Artifact

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Lands forcefully beside you, raising my arms up and slamming them down into the opening you’ve made, forcefully attempting to pry it apart like an elevator door*

@Valiance

*With a terrible, wet "schlick" noise, splits into two halves, both floating independently across space and time*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Hurls myself in front of the creature to protect it from any further oncoming strikes*
Roland!
*Lifts my hand and a serrated disk of gold light spirals outward from a central point, which I fling into the broken enemy, cleaving open wide trenches in the new lava pits*

@Nimda

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Stands up straight and lets out a monstrous battle cry before beginning ti repeatedly pound into the surface of the planet, digging through it massive chunk by massive chunk*

@Valiance

*The shock of the combined attacks finally split the body across a seam, cracking and visibly weakening the structural integrity*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

…
*Sighs, and after a moment, likely with Chickpea’s assistance, I lock eyes with the exact point in space where the monster is currently positioned, and I tug on the space held in my grip, defying physics itself and hurling myself instantaneously from where I stand directly into the body if the beast with one of the most catastrophically explosive physical punches ever witnessed*

@Valiance

*The strike rattles across the surface of the spheroid, the kinetic energy instantly bubbling the fleshy stone into lava pits, which evaporate into gas—shockwaves erupt across the internals of the body, and the strike ejects fragments across nearby space; one of the fragments manages to penetrate Faering's aura and scratches the blob creature, the scratch immediately reflecting itself across your own cheek*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*My expression strains and my muscles flex, the aberrations of reality itself beginning to grow more severe and destructive*

@Valiance

*Nothing hampers the attack, stretching across the visible horizon*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Closes my eyes*
Either way…
*Slowly extends my arms forward and grips at the air, space itself physically warping at my fingertips

@Valiance

*You find that it interacts normally, the same as being on the planet physically*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

A duplicate world?
*Return my gaze to my level and glances from side to side*
An illusion.

@Valiance

*The creatures stare at you, unblinking*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

...
*Straightens my posture and looks back up toward the sky*

@Valiance

*The sky seems empty of all life and structures*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*It slams down onto my back, though not fully knocking me away, its weight and force does knock me to one knee. I brace the weight on my back and push myself back up to a standing position, and look at Faering, signaling for her to move*

@Valiance

*As soon as you turn your head to signal, you find yourself on the planet with the black blob creatures, hopping back and forth as if nothing had changed since your last visit*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I'd be horrified to imagine what this thing could do if it got its hands on either of you.
*Lifts my hand and manifests a small blue ball from my palm, which begins spinning rapidly and blasting lasers from its surface rapidly and erratically at all approaching entities like a disco ball of death*

@Magnanimity

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

No kidding.
*Each of the lasers are coated in an aura of holy golden light, which adds additional piercing effects to the entity*

@Nimda

*A monstrous, disembodied tendril crashes down onto all of you from behind*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Charges a beam of golden light from my palm, which annihilates all of the tendrils and burrows deeper into the surface of the celestial body*

@Nimda

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

…
*Raises my fist and slams it down into the ground, firing the bullet-esque structure at blinding speed into the living world, shredding through its surface and internals*

@Valiance

*Enormous cracks open up along the surface on impact, releasing uncountable armies of additional tendrils, all of which worm toward you and seem to move faster when not in your direct line of sight, but the larger of which approach in no hurry*
