Passing Ace Soldier

Hua heard that he was an Ace Soldier, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

"That Herrscher is our captain. Could you..."

"Are you really expecting a Herrscher to regain human consciousness?" Huang Hao interrupted before Hua could finish. "I heard you used to follow Kevin around. Didn't you see the Herrscher of Death back then?"

The last of Hua's hope vanished as she could only watch helplessly as her captain left... Wait, left?

Why hadn't her captain, after becoming a Herrscher, attacked them?

Hua excitedly pointed and said, "Look, Captain still has his consciousness! He still has his consciousness!"

Huang Hao was also puzzled. Why had the Herrscher of Flame stopped attacking them?

"Maybe she can recover in the future. What a pity that she can't now, and we can't afford to wait that long." Huang Hao did not want to discourage Hua, but he still said it aloud.

"Why..." Hua began crying again after hearing that.

Huang Hao panicked. He couldn't stand seeing other people cry. "Hey, don't cry. At least your captain still has some sense, doesn't she? And I can give it a try, too."

Hua: "Thank you. I understand that Captain isn't coming back, but I still want to ask her why she didn't attack us just now."

Seeing her cry while speaking with such determination, Huang Hao felt a headache coming on. "I said I could bring your captain back. I wasn't just fooling you."

Hua: "Really!"

Huang Hao: "Really."

Hua: "How do we save her?"

Huang Hao: "Kill her."

Hua: "..."

Seeing Hua's expression suddenly change, Huang Hao hurriedly added, "If that really won't do, we can wait for an angel to save her."

"I want to kill you."

"I'm telling the truth. Besides, I'm an Ace Soldier. You can't beat me."

Hua fell silent. Seeing this, Huang Hao said, "What's done is done. There's no need to say more. Forget about going to see your captain. You could easily be wiped out like a bug. Join another squad and search for civilians. Leave the rest to me."

With that, Huang Hao charged toward the Herrscher of Flame.

Meanwhile, on the Moth to the Flame's side, the higher-ups still had not realized how serious this Honkai was, so the Fusion Warriors plan had yet to begin.

It was only after Himiko became the Herrscher of Flame and turned all of Australia into a sea of fire that they ordered its execution.

Following the original storyline, Kevin became a Fusion Warrior.

The scene shifted back to Huang Hao's perspective.

Huang Hao and the Herrscher of Flame had only exchanged blows once, so Amaterasu had not locked onto the target.

That was right—he had lost her again.

Huang Hao sat amid the ruins of the city and began to ponder.

"An'er, can you locate the Herrscher based on Honkai Energy?" Huang Hao asked Angela, who was floating in the empty space.

Angela immediately replied, "The Herrscher of Flame is simply releasing energy to destroy the city, so this entire area is filled with the Herrscher of Flame's energy. We'll only have a chance to find her if she launches a large-scale attack."

Huang Hao: "All right. Then let's begin your plan first."

Angela asked in confusion, "Father, what plan do I have?"

Huang Hao: "Have you forgotten the Amaterasu we set up earlier?"

Angela: "I haven't."

"What about the people in the space?"

"They're the same as before. I knocked them out."

"An'er, wake them up again, then use Amaterasu. Add some special effects and tell them you're an angel who came to save them."

"?" Angela was confused, but she did as instructed.

Angela turned toward the fallen people and flew into the air, retracting the white flames she had used to control them.

(Although Angela's power belonged to Huang Hao, it was not as if a portion of Huang Hao's power had been split off and given to her. Rather, the Imaginary Tree adjusted the energy according to what Huang Hao could currently withstand, based on the energy Angela granted him. Don't ask why it could change colors. Does the Imaginary Tree even need to make sense?)

The people stood up. Seeing Angela flying in the sky in casual clothes, then looking at themselves unharmed, they cheered, "Look! The angel rumored to have come from the Herrscher of Death's side is real! We're saved!"

"An angel! Thank you for your sacrifice!"

"Beautiful angel, is there anything we can do for you?"

Angela looked at the noisy people below and sent Huang Hao a message: "Father, I woke them up. They already think I'm an angel. What's the next step?"

Huang Hao: "Establish a religion, write down the text, and record this moment."

"Why do we have to do that?"

"For the convenience of future civilization."
