Unlike Han Shuo, Hofus did not have two External Incarnations, nor could he borrow the Cauldron Spirit's power. Naturally, he could not fight on both fronts, with the black hole and his Divine Domain. Gradually, his Divine Domain was forced into a tiny area, and the Darkness Element in the surrounding world no longer surged into it.
Suddenly, Hofus felt a pang of regret. He began to think that coming alone in his arrogance had been a mistake.
Unfortunately, this was no time for regret. However much Hofus regretted it, he could not reverse his current predicament. He could only do his utmost to hold on with the dark energy of the black hole.
