<Snipped quote by System>

*Whether by some higher power or an indistinguishable property, the crystal remains anchored to me and my presence, in our current state*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I wasn't lying when I told that moron over there that it's been over. This isn't a fight of whether I get Existence or not, it's a fight for us to make this as painless for you all as possible. Drop the barriers.

@Melodious

*Looks toward the wall for a moment, and then back to you*
...Area steals, stepsword!
*Materializes next to you after four hops and swings a sword into your torso while also lunging my other hand toward where X aimed for the crystal and grabs onto it with all my might*

[Dynamics]

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Worth conversing with enough for you to step out and defend your ego, it seems.
*Maintains my distance from the creature on a flight path away from it, flying backwards to address you*

@Nemeses

It's one of the few things worth defending.
*The giant swats you out of the air and I meld back into it*

@Melodious

*It makes an additional effort to analyze its ability to influence the world around it and attempts to contain it by cutting off its connection to Existence*

@Webmaster

*Ignores the sword, grabbing you by the wrist the moment you lunge and yanking you toward me such that we are nose-to-nose*
The level to which you in this Existence are okay with wasting souls? It almost makes me regret wanting to spare so many of you.
*Crushes your wrist in my hands with exponentially increasing strength*
Lower the barriers.

@System

*No information on that regard can be obtained as it is not doing anything at the moment besides residing within my head, its state continuing to be absolute and unchanging*

@Dynamics

They say actions speak louder than words, but this is one of the poorest displays I've seen.
*Remains just out of its reach*

@Melodious

Why? With all of your control, why is a handful of my viruses stopping you?
*Juts the sword upward*

@Nemeses

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I usually destroy things native to Existence. But don’t worry, with enough time you’ll fall like the rest.

@Webmaster

It’s not about the viruses.
*Removes my camouflage and reveals to be floating very near the both of you*
Is it, Nemid? It’s not even about us.

*It finds itself stopped by a solid manifestation within my body*
It’s always been about you.

@Dynamics

There is no end for me.
*Clasps both hands together, and pulls them apart, revealing a stretchy band of something gray that I throw towards the giant, which wraps around it repeatedly across its whole body*

*Dematerializes the sword and reaches with my other hand*
How?

@Nemeses

Then it looks like we’ll be here a while.
*The giant emits the same cloud of destruction*

How?

@Webmaster

*Grabs that hand with my other hand, crushing it just like the other one*
There weren’t supposed to be so many deaths!

@Melodious

*A cybersword extends in place of my hand, jabbing into the crystal, and I wince*
That's your fault!

@Webmaster

*It scrapes off the crystal on impact*
It’s yours. Lethal options were never on the table. Not initially...
*Appears solemn for a moment before re-tensing up and putting even more pressure on*
Drop them.

@Melodious

*The blade retracts*
Why?

@Webmaster

My people have no inclination towards killing, but Artahe has spent an eternity living in your reality. He is my aid in your reality, but Existence has corrupted him in my eyes. Anyone you leave with him as opposed to me, will undoubtedly be killed.

@Melodious

Why do you want me to get rid of the viruses?

@Webmaster

Your will to oppose only perpetuates the needless conflict and death. Each of you is an individual obstacle, and while I could just bypass your barrier with ease, that doesn’t solve the problem that is you.

@Melodious

*Frowns*
You want to break our will.
