Even the mightiest Nine Nether Nether Soldier created by the Lord of the Star Domain was merely comparable to a Sage.

If they joined forces to unleash Space Bombardment or powerful arrow techniques, their attacks would naturally be strong enough to kill—even instantly kill—the mightiest Nine Nether Nether Soldiers.
