Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

A burst of golden-red light appeared, and fourteen figures of Shen Jue appeared outside of Earth.

In the airless outer space, the group could only communicate through the power of the Great Sun in the Fourteen Heavens - Crimson Sun Prison Demon Subduing Realm.

"Just put a turtle shell over Earth?" Shen Jue from Slaughter Spire asked a soul-searching question.

In the horror film, Shen Jue once again acts as the narrator: "That's not all."

"The Fourteen Heavens - Crimson Sun Prison Demon Subduing Great Realm can protect Earth from the influence of Hell Star, in addition to..."

"It will also prevent Earth from being struck by meteorites and causing another mass extinction in the upcoming battles."

"Moreover, in order to fly out of the solar system, we would have to confront Hell Star outside of the solar system."

"Without the assistance of the Fourteen Heavens and the Crimson Sun Prison Demon Subduing Great Realm to speed up our journey, by the time we meet the Hell Star..."

"Hellstar has advanced into the solar system."

Behind the many Shen Jue and others, the Earth protected by the Fourteen Heavens·Red Sun Town Prison Demon Subduing Great Realm shines with a brilliance that is almost comparable to the burning sun in the far distance.

"Besides, we have a backup plan," Junji Ito explained at this moment.

"If we fail to defeat Hellstar, I will activate the variant T-virus that has spread throughout all life forms around the world ahead of schedule."

"Let life on Earth undergo a distorted leap, and then, through the parallel spacetime coordinates that have already been found in 'Oshikiri Kaidan,' escape to other parallel worlds in Junji Itō's world."

That's right. When Junji Ito and Shen Jue were capturing the cursed objects and non-human entities, they had already secretly placed Aberration Type II around the world to spread the variant T-virus.

The latent variant T virus has no effect on living organisms, but once Shen Jue activates the mutation switch of the variant T virus...

Then, life forms on the entire globe will undergo a leap in life in a short period of time.

Human society will also transform into a superhuman society amidst chaos and disorder, thereby increasing the survival rate of humanity when Shen Jue takes Earth away during the attack on Hell Star.

"good!"

Pirate King Shen Jue's aura surged forth! The cloak of justice behind him billowed like waves.

"war!"

Fourteen golden-red rays of light, seven of which seemed to pierce through the cold, desolate space, were aided by the Fourteen Heavens Crimson Sun Prison Demon Subduing Great Realm, which contained the light of hope.

Like seven beams of light capable of destroying the world, they flew out of the solar system!

The seven projections of Shen Jue summoned by Junji Ito—Shen Jue from One Piece, Bleach, Horror Movie, Resident Evil, Demon Slayer, Three Kingdoms, and the Late Tang Dynasty—launched an attack on Hell Star.

Shen Jue and his team did not choose the all-in tactic.

Because the Earth in Junji Itō's world was right behind them, half of the group served as a reserve force and a backup plan in case the plan failed.

As for why it was these seven Shen Jue projections that launched the attack on Hell Star, it was naturally the result of discussions among the many Shen Jue.

For the sake of fashion and a sense of mission, plus some of Shen Jue's different personality traits.

Ultimately, amidst the barking protests of the blade and shield wielder, Shen Jue, who was like a big dog, shouting "My blade and shield!", the majority of Shen Jue finalized seven candidates.

The hope of saving the Earth now rests in the hands of these seven projections of Shen Jue.

Death God Shen Jue gave their seven-person team a name: the hope for saving the Earth was called...

THE SEVEN.

Of course, Shen Jue from One Piece took this name as a tribute to THE SEVEN, the superhuman group in The Boys.

Among the many Shen Jue present, not one is a "Homelander Shen Jue".

Then, Death God Shen Jue suggested an alternative name...

Seven Swordsmen Descend from Mount Tian.

But the name is a bit too old, Shen Jue said, shaking his head.

Death God Shen Jue was so angry he gritted his teeth. These guys neither wanted it nor wanted it, leaving him helpless and ultimately forcing him to give up.

Seven golden-red rays of light tore through the cold darkness and the faint light of the universe, piercing the gravity of many planets in the solar system with decisive force.

The seven men raised their fists horizontally, their bodies forming a spear that stretched across the void, leaving the golden-red Earth far behind.

The asteroid belt was ignored by the seven Shen Jue members. The meteorite vaporized instantly upon touching the edge of the golden-red flame, without making a sound.

Jupiter's Great Red Spot swept past them, casting a brief silhouette against the golden-red light before disappearing into the distance.

Saturn's rings were neatly severed by seven sharp arcs, and the shattered ice fragments disintegrated into a silent crystalline mist.

None of them turned around.

The sun had shrunk behind them to an ordinary star.

The sun's bow-shaped shockwave emitted a long roar behind us.

The sound was outside the range of human hearing, yet it truly penetrated the bones and will of the seven people.

This is the solar system's last gravitational slap on their backs—a gesture of farewell and a plea for them to stay.

The guidance of the Fourteen Heavens - Crimson Sun Prison Demon Subduing Great Realm is like a map spread out in the void, marking their route with invisible light patterns.

Seven golden-red beams of light descended along the route ahead of Hellstar's journey.

Finally, with the guidance and assistance of the Fourteen Heavens·Red Sun Town Prison Demon Subduing Great Realm, the seven people saw it.

The hellish star accelerated through the lightless depths of space.

It accelerates on its own, in a way that has no jet nozzles and no energy trails, as if space itself is yielding to it, allowing it to slide into the next abyss.

The light of countless stars in the past reached the surface of Hell Star. These swallowed and distorted lights tore a very fine, flickering shadow around it.

Thus, Shen Jue and his six companions saw the full picture of Hell Star.

That was not a geological planet in the conventional sense.

Planets have a crust, a mantle, and a core.

But Hellstar has none of these things, and its surface is writhing.

The entire surface of the planet is covered with a substance somewhere between keratin and flesh, densely covered with wrinkles like dried-up riverbeds.

Each fold expands and contracts at its own rhythm, like thousands of independent tracheas breathing on their own.

Then Hellstar stuck out its tongue.

The tongue squeezed out from a crack near the equator of the hellish planet.

That tongue was wide enough to scrape up the entire Earth.

The seven people, including Shen Jue, simultaneously received a sweet and rotten message, similar to a mixture of syrup and decaying flesh.

That was Hell Star savoring the golden-red traces of energy they brought with them.

The tongue twirled in mid-air before slowly retracting into the crevice.

Hell Star tasted the power of the Great Sun and the Great Realm of the Fourteen Heavens - Crimson Sun Suppressing Demons.

Then Hellstar opened its eyes.

Above where the tongue retracts, the surface material begins to recede to the sides, revealing a damp base.

An eyeball is embedded in the basal layer.

The eyeball appeared without warning, and the pupil was vertical, long, narrow, and jet black, with the surrounding iris appearing as a necrotic orange-red.

The surface of the eyeball was covered with bursting, blood-red.

The eyeball moved once, then locked onto the location of the seven people.

Hellstar is accelerating; its speed is increasing.

The eyeball, larger than the Earth, locked onto the seven people's location without shifting its course.

And the giant tongue that could lift up the earth re-emerged, with a moist, greasy feel.

Hellstar became interested in the seven.

It discovered something that had not yet been swallowed and was accelerating toward Shen Jue and his group of seven.

As Death God Shen Jue watched the Hell Star, which easily devoured planets, approaching them, his inspiration suddenly burst forth.

"Hey?! I have an idea."

"Since you don't like the names THE SEVEN and Seven Swords Descending from Heaven."

"How about we call it..."

"Invincible Shen Jue".
