Although Qian Jie had removed Angela's adjutant position, with Elysia's help, Angela became a captain in name only, with no real power, and was given a place to live not far from Moth to the Flame.

Angela: I could have just lived in the space, why did they arrange a place for me to live?

However, thinking that her Father was still in the space contemplating life, Angela decided to stay here.

Angela blinked to her dorm: one bed, one desk, one window, and a very plain and unadorned prison (not).

Angela didn't bother with anything else and just flopped down, rolling around on the bed.

"According to my memories, the Herrscher of Domination should arrive not long from now. No, I need to prepare quickly. After all, my previous power will cause him to arrive early," Angela thought on the bed. Should I go complete the mission now?

"Forget it. Father didn't say what I needed to do, just asked for a favor and to slack off a bit. It should be fine, right? Father will forgive me..."

And so, while self-reflecting, Angela pulled up her covers and slept soundly.

Meanwhile, Huang Hao in the space wasn't contemplating life, but rather lost in thought.

Huang Hao: "An'er is getting more lively. It really is good over there with them."

"Oh, right. I haven't told An'er what to do yet, have I? After resting for so long, it's time for him to get some exercise." Huang Hao finally realized that saying such cold words could elicit no reaction at all.

The next day...

Angela opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, letting out a yawn. "Ah, so sleepy. I'll sleep a little longer." She lay back down, but then saw a message on her phone. She struggled to get up and take a look, her pupils widening in shock. It was from Huang Hao.

Angela scrambled to get up (though she didn't even lift the covers), to see what her Father had sent her.

"An'er, how are you getting along with my old friends whom I'm not very familiar with? Is there anything that makes you unhappy? If there is, tell me. Oh, and one more thing, I'll put aside the pleasantries for now. I'm a bit troubled right now. I heard the Herrscher of Domination isn't very strong, so I'll leave it to you to handle. I'm tired. I trust you."

Angela looked at the message, feeling like crying but having no tears. Still, she patted her face with both hands to rally herself. "Come on, Angela! Your persona can't collapse. I'm a lady who can handle anything, a machine!"

Angela sprang up, took off the "angel" costume she had been wearing for a long time, changed into her eternally unchanging suit, and blinked back.

Returning to the Moth to the Flame headquarters, the first person Angela sought out was Mobius.

She arrived at the First Research Institute and informed Mobius's assistant before finding Mobius.

Mobius came out, "How is it? Have you decided?"

Angela: "I'm not here for that. It's about the next Herrscher."

Mobius: "But you shouldn't just inform me. After all, I'm just a researcher with no combat power."

Angela: "Your assistant is going to die."

Angela's words were shocking. Klein, Mobius's assistant whom she had just spoken to, also listened intently.

Mobius said coldly, "What, the next Herrscher will come here?"

Angela: "No, they will simply become a Herrscher."

Angela's two sentences stunned everyone three times.

Mobius's expression turned grim, and Klein looked at Mobius nervously.

Angela: "I have other matters to attend to. Please prepare as soon as possible. After all, we don't know the exact time of the next Herrscher."

As soon as she finished speaking, Angela blinked away, leaving Mobius and her assistant looking at each other in bewilderment.

Klein: "Actually, that assistant wasn't me?"

The scene followed Angela as she went to Qian Jie's location to inform him about future events.

When Qian Jie saw Angela arrive, he quickly brought out Immer. "You were the one who refused the previous offer, it has nothing to do with me. Don't say my brother asked me for help. This position has already been given to someone else."

Angela: "This isn't about that personal matter. I have other things."

"Then you can talk to him," Qian Jie pushed Immer forward and walked away, looking like he was going to find someone to fight.

Angela wanted to say more but was interrupted by Qian Jie, so she could only speak to Immer.

Immer: "Hello, what is it?"

Angela stared intently at Immer.

Immer: "Um... is there something on my face?"

Angela shook her head. "I was just wondering what charm you have that made you become Uncle Qian Jie's adjutant."

Immer: "I don't know either. This person is very strange. He's so interested even after being assassinated."

Angela: "Then how did you meet him?"

Immer: "I don't know. By the way, does he have any brothers?"

Angela: "His brother is my Father."

Immer: "How did they meet?"

Angela: "The two of them worked together to kill a Herrscher."

Immer fell silent. She finally understood Qian Jie.

Immer: "Let's discuss the main matter first. We can talk more if there's a chance in the future."

Angela: "As for the main matter, it's about the next Honkai. I'm here to remind Uncle Qian Jie that you are going to die."

Immer: "?"

"What do you mean?"

Angela: "Just what I said. Give this message to Uncle Qian Jie, and he'll understand."

With that, she left, leaving me questioning my entire existence.

Afterward, Angela went around talking to the warriors one by one about the next Honkai.

Back at her residence, Angela lay down again.

"I'm exhausted. Finally, I've delivered Father's message. I haven't failed his hopes. Now, I can finally sleep soundly."

After a busy day, Angela returned to her dorm and fell asleep peacefully. However, a black barrier appeared, surrounding the room
