Saving People

Meanwhile, Huang Hao was with Angela beneath the Imaginary Tree. (The blank space was beneath the Imaginary Tree.)

"Angie, do you think Qian Jie and I are friends yet?"

Angela looked at Huang Hao, who was diligently exercising, and was speechless.

"Father, by all rights, you two are practically comrades who have faced death together."

Huang Hao maintained his signature smile. "Of course. From now on, if I see someone fighting, I'll just rush in to die, and then come back. That's how you build a friendship."

Angela: "... Isn't that a bit immoral?"

"Angie, your father is doing this for the future. Right now, we only have the advantage of knowing the plot, and everything else hinges on the Imaginary Tree and this place beneath our feet," Huang Hao said earnestly.

As Angela listened, she suddenly thought of something. "Father, I remember this area can expand, right?"

Huang Hao paused for a moment, then nodded. "All my plans are based on making this blank space larger."

"Then why aren't you exercising yet?"

Huang Hao rolled over. "No rush, no rush. I've still got 100,000 years. That's enough time for me to waste on resting."

Angela rolled her eyes and pointed at Huang Hao. "Father, let's not even mention how much of that 100,000 years will be spent hibernating. Our time here is also running out. There's a horde of Honkai waiting for us."

"Besides, my power is a part of yours, Father. If you get stronger, I can get stronger too."

Huang Hao was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his usual smile. "Since Angie puts it that way, I can't slack off. And for my daughter to become stronger, I need to start working hard too!"

Angela was moved by the latter half of his statement and asked, "Father, I am merely a creation. I call you Father out of memory."

Huang Hao went to Angela's side and patted her head. "From the moment you first called me Father, you became my daughter. Remember, you are not a creation, but my own, beloved child."

Angela fell silent.

Huang Hao watched her, then changed the subject. "Alright, by all rights, I should start exercising. Angie, you can begin the training."

Angela also snapped back to attention. "Okay, Father. Commencing 10x gravity training."

"How much? 10x! No!"

Several months passed, and Huang Hao was constantly under Angela's oppressive training. (Not really.)

"Father, according to Earth time, the Herrscher of Death and the Honkai are about to arrive."

Huang Hao, who was lying on the ground, instantly jumped up. "That's great! Let's go quickly! This place is practically hell!"

Angela was speechless. "Didn't you ask to train?"

Huang Hao smiled in response. "I can't help it! You're too harsh, Angie. I can't take it anymore. Alright, it's time to go."

"Amaterasu!"

At Huang Hao's summon, black flames enveloped him and Angela, sending them back to the base they were on in Honkai Impact 3rd (the Matchbox).

"So convenient. I can mark a spot by sleeping in bed, and then just lie down here when fighting for infinite revivals," Huang Hao marveled. "Angie, you stay here and guard the house, or you can stay under that tree. Many guests will be arriving today, you can let them rest."

With that, Huang Hao flew away.

After flying for a while, Huang Hao arrived near the Moth to the Flame's troops. Looking at the large force, Huang Hao thought that if the Moth to the Flame mobilized so many people, they must be heading for the Herrscher of Death.

Then, Huang Hao changed his clothes, put on a black cloak, and pulled someone over to ask. "Hey, brother, where are you guys headed? I'm a refugee, and I'm a bit panicked."

The person replied, "Civilians? You should hurry and go in the opposite direction. There's Honkai ahead, and I heard there's a Herrscher. If you don't leave soon, you might get caught in the crossfire."

Huang Hao pretended to ponder, then nodded. "Thanks, old man. By the way, what's your name? If you die, I can help you erect a monument."

The person's face darkened a bit at the latter part, but he still answered, "My name is Kevin. I'm a warrior."

"What? Your name is Kevin?"

"Yeah, why?"

Huang Hao was shocked. He didn't expect to be so lucky, pulling over someone to ask for directions and ending up with Kevin.

"Nothing, I misheard. Goodbye."

Kevin also replied, "Goodbye. Remember to survive. If I die, please do help me erect a monument."

Huang Hao walked to a hidden spot and activated Amaterasu directly, then asked Angela in his mind, "Angie, quickly help me pinpoint the location."

"Okay, Father. Location sent."

After a long period of training, Huang Hao's control and power over the black flames had greatly improved. As long as the distance wasn't too great, he could teleport using Amaterasu.

Huang Hao teleported over and hid. "Thanks, Angie. Now, all that's left is to wait."

Huang Hao began to set up fires in the city, preparing for the upcoming great battle.

Not long after, the Moth to the Flame also arrived. "Report, we have reached the battlefield before the Honkai. Please issue instructions."

"Prepare yourselves. The Honkai should be arriving soon."

At this moment, an untimely voice appeared. "You should all re-examine the scene carefully. There is something very peculiar here."

Huang Hao, eavesdropping from the side, felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing the last sentence. "Damn it, who's so amazing that they could even detect this fire of mine?"

However, he calmed down. "Anyway, it's not in the recording, so it's enough for me to complete the mission."

Suddenly, a black mist rolled in, and the cells on people's bodies began to wither rapidly.

"Damn, what kind of ability is this!"

Soon, Moth to the Flame's casualties increased rapidly, and the Herrscher was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Kevin stepped forward, "Everyone calm down. When the Herrscher appears later, we'll attack together."

The members of Moth to the Flame put on their protective suits (although they had the ability to decompose all matter, it was still reassuring to wear them).

A figure appeared in the black mist. Kevin, observing keenly, immediately ordered, "All weapons, adjust to that direction, fire!"

Everyone immediately picked up their weapons and attacked the Herrscher, but the Herrscher wasn't made of paper; the bullets couldn't hurt it at all.

Kevin summoned his blade and charged forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the Herrscher of Death.

Huang Hao watched from the side.

"As expected of Kevin. He doesn't have any fused warriors yet, does he? Where does he get his strength from?" Huang Hao marveled. He himself could withstand the black mist thanks to Amaterasu and his training, but mainly Amaterasu. Kevin just needed some training to fight.

"He's definitely cheating."

Meanwhile, the civilians in the rear were also observing the battle.

"Can we survive?"

"There's no choice. We can only trust Moth to the Flame."

The civilians in the rear were extremely panicked, but they could only place their hopes on those at the front.

Kevin watched and attacked even more vigorously.

Not long after, with Moth to the Flame's incredible technology and Kevin's overpowered cheat, the Herrscher of Death couldn't hold on any longer and began to weaken.

Seeing this, Kevin immediately unleashed his full power, attacking its weak point and knocking the Herrscher of Death to the ground.

"It's been a long time, it's time to end this," Kevin said.

At this moment, the Herrscher of Death, looking extremely weak and like a young girl, stunned Kevin.

Kevin whispered, "It's just the will of the Honkai's erosion. There might still be hope."

While Kevin was stunned, the Herrscher of Death blasted him away and then began to flee.

Kevin looked in that direction and exclaimed, "Damn it, that's where the civilians are! Chase her!"

Huang Hao, who had been watching the show, was almost falling asleep. He immediately followed behind Kevin.

So long I've been setting up Amaterasu here, it's finally time to use it, Huang Hao thought to himself.

At this time, the Herrscher of Death had already charged into the crowd of civilians and began a brutal slaughter. The civilians had no power to fight back, and could only watch as their cells withered and died.

"No, why!"

"Mom, I don't want to die yet!"

The civilians wailed as the belated Kevin witnessed the scene.

"No, this is my fault. I hesitated."

Kevin looked at the tragic scene before him, filled with anger and despair, but he immediately made a decision and swiftly killed the weakened Herrscher of Death.

After Kevin killed the Herrscher of Death, he looked at the dead civilians around him, filled with regret. He knelt on the ground, reflecting on his actions.

However, he didn't notice faint black flames igniting on these people.

Angela, standing nearby, saw so many people arriving and had to knock them all out, feeling utterly speechless.

Huang Hao watched it all, lying exhausted on the ground.

Damn, saving so many people at once, even with my long training, I can't handle it. But it's time to go.

Just as Huang Hao was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait."

Huang Hao turned back in confusion. He had been so well hidden, how could he have been discovered?

"Wait, you are!"

"Hello, my name is Elysia."
