After the remaining Level-12 Strong Practitioners of Destruction Time-Space fully awakened, the pressure across every battlefield in the entrance zone suddenly soared.
The first to arrive was a colossal destruction creature whose body seemed pieced together from clusters of shattered star-continents.
It was an exceptionally unusual Level-11 Peak Destruction Creature, with overall strength sufficient to rival a Level-12 Strong Practitioner.
Behind it, it actually carried dozens of Shattered Continents burning with black flames, each inhabited by astonishing numbers of Destruction Creatures. The moment it drew near, it drove the continent cluster on its back into the outer defenses of Mechanical Civilization.
Skynet named it the Collapsing-Continent Mountain Bearer.
The second to appear was a figure flying out from a dark-gold crystalline mist—the Star-Extinguishing Bone Phoenix.
Its target was not the bridgehead, but several Rule Anchor Points behind Mechanical Civilization's lines.
The third to appear was the World-Splitting Axe Demon, with a churning sea of black-red clouds beneath its feet.
Within that cloud sea, tens of thousands of faces rose and sank, every one of them letting out a soundless shriek.

Another resembled a gigantic hollow eye. Wherever it passed, large numbers of native Destruction Creatures would voluntarily merge into its body.
Yet another remained hidden deep within the Destruction Crystal Tide, only occasionally revealing several gigantic skeletal wings.
