Sorry, Himiko

Angela mentioned the concert, and Huang Hao immediately realized something was wrong.

"An'er, I remember the Honkai happened around the time of Eden's concert, right?" Huang Hao asked nervously.

Angela said, "It does seem to have been then."

Huang Hao frowned. "What the hell is this? Does Eden hold a concert every few days? He doesn't mind getting tired, but I'm tired just thinking about it."

Angela whispered, "Actually, it's already been many months."

Huang Hao said, "Oh, forget it. Time's passing too quickly, and I don't care anymore. We'll protect as many civilians as possible. I already made a record during the Herrscher of Ice incident. We have to race against time."

"By the way, can you connect to Mobius now?"

"I can connect to Mobius's machine." Angela nodded.

"Have her give me authority in Moth to the Flame. Anything will do. Preferably, make me a nonexistent squad captain."

Angela said, "Then why don't we just create one? I can already connect to her machine."

Huang Hao said, "...You should have said that earlier. Just to be safe, let's still tell Mobius, in case she deletes it for me."

"Father, are you going to..."

"This time, I won't take you into the space. Because, Angela, you are going to become an angel."

"?"

Meanwhile, when Mobius saw the message Angela had sent, she smiled faintly. "Just as I expected. Since that's the case, I'll give you the reward from last time."

While Huang Hao was searching for Squad 5, he fell into deep thought as he read Angela's reply. (At this point, Angela had already returned to Blank.)

So this woman had already registered me as an Ace Soldier the first time she saw me? Are the higher-ups of Moth to the Flame's brains made of paste?

Huang Hao stared at the message speechlessly. In the end, he could only say, "Forget it. It's a little early, but I can still make use of it. Then, with my current authority, I should be able to..."

Huang Hao then opened his phone.

"Just as I thought. I now know about most of Moth to the Flame's squads. It looks like another large-scale casualty event is coming."

"For now."

At that moment, Squad 5.

Hua thought to herself within the squad, The Sixth Honkai Disaster only eliminated the Herrscher, and its effects still haven't been completely stopped. How did the Seventh Honkai already arrive?

Himiko walked over. "Hua, what are you thinking about? Come on, we still have to carry out the cleanup operation."

That was right. To neutralize the effects of the Herrscher of Death, Himiko had led the squad in a cleanup operation. As the area with the highest concentration of civilians, they could not afford any mistakes. (No mistakes at all—then it immediately blew up.)

Himiko said, "Hua, you're a squad member who follows an Ace Soldier like Kevin. When it matters, you can't let us down."

While Himiko was chatting and laughing with Hua, a squad member ran over and interrupted them. "Reporting, Captain! There's a strange cloud in the sky over there."

Himiko said, "What? Get the equipment out and inspect it."

Himiko waved for everyone to stop, then took out the equipment and observed its readings.

Himiko's expression gradually became one of shock. The equipment showed that the concentration of Honkai Energy was rapidly surging.

She dropped the equipment and shouted at everyone, "Find cover!"

The moment Himiko finished speaking, her expression gradually turned blank.

A voice announcing the situation rang out from the sky, and Squad 5 immediately went on high alert.

Hua immediately did as ordered, taking the opportunity to hide behind the huge boulder beside her.

She knew the captain's order was correct.

The Honkai Energy was reaching a certain concentration. An explosion was about to occur.

All the signs indicated that Europe was the site where the Seventh Honkai would erupt.

Hua had no choice but to stay alert. She had no idea where the Herrscher would suddenly appear.

I hope the captain and my comrades are all right... Hua prayed silently.

However, before she could finish, the sound of an explosion rang out.

Hua's vision was obscured by the dust and sand thrown into the air.

Hua heard her teammates shouting for the captain, along with countless screams.

At that moment, Hua was dumbfounded. The crisis had come too quickly, leaving her at a loss.

After thinking for a moment, Hua flipped out of cover to save the captain.

As the dust settled, Hua raised her gun. But when she saw the scene ahead, her entire body froze.

There were no dead apostles. There were no Honkai Beasts.

The one slaughtering her teammates before her was none other than the captain.

Hua's eyes went blank as she knelt on the ground.

The Herrscher of Flame, Himiko, slaughtered Squad 5 while Hua merely stared blankly from the side.

Everyone in Squad 5 was dead except Hua. At that moment, Himiko walked toward her.

Feeling the intense heat around her, Hua thought, Am I going to die...?

Suddenly, a black flame shot toward the Herrscher of Flame, driving her back and protecting Hua.

"Ah, it looks like I was still too late." Huang Hao slowly emerged from the black fire.

The Herrscher of Flame looked furious and flung a wave of fire at Huang Hao.

"Don't compare your fire with my Amaterasu." Huang Hao released black flames that formed a wall, blocking the attack. Then he turned back to Hua and said, "Why are you crouching here? Waiting to die?"

Hua came to her senses. "Who are you?"

"I'm Ace Soldier Huang Hao."
