After the Emperor finished speaking...

Angela suddenly appeared out of Lobotomy Corporation.

The Emperor showed no surprise at the sudden appearance of Angela, as if he had already anticipated it.

[When two souls become one and the same, generally speaking, this situation should be one of mutual destruction.]

Angela simply closed her eyes and slowly answered on Xiao Huasheng's behalf, "We cannot choose our origins, but we can choose to be sisters."

There wasn't a trace of a smile on the face of the blue-haired, icy Angel.

Angela, fearing that Xiao Huasheng would be fooled by the Yellow Skin in front of her, took the initiative to appear and negotiate with him.

Chapter 74: Quack! It's the Super Foundation! [5 Updates]

"If you brought us here, you should at least explain why."

Angela said, looking at the half-skull in front of her.

Regardless of what he looked like in other people's eyes, in their eyes he was always just a skeleton.

Everyone knows that the Warhammer Universe is a complete cesspool.

It's hard not to be angry when they're dragged into this cesspool like that.

Here, both Xiao Huasheng and Angela possess a way to completely resist psychic Psychic Power.

They can also receive the Emperor's address.

Even though Angela is merely a mortal being, the Reality Warping power she possesses can be easily applied to herself.

Moreover, this application cannot be easily revoked like Xiao Huasheng's.

Whatever kind of body she wants, as long as she can provide enough energy, Angela can have that power.

She wasn't just a simple office worker.

It can be said that none of the employees in Lobotomy Corporation are in the clerical category.

Angela simply took over the clerical work.

Certainly.

For the sake of the bigger picture, Angela's current body is still that of a cute and weak blue-haired girl; she has simply given herself the ability to greatly resist Psychic Power.

Nothing has changed.

But this doesn't mean she has no voice.

Angela hugged Xiao Huasheng, pinched her cheek, and said to the Emperor in front of her, "I won't allow you to fool my kind-hearted manager. I'll consider all the pitfalls for her."

As Xiao Huasheng's subconscious, she knew quite well what kind of person Xiao Huasheng was.

"I won't be fooled."

Xiao Huasheng, blushing, offered his explanation after Angela pinched him in public.

But these explanations don't sound plausible at all.

Angela didn't say anything, but just smiled at her and pinched the red-haired Angel's cheek again.

It seems Angela has figured out how to use the right amount of force to keep her supervisor's cheeks soft.

This made Xiao Huasheng pout, transforming into a hamster and becoming even cuter.

In fact, Angela would never reveal Xiao Huasheng's shortcomings.

She knew.

I've always known that.

The supervisor is too kind.

If the Emperor only needed to show Xiao Huasheng the miserable state of the people in this universe...

Even though Xiao Huasheng said she wouldn't meddle, she still couldn't help but help these people.

Even if such help ultimately proves futile, the same applies.

She will draw herself into this universe, and she will become very deeply involved.

Angela worried that she wouldn't be able to get out and live the life she wanted.

That's why they risked their lives to negotiate at this time.

"Let me make this clear first: this universe is actually irrelevant to us, and you don't need it. You can't use the people of this universe to blackmail us."

The blue-haired girl spoke in an almost cold manner.

After a moment of contemplation, the Emperor did indeed withdraw the Psychic Power image that had been playing the victim.

Because the Emperor had roughly figured out Xiao Huasheng's personality through observation.

I know this is something that can truly move Xiao Huasheng.

However, it didn't work on Angela.

This is also the significance of Angela's existence here.

Seeing the pressure Angela exerted on the Emperor, he realized that Angela was about to do something big.

Xiao Huasheng quickly united the opposing sides.

"Yes, yes! Even if you try to play the victim, we won't help you."

Angela didn't speak, but silently watched the Emperor on the Golden Throne.

[In that case, let's make a deal.]

The Emperor suddenly spoke.

Angela closed her eyes and stood silently beside Xiao Huasheng.

Xiao Huasheng also seemed to be listening attentively.

She was also curious about what kind of deal the Emperor would make.

This was the first time Xiao Huasheng had ever heard Emperor say such a thing.

In Xiao Huasheng's mind, Emperor were completely ruthless in achieving their goals.

He is also an extremely capable, almost omnipotent person.

In short, it's extremely exaggerated!

It's quite rare for the word "transaction" to come out of the mouth of Emperor.

The Emperor quickly revealed the details of the deal.

[Help me repair the Webway, and I will allow you to replenish an unlimited amount of energy in this universe.]

Upon hearing this,

Angela frowned slightly.

How would the Emperor know that they needed energy to survive?!

Angela sensed something was wrong from just the first sentence.

Even if Angela didn't say it, the Emperor would explain directly.

[From the moment you arrived in this universe, I have been observing you. Usually, after a major battle, you enter a brief state of stupor before returning to normal. This behavior always occurs on battlefields with heavy casualties...]

[I haven't detected any Psychic Power, and I can't rule out the possibility that you're in a dormant state, but I think the most likely scenario is that you're drawing energy from your souls.]

[My throne, in all the battles you have fought, no souls have returned.]

Clearly, the Emperor had already guessed this possibility by returning to his Golden Throne without a soul.

What a terrifying Yellow Skin!

However, Angela wasn't surprised; if it was only this level, she could still accept it.

[That's not enough; these conditions are still insufficient.]

She slightly opened her eyes, a glint of gold flashing in them.

For Angela, this offer was clearly not strong enough.

Having unlimited energy would certainly be a good option.

But for Angela, it wasn't enough at all.

Who knows how much energy it would take to repair these Old Ones' Webway? Even if they possessed the Reality-Warping Ability, repairing such an unknown technology would be an astronomical expense.

The Yellow Skin's words were ultimately just empty promises.

The chips for the future cannot be used to secure the present.

As expected, the cunning Yellow Skin knew that this was not true at all. After realizing that Angela was not easy to fool, he put forward a second condition.

[Whatever you desire, the entire Human Imperium will be at your disposal.]

Angela, without even thinking, blurted out the answer.

"We can fix the Webway for you, and you can even make some additional requests later."

When Angela suddenly relaxed the conditions, the Emperor instinctively felt something was amiss, but he still listened to her continue.

What are your specific conditions?

"By signing this contract, we become partners. And as partners, everything can be resolved naturally."

Angela smiled kindly and pulled out a specially made contract from somewhere.

It was also the contract she wrote while she was arguing with the Emperor.

She casually tossed the contract at the Yellow Skin's face.

After carefully reviewing all the terms of the contract using his Psychic Power, the Emperor fell silent.

Is this contract even something a human could write?

Just then, some commotion occurred on the Golden Throne.

At this crucial juncture, a portal suddenly opened and landed on the Golden Throne!

A group of soldiers dressed in Foundation task force uniforms fell onto the Yellow Skin half-skull head.

If the Emperor hadn't used his Psychic Power to firmly hold the throne in place, he would probably have been smashed open by these aerial figures.

Xiao Huasheng's eyes widened.

"There are more experts? The Foundation got involved too?"

Chapter 75: Doctor, Jin Li [1st Update]

They saw Foundation personnel suddenly appear.

It would be strange if Xiao Huasheng said he wasn't surprised.

Even Yellow Skin could teleport an Astartes warrior to the Foundation World.

The Foundation's reverse transmission is not entirely impossible.

After all, there's still a Warp portal that the Foundation is trying to contain.

Not only Angela, but the Emperor also began to observe this group of people.

But the next moment, the Emperor suddenly fell silent.

Among this Foundation personnel were researchers, including members of the task force, and even among those researchers.

Xiao Huasheng even spotted someone familiar.

"Gun Angel? You're here too?" Jin*** stared wide-eyed at Xiao Huasheng.

He looked very different from when he was wearing management clothes; he had been demoted by the Foundation.

He went back to his old profession—a researcher.

Suddenly, it was as if he understood something.

He silently took out a cigarette from his pocket and slowly lit it. "So this is your hometown?"

He wearily puffed out smoke, his lifeless eyes seemingly holding a wisdom that saw through everything.

Xiao Huasheng's eyelids twitched as he looked at Jin Li's appearance.
