Returning to the Plaza of Glory, Augustine, whose consciousness had been erased, was now alongside the remaining Legion of Hell, setting up defenses around the royal city.
Although the overall strength of the Legion of Hell could not breach the boundaries of powerful Divine Beings, if it hadn't been for their sacrificial resistance, it's likely that Sterl would never have escaped from the core in time. He would have been severely injured by Fay and fallen into a disadvantageous position.
When facing a powerhouse like Fay, once you fall into the disadvantage, things can spiral out of control. The successive blows will keep coming, relentlessly crushing you until you're dead.
Therefore, the stronger you are, the more crucial the timing becomes during battle.
Of course, Sterl's destruction of this Orichalcum Kingdom attack and nearly capturing the three mighty Divine Powers was enough to make them wary. For the time being, they were unlikely to come after him again.
