Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Several crystals dance around me, all emitting a similar effect*
Is that so?

@Legend

Don't make me... Just let me end it.
*A foreboding presence projects itself across the cosmos*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*As soon as it reaches you, the forged crystal detonates with world-shattering explosive power*

@Legend

*Shields my face from it so I can keep sight of you*
I never had to hurt anyone anywhere else...
*The absorbing effect of the crystal continues to increase*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Tosses the crystal high into the air and throws two daggers into it*

@Legend

I want to go!
*Ensnares the crystal in a whiplike strand of Brinkspace and pulls it toward me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Throws two daggers into your body*

@Legend

*They stab into and through me without resistance*
I can’t do it anymore. They’re just going to keep coming, and I’ll just have to keep hurting. Why here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Picks up the crystal as well*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

It is considered a sign of respect toward powerful opponents to vocally recognize their strength. Accordingly, I am bound by honor to inform you that this will end quickly.

@Legend

*It exerts the exact same effect on you and the space you occupy. I stare blankly off to an arbitrary point in the distance*
I want it to end.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Does everything I can to hold onto the crystal*

@Source

*The tighter you hold it, the more it subjects you to its absorption. The more you loosen your grip, the stronger its pull toward me becomes*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*From an indiscernible location, cuts diagonally across your body with daggers, cutting you into thirds*

@Legend

*Looks down at the cuts*
Not another...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*The flesh on my face twists, and my eye implodes into mush*
Clearly.
*With a final push, a horizontal shaft cuts its way forward and ejects me, my body contorted in several locations, with the crystal close to me; a beacon of light bursts upward from me and my voice is amplified as the microdimension collapses behind me*
Crystal obtained. Send backup.
*Deactivates my ability everywhere in the dimension*

@Source

*The crystal, not long after its coloration dullens, begins to unpredictably absorb space around it, attempting to suck in reality, people, and everything indiscriminately at a gradually increasing rate*
And we will now claim what is ours, and soon reclaim the lost progress...
*Speaks relieved as I contort my manipulated Brinskpace to shield the gem, but not in a full sphere around it, allowing it to have its way with reality*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Holds out my hands, gathering the oppressive force*
...Enough.
*Collects every scrap of force and energy from the micro-dimension, along with all forces being applied to its exterior, resulting in an null emptiness devoid of any and all constructs; immediately after, beams of the collected forces shoot into the crystal, expelling all of the energy and reaccumulating to continue the process of hammering at its form*

@Source

*The color on the crystal begins to dull, and the entire dimension's stability is questioned by the sheer level of energy it is being forced to contain*
You've abused your position long enough.
*Placing my hands on its exterior, I spread a hollow bubble of Brinkspace reality around the microdimension*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*The crystal’s force containment flicks outward, ejecting you from the expanding space*

@Source

*The crystal itself begins applying a super intense pressure on the inside of the field*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Your manipulatory limb falters and halts, a different consciousness controlling it.*

@Tank O The Lake

*It retracts back into my body*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*As soon as you approach, the containment chamber explodes outwardly into a rhomboid pseudo-dimension, empty space contorting itself to fill the void; the external boundary of the space violently reacts to anyone near it, and the crystal inside the space is subjected to a relentless onslaught of varied matter and energy being generated from nothing within the area*

@Source

*Snaps my hand back for a moment to see what exactly is happening, then quickly snatches at the crystal anyway*

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*My voice still rings out.*

Oh, you think space is going to stop me? Thanks to your gift, I am no longer spatially constrained. I can be here-

*My voice comes from behind you.*

Or here-

*Left.*

Or there-

*Up.*

Maybe even here-

*From everywhere at once.*

Anywhere I want to be. So now we get to work.

*My metaphysical form dissolves like smoke in the wind. Then, my voice rings out from within your head. You feel your pain-receptors being prodded and activated, one by one.*

I'm going to enjoy this.

@Tank O The Lake

*Given that I have no true physical body in the traditional sense, and my anatomy is unknown, I don't seem to have any pain receptors that activate*
Enjoy it while you last.
*Stays focused on the gem*
