The entire stadium fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone was frozen in shock, their eyes glued to the unbelievable scene before them. Not a single word was uttered—disbelief filled the air like a suffocating mist.
"F-Fifth Commander Darlene… is dead??"
"T-There's no way this is real… She's the strongest woman I know! She can't be defeated! This… This must be a nightmare!"
The two remaining subordinates snapped out of their daze and turned their trembling gazes toward Darlene's corpse. Their leader—undefeated, feared, and powerful—now lay lifeless before them, her face unrecognizable, her body motionless.
And yet, the truth was undeniable.
Darlene had been utterly crushed—defeated in a single blow.
'I-Is he going to kill us next…?'
A cold shiver ran down their spines as they instinctively swallowed hard. Their eyes darted toward Yuan, who was standing there smiling—a smile that sent waves of fear crashing through their bodies.
