"Impossible!!"
Though they roared those words, having risen to such lofty positions and cultivated to this realm, their reactions were incredibly swift.
There were ten of them in total. They had already worked together for half their lives—what kind of scene had they not witnessed?
In almost an instant, their Illusory Gods were fully unleashed.
As expected, this time they did not release their Illusory Gods to form vast domains. Instead, they drew them inward into their flesh, armoring every stellar particle throughout their bodies!
