Phantylia's smile had completely vanished.
Something about this situation felt… wrong.
She had gone through so much trouble to sow chaos in the Xianzhou, even sacrificing her own form to obtain this beautiful and powerful new body.
Yet, the ones who came to face her weren't the disciplined Cloud Knights of the Luofu—
Instead, it was a bunch of… questionable individuals!
And these people radiated an overwhelming, terrifying pressure!
Suddenly—
Another group barged in!
Phantylia clenched her fists so hard she crushed one of the nearby roots.
Seven people?!
Did they think this was some kind of marketplace?!
But these weren't ordinary people.
Three were from the Astral Express.
Two were Stellaron Hunters.
One was a Luofu Cloud Knight.
And one was a golden-haired, blue-eyed man.
Despite their numbers, they showed no intention of joining the fight.
Instead, they stood at the back, watching like spectators—
As if they were just waiting for snacks and drinks.
March 7th surveyed the surroundings first, then waved excitedly.
"Dan Heng! We're here to cheer you on!"
"I even downloaded the full version of your OST from Yu Ling!"
Without hesitation, she blasted the song at full volume.
"Go all out!"
"No one can defeat you in your own theme music!"
Dan Heng: "..."
Jing Yuan tilted his head, seriously questioning whether March 7th and the others were here just to mess around.
This was a battle against the Antimatter Legion!
One wrong move, and it could lead to catastrophe!
"Could you all… not do this?" Jing Yuan sighed.
But instead of stopping, Stelle took an excited step forward.
"Don't worry, General!"
"I've got '[Heaven and Earth a Chessboard]' too!"
"You also have your own BGM!"
Jing Yuan: "..."
Suddenly—
Both March 7th and Stelle's devices went silent.
A pixelated doodle of Silver Wolf's face popped up on their screens—[Program Unresponsive].
Silver Wolf scoffed. "This is the final boss fight, and you two are acting like kids."
"If you ask me…"
"You should be playing the boss's theme music!"
"Otherwise, how do you build tension and excitement?!"
With a few quick keystrokes, she spliced, compiled, and copied the BGM from Xiao Guizi's livestream—
And instantly, Phantylia's battle theme, "Phantylia The Undying", blared across the battlefield.
The atmosphere immediately intensified!
But Phantylia didn't appreciate the musical accompaniment.
All she felt was sheer disrespect.
"Pathetic insects… Perish here!"
A massive black flame erupted from her palm, hurtling toward the group.
She would erase these insolent humans in one strike!
But—
Blade's pupils narrowed.
Instead of dodging, he leaped straight into the fire, as if welcoming death.
Just before the flames consumed him—
His sword flashed.
A single slash—
And the black fire split apart.
But he wasn't done.
A second slash.
A third.
Phantylia's defensive lotus barriers shattered instantly.
The sword strikes reached her body, sending her staggering—
Her eyes rolled back.
Below, Jing Yuan's golden "Divine Foresight" manifested behind Phantylia.
With a single thrust, it impaled her torso.
"Dan Heng—"
Before Jing Yuan could even finish, Dan Heng was already moving.
A colossal water dragon materialized, its crimson-eyed gaze locking onto Phantylia's crumbling form.
With a deafening roar, it struck the final blow.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Yet, the four of them moved in perfect sync—as if they had trained together for years.
Phantylia didn't even get a chance to counterattack.
Her newly forged body was obliterated.
"Tch—"
Silver Wolf turned off the BGM in disappointment.
"I even prepped your theme, and you go down faster than the in-game version?"
"You didn't even reach Phase Two!"
All that remained was Phantylia's true form—a flickering golden flame, adrift like a rootless dandelion.
She looked utterly stunned.
The sheer disparity was too much to process.

Meanwhile, in Xiao Guizi's Livestream…
Guinaifen was battling Phantylia under the same BGM.
She had just barely managed to deplete the boss's first health bar.
Taking a deep breath, she muttered:
"Flicking her fingers, waving her fan… She really treats us like bugs, huh?"
"She doesn't even take us seriously!"
"I can't believe—"
Then, with just 1% HP left—
Jing Yuan's turn arrived.
"The Cloud Knights… will prevail!"
(His skill even had special battle dialogue!)
Phase One ended.
Phantylia, now serious, raised her hand to the sky.
"To crush insects… nothing is more fitting than dropping a star upon them."
A fiery rift tore open in the cosmos—
And an actual star, glowing crimson, descended.
Beneath the party's feet—
A second, pale gray star materialized.
The next moment—
The two celestial bodies collided, eclipsing each other in a cataclysmic fusion.
The entire team was erased in the annihilation of two stars.
Phantylia's silhouette loomed against the cosmic backdrop, gripping the twin stars in her hands—
Before crushing them into a glittering asteroid belt.
Guinaifen's jaw dropped.
[Chat]
"This… this attack?!"
"Did she just summon stars, or create them?!"
"This is straight-up planetary destruction! How are we supposed to fight this?!"
"Is this the power of a true Emanator?!"
"She just shattered a star?!"
"I'm dead. I'm so dead."
"Worth it. That animation was legendary."
Silver Wolf: "Attention, players! This is just in-game special effects! Our planet has NOT actually been crushed by Phantylia!"
