"Of course, Fu Yan's help was not without cost. She and Xueyi agreed that as long as they helped everyone defeat Phantylia, Xueyi would report to the Ten-Lords Commission on her behalf, helping her regain her freedom."

"Although Phantylia is powerful, his weakness is his childlike nature. His only obsession is the General's victory or defeat. To take him down, it only takes three sentences."

"With that, she borrowed Star's body to reach a high place and began shouting towards Phantylia, who was shrouded above Fyxestroll Garden."

""Phantylia! Phantylia! It's still early for your duel with the General, how about we settle the score first?"

"A faint voice came from a distance, gradually becoming clear in the wind, with a hint of disbelief in its words: "You are... Fu Yan? Little toy, why do you think you can compete with me?"

""I have turned the garden into a battlefield, turning the Ten-Lords Commission's lackeys into puppets! I just need the General to arrive, and we can restart that battle from back then. Why would I confront my own kind at this time?"

"Fu Yan scoffed that what Phantylia controlled were just a motley crew, and then started bragging about herself: "By chance, I have possessed an excellent chess piece—an excellent chess piece that once drove away Phantylia!"

""...Phantylia?...Phantylia! I remember now! I remember now! I want such a good chess piece too!" Phantylia was indeed like a child, wanting any interesting toy he saw.

""You can send the Nether Messengers under your command to find me. If you can defeat this The Nameless Guest I am occupying, I will willingly be devoured by you and contribute a hand to your great battle against the General. What do you think?"

""It's a deal! My chess pieces and I are coming to find you now!"

Chainsaw Man.

"Hahahaha, Phantylia that idiot is too funny! He's even easier to deal with than you, Denji!"

Watching Phantylia in the light screen being hooked by Fu Yan like a fish, Power slapped her thigh and laughed so hard she was bending over: "When can I, the great Power, encounter such an idiotic type! Hmm... but I probably won't encounter one now, right? Even demons this idiotic would be killed immediately."

"Hey, hey! Power, why are you dragging me into this?" Denji, sitting across the dining table, protested to Power while opening a can of beef.

"It's all because you're so stupid you'd be tricked by that bad woman Makima! Hmph hmph... If you had even one-tenth of my intelligence, that woman wouldn't have been able to handle you."

Power propped her chin with her finger, a smug smirk curving her lips: "If I, the great Power, were Phantylia, I would just possess Fu Xuan, Yukong, Bai Lu, and Qingque! Then I'd force the General to show up!"

"Don't even think about it, you're no match for the General."

"Who said anything about going head-to-head with the General? I, the great Power, will take Fu Xuan and the others as hostages. If the General doesn't listen, I'll kill them. As long as I can control the General... I, the great Power, can walk sideways on the Xianzhou Loufu."

"When that time comes, I, the great Power, can eat meat every day, raise the consumption tax on the Xianzhou Loufu to 100%, and then lead a fleet to rob the Interastral Peace Corporation, becoming the richest evil... no, Sui Yang in the galaxy! Hahaha! And then I'll put a bounty on Kafka!"

"Huh? What does that have to do with Kafka?" Denji just felt that Power's daydream was really jumping around.

"Of course it's because she's so much like Makima!" Thinking of Makima, Power always felt a chill run down her spine, and her body shivered uncontrollably: "I, the great Power, don't want to see anyone in the galaxy who resembles her!"

"Of course~ if that day really comes, Denji... I, the great Power, can approve you to rub breasts, whether it's Yukong, Fu Xuan, or Bai Lu, even if you want to rub Jing Yuan's chest, I, the great Power, will allow it~"

"Tch, I'm not interested in guys."

Although he said that, when it came to rubbing breasts, Denji's face couldn't help but turn red.

"Denji, for such a good thing, I, the great Power, thought of you first, you know? Shouldn't you be eternally grateful to me?" Like a little girl waiting for praise, Power couldn't help but shake her head and sway.

"Oh, thanks." Denji replied perfunctorily.

"You're welcome." Power chuckled, and the next second, a blood fork suddenly appeared in her hand. With lightning speed, she forked all the beef from Denji's can, stringing it together like barbecue.

Then, right in front of Denji, she threw both the fork and the meat into her mouth.

"Consider it your sincerity, Denji. I, the great Power, won't forget you if that opportunity arises... if it does."

"Next was to face the colleagues manipulated by Phantylia. This made Huohuo hesitant to act. Xueyi was silent for a moment, then pulled the two aside and handed a magic artifact to Star."

"The magic artifact was called the 'Hidden Moon Gourd', specifically used to contain split Sui Yang. In addition, she also hoped that Star could protect Huohuo well and also show mercy to the Ten-Lords Commission's colleagues."

"After explaining everything, Xueyi and Huohuo went their separate ways. After suppressing all the Sui Yang, they would meet up and enter the 'Binding and Exorcising Array' at Qingqiu Terrace together."

"Along the way, Huohuo asked Fu Yan curiously: "Phantylia's Power is so great, why would he so easily split himself?"

"Fu Yan just chuckled at this: "The more powerful one is, the more carelessly they will look down on their opponent... On the contrary, sometimes weakness is the way to survive."

"Along the way, Star and the others indeed encountered many Nether Messengers possessed by Phantylia, but the possession clearly didn't strengthen the physical resistance of their heads. Star knocked them all out with two swings of her rod, and collecting the Sui Yang was also very easy."

"Before long, one gourd was almost full."

"The two went to Qingqiu Terrace as agreed. Huohuo saw Xueyi with Guinaifen from a distance."

"Huohuo was relieved that Guinaifen was safe, but as soon as she took out the magic artifact, Guinaifen said she wanted to see the Ten-Lords Commission's demon-exorcising tool up close. tail immediately reacted and was about to tell Huohuo to stay away and not let her get close... but it was too late."

"Guinaifen snatched the magic artifact, a blue light flashing in her eyes, and actually swung the gourd high—"Bang!"

"The jade-like gourd instantly shattered, and streams of eerie blue flames gushed out from the fragments, beginning to condense in mid-air. The Sui Yang's voice, hidden in the wind and intermittent, echoed excitedly above Fyxestroll Garden, the biting cold wind whipping everyone's clothes."
