Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Holds up my hand and catches the distortion itself in my palm, as though catching a stream of liquid that solidifies on contact. I crush this phenomenon in the palm if my hand, causing a chain reaction of spacetime detonations back to you*

@Valiance

*Disentangles and releases the distortion, shearing the region in space again*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That’d be great if it was even remotely what I came here for.
*Holds out my hand into the unstable space, cupping it in my palm as though it were a physical pool*

@Valiance

That stinks for you, then.
*Flicks the twisted spacetime into your face*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Follows its motion with my eyes and takes a deep breath*

@Valiance

I'll give you credit and acknowledge your strength.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Stands within a bubble of stable space in the empty void and sighs*

@Valiance

*The spacetime fabric twirls around the tip of my clawed finger, while the turbulence starts to acquire a steadier flow*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Really going to tear it down anyway? Darn cowards. What's the source?

@Valiance

*Waves*
Buh bye.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

No more of that.
*Holds my hands out in front of me and brings the two orbs close together, intensifying their anomalous properties and projecting them in your direction as well, causing spacial ruptures as well as what feels like physical blows with every wave*

@Valiance

*A thunderlike crackle reverberates throughout the dimension, rattling our area as well*
Fine.
*Punches in your direction, ejecting you from the mist with harsh contortions*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Despite the resistance, I still move with surprising swiftness, moving my top half aside and putting my body into a full blow to the stomach, applying a massive gravitational intensity on your gut as well as spatial ruptures where you stand*

@Valiance

*Blips away before it makes contact to another region of the mist, while the area I stood before thickens into the shape of my own form and moves in sync with me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Whips my arms around, shaking the mist off, and clamps down hard on the balls, causing my fists to collapse to the center of the balls so that I now where the anomalies like gloves. I rear back and slam my fist into the aura, cracking the very space it occupies*

@Valiance

*Claps my hands together, causing the mist to completely fill the area around us, making movement slow like a viscous liquid*
...
*Manifests next to you, unhindered by the mist, and strikes through your throat, piercing a semi-physical plane with the aid of the mist*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The effect remains continuous, and as I continue to strain my hands against the anomalies they hold, the effects only grow more intense*

@Valiance

*The mist collects around the anomalies like a thick paste, and attempts to seal in their effects*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Manifests behind you, along with blue glyphs that focus energy in their center and bombard you with repeated explosive laser blasts from multiple angles*

@Magnanimity

*My pupils flatten horizontally and quickly snap back to their original shape, now trained on one of the glyphs*
Nice try.
*The orbs again manifest around me and shoot their own beams at the lasers, bursting into more of the mist on contact*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Presses the distorted space orbs against the aura as they attempt to grab me, keeping them at bay and sending essence-tearing distortions throughout its presence*

@Valiance

*The corrosive wind blows out from damage done to the aura, and the silver light from before starts to fill in the injured sections*
