Listening to Augustine's words, Sterl maintained a calm expression on the outside, but inwardly, his thoughts were in turmoil.
The royal city of Orichalcum was no small matter. It was a powerful artifact created by great gods, essentially a treasure of divine power at the level of Divine Power. It was far superior to any so-called ancient artifact or overlord equipment—it was incomparable!
Moreover, the royal city was incredibly sturdy. Even with Sterl's Star-Bone Body activated, he couldn't destroy it in the short term. What's more, this was not the complete royal city; it was still in the process of merging. Once it fully fused with the world, its strength would increase exponentially.
This was comparable to the Hall of Valor, after all. The gods of Orichalcum had always relied on the protection of the royal city to drift through the Endless Void; without it, they would have vanished long ago.
