The Giant Statue Case remained silent. Although he was known to be able to contend with Dilixiati for a short while and was appreciated by the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism, Case was keenly aware of the gap between himself and Dilixiati. He could only manage a brief confrontation with Dilixiati by leveraging the burst of power from the third stage's golden giant elephant.
