*Blood that runs down the length of the blade is purified into water, resulting in a slowing effect applied to its owners*
Check.
*Lifts the midnight-black blade and thrusts it into the surface of ruined planet, unleashing a fissure that extends across the sphere's surface and splits it into two pieces, which rise up and slam back together onto all combatants as the claymore returns to its normal color*

@Memory

*Is enveloped by the attack without enough time to react*

I will demonstrate the true power of omniscience.
*In a clean motion, drives the knife into my own abdomen—time seems to jerk to a stop a fraction of a moment before each strike lands, and all color is drained from the region, casting the appearance of light and dark splotches across the landscape; as soon as the last blow connects, the world appears to lurch back to normal, but I instead stand several yards away with my now-onyx sword held out to the side, having sliced through each aggressor in the intervening moment*

@Memory

*Hacks up a large amount of blood and drops to one knee, holding the wound*
Cocky…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Black orbs shoot into the path of the accelerated rods and surround them, transporting them through another set of orbs that fly near you—at the same time, I emit a pulse from my body that suspends the shrapnel in the air before dropping it to the ground*

@Memory

*Leaps forward in a wide arch through the air as the shrapnel drops, bringing one fist down in a chopping motion on the side of your neck, then follows up with a quick jab to the gut with my other hand*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The rods crash into the sides of the bubbles, charged by the interaction*

@Memory

*The bubbles themselves dissipate, and my armor glistens. The shattered remains of the broken blades gather into my hand and then immediately explode like directed shrapnel at you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*They each press against the barrier, blade forward, while five unassuming rods swing on an axis in your direction, but each is stopped by the blade of a knife*

@Memory

*A blue bubble forms around every blade, as well as in my hand, and upon crushing the one in my hand, the same happens to every other, causing the blades to shatter*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*One of the knives dashes to intercept it, while the bundle of blades around you homes in on your position*

@Memory

*Shields my face as the blades themselves pepper a blue barrier protecting me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*A flat, translucent panel materializes just before each blow, while the second shatters and unleashes the energy put into it*
We'll see.
*Duplicates of my claymore and knife fill the area, interleaved between each other*

@Memory

*Catches the burst of energy in my hand redirects it as a focused kinetic bolt through your knee*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Cleanly swings my knife up to completely absorb the momentum of the hit, and continues to stand amidst the gravity well*
I rarely take my own missions. Make sure I enjoy this one.

@Memory

I hope you enjoy it while it lasts too, because there’s not a chance you’ll be having fun when it’s over.
*Brings the back of my other hand down onto you in another blow, while in the same motion flipping around and planting the back of my heel into your head with grace very uncharacteristic of someone my size before landing on my other foot*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*turns to you*

If you need a defensive layer or healing, allow me to assist.

@souleaterfan320

Chickpea is my support. Focus more on the others, I’ll be fine.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I have to say, I'm disappointed so far. If there really is strength in this dimension, I haven't seen it.

@Memory

I wasn’t fighting you.
*My knuckles crack and I grin slightly*
Yet.
*Blitzes off in your direction, getting above you and thrusting my palm down on your head in the blink of an eye, both hitting you physically and drastically spiking gravity where you stand for just an instant*
