"What?"
When her strike failed, a trace of surprise instantly appeared on Flower God's delicate, expressionless face.
Both sides were Demigods, and Flower God had never expected to defeat her opponent in a single move.
Yet her proud attack had been so casually neutralized. Even Flower God was greatly astonished.

In a one-on-one battle, she had the strength to kill other ordinary Demigods.
If she could devour the divine beast enemy before her as well, it would be enough to bring her to the peak of the Demigod level and contend for the lofty position of True God.
