Bruce didn't wait for the energy blast. His heat sped along one arched pillar behind Nexus before being vaporized. The power of the blast would have been fatal, even with the condensed mass of his Ki radiating off him. 

Still, the echoes assured him. His resolve didn't waver. 

Because Nexus had made a bold exaggeration. Every inch? Perhaps a suicide bomber could make such a claim, but Bruce doubted Nexus' "reflection" of abilities extended to Prisma's self-regeneration. And for all the Arcano's power, after the initial blast, it moved like the titan had- slowly, best evidenced by the visible effort Nexus put into the attack.

With another thought, concrete materialized about Nexus' feet. Bruce's Ki made a leap as the Order member heaved. His left hand, shining like it had when he first donned his Ki to turn his body into a weapon, shot up first from the ground, gripping Nexus' armor at the hip.

The souls of the past Ascended bore their weight into the attack once again.

The moment the weight of his Ki moved from his palm to Nexus' armor, the glow receded from his left hand, leaving the dark hue of stone skin behind. Bruce pulled up his torso, the Ki that receded from his planted hand transferring to a blade in his right, which he stabbed toward his hand, aiming to pierce it and Nexus' hip once his armor broke.
