Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*That me self-destructs with dimension-rippling force*
Existence is greater than you are. Even if you strike me down today, you will fail to accomplish your goal.

@Source

It is quite literally less than me. The body you call "Existence" is so much less than me, it's laughable. But I never thought that about the people in it.
*Turns to the next you I can find and assumes a defensive stance*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*That me disappears and another grabs you in a headlock*
That’s not for me to determine.

@Source

If you do not think for yourself, then who is to blame for sending you to your demise?
*The "flesh" around my neck grows and wraps around your arm, reattaching itself to me on the other end, then slowly sinking back inward, pulling you into the empty void that makes up my body slowly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*That me disappears, and another strikes you in the chest to send a shockwave through your body*
I’m not making any assumptions about your restrictions.

@Source

*The crystal vibrates smoothly in response to the reverberations*
You should be making assessments like that. It'd save you the trouble of figuring out if this is worth fighting for.
*Turns and strikes diagonally downward across your chest, cutting reality with a Brinkspace-tear that would spread dimension-wide but is stopped by the dome*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Slams my palm against your chest, causing millions of force needles to pierce your body*

@Source

For starters...
*They all slow to a crawl once they impale me and are dissipated*
I had a means to eject Isaac from this... Lockdown. Surely, you assume, that would mean I could do the same for myself, and get around this headache?
*Reaches toward your head, as though grabbing it without touching it, and performs a squishing motion, causing the space around it to collapse entirely*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*The one you strike grabs your arm and crushes it in his grip*

@Source

*It crumples without opposition to the force, and two of my fingers extend, stabbing into you and cutting upward, just as the reality overlay closes and returns us to the normal battlefield, without Isaac*
He does put forth his best effort, but he really underestimates so much.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Splits into ten duplicates, each emitting sharp, oppressive waves of force while reaching into your flesh, one of which vying for the crystal*

@Source

*The farther into my new form you seem to reach, the slower you seem to move, as I make a slashing motion with my hand at one of you, which simultaneously delivers the same blow to each of you to knock you back*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

If he were not your most significant roadblock, you wouldn’t offer this deal. Waternaux will live.

@Source

It wasn't so much a deal. I'm not leaving decisions like this in your hands.
*Holds out my hand, palm up, as reality around us begins to collapse back down*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Releases a counter-wave that collides with yours and splits the ground horizontally as far as can be seen*

@Source

*My arm morphs back to normal*
I don't want to kill the boy. Really, despite his ability to be a major thorn, he's easily rendered useless when stripped of his resources. Let's, you and I, go back.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Places two fingers against the blade and halts its movement without being cut*
Would that change anything?

@Source

... Not anymore.
*Unleashes a kinetic wave from the blade to separate you from Isaac*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Instead of organs and flesh, the attack twists and ripples through the clay-like substance that makes up my body*

@Source

So mysterious, Fourth. Are you even really here? Is this a projection of self you're capable of through some means?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Dashes to you and manually displaces the blood from your lungs, replacing it with air*

@Source

*Just as quickly drops down to both of you, smashing down onto Isaac's legs and forming a blade in place of my arm, slashing at your neck in an attempt to sever your head*
