<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The shape of the bowl itself funnels the blast so it explodes upwards into a spire of sorts*

@Valiance

*The gold particulates rain down over the city like a shower, and nothing remains in the sphere*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You mutilating yourself was a good enough warning.
*The forcefield ball halves itself once more, returning to the bowl shape it was initially and opening up*

@Valiance

I didn't realize you watched that.
*The metal explodes as soon as it's exposed to oxygen*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I’m going to release this one. Assuming it’s still alive.

@Valiance

Don't let it touch you. Its metal is infectious.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Where it came from? I mean, not beyond the fact that it came from that direction.
*Tilts my head toward the original path it intercepted us from*

@Valiance

It wouldn't surprise me if these things are roaming the city, looking for us.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I don't believe you.

@Valiance

I don't imagine we're so lucky as to be able to track the source from this statue?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Shifts my fist's position slightly several more times, repeating the process until there is no reaction*

@Valiance

*The only reaction is the rippling of now-liquid gold*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Drops down next to the ball on the ground, plants my fist on its surface calmly, and unleashes a spear of kinetic force through its surface and impaling the dragon with the sheer directed energy*

@Valiance

*The metal inside the statue ripples, but no longer increases in pressure*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The ball begins to forcibly shrink around the dragon*
Understood.

@Valiance

*The gold becomes hyper-dense and grows hotter inside the container*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Depends how hard it can fight back.

@Valiance

If you can kill it without touching it, do it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

What’s the goal here, are we going for the kill?

@Valiance

If Chickpea can keep up that barrier, I say let the drone flounder in there while we look.
