Murphy had never felt this exhausted before.
Even when he was sealing the subspace rift beneath Base R-9, he hadn't felt as weary as he did now. As he continuously ignited and burned the Divine Spirit of The Master of Hunting, he gained a much deeper understanding of what these gods entailed, and the most direct realization was:
These high-concentration faith aggregates really endure burning...
It's like trying to ignite a piece of coal with a flame; even the continuous stripping ignition required Murphy to focus all his power to suppress it. The Master of Hunting was constantly struggling, and this mental struggle made Murphy feel like he was holding down a fish that kept jumping and would bite.
Maintaining this full-force posture for precisely seven minutes and twenty-one seconds, he finally incinerated the core faith symbol of The Master of Hunting completely.
