The third-ss yers on the scene immediately felt reassured!


    The yers in the audience, initially taken aback, quickly realized the situation!


    The shadowy figure who had appeared was clearly no expert! Seeing his loyal subordinate, Teresa, going to such extreme lengths to buy time, even at the cost of her life, indicated that this person was far weaker than the third-ss yers of the major families.


    So, what to do? The answer was obvious.


    Soon, someone cautiously cast a series of detection spells on Sterl.


    Then, they excitedly shouted, "What a joke, he''s just a second-ss yer!"


    "Is this some kind of prank? A second-ss yer dares to show his face??"


    "Family heads, you don''t need to lift a finger. We''ll take care of him for you!"


    "So, you and those traitors conspired to kill our basemander??"


    The yers quickly reverted to their earlier staunch support for the family forces, and they were visibly excited, rushing towards Sterl at the front of the stage!


    They were afraid of being toote and missing the chance to attack because, after all, he was just a second-ss yer. If everyone here each cast a spell, he''d probably die instantly!


    So, they had to act quickly. The lucky ones who attacked first would have the chance to show off in front of the family heads!


    The third-ss yers merely frowned slightly without making a move or saying a word.


    Especially Astrid, the "Iron-Hearted" family head, who stood with her hands behind her back, canceling the skill she was about to unleash, her eyes filled with caution.


    As a yer who had lived for over a century and frequently used life-extending items, Astrid knew that unusual circumstances often meant something was amiss. For a mere second-ss yer to dare face a group of third-ss yers, he must have some hidden trump card, right?


    The other family heads had simr suspicions, so they let the ordinary second-ss yers rush forward to attack.


    Meanwhile, they secretly pondered—


    Whether this mysterious figure had a hidden card or was just a fool seeking death, their own safety could be assured while the ordinary yers probed him.


    If the person had no trump card and was beaten by the yers, the family heads could then step in to rescue "David" and capture him for interrogation.


    If he did have a trump card, then it was no loss if the ordinary yers died.


    The lives of frence yers were insignificantpared to the interests of the families.


    At this moment, Sterl remained calm, waiting for the yers to get close.


    Meanwhile, Teresa had been easily subdued.


    Sterl''s other subordinates looked pained, thinking that Lord David must be out of his mind... Was he nning to get himself killed too?


    The frenzied second-ss yers reached Sterl, each gathering their skills.


    But they noticed that "David" still showed no reaction, as if he was waiting to die.


    No, he was definitely waiting to die!


    With the same second-ss strength, even if this person had high attribute values and quick reflexes, there was no way he could escape now!


    The others'' skills were almost fully charged.


    The third-ss yers also reached a conclusion—


    "This guy, really has no trump card??"


    "He''s just here to die??"


    "After all this, turns out he''s just a lunatic."


    The family heads finally rxed, finding the situation almostughable. Such a worthless piece of trash had made them waste a few extra seconds of thought...


    This was a great offense. This person had to be sent to the family''s interrogation room afterward! He needed to learn what it meant to challenge their authority!


    The second-ss yers were also extremely excited. They had been a bit scared when they first charged forward, worried that Sterl might have a trump card. Now it seemed they could safely win the favor of the major families.


    Many of the yers couldn''t help but sincerely think, "Thank you, David!"


    What further reassured the surrounding yers and the third-ss family heads was the sight of Teresa and the rest of Sterl''s subordinates looking utterly despondent:


    "Lord David! Dodge quickly!"


    "Don''t worry about us.Escape while you can."


    "It''s all over. What''s happened to Lord David? Is he being controlled?"


    "Does this mean we have no hope of revenge in the future?"


    Their expressions were filled with despair and pain, no trace of pretense. They looked at the third-ss yers on the stage with hatred.


    They knew "David''s" realbat strength: second-ss yers were no match for him! He could dispatch a group with a wave of his hand! Now that Lord David wasn''t moving at all, he must be under some sort of control!


    They hadn''t seen any skill effects, so it must be that those third-ss yers used some special or highly concealed skills to ambush him!


    It was too despicable! With such a significant advantage in strength, they still resorted to such underhanded tactics.


    Sterl''s subordinates were seething with anger!


    Now, not only were they all going to be wiped out here, but even thest hope of Lord David avenging them in the future was gone!


    The yers from various bases and families present had simr thoughts to Sterl''s subordinates.


    The third-ss yers on the stage looked at the second-ss yers below, thinking that among these weaklings, someone actually possessed such a concealed control skill? It immobilized Davidpletely?


    They thought they could find and cultivate such a yer, adding another dog to the family.


    The ordinary second-ss yers below were in awe, believing that the family heads must have secretly acted to strip David of his ability to resist!


    This was the power and foundation of the third-ss family heads?


    Such strong control abilities, executed without any visible disturbance! Too powerful!


    As for why they only controlled "David."it was likely because the family heads thought letting themon yers kill "David" would alleviate public outrage!


    After all, everyone was united in their anger over the death of the basemander!


    The family heads were indeed farsighted!


    For a moment, everyone present reached a perfect consensus: "David" was controlled! He was doomed!


    At this point, Sterl finally moved slightly, lifting his gaze and raising an eyebrow.


    He had no idea that his usual silent demeanor, meant to maintain an air of mystery, had caused such a huge misunderstanding…


    Sterl was just waiting for the opposing yers to get close so he could take them out in one go, creating the most visually striking effect.


    After all, he enjoyed showing off.


    Additionally, it served to intimidate his subordinates, boosting their loyalty.


    Although Sterl didn''t need a bunch of second-ss yers, Linna and Rayna did require their protection...


    Even though attacks were about to hit him, Sterl''s mind wandered.


    Having experienced divine battles, facing a group of second-ss and third-ss yers felt almostughable to him...


    Standing still, Sterl wasn''t just posturing.He was also pondering which skill to use to kill these people in one go.


    After a moment, he calmly snapped his fingers, fully buffing himself with abilities like Divine Descent and Life Ignite, causing various visual effects to light up around him.


    But at this point, no one paid attention.Even if David broke free from control, there wouldn''t be enough time to cast any skills!


    Subsequently, Sterl tripled the power and doubled the range of his skills using Stardust Enhancement, and he cast two consecutive Celestial Stars!


    "What low consumption!"


    After casting the skills, Sterl was astonished to find that using these purple-quality skills, typically only essible to third-ss yers, barely depleted his energy bar.


    It just showed how absurdly high the consumption of his usual legendary abilities and Law Power was...


    Sterl mentally rxed and made a yfulment.


    Soon, the third-ss family heads were still sittingfortably, but beneath their feet, a blue attack indicator appeared.


    The yers who had rushed to the stage were simrly surrounded by another attack indicator.


    Only a few yers who hadn''t made it close to Sterl had empty space beneath their feet.


    What was this?


    The ordinary yers reacted slowly, but the third-ss family heads, with their long lifespans, were immediately on high alert!!


    The fact that Teresa''s backer was merely a second-ss yer had already made these heads suspicious. Now, they felt... could it be that someone else from "David''s" faction had taken action?


    Instantly, the third-ss family heads and guild leaders scattered in all directions!


    Despite this, they remained rxed. As they saw it, David''s faction couldn''t be that strong.Otherwise, they wouldn''t have been hiding all this time. Nheless, out of caution, they didn''t want to take a hit for no reason.


    Unfortunately, as they ran, they thought to themselves, "Teresa''s faction is really foolish..."


    "Do they think we weren''t prepared..."


    Boom!!


    The third-ss yers couldn''t escape!


    Celestial Stars plummeted to the ground, first crashing through the roof of the Expander Hall, creating a massive hole!


    Then, the terrifying power exploded! The first wave released an incredibly high-temperature me!!


    It nearly melted the entire Expander Hall into liquid!


    Countless second-ss yers who had rushed forward were incinerated by the first wave of mes from Celestial Stars!!


    Even the tank-ss yers, who had preemptively activated shields and damage reduction skills to guard against a counterattack from the "stationary David."were instantly consumed by the mes, their life forces extinguished!


    As a result, the subsequent impact force of Celestial Stars had no targets left to hit!


    The third-ss yers met a simrly tragic fate!


    Though they had cautiously activated speed-boosting skills to escape and protection skills to shield themselves, it was all in vain!


    After the first terrifying wave of mes, everyone was gravely injured.


    Then, the catastrophic impact force of Celestial Stars hitting the ground ttened several family heads and guild leaders into pulp!
