"Exactly, I’ve also read plenty of literature on the Steam Sequence and haven’t found this attribute," Tuck said.

At that moment, the Shark Insect Master Queen Giorgia spoke.

"Normally, steam indeed cannot block the leakage of the World Origin from a breached World Crystal Wall."

"But... this steam possesses qualities of the World Crystal Wall."

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, all the Transcendents were taken aback.

Even though they were widely experienced, they had never encountered steam with the properties of the World Crystal Wall.

"Now that you mention it, I am even more fascinated by this peculiar steam," Simmons said, stroking his chin with a curious look on his face.

"Those clouds of Steam Grey Mist... Can’t they be cleared away?" At this point, Martin Sorpe slowly posed the question.

After a moment of contemplation, Giorgia’s soulful voice resonated once more.

"The Steam Grey Mist seems to seep straight from the crystal barrier itself."

"It shares the same defensive qualities as the barrier, almost as if it has formed a complete ecosystem of its own."

"Even using Shark Insects to absorb the steam, more continues to pervade incessantly from within."

"This is too bizarre, I’ve devoured numerous Transcendent Worlds and have never come across such magical steam before."

Listening to Giorgia’s explanation,

Martin Sorpe sank into deep thought.

"Methods that were once effective are now utterly useless before that enigmatic Steam Wizard, Tuck."

"It seems Tuck must have anticipated this characteristic of steam within the World Barrier. Otherwise... his continuous inaction would be utterly illogical."

"And now, everything makes sense."

"He has no need to defend against the Shark Insects tearing through the world’s hull."

"All these two months of waiting have been in vain."

With this thought in mind, Martin Sorpe deeply massaged his brow.

"How have you fared over there all this time?" Sorpe asked the two Shark Insect Master Queens beside him.

It was a bad time to ask. As soon as he did, the two queens started complaining almost simultaneously.

"Those Steam Shark Priests are extremely cunning, relying on their terrain advantage, they fight us while picking up the carcasses of our Shark Insects below."

"For most of the past two-plus months, we’ve been in a state of cease-fire, only engaging in battle for a fraction of the time."

"And even so, our losses are substantial."

"If we were to engage in full-scale combat, unless you are willing to compensate us with a massive supply of flesh and blood resources, we will be at a severe disadvantage!"

"That’s right. We have already suffered heavy losses."

The two Shark Insect Master Queens went back and forth, quickly giving Martin Sorpe a headache.

"Is that Shark Worm Queen below at the master-level?" asked Martin Sorpe, his brow nearly knit together.

"Ninth Rank!"

"A ninth rank can fight you two to a draw? Even if the master-level Shark Insects you cultivated can’t enter, it shouldn’t be the case that the two of you combined are at a stalemate with that Ninth-rank Steam Shark Insect Queen!"

Martin Sorpe seriously doubted that these Alien Shark Bugs were holding back.

After all, the true intentions of these beings from a Different Domain were inscrutable.

"That Steam Shark is formidable, managing to fight without falling behind despite being a whole level lower."

"We... it took considerable effort just to fend off their assault. Otherwise... they would have broken through long ago."

They initially wanted to say that they would not have been able to hold their ground if the Steam Sharks had pressed the attack.

But saying that would make both Shark Worm Queens appear weak, thus they changed the story on the spot.

Anyway, since the enemy hasn’t come out, it means we’ve held them off.

Taking into context both the preceding and subsequent remarks, Martin Sorpe naturally inferred some of the truth.

Either!

The Steam Sharks were indeed very powerful.

They couldn’t hold them back at all.

It was simply that the enemy deliberately did not counter-attack, adopting a defensive strategy of stalling for time and sparing these two any embarrassment.

Or these two were severely slacking.

Taking into account the unique quality of the steam inside the World Barrier,

Martin Sorpe guessed the former was most likely.

"Let’s organize an attack together, to see if we can break through the defense. If that doesn’t work, I will think of another solution,"

The Shark Worm Queen, who initially wanted to argue, no longer had the resolve to do so.

The three Steam Queens quickly developed a psychic network to commence rapid communication.

Meanwhile,

a 122nd-level young Transcendent Master who looked quite young standing beside Martin Sorpe suddenly spoke.

"Lord Martin, should I give it a try when the three queens make their move?" he offered.

"Give it a try?"

Martin Sorpe glanced at "Itas", who had volunteered himself, and after a brief pause, replied.

"We still don’t know the exact strength of that Steam Wizard, Tuck, over there."

"Although the information we have indicates he is currently at the level of a Semi-Master, but... you know the strength of such superhuman talents can be astonishing."

"Of course, you were once a super talent yourself, not weaker than a typical Transcendent Master at the ninth rank."

"But... no matter what, there is also a Transcendent Master Warrior inside, it’s too risky for you to go alone!"

"Whatever the case, we can’t just sit outside and do nothing, can we, Lord Mark!" interjected another, a towering Transcendent Master Swordsman bearing a silver Passing Long Sword, his voice ringing out with conviction.
