I can’t say. What I can say is that I refuse to believe he is. Because if Artahe is beyond us, then where does that put Nemid whenever it is that he comes back?

@Galaxy Raider

Nemid appears to have some critical weakness. Artahe might not.

Low, and dwindling fast.
*Looks off into space silently for a moment*
Artahe is at the heart of the carnage. Robyn seems to have broken away from Maelstrom somehow, and... Appears to be alone.

@Galaxy Raider

Hm. Does Artahe appear to be beyond our capability right now?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I can’t pretend to know which is the right call.

@Galaxy Raider

How many forces do we have left? And are both targets visible?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

You ran into him, did you?
*Sighs*
Not a perfect solution, but Ridge believed the enhanced capabilities were needed. We can cross that bridge later, though.
*Turns toward the side of the universe where the fighting is concentrated*
Suddenly, a lot of people are dying. The rest of the Big X are occupying Graveny for me. We need to find Artahe or Robyn.

@Galaxy Raider

Artahe is who Nemid targeted. That would make him either the prime target or that to be avoided.

*Nods*
I'm not so sure Nemid is defeated, so I don't know what level of victory there is. But we should use what time we can to try and designate a target underling and take them out.

@Galaxy Raider

We also need to prevent Maelstrom from having any kind of physical form when this is over.

<Snipped quote by System>

I can't say I'm clued in... What did you two pull off? By the sound of it, Nemid is livid.

@Galaxy Raider

A new type of weapon. I didn’t have the opportunity to unpack the details myself.

*In a twinkle, I am suddenly visible, and just as quickly I rocket to you and come to a stop*
X, was that you? You're the only being my systems recognized near whatever just happened.

@Galaxy Raider

I was merely the messenger. Your son was the primary victor today.

*My voice seems to resonate from everywhere*
I was wrong to assume we could grant this level of mercy to this Existence. Artahe... Thin the herd. Cut their will down.

*Crushes the head of the Falzar with absolute force, simultaneously to the bomb activating on proximity and digging in to the essence of my person. A constant, intense stream of energy sprays out from where it was inserted into Bass Cross. The light on the bomb flashes in all directions, revealing a tiny purple crystal in my head, which it then bonds to before detonating, focusing the explosion entirely in the one direction such that it hits and envelops the crystal. My body is blown apart into its essence and scattered as the crystal disappears from sight, and the confined universe itself seems to shake and even howl from the sheer quantity of new energy released into it*

@Melodious

*The dark copy of myself dissipates into Dark Power as I retreat into Melody Cross and summon a shield and Life Aura, flying back to where I came as quickly as I can*
