Even better than the garden's cannons, Ozy can summon the aritillery cannons of Mesektet from way above the sky and shoot beams down at his command, making it extremely hard to directly attack and destroy the ship while the garden is pretty much a sitting duck waiting to be destroyed.
Just because its poison can work on servants doesn't mean it will work on a divine beast. And I'm talking about the unnamed sphinx that attacked Arthur and was killed by him. Since I'm too sleepy to find exact quotes in the novel, I'm gonna use the JP wiki here:
- Has movement speed and attack speed said to be defying the laws of physics despite being as big as a truck.
- Can dash in the air to attack in all directions.
- Fangs and nails being its weapon and its attack can create shockwaves from sheer speed and power.
- Claws can turn into heat blades by adding magic energy that even Arthur's armor couldn't withstand.
- Arthur's Invisible Air Prana Burst couldn't stop its rush attack.
- Extremely intelligent and can adapt to many situations, it can even improvise unpredictable attacks.
- Its roar carries flame which turns into some kind of fire tornado explosion to melt everything on its path.
- Even after having its head cut off, still able to perceive the enemy's moment and fight as if nothing happened. No temple involved being mentioned her.
But apparently it's just a low tier sphinx acting as scout for Ozy, and he has at least 8 of those. I might miss some details cuz this is just a summary from the JP wiki.
Also since the sphinxes's body are made of either flesh or stones without changing its abilities, I highly doubt Bashmu's poison can work on the ones made out of stones.
