The Demon Lord's Army continued pouring out through the gates of the Tower of Stars, as if the tower led to another universe and the demon army from the other world would never run out. Hao Ren had previously thought that this giant tower, with its diameter of a hundred meters, was extraordinarily spacious, but only now did he realize that in front of an army of a hundred thousand—especially with half of them being giant creatures—the Tower of Stars was nowhere near large enough to serve as a passage. He was even somewhat grateful for the white beam fired earlier by the Elder Council. That mysterious weapon had blasted open the top of the Tower of Stars; otherwise, demons on the level of an Abyssal Lord would have had trouble squeezing through the tower's gates.
It was said that when many enormous demons tried to invade other worlds, they died after getting stuck in the portals. Their upper bodies would be wedged in the doorway while dozens of human heroes hacked away at their faces with knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, and hooks. They died one after another in truly miserable states, and after their families brought the corpses home, they could only identify them by their backsides... Oh, that was getting off topic.
The commanders of the Demon Lord's Army set up formations on several floating platforms around the Tower of Stars, reorganizing their troops and familiarizing themselves with the situation in this space. Lanina and several high-ranking officers, meanwhile, followed Hao Ren and the others to the palace serving as a temporary command post. The surviving leaders of the Demon Hunters gathered with the commanders of the Demon Lord's Army. Although they had met before and fought side by side once, the atmosphere was still somewhat awkward.
