"It's pointless; this is precisely where the tactics are smartest," Yita said.

"How so?"

"It's simple. If we take turns going into battle, we still have room to maneuver. If all three fight at once and subsequently lose their ability to resist, we may face complete annihilation."

The chubby one paused to think and quickly understood Yita's point, which meant that the probing strategy agreed upon earlier, where they take turns to test the enemy, was intended to ensure that at least one of the three remained energetic. Even if the other two were drained of energy, the remaining one could stall for some time, preventing an instant wipe out due to fatigue later on.

Once all three join the fight simultaneously, even though they might suppress the enemy momentarily, the peculiar nature of existence of the Bizarre could not be measured with existing theories. No matter how powerful your attack, what you emit is merely your personal biological magnetic field.

In other words, assuming each of the three individuals has a biological magnetic field unit amount of one, striking the Bizarre could achieve a damage effect of one. For three people, it's just the sum of one plus one plus one, and this quantitative change does not result in a qualitative change. At least with the three's weak biological magnetic field, it's impossible to create any substantial change. Therefore, whether three people collectively engage the Bizarre or one person confronts it alone, the numerical result would not fluctuate.

The reason Kexiao gestured for Zhang Xiaobo to keep silent at first was one, to observe the strength of the Bizarre magnetic field reaction. As warriors with Mental Ability, observing the Bizarre does not necessarily require modern instruments. For instance, before the Blade Warrior's equipment sounded an alarm, Kexiao, Sky Shadow, and Mengdie had already faintly sensed the Bizarre's presence, which is why they stopped in their tracks.

Secondly, the three were silently estimating the strength of the Bizarre's magnetic field. In the end, they discovered that despite the extensive reach of this intense Dark Magnetic Field, it isn't noticeably strong. Rather than saying the Bizarre's magnetic field is powerful and fearsome, it's more accurate to say that the actual damage inflicted by these individuals is minuscule.

After all, even though these individuals possess remarkable abilities, they can only inflict real damage on the Bizarre through biological magnetic fields. The physical destruction that can be witnessed, while appearing to hurt the Bizarre, is in fact completely useless. To use an old saying, the Bizarre now has a physical form transformed from the magnetic field, and the reason you can attack it is that you're merely hitting its magnetic field shell; only soul collision can have a true effect.

Regrettably, the conversion rate of biological magnetic fields is too low. Forget about a hundred-percent conversion; it can't even achieve ten percent.

This conversion is just like humanity's conceptual understanding of speed. Even if a spaceship could reach .8 the speed of light, .9 the speed of light or even .99 the speed of light, it can never truly accelerate to the speed of light. Even if you use all the matter in the universe as fuel, any mass-carrying object cannot achieve light speed, at least not according to the physical laws of our universe, which state that no object can surpass the speed of light.

So, someone might ask, if a spaceship flies at a speed infinitesimally close to light speed, say .9999999, does stepping forward on the ship bring one to light speed?

The answer is... in your dreams.

The rules of our universe do not permit any speed to match light. As speed becomes nearly equal to that of light, the surrounding time will slow down almost to a halt… until it nearly stops, and the spaceship you are on will enter a sub-light-speed cruising state. With time expanding by 70,700 times, a day of traveling at low light speeds will correspond to 70,700 days in reality, which is nearly 200 years. In other words, if you add another 9 to the original light-speed number, then as you walk through a day, the world will silently pass by 2000 years.

The current situation is akin to the predicament that Kexiao and his comrades are facing; no matter how strong your power, it is incredibly difficult to convert more physical energy into a biological magnetic field and release it all at once.

Listening to the thunderous explosions echoing in the void and hearing the explanation, Zhang Xiaobo became even more panicked... "Can I take a look at that?" Zhang Xiaobo eyed the Combat Power Tester held by the Blade Warrior intently.

"Here you go."

After taking the device and putting it on his head, Zhang Xiaobo's eyes glazed over; the continuous combat power had soared to 1.5 million... Damn, is this even human? According to his recollection, the highest known official record for individual combat power was held by a female account named Nangong Little Secret from Rekart, yet Sky Shadow's terrifying combat power was actually twenty times that of her.

What's the concept of twenty times? It's a quantum leap that could transform the nature of an individual combat index. Note that Nangong Little Secret, already at the First-Order, had reached a level considered a national treasure. Even a power would find it difficult to produce several of such beings, while Sky Shadow is a full twenty-five times stronger than her, and his combat power is still on the rise.

Even though Feng Yi didn't find Sky Shadow very reliable as a person, he had to admit that as a teammate, he certainly provided a sense of security—that was the terrifying part, considering that even such a powerful individual could only manage to suppress Bizarre, and that made him afraid to consider the possibility that 'Bizarre' really could be a catastrophe that changed humanity.

Time continued to drip away slowly, and before long, half an hour had passed. Sky Shadow was now gasping for breath, his chest heaving up and down... and the state of suppression was evidently turning into one where he was the one being suppressed over time.

Boom!

Bizarre punched heavily into Sky Shadow's stomach, which hadn't been prepared to parry in time, followed by a downward elbow strike that caused Sky Shadow to fall heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust...

Dragging his battered body, before he could even stand up, Bizarre delivered another fierce kick to Sky Shadow's face. The breath mixed with the dark power was particularly terrifying, and the magnetic field swirling around him seemed as though it could devour everything within a few meters.

Sky Shadow's figure was once again sent flying sideways...

Without waiting for his tumbling body to stabilize, Bizarre accelerated even faster to the point where Sky Shadow was about to land, and swung another punch.

However, this attack did not succeed. Just as Bizarre was about to strike Sky Shadow's back, a faster figure suddenly intercepted it—it was Kexiao, whose face remained as calm as the still waters, the man who had always seen Feng Yi as the rival of his lifetime.

His twitching fingers were evidently resisting 'Bizarre', and in a flash, a momentum-condensed gleam of light exploded from the contact of their palms, which instantly overpowered the opponent with a bang...

The light then shattered into inches of light rain, with this strike being incredibly close and instantaneous, Bizarre's momentary physical form was shattered into a burst of energy magnetic field, dispersing into the void, the extent of destruction seeming even greater than that of Sky Shadow's, it was a momentum-shaped strike.

"You step back, leave this to me."

Sky Shadow stood up with difficulty, unable to help but touch the fresh blood at the corner of his mouth, clenched his fists, and was about to take a step forward when, unexpectedly, Bizarre continued to pursue him with a sneak attack, catching him off guard. Even Kexiao was taken aback; this creature had learned to ambush in the short span of the battle. Sky Shadow's body was no longer strong, completely unprepared.

Slap, slap, slap, slap...

Accompanied by a series of continuous slaps, Mengdie's jade fingers changed rapidly, as murky, frozen barriers successively appeared in the void to intercept, yet it couldn't effectively limit Bizarre's momentum, only after shattering more than a dozen one-inch-thick ice walls did its momentum slow down.

What no one knew was that during this time, Mengdie also attempted to bind Bizarre's movement using the Wood element of the Five Elements, but the vines could no longer grow in this desolate wasteland devoid of vegetation. She could only create multiple layers of ice crystals to block its path using her water-based illusions.

Sky Shadow hesitated for a moment, unable to accept that he had actually been saved by Mengdie, now of all times. His own strength was clearly superior to hers, but this woman, who had once defeated him in combat, had actually indirectly lent him a hand in the real world.

"Damn it, it was unnecessary. I don't need your help. Do you think that will make me thank you?"

Unfortunately, Sky Shadow's roar was like a stone sinking into the ocean, receiving no response at all. Mengdie didn't even spare him a glance with the corner of her eye, continuing to stand with her usual expressionless face, proud like a cat that doesn't even bother to care.
