Celestia was still managing to hold out, striking down the continuous blasts aimed at Arthur from behind and deflecting them, keeping his rear protected for the time being.
However, Celestia didn't have an infinite supply of cosmic energy. Her reserves would eventually run dry, and once that happened, Arthur would be forced to defend his rear on top of dealing with the crushing creation energy attacking him from all directions and the increasingly concentrated beam still blasting at him from the front.
The beam had now become even more focused, reaching the point where it was no longer just a concentrated stream but had effectively turned into a laser.
Eventually, it fully compressed into a razor-thin point, no wider than the beam from a laser pointer, and with all the energy that had once been spread across a meter of diameter now condensed into that pinpoint size, the resulting piercing power was naturally immense.
