Chapter Summaries

Moros searched the Level 5 Magic Guild library for a Legendary Spell that could counter the Cocoon of Finality’s Authority of Time, while Dr. Mei deciphered the Moon Temple records and learned how the previous human civilization had perished. She added multiple contingency plans to her research schedule and shared the ancient civilization’s history with Moth to Fire, leaving its members to confront the danger facing humanity.

• Moros used the quarter’s tax revenue to ease his financial strain and began searching the Magic Guild library for a way to resist the Authority of Time before the 13th Great Honkai.
• Moros rejected several spells and found a crystal sphere containing the magical research he needed.
• Dr. Mei and Prometheus Seventeen deciphered the Moon Temple records and learned that an earlier human civilization had fallen to the Herrscher of the End after cycles of Honkai and fourteen Herrschers.
• Dr. Mei ordered Prometheus Seventeen to schedule the Kindling Project, Ark Project, and Stigmata Project as preparations for possible defeat.
• Dr. Mei added the Sands of Time Plan, Chimera Project, and Divine Key Project to her research schedule while affirming her hope that humanity could overcome Final Judgment.
• Dr. Mei shared the ancient civilization’s history and Honkai’s threat with Moth to Fire, and some listeners fell into despair before she dismissed one of them.

Dr. Mei coordinated Moth to Fire’s plans against Honkai while Kevin completed the Chimera Project and gained demigod-level strength. As Kevin prepared to duel Kalpas and Vill-V focused on building ships, three months passed and Dr. Mei warned that the Herrscher of Finality was drawing near.

• Dr. Mei secured Moth to Fire’s support for several survival and combat plans, while intending for Vill-V to build the Ark Project ships and the Moonlight Throne carrier.
• Kevin completed the Chimera Project by fusing Honkai Beast factors, gained the title of Brahma, and reached Demigod Rank.
• Kalpas challenged Kevin to a duel, and Dr. Mei approved the fight at an abandoned location so she could collect combat data and avoid conflict with Kalpas.
• Councillor William informed Mobius and Vill-V about the duel; Mobius brought Danzhu to watch, while Vill-V stayed focused on her urgent shipbuilding work.
• Three months passed as Moros, Dr. Mei, and Vill-V pursued their work, and Honkai disasters grew more frequent.
• Dr. Mei concluded that the next Great Collapse was imminent and that the Herrscher of Finality was approaching.

Moros struggled to master Time Distortion Field before the Herrscher of the End arrived, but found a way to gain more time by undertaking a Hero Template Advancement Mission in another world. He joined Elysia and Eden for a lakeside tea party, where they welcomed him and shared pastries they had made.

• Moros made only limited progress mastering Time Distortion Field despite months of study, and worried he might not have one or two years to learn it.
• Moros realized a Hero Template Advancement Mission could send him to a world with a different flow of time, giving him more time to study.
• Moros accepted Elysia and Eden's invitation and traveled through a teleportation gate to their lakeside tea party.
• Elysia and Eden welcomed Moros and led him to a flower-surrounded table laid with tea and pastries.
• Moros admired the setting, tasted a pastry Elysia and Eden had prepared, and savored its sweetness with the tea.

Moros spent a peaceful tea party with Elysia and Eden, then shared an intimate morning with them before visiting Mobius’s laboratory. He learned that Mobius had developed an Artificial Stigma that could let biological life coexist with Collapse Energy.

• Elysia asked Moros to send his undead garrison to protect a town under attack by Honkai Beasts, and he ordered them to deploy.
• Elysia and Eden spent the night with Moros, and he later set aside a week to accompany Vill-V.
• Moros went to Mobius’s research institute and reunited with her in her laboratory.
• Mobius showed Moros her new Artificial Stigma, which could enable biological life and Collapse Energy to coexist.
• Moros praised Mobius’s research and embraced her.

Moros began a Purple Hero Template Advancement Mission and arrived in the Abyss, where he had to survive for at least a year. As a flock of Vrocks descended on him, he remained calm and prepared to face them.

• Moros told Mobius he was leaving for another world, and she wished him a safe return while he promised to bring back local specialties.
• Moros checked his supplies, accepted the Purple Hero Template Advancement Mission, and was transported to the Abyss.
• Moros recognized the blood-red sky and barren terrain as the Plains of a Thousand Vents, the Abyss’s uppermost layer.
• The Hero Panel tasked Moros with surviving in the Abyss for at least a year, warning that his choices and survival time would affect his evaluation.
• A swarm of Vrocks dove toward Moros, who showed no surprise or anger at their attack.

Moros crossed the Abyss, destroying attacking demons and raising their corpses as undead while heading toward Broken Domain Town. After his army’s slow progress left him debating whether to abandon it, a Balor appeared and sent the nearby demons fleeing.

• Moros used Soul Torrent to destroy a flock of Vrocks and a Glabrezu, then stored the Glabrezu’s corpse in his Space Ring.
• Moros traveled across The Plains of a Thousand Vents, defeating demons, collecting their soul fragments, and raising their corpses into undead troops.
• Thirteen hours into the march, Moros’s army had advanced only 120 kilometers, and he considered abandoning the more than ten thousand undead troops to move faster.
• Moros decided he needed the army for protection and support during his year-long stay in The Abyss and his research into Time Distortion Field.
• A Balor approached across the plains, and even the battle-mad Berserker Demons fled from its overwhelming presence.

Moros reached Broken Domain Town after building a vast undead army by defeating demons across the Plains of a Thousand Vents. He entered the city alone to gather intelligence and supplies, then began searching its disorderly streets for a tavern while noticing that its Abyssal Language resembled a regional dialect of the one he knew.

• A fallen Balor triggered Body Incineration Burst, destroying its remaining demon forces, while Moros collected their souls and continued toward Broken Domain Town.
• Moros won hundreds of battles on the journey and expanded his undead forces to more than a million troops, including over fifty thousand mid-tier and high-tier undead.
• On the fourteenth day, Moros reached Broken Domain Town, a comparatively orderly trading hub ruled by the Succubus Sorceress known as the Red Shroud.
• Moros left his enormous undead army outside the city, rode an undead dragon to the walls, dealt with demons attacking travelers at the entrance, and entered the town.
• Moros searched the chaotic streets for a tavern and noticed that the Abyssal Language of Toril World seemed more like a regional dialect of Ashan World's Abyssal Language than a separate language.

Moros gathered information and supplies in Broken Domain Town, then purchased intelligence at Nightmare's Embrace Tavern to help choose a target. After he left with the information, the Succubus Sorceress Red Shroud grew wary of him.

• Moros used necromancy to learn Abyssal and traveled through Broken Domain Town without casting spells.
• Moros took a Fruit of Mana and other goods from a Glabrezu's stall after his Demigod pressure silenced the seller.
• Moros reached Nightmare's Embrace Tavern, which served as the town's authoritative information trading center under Red Shroud's backing.
• Moros paid for food and asked a succubus to sell him information, then described what he needed.
• Moros left the tavern carrying the information he had purchased, while Red Shroud became wary of him.

Moros used intelligence from Nightmare Winding Tavern to choose a remote region on Abyss Layer 406 as a base, then led his growing Undead Legion through a hidden portal to reach it. After the demons attacked the landing force, Moros brought in his main army and began a spell ritual targeting the region’s Lesser Demon Lord.

• Moros bought a detailed map of teleportation points and selected a secluded, resource-rich region on Abyss Layer 406 ruled by a relatively isolated Lesser Demon Lord.
• Delis warned Joanne not to target Moros, explaining that Red Shroud had ordered the tavern not to provoke him because of his million-strong Undead Legion.
• Moros restored the Charon-class Light Frigate and completed his semi-finished troops, then led the army across The Plains of a Thousand Vents while fighting demons along the way.
• Moros recited the incantation that opened the portal to Abyss Layer 406 and sent the Undead Legion through it.
• Demons attacked the arriving undead, and Moros brought the main force and the Charon-class Light Frigate through the portal.
• Moros ordered the undead to eliminate nearby demons and began a ritual aimed at the Lesser Demon Lord who ruled the region.

Moros and the Charon-class Light Frigate ambushed Six-armed Naga Lord Modisti’s Demon Legion, then Moros began weakening Modisti and her surviving demons with Dark Magic. Modisti had broken through the undead defenses and reached the frigate, leaving Moros poised to strike with a Legendary Spell.

• Modisti opened a portal to lead an elite Demon Legion assault, but the Charon-class Light Frigate attacked with its spinal cannon, missiles, and Collapse Energy Fission Bombs.
• Modisti led the surviving demons through the bombardment and charged the frigate while Moros ordered his Undead Troops to delay them.
• Moros sealed the battlefield against teleportation, but Modisti broke through the undead defenses with her demigod strength and enchanted weapons.
• Moros judged Modisti exhausted from the breakthrough and cast Weakness Curse, Law of Delay, Rotting Curse, and other Dark Magic spells at her and the surviving demons.

Moros defeated Six-armed Naga Lord Modisti with an empowered Soul Torrent after her Blade Guard failed. He then began sealing her powerful soul in a prepared Magic Crystal, while the Undead Legion consumed her leaderless Demon Legion.

• Modisti unleashed Blade Storm, devastating both the Demon Legion and the Undead Legion, but Moros’s defenses protected the Charon-class Light Frigate.
• Moros detonated Soul Torrent to stagger Modisti, then cast an Empower Spell-enhanced Soul Torrent fueled by more than ten million Demon Souls.
• Modisti countered with Blade Guard and resisted for several minutes, but the Soul Torrent overwhelmed her and drained her life force.
• With Modisti dead, her Demon Legion collapsed and the Undead Legion swallowed it.
• Moros used a deep-blue Magic Crystal and a spell to forcibly draw Modisti’s powerful soul from her body and began sealing it.

Moros sealed Six-armed Naga Lord Modisti’s soul and watched her forces collapse as rival Lesser Demon Lords moved to seize her territory. After raising the battlefield’s dead, he launched a three-million-strong undead army and began taking control of the 406th Abyss Layer.

• Moros sealed Six-armed Naga Lord Modisti’s soul in a deep-blue Magic Crystal as the Undead Legion finished off her remaining forces.
• The other Lesser Demon Lords learned of Modisti’s death and attacked her territory, while her surviving Demon Warlords abandoned any thought of revenge.
• Moros prepared to compete for Modisti’s former territory, raising the fallen demons as undead soldiers and sending wraiths to monitor the 406th Abyss Layer.
• After two days, Moros led more than three million undead into the territory and routed the Demon Legions fighting over it.
• The rival Lesser Demon Lords avoided confronting Moros, allowing his Undead Legion to sweep across Modisti’s former lands.

Moros established guarded Soul Collection Arrays around the Abyssal Blood Pools in Six-armed Naga Lord Modisti's former territory, turning them into steady sources of souls while he researched Time Distortion Field. His neighbors refrained from challenging him, expecting time to weaken him and planning to claim his lands later.

• Moros occupied the Abyssal Blood Pools and tailored Soul Collection Arrays to capture wandering souls across the surrounding territory.
• Undead Troops guarded the pools and slaughtered Lesser Demons that emerged, steadily replenishing Moros's soul reserves.
• Some Lesser Demons hid inside the pools, but rising River Styx waters eventually forced them out to be killed by the undead.
• The Lesser Demon Lords observed Moros's slaughter without intervening, viewing one another as greater rivals and expecting Moros to decline with time.
• Moros kept his plans to leave The Abyss after his mission secret, unwilling to risk the unpredictable reactions of the Tanar'ri Demons.

After a year in the Abyss, Moros achieved a crude but stable casting of Time Distortion Field before a Hero Panel notification disrupted his experiment and unleashed a devastating time storm. As Moros began rebuilding, the storm wiped out his stationed undead troops, and Lesser Demon Lord Zephyr saw an opportunity to act against him.

• Moros steadily researched Time Distortion Field and learned to cast a rudimentary version with help from spell rituals and the Archlich Mage Corps.
• On the one-year anniversary of entering the Abyss, Moros received a mission-completion notification that disrupted his experiment and sent the spell out of control.
• Moros failed to stabilize the spell, escaped by teleportation, and watched the time storm consume his workshop and spread across more than a hundred kilometers.
• The storm left the region’s temporal environment disturbed for centuries and destroyed every Undead Troop stationed at the temporary workshop.
• Lesser Demon Lord Zephyr learned of Moros’s losses and began to consider exploiting the weakened defenses.

Zefer and four neighboring Lesser Demon Lords invaded Moros’s territory, believing a failed spell experiment had weakened him. Moros counterattacked and lured a Glabrezu Lord into a costly battle, which left the demon army suffering huge losses as the Glabrezu Lord prepared to enter the fight personally.

• Zefer concluded that Moros had been badly weakened and allied with four neighboring Lesser Demon Lords to invade his territory.
• After the demons destroyed Moros’s border patrols, Moros ordered his secretly assembled Undead Troops to attack first and target the invading armies separately.
• Moros led his forces against a Glabrezu Lord, using a Charon-class Light Frigate and the Archlich Mage Corps to devastate the demon ranks.
• Moros let demons teleport into the undead formation, then sent his Death Knight order into battle to draw the Glabrezu Lord’s powerful troops into the fight.
• The Death Knights struggled against Balors, Six-armed Nagas, and other High-tier Demons as Moros withheld his own strength and the Demon Legion suffered more than a million casualties.
• The Glabrezu Lord roared and committed her main force to the battle, while Moros continued trying to draw her into fighting personally.

Moros lured the Glabrezu Lord onto the battlefield, sealed off teleportation, and summoned a level-forty Avatar of Death to fight it. As the battle began, the Glabrezu Lord noticed Moros drinking a potion and focused its attention on the necromancer.

• Moros’s Undead Legion held off the Demon Legion for five hours with support from the Charon-class Light Frigate and the Archlich Mage Corps.
• Furious at the stalemate, the Glabrezu Lord devoured a succubus maid and charged into battle with its Demon Warlords.
• The Glabrezu Lord cut down three Spectral Dragons, evading their breath and destroying them with its sword and spell-like abilities.
• Moros used the Charon-class Light Frigate’s Collapse Energy Ray Cannon to mask his teleportation, then appeared behind the Glabrezu Lord and sealed the battlefield against teleportation.
• Moros instantly cast Avatar of Death, summoning a level-forty Dragon of Death whose Demigod Rank breath forced the Glabrezu Lord to defend itself with a Magical Artifact.
• Moros drank a Gift of the Magic Well potion to replenish his mana, and the Glabrezu Lord spotted him and fixed its attention on the necromancer.

Moros defeated and killed the Glabrezu Lord after the demon’s summoned ally abandoned the battle. He returned to the legion battlefield and annihilated the Demon Legion, while the other Lesser Demon Lords watched without intervening.

• The Glabrezu Lord summoned Lesser Demon Lord Valerion, but Moros immediately attacked him with a storm of spells.
• Unable to escape Moros’s spatial blockade, the Glabrezu Lord fought the Avatar of Death while Moros overwhelmed Valerion.
• The Glabrezu Lord launched a desperate assault on the Dragon of Death, but it swallowed him as Moros weakened him with Dark Magic.
• Moros imprisoned the Glabrezu Lord’s soul in a Magic Crystal, and Valerion dismissed the summoning spell and escaped.
• Moros returned to the legion battlefield and wiped out the Demon Legion, while the other four Lesser Demon Lords, including Zephyr, stayed out of the clash.

After defeating the Glabrezu Demon Lord, Moros faced a pincer attack by two Lesser Demon Lords while other rivals plunged the 406th Abyss Layer into war. He killed the Four-armed Bat Demon Lord and unleashed Soul Torrent against the Balor Lord, who answered the Dragon of Death with Flame Storm.

• Soul Judge Demon Lord Zephyr encountered the Savage Demon Lord and fought him instead of joining forces, while two other Lesser Demon Lords advanced on Moros's weakened Undead Legion.
• Moros prepared to face the Balor Lord and Four-armed Bat Demon Lord, planning to use Soul Torrent and Soul Torrent against them.
• The Glabrezu Demon Lord's death spurred Lesser Demon Lords across the 406th Abyss Layer to attack rivals and compete for territory, while Malcanthet considered the upheaval an opportunity for her sisters to contend for a throne.
• Moros killed the Four-armed Bat Demon Lord and detonated Soul Torrent, sending hundreds of thousands of demons' souls surging across the battlefield and disrupting the Balor Lord.
• The Dragon of Death attacked the off-balance Balor Lord, who unleashed Flame Storm in a desperate counterattack.

Moros defeated the Balor Lord, then pursued the fleeing demons to replenish his soul reserves and advanced with his Undead Legion toward Zephyr. After Zephyr killed the Savage Demon Lord but failed to capture its soul, it learned that Moros’s army had arrived and prepared to face him.

• The Balor Lord struck the Dragon of Death with Implosion, but Moros’s Soul Torrent annihilated the Balor Lord and sent its Demon Legion fleeing.
• Moros ordered his forces to pursue the fleeing demons, replenishing his reserves with more than fifty million souls over three days and nights.
• Moros rejected the prospect of becoming a Demon Lord and marched his restored Undead Legion toward Zephyr and the Savage Demon Lord.
• Moros’s undead swallowed demons that tried to obstruct their advance as the legion moved through The Abyss.
• Zephyr killed the Savage Demon Lord but failed to capture its soul, leaving open the possibility that its enemy could resurrect.
• Zephyr learned that Moros’s Undead Legion had arrived and met the news with anticipation rather than fear.

Moros led the Undead Legion into a fierce battle against Zephyr’s Demon Legion, then joined the fight personally as Zephyr advanced to attack him. Moros evaded Zephyr and summoned the Avatar of Death to intercept him, leaving their duel unresolved.

• Zephyr regrouped his Demon Legion and attacked Moros’s Undead Legion, whose frigate and Archlich Mage Corps bombarded the demons before both armies clashed at close range.
• Berserker Demons fought Reapers while a Spectral Dragon killed many demons with its Death Dragon Breath, then a Quasi-Legendary Tier Glabrezu struck it down before Moros’s frigate killed the Glabrezu with a Collapse Energy Ray.
• Moros handed command of the Charon-class Light Frigate to the Artificial Soul Aggregate, entered the battlefield, and attacked Zephyr with Meteor Shower, Soul Impacts, and Dark Magic.
• Zephyr charged through Moros’s attacks, but Moros flew away and summoned the Dragon of Death, forcing Zephyr to turn and face its Death Dragon Breath.
