Orion did not deny it. He only laughed softly, wiped the blood from his chin with the back of his hand, and took one more step forward. In that moment, everyone watching could feel that he genuinely had nothing left to spare.
The Nine Star Sovereign Body had already pushed him past the natural endurance of his flesh, and Full Star Convergence had burned through his meridians, his flesh, and his blood at a terrifying rate. Any ordinary genius would have collapsed long before now.
Even so, Orion remained on his feet, and the light in his eyes had not dimmed at all. If anything, it had grown sharper, as though he had finally arrived at the exact moment he had been waiting for since the battle began.
"The Nine Star Court taught me many star arts," Orion said as the starlight around him trembled weakly. "It taught me how to call down stars, how to command them, and how to wear their power as my own body. But this final move..." His smile widened. "This one is mine."
