When Bernardo's final blow struck Rocky, the entire venue erupted, but the eruption didn't even last a second before the Central Square fell deathly silent.
Within everyone's sight, eight beams of light had accurately hit Rocky, but the expected fierce explosion did not occur, nor did the scene of Rocky falling to the ground appear. As the eight beams of light struck the Defensive Net Rocky had spread open... there was no follow-up... nothing happened...
The Defensive Net absorbed all eight beams of light!
This scene rendered everyone speechless, so much so that the entire square instantly fell silent; the onlooking citizens were stunned, the members of the Mairente Family were stunned, Bodin and others were stunned, even Bernardo, who was suspended mid-air, was stunned!
At that moment, everyone in the square seemed to have been frozen in time, dumbstruck.
