Family

As Huang Hao was contemplating whether to go to Senba Academy, he suddenly heard someone downstairs in the inn say, "It's been chaotic lately, with Herrschers appearing all the time. I'm even thinking of fleeing to seek refuge."

Huang Hao had a flash of inspiration. Kevin would join Moth to the Flame in the future anyway, so if he got closer to them now, he could save them during the battle on the moon.

He'd start by using his black fire to create a mobile phone (don't ask, Honkai Energy can do anything). Relying on the black fire, he could handle almost all official matters.

Afterward, he'd check the news to see which Herrschers had appeared, which would help him determine the timeline.

"Herrscher of Thunder? Wait? That's not right. I've only been in the wilderness for a few days, how could the Herrscher of Thunder arc already be over? Damn, I'm going to miss Mei and Kevin, oh right, and Kiana."

Huang Hao's plan ended as soon as it began. He was now scratching his head, thinking of a new plan.

"Ah, there's also the Herrscher of Ice. They wouldn't just ignore that, would they? No, wait, they didn't kill the Herrscher of Ice, who was it then?" (The plot of Honkai Impact 3rd from ld:b, and any missing details would be found elsewhere.)

Huang Hao thought for a long time but couldn't recall. He resorted to his usual method: giving up and taking immediate action.

"Whatever, I'll just go and see."

With that thought, Huang Hao grabbed two pens and a bag of snacks from the inn's table and walked out. Just as he stepped outside, he stopped again.

"The Herrscher of Ice should be in the next Honkai... Staying in the inn all the time isn't a solution. I should create a robot with my black fire. It's too troublesome to keep transforming myself."

Huang Hao settled on a new plan and confidently went out to find an uninhabited place.

After walking for a long time, Huang Hao arrived in a desert.

"Phew, I've been walking for days. This fire is quite useful. There's no one for a hundred kilometers around here, and Moth to the Flame doesn't patrol this area specifically."

Then, Huang Hao "secretly" used his fire to blast out a large pit, "secretly" built a matchbox inside it, and then "secretly" covered it up.

"I'm exhausted. Even though this fire did all the work, controlling it is still a bit tiring."

Huang Hao looked with satisfaction at the flat sandy ground. This would be his temporary residence from now on.

"This fire is dark and it's a ball of fire. I'll call it Amaterasu from now on."

Huang Hao went inside the matchbox, arranged all the furniture, and then lay down.

"This Honkai Previous Civilization, why don't they even mark the dates? How am I supposed to do this? I don't know the time or the location. Wait, Amaterasu can take me directly, so I do know the location. I'll just stay here for now and quickly build a conscious robot. That way, I'll have company and someone to remind me."

Huang Hao was lounging on the bed thinking, and then he began to build the machine.

"Wait, I don't know how to build one? Amaterasu!"

Huang Hao summoned the black fire and thought of Ai-chan from Honkai Impact 3rd, trying to replicate her. It was an obvious failure.

"Oh dear, how could I possibly create this thing all at once? I need to think of another way."

Wait, the Imaginary Tree summoned me. Setting aside its purpose, it must have plenty of consciousnesses. All I need to do is use Amaterasu to create a basic form, and then let the Imaginary Tree directly create one! Amaterasu was given by the Imaginary Tree, so Huang Hao could be considered its representative.

Once Huang Hao understood, he immediately began to construct the body. He tinkered for several days, working tirelessly, and it was a successful... failure.

Huang Hao simply gave up and used Amaterasu to create a body and then arrange its consciousness.

"I can handle the consciousness myself, but with my current strength, I can only make one. Of course, one is enough. Isn't creating life a very sinful act?"

Suddenly, Huang Hao had a flash of inspiration. Right, I remember playing a game before, and that robot was pretty good.

Following that idea, Amaterasu created a girl with blue hair.

Huang Hao stared, dumbfounded: "Holy crap, that was fast!"

But he quickly recovered, looking at the girl with a smile.

When the girl slowly opened her eyes and stood by Huang Hao's bed, she stared at him and said, "Father."

Huang Hao: "?"

Huang Hao: "No? I remember he knew everything under the sun, don't tell me he's only like five or sixteen now? Amaterasu, Amaterasu?"

There was no response in Huang Hao's mind. Amaterasu was clearly playing dead.

"6"

The girl just quietly watched Huang Hao by the bed, not saying a word.

Huang Hao looked at her, feeling helpless, and could only agree.

Huang Hao: "I created you, but I'm still young, so call me 'brother'."

Girl: "Father."

Huang Hao: "Brother!"

Huang Hao raised his voice, but the girl said expressionlessly, "Father."

Huang Hao was speechless and could only say, "Fine, when I'm alone, you can call me Father. But when there are outsiders, call me Brother."

The girl nodded, as if agreeing.

Huang Hao: "Speaking of which, you don't have a name yet, do you?"

The girl remained silent.

Huang Hao: "Then, I'll call you Angela from now on."

"Angela..."

The girl nodded gently, as if agreeing. No, she should be called Angela now.

Huang Hao looked at the results with great satisfaction, then asked Angela, "An'er, you were created by Amaterasu, so you should know a lot, right?"

Angela: "Know what?"

"Never mind, An'er, I'll just ask directly. When will the Herrscher of Ice appear?"

"Father, it should be this afternoon."

"This afternoon? What! This afternoon?"
