Chapter 1632: Underground Passage
HALL-E, who had been silently observing the battle from the shadows, saw the black mushroom cloud rise into the sky at the center of the battlefield. It also watched as Sein and his companions fled, with the Gallant Federation legions pressing in behind them.
In terms of fundamental composition, the Burning Flame Unit was essentially a metallic construct—a “robot”.
The eight-winged angel pursuing Sein and his group likewise belonged to the same category.
HALL-E had indeed sensed a similar robotic resonance emanating from Fermera, the eight-winged angel.
Yet when it came to identifying its own “kind”, HALL-E leaned more toward Burning Flame.
It was not merely because Burning Flame triggered a faint tingling sensation within HALL-E’s body. Rather, it was that deeper, inexplicable connection—Burning Flame, awakened to self-awareness by the Magic Cube, was alive.
No matter how powerful the eight-winged angel Fermera might be, she remained a lifeless machine.
Thus, HALL-E made its decision without hesitation. It would aid Burning Flame and Sein’s group.
Having endured tens of millions of years of solitude, HALL-E would never abandon such a rare encounter with its own “kind”.
To Sein and the others, the core ruins of the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization were vast enough to rival a large-sized plane.
HALL-E, however, had thoroughly explored this space and was deeply familiar with it after countless years of existence.
Although HALL-E spent most of its time diligently carrying out its duty of clearing trash, even its occasional explorations during rare moments of leisure were enough for it to know the entire secret realm like the back of its mechanical hand.
