Even after three more Archdukes intervened, the Emperor had stubbornly held the upper hand, pushing them back step by step. It was only when the remaining eight Dukes joined the fray, combining their powers in a desperate joint strike, that they finally managed to overpower, batter, and pin down the star emperor.
"You... all of you! Do you even realize what you are doing?!" the Star Emperor roared, thrashing violently against the floor.
He tried to force himself up, but his injuries were far too severe. He could barely lift his torso, let alone gather enough momentum to muster an attack. Even in peak condition, breaking out would have been a fantasy. Pinned under the crushing Aura pressure of four Peak Star Law Realm Archdukes and eight High Star Law Realm Dukes, he knew better than anyone that he had zero margin to build up momentum.
