Constantine was well aware that if they let Sterl casually throw Celestial Stars around based on their previous power calctions, this mission could end in a devastating victory.


    Few from the Antic Empire would likely survive the conscious space.


    Seeing the general remain calm andposed even in such an advantageous situation, and able to take David''s mockery in stride, further shattered the morale of the NPCs and yers of the Divine Mountain Empire.


    "It''s over! It seems we can''t escape this time."


    "David, can''t you do something? Save us! Aren''t you supposed to have many trump cards?"


    "Even David can''t do anything. A thirdsselite warrior can take at least four or five Celestial Stars head-on without dying. Not to mention, they can fight back!"


    Despair hadpletely set in now.


    At first, they had hoped for a miracle, but the final result left no room for any chance.


    Constantine''s sheer power could crush everything.


    A hint of ruthlessness gradually appeared in many eyes.


    "Let''s take them down with us!"


    "At worst, we''ll self-destruct!"


    "I''ll drag a few down with me before I die!"


    From the tone and expressions of the yers and NPCs of the Divine Mountain Empire, it was clear they were no longer thinking about survival. They only wanted to take a piece out of their enemies before they died.


    However, just as several princes were trembling in fear, Sterl once again used his mastery-level Bloodthirsty Charge to elerate and stand in front of Constantine.


    "I never said you could leave."


    Faced with such an arrogant statement, the general was not angered but delighted.


    "Seeking death!" Constantine could see that "David" had justpleted an eleration skill and was in a very brief vacuum period. It was the perfect time to kill him.


    Thus, the general of the Antic Empire went all out!


    He utilized his trump card, the golden-quality skill [Divine me Drive]! In an instant, mes of nearly every color—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—enveloped Constantine.


    However, despite their imposing appearance, these mes seemed somewhat ethereal. Clearly, without the legendary status to bolster them, the power of the golden skill was far from fully unleashed.


    Nevertheless, this still caused countless NPCs and yers on the side of the Divine Mountain Empire to disy expressions of terror!


    Even an elite third-tier powerhouse, unleashing what could only be considered an enhanced version of a purple-quality ultimate move, remained unstoppable!


    Could it be that David, like the rest of us, thought he was going to die anyway and decided to make a desperate move?


    But crashing into someone else''s ultimate move seems too foolish.


    That would be apletely meaningless death!


    The NPCs and yers from the Divine Mountain Empire could only sigh inwardly. Such a brilliant individual was destined to fall.


    If previously there were still those who harbored reservations about David''s identity as a human yer from Earth, now, in the face of themon enemy that is the Antic Empire, everyone felt a sense of regret!


    "If David doesn''t die today, he will surely be a legend someday!" Many people had this thought sh through their minds in that split second.


    However, Sterl merely smiled faintly.


    He knew his moment to show off had arrived again!


    At this point, Sterl hadpleted another skill upgrade and converted all his remaining Bloodthirsty Power into proficiency for the newly acquired golden-quality skill.


    [Star Point Finger (Gold)]


    [Proficiency: Mastery (142/15000)]


    [Current State: Activated (Two Legendary Points Invested)]


    [Description: A skill of the Celestial Star n once thought to exist only in imagination, now brought to the world by the new Star Lord after countless lost ages.]


    [Effect: Ignores opponent''s defense, delivering a powerful strike with a debilitating effect (opponent cannot recover health through any skills or items).]


    [Legendary Point Enhancements:


    One Legendary Point: Doubles the power of Star Point Finger and significantly drains the opponent''s life force.


    Two Legendary Points: Triples the release speed of Star Point Finger, adds a break move effect, forcibly interrupting any charging skills of the opponent and removing all beneficial statuses. For each interrupted skill and removed beneficial status, Star Point Finger''s power increases by 30%.


    Four Legendary Points (Not Activated)


    Eight Legendary Points (Not Activated)]


    [Celestial Illumination Bonus: Reduces release consumption by half.]


    Sterl was stunned by the stats of Star Point Finger. As a golden-quality skill, it already outperformed purple-quality moves by a significant margin.


    Completely ignoring the opponent''s defenses and preventing any of their recovery abilities, anyone struck by the Star Point Finger would be left either dead or severely crippled.


    And with the legendary activation effect of the Star Point Finger, the damage would be truly astronomical!


    By investing his two Legendary Points, Star Point Finger''s power was doubled, its release speed tripled, and it gained life force drain and break move effects.


    Theyers of power umted in this single-target burst move had reached an unimaginable level.


    As a skill of golden quality, the only drawback of the Star Point Finger was that it consumed 2/3 of Sterl''s current energy upon use. However, the special effects attached to the Star Point Finger under the starlight condition directly mitigated this issue. Additionally, Sterl possessed energy storage potions as a backup power source, allowing him to freely use the Star Point Finger without worry!


    Moreover, Sterl had Stardust, which could enhance this move. Although when enhancing a golden-quality skill, Sterl would receive a system prompt whenever he attempted to use Stardust—


    [Ding! Enhancing skills beyond purple quality will result in a fourfold consumption of Stardust.]


    But since he still had more than twenty thousand units of Stardust on hand, he could afford to use it.


    At this moment, Sterl decisively acted, positioning himself in front of Constantine.


    He was very clear in his mind: with the two points of legend status boosting the Star Point Finger, its speed would be tripled. Even if he failed, he would still have time to activate Bloody Rush to escape.


    By taking action now, Sterl could earn double rewards: the newly issued main quest rewards and the hidden quest rewards from the Fourth Prince''s faction.


    Constantine''s personal targeting of him earlier was, in a way, part of the hidden quest''s requirements. The better he performed, the greater the subsequent risks he would face.


    Seeing Constantine about to leave, Sterl decided to initiate the conflict, ensuring that the risks mentioned in the hidden quest would continue to appear, thus earning him more rewards.


    Naturally, the others present were unaware of all these thoughts. They didn''t have time to ponder, as the sh of moves happened in mere moments.


    Wrapped in seven-colored mes, Constantine charged forward at a terrifying speed, truly driven by Divine me!


    The speed of this move was so fast that even Sterl''s Bloodthirsty Charge couldn''t keep up. The only w was that Constantine couldn''t precisely control his direction due to the sheer speed.


    In the eyes of countless onlookers, the seven-colored mes alone emitted such intense light that many felt their eyes sting, tearing up and shutting their eyes.


    The banquet hall was engulfed in an extreme heat.


    "David''s" small figure seemed about to be swallowed in an instant.


    At that moment, "David" moved. He flicked his finger forward.


    Compared to Constantine''s Divine me-driven charge, David''s action seemed almostughable, appearing incredibly weak.


    Due to their viewing angles, many people couldn''t even see what David did, assuming he had given up hope and was standing there awaiting death.


    The mes quickly engulfed Sterl''s figure.


    "Is it over?" This thought involuntarily shed through the minds of those present.


    "Haha! Finally crushed that pesky insect!" The Eldest Prince eximed joyfully, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust.


    On the side of the Antic Empire, everyone couldn''t help but feel a tinge of joy. David''s Celestial Stars was terrifying, and no one wanted to be struck by it.


    How could they feel at ease with David alive?


    Witnessing the "death" of the legendary genius, the people of the Divine Mountain Empire were instead filled with renewed fighting spirit. Some even shouted, "To die alongside a genius like David! My name will go down in history!"


    "What''s there to fear now? Let''s take them on!"


    However, both sides quickly sensed something amiss.


    The seven-colored mes burned on the ground, crackling and popping, but that was all they did—crackle and pop, creating an eerie atmosphere.


    If David had been killed outright by the Divine me, Constantine should have extinguished the mes by now. Why were they still burning in such a strange state?


    One second...


    Two seconds...


    Three seconds...


    It wasn''t until a full five seconds had passed that the atmosphere on the battlefield grew increasingly tense.


    Although the elite soldiers of the Antic Empire continued their relentless pursuit of the Divine Mountain Empire''s NPCs and yers, they couldn''t help but cast puzzled nces at the mes.


    Constantine remained motionless.


    No one thought the general had been counter-killed—the power disparity was simply too great! But the current situation defied exnation...


    Until the mes slowly began to dissipate, revealing the figures of Constantine and "David" once more under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
