Crisis

In the dim space, Huang Hao wasn't as panicked as before; he was somewhat accustomed to it.

"To prevent me from running away, just how big did you make this space?"

While trying other methods to escape, Huang Hao, with a surprisingly calm mind, started chatting with the Honkai Will. However, the cold sweat on his body and the power he was constantly using revealed his inner panic.

Even though he was in a space with nothing, the voice still came through: "Give up. This was made with your own energy. I even helped you collect the scattered energy."

After a long period of effort (bombardment), the space remained completely unaffected, as if the previous space never existed. Huang Hao could only stop quietly, wanting to hear what else the Honkai would say.

However, Huang Hao waited for a long time but didn't hear the Honkai speak again. Finally, he thought, "It seems the Honkai Will can't stay here for too long either. So, what should I do now?"

Facing complete isolation, Huang Hao couldn't find a way to escape. He could only keep sending messages, praying they would get through, and began meditating to recover some stamina, so he could immediately start fighting once he got out.

While resting, Huang Hao felt other forces flowing and the surrounding scenery began to change...

Due to the intense mental connection between Angela and Huang Hao, Angela immediately noticed something was wrong when their link was severed. Normally, even if Father were killed by an enemy, they could still communicate normally in the void. This situation was unprecedented.

Clearly, Angela didn't know Father was imprisoned, but she did know danger was approaching, especially since they had communicated beforehand.

Angela immediately went to find others, but the most important thing was to determine the nature of the situation, even if she only had a general idea.

Angela instantly arrived at Mobius's laboratory. Thanks to Huang Hao's prior warning, the lab was already deserted. It had been officially transferred to Angela, but everyone knew it was to give Mobius a plausible reason to move out. She hadn't expected it to be useful.

This place had monitoring capabilities comparable to any other observation center, meaning information could be obtained here the fastest. Angela immediately began searching, but because Huang Hao had teleported away, she found no trace of him. However, what she dreaded seeing did appear.

"Over by the city, why is there such strong Honkai Energy!"

Angela nervously watched the dense readings of Honkai Energy on the monitor, cold sweat trickling down her face without her realizing it. Still, she reacted quickly and returned to her most frequent location, headquarters.

After the teleportation ended, before the surrounding flames had even dissipated, Angela felt an overwhelming noise and chaos, followed by the sound of alarms.

Angela thought to herself, "It seems I'm not the only one who noticed. But what happened to Father?"

Amidst the piercing alarms, Angela felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she saw Pardofelis.

Angela: "Pardo, what are you doing here?"

Pardo: "Commander Angela, I'm feeling unwell..."

Pardo was disoriented, her face flushed, and she was swaying unsteadily. Even though she was a Fusion Warrior, it was unclear how she had fallen ill.

Seeing Pardo so sick, Angela, who had just teleported and was now among these ordinary soldiers, felt immense sympathy. She gave Pardo some medicine and administered a small dose intravenously.

Although she knew Pardo was one of the future survivors, the difference in their status created a barrier; they could only be considered ordinary friends. Nevertheless, she arranged for Pardo to be moved.

"Pardo, sneak over to the Mu Continent. Father said there's no Honkai Energy there because of the energy dissipation, so it's very safe."

Pardo didn't seem to hear, only nodding and staggering away. However, Angela noticed Pardo walking along the wall, bumping into it repeatedly, and realized she hadn't understood. So, Angela secretly used her abilities to find others and asked them to transfer Pardo to a civilian evacuation ship and send her away.

After sending Pardo off, Angela felt puzzled as to why a Fusion Warrior would fall ill. However, she didn't have time to dwell on it and left immediately.
