*My voice emits from where you stand*
Alone, I agree. Your magic is quite powerful.

@Etcetera

*Looks around*
Hmph.
*The black aura emits tendrils that scatter across the dimension*

Myriad Reality

*The form deteriorates into chaos energy and disappears*

@Etcetera

*Eats away at what chaos energy I can while it's present, before it leaves*
You bit off more than you could chew, Tier Five.

Myriad Reality

The many faces of treachery.
*The matrix begins emitting a form of life magic*

@Etcetera

Allow me to demonstrate in a way you'll understand.
*The aura flares massively as I furrow my brows, encompassing you a contradictory black glow and decaying your flesh. In an instant, I am next to you, clawing away at what is decomposed*

They can be overcome. But perhaps you have little experience with dimensions in Existence.
*A magic matrix forms around you and analyzes the black aura*

@Etcetera

*A new set of armor forms around me as I heal*
Your newfound ally is causing a lot of restrictions on my capabilities, as I'm sure you know. Were I uninhibited, this would be even less fair for you.
*The black aura appears to be simply an emission of raw power fueled by death*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Chaos magic reforms the missing pieces and incinerates you*
I'm unimpressed.

@Etcetera

*The black aura forms again and the blast is diverted around it*
Dimension locks are a tricky thing. Contingencies are necessary.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Repulse!
*Ejects any foreign magic from my body*

@Etcetera

*With the magic, a massive portion of your inside flesh is ripped from your, revealing a new organism that was quickly growing from your own flesh. I speak very slurred due to a lack of formation, but am clearly very quickly coming together*
Hello, Mishter Shtream.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Abandoning victory for principle is foolish. As I'm sure you understand, death-fueled one.
*Space inside the dimension is scrambled randomly, ripping everything apart*

@Etcetera

Never a need to abandon either.
*Adopts the form of a green energy that flows with the space shifting smoothly. You feel something growing from inside your torso once again, this time different from the explosive energy from moments ago*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*The form dissipates completely*
Invoke System Authority: Contain.
*The dimension locks and shrinks until it is the size of your body*

@Etcetera

And the Tier Five in you shows itself, scampering back to your Systemically-provided power as a crutch.
*Begins to glow with a strong black aura*
At least you'll now provide a challenge with such aid.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

So it seems.
*Snaps*
As have I.
*The dimension is torn into two pieces with you in the center*

@Etcetera

*One half moves to the side as the other half teleports to where it should be, repairing itself*
...
*Shimmers with a green sheen of light for a moment, then points to you and you explode from the inside where the spark resides*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*That body dissipates and another forms on the other side of you*

@Etcetera

*It finds itself in the same situation*
I've quickly set up our new setting in my favor, in the brief moments I had.
