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

The video continues.

"Xiao Shi, what exactly is the power you led us to receive?" Fu Hua asked Xiao Shi.

"You mean this? The power I took you to see is the Phoenix Force, but whether you can gain its recognition, I don't know!"

"The Phoenix Force?"

Fu Hua and Chi Yuan asked, since they had never heard of this thing before.

"It's normal that you don't know, after all, this is the power you will awaken unexpectedly in the future. The origin of the Phoenix Power is quite significant, but you will find out later."

Just as everyone was wondering what the Phoenix Force was, an introduction to the Phoenix Force appeared on the screen.

The Phoenix Force originates from the primordial universe, born at the beginning of all things. It is a chaotic yet immortal, eternal yet impermanent existence, a child of the universe. It is the embodiment of life and spiritual power in the primordial universe, symbolizing life and emotion.

It is the link between the spirits and minds of all things existing or to exist in the infinite multiverse; it is the creator and source of spiritual power. It is the reservoir and controller of the life and emotional energy of future generations throughout the infinite multiverse.

As the link between the minds of all life forms in the infinite multiverse, it possesses powerful spiritual energy and can perform all kinds of psychic abilities, such as telepathy and teleportation at the infinite multiverse level.

It can have multiple different hosts, but the extent to which its power is exerted is determined by the host. However, the Phoenix Force will also intensify the host's desires; those with weak wills will become the Black Phoenix.

"Is the Phoenix Force that strong? Class monitor, do you have it?"

Kiana didn't understand it, but she knew from the description that it was very powerful, so she asked Fu Hua.

"I...no, I've never even heard of such a thing!"

Fu Hua shook her head immediately, because if she had that thing, she would have destroyed the Honkai long ago.

"However, the Phoenix Force is a double-edged sword! It requires a strong will. Otherwise, if a villain obtains such power, he might harm the world."

Fu Hua thought to herself, although she didn't know what the Black Phoenix meant, becoming the Black Phoenix was definitely not a good thing.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Sirin Has Grown Up Completely

"The Phoenix Force? My old friend from a parallel world actually obtained such power!"

Otto felt like a frog in a well, completely ignorant of anything about the universe shown in the video.

"It seems we need to increase our exploration of the universe in the future, and we should develop the aviation industry more when we get back!"

"The power of the Phoenix? I wonder if I can withstand it!"

Kevin was very curious about the Phoenix Force. After all, any power that could help him defeat the Honkai was a good power. He just didn't know how much willpower it would take to withstand the Phoenix Force.

In the video, Xiao Shi also brought Fu Hua and Chi Yuan to their destination.

"Which of you two old fogies is going?"

Xiao Shi looked at the flames ahead and said to Fu Hua and Chi Yuan.

"Weren't you together?"

"Old fogey, you're dreaming!" Xiao Shi directly mocked Fu Hua, "The Phoenix Force is the link between the spirits and minds of all things that exist or will exist in the future in the infinite multiverse. It is the creator and source of spiritual power. You want to buy one and get one free with such a powerful force?"

"You two are essentially the same person, one from the past and the other from the future. Therefore, only one of you can obtain the Phoenix Power. Make your decision now!"

"This……"

“Go ahead, I don’t need it!” said Chi Yuan. “You come from the future, and it seems there are many troubles waiting for you there. You need it more than I do.”

"Okay... thank you!"

Fu Hua considered the potential troubles ahead and agreed.

What should we do next?

“Old antique, all you need to do is touch this ball of flame in front of you. The power of the phoenix symbolizes life and emotions. It has no physical form; it is an intangible thing. The flame in front of you is just the image of the power of the phoenix in our eyes.”

Xiao Shi seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, old antique, this is just a fragment of the Phoenix Power, and it's only enough for you to use once, but it's enough for you to get through this crisis."

"Once is enough, I just need to defeat Sirin!"

Fu Hua didn't ask why it could only be used once, after all, she was still wary of the Phoenix Force, a power of unknown origin.

Fu Hua touched the flames, and the flames immediately entered her body. Just as Fu Hua was wondering what was going on, an intense burning sensation appeared all over her body. Flames appeared all over Fu Hua's body, making her look like a human torch.

"How is this going?"

"Obtaining the Phoenix Force isn't easy! Even if this is just a fragment of the Phoenix Force, the old antique is only adapting to his current state. With his willpower, he can endure it. Let's wait here!"

Xiao Shi asked Chi Yuan calmly, expressing her complete confidence in Fu Hua's ability to pull through.

"That's the only way!"

Chi Yuan had no choice but to stand aside with Xiao Shi and wait for Fu Hua to receive the power of the phoenix.

The scene then shifts to the outside, where the battle between Sirin and Apocalypse has reached its climax.

"Boom!!"

The two fists collided, and the energy released instantly turned into a blazing torrent of fire that exploded in the air. The terrifying shockwave from the massive explosion spread in all directions.

The massive explosion also completely engulfed the two people, and the blinding light illuminated the earth. Before the flames could dissipate, the two "meteors," one black and one purple, were sent flying backward.

"Death!"

Seeing that she had no advantage in the hand-to-hand combat, Sirin directly used her powers, sending countless spacetime blades piercing towards Apocalypse from multiple angles.

Faced with the incoming spacetime blade, Apocalypse did not dodge but advanced, and the death aura that appeared all around directly turned the spacetime blade into ashes.

With a wave of his hand, Apocalypse unleashed countless black beams of light that attacked Sirin, directly shattering her imaginary shield and striking her.

"What a troublesome force!"

Sirin looked at the spot where Apocalypse had struck; it had been corroded by the black energy and was spreading, and even the Tranquility Gem couldn't heal it.

Sirin then activated the Reality Stone to restore the corroded area, looking at Apocalypse with a suspicious expression.

However, she was also preparing to fight back. Sirin raised her left hand, and a purple energy ball suddenly appeared in her hand, with bursts of lightning arcs shooting out in all directions and spreading instantly.

The dark clouds that had been dispersed by the two gathered again, and thunder surged at that moment.

The thunder, with its overwhelming force, surged like a tidal wave, its blinding light staining the sky.

A surge of Honkai energy erupted from Sirin's body, the temperature quietly rose, and the sound of boiling rain echoed in the void, with countless plumes of steam rising from the ground.

The scorching heat distorted everyone's vision, and spheres flashing with blinding light appeared—these were no ordinary spheres.

It's not a ball of lightning, it's plasma!

Plasma, also known as electroporation, is an ionized gaseous substance composed of positive and negative ions produced by the ionization of atoms and atomic groups after some electrons have been stripped away.

Macroscopically neutral ionized gases with a scale larger than the Debye length are primarily governed by electromagnetic forces and exhibit significant collective behavior.

It is widely present in the universe and is often regarded as the fourth state of matter, apart from solid, liquid, and gas.

Under the influence of air pressure, voltage, and magnetic field, energy is concentrated and condensed, and almost all matter in the space can reach an ionic state.

At this point, the temperature of the plasma is at least in the five digits, with no upper limit or a very high upper limit; the temperature of the sun's plasma is in the hundreds of millions of degrees.

Sirin wasn't originally capable of this, but with the enhancements of the Mind Stone, Soul Stone, and Power Stone, she was able to successfully manipulate plasma.

While this attack might not be enough to burn glass across the entire Earth's surface, it would certainly devastate Siberia and the surrounding regions.

"Cirin, you really surprised me!"

Apocalypse was also somewhat surprised to see the surrounding plasma. Had this pufferfish actually grown to this extent?

However, Tianqi was unwilling to see Xilin use this move. Although it couldn't kill her yet, if Xilin were to use it, countless people would probably die, which did not align with Jiuxiao's wishes.

Just as Apocalypse was about to stop Sirin, he discovered that the distance between them had not shortened.

"Hmm, interesting!"

Apocalypse could immediately sense the anomaly in the space. This was because Sirin had used her spatial powers to infinitely stretch the space between them, preventing Apocalypse from getting close to her and buying her time to unleash her ultimate attack.

"Unfortunately, it's useless!"

The black mist emanating from Apocalypse spread out, directly corroding the surrounding space. Death is absolute, and aging is also a part of death; it is unavoidable. This is an absolute truth in the world. Even the universe cannot escape the ultimate fate of decay, only it is very long. The space used by Sirin is even less likely to escape aging.

Of course, there are also extremely powerful beings who can postpone death indefinitely; as to how long this delay lasts, that depends on how strong the being is.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Time for Wave Counting

However, Sirin never expected to stop Apocalypse; she only needed to buy some time. By the time Apocalypse broke free, Sirin had achieved her goal.

While temporarily trapping Apocalypse, Sirin used the Time Stone to accelerate the accumulation of plasma, and now it's done.

"Apocalypse! Die!"

Sirin slowly raised her delicate hand holding the plasma. The lightning surrounding Sirin, which obscured her vision, began to explode wildly. The howling wind roared like the lament of space, as if the most extreme and cruel killing intent was evolving in the roar of the vast energy!

The intense killing intent illuminated the darkness, and the rain in the sky over Siberia evaporated and vaporized in an instant, turning into scalding hot mist that rose up as if the land were parched for a century.

The world seemed to be facing its final judgment as the largest lightning spear formed from plasma struck directly at Apocalypse.

Looking at the thunder that was coming with a chilling killing intent, Tianqi was also somewhat doubtful. After all, she was currently using Jiuxiao's body, and the power she could use was limited. Moreover, she was also here to protect those humans.

Under normal circumstances, she should have dodged the attack directly, but her contract with Jiuxiao, besides saving Xilin, also required her to protect the humans and reduce casualties.

If I had dodged this attack, everything in its path would have been annihilated back into the void and chaos, leaving only a shard of burnt glass.

A violent force surged in the air, and endless death energy gathered. Apocalypse condensed it into dark red lightning to fight against it, with two lightning spears, one dark red and one dark purple, clashing together.

Its confrontation was like a miniature sun; the earth-shattering explosion and supersonic shockwave swept away everything in the sky. With rings of lightning expanding around it, a gigantic mushroom cloud rose into the sky from the center of the confrontation!

The battle between Apocalypse and Sirin had completely numbed everyone in the space except Kevin and Fu Hua. The earth-shattering battle was beyond their imagination; it was as if gods were fighting.

"If our world's Second Herrscher had this kind of power, we might as well just give up and go to sleep during the Second Honkai Impact and wait to die!"

Theresa said that the fight between the two above was too outrageous; they were using their ultimate moves like basic attacks, so they couldn't win at all.

"This is outrageous! Isn't the Herrscher of the Void supposed to be good at spatial abilities? How come her lightning is so powerful?!" Kiana exclaimed.

"Well... maybe Sirin doesn't want to use it!" Mei didn't know why she felt uncomfortable seeing Sirin use lightning like that, as if it was someone showing off in her area of ​​expertise.

"Is electromagnetic force used this strongly?"

Bronya thought to herself, glancing furtively at Raiden Mei. She knew that the Conqueror's Gem was inside Raiden Mei's body. If Raiden Mei used electromagnetic force in the same way, Cocolia's mother's plan would probably be ruined.

While Apocalypse and Sirin were exchanging blows, the crowd below was in a bad state. After all, as the saying goes, gods and mortals are more likely to suffer. Under such powerful attacks, it's not even worth watching; just surviving would be a feat.

Now, Sirin's spatial blockade has become a form of protection for everyone. However, judging from the cracks appearing around them, everyone knows that the spatial blockade won't last long.
