Hypergenesis question

so with hypergenesis is casted could you let the ability of the spell resolve allowing you to put a creature artifact enchantment or land out and in response to doing so use something with split second like krosen grip and the stack end and other players not be able to use it or would it just allow them to not react to you playing the card from hypergenesis and then it would continue to them being able to put something out
Also questions like these should be submitted in the MTG Q&A section, for the future.

Questions like this should be asked in the Q&A.
Please link all cards in your question.
Hypergenesis
Krosan Grip
Hypergenesis 's only ability is suspend. When it resolves, it has effects that are applied, but those aren't abilities.
No players have priority during the resolution of a spell or ability. Once a spell or ability begins to resolve, it resolves completely before players receive priority to do anything else. Therefore, you can't cast Krosan Grip in the middle of Hypergenesis 's resolution. It also means that players can't respond to choices made during Hypergenesis 's resolution.
Additionally, split second doesn't end the stack. If you cast a spell with split second, then players can't cast spells or activate nonmana abilities until the spell with split second resolves or leaves the stack.

First, it's always easiest to link the cards you're talking about Hypergenesis , Krosan Grip .
The situation you described would play out like this:
You cast Hypergenesis , and then, with Hypergenesis on the stack, you cast Krosan Grip . Grip's Split Second makes it so nobody can cast further spells or activate abilities.
Krosan Grip resolves, so the effect of Split Second is no longer active (it only works while it's still on the stack). Both players can now cast spells and/or activate abilities.
If your opponent wishes to respond to Hypergenesis , they may now do so. Because it hasn't resolved, they may still counter it or respond to it in some other way.
Hypergenesis resolves, and both players take turns placing appropriate permanents onto the battlefield. All of this happens as the resolution of one spell.
Once Hypergenesis has fully resolved and both players are done putting things into play, any triggered abilities of those permanents are placed on the stack. Players may now continue to cast spells or activate abilities as normal.
Note that you cannot cast spells or activate abilities during the resolution of Hypergenesis . Once it begins resolving, it will continue to resolve until neither player puts a card into play using its effect. Neither player gets to cast spells or activate abilities during this resolution.

Once Hypergenesis begins to resolve, starting with you, each player puts an artifact, creature, enchantment or land card into play from his or her hand, then the process repeats. Whilst Hypergenesis is resolving no player receives priority to cast spells or activate abilities, until it has finished resolving. This happens when no one puts a card into play.
The cards being put into play are not cast, they're simply put onto the battlefield as part of Hypergenesis 's effect.
After Hypergenesis has finished resolving, assuming it's your turn and you're the one who cast it, you'll get priority and may cast Krosan Grip on an artifact or enchantment.
There's no way for you to interrupt the spell whilst it's resolving.
