Chapter Summaries

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 copied the artillery crews’ memories, and the Blacksmith analyzed the howitzer template; he ordered eighteen more guns and formed a skeleton artillery battalion.

• Eden began building a classical music career with XX Entertainment Company and earned widespread praise within a few months.

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.

• 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.

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.

• Councillor Vincent proposed recruiting Moros, but the councillors avoided serving as envoys and agreed to seek volunteers within Moth to Fire.

• Moros finished crafting ten Vampire Transformation Daggers, brought them from Osaka City to Fuyuan City, and arranged to sell them at auction.
• Fuyuan City's elderly elites gathered at a luxury hotel, where Moros offered the daggers through bidding that accepted both cash and physical assets.
• The first dagger sold for fifteen billion Mu Continent Currency, two African iron mines, and several South American Gem Mines.
• The winning elite stabbed the dagger into his heart and transformed from a frail old man into a vigorous, youthful vampire.
• The other elites witnessed the transformation and recognized that the nine remaining daggers were worth even more.

A dutiful son’s report prompted the United Nations to send Moth to Fire to stop Moros’s Vampire Transformation Dagger auction, but Moros killed the envoy and ordered the bidding to continue. The powerful attendees remained desperate for immortality, and Moros prepared to profit from their resolve.

• A Fuyuan City energy magnate’s heir reported his father’s plan to become a vampire to the United Nations, hoping to block his father from gaining immortality and keeping control of the family.
