*Seems to ponder, stressed, for a moment*
How do you claim portions of Existence?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Slashes through it faster than you can collect, destroying what wasn’t already by the explosion*
I told you, Unity. No more for you. It only gets worse from here.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Amaranthine layers block you from drawing in Outside*

Another failure.

*Amaranthine pillars hit you from all sides*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

You have to access the Gears of Existence, but the best way I can explain it is to connect to the Gears and exert your influence over a particular region. If you can defend your claim, you obtain the Territory.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Unfortunately for you, I don't need it.
*Grabs your face and slams it into my knee*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Grunts*
I didn’t want to have to walk this path again...
...
One last question. You even knew the one directly responsible for the change. Were you in on planning this?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

The goal of a System change has been in the works prior to the Tier Five collapse, though the means have been developed and refined over time. You see, the Tier System was built on top of the Nobility System, preventing it from ever becoming completely stable, and required regular upkeep.

*Recoils from it, albeit emotionlessly, as I unleash a speedy flurry of energy-boosted jabs to your body*
At what point will you lose the ability to keep up? Or have you already?

@Heroic

*static amaranthine coats your hands*

That should help.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I see. I never intended to step into the Existential scene on this scale again, let alone so soon. But I have people who depend on me, and I don’t intend to let them down.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*Breathes deeply and matches each one with my palm*
I have no need for Outside to destroy each one of you.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

It won't help.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I see. Do not fear for the safety of those you love; we anticipate this to be a short development.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Anything can happen in those brief moments, my friend. I have no choice, and I’ll have a lot to think about afterwards. Thank you for your time.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

As close as I was to matching your “perfection” earlier, do you really believe that?
*Without stopping, delivers a kick to the side of your head with force greater than the sum if all the punches thrown in this attack*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

After the fear you've displayed? Please.
*Moves downward to avoid the attack and punches directly upward to knock your leg out of place*

...
*Takes a deep breath*
Claim Territory: Endymion.

*Takes a deep breath*
Claim Territory: Endymion.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Falls in motion with the attack and strikes your leg similarly, before taking off and stopping a short distance away*
So you do have some base level of capability without the Outside. Well done!
*Picks up the pace, becoming a blur as I move around you, dealing swift strikes randomly to your body whenever I happen to pass close to you*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Dad, was that really a good idea?
