Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Returns the pieces as quickly as possible to my damaged core and flings them one by one into the damaged regions of the gate, creating a mosaic of patchwork repairs*

@Nimda

*Soars past you overhead, then stops running, falling toward the gate and slamming into it with a massive dropkick*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The shards that make up my body swarm and encapsulate you in a sphere, leaving no room for escape*

@Nimda

*The size and shape of the shards contort as my hands reveal themselves from within, gripping space itself and stretching it to make room for myself*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*After a few moments of sustained pressure, the beam melts a red-hot circle through the unbroken half of the gate*

@Nimda

*Drops my arm and the pressure is relieved, but my momentum through the air remains*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*It hits one of the many pieces in my wings, cracking it—the remaining slabs rearrange themselves into a disk around my core, which trains a red beam directly onto you*

@Nimda

*Rears back and throws my fist forward, toward it. The beam curves around the trajectory of my blow, then continues on its prior course, albeit shifted slightly, and rockets past me while a huge buildup of pressure slams into you, through you, and into the gate directly behind you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*It returns as if controlled by strings, flying into your back, toward the amalgam*

@Nimda

*Just before the impact, it is caught by blue voxels, wedged in place just beyond the surface of my armor*
I’m losing patience for this already. Want it back? Take it.
*Reaches behind me and grabs it. Then, in one swift motion, I hurl it forward as though throwing a dagger, sending a huge krakoom sound rippling across the plains from the speed and force*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*One of the many fragments of my wings fly out at you like a blunted sword*

@Nimda

*Crosses my arms in front of me and parries the projectile away, sending it flipping through the air overhead*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Adjusts my position to stand directly in front of the damaged section of the gate, which towers over the field, while the other half continues to close*

@Nimda

*Takes a huge leap up into the air, continuing to dash upward while it appears I am running on the air*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The space immediately surrounding the beam dims as if covered by shadow, and the beam vanishes just as quickly*

@Nimda

*Shoves my hand into the ground as I run, gripping the earth and tearing up a huge chunk of it in an unnatural shape, only disturbing the ground between me and you and removing your footing*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Remains still momentarily, filling the gate with a scarlet light that flashes briefly before it gradually begins to close*

@Nimda

*Under the curtain of the smoke, makes a direct beeline toward the gate*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Straightens out my wings as a crackle ripples through the perceivable area, preceding red bolts of angelic power striking randomly throughout the cloud*

@Nimda

*The smoke compresses while it moves, then suddenly rockets forward as if propelled by a huge gust of wind, surrounding and obscuring your vision*
