"The atmosphere is incredibly heavy."
Sophia spoke in her usual cold tone. The moment she entered the Inner World, all the restraints that had once limited her were released.
She looked around the vast primitive wilderness where she had appeared, her eyes carefully scanning her surroundings. Towering trees stretched upward until they disappeared into the mist. The ground was covered in black, brown, and reddish soil, and the air was so dense that with every breath she felt her lungs fill completely with oxygen.
At the same time, she was trying to adapt to the new environment. Only a few moments after arriving in this world, the protection mechanism linked to the Three Vitality Seals and the Devouring Seal activated, automatically halting the devouring process after her body had reached the maximum amount of natural energy it could safely handle.
Natural energy existed in the outside world, but it was distributed at a moderate level. Here, however, it pressed against every part of her body, from her skin to her bones, and even the air itself was many times heavier than anything she had ever experienced. Before she could fully grasp the situation, a loud sound behind her shattered the silence.
"MOOOOOO!"
Then a gigantic black bull with an unbelievable physique appeared behind her. It was nearly the size of a mountain, its colossal body blocking the horizon.
"It seems even my Network Technique has become limited."
She could feel that the fundamental technique every member of the Walt Family was required to master had become suppressed here. The overwhelming density of natural energy surrounding her created interference that significantly reduced its effectiveness.
The bull began pounding the ground with one of its massive feet. The earth cracked around it, and clouds of dust rose in circles with every impact as it prepared to attack. To the beast, Sophia's appearance in this place was no random event. It had sensed the powerful killing intent radiating from her the instant she arrived. This territory belonged to the herd under its command, so the appearance of a creature carrying such a murderous aura was both an intrusion and a challenge.
"Come on. Show me what you've got, you mad beast."
Sophia muttered in her cold voice as she drew her katana from its scabbard with a sharp metallic sound. A frigid expression settled on her face as a crimson killing aura spread around her.
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
The gigantic bull charged forward at an astonishing speed completely disproportionate to its enormous size. The ground shook violently beneath its massive hooves. Every step exploded like thunder and left a huge crater behind.
Whoosh!
Sophia leaped sideways the instant the raging bull closed the distance. She moved to the right without daring to confront it head-on despite her tremendous physical strength. From the overwhelming primitive aura surrounding the creature, she could clearly sense that its raw physical power far surpassed her own.
At the very moment she evaded the charge, she swung her katana across the bull's flank as she passed by. The instant her blade made contact, she realized just how incredible its defenses truly were.
"Interesting... I couldn't even cut through your muscles."
The strike inflicted a wound, but it did not penetrate nearly as deeply as she had intended. The density of the creature's muscles far exceeded what her sword could slice through.
"MOOOOOO! MOOOOOO!"
The bull roared in response. The wound only ignited its fury to the highest level, and its aura surged to its limit until even the ground around it began trembling violently.
"Come. Show me what you've got, beast."
In another isolated dimension, Dan sat upon his stone throne, calmly watching his eldest daughter's battle after her entry into the Inner World.
"I hope you enjoy your experience, my little girl."
