After the initial shock of the Divine Attendant's death, the remaining Divine Attendants were even more horrified to realize that they did not know the extent of Valefor's strength.
However, at the very least, they knew he was someone they had no chance of defeating. Even escaping from him would be highly difficult, given their proximity.
The Divine Attendants were at Valefor's mercy.
Valefor had only demonstrated his power twice, but he had already suppressed the Divine Attendants to the point of suffocation. Not even the three Half-step Rank 6 Divine Beings among them could react to his killing move, not to mention it was a very casual one.
The disparity between them was like heaven and earth.
Most of the Divine Attendants' hearts were shaken when they realized they could all die if they weren't careful with their next words.
Keeva Discord took a deep breath to calm her nerves before re-evaluating Valefor.
"Do you realize what you have done? You have killed a representative of another star realm, a Peak Rank 6 Divine Being under the Witch of Plague Calamity, no less. Your reckless action is equivalent to a declaration of war. However, even if Nightmare doesn't do anything, you have disobeyed the Skymagia Royal Family's decree and earned their wrath. Do you get it? You have doomed yourself and everyone around you!"
At first, Keeva Discord spoke very carefully, reminding Valefor about the consequences of his actions. However, seeing his inaction, the more she said, she regained some of her confidence.
Unfortunately, she had overestimated Valefor's insanity. When she saw Valefor raise his hand, her entire being screamed with danger.
"Nooo—!"
Puchi!
With another flick of Valefor's middle finger, another arrow of concentrated asura power pierced Keeva's forehead and incinerated her body and soul, killing her effortlessly like the last one.
Even a Half-step Rank 7 Divine Being could not resist Valefor's execution.
"You—!!"
The other two Half-step Rank 7 Divine Beings glared at Valefor with helpless rage, despair, and horror.
From their perspective, Keeva Discord had spoken very reasonably. She was neither overbearing nor humble. Yet, she was still killed.
In front of a madman like Valefor, they simply could not reason at all.
"Since she said I have doomed myself and the people around me, why should I still let you all leave this realm alive?" Valefor grinned coldly, sending chills down the Divine Attendants' spines.
In that instant, the Divine Attendants all realized Valefor had intended to kill them all from the start. The hatred buried deep in his eyes appeared to be directed at their specific kind.
However, the Divine Attendants couldn't understand when and how their realm made such a terrifying enemy.
Still, they understood that they were going to die regardless of what they said. As such, they only had one thought, no matter how hopeless it seemed: Flee!
Clover and Estrella simultaneously sent voice transmissions to the other Divine Attendants and starship crew under the deck, instructing them to prepare for escape. The moment they gave the signal to ignite the thrusters on full throttle, they immediately guarded against Valefor's attack.
Unfortunately, if Valefor wanted them to stay, then they wouldn't be able to leave.
Valefor's manifested asura power gripped the red starship like a telekinetic hand, preventing it from soaring into the sea of stars. At the same time, his asura power continued to overlap in layers, strengthening his hold over the red starship while creating an inescapable cage.
As the red starship's thrust power increased, so did the Valefor's tightening grasp.
The Divine Attendants were forced to reinforce the starship's shield with their combined power to avoid getting squeezed to death. After all, they had nowhere else to go once they were trapped within Valefor's cage.
Unfortunately, even their combined powers could not stop Valefor's shrinking cage from crushing their shield and starship altogether.
