Sullo and the goddess used their divine power to resist the absorption, which was still causing them to burn their divine power at a constant rate.
It was right then that one of the remaining star-devouring beasts decided to attack them!
This was soon followed up by the rest of them.
To make sure that they would not expend too much of their divine power, Sullo and the Goddess had no choice but to escape. Although there were benefits to killing off the rest of the star-devouring beasts, the dangers were still far too great.
If they used too much divine power, there was a possibility that they would die there!
Thus, Sullo and the goddess used as much divine power as they could muster in order to escape, removing themselves from the star-devouring beasts' attack range.
In Sullo's divine domain, it seemed the entire divine domain began to shake due to Sullo's divine power that was being absorbed.
