*The moment you do, they shatter, but not outward with the direction you strike, rather inward as I come crashing through them and into the opposite wall, slammed and pinned by a solid white energy pillar*

@Abominations

*Bends backwards at the knees to provision a gap between us, narrowly avoiding a collision*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Lands on the ground at the exit and springs through it, red spikes ejecting from the floor and obstructing the doorway just before Akora’s bolts detonate around the floor*

@Abominations

*Slams my palm into the red spikes when I reach them*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Factual.
*The platform suddenly extends to its original length at maximum speed at the same time as I jump, launching me down the stretch of the tower at too fast a speed to see*

@Abominations

*Rockets after you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*On turning around, you see me standing upside down on the bottom of the platform*
Efficient, I like to call them.

@Abominations

*Adjusts my trajectory to hover eye-level with you*
That would be one descriptor.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Fires down a wide spread of teal energy past you, hoping to hit something, then repeats it again*
You didn't see where he went?

@Audacious

He’s right here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Upon diving off, you see no one ahead of you*

@Abominations

Hm.
*Flies back up to the top*
Some love their flashy exits.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

The one who's gone? Lost? Very stupid.

@Audacious

Agreed. But as a preventative measure for a future occurrence, which is code for increasing his own strength.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Unfortunate line of thought. Maybe we can discuss it next time? There should be a next time, if this becomes a trend. My time crunch ended up more pressing than yours though, so until then.
*Falls backward off the lowering platform*

@Abominations

*Dives down after you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You don't believe? Not even refined? No, not on its own. But imagine it takes the place of a million dead fighters. Or a thousand. Or one.
*Steps backward a few steps, and holds my arms out*
Creations like this save people. A better job just needs to be done about maintaining whose hands have the controls. Another, secondary experimental success by the way. Thanks for that.

@Abominations

I'm rarely in favor of consolidating destructive forces into a single power structure.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Wha-
*Surprises myself and shakes my head*
What nonsense has he been spouting now?
*Lets go of the pylons and approaches him*

@Audacious

This is being activated because of Nemid.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What?!

@Audacious

*Drops the silencing spell*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Weapons like this can prevent catastrophes like Nemid from ever reaching such a tipping point again. Why send people to die when things like this exist? Garsun was not a good person, but he left this behind for us to use.

@Abominations

Because beings like you will do things like this. This would not have stopped Nemid.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*The platform starts to lower, along with the rod*
We both just watched the same thing and you come to that conclusion? Tragic.

@Abominations

What other conclusion is there?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I really hope that bit about it all being lifeless was true...

@Audacious

A worthless sacrifice.
