Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

"But unfortunately, these great things are our enemies."

"Many universes were destroyed because of them and became this horrible thing. Of course, if you want to become like this, I don't mind."

The gray snake revealed a cruel smile, its red eyes filled with hatred.

"I don't want to look like this!"

Seeing those octopus tentacles, eyes on its face, and multiple arms, Kiana and the others didn't want to become like that. After all, no girl dislikes being beautiful, and that thing was completely unsuitable for them.

"If they are your enemies, shouldn't you be dealing with those extraterrestrial evil gods? What you are doing now is no different from what they are doing."

Fu Hua, thanks to the Phoenix Force and the Mind Stone, recovered the fastest among them. She immediately asked Grey Serpent the key question, since Grey Serpent still hadn't explained their purpose in doing so.

"Do you really understand the world? Do you really understand the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quantum? Every branch of the tree is a form of the world's existence; every flower and leaf is the present, past, and future they leave behind in the dimension of time."

"The canopy is an imaginary energy without a master in the spacetime dimensional space, but it always has a dynamic structure. New buds grow, withered leaves fall off, and countless births and endings are played out in the infinite universe. The structure of the universe is likened to a tree, and similarly, countless worlds are born from the main universe."

"The unclaimed imaginary energy, flowing ceaselessly through space and time, forms the galaxies we know at the end, that is, a world within a leaf. And between worlds, just as there is a spatial barrier between leaves, there is an unknown imaginary space that is difficult to cross, blocking interstellar travel between branches."

"Unfortunately, this is just a misconception of your civilization. The world is very, very large, and even we cannot see the whole picture."

"Over the course of time, we have visited many universes and come to understand some of the truths of the infinite multiverse."

"These universes are merely reflections of the unconscious energy emanating from the real Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of ​​Quanta, intertwined with each other. Countless births and endings unfold in the infinite universe. If you compare the structure of your so-called universe to a tree, then your so-called universe is not even a branch of that tree."

“You have never truly seen the real trees and the sea. In the vastness of infinite time, which is only a short time even the lifespan of the universe can be considered, the real trees and the sea have been constantly expanding.”

"Beyond the trees and the sea lies a void where no life can survive. Every branch of the tree, every leaf, every ripple of the sea, every bubble, transforms into new trees and seas in this void, and these new trees and seas, in turn, transform into entirely new trees and seas. This is the birth of the multiverse."

"To this day, every moment of the tree and the sea at this moment will generate infinite possibilities, and each possibility will generate infinitely many identical sides, and each side will instantly split into more sides, splitting endlessly, and growing endlessly."

"But even such trees and seas are nothing in the vast void, and this is only part of the truth about the world as we know it!"

"Extraterrestrial evil gods are beings from beyond the void. They are powerful and chaotic, just as intelligent beings are diverse."

"They don't care about the insects' cries. The so-called pollution of the universe may just be an experiment for them. In their eyes, you and I are just weak insects. But the world is fair. The powerful ones are above the laws of the universe, but they are also subject to higher rules."

"As beings at a higher level, they would find it difficult to enter the real world without coordinates. Even if they did, they would be rejected by the universe. But that doesn't mean they have no way to enter."

"Intelligent beings are not lacking in wise men, but they are not lacking in fools either. Intelligent beings will actively seek to contact them and bring them in, and the final result is that the universe is what you just saw."

Gray Snake was very sincere and revealed all the information.

"So your purpose in destroying the universe is to prevent those extraterrestrial evil gods from entering? After all, without intelligent beings providing coordinates to help the evil gods invade, it would be theoretically very difficult for them to get in, am I right?"

Bronya also deduced her guess about Gray Serpent's words.

"What is this? In order to prevent the terrifying evil god we face from destroying the world, we destroy the world ourselves, leaving the other side with no world to destroy?"

At this moment, Kiana was utterly bewildered by their thought process. She couldn't understand it; what benefit did they gain from doing this? Shouldn't they be fighting those evil gods? What was the difference between what they were doing and what those evil gods were doing?

Chapter 414 The Power of the Phoenix

"Don't compare us to those damned extraterrestrial evil gods! Your so-called civilization, your so-called universe, is nothing but fuel."

"Why can you still look hopeful? Why are you still unwilling to obediently fight to the death? It's disgusting."

"In about ten hours, even if you stand still, you will all perish. You have no hope, you will be wiped out without any chance."

Kiana: "So this is what Gray Serpent and the others' goal was: to destroy the universe and stop the evil god's invasion. It seemed like a good deed, so how did it turn into this in the hands of these guys?"

Möbius (previous civilization): "That's not necessarily true. What they did shouldn't have been as simple as that guy's."

Jing Yuan: "There are actually beings that resemble evil gods outside the universe."

Black Tower: "I didn't expect things outside the universe to be like this. It seems I need to study this further."

March 7: "How come these demon gods are doing things so similarly to what the antimatter legion does? Only on a more advanced level."

After all, the antimatter legion's mission is to destroy all civilizations in the universe, but these demon gods are even more thorough, annihilating civilizations along with the universe.

Walter Yang (Starry Sky): "March, now that you mention it, it really does sound like it."

"Grey Snake, your tone is still the same as before. Whether we win or lose still needs to be fought to find out. We will not give up."

Fu Hua saw that the other party didn't want to talk anymore, so she didn't bother to say anything more to this arrogant guy.

"You underestimate the Lord! Let us help the Lord deal with you invaders."

Finally, the gray snake, still clinging to a semblance of human form, uttered a single sentence, after which its entire body swelled up, and countless chunks of flesh began to disperse.

At the same time, the other Demon Pillars also enlarged, one after another, Demon Pillars larger than stars appeared before Kiana and the others, rows of eyes larger than planets writhing: "Listen well, my name is Demon God Floros, the one in charge of intelligence among the seventy-two Demon Pillars. I let you go last time, but this time I am full of energy, you will all die!"

In an instant, several powerful auras swept across the area from the temple, which was also felt by the powerful figures outside.

"There's movement at the temple, let's go!"

Streams of light, each a different color but brimming with powerful aura, shot out from the various warships and headed towards the temple, leaving behind a trail of corpses of imaginary quantum creations wherever they went.

……

A fiery feather slowly floated down from beneath the dark temple. The moment the feather landed on Fu Hua, a towering flame appeared out of thin air, and from a distance, Fu Hua transformed into a fiery phoenix!

The soaring phoenix of flames swung its burning wings and flew into the sky like a meteor. The intense heat accompanying its flight gradually distorted the surrounding scenery, and the entire entrance to the temple was instantly stained red by the scorching flames. This terrifying phoenix tide wave swept in like a tidal wave.

It was a phoenix bathed in flames, its wings outstretched, and the red feathers from all over its body trailed out a magnificent sea of ​​fire.

Clang!

Seemingly drawn by the power, it stretched its neck and sang a loud and powerful phoenix cry.

The annihilation fluctuations that linger around it are enough to cause any known real object, and even real space itself, to inexplicably collapse, and air molecules to rapidly dissipate into powder.

Under the phoenix's attack, the tentacles of the attacking demon pillar dissipated into annihilation molecules.

"die!"

Like a landscape eroded by wind over the years, or like a clay figure piled up with mud and sand, the bodies of several demon god pillars collapsed and turned into dust.

"This is the Phoenix Force's annihilation in reality..."

The Demon Pillar, sensing the power of the Phoenix, widened its eyes. They had initially thought that Fu Hua, even with the power of the Phoenix, wouldn't be too strong, but they had underestimated her. With changes involving the molecular level and even altering reality, even the Demon Pillar's physical body was completely destroyed.

"The class monitor is amazing!"

Seeing that Fu Hua had single-handedly wiped out Gray Serpent and his allies, Kiana and the others, who had originally planned to help, could only watch helplessly.

Just when Kiana and the others thought it was all over...

"Hahahaha... Fu Hua, I underestimated you. But you can never truly defeat us. We are immortal, and we are inexhaustible. Everything in this space is us. Show yourselves! Show yourselves, my comrades! Display your power!"

The Gray Serpent and several other demonic pillars were immediately resurrected the moment they were killed by Fu Hua.

The Grand Time Palace is an observation deck for a new world, crafted from the body of a demon god and using a real universe as its foundation.

There was more than one demon god like the Gray Serpent; they filled the entire temple and could be considered part of the temple itself.

The moment the group stepped into the temple, she was essentially inside the demon god's belly!

Each Demon God Pillar is not only individually powerful, but also infinite in number. Even if one pillar is destroyed, an identical one will immediately be born. In addition, the temple itself is composed of a universe.

The Demon Pillars connecting to the temple mean that, in other words, if there is no power within the temple that can directly destroy the entire temple universe, then it is immortal!

Although the Phoenix Force is powerful, Fu Hua doesn't even have a tiny fraction of the true Phoenix Force. Her ability to modify reality is useless against the Demon God Pillar because it doesn't exist in the temple.

"..."

Fu Hua was also suspicious when she saw the Demon Pillars that had been resurrected. Originally, she had revealed the Phoenix Force in order to quickly kill several Demon Pillars in order to weaken the enemy's power.

But it seems that it won't work now. The other party's immortality means they can probably keep them trapped inside forever.

They haven't even entered the door yet, and of the seventy-two demonic pillars that the Gray Serpent spoke of, only six have appeared here. There might be even stronger demonic pillars inside, as well as their lords... This is troublesome.

Unless she's willing to stay here and hold off these pillars, they'll continue to be in the way.

However, if she, the strongest among them, stays here, Kiana and the others, who have just obtained the Infinity Stones, might not be able to return once they enter the temple.

"Your journey has come to an end. I can now be certain of your doom: to be numbly burned to ashes in despair!"

"Hahahaha, you will never reach the throne! Just stay with us and wait for the new world to come."

The evil and ferocious demons also reduced their attack area by shrinking back to normal size from the size of a star. At their level, size was meaningless; they could grow as big as they wanted or shrink as they wanted.

The demonic pillars laughed wildly in the void, their twisted tentacles shattering the space. Ominous power transformed into cursed flames, and the defeated pillars of light streaked across the void. Even hell was no more than this.

However, it was burned to ashes by the Phoenix Force in the next second, but then it recovered, making it impossible to kill.

Fu Hua had considered other ways to trap them, but the Demon Pillars seemed to have some resistance to time and space. Even if they were trapped in a spatial lock and time loop, they would simply commit suicide and resurrect.

The souls of the Demon Pillars, like their bodies, can instantly revive after death, thus leaving Fu Hua and the others stranded there.

Chapter 415 Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods Confront One Hundred Thousand Envoys

However, just as the stalemate was at its peak, streaks of brilliant aurora borealis began to appear from the vast sea of ​​stars, crossing the void and shining like a meteor shower.

hum!hum!hum!

With Fu Hua and her team battling the Demon Pillars, the temple's defenses had long been breached, allowing the Radiance to easily descend upon various parts of the temple, with bursts of astonishing energy reactions appearing within the observation range of each fleet.

"So, you are the culprits who destroyed the multiverse!"

The numerous figures glanced suspiciously at Fu Hua, who had transformed into a phoenix with the power of the phoenix, before turning their heads to look at the Demon God Pillar.

"Hahahaha... So you're the lackeys of the Star Gods. The Lord was merciful enough to spare you, but you actually came here. Well then, let's all die together!"

Within the starry sky, at this very moment, muffled thunderclaps that should never have appeared in the universe resounded, thunder rumbled, and lightning devoured the heavens and the sky, obscuring everything.

A humanoid figure appeared; he was none other than Baal, the first demon god.

Beside him stood Agares, a frail-looking old sage, and Vasak, whose eyes seemed to see into the past and future.

Following them, the Demon Pillars Samigina, Malbus, Valif, Amon, Barbatos, and others also arrived, bringing the total number of the seventy-two pillars to six, including the Gray Serpent Pillar.

"All seventy-two demon gods have come?"

At this moment, the seventy-two demon gods stood in a row. Even though the number of powerful figures they faced was no less than 100,000, their aura was not weak in the slightest.

"Squad leader, should we just...?"

Bronya secretly sent a telepathic message to Fu Hua, since all seventy-two Demon God Pillars had now appeared, and if they didn't leave now, when would they?

"...Okay, let's go!"

Fu Hua knew that now was not the time to hesitate. These people were all quite strong, so she could use them to draw attention to them. The Phoenix Force directly swept up Kiana and the others and rushed towards the entrance.
