A Battle That Cannot Be Won

Even if a Sovereign was extremely powerful than any peak level 9, they weren't invincible.

If too many peak level 9s ganged up on a Sovereign, then the Sovereign would also lose.

The 'too many' understated the difference. To put things into perspective, it's like a child fighting an adult.

Even an adult can't keep fighting if too many children gang up on him. They'd eventually be exhausted and lose. But how many amounted to too many?

Even though it's less extreme than in an adult vs a kid since the attack of peak level 9s could injure Sovereigns, their gap wasn't small.

The space shook violently as two humans fought against each other.

Their bodies blurred as they disappeared from one place and appeared in another, moving tens of miles each time.
