infinite loop on my code

[cupcakesprinles]

I've been working on a school project for my computer architecture class where we have to write an assembly code in 8085 that computes the power of a number B by a number C. To be honest, we don't reaaally know what we are doing since it's our first time having any contact with Assmebly... in a few days we will have to hand in our projects, but we ran it on this site and it says we have an INFINITE LOOP! If somebody could tell me how to fix the issue with the code we would REALLY appreciate it!! Thank you very much and have a nice day :)

note: the register 00E0 is where we store the value of C, and the register 00E1 is where we store the value of B
