Shhhh… shhhh… shhhh… shhhh…

Four consecutive beams of light struck the bodies of Sky Shadow, Zhang Xiaobo, Blade Warrior, and the young Feng Yi. Only Roland, Mengdie, and Feng Yi managed to evade in time. Sky Shadow could have dodged the attack at this level of fluctuation, but due to the exhaustion of most of his physical energy, he failed to avoid the sudden assault.

Zhang Xiaobo and the young Feng Yi spat out fresh blood on the spot. The next second, a chillingly creepy scene unfolded.

Bizarre! It's still alive, and its aura hasn't diminished—well, perhaps only partially, but far from the level of being critically hurt.

How could it be this way?

That's bad! The worst scenario is unfolding, and everyone's hearts dropped to rock bottom along with their shocked expressions.

Sky Shadow struggled to straighten his body and said, "Damn it, weren't you already…"

"I won't deny that your strike indeed inflicted some damage on me. But have you forgotten? My existence is entirely energy-based. How could it be destroyed by that level of energy?"

Feng Yi replied, "It's a pity we couldn't sense even the slightest fluctuation in your aura. It seems you've learned how to hide your presence."

"For that, I must thank Sky Shadow."

"What? Thank Sky Shadow?"

Suddenly, a scene flashed in Feng Yi's mind—Sky Shadow executing a one-hit-kill strike. At that moment, Sky Shadow's aura was suppressed and disguised, making his presence seem devoid of any magnetic field fluctuations, even lower than that of an ordinary person. Could it be that Bizarre sensed this detail back then? Could it be that it was motivated to learn and mimic from that point forward?

Only now did Feng Yi realize the horrifying nature of Bizarre—it didn't just possess an incredible learning ability; it could easily grasp personal skills the moment they were used! Could it possibly learn the Third Rhythm through special means?

Feng Yi's mind buzzed loudly! It almost exploded. However, he quickly calmed down. That probably couldn't happen. The Third Rhythm was a rare and ingenious skill developed under extremely improbable circumstances. Even the high-dimensional being stated that such an ability wasn't feasible in this universe's rules. Even in its original universe's laws, it was virtually untouchable.

However, the manifestation of the Third Rhythm in three-dimensional space is like this: when placed in a higher-dimensional realm, its effects would undoubtedly be far more terrifying. This was hinted at by Mo Ying. Unfortunately, Feng Yi hadn't realized this at the time. Even when situated in the fourth-dimensional space, he hadn't grasped the potential to further develop and extend the Third Rhythm. It's like Sky Shadow accidentally mastering a unique skill in another timeline—sometimes efforts and intentions don't guarantee results.

The situation has now grown exceedingly dire. Zhang Xiaobo and the young Feng Yi are both injured, Sky Shadow is already in a poor state, and based on the current circumstances, the only combat-ready individuals left are Roland and himself, making them the best option.

"Your evasion speed is impressive; try handling this move instead!"

Suddenly, Bizarre's entire body erupted in a burst of red light, radiating outward in an extremely widespread manner… this was an indiscriminate, omnidirectional attack.

At the same time, Roland quickly reacted, deploying a ripple-like aquatic shield that enveloped their vicinity… Roland's brows furrowed deeply. Her usually effective aquatic shield couldn't withstand the devouring force of Bizarre's Dark Magnetic Field.

"Why is this happening…"

"I figured it out."

Blade Warrior forcibly straightened himself and explained: "In truth, human space contains numerous flaws and cracks. Imagine a computer screen or a flat surface—while it appears flawless, nothing is truly perfect. Suppose you magnify a seemingly perfect surface ten thousand times, a million times, or even a trillion times—you'd uncover an astonishing truth: imperfections and cracks abound in the microscopic world."

Bizarre's omnidirectional attack likely exploited its unique Dark Magnetic Field to infiltrate and corrode, eventually breaching Roland's seemingly flawless but intrinsically flawed shield of defense.

This? Self-preservation is certainly possible for Roland, but except for her, it seems nearly impossible for the others present to endure Bizarre's full-scale, omnidirectional assault. Within a minute, her shield's effectiveness would deteriorate to a dangerously low level as time passed.

With this realization, Roland made up her mind and said to everyone: "We're leaving now."

"Leave? It's not that easy, Roland. Can you protect everyone simultaneously?"

"Hm, you won't know until you try." With that, Roland leaped into the air. Her movements resembled a soaring dragon as she struck with a punch. What looked like a slow-motion punch abruptly froze time and space—the surroundings transformed entirely into black and white. What kind of terrifying principle was this?

Boom!

The straight punch hit Bizarre's body directly, shattering it into pieces. It dissolved into a mass of pitch-black energy and vanished entirely…

However, Bizarre's main body simultaneously manifested two identical clones. "What principle is this? I can't move!" Its gaze quickly turned to the intricate gesture conjured by Mengdie's jade-like fingers, immediately identifying the problem at hand—it was the sealing gesture of this mysterious and silent woman that had locked even this space in place.

"The cooperation of this team is far more than what you can comprehend."

As Roland spoke, a tangible storm surged upward, instantly sweeping Bizarre into the sky, interrupting its continuous red energy output with the Storm Stance.

"What? You possess the same attributes as Feng Yi?"

This certainly wasn't something unknown, yet it remained a secret. It could be said that Bizarre was evolving, and that Mengdie's bloodline power was silently advancing as well. Perhaps a year ago, Feng Yi's bloodline power wasn't as prominent, but as time progressed, the young life inheriting Feng Yi's bloodline power began to gradually awaken. In other words, Mengdie's abilities had become more effective than they were back then.

No one had expected Mengdie and Roland's collaboration to be so seamless. Sky Shadow exhaled softly, seeming relieved that these two were unexpectedly reliable. But Sky Shadow also knew that this so-called resistance was only a fleeting moment of glory. Ultimately, Bizarre possessed an immortal nature and an energy reserve that seemed infinite, rendering long-term battles unsustainable.

As his thoughts churned, Sky Shadow sent out a thought to the group, specifically addressing Roland and Mengdie: "How long do you estimate you two can hold out?"

"Two minutes shouldn't be a problem. I've worked with Mengdie before. Have you come up with a strategy?"

"Feng Yi was right earlier. We need to retreat immediately. Can you hold it off with your current state?"

Hold it off? Was Sky Shadow suggesting leaving the two behind while the others made their escape? Sacrificing themselves to ensure the rest survived? That wasn't Sky Shadow's intention; he had already demonstrated in another dimension that he was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

The reason Sky Shadow said this was because he'd thoroughly considered every angle. Only by having the two fastest individuals hold off Bizarre could they buy enough time for the others to escape. Then, they could quickly catch up to the shuttle, which was the most sensible strategy.

After sharing his thoughts with the team, Sky Shadow further pointed out that the plan relied on Feng Yi. The shuttle alone wouldn't be able to cover 2,000 kilometers in such a short span. Long-distance escape would be possible only through Feng Yi's Third Rhythm.

While Sky Shadow had partial understanding of Feng Yi's Third Rhythm, he believed the ability to traverse thousands of kilometers within two minutes was achievable. This was the only solution Sky Shadow could envision at the moment.

Shhh… shhh… shhh… shhh…

Just as the team thought their strategy was feasible, Bizarre's clones transformed into four figures the instant Sky Shadow's thoughts were transmitted. "Your strategy is impressive, but don't forget—my magnetic field has already infiltrated."

Everyone's hearts sank with a thud!

Heavens! The infiltration of the magnetic field meant that Sky Shadow's transmitted thoughts not only reached his team but also arrived perfectly clear to Bizarre. That explained why it deliberately split into four clones—to counter Mengdie and Roland on one front and restrain the rest on the other.
