Artifact

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Any sort of reversal in time that would directly affect this dimension specifically, or the efforts I've put in place to keep time from passing within this space.

@souleaterfan320

Then we have to make sure going backwards would kill him more quickly than going forwards. In three minutes, the shots I sent into the future should meet their mark. He needs to be trapped in that moment.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

My hand reaches out, seemingly grasps air, as a silver and gold spark flashes out into a clockface around my hand, as time slows to a stop, and I walk toward you, as you seem uneffected by the event*

We have ten seconds mminimum before your friend figures out what I just did. There is a being here that relies on the quality of halted time to remain sealed. If we reverse time in any slightly meaningful way, even so much as three seconds, it could break the seal, and we'd be in deep trouble. This thing sealed here... its been here since before the tier fives. I've only seen it once outside of my own timeline... it's destruction knows no bounds. We cannot risk it getting loose, as Aeron and the amaranthine plan on using it in their war. And, apparently, your friend here wants it too.

@souleaterfan320

What qualifies as "back in time"? Rewinding the entire world? Stepping back personally? Taking a detour through the desert? Time isn't limited to just forward and back, and it's critical we get this right.

*Looks up at the highest pillar with my arm droops down, and then the earring flashes*
My power is absolute. Death has rejected me, and the waters embraced me.
*A deluge of soul-eroding water burst forth from the pillars and shoot after you*

@Legend Begins

*Shoots into the waters, tearing open a desert wind, whose dust eagerly licks up the liquid*
Not today. The waters and sands have equal influence here.

*another piece flits by*
ANYTHING THAT TURNS TIME BACK AND AFFECTS THIS REALM

@souleaterfan320

I need more detail!
*Fires a bullet that flashes for an infinitesimal and then blinks out*
Three minutes. We have one chance to get this right.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

As I have found out. Shall we?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*stone wraps around your feet, as 3 blades find their way into your ribcage cavities, slamming into internal organs*

Dane: You and people liek you are problematic. You can't leave well enough alone.

*a note materializes and flits past Time Line, with a note that reads: DO NOT LET HIM REVERSE TIME, AND NEITHER SHOULD WE. BAD NEWS IF WE DO.*

@souleaterfan320

What qualifies?
*Slashes the knife out of my path with the razor-sharp bottom face of my gun*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I see.

*my hands summon 12 razor-sharp blades, as 4 more assimilate into being around me, aimed at the councilman*

Am I allowed to prune this one with you? His existence here is a threat to all we know.

@souleaterfan320

You'll find him a difficult one to kill. That artifact of his is no joke.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*My earrings flash and you find me several steps away*
As I told you, I am entirely unkillable. You cannot sever this current from the flow.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Had you announced your rebellion so openly in the past, you could have saved us much trouble.

@Legend Begins

None of the other witnesses lived to tell the tale. Nor shall you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I see.

*looks to the enemy*

An associate of yours, I presume?

@souleaterfan320

One of formerly twelve thorns in my side.
*Fires a bullet into the future*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*my eyes squint*

Old aquiantan-

*my eyes widen*

...its you, isn't it, Time Line?

@souleaterfan320

It is indeed.
*Withdraws the gun and points it at the councilman*
With a vendetta.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*my image seems to flicker before it fades, and you feel a cold, steel edge to the side of your throat*

Ill kill you all if I have to. Leave my home.

@souleaterfan320

*At the same time, the hot barrel of my gun meets the bottom of your chin*
What a way to greet an old acquaintance with nothing to lose.
