Myriad Reality

… What’s the goal of this exactly?

@Magnanimity

No matter what the circumstances are, this place is an abomination. It has to go. And if the anathemic creature goes with it, all the better.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

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

@Artifact

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The creatures stare at you, unblinking*

@Artifact

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The sky seems empty of all life and structures*

@Artifact

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by 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*

@Artifact

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

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

@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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*That visage completely fades away in the midst of the attack, which tears large chunks from the main body and are quickly addressed by the wriggling tendrils that aim to fill in the gaps*

@Artifact

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Extending out from the platform Roland stands on, a larger structure comprised if blue hexagons manifests itself, from a flat 2-dimensional platform and rounding out into what appears to be a giant bullet aimed straight down toward the abomination*

@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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*What seem to be ghostly, disembodied hands extend forward from the main body of the sphere and clasp at you*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Rocks at the impact, and several translucent white tendrils wriggle together to repair the damage*

@Artifact

*Lurches, in a sudden, jerking motion, into a swift jab at the air toward you that sends a crack in spacetime surging toward the sphere, splitting reality like an earthquake severing the ground from itself*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*One of the wisps extends and curls around you*

@Artifact

*Flips forward several times and comes to a halt, landing suddenly and forcefully onto one of Chickpea’s artificial platforms*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The golden light attempts to escape me and is again repressed while I grit my teeth*
That backstabbing...
*Holds up my hand, and a sphere of pure white light erupts from my fingertips and crashes into the smoky appendages pointed toward us*

@Nimda

Just a little longer!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I'd like to keep it that way.
*Soon we approach the heart of the creature, a pale quasi-spherical bulb that emits white, ghastly tendrils like solar flares, and responds to our presence as we approach by pointing two thirds of the wisps toward us*

@Nimda

Ideally.
*Focuses my gaze ahead toward the target*
