magic Well, a potion that instantly restored 5,000 mana but lasted only one year.
• Moros refined another bottle of Gift of the Magic Well in the Mage Guild's upper-level alchemy laboratory.
• Moros completed twelve sets, totaling 144 bottles, by noon the following day.
• Moros planned to visit the Mage Guild's library, but Vill-V sent him an invitation through magical communication.

Moros spent a romantic evening and morning with Bai Wei, then returned to the Mage Guild determined to grow stronger to protect his happiness. He began studying defensive Legendary Spells and settled on Shelter of the Mother Spider.

• Moros recognized Bai Wei among Vill-V's personalities and accepted her invitation to dinner.
• Moros and Bai Wei shared a quiet dinner at the manor, where she had prepared the meal especially for him.
• Moros and Vill-V spent the morning together, and he later enjoyed a day with each of her personalities.
• Moros returned to the Mage Guild and searched for Legendary Spells that could improve his survivability.
• Moros found the tome for Shelter of the Mother Spider, a spell that summoned the Mother Spider's phantom to protect its caster.

Moros rejected a faith-dependent protective spell and studied Legion's Shelter, dissecting Plague Zombies to understand its mental links and damage transfer. Meanwhile, Mobius began a dangerous Hypermutation Surgery using Shesha's genes, and her condition deteriorated during the operation.

• Moros abandoned Shelter of the Mother Spider because mastering it required faith in Natara, then chose the non-faith-based Legendary Spell Legion's Shelter.
• Moros studied Legion's Shelter's mechanics and vulnerabilities, learning that it transferred damage to linked troops and weakened as his forces dwindled.
• Moros dissected a Plague Zombie to investigate mental links and damage transfer, deepening his necromancy knowledge.
• Mobius prepared to undergo Hypermutation Surgery with Shesha's genes, declined Klein's suggestion to ask Moros for help, and admitted she was gambling on the outcome.
• Mobius's condition sharply worsened midway through the surgery, and Klein began emergency measures as Danzhu reported her falling heart rate.

Mobius survived Hypermutation Surgery and became a Flame-Chaser Warrior, prompting Moros to postpone the procedure for himself and Vill-V to focus on her mechanical research. After Vill-V activated the first Armed Doll program, the Sixth Great Collapse began in an isolated American town secretly controlled by an evil-god cult.

• Klein, Danzhu, and Cangxuan believed Mobius had died during surgery, but Mobius revived and revealed that she could return from death.
• Mobius told Moros that her Hypermutation Surgery had succeeded, and he considered undergoing the procedure before deciding to wait until he broke through the Hero Panel’s limits.
• Vill-V reacted to Mobius’s Gene Ascension by rallying her personalities to advance Mechanical Ascension.
• One month later, Vill-V showed Moros a humanoid machine that he recognized as an Armed Doll.
• The Sixth Great Collapse descended after the Armed Doll program was activated, and the Herrscher of Death appeared in an isolated North American town controlled by a fraudulent evil-god church.

The Herrscher of Death destroyed a town with her authority of Creation and Withering, then advanced toward another city. Moth to Fire sent soldiers to investigate and confront what it believed was a Honkai Beast Legion, while the Herrscher of Death began releasing a stronger black fog against them.

• The Herrscher of Death abandoned Galina, leaving her chained to a ritual pillar as zombie Deadwalkers attacked her.
• The Herrscher of Death spread black fog across a town, killing its residents and animals before riding a Chariot-class Honkai Beast toward the next town.
• The Moth to Fire Council detected the Sixth Herrscher and secretly sent Special Operations Teams to learn the nature of her authority, disguising the mission as a response to a Honkai Beast Tide.
• Moth to Fire's convoy reached the city, where its soldiers established defensive positions as residents evacuated to shelters.
• The Herrscher of Death saw Moth to Fire's defenses and released true Honkai black fog, which began turning living things and buildings to ash.

The Herrscher of Death’s all-corroding black mist overwhelmed Moth to Fire’s defenses and advanced toward the city, while Dr. Mei and the Council debated how to study its powers. The shelters’ walls began to crumble, trapping civilians as they realized Moth to Fire had concealed that they faced a Herrscher.

• Dr. Mei analyzed the black mist’s ability to destroy living tissue, steel, and concrete, and identified it as a likely manifestation of the Sixth Herrscher’s powers.
• Moth to Fire soldiers opened fire on the approaching mist, but their weapons vanished into it and the defensive line was swallowed.
• A drone operator sent his remaining drones into the mist, identified the Herrscher of Death, and died after accusing Moth to Fire of deceiving the soldiers.
• The Council considered Dr. Mei’s plans to investigate the Herrscher, while she accepted the deaths as a sacrifice for the greater good.
• The black mist reached the city’s shelters and rapidly corroded their outer walls, leaving the trapped civilians to condemn Moth to Fire and scramble for escape.
