Epilogue

At this moment, Huang Hao slowly rose to his feet in the space and twisted his neck. Speaking to Pardo through the screen, he said, "You know, I actually feel pretty crazy myself. My goal doesn't match my personality. Reason tells me it's impossible, but I upheld this goal from the moment I came here. Now, I'm going to fulfill my responsibility."

"What?"

"Get up. I've changed my mind." Huang Hao rose as he spoke. At once, Pardo felt the space begin to expand, as if something inside it were about to burst out, surging up and down without end.

"Get up. We're going to support them now." Huang Hao's voice echoed beside Pardo's ear again, and she felt herself slowly begin to rise into the air.

Looking at the ground drifting farther and farther away, Pardo was terrified and hurriedly asked, "Senior, what is this?"

Huang Hao reassured Pardo, "Don't be nervous. I'm using only my power. Just quietly feel it for now."

Hearing Huang Hao's words, Pardo slowly closed her eyes and searched for what had changed. At the same time, Huang Hao began speaking with Angela. "An'er, the plan has changed. Prepare ahead of time to control the energy's movement."

In her mind, Angela was visibly stunned for a moment before asking, "Why? If we use it now, I'm afraid we won't be able to kill the Herrscher."

"If one shot isn't enough, then use two." Huang Hao spoke calmly.

Angela immediately said nervously from the other side, "How can we do that, Father? Your entire body is practically made up of the Imaginary Tree's energy. If you use it all at once, then..."

Clearly, Huang Hao's bad habit still hadn't gone away. He interrupted Angela, then looked toward Pardo, who was still searching for the power flowing through her body.

...With talent like this, how did she become one of the chosen? Screenwriter, you're really ruthless.

After complaining, Huang Hao pressed his hand against Pardo again and began communicating with her, teaching her how to use the energy. Gradually, Pardo finally managed to fly on her own.

After she had just learned how to do so—as a Fusion Warrior, she already knew a little; this was truly a breakthrough of her limits—she also learned to release the energy.

"That was quite a struggle." Seeing that Pardo had learned it, Huang Hao smiled tiredly.

Looking at the flames in her hand, Pardo happily said to Huang Hao, "We finally did it! Let's hurry on to the next step!"

But when he heard her mention the next step, Huang Hao suddenly fell silent. Frightened, Pardo hurriedly asked again, "What's wrong, Senior? Did something happen?"

After a while, Huang Hao's voice came through again. "It's fine. This is a normal phenomenon. However, we don't have much time left."

Hearing Huang Hao's voice again, Pardo quickly straightened up and listened attentively.

Huang Hao asked, "Have you ever shot an arrow?"

Pardo replied, "Uh, no, but I've seen it done."

"Form the stance, then gather the power in your hand and visualize it."

Pardo followed his instructions. She closed her eyes and felt the power Huang Hao was controlling. Slowly, a black arrow appeared at her fingertips.

Pardo quietly opened her eyes and snuck a glance at it. She immediately grew excited and told Huang Hao, "It worked!"

Huang Hao said, "Very good. Have you learned this arrow?"

"I've learned it!"

"Good. Aim in that direction." Huang Hao pointed toward the place where the Herrscher was spreading the energy, increasing the amount of energy he transferred to Pardo as he spoke in a cold voice.

"I've thought about this arrow for five years. Today, let me try it."
