Trap

Huang Hao woke up. The sky was already bright. Angela knocked on the door as usual, "Father, it's time to work."

Huang Hao slowly got out of bed, opened the door, yawned, and lazily said, "Coming, coming."

"Weren't you in a hurry a few days ago? Why are you suddenly... What is this?" Angela was writing a plan when she looked up and saw Huang Hao with dark circles under his eyes standing at the door, startled.

Angela: "Father... What is this?"

"Some guy with psychic powers, a two-faced punk, who decided to chat with me in the middle of the night," Huang Hao said impatiently.

Hearing Su's name, Angela inferred some reasons and stopped asking, continuing, "So today's schedule is..."

Huang Hao: "Stop, there are still some things I'm confused about."

Angela, who had intended to continue discussing the schedule, thought Huang Hao wanted to slack off when he spoke. She said grumpily, "I don't know who was urging me to get up a few days ago. What excuse are you looking for this time?"

Huang Hao awkwardly touched his nose. "It's not an excuse, it's a small matter that needs my attention."

Angela observed Huang Hao's action and said angrily, "That gesture is something only liars do. Don't lie to me anymore."

With that, she prepared to drag Huang Hao away.

"Wait! Wait!" Huang Hao quickly retreated, avoiding Angela's grasp, and presented his reason.

"An'er, don't you think things have been a bit strange lately? I lost consciousness right after talking about faith with Aponia. How could I just faint out of nowhere?"

After Huang Hao finished explaining, Angela thought about it and agreed it was indeed strange. However, she raised her own question, "Then what does this have to do with what's happening now?"

Huang Hao had expected Angela to say this. Instead of answering immediately, he went to the refrigerator, took out some food, and said, "Don't rush. I don't know for sure either, it's just a small guess. Let's eat something first."

He tossed the breakfast from the refrigerator to Angela, but she batted it away and immediately charged forward, landing a side kick to Huang Hao's waist and pinning him against the wall.

"Still trying to slack off!"

Hearing Angela's sinister voice in his ear, Huang Hao broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "It's not like that, no! Although I'm not entirely sure, I suspect it's the Honkai Will. Everything is calm now, and I'm afraid they're gathering strength. I need to go check."

After confirming he was telling the truth, Angela released Huang Hao, pulled over a chair, and sat down to continue listening to him.

Seeing Angela loosen her grip, Huang Hao quickly got up and said, "Based on the Honkai's repeated attempts to erode my will, I believe my sudden fainting spell last time was an attempt to erode me again. He's probably resorting to brute force, which is why I was overwhelmed and fainted. So..."

"I need to settle this."

Huang Hao suddenly became serious, like a different person, which made Angela a bit unaccustomed. However, seeing him like this, Angela thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, Father, that's too dangerous."

Seeing that Angela actually refused, Huang Hao said with relief, "An'er is actually worried about me. I initially said it was a small matter, but I didn't expect you wouldn't believe me. But it's okay, I'll be back soon."

After Huang Hao finished speaking, Angela blushed slightly. "No, this is what I should be doing. Father, you should go."

She then walked out, closing the door behind her.

Watching Angela leave, Huang Hao went straight to the table, took out paper and pen, and began to think.

"Actually, I don't know where to go either."

Huang Hao said with a wry smile at the table, leaning back in his chair, holding the paper, doodling on it, and recalling details he hadn't considered in his mind.

After sitting there for ten minutes, Huang Hao suddenly stood up. He had thought of something... thought of something... Well, he hadn't thought of anything at all. But to make himself look busy and prevent Angela from thinking he was slacking off, he immediately teleported away.

As the flames dissipated, Huang Hao arrived at the Mu Continent, which had turned into a vast ocean, and flew around aimlessly.

"Maybe Su was right. I really should rest more and stop fantasizing so much."

Huang Hao looked at the ocean. The waves moved like the birds that used to fly in the sky when Huang Hao first arrived. The sun shone on the water, like the brilliant culture of the continent before, but unfortunately...

"Besides us, probably very few people will remember."

Huang Hao sighed emotionally, and a voice beside him said, "Yes, it's a pity."

"You think so too... No!"

Huang Hao instinctively jumped back using his authority, creating a domain to prepare for battle, as he was all too familiar with that voice.

"Stop hiding, Honkai."

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar voice echoed, "I'm not hiding. I'm not here in the first place."

At this moment, the familiar blackness appeared again. Huang Hao watched the gradually condensing domain and blurted out the words he had always wanted to complain about, "Don't you have any other moves? Is there no end to this?"

Huang Hao tried to stop the condensation, but he failed and was trapped.

Seeing that he was helpless, Huang Hao simply sat down and resigned himself, "Come on, say whatever you want. If you can break through my defenses, I'll lose. Angela can save me anyway."

Honkai: "Your dear child can't come. This is a physical area."

Huang Hao: "Then why did you drag me here?"

"Because you are too strong."

As the Honkai Will said this, Huang Hao was completely baffled. "You know I'm too strong, and you still mess with me? What's your purpose?"

Honkai Will: "Your energy does not belong to the Honkai."

Huang Hao's energy was converted through the Imaginary Tree. It served the same purpose as Honkai Energy, but it was not Honkai Energy. Huang Hao knew this very well, considering it a form of conversion.

Thinking of this, Huang Hao suddenly remembered the next Honkai, his expression gradually becoming tense. "Could it be that you've trapped me because my energy counters it, and now he..."

"That's right. Through your power, he has become even stronger this time. Even if everyone's strength were combined, it wouldn't surpass him."

"You cannot win."
