The Five Elders weren't looking for a fight with Shin.
Of course, it wasn't that they didn't want to target him—it was that they were afraid. If they had a clear understanding of Shin's true strength and knew what his trump cards were, perhaps then they would have the courage to make a move.
But as it stood, the...

The moment the spectral black phoenix projected itself into Hell, the moment it unfurled its wings, the underworld of Hawk’s Cosmo followed, merging perfectly with the celestial bird.
