The Alternate Dimension.
It was a special world the Farming System had carved out in Universe 42.
Here, the sun never rose, and there were no moons or stars. Looking up, one could see only endless darkness.
Here, the land stretched beyond sight. Gray-black blocks called bedrock were neatly laid across the ground, forming an utterly flat surface without a single rise or dip.
Destroying bedrock was almost impossible. Even a Star-Burst Rank powerhouse striking with all their strength could leave only a shallow mark.
Amid this cold silence, only one area shone with warm lights.

According to the Combat Power Detector's scans, the creatures inside were not particularly strong. The strongest was only Continent-Burst Rank.
At A-05's speed, dealing with them would take no more than 0.01 seconds.
Yet the instant A-05 approached the little three-story building, it stopped in its tracks like a bug caught in a spiderweb.
A-04 and A-03 called out simultaneously, "A-05? What's wrong? Respond if you receive this."
Their transmissions went out, but A-05 gave no response, as though their words had vanished into the void.

A-04 said, "Judging by A-05's halted operations, the enemy likely possesses a time-stop or immobilization superpower. Analyzing. Analysis failed! The high-entropy alloy on A-05 resists supernatural abilities. It should not be affected."
A-03 said, "Calculations place A-05 approximately 150 kilometers from the enemy. Assuming the ability's range is roughly circular, its coverage is the size of a city. We can launch a long-range strike with a Surface-Annihilation Rank Energy Cannon."
A-04 said, "Scans indicate that only A-05's chip has stopped operating. Its body is still functioning. The enemy's ability likely cannot control inanimate objects. We can pull A-05 out of range with a Chain Weapon."
