*Smashes through it, the earth as well as through the hull of the ship*

@Melodious

*As you do so, I phase out of reality and appear before you, striking with a psychic fist directly into your sternum.*

I like this new form.

*I follow this up with an assault upon your mind, aiming to leave you stunned and disoriented.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

In what way?

@Source

I'll tag him with psi, you bag him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

That, but also whether to even propose the annexation at all.

@Armed Forces

A refusal is basically guaranteed, so I wouldn't bother.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Slams the ground with my palm, causing a crushing force of earth around you*

@Source

Tag team?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*The force nullifies totally not long after I slam through the ground. I point my palm up at you, then pause for a moment before disappearing into the earth going upward from a different angle, emerging on a trajectory with the bottom of the ship*

@Melodious

*I reach out with my psychic abilities and grab you from behind, violently yanking you in my direction.*

Oh, we're not done talking.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Nothing needs given. I'm taking it.
*Glances between the points where each of the three designated people are at present, having determined their exact locations, before disappearing in the direction Ona was sent flying earlier*

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

Destruction is is stupid. Mindless destruction is worthless. My sole intent is to use Existence.

@Melodious

You don't think like I do. Then again, not many do. You know what? You've piqued my curiosity. What would a cosmic entity like you, a being of literal deific strength, which I would know, since we've killed a few, want with this place?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

I'll definitely keep that in mind for the final determination. Though, it's not really my say. I don't work directly for the government. I'm with a private group, I only report.

@Armed Forces

Determination as to what? Whether to reveal yourselves or not? Or are we talking something else?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

That's cute and all.

<Snipped quote by Source>

But things will be easier if we tie up loose ends before grinding the rest of you down.
*Despite experiencing spatial division, the crystal continues to acts as a unit*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Your head seems to glow with an ominous green light out of nowhere, though it seems harmless. The same happens to Isaac and Ona*

@Melodious

You've done me a favor, my friend.

*I propel myself directly into the aura, feeling as my body withers and dies. And yet, I do not. By sheer force of will, I live on metaphysically, a quite literal shadow of my former self.*

Now, regarding the slow decay of space you're causing. Is this- *I point to my hazy self.* -intended? Because if it isn't, then you're in trouble. You see...

*All over the system, warpspace rifts begin to open, spewing out thousands upon thousands of spacecraft, each flying the banner of the Withers.*

If what happened to me were to happen to that... best case scenario is you spawn a metaphysical race of Withers into the galaxy who are just as powerful psychically, if not more, yet even harder to kill. Worst case... even I don't want to talk about that. Unless, of course, you were trying to simply destroy Existence, in which case you and I should hang out sometime.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

Yes and no. Our expansion is predicated on willingness and cooperation, not hostile or forceful takeover.

@Armed Forces

Then I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. You see, we've had our own problems with extraterrestrial entities. Notably, the Infestation, when a force of these parody-humans appeared on our world and laid waste to it. They could only feel joy from sadism, so they would torture anyone they captured. It took us two years and ten million people to fend them off. Now, our governments are rabidly xenophobic, and you being human would only aggravate them, as these aliens could shapeshift into those they killed. In short, if you showed up, don't be surprised if the world does not take kindly to your appearance.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

I'm through playing. I'm finishing you all off at together.

<Snipped quote by Source>

*The purple seems to be changing to more of a blue, and the more you attack it now, the more actively it seems to sap from you. Space itself is modulates around me, mimicking an aura as it becomes more heavily Outside than Existence*

@Melodious

Oooh, this is good.

*I reach one hand into the aura. It comes back rotten and skeletal. Yet still, the fingers move, though there it nothing to move them. I reach in once more, pulling out with no hand at all, but a wisp of shadowy smoke closely resembling one in shape.*

Nemid, anathema of Existence, destroyer of worlds, and- I'm just making this up. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What are we going to do about you? You forget, we are the epitome of resilience. Even if matter cannot exist here...

*I grab a Vampyr and hurl him, screeching, into the void. He comes back a shadowy, phantom creature with two glowing points of white light for eyes.*

Life finds a way.
