This attack, this power, this momentum—it was simply terrifying. Not only that, but even the surrounding space around her stirred with faint ripples from the Blade Warrior's punch. However, the effects of her attack on the 'Bizarre' entity could only be described as feedback.

This feedback was akin to two ordinary people fighting—one throwing a full-strength heavy punch at the other's face, and the recipient's muscles simply denting inward from the force of impact without suffering any actual harm. In other words, even for the Blade Warrior, a combatant at the later stages of the First-Order, her attack against the 'Bizarre' entity resulted only in visible muscle deflection, no more.

Still, one must understand that although the Blade Warrior wasn't the strongest among those present, she was undeniably a formidable warrior in her class. There weren't many across nations who could compare to her in combat. Yet here was this powerful human-shaped fighting machine, unable to inflict even the slightest wound on an undefended 'Bizarre,' despite putting everything into the attack.

Looking back to a year ago—before the group crossed over—during their encounters with the Bizarre, the differences between then and now were like night and day, an unfathomable gap.

At the very least, Mengdie could still inflict significant damage on the Bizarre back in those days. Close-quarter combat wasn't as hopeless as it is now. You must know that Mengdie's expertise in Body Technique alone was enough to harm the Bizarre back then. This implied that the Blade Warrior should be able to cause even greater damage, as Mengdie's strength wasn't rooted in Body Technique but in various secret arts and sigils. In terms of Body Technique, Mengdie couldn't match the Blade Warrior.

But now, seeing the current results, the group collectively drew in sharp breaths.

Zhang Xiaobo was utterly stunned, his eyes frozen, staring at the Bizarre without blinking. Earlier, he'd thought that the Blade Warrior could definitely beat this smug creature into submission. While that thought was exaggerated, Zhang Xiaobo knew well just how incredibly skilled Blade Warrior was at close combat.

After all, the gap between First-Order and Rank 2 might appear to be just one tier, but in truth, the disparity was as vast and insurmountable as the heavens and the earth.

A First-Order warrior's reflexes were swift enough to catch bullets barehanded. Rank 2 warriors, however, often relied more on predicting bullet trajectories and then making adjustments accordingly.

Ordinary people were far from possessing such reflexes, but they were different. Through rigorous training, their reactions had nearly reached the level of cats, allowing them to narrowly dodge bullets with preparation.

Let alone First-Order warriors. Yet even with such formidable strength—a single punch capable of exerting significant tonnage—the Blade Warrior's heavy blow on the Bizarre resulted merely in recoil, without any meaningful effect.

The chubby man was genuinely dumbfounded!

"No way, is this for real? This is brutal. We have no hope."

Though the battle hadn't concluded, fear was already spreading in his heart like a creeping vine.

The Blade Warrior was at the First-Order, and so was Sky Shadow. Although Sky Shadow's strength had reached the peak of the First-Order—an apex that could arguably be considered beyond First-Order—it was impossible to say how much farther beyond. Perhaps ten thousand, perhaps a million, perhaps even higher. Yet despite this, Sky Shadow's realm remained within the First-Order. Seeing the Blade Warrior deliver such ineffective results, the chubby man couldn't imagine Sky Shadow succeeding either.

If Mengdie were to try instead, the outcome might be even worse—perhaps Mengdie wouldn't even manage to break the defense. In truth, the Blade Warrior hadn't broken the defense either, but at least there seemed to be a sliver of hope.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

From the distance, the continuous bursts of strong impacts traveling outward were sounds of attacks rebounding off the Bizarre. By this point, the chubby man's heart was already gripped with panic. Suddenly, as though clinging to a lifeline, he frantically turned to Roland and asked, "Right, Roland—you said you're in the Martial God Realm, can you suppress it?"

"Suppression, yes. Victory, no."

Roland's response was straightforward, which somewhat eased the chubby man's anxiety, though only slightly. "You're not lying, are you?"

"Heh, who knows?" Suppression was something Roland could achieve not only now but even in the past. Yet, she knew well that all she could ever do was suppress—it wasn't a solution to the fundamental problem. For this reason, she had never truly confronted the Bizarre. If Roland could defeat this monstrosity, she wouldn't have waited until now.

So, in truth, the group's greatest hopes rested on Feng Yi, the youth from another dimension. However, after finally meeting Feng Yi and hearing him declare that this beast was unbeatable, truth be told, their spirits sank by half.

After all, the team had already sensed from the beginning that the situation was far from promising. They had rolled the dice on this endeavor, holding out for a small chance of success. Yet with Feng Yi's words—someone far superior to anything this dimension could offer, who had clearly tested the Bizarre—the reality was undeniable. If even Feng Yi couldn't defeat it, then what chance did a younger Feng Yi have?

"Are you done yet? If you're done, let the next one come forward,"

At that moment, the motionless Bizarre spoke up, addressing the Blade Warrior. It was clear that it had grown weary of waiting and remarked, "Your attacks neither hurt nor itch. They're incredibly annoying."

"Ha… hahahaha… I see now. Alright, I'm done," the Blade Warrior replied. Her stern demeanor shifted suddenly into a sycophantic grin, clearly afraid the Bizarre would strike back at her, and she slinked away in embarrassment.

"Next up, who's going?"

"I'll give it a shot."
