I’ll use you soon

No one​​⁠‍‌​‍‍‍‍⁠‌‌‍​‌‌​‍​⁠⁠​‌ knew.

But Angus absolutely had to get hold of the central program chain. Without it, the Forbidden Abyss’ core couldn’t be activated, rendering all their efforts futile!

At this moment, a cautious researcher from behind spoke up, “Could there be a problem with the positioning…?”

“—Absolutely impossible!!!”

Angus suddenly turned around, his face so dark it seemed pitch-black, and he even repeated in excitement,

“The signal positioning cannot possibly be wrong!!!”

His gaze fixed on the faces of the two bishops beside him.

“Immediately order the outside troops to pursue according to the positioning! If we don’t retrieve the central program chain, their heads won’t stay on their shoulders!!!”

“…….Lord Angus.”

Each researcher from the Central Temple Research Institute was invaluable, not to mention they were the chief disciples of the Saint.

The title of bishop sounded prestigious, but in their hierarchical system, survival of the fittest was allowed. In other words, even bishops had to tread carefully when dealing with these precious researchers.

One of the bishops, slightly round in figure, stepped forward with a smile on his face and said,

“Perhaps you and the Saint should evacuate with the Forbidden Abyss first. We will definitely retrieve the item for you.”

While they could continue searching for the central program chain if it couldn’t be found, if there was any problem with the Forbidden Abyss’ core that was now in the hands of these weakling researchers, it would be a grave sin.

With that, Bishop Edgar turned to the elderly observer beside him with a cold glance.

“Sage, what do you think?”

In public, Zeuxis was the Sage, holding a higher position than Angus. Privately, however, the former was the teacher and the latter the student. Yet the bishop’s attitude leaned more towards listening to Angus’ suggestions.

However, this statement from the bishop undoubtedly enraged Angus. He cut in before the Sage could speak, harshly berating Bishop Edgar without mercy.

“Are you stupid or just plain dumb? Couldn’t you understand what I just said?!”

“Right now, we can only locate the central program chain with the Forbidden Abyss’ core and the temple’s main brain system. It’s also within a limited range. If we leave now, you’ll never find it in your lifetime!!!”

“You…!”

Edgar’s face flushed red. He had always been a powerful figure among a group of disciples, and even the two archbishops had never humiliated him like this before. His earlier attempt to placate had already been exceedingly polite.

Beside him, Bishop Vian grabbed him, signaling him not to retort. Vian was a female alpha, tall with wheat-colored skin and a somewhat neutral appearance, exuding a very composed demeanor.

Clang—

At this moment, the metal doors outside swung open.

Tap, tap, tap—

The sound of high heels clicked on the floor.

“Well, well, who’s been so blind as to offend our esteemed Lord Angus again?”

A melodious voice drifted in from the doorway, causing everyone inside to turn their heads.

With light pink voluminous waves of hair cascading down, she wore a high-slit white qipao, its hollowed-out neckline revealing ample curves. With a slender waist and rounded hips, even without the sweet scent of omega pheromones, as she approached, her seductive figure almost made all the alphas’ eyes widen.

—It was Cecilia.

However, their gazes only dared to linger for a second or two. All the researchers, the disciples, and even the two archbishops immediately lowered their eyes very discreetly.

By now, most of the extensive burns that had originally covered her neck and face had healed. Only a faint pink hue remained on the newly grown skin, but under her fluffy, beautiful curls, it only added to her allure.

“Lady Cecilia.”

The two archbishops stepped back, clearing a path for her.

“I heard about the central program chain on my way here. However, the appearance of the Church’s lost SSS-class asset has exceeded estimates in terms of danger. So, I urge Lord Angus and the Sage to evacuate with the Forbidden Abyss immediately.”

This was probably the biggest disgrace for it since it rolled off the factory line as an SS-class mech!!!

As for recharging, an SS-class mecha only uses energy reactors to charge with the purest and highest quality energy sources, never touching energy oil or anything like that.

But ever since its owner, Jiang Ci, met Huo Xianfeng, Bai Ze’s luck turned sour.

If we were to make an analogy, it would be like a celestial man who only drank dew, ate flower petals, and absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth, being forced to eat leftover rice from the previous night due to life’s pressures.

Bai Ze looked up at the sky where the mechas hovered unwilling to leave.

Just you wait!

After it finishes recharging, it’ll blow your heads one by one!

But before Bai Ze could even take a few sips, it received a call from Huo Xianfeng.

[Get ready, I’m going to need you soon.]

“………”

Bai Ze choked up.

It never understood how the Great Demon King managed it. The other could call it using only mental power across such a distance without any electronic devices.

But right now, it could only hastily pour a large amount of energy oil into the energy box, then rush out from the oil tank.

It’s too difficult, can’t A-Ci change his alpha?

Bai Ze thought bitterly, flying towards the summoning source, the rooftop helipad of the temple.

At this moment, the group preparing to transfer was gradually boarding the starship.

Angus personally carried the box containing the core, while as for the Forbidden Abyss, after repairs, it could perform space folding and fit inside another password box.

Watching everyone successfully board the ship,

At this moment, the entire guard force of Bright City breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they had no idea that the invaders they had been pursuing, even now frantically searching, were inside the starship.

The interior of this enormous starship was incredibly spacious, almost equivalent to a large villa. Just as the group stepped onto it and hadn’t yet walked inside, they saw a strange young man’s shadow not far from the door.

“Yo~”

Huo Xianfeng leaned casually against the doorway, waving his hand,

“Where are you all planning to go?”

“You…”

For a moment, everyone except Cecilia stood frozen in place. From this angle, the side of the young man’s face looked remarkably like Huo Chao.

Sure enough, the next second, Angus’s pupils contracted, exclaiming involuntarily,

“Huo… Huo Chao…?”

Huo Xianfeng: “……….”

Tsk, here we go again?

He turned around and was just about to say something when he saw Angus react even more intensely,

“No! You’re not Huo Chao!!!”

As if deceived, the other questioned,

“Then who are you?!”

Huo Xianfeng: “……..”

Okay, I’ll just let you talk.
