In this breathtaking three-way melee, the intensity of the battle surpassed all imagination. The entire galaxy seemed to have become a massive arena, with planets and meteors shattering one after another amid the clash of the three combatants, turning into clouds of cosmic dust.
However, Art Student did not seem to be in any hurry to seize those two C'tan fragments. He adopted a seemingly slow but steady strategy, methodically draining the energy stored within the other two. This approach was puzzling, but it actually carried profound meaning.
Although C'tan possessed an inexhaustible supply of energy, their energy was not without limits. To other races, this limit might make no difference; the C'tan would still be just as powerful.
But in the eyes of the other C'tan, it was different. If a C'tan's combat strength was one hundred, then after devouring stellar energy, it could rise to one hundred twenty, one hundred fifty, and some powerful C'tan could even reach two hundred.
But once the energy the opponent had absorbed was depleted, their combat strength would return to one hundred. If one's own energy remained abundant, it would be one hundred fifty combat strength against one hundred combat strength. The battle would become much easier, and weaker C'tan could be controlled more effectively.
What the C'tan themselves considered an extremely serious issue was insignificant to mortal races. Even a C'tan in its weakest state remained an existence beyond their ability to contend with.
One had to know that C'tan needed to continually strengthen themselves by feeding on stellar energy. Only after absorbing enough stellar energy could a C'tan become even stronger.
What Art Student was doing now was gradually exhausting the excess energy within those two C'tan fragments. That way, he could better control the situation and claim the two
