The Alien assassins struck with extreme speed, five of them ganging up on a single target. A direct hit was fatal.
Moreover, each group included someone carrying the "Absolute Death Stone."
This special item, if activated by its bearer, prevented any being within a ten-meter radius from resurrecting after death, including the bearer.
Carrying such an item was a true double-edged sword; one misstep could doom the user as well.
However, to guarantee a successful assassination, carrying it was deemed necessary.
This was currently the most cost-effective method available for widespread restriction of resurrection abilities.
Of course, 'cost-effective' in this context referred to the acquisition cost when supported by the resources of an entire Star System.
An ordinary individual would need to expend considerable effort to obtain even one.
