Jenso's attacks pierced the surrounding golems one after another, destroying them before they could react. With all of their lasers on cool down after blocking Jenso's earlier attack, they were sitting ducks. In a very short amount of time, they were all reduced to ash. Geode grit his non-existent teeth, contorting the ethereal mass around where his jaw would've been and aiming up at the sphere that overlooked the battlefield. "This isn't what you were meant for! Your existence is no coincidence!" Geode roared, conjuring a giant barrier around the sphere and Helix and quickly moved to envelope the entirety of the upper citadel, spreading to wrap every inch of the white, crisscrossing stone arches. "It must be fate! You are here to become my [i]new body,[/i] as a final repentance for Gaia's wrongdoings! For the wrongdoings of my golems!" The shattered remains of Gol-Ira, through to Gol-Ino were barely visible, scattered among the rubble all around Geode. Each impact punch, individually, could not harm Geode's barrier. His essence flickered, maintaining itself through severe difficulty. He was struggling to project his barrier, but it moved to surround him as well, moments afterwards. A long tube of dark energies surrounding Geode, and the platform he stood on, giving up a small foothold as he coated the entire citadel in dark energies. The sheer size of the barrier was astounding, how could he manage to defend his entire stronghold with one barrier? "I'll wait," Geode grunted, "I'll wait until your form withers, and your body falls limp!" Oz approached from below, but now the barrier was tightly fastened. Fastened, but [i]not ethereal.[/i] Geode had given them something to [i]hit.[/i] But Jenso's energy quickly began to dither. His wings faded and reformed, struggling to maintain themselves. One moment he was full power, the next, he was falling from the sky. Was Pij at her limit? Geode laughed aloud as Jenso's form began to fall apart. "Not much longer now!" He said victoriously, "I did not account for this. I did account for your [i]power,[/i] but this is fine! I had every other angle covered, I can adapt to [b]everything you have to throw at me! I understand your stolen powers completely, Jenso![/b]"
