They knew the Temporal Force could counter the laws governing all things, but they had never imagined Loren's mastery of it had reached the point where he could shake the Celestial Formation.
"Attack! Kill the variable!"
No more probing. No more attempts to restrain him. All four Celestials struck with their full power. Golden Judgment Beams, Creation Annihilation Power, the Dimensional Adjudication Law, and a fourth supreme cosmic law bore down together, blanketing the void and cutting off every route of escape.
At the same time, more than a dozen elite Construct Guards charged in unison. Their Astral Energy Cannons fired together as gilded Glaives cleaved through the void, closing a net around him.

Loren's expression turned grave, but he did not retreat an inch.
He knew he could not kill all four Ancient Celestials in one stroke.
These primordial cosmic gods were rooted in the universe's laws and existed alongside it. Like Galactus, they were fundamental forces of creation that could not be destroyed completely. Fighting them to the death would only exhaust Loren's own essence and play into their trap.

Seizing that brief opening,
