After Divine Venerable Miao Bo assisted his research, Saine led troops toward the Water Mirror Civilization battlefield alongside Bai Xing and Hela, while Befu rejoined them.

• Divine Venerable Miao Bo and the Pure World White Lotus asked Saine to help Water Mirror Civilization, and Saine agreed to dispatch Mechanical Civilization forces while leaving open the possibility of deploying his true body.

• Befu returned at Peak Half-Level-9 and set out to join Saine, while the Destruction Divine Kingdom sent powerful fighters along her route.
• Rose prepared to follow the Mechanical Civilization Army, and the Despair Matriarch assigned Andariel to guard her and gave Andariel a Dimension Supreme Treasure lampstand.

After the Crimson Flame Civilization withdrew, the Dark Universe Time-Space forces concentrated on the Water Mirror Civilization, leaving the Sea Mirror Woman and its other powerful fighters in dire straits. Saine arrived with the Mechanical Civilization Army and was urged to enter the Mirror World and help turn the battle.

• The Crimson Flame Civilization withdrew from the frontline, leaving the Water Mirror Civilization to face the Dark Universe Time-Space forces alone.
• Three Level-11 enemies besieged the Sea Mirror Woman, while Water Ice Holy Venerable and Bing Xin were also under heavy attack.
• The Sea Mirror Woman trapped her attackers inside the Mirror World, but Dark Rule contaminated much of her domain and the Mirror Maze.
• Saine arrived with the Mechanical Civilization Army and saw the Mirror World battle obscured by its rules and the Dark Rule.
• Divine Venerable Miao Bo urgently asked Saine and his companions to help, emphasizing that Saine's Half-step Level-11 combat power could affect the fight.

Saine brought the Mechanical Civilization Legion to Water Mirror Civilization’s battlefield but chose a remote Mirror World to pursue his research rather than directly join the fighting. His presence unsettled Dark Universe Time-Space’s forces and eased pressure on the Sea Mirror Woman, while he entered the Mirror World to study its rules and the Sea Mirror Woman’s Mirror Maze.

• Saine led the Mechanical Civilization Legion to the battlefield’s outer edge, while forces from the Destruction Divine Kingdom followed and made Dark Universe Time-Space’s commanders wary.
• The Dark God Envoy checked that the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s main army was not intervening, then intensified his attack on Bing Xin and summoned the Yin God Envoy for support.

• Saine led attendants into a deep blue Mirror World, where he studied its Mirror Rule crystals and the Rule Source Power produced by the Sea Mirror Woman’s Mirror Maze.

Saine conducted research on the Mirror Rule inside the Sea Mirror Woman’s Mirror Maze while his forces offered only limited support as her territory fell under attack. The Nether God Envoy’s arrival worsened the Water Mirror Civilization’s plight, and Old Man Tianmie joined the assault on the Sea Mirror Woman, leaving her fighting four enemies.

• The Nether God Envoy joined the fight against Bing Xin, while the Sword Demon chose to attack the Water Ice Holy Venerable instead of the weaker Sea Mirror Woman.
• Old Man Tianmie flew to the Sea Mirror Woman’s battlefield, leaving her in a desperate fight against four opponents.

Old Man Tianmie joined the siege of the Sea Mirror Woman, corroding two of her Mirror Worlds and worsening her fight against four Level-11 enemies. In Saine’s Mirror World, a Dark Big Bird and its troops stumbled into the Mechanical Civilization’s forces and were trapped as the defenders launched an attack.

• Old Man Tianmie attacked the Sea Mirror Woman’s Mirror Worlds, corroding two Top-Level Plane-sized worlds and weakening her rule support.
• The Sea Mirror Woman drew Old Man Tianmie into her central Mirror World, but she remained badly outnumbered as her worlds fell to death and darkness.
• A Level-10 Dark Big Bird entered Saine’s Mirror World and discovered Saine, the Pure World White Lotus, and Divine Venerable Miao Bo.
• The Pure World White Lotus trapped the Dark Big Bird, and Saine allowed Divine Venerable Miao Bo to join the battle.
• Silver Knight, Di'ersi Jia, Little White, Madam Befu, and other Mechanical Civilization fighters attacked the Dark Big Bird, two Level-9 creatures, and their troops.

Saine recognized that the Dark Universe Time-Space had sent a Level-10 Dark Big Bird to test the Destruction Divine Kingdom’s stance, while its leaders used the battle against the Water Mirror Civilization to trade for strategic gains. Meanwhile, Destruction Demon God Locke, bored on his throne, turned his attention toward the distant main battlefield.

• Saine identified the Dark Big Bird as a member of the same Super Civilization as the fallen Dark Seagull and realized a Level-11 Being had ordered it to investigate the Destruction Divine Kingdom and test the Mechanical Civilization.
• Saine and the Dark Universe Time-Space maintained an unspoken arrangement: Saine would not interfere with the siege, while the Dark Universe Time-Space effectively sacrificed the unsupported Level-10 Dark Big Bird.

• Locke remained on the Destruction Divine Throne, bored while Carrot and the Despair Matriarch recovered and his wives tended to their own affairs.
• Locke looked toward the Water Mirror Civilization’s main battlefield, and amusement appeared in his eyes.

Destruction Demon God Locke sent an obscure emotional Rule Origin fluctuation toward Sword Demon while watching the Water Mirror Civilization battlefield. There, Saine observed Sword Demon push the Water Ice Holy Venerable into peril as the defender showed signs of breaking through to Level-11 Late-Stage.

• Sword Demon’s arrival threatened the Water Ice Holy Venerable, who began showing signs of a breakthrough under pressure.
• The Water Ice Holy Venerable expanded the power of Heavenly Water to block attacks, but Sword Demon summoned his Demon Sword and caused the surrounding energy to stagnate.

Saine noticed unnatural discrepancies in the battlefield data but could not determine their cause, while the Sword Demon entered a new state and turned his attacks against nearby allies as well as Water Ice Holy Venerable. Water Ice Holy Venerable prepared to make a final stand as the surrounding battlefields continued to worsen.

• Saine detected subtle, seemingly unnatural random values in the Magic Cube and Skynet's data and focused his attention on the Sword Demon's battlefield, but Vengeful Queen Andariel sensed nothing unusual.
• Inspired by Kakarot's strength, the Sword Demon questioned whether he would keep stagnating and resolved to choose a new mountain to climb.
• The Sword Demon roared "Demon Sword!" and swept his blade toward Water Ice Holy Venerable and two nearby Level-11 allies, who suspected he had fallen into demonic madness.
• The Sword Demon unleashed Heavenly Demon Dance, and his attacks wounded Water Ice Holy Venerable while overwhelming the two allied combatants.
• Water Ice Holy Venerable thought of the Water Mirror Civilization Legion's worsening position and the Sea Mirror Woman's peril, then awakened the deep blue Rule Halo of Heavenly Water and vowed to forge eternal ice with his body.

Sword Demon disrupted the Water Mirror Civilization battle by challenging Nether God Envoy, giving Bing Xin God Envoy and Water Ice Holy Venerable a chance to begin retreating. Sea Mirror Woman sought refuge with Saine and the others as the battlefield remained perilous.

• Water Ice Holy Venerable burned his Life Source Power and unleashed a surge of ice rules while Sword Demon welcomed the escalating fight.
• Sword Demon sent his Demon Sword toward Nether God Envoy and left his battlefield to challenge him to resume their unfinished duel.

• Sea Mirror Woman decided her best chance was with Saine and the others, leaped toward them, and offered to help.

The Sea Mirror Woman fled into the Mirror World where Saine and the Mechanical Civilization forces were fighting, drawing pursuing Dark Universe Time-Space experts into battle. As the Sword Demon clashed with the Nether God Envoy and the Water Mirror Civilization retreated, Saine’s allies counterattacked, with Divine Venerable Miao Bo rushing to meet the Sea Mirror Woman and a Level-10 protector shielding Befu.

• Pu Lao and Chi Wen joined the battle, while the Level-10 protectors and Andariel prepared to act as the Sea Mirror Woman approached Saine.

• Andariel activated her Human Face Spider Body Rule True Body and approached Saine.

Saine and Vengeful Queen Andariel covered the Mechanical Civilization Army’s retreat while the Sea Mirror Woman was left to face Dark Universe Time-Space’s powerful fighters alone. As her Mirror Worlds dwindled and Water Mirror Civilization’s other forces withdrew, Bing Xin and Water Ice Holy Venerable could only hope she survived.

• Vengeful Queen Andariel joined Saine on the battlefield as Dark Universe Time-Space’s fighters focused their attacks on the Sea Mirror Woman.
• Saine ordered the Mechanical Civilization Army to withdraw and stayed with Vengeful Queen Andariel to deter pursuit, while Water Mirror Civilization’s legions retreated alongside them.
• The Sea Mirror Woman grew increasingly battered as Dark Universe Time-Space’s fighters corroded her Mirror Worlds and reduced them to less than one-tenth of their peak.
• Bing Xin, Water Ice Holy Venerable, and the other Water Mirror Civilization forces withdrew after escaping danger, unable to reach the surrounded Sea Mirror Woman.
• Water Ice Holy Venerable asked Bing Xin what they should do about the Sea Mirror Woman, and Bing Xin said they could only hope she had fortune on her side.

Trapped and nearly powerless, Sea Mirror Woman begged Saine and Vengeful Queen Andariel to help her escape in exchange for defecting to their factions and giving them her Rule Red Thread. Saine and Andariel remained unmoved, leaving Sea Mirror Woman's fate uncertain as the siege continued.

• Sea Mirror Woman, weakened to less than one-tenth of her peak power, remained surrounded by Dark Universe Time-Space’s strong practitioners while Saine and Andariel covered their army’s withdrawal.
• Sea Mirror Woman offered to defect to Mechanical Civilization or the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction and presented her Rule Red Thread as proof of her sincerity.
• Saine doubted the treasure’s claimed influence over powerful beings, and he and Andariel preferred the chance to seize a fragment of the Mirror Maze if Sea Mirror Woman fell.
• Sea Mirror Woman repeatedly increased her offers and even claimed she enjoyed Saine hitting her with the Bronze Coffin, but Saine and Andariel refused to help her.
• Vengeful Queen Andariel showed growing disgust toward Sea Mirror Woman as her pleas continued.

The Sea Mirror Woman began destroying her Mirror Maze as a final counterattack, while Saine weighed whether to help her after learning Locke could reinforce her Rule Red Thread. Saine asked whether her earlier offer to become his female slave had been sincere, and the distraction let a Dark Universe powerhouse stab her through the chest.

• The Sea Mirror Woman despaired of rescue but refused to betray the Light Universe because she feared the consequences for the Water Mirror Civilization.
• She unleashed her remaining power and began collapsing the Mirror Worlds, endangering the Dark Universe army and diminishing the spoils they could claim.
• Saine prepared to seize fragments of the Mirror Maze, but Andariel told him that Locke could reinforce the Rule Red Thread so it could restrain Level-11 Beings.
• Saine asked the Sea Mirror Woman whether all her proposed terms, especially becoming his female slave, had been true.
• The Sea Mirror Woman faltered, and a Level-11 Dark Universe practitioner pierced her chest with the Darkness Flame Blade as the Mirror Worlds shattered.

Saine watched Sea Mirror Woman be battered across the battlefield while withholding help, then finally struck when her Rule True Body had fallen to about sixty percent of its former integrity. He ambushed Old Man Tianmie, who had seized a fragment containing Mirror Maze origin, and suppressed him with the Bronze Coffin Plaque brick.

• Sea Mirror Woman begged Saine for help as Dark Universe Time-Space experts repeatedly shattered her Rule True Body, while Saine and Andariel remained still.
