Without Lord Krishna, would it have taken even a millisecond for Bhagdatta to kill Evil Arjuna?

Without Lord Krishna, would it have taken even a millisecond for Bhagadatta to kill Evil Arjuna?
Well…
King Bhagadatta along with his vast army fought “Evil” Arjuna for 8 continuous days but was defeated by “Evil” Arjuna in his Rajasuya campaign.
Where is Sri Krishna here??
There was a mighty king named Bhagadatta there and the great-souled Pandava fought a great battle with him. Pragjyotisha was surrounded by kiratas, chinas9 and many other warriors who lived along the shores of the ocean.10Having continuously fought with Dhananjaya for eight days and finding him to be still untiring on the field of battle, the king smilingly said, “O mighty-armed one! O descendant of the Kuru lineage! O son of the chastiser of Paka! This blazing valour in battle is appropriate for you. O son!11 I am a friend of Indra of the gods and can withstand Shakra in battle. But I cannot withstand you in battle. O Pandava! What is it that you want? What can I do for you? O mighty-armed one! O son! Tell me. I will do what you wish.” Arjuna replied, “King Yudhishthira, the son of dharma, is a bull among the Kurus. I wish that he may become the sovereign and others pay him tribute. You are my father’s friend and have been affectionate towards me too. Therefore, I cannot command you. Please pay it12 happily.”
Digvijaya Parva: Chapter 248(23)
Yes… King Bhagadatta’s Vaishnavastra has the boon of infallibility
But “Evil” Arjuna has the Mighty Pasupatastra of Lord Shiva to counter the Vaishnava weapon.
“The illustrious god said, “O Pandava! I will give you the great Pasupata weapon, dear to me. You will be capable of bearing, releasing and withdrawing it. The great Indra, Yama, the king of the Yakshas, Varuna and Vayu do not know it. How can it be known to humans? O Partha! But it must nor be suddenly released at any man. If it is released at someone who lacks in energy, it will destroy the entire universe. There is no one in the three worlds, mobile or immobile, who cannot be killed by it. It can be released through thoughts, eyes, words or the bow.”293
Kairata Parva: Chapter 338(41)
Yes! Sri Krishna did protect Arjuna from the infallible Vaishnava weapon of King Bhagadatta.
Why did he support Arjuna in the first place?
यतो धर्मस्ततो कृष्णः
Yatho Dharma Tato Krishna
Meaning: Where there is dharma, there is Krishna
So obviously “Evil” Arjuna is in the side of Dharma.
यतो धर्मस्ततो जय:
Yato Dharma Tato Jaya!!
Meaning: Victory only resides in the side of Dharma
This means no matter the circumstances, Arjuna would be the Victor because Dharma is in his side.
